Hello
I am new to this forum, so sorry if i posted this thread in the wrong place.
I have a htc tytn 2 locked to orange, and i was trying to install tomtom6 when i realised that i need to update the rom to do that.
could you plzz let me know how i can install tomtom or update the rom as the main reason i got the fone was to use the gps on it.
Also if it is possible to unlock the fone then plzz let me know.
thank you
why upgrading ? I have tomtom on my kaiser and it works
which rom do you have ?
ce os 5.2.1620 (build 18125.0.4.2)
rom version: 1.81.61.2 wwe
You don't need to update the rom
I'm on orange uk and took the card (with tomtom installed) straight from my tytn into the tytn 2 and worked straight off... well after I told it to use the internal gps
tomtom version = 6.0.32
rom is out the box orange uk rom
I guess that what he is trying to do is to install the TomTom software that came with other Tytn2 devices. Orange UK took that software off the CD and and I think that they adjuested the ROM so that the TYTN2 TOMTOM software refuses to be installed. I tried installing the TOMTOM TYTN2 version but it gives an error message... however.. my TOMTOM 6 from TYTN is working fine with builtin GPS!
Ciao
i too have a out the box orange uk rom running tomtom 6023,no problems at all
the orange rom i have is :1.81.61.2 WWE
rom date : 09/20/07
I also have Orange TyTn II, running TomTom 6.0.3.0
With the internal GPS, I find it takes quite a while to get a signal lock. I reckon it's a pretty low power device internally, and it suffers from problems in built up areas. Even with QUickGPS, it takes a good minute to lock on at the best of times.
I also have a Qstar 180 bluetooth GPS, based on a SIRF3 generation chipset. This is much better than the internal and generally I use this one
Also don't under any circumstances even open the External GPS application. Even opening this stopped by GPS working. Insane, so hopefully a fix will come out soon

I have just taken delivery of the new Orange HTC TyTN II and all is going well. Typically they have removed many great apps, including the Internet Calling, HTC Home and Touch stuff and other HTC includes.
The TomTom 6 Navigator that some are reporting comes with the HTC version is not included with this, so I have installed the version I had installed from CD on my Hermes (SPV M3100).
The problem is that even when updated to version 6.030, the app simply cannot connect to the GPS. How can I a) check that Orange have not removed that and b) configure the GPS control panel to work.
This is driving me barmy!!!!
(On a seperate note, is there a single list of the great CABs for the Kaiser - rather than 52 pages of a thread?!)
The cabs are all in the first few posts...
My O Tytn2 works fine with GPS... just look at the EXTERNAL GPS settings for com and speed and use them on Tom Tom?
Orange Tytn II
Is that Uk Orange .... are they calling it Tytn II or is it an SPV no.
I wasn't aware that this had been released by orange yet
Uk Orange. HTC Tytn 2 branding
Released last week.
Tom Tom 6 on Orange
if you go on to the tom tom site and under support just type built in gps
there is a tutorial for another phone but it works on tytn II
why do orange play around with the roms and remove things
has anyone tried the cooked roms on orange.
i read a post that someone who did it cannot use any network cards

Hi, i work everyday yesterday and today trying to make the destinator 6 work,
I use the duttýs feb.08 rom and radio i also try a lot, i am using now, the 1.58.21.23 NIKI
The problem is i can found the Gps port with destination configurations on COM4, 115200 , NMEA but WHEN I PUT IN THE SCREEN TO FIND THE GPS POSITIONS, I READ A MESSAGE " GPS ANTENNA NOT FOUND"
I only make it work emulating the gps position with FRASON GPSGATE .
I think the problem is the time or delay of antennas, what ca i do?
NOTE: AFTER A DESINSTALL THE FRASON GPS GATE I DO A HARD RESET.

any news?
Anyone have any news?
Flavio,
I installed destinator 6.1 and I'm having the same problem. It finds the GPs and keep changing from " GPS Antenna found" and "GPS Antenna not found" in each 2 seconds.
Is it the same problem that you are having?
I'm using Confused Stu's Windows Vista 1.3 Cooked Rom with Radio Ver 1.65.14.06 and Destinator 6 works perfectly
C
I'm using Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700
Destinator 7 work fine (downloaded a trial version) but id doesn`t have the language that I need, so I rather use Destinator 6.
Tried several versions of this ROM (Cube, no Cube and lite) and in everyone the same thing happens: It keep changing from "GPS Antenna found" "GPS Antenna nof found" every 3 seconds.
I think I gonna try one WM6.0 ROM to see if it works. I'll try Sleuth 1.2 first, than Confused Stu's Windows Vista 1.3 Cooked Rom.
Thanks
Try 6.0 NOT 6.1
Hi everyone,
This is my first post here and I would like to share my experience with the WM6.1 update and Destinator. I had been using an Asus n30 and for that to work I had to install Destinator 6.1.1 otherwise it would loose GPS etc. When I tried the same 6.1.1 update on my Kaiser (Vodafone version) with WM6.0 it worked basically but when I drove at higher speeds above 140-160 km/h (here in Germany this is quite a normal speed on the highway) the display would freeze and stop updating and I would no longer get voice instructions from Destinator.
So I had the crazy idea to update to WM6.1 to fix this...Big mistake...at first
Well as you have also found out it made things worse and I got the "GPS Antenna not Connected" issue.
I was able to solve my problem after a lot of tinkering with different radios and two ROM images one from Vodafone UK (3.28) and the last ROM posted from Dutty - which I am using now great stuff! both are WM6.1. What helped solve the problem was to revert back to Destinator 6.0 i.e. the original version from the CD-Rom that I had bought. After deleting the 6.1.1 version and installing 6.0 everything was fine no more "GPS antenna not connected" and no more freezes even when driving at over 200 km/h (130 Mph).
My guess is that the 6.1.1 update was optimized for slower devices like my n30 but the measures taken in that update that made slower PDAs work with WM3 SE were counter productive under a more modern OS like WM6.x
Even though this took me 3 days and a lot of head scratching to figure out I am very happy I did go through this process. Now thanks to this great community I have learned to flash Hard SPLs, change my ROMs as I please and as a result I have a much more powerful Kaiser . All of this despite what the lady at the Vodafone hotline told e "you can not use an update from the UK...or from HTC" ha ha .
I hope this may help some of the other users who have destinator 6 trouble.
Cheers

Kaiser Problems
i have an htc 8900 series(its called the ATT tilt in the States, i think its called the Kaiser everywhere else) and i'm having problems with WM6 and desitnator 6. i installed it as instructed and when i try to open the program it seems like it tries to open it, but nothing happens and i get taken back to the today screen. i've even uninstalled the program and sent all the installation files from my ASUS 696 via bluetooth to my phone's card, but that didn't work either. Dest 6 works perfectly on the ASUS.
On my phone, GPS settings are Program port Com4, GPS hardware port (none), baud rate 4800. And the phone will not let me change the baud rate or the hardward port. It doesnt' save my changes. ANy help is appreciated.
Thanks
I have WM 6.1 Pro and tomtom navigator 6. I want to ask that is there any way i can make my built-in gps search faster for the satteline beside using quickgps? thank you
What exact ROM are you using? Early WM6.1 ROMs (those ported form other devices, before the official one came) had very long times to first fix (several minutes).
The current ones have normal times of about 30 seconds.
It's WM 6.1 Pro
CE OS 5.2 19214
I dont know if it is a current one or the one was ported.How do i know? i bought it as used

Is 'it' a HTC TyTN II, AT&T Tilt, Vodafone v1615, O2 XDA Stellar etc? If you bought it used, the previous owner may have changed the ROM or Radio/SPL through a process known as flashing. Does it all appear the same as whats shown in your manual for the device (or if you don't have the hardcopy, what is shown on the downloadable manual from the device provider)?
Check out the XDA-wiki pages if you're new to your device, it'll answer lots of questions you may otherwise be tempted to ask here needlessly. Newer WM 6.1 versions of HTC TyTN II ROMs (including the very latest UK released World Wide English - WWE one) have terrible GPS times to get a satellite lock when compared to the original WM 6.0 ROMs so if GPS functioning is important, for the mean-time until the ROM is fixed, you may want to have it reverted to an older ROM that works faster.
I never used to have problems then I sent my phone back for repair and they updated me to WM 6.1 which was the start of my GPS problems.
Anyway I've just set the external GPS to 9600 as suggest by CHfish and hey presto back to a fast fix. Don't set anything else on the external GPS as this can really bugger up your internal GPS.
Looking for the upgrade for my TYTN ii to WM6.1 but on the HTC site it says
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device"
It's currently running
WM6 pro
CE OS 5.2.1620 (build 18125.0.4.2)
My ROM Version is 1.81.707.0
ROM date 09/05/07
Radio Version 1.27.12.11
I think it is an Asian import as it had Mapking on it originally
Any help greatly appreciated
Yeh i get this message also, and my TYTN is unbranded and unlocked direct from HTC.
It is annoying as how can this be the case?

Found the correct upgrade for my version of TYTN 2
Hi,
If anyone was having the same problem upgrading to WM6.1 for the unbranded Asian version of the HTC.
I found the correct upgrade, just goto HTC.com and choose country of origin (top righthand corner) to Singapore and then follow link to software download section to find upgrade.
Only negative so far is camera takes photos but i cannot see anything in the viewfinder.....time to scout around the forums again.
Cheers Tony
why not flash to a custom rom like i and hundreds more on this forum have done?
I have an AT&T Tilt, Imported, considering AT&T aren't even in Australia i don't think.
I'm running the HyperDragon III Jade+Manila 2D rom on my device, which is a WM6.1 rom and my device could not be going any better. everything is very fast and smooth.
i also got the Omnia Direct 3D Drivers. Duke Nukem 3d runs @ absolute minimum of 16fps if there's lots of explosions and stuff... 35 - 40fps normally.
The TyTn II is an incredible phone with unlimited potential at the moment.
Did you select the file "HTC TyTN II - Windows Mobile® 6.1 Professional Upgrade"? This worked for me. After having installed WM 6.1, when I try to download the other file "HTC TyTN II - Operating System [ROM] Update", I also get the message "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
Problems changing OS to wm6.1 o english
TYTYN II changing OS wm6.1 to english
Today I tried to change my tytyn ii language from Norwegian to english. In order to do that I used first flashing with spl 3.29. TyTYN-2 flashed well and then started loading kaiser duttys WM6.1 english, after loading almost 50% it stopped doing giving message communication errors. I tried several times after restoring connection, but it stopped everytime at 0% loading, giving the message incorrect communication. Active sync does not work any more, only usb.
The mobile screen is showing three colours with words at the right corner RUUNBH
andat the left KAIS130, SPL-3.29.0000
CPLD-8
Please help me, what steps should I take
Thanks for your attention.
Regards
Asim
It is a version problem!
Guys,
It is the version which could be the problem. Mine is 1.81 version with 1.27 radio version. If you find the kaiser rom updates page on this portal, you will see that wm6.1 is available for verison 3. something not for 1.8... Although I will give a go with the rom update I have downloaded from somewhere else
cheers
Hello guys;
I am trying to connect my Xperia and TomTom Home together in order to buy(!)/download/install new maps+updates and use Map Share.
Unfurtunately, I did not have any luck yet: TT-Home keeps waiting for connection and does not recognize any TomTom device.
Could someone point me to the right direction?
Do I need some special Home version (mine is 2.4 from the tomtom's website)?
Does TT need to be installed in some special way (mine is the very latest 7.910, installed as cab from the card's 2577 folder to main memory)?
...thanks in advance!
Home?
You don't need Tom Tom Home. When you startup TomTom on your phone and there is no map it will automatically ask you to download a "city" map to test the features or buy a map. At least that happened on mine
I haven't managed to get tomtom home 2.* to work either, but tomtom 1.6 works fine, you can download that from the tomtom home page

You can download 1 free city map but it won't let you buy any more - message states that this is not available in your region (yet)

no, I definitively need it. I want to buy/download/use/update big maps and also use Map Share. It is impossible without TomTom Home.

Thanks a lot but I think that TomTom HOME 1.6 for NAVIGATOR 6 only (and does not support Map Share), and I'm trying NAVIGATOR 7 which is only supported by 2.4.
HTC owners with pre-installed TomTom 7 are able to use it with TomTom Home -- I want it too! Therefore I'm asking if someone already got this connection.
anyone?...
or nobody has TTHome + TT7 running?..
For me it doesnt work too.
I have the 7.4 something version running and Tom Tom Home dont recognize it..
How were you able top use the 7.9 Version of Tom Tom on your X1 ?
When I try to install it a message shows up that my device is not compatible or something...
I don;t know if it may help, but I have a touch diamond (and soon getting the x1) but tt home worked for me. Have you tried to hook up your device as diskdrive rather than in active sync mode? It worked for me that way with tt home
hi, I had tomtom home 2.6 detecting x1 ok and installing mapshare updates. but since Ive flashed to the uk r3a rom, tomtom home cannot detect any device "No device connected".
Ive tried changing the usb to pc settings.
I notice in system, settings, device information , my memory card id and card version only has little squares instead of a number or whatever is should be?
Ive flashed to touch-it v9 (r3a) and still no device connected.
wonder if anyone has tomtom home 2.3 or 6 and x1 wth r3a rom working ok ?
TIA.
I've got the same problem after flashing r3aa
Same here (R3AA013).
Somebody a solution?
I´m fishing up this thread to see if anyone has come up with a solution/can give me an idea where to continue searching for an answer. As previous posters it worked perfectly with TTN7 and TTHome2.7 (yes a legit bought version) but since I´ve flashed the latest official firmware from SonyEricsson and TTH won´t detect my device. The X1 is not hardspl as it seems that r3a firmware is the problem.
Any ideas since TTH unfortunately wont update TTMobile of a memorycard it has to detect the phone. I´ve tried all setting regarding connection I can find both on the phone and on the PC, even tried XP, Vista & W7.
I´m reluctant to downgrade the rom back as I fins the r3a to be a lot quicker but if that is what it takes...
All help greatly appreciated.
annoyance.
I think its a deliberate move by TomTom as they want TomTom 7 to be exclusive to certain phones. What their reasoning is I dont know, but as stated previously, TOMTOM home 1.6 although more primitive does seem work with the tomtom 7 software. you can download updates and install stuff like new voices and maps, but I dont think it has mapsharing.
This exclusivity BS has been annoying me and even though I paid for the maps I am thinking of changing my GPS software to Garmin or something.

That should not be the case as my version of TT7 is bought separately on DVD and as stated on the package "Requirements: Any PocketPC running Windows Mobile 5 or above". I have not downloaded any of the hacked versions laying around.
Well if its offical then maybe the tomtom customer support can help you. ive just looked at the aussie site and all they appear to be doing there is providing software and support for the iphone. no mention of winmo at all.
I decided to downgrade the Xperia ROM to R2A and live with it, TT Home is working again.
Btw here´s a link to the swedish tomtomstore selling the app and the phones it works with:
http://www.tomtom.com/products/section.php?ID=898&Section=709&Lid=18&Category=2
What are the differences between r2a and r3a
so it seems to me, that the diference between the old rom and the new is, that there is a change in the rom that says tthome that the x1 is the kovsky.
so has anyone an idea, where the information of the tpye of the experia is stored on the rom r2a and what has changed that r3a doesn work with tomtom home (i have a legal sd card, that does not work with my phone because it says incompatible device. i just copied all data form the sd card to another card without the tt7 software. then i downloaded an tt7 software and installed it on my x1, since i have a legal one an the support din't help me with a patch and tomtom din't give me my money back)
today i 've seen that x1 is now on the list, so i would be glad if someone can help me to run my tomtom software with the newest rom, since tomtom support doesn'T help me)
hi to evryone
if somebody needs the latest tomtom 7 navi for xperia....
just post me....i got it with key;o)
