All,
I recently flashed over to the HTC ROM. Since that time, I have had TomTom hangup on me after I fully charged the battery. Partial charges seem fine, but whenever the battery is fully charged and I do a softreset Tom Tom will start up and hang on the startup screen at that point my phone is useless and won't respond unless I take out the SD card.
So I have two questions:
1) First, what is the regedit I can do to stop TT from automatically starting on reset?
2) I am currently running TT Nav 6.010-ish... I am planning on updating using the cab files I have seen on here to 6.032. After updating, do you think that will solve my problems with TT hanging up??
Thanks for the read.

Greetings,
My Kaiser arrived without Tom Tom 6 installed. I found the software on these forums, installed it and GPS is working fine. However, after installation my Today screen disappears completely. Even after going into settings and adding items nothing appears on the screen except battery, signal strength etc on the top bar.
A hard reset solves the problem but only until Tom Tom is installed again. Any idea what could be the problem?
Hmm, I remembered that I got this issue before, but I just did soft-reset and then fine again.
Maybe try to arrange the plugin up and down. Put the Tomtom in the bottom.

I tried doing above but no success. It appears that its not only after Tom Tom installation, but any time i try to configure Today Screen it simply disappears. This also happens after running any program e.g skype or google earth.
Anybody help?
Sounds like a defective unit since I have only heard of this happening to yours sorry to say.
Hello,
I have been a member for about 3 months or so but not been a heavy poster. (sorry about that)
anyway I have a small problem which normally gets solved by a few searchs but I don't seem to be having any luck.
I Have an Orange build kaiser (installed the today screen) and have hard reset the device a few times after encounting the same problem again and again (about to hard reset for the 4th time i belive)
back to the point, the problem seems to be a simple one in that new SMS don't appear on my today screen... weired?! and last night was the worst my phone was on charge but in standbye mode but my girlfriend couldn't connect any phone calls and when i checked my phone i had a mountain of missed calls and a bundle of txts which all came through at the same time on wake up..
(I've mentioned the fact my phone was on charge because search results suggest it was due to a 30% or less battery)
when i had the problem before I thought at 1st it was one of the many many cabs that have installed so this time i made sure i+I only had on the minumal
(forgive me but with the phone not being with me I am not sure on the names but here is the list)
HTC Home (maybe an old verison but i have tried many verisons)
HTC Home customiser (with IPHONE apps theme)
TOM TOM 6
HTC touch Keypad
A program to stop the phone connecting to the internet
A program that on start up my phone switches directly to the Keypad
Like I said used to install loads and loads of cabs but now limiting my self to a few to try and rectify the problem.
any one else had this problem? should i send it back to Orange? (I have insurance), will there be problems reinstalling TOM TOM? is one of the apps i have currently installed a problem?
any help would be much appricated and thank you in advance.
Does it exhibit this behaviour if you leave the phone in shipped condition, with NO software installed by yourself? If so, then it's faulty; if not, then install your apps one by one and test until you find what's causing it by process of elimination.
thanks for the reply...
I was going to leave it this time around with the dreaded orange home screen, was hoping someone else had a simular problem with one of the apps i have already mentioned
I'll give it a go tonight and see how it goes
thanks again for the reply
iv just downloaded the latest tomtom, and its put a badge/icon on my today screen. AFAIK it doesnt actually do anything, it cant be clicked on or selected, and as a result id like to get rid of it.
iv tried going through the Tomtom settings, checking the today\items and deleting it from the registry under software\microsoft\todays\items but none of it gets rid of it.
Does anyone have a way of doing it?
cheers
You need to *uncheck* the Tomtom box in the today screen options and that icon will then only be accessible from the start menu. Thats what I did with my TyTN II and it works perfectly. If the box is checked you'll get that icon on the today screen.
BTW, if you're using the recently released HTC WM 6.1 update with HTCs Navigator 6.032 are you finding GPS performance to be much worse than before the upgrade (slow fixes and wild fluctuations in GPS reception bars even when stationary)?
thanks for the reply, ill give it a go.
Im a new tom tom & 6.1 user (just flashed one of duttys), so dont have any previous experience to compare it with, sorry.
I'm finding the Tom Tom (and other GPS apps) to be worse after the upgrade unfortunately - it's the only fault I can find with the new ROM. The problem for me is just the first fix after any soft reset - it always takes an age (up 10-15 minutes) which I'm sure wasn't the case before.
Subsequent fixes (after closing and later re-opening TT or another GPS program) are always much quicker, within 30 seconds even, so obviously once it's been initialised once it's fine, until the next soft reset when you're back to square one.

do you download the quickgps data after the soft reset, i believe that doesnt save when you do a soft reset, and the first lock you get from GPS, will be remembered and make it easier for the future connections.
I never have a problem with GPS connections, only tomtom and its poorly slow application refresh.
AFAIK it downloads in the background on a regular basis still, whenever I'm plugged into the PC at work (which is most of the working day) - whenever I check it, it always claims to be up to date, anyway. But I agree the behaviour is as if that data isn't there anymore... peculiar.

Then you're lucky! Mine now locks up regularly (2 or 3 times a day) and it never used to before the up?grade.

Although this part also applies to me, even after getting a fix, if I shut it down while I'm moving and start it up again after a couple of minutes its still much slower than it used to be in the same locations under WM 6.0
I'll email HTC and Tomtom about it as it's clear there's now a problem.

If you ever used HardSPL (or possibly even if you didn't) you probably need to flash the new HTC SPL - see the thread over in ROM development. It cured all the freezing issues for me.

I'm pretty sure it's an HTC issue, since I have the same problems using GPS in MS Live Search too. Unfortunately there's not much point in me emailing them, because mine is officially Vodafone branded and they don't support it.

Thanks for the tip. I'm the old school sort who believes the hardware provider should be responsible for fixing things, hence why I'll write when I get the time but I may try this later if I get annoyed enough! I've never installed HardSPL and this official HTC upgrade was the first flash I've subjected my TyTN II to.

In the end the buck stops with HTC and as they are responsible for my phone, I'll remember other branded users are also depending on a fix from them when I write.

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.

Hi Everybody
Thanks to your support and explanation in this forum, i upgraded my Qtek 2020 to WM 6. But now i have problem when i use tomtom 7. During navigation, the screen freezes for a couple of seconds, and then starts to function again. Every few minutes, the screen freezes, and so on. I tried to upgrade radio rom to ver. 1.17, tried different tomtom versions, and also the ATIFIX.cab file, but this doesn't work on Himalaya devices.
I need right suggestions to fix the problem.
Thanks to all.
Regards
Sounds to me like lack of memory or slow sd-card. A 133x works fine!
I finally solved!!!
The problem was the phone section turned off.
When i turn on phone section ok Qtek2020, Tomtom works fine, never freeze and really smooth during navigation.
That's all!!
