Does anybody know if the TomTom device ID changes if you perform a hard reset?
No, the device ID is unique to your device, it won't change after a hard reset. Based on the device ID, Tomtom generates map unique activation codes for your maps. Normally, the activation code(s) is stored in the storage card so that you do not have to do activate the map again after you hard reset your device provided that you did not erase (format) your storage card. I hope I answered your question.
it does - thanks v much

ever since I lost the mini-sd card in my old 6700 on a restaurant floor I've always thought encrypting the memory card was a good idea. I keep alot of personal data on the card that I wouldn't want in someone elses hands.
Now that I moved to the Tilt I've turn that feature on and password locked the phone. Over the weekend I thought of a couple scenarios ... and now I am questioning the feature.
If for some reason I had to hard reset my Tilt, would it still be able to read the encrypted micro SD card?
Is the key between them software or something bound to hardware that wouldn't change in a reset?

Hello,
For "If for some reason I had to hard reset my Tilt, would it still be able to read the encrypted micro SD card? " :
If your Make a hard reset on your Kaiser your lost your key Encryption so you can't read you sd-card encrypted.
No Probleme on soft Reset.

The key is stored somewhere in the phone. If you were to able to find it and replace it after a hardreset, it ought to be ok.
Anyway, for me, I would keep my stuff in my phone Notes encrypted (i.e. use my software - on signature), or just one of the freeware wallet.
Thanks for the answers ... I found this also for anyone else looking for info on Encryption:

problem with an encypted memory micro sd
hi,
i have a problem with my encrypted memory. the display of my phone is broken and i dont know how to decrypt my memory card. i dont want to loose all my data.
thanks.
This issue is on an AT&T Tilt.
The phone would not see the SIM card and therefore all dialing and data connections could not be made. Along with AT&T tech support, we attempted to remove/replace the SIM card, soft resets, clear storage, and finally a hard reset with no SIM connection success (he told me it appeared to be a mechanical failure with the SIM port and they are sending me another phone Monday).
My problem is when I try to access saved photos, notes, spreadsheets, CABS, and other various files both on my reset tilt and the memory card; many of the files/photos/etc. are locked.
Is there a way for me to retrieve these files? I encrypted the card in Nov of '07 . . . I was under the impression that the same windows based mobile device could open the files.
Is there something in the clear storage or hard reset functions that prevents me from retrieving the files? This is EXTREMELY disconcerting considering the fact that some of the files are there and visible ???
When I tried to re-sync it to my laptop I didn't see any kind of a restore feature that could retrieve all the data or at LEAST open the files on the card ??
Anyone familiar with this situation? I'd like to retrieve/unencrypt my information so I can successfully transfer my memory card and all it's information to the new phone before I receive said replacement phone and have to send my defective phone into AT&T.
Thanks for any assistance.
Anyone have suggestions on retrieving the locked files?

if you read the instructions that the encryption program gives you when you click to encrypt files on sd it tells you that if you do a hard reset you will no longer be able to decrypt the files.. because hardresetting deletes i the "key" that is needed to decrypt the files ... so as far as simple terms go NO you are sol'ed. Now you could search google and see if someone has been able to do a "hack" or create a hacking program that can undo encryption but i don't know what luck you will have. I know, atleast haven't come across, anything here on xda of that nature.
This was my biggest fear. I totally forgot that I encrypted the card until I attempted to access the card after I hard reset.
What sucks the MOST about this is nothing software related caused the SIM failure; it was all mechanical. So a hard reset was not even necessary.
The other night my Garmin app locked up on my kaiser and I had to power cycle the phone to get it out of the lock up.
Now when ever I run the Garmin app it fails to run and gives the following pop up error message...
""Data type misalignment at Program address 0x03F966C8 in background thread NULL (Main InitInstance)""
I have removed the Garmin app from the phone and reinstalled it from the SD Card
I have done the above after installing a newer version from the Garmin site
and neither have worked, I have mail Garmin but they haven't responded after 2 days now !!
anyone got any ideas as to what I need to do here
Thanks
Same Problem
I encountered the same problem and googled around a little bit. Turns out that some people recommended a hard reset of the device. I performed it, and reinstalled all my software (probably should have installed garmin first). I have yet to reinstall garmin on my device. I suggest backing up your software and trying a hard reset. I am not positive as to what causes this error, are you storing pictures and videos on the same card as Garmin? If so, i was doing the same and it may have corrupted it. Regardless, the only viable solution i can see for you would be a hard reset.
My gps has been working fine all the time i have had my diamond and worked even better since the orange update a few weeks ago. But yesterday in tom tom and google maps my hardware is not detected. I have tried differnt settings as mentioned on the forums here but still cant get it working. I just wondered if there was another way of trying it again b4 i have to do a hard reset. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
it happened exactly the same situation to me then i installed HTC GPS TOOL (i found it on XDA but now i don't remember in which post, just use search) that i run before launching tomtom.
Hope it helps.
Panco
what settings do i need to use on there as i cant get it to connect on any port?
I have the HTC GPS Tool, on my Ignito the port is COM4 and it will connect at any baud rate.
I suggest you set the tool to - COM port: COM4 - Baudrate:38400 - Set the drop down box to 'Cold Start'
There is a label that says 'Open' , Click on it and it should change to 'Close' and you should start receiving data in the output window.
Check the drop down is set to 'Cold Start' and click on 'Nav Init' to reboot the GPS hardware.
If you are seeing any data in the O/P window then the GPS hardware is recognized and working.

just tried those settings but get " open com port failed" message.
Oops! Then it sounds like an OS problem or a hardware fault although that's pretty unlikely.
Unless anyone else has a better idea then maybe you need a hard reset?
If it's a WM problem then a reset will cure it
You can reset and leave the Internal Storage data intact, but you'll lose all your installed apps and data on the device of course, so backup (you probably know all this already )
EDIT: Just checking - you didn't change the com port accidentally somewhere did you
windows settings are set to com 4, none and baud to 4800 as i have seen on other posts but still no joy.
i cant even seem to do a hard reset as everytime i try as soon as i touch the red reset button the phone soft resets and doesnt come up with the hard reset menu. I am holiding volume down and enter quite firmly.
You can also hard reset from >Start>Settings>System>Clear Storage with the option to leave the Internal Storage drive untouched
done a hard reset and everything is working fine again! thx for your help
Hi,
Is there a way or a tool to encrypt internal memory on diamond.
I dont like the feeling when my phone gets stolen someone can just connect usb cable and download all my data, pics. even when the phone is locked you can get to the data whitout any password.
THX
There's a registry key you can add to have encryption in the settings:
HKLM\Control Panel\Encryption
Hide should be 0
try Viscrypt
You can install individual folders or single items
Works fine on my diamond
thk, i will try this.
my previous htc touch dual had an option to encrypt sd card so it would not be read in another device and it was also impossible to access memory without unlocking the device. i thought diamond is newer/ better so it should have this option to
