Hello,
with the news french rom HTC and the last rom DOPOD tom tom 6.03 is freezing, so i made 5 modifications of the P3600 parameters and now no freeze at all and tom tom works flawlessly. Before posting the solution i will test it until tomorrow to be sure.
@+++
just for information, never meet a freeze in tomtom with the french SFR S300+ ROM
good night
FREEZE
Hello,
Yes that right with SFR 300 but SFR is not the newest rom.
The newset Rom have AKU 3.3.1
@+++
The solution is uncheck all POIs. TOMTOM will not show POIs in the map, but you will be still be able to be advised of radars proximity (or any other POI you want) or select as destination, etc.
I am testing this solution since a week and works perfectly.
download newest tomtom, solve the problem.
And what is the solution??
If TomTom Freezes I just press the green phone button and everythinh is oke again, but it is rather bad...

Yes it works
Thanks
I installed version 6.03 and it works fine now.
I sometimes still get a freeze (about once every 10 or 12 days now) but a quick power off and back on solves this in about 5 seconds. It only happens when starting so I can still trust it in city centres where you really need it.
I recently cleaned some junk files from the tomtom map folder and it has not hung since but it's too early to say if I have a 100% no freezes or not...
I never had any tomtom freezing problems till I deleted my US maps and reinstalled them with the sd card are almost full. so I reformated my sd card and reinstalled the mapset and the tomtom program only and did not have any freezing at all for are 6 hour roadtrip. guessing my problem was caused be the mapset being fragmented because the sd card was almost full when I reintalled the mapset. I don't think this will correct everyones problems but it might help some.
Just to be sure about what we are looking for
I have a TomTom 6.03 freeze with the latest FR GPS ROM…
But it concerns only when I was playing with the menus and settings with TomTom soft (also this can be avoided by switching to another program and coming back when it happens… As clicking the green button for example).
But, when I am not playing with… and I have just a navigation mode… I never had a Freeze.
Will confirm that during the w.e. as I am not using GPS during the week
To stop the freezing just disable all pois alerts on your map's...
you will not seem them on display but still have the sound alert if needed...
I thought there was solution here
The thread started will the solution but the real solution is never given *BUMMER*
I just installed ROM version 1.23.405 but TOM TOM keeps saying 'connecting to gps' but it never does.
Anyone knows why?
Tomtom Freeze
Hello,
I test the solution for one week ago and all its ok tomtom not freeze, the solution is to use ATIFix.cab (Its a fix for driver ati).
Sorry for the delay.
@++++
htc p3600 or dopod freezing on tomtom
i have downloaded the atifix and its working now as i had problem with mine and its been ok since yesterday , i think that is the soloution
Worked for me!
All,
I had the freezing problem with TomTom (version 6.03) as well. Installed the attached ATI fix and have been good for the past two weeks!
Hats off to you, Sleuth!

Hello,
I am trying to help a friend with a Kaiser and wants his iGo working in it.
Everything seems ok, iGo starts but after some seconds it shuts down. I tried to change GPS port and everything else I could thought but problem persists. Any advice?

Did you try Tomtom before iGo? I have the same issue with google maps. It will seek sats and give up saying no gps signal. But if I run tomtom and then start gmaps it works fine (inside buildings). I would suggest you open iGO outside and check it out. Are you using COM4?
Will check... now he is travelling (Poland) but will call me when he came back.
I did not tried TOM TOM...
find a free program called GPS Test. Set it to Com 4 / 4800. Much smaller than TomTom and certainly an app that's worth keeping on it.
-Mc
the issue is that the internal GPS on the Kaiser needs to be "jump started" there a few apps that do this a free one that is also good is GPSViewer and the others mentioned above. I use TomTom well since it came with my Kaiser and with all that Damn Program memory who the hell cares if I use 10MB to install TomTom and a Map
I have never had problems with starting my GPS. I did a quick fix once and have used it with first Google maps (no problem) then Pocketstreets (again no issue) and finally Tom Tom.
I have never had to wait more than 20 seconds or so for a fix. Make sure you are outside before starting the application though.
On a different thread I have been looking for a fix for a voice instruction problem where the voice 'cuts-off' before the end of the command.
I get 'After 200 yards...' but no more, when the command should be 'After 200 yards, turn left'.
So, I re-flashed my device (which was a Vodafone v1615, with Vodafone ROM) to the standard HTC ROM, and re-installed TomTom.
Same problem!
So, my question now is, how many other Kaiser users with TomTom suffer the same problem?
I'm really beginning to think this is an issue with the version of TomTom with internal GPS...
Any others have comments on this?
I have the same with my TomTom and every rom for Kaiser so I think it's the TT version. Doesn't make any difference if the voice is installed on device or microSD card.
never experienced this issue,
Do you have a legitimate copy of tom tom on your devices?
Hi,
I have the same TT voice problem: "after ..." then nothing !!!
I 've tried with Tomtom V6.00, 6.03 but I have the same problem.
My ppc phone is LG KS20 on WM6
+++ Important note: I used TT V6.00 with my old HTC S110 running on WM2003SE and I don't have this problem. But when I changed to KG KS20 (wm6), I get this probleme with the same maps, same version of tomtom (same installation: tt6ifalleni.cab). Tested with 2 maps v675.1409: FR_plus & Western_Europe -> same voice problem.
Please help !!!
I've read a couple threads where people complain about the voice not completing,and they indicated that the fix for them, if I remember correctly, was moving the voices to the main memory from the SD card.
Hi ewingr,
That was a post from me when I thought it had fixed the problem - it didn't, although it seemed to work for a while - hence the post...
Still looking for the fix!
Oh, and everything is legit - as supplied with the CD that came with the device, and the small 'town' map your area able to download for free.
Used to use a Qtek 9100 - with no problems!

All my voices are in the SD card. I tried also to put them in phone memory (/navigator/voices) and had always this problem. Voices are selected in TomTom but not completing !!!
Have now tried an older version of TomTom (6.030), and still have the same problem.
Also placed map and Navigator all in device memory, and still same problem...
What the %*!$ is going on???
How many other people are suffering this? Does no one have any other ideas I can try?
i had this problem too
i deleted these files, MapSettings.cfg, TMCCODES.DAT, TRAFFIC.DAT, TRAFFIC.INC (where u place ur map). then i reset tomtom back to default setting. and i still have same problems, then after 2 or 3 uses of tomtom in two days. Now it's back to normal. I use TT6.030.8320.
Hope this help. I thought iam the only one
TT6.01 is working perfectly for me, but i have problem recieving call while using TomTom. that's right, i switch to 6.03.
hi all. i am running TT 6.030 on my unbranded kaiser with no flaws whatsoever. the internal gps works a treat. its not the most legit copy going, anyone browsing mininova.org could find it. i have all the voices installed to the sd card, however i have never used any of the "supplied" voices. i use the john cleese voice which i also "found"
no tomtom voice problems with me either, and i also place my voice files in the sd card. as for the voice type, i use a knight rider one . you can find many more of these custom voices here

Same voice cut-off problem on my At&T Tilt using TT Version 6.032 (8351)
Had to use that TT version because I could not install previous versions onto the device. That was the only version that would load.
Are any of the people that don't have the cut-off voice issues using an AT&T-branded device?
yup, i use a tilt

for me, yeah, becuz i tried everything (all the tomtom version), but make sure u backup ur original file first, then u open start tomtom, tomtom will automatically create the new files for u.
I am running TT 6.032 and having no problems at all with the John Cleese voice. I did notice there were some problems with a few other voices I tried....Sean Connery, Naughty Natalie etc in that they would be cut off as they are taking too long and the instruction has passed due to speed and position...
I really don't believe it has anything to do with your ROM version.

Same problems. TomTom Version 6.032, Map Western Europe v.675.1409. Original TyTN II. All legal. I saved the files you mentioned on my desktop. Restarted TomTom and so far it recreated the MapSettings.cfg and the traffic.inc. Not the traffic.dat or the tmccodes.dat though. Will use it tomorrow and see if it works again. Thanx for the help.
Greets,
I think someone once posted a possible solution to keep TomTom from starting up when you do a soft reset.
I have searched for that solution (including HOPING it was added to the TomTom string), but can't find it.
Does anyone know?
Thanks!
If you look on your storage card, I bet you have a folder called (IIRC) 2577.
This folder is the installation folder for TomTom and it will be run when you insert the memory card (and very likely, when you soft-reset).
If you have the folder, I suggest you rename to something different (maybe 'OLD_2577' or something like that?).
I think that will fix the problem.
yes
i've got the same problem.
i've deleted this folder and the problem is disappeared
I had this problem once.... actually after a soft reset it ran tomtom and also the installation of tomtom... very annoying....
In the end I think it came down to 2 files on the root of the memory card... one called "install.bif" and the second was called "tomtom.bif".. think these must be some sort of autorun files. as after I removed them... everything was sorted..
see if they are on your memory card...
GPS lags when trying to receive signal
When I first installed a cracked version of TOMTOM version 6.010 it worked great and receiving signal was fast. Now it takes forever to get satellite signal. Any suggestions guys? Thank you thank you

Is your QuickGPS file current? I have mine set to autoupdate when necessary, but an error could have changed that setting so it only updates manually.

I found it makes a huge difference with TomTom and Google Maps when I first turn on the HTC GPS Tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360477&highlight=HTC+GPS+Tool
I let it go for a couple of minutes, I make sure my QuickGPS is current, and then I turn on TomTom and it works great.
hey there...
i have a problem with my GPS in my diamond
i installed the SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V4.0 - CE OS 5.2.19965 (BUILD 19965.1.2.3) ROM
but now my tomtom cant find any GPS signal and niether can HTC GPS TOOL..
Am i doing anything wrong or is it a problem with the ROM i Upgraded from a Danish ROM
Thanks in advance

Did you do a hard reset AFTER flashing?
yep, it happened to me also, an hard reset should resolve, in any case I suggest you to install the utility "GPSTest" (google to find it).
that program is useful because it is able to "renew" the gps status, after installation just launch it (outside of course) and let the program to automatically check your GPS status (1st time it can take 2 or more minutes), when you see at least 3 sat aligned simply close the program, shutdown the phone (NOT soft reset) and then after reboot launch tomtom and you'll see that it will recognize again the gps module.
bye,
davide
i dont think it is fault that you did not do a hard reset after flashing your rom, neither did i.
You should run the htc gps tool with cold start for a while (3-4 mins minimum), then ur TT can find gps.

The same story here, except that I used GoogleMap. It took a long time for GPS to get a fix and when it did, it found only a few satellites. The reception was also poor with a lot of lagging. And yes, I forgot to make a hardreset after flashing.
I just installed http://www.efficasoft.com/gpsutilities/index_wm_ppc.html and this program got an immediate fix to 12 satellites. I then rebooted and noticed that also GoogleMap was OK now. Why? Someone else may explain.
Untick "Auto search Bluetooth GPS receiver"
Set "COM Port" to COM4.
Set "Baud Rate" to 4800.
hello everybody
im having a very wiered problem since today, i have flashed the new 1.93 NLD stock rom, and the gps decided not to work anymore, i did everything possible, hardresetting, reflashing the rom, but nothing helped, i also installed this HTC tool, and let it running for a while, nothing changed, i deiced to leave google maps runnign for a while, it turned a message saying that my GPS device is having torubles finding a GPS signal.
does that sound familiar to anybody,,, actually what makes it wierede, the programs can see the GPS chip, i mean in tomtom and google maps, but only the device, no signal.
Best regards
Kevin
Always remember to do a hard-reset after installing a new rom.
- I have tried several times that my gps were "stuck". My sollution is the Htc Gps tool (Find it here: http://maritime-billeder.dk/htc-diamond.html). With that you can choose to do a warm or a cold start. This gives the gps chip a kick, and almost always fixes the problem.

Hi,
I am using the original ROM 1.93 and I have installed Destinator 7 with Greek maps (2008). I don't know why, but the GPS loses its signal instantly and then everything is fine. This happens after a certain number of seconds and it is repeated.
Does anyone know hot to fix this?
Thank you.

I have had the same thing.
Turn OFF your AGPS with advance config.
If that doens't help, give it a hard reset.
cor
try with radio .07 (you wont loose anything), it catches gps signal quiker...

Here is my experience, where I noticed the GPS problems disappear completely.
From day 1, when I got my Diamong, first thing I did, without testing the GPS with shipped older official ROM, was to flash to SwiftBL ROM ... great ROM I have to say. But then I noticed that I had fix-no-fix-fix-no-fix (lags) problem, as well as the fixing itself taking up to 10-15 minutes. I tried newer SwiftBL ROMS, tried switching A-GPS, tried using .07 and .08 radios .... nothing, problem persisted.
I went back to .05 radio, and this time flashed with Dutty's Full v2 ROM ... very very fast and neat ROM. The ROM has A-GPS switched off from start. I did one hard-reset after flashing ROM, as Dutty recommends, and guess what ... no lags and fix within 10-20 seconds.
What was the problem .... I sinserely do not know, whether the combination of ROM+Radio+A-GPS! ..... main thing being now my GPS is fast at fixing, signal quality high and no lags.
Hope this helps.
cpootjes, because of the work load I managed to visit the site today!!
I activated A-GPS after a hard reset. I didn't even think that this could be a problem! However, I will test it and I will post the result..
Thanks anyway..
cpootjes, having activated A-GPS caused the problem (as you told me)..
Thanks again !!
Folks, since you have Destinator 7 installed and running, I hope you can help me... I cannot get mey Destinator Portal to see my internal storage, so I can install my maps there. Any suggestion ?
