My new Vario III arrived this morning on T-Mob UK but I'm at a loss as to how to migrate all of my old setup across from my Tytn. Under PalmOS this was a fairly straightforward proces, but I can't find anything about it for WM.
Thanks.

My K-Jam / MDA Vario is two hours old but damn, she's fine ! I see about the speed thing but it's not that obtrusive. I understand the WM 5 thing about loading the programs from ROM into RAM to execute but I have questions later.Given the other integrated features I like, fine compromise. Now on to the topic at hand:
Bought this unit from importgsm.com for US$589.99 (sweet). It's T-Mobile MDA Vario from Germany so all manuals, CDs, etc are in German. Not too worry, lot's of English PDF manuals, start up docs on the web. Have done my first AS 4.1 sync, no problems. Installed a few programs so far, no problems.
Had to checked for EDGE in Austin, TX so set up an APN connection of internet3.voicestream.com and times connect speeds at 81.6Kbps (10KBps) using www.texan.com/speed.htm. This seems higher than my GPRS connect specs I had recorded on my XDA II at 45Kbps - 52Kbps.
Questions:
A Qtek ROM/Radio was loaded on this unit even though it's TMO. ImportGSM customer service says it's a better ROM at the moment for Wizard units that they stock. The i-mates are hard to come by he said.
1) How do I check that the speed slow down items, I've read about (virus scanner, etc) are installed and/or running? Then, naturally, how to eliminate them.
2) Here's my ROM/Radio specs for Qtek:
ROM: 1.1.7.5 dated 9/22/05
Radio: 1.1.10.0
Protocol: 4.0.13.16
ExtROM: 1.1.7.105
Given that, what's the XDA communities recommedation on upgrading ROM/Radio? Is this an "old" ROM/Radio"? Should I wait longer to upgrade? Should I go with i-mate's latest, do a Qtek upgrade, use TMO ... ??? Thoughts gentlemen?
I'm comfortable with EXE upgrades but not RAR upgrades but could, in a pinch, do it.

Hi,
I searched both TomTom thread and the forum and still could not find the .cab files for 6.030 (I only find 6.032 which is not working with my Kaiser).
Anyone can help me?
Thanks
if you have a TyTN II, use the TomTom that came with your phone on the disc.
if you have a Tilt, use the cab that I posted in my tomtom tilt (working) post. search for it.
if you have one of the other variations, I can't help you
I dont have TomTom on my cd.
I have tried installing 6.0302 and it wont work (need to upgrade ROM notice).
Anyone knows how to fix this problem? I saw couple of post regarding this error but still no resolution.
If I installed 6.030, how can I get my trial map?
Thanks!
you paid for a TyTN II from HTC and you dont have TomTom on the disc that they gave you?
Did you buy this thing used?

Not necessarily true - for example the MDA Vario III in UK doesn't ship with TomTom on disc either...

And neither does the Tilt. But the Tilt, the Vario III, and the TyTN II are all different phones sold by different companies. And since the OP said that he doesnt have TomTom on the CD that came with the phone, there's a logic assumption that they think they own a TyTN II phone and that phone did in fact come with TomTom on the supplied CD
I have recently purchased an Orange TNTY II which did not come with the Tom Tom Software and would like to know where to buy it from. Have seen that the HTC site has it for £70 but states that it can only be use=d on one particular screen so am a little lost as to where I can get the full european maps from. Can anyone help please
well, I've just got my TyTN II this morning, and haven't installed Tom Tom yet, but had it on my Universal which I bought from www.tomtom.com - it installs through the TomTom home application which you can download to your PC.
hope this helps.
There are, of course, always "other ways" of getting TomTOM
And for your benifit (i.e. when searching), the phone is called "TYTN II" not "TNTY"
Thanks for the help guys and apologies for calling it the TNTY and not the TYTN. I have dyslexic fingers when I type.
Will see what I can find out from various sites.
Cheers and take it easy
Hi there,
I'm new here, since I just got my new HTC Tytn II and registered here for info etc.
Although the Tytn II did replace my old Nokia 6680 and iPaq H3970 for some functions, I can't get it to work with my TomTom Rider 2nd Edition Europe.
I used the TomTom Rider with my Nokia to be able to make and receive phonecalls while on my motorbike.. always had fun with it. But now.. sigh!...
I tried everything, installed the BT_DUN.cab and copied the modemlink files into the Windows folder of my Tytn II.. but no results..
is the WM6 + Tytn II combo crap or is there another workaround/fix update orso?
Thank in advance..

Tested the Kaiser with a Garmin Zumo tonight.. worked flawlessly.. so should be an issue with TomTom?
Anyone? plzzzz...
Seems like I stand completely alone in this issue.. although.. on the forum here..
I have been calling with TomTom support for a few times.. and they are not giving any comment on this problem. I talked to a supervisor of the support-department and he said the development department wo'nt give any information about if they are working on this not-want-to-pair trouble with the TytN II and TomTom Go-Rider combo.
Since the TytN II does pair with a Garmin Zümo and even the phonebook synchronisez perfectly (where most of the Symbian phones don't) I also talked to the Dutch HTC support department about this if maybe they could work something out.
Garmin did provide a softwareupdate for their Zümo devices, where before that time the TytN II wouldn't connect to the Zümo as well.
Anyone with enough technical knowledge who has ideas about this? I really don't like to sell my Rider 2nd Edition for only maybe 200 Euros and have to buy a brandnew Zümo for 575 Euros, where I still have to buy an optional bluetooth Cardo Rider for my helmet, since TomTom Rider comes with one.
Anyone?
Tried everything so far.. nothing..
I just can't believe this sjit.
always best to do trial and error with gps providers before sticking to 1 or 2 and forking money over for nothing
Hello there,
I have issued some problems with satnav software's. In last few days, when using iGo8 or GMXT (Garmin Mobile XT) the satellite signal is sometimes losing and turning back. The same situation is on both SW. The tytn II is used in Serbia.
Today, I have installed THE SAME version of iGo8 which has problems (not jet done with GMXT) on other tytn II which has cooked ROM (hyperdragon) and guess what: Software was working perfectly!!! Navigation, routing everything else was working great.
I checked configuration on both tytn's and it's the same. Port for communication is COM4 and baud rate is the same: 57600.
Mine tytn II which has problems is running on WM 6.1 downloaded from HTC web site and other one on which navigation is going smoothly has cooked ROM as I said before.
Could anyone advise what to do because I'm planning to travel arround Europe soon.
thanx a lot
