Try adjusting the amount of allocated "program memory".
I had similar problems before, but now everything works perfectly!!!
My setting is 40 MB program memory.
PS. Today I drove around 8 hours in Denmark and Sweden using TomTom 3. Without it I would be lost... :wink:
thanks i tried that but its still the same any one else got any ideas. thanks
M1bwe,
Because this is all sitting on Microsoft technologies :roll: , I that was me, I would apply the 3 most basic patch of all : 1. Reinstall ttn, or 2. remove and Reinstall ttn or 3. Hard Reset and Reinstall ttn
For me, this would take me 10 minutes as I have few apps. 10 minutes is surely less then than figuring out what the problem is
Intellectually, this is not satisfactory , but I have found it time efficient :wink:

Had a Vario III for 2 weeks now - fantastic device (upgraded from Universal, completely free!). Seem to have a problem with some applications starting really really slowly.
First noticed with TomTom 6, installed to main, maps on 2gb SD (SanDisk Ultra II), shows the splash screen for 5 minutes - then TomTom starts and it's fine. Thought it may be it was something to do with GPS turning on, but Google Maps and GPS Photo works fine.
Now noticed that the same thing happens with Word and HTC Voice Recorder - they both take about 5mins to start up - I just see the title screen.
Anyone got the same kind of problem or know what causes it?
Thanks
*** Also happens with Excel, Powerpoint, Notes, pPod seems slow too. All other apps work fine
I haven't this issue at all. You may want to back up your device using Sprite or SPB Backup and then hard reset.
After the hard reset, you can restore all of your files to see if that makes it any better.
Also, kudos to you for having the patience to wait 5 minutes for an app to start... I have the patience to wait...around 10 seconds.
Sometimes, they do start straight away, usually after a soft reset, but then when they are run again they take ages.
Though I might have to do a HR - just got it all setup how I like it! Maybe it's some other app caused the problem - I did install quite a bit on it.
I'll reset and see how it goes.
Thanks for reply.
Hard reset, reinstalled, all works fine now. TomTom startup <10 secs.
Hi
I get my Titlt in February, works fine, but 2 weeks ago i was searching the web, and got into a page that runs a script and blocked my phone, had to do a soft reset, and after that, backlight doesn't works, needs to put it brighter manually, power button doesn't works either, had to remove the storage card, because i have there Tom Tom installed and every time i made a soft reset, phone freeze loading Tom Tom, problems to answer calls, bluetooth stop answering or making calls, then phone ran out of battery, and i had it off for 3 or 4 days, then i charge it, and it works fine, but today in the morning i was searching the web again, and went to the same web page, and get the same problem, i don't know what to do, i deleted the cache from internet explorer, and the history, remove the storage card, have 50 mb free in main memory, and want to avoid a hard reset, any idea what's going on, and how to solve it?
Thanks

for starters i would STOP going to that page since it seems like they have a bad script on their site. secondly it looks like you are going to need to do a hard reset if you want to completely eliminate the problem. Its hard to tell whats going on or how to solve it without knowing what function(s) the script was trying to perform.

lol not as bad as your grammer
Out of curiosity, what website is this?
I noticed after few days (3-4 days) my Diamond becomes slow little bit, I checked memory and still I have 27M free, Nothing in Task Manager , I even closed all the programs, ofcorse SR help.. I guess it's leakage memory or something...
Did some1 measure what is the Diamond uptime without SR ?
details of ROM and Radio would be useful
Rom 1.93.456.2
Radio 05
Have you tried rebooting? (soft reset). It is a little PC you know.

More of that , if I close all programs I have 35M free
(I even closed TF3D and re open it from today),
after SR (Soft Restet) I have 53M !!!, so where 18M gone ?
With my old P3300 (WM5) I made SR once in 2-3 weeks..
Mine too. calupd.exe seems to hang. The previous time it did that I had to hard reset, but I can't do that every 2 weeks. Does anybody else have this problem? My ROM ver is in my signature.
I find that too. A soft reset helps.
I get similar problems and soft reset a few times a day. I've downloaded fdcsoft taskmanager to troubleshoot by soft resetting and making a note of what is running. I've noticed a few processes leave themselves in memory such as RSS Hub, AlbumSearcher.exe, AudioManager_eng.exe, tmail.exe. I'm sure there's others aswell but you'll need to look at what is running on your device after soft reset as you may have additional programs or different software to me. I am still trying to find others and ways of closing these without having to keep opening the Task Manager.
I found a solution to stop calupdate.exe: just change the time zone and then switch back. Not sure how permanent the solution is, but time will tell... In any case, it's much faster than reset.
Terminate proces "cprog.exe" with some task manager , then press a call button and wait for 6-7 second while phone is come on the screen. It is all what you need
i reset my axim x30 like once every 6 months... my phone? everyday. its ridiculous.

By killing cprog.exe it stuck Task Manager itself and after few second cprog.exe becomes "fat" back exacly as it was b4 killing...
I use SKSchema to automatically soft reset my Diamond every day, before I get up in the morning. I'll also keep an eye on memory usage and reset if free memory drops too low (usually anywhere below 40MB free) after using large applications.
This is Windows after all, not Linux - it needs frequent resets but that needn't be a hassle.
About the soft reset every day, I still investigate wired and strange behavior,
If I put the Diamond to sleep (charge) b4 Midnight it may get Reboot by itself
during the night (I have no auto backup or something), If i put the Diamond to sleep after Midnight , so no reboot during the night, did some1 can explain this wired behavior ?
I don't know if there is connection but If I turn on Diamond lets at 00:30
after Midight , I see the Clock update fast from 00:00 , 00:01 , 00:02 and so on till it arrives to 00:30 (There is other thread about this strange behavior)
All I can say, something happened in Diamond at Midnight..
It's not Linux, but still no needs reboot every day, it should run at least 1-2 weeks without SR

YES , but the memory usage ist lower then befor, for example befor I have 70 % of memory used , after 55 % , and it is normal for Diamond with TouchFlo.

Maybe it help in some cases like it help u, I didn't see any free memory by killing the cprog.exe...(it comes back as it was and free memory remain the same)
I think problem is with app "phone" whitch is in memory 2-4 times, and if you terminate cprog.exe and restart it (with call button) phone app will by only 1 times in memory.
This help you only if Diamond goin too slow (memory usage upper 70 %) and you don`t need restart it.
The best solution for saving memory (TouchFlo3D is working but phone is outside)
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin"
REG_DWORD from 1 to 0
Is powering the phone off and on the same as soft reset? I power the phone off at night before I go to bed and power it on the next morning. The phone works very well so far.
I have had tomtom7 installed on my T-Mobile Compact V. Ive also upgraded .NET to 3.5 and installed g-config so as to allow TT7 to work in landscape mode. Everything worked fine, (other than the known problem of the clipped audio).
However I now find that sometimes (more and more regularly), when I start TOMTOM, I get the spash screen, but when that dsiappears, TT7 doesnt start.
The only way round this is to do a soft reset and start TT7. however when I exist and then later try to start it again it again sometimes refuses to start.
Anyone else had this problem?
Regards
Max
I have the same problem...sometimes it starts at the first time, others it doesn't start for 4/5 times...
I get that problem occasionally, but I have never had more than a single incident - simply launching the app again (without a soft reset) has always worked for me...so far.
same here.
Sometimes it starts the first time, sometimes after 2 to 10 times ! And sometimes it won't start at all and the soft reset is needed. (ClerRAM level 2 doesn't work in thoses cases).
Pretty annoying beacause sometimes during a day I have to start TomTom 20 times (and if every time I need to start it 10 times ... you do the math !)
I guess there is a process interfering with TomTom boot, but I can't seem to find wich one...
Which version of TomTom do ya all use?
I use 7.910 without any problems.
With 7.915 I had problems but not for long because I un-installed it very quick.
I use 7.910 indeed ...
what kind of problems did you have with 7.915 ?
i have the same problem but i have to just try and restart the app once or twice again for it to work. The version im using is 7.915 (installed using ttn7.915.9196.vga_black.cab). If u actually have the MS error reporting on it shows that an error occured but just asks to send info to MS. however im not sure how to check the details of the error.
any ideas?

I think the prompt asks you if you want to check for details.
Im using TTN_7.450.9028
Its that a stable version?
While using TT yesterday, I found that i dont have to reset, I just need to keep launching it, till it starts.
i had the same problem when i installed tomtom on the storage card, it instaled on the phone now and it starts first time, everytime
Hi,
when I wanted to use Navigon the other day it did not get any GPS signal.
When I leave it on the map display it updates like every 10 minutes with somehwere that I passed while driving.
Restarts do not help and also other GPS based tools (like MapFactor Navigator) do the same.
Did this happen to anyone else / how do I recover from that (do not really like to try a factory reset since a) I do not know if it would help and b) I don't like to reinstall and setup all apps again.....)?
Thanks,
KalleH

Similar but not quite the same. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029729
I start suspecting a firmware/SW issue?
Thanks, saw that...but actualy a "short" shutdown (wait 5 minutes) a few times did not help.
Yesterday evening I switched off the phone and only switched it on this morning and ....hey.....GPS working again....
Strange

It got worse for me (see same link above: gps stopped working a few days later)...in the end I hard reset it .... it seem that did it. No more issues since then at least. I do not know yet what caused the gps settings to be corrupted, which makes me a bit nervous since I might have to do a full hard reset again in the future (restoring all my settings + SW takes 2-3 hours for me; cannot root device because I need company access).
Even if GPS is now working since the app update I now have to stop my Navigon app and clear the cache everytime to be able to start it again....
