Currently getting an error "no connection to GPS" when paired with my above mentioned bluetooth GPS.
This GPS works fine with the Symbian version of the GPS. I have used Bluetooth GPS application on the play store to connect without any issues, i am able to get a lock on satellites etc...
Has anyone experience the same problems?
Galaxy S2 ICS 4.03 and the latest version of Racechrono from GooglePlay.
Note: I did have this working previously by disabling the Pbab bluetooth service on the phone, but this work around no longer works.

Not sure why it works fine with other applications, maybe they have managed to do workaround to this problem. Can you try it with few other (free) apps that support Bluetooth GPS, and report back?
What I changed for v2.04 (from v2.03) was I created a workaround to fix the S2 ICS Bluetooth disconnection problem. It's possible that this interferes with your workaround. What I'd like to do is to fix the problem altogether, not just enable the cumbersome workaround again.
Cheers
Working: Bluetooth GPS Provider, Bluetooth GPS
Not Working: GPS Mouse, GPSInfo
Of the two that were working Bluetooth GPS Provider worked each and every time, however Bluetooth GPS had some problems with an error connection refused and took a few times to get the BT connection.
Some screen shots for Bluetooth GPS:

PS- i have tried on a galaxy S3, HTC desire and HTC sensation with the same problem
im thinking about getting this device, qstarz bt-q1000ex so I can use it with my motorcycle on track days, wont need a live timer on the bike but if it pairs with the phone for track days it will be great.
Note I am now rooted with the CM9.1 ICS4.04, however prior to 2.11 this was not working previously. Thanks for the updates
