Hi,
I have an issue with something that appeared I think after I clicked (out of curiosity) on the "Bluetooth Explorer" program...
This did create a kind of storage card folder called "Bluetooth" and since then (I'm 90% sure this is the triggering event), TomTom 6 does not find the maps any more?
Any one knows how I could get rid of the "Bluetooth" storage card thing and allow tomtom to "see" my regular storage card again?
Thanks in advance for any help,
Thanks for asking this question - I was having a similar problem with TomTom 6.1 and I hadn't made this connection. TomTom 6.0 was working fine, but 6.1 couldn't see maps.
You just go into the Bluetooth settings and on the tab labelled FTP there is a tick box for 'Enable Bluetooth Explorer' - if you untick this TomTom will work (at least mine did)
And thanks for answering it
That did the trick for me too. Problem solved.
Thanks again !

Hallo,
I recently bought TomTom navigator 5. apart of the fact that v5 didn't install in WM5 and I had to wait for release 5.2, now I have this big problem: the program gets stuck trying to load the maps.
I tried copying the maps manually to the SD card. if I unplug the SD, tomtom complains that there are no maps and closes. if I plug again the SD, the program gets stuck and I can't do anything else (it freezes the whole device)
any clue?
thanks
you need 5.21 update (wm5 most compliant).
you can download it from tomtom.com
BR
I already have 5.21, it was a typo...
the problem is that it gets stuck when loading maps from the SD card...
it otherwise loads doesn't find the maps, and closes. but the program IS correctly installed...
thanks
m8...its happened to my sometimes on my exec that I had to uninstall via activ sync and reinstall again to correct...make sure you also have an empty folder named tomtom on the root of the sd and another on the root of the poquet pc and be sure that the map you have is correct for tomtom 5 .
BR
I tried, and it doesn't work (sigh sigh)
Also, I tried changing the SD card (you never know) but nothing changed.
all folders are present, though I had to create the one in the SD card.
still freezes *sigh*
also, tomtom help doesn't help at all, and I hate spending money for a non working software :evil:
m8...what version windows are you running....wm5 or 2003?
another thing ...I got stuck like that once after already having installed twice on two other xda2s's running the exact latest rom from 02... that time i shortcuted it by not installing any voices insted i put the voices folder on the card and put voices in there....that gave me this problem also.....installed a couple of voices from the disc on to the xda memory and voila its working like a charm.
BR
I'm running wm5, standard (no tuma-ivan-etc)
I'll try as you suggested this evening, I hope to solve it
thanks for your help!!
TomTom is one of the crappiest, buggiest piece of commercial software I've seen in a long time. Once you get it up and running it's usually OK for a month or two, but it generally soils its underwear after a short time and needs a reinstall.
I mean, 5.21, how long as 5 been out? 21 minor revs since then? Do they actually test their software, or just ship it and wait for the users to do it for them? I work in the industry and I am far from impressed with them. Especially given what it costs.
Any how, as I said, periodically you need to completely clean it out. Remove all folders. Delete your map directory on the SD card and copy over the original copy of the map you purchased. Delete all of the program directories it makes. I found as many as 6 or 7 directories on my storage card where it's scatterbrain configuration liked to hide data. Once I had to completely cull it from the registry to get it going, all keys with "navigator" and "tomtom" were suspect. Beware tho, "navigator" might be in there through other applications.
Oh, another thing to check...sometimes it gets sadomasicistic and decides to set a config file or two as read only. One day it's working, the next it fails to remember settings changes. You can fix that one without a reinstall if you can figure out which file it is (generally the map config file).
However, despite all this, sometimes you need to hard-reset to get it going again.
thanks to all, but I think I found a good solution.
I brought back the software to the vendor and changed it with navigator pn. it works perfectly
it's more of a workaround than a solution, but hey - at least I gave my money to a company that deserves it.
thanks destinator!
I upgraded to wm6 vanilla
now, whenever I try to point outlook attachment to sd card it tells me "no unlocked storage card detectet"
I have never encrypt files
there is space
camera is able to write to sd-micro
did you ever et a reply regarding this? I have the same thing now
bhayani
remove card and reboot phone... (just a thought)
maybe make sure that the bluetooth explorer is turned off...it's in the comm manager settings for bluetooth. if it's activated it sometimes creates a separate "bluetooth folder" that could cause some memory card detection problems.
Thank you Monkey Knight
Switching of Bluetooth explorer in the Bluetooth settings did the trick!
My TYTN II has been rendered half-working for a second time. Both times this happened after Tom Tom was installed.
I have 4 GB SD Card. I use TomTom by copying all files/directories from the TomTom provided MicroSD card to the root of my 4 GB SD card. There are also other directories ( i.e Program Files ) in the root of the SD card.
The first time it broke , I simply run the TomTom Update function from within TomTom. It downloaded an update , installed it and then broke the device/Windows Media installation.
When it “brakes” the Windows Media 6 installation , it renders the mobile OS half working. The buttons on the side - TurnOff/On and Camera buttons - stop working. The device itself becomes very slows – it takes 2 secs to go into Programs. The camera application starts but then nothing happens when you tap the on-screen functions /buttons. , The device will not rotate the screen when using the external keyboard , TomTom stops starting at all.
The second time TomTom broke my device was after simply starting TomTom – it hung and after a soft reset my device was left in the same state.
Device:
HTC TYTN II Kaiser / Vario III
ROM ver 1.56.110.4
Windows Mobile 6
TomTom ver 6.010.
try intsalling tomtom 6.030 which can be found in the kaiser wiki. I have that installed on my kaiser and have no problems, then just copy the maps you want over to your storage card.
good luck.

I am not sure where I can get the latest version from ! I don't have any TomTom versions on my Kaiser CD and I didn't find any updates downloads on tomtom.com. Tomtom Home is saying may device doesn't need updates.
The only thing i can re-try is to reinstall the whole device and then run update from within TomTom but then this broke the device once already ..
Tom Tom,

Try using a torrent or p2p... Im running a recent copy without a problem, make sure its a recent build, also i found works better if you assign the gps the microsoft bluetooth gps serial port and reshared to tomtom with that
Don't install from a cab file. Download TTN 6.020 from here
http://rapidshare.com/files/91282009/TTN_6.02.7910.zip.html
copy to your device and run TomTom from there.
This is also the only ver. that doesn't have voice problems on my device.

I will try although I have always been wary of running exes from the internet on my Windows Box be it mobile or not.
Anyway , it turns out the problem is not specifically within TomTom 6.010 but has to do with the fact that I am running another app , a dictionary, besides TomTom. After uninstalling the the App , the device works fine.
I am very angry with TomTom support though , whose response was , as expected - "TomTom works on the Manufacturer provided 1 GB SD card - use it from there. If you have problems call HTC" .
[email protected] Fflippers TOMTOM , IF YOU MAKE SOFTWARE FOR PDA DON'T ASSUME THE MICROSD CARD WILL HOLD ONLY YOUR STUPID TOMTOM SOFTWARE and NOT OTHER SOFTWARE. MoNKEYS !
Hi all,
I am looking for a a way to browse the contents of my Kaiser (file explorer) through a USB connection to my PC WITHOUT having to install ActiveSync. Is it even possible?
I've searched the forum, browsed the stickies but I can't seem to find an answer.

Nope, as far as I am aware, activesync is needed.
If you do not have the disk, you can download the software here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/activesync45.mspx
There are a couple of apps that can do this. I think one of them might be called "card export", but don't hold me to it...
yes, there is.
you can use wm5torage v1.8, but you need to make some trials with Menu--> troubleshooting options before activiate wm5storage.
On success you will browse your SD card on your PC.
see attachments
@chrisrc1985: I'm not that hopeless of a n00b Thanks for the activesync download link, but I definitely do not want to install it on my very public PC at work!
@dancj: Card Export is what I'm looking for, only problem is, it's not freeware
@dool2002: Cool, I'll give wm5torage a try but it looks like it's very iffy and not very stable.
Anyway, thanks for your replies guys; appreciate it!
WM5torage usually doesn't work on the Kaiser. CardExport does. But remember this only lets you browse the storage card and not the internal phone memory.
Another option is to use Mocha FTP server, and to browse your phone through the network with an FTP client. This allows to view the phone memory as well. However it would only be over wifi/bluetooth for you, as USB still requires ActiveSync to be installed to add the USB network drivers.
Thanks for the heads up about WM5torage, guess I won't bother trying to fiddle with it...
As for CardExport, I tried the evaluation version and it is exactly what I need! Now the only thing left to do is find a freeware that does the same...
WM5torage works with me
I used wm5torage few times with Kaiser, it works fine with me when I select both disables from troubleshooting menu. I copy around 300 meg with it without any mentioned problems.
If you guys know a bug in it, please let me know.
Well I installed WM5torage to try it out (and did a soft reset after the install). When I clic on the disables in the troubleshoot menu, nothing happens, I mean how do I know that the actual options have been disabled? And how do I re-enable them?!
Anyways, when I activate it and plug my phone in, my PC detects a new storage device called WM5torag (without the 'e'), installs drivers for it, then... nothing! It doesn't appear in my windows explorer.
If it's of any relevance, I am running my Kaiser under the HTC WM6.1 official ROM.

Many people are having problems with it, and the only semi-working version actually requires some files ripped from CardExport. It seems it sometimes works on certain ROMs, but like many others (mainly under WM6.1 I think) I have no luck with my configuration. I'm getting the common explorer freeze with subsequent "please insert a disk in drive X:" message when trying to access the drive, and the Kaiser freezes most of the time as well. Sometimes the drive doesn't even appear on the PC.
WM5torage is worth trying once, if it works for you then you're lucky, if not then don't bother getting mad trying to get it to work as it's very unlikely it will.

"Personal Edition only works over ActiveSync (tethered or via Bluetooth)."
Try nueMassStorage.... it makes your device USB easy to install apps without active sync... but it also gives you the choice to use Active sync if you want to....
http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueMassStorage.aspx
And it is free and reliable! Using it on my mogul 6800...
It works the same way as WM5torage, so same has the same problems on the Kaiser, or even worse.
Hi,
I'm trying to solve this problem for a week...
My father is using Elf, another ppc with WM6.1 - there is the funny thing:
in application (settings) USB to PC -
In my Kaiser it is asking for ActiveSync Connection or Internet Sharing.
In father's PDA it is asking for ActiveSync, Inernet Sharing and USB DRIVE.
Does anybody know something about it? I would like to have also three variations of connection i that dialog.
Is it a different version of Usb to PC service?
Thanx a lot!
btw: sorry for my bad english.
Hi,
I have just purchased the HTC TD2 from Dubai airport on my way to work. I'm still using the stock wm6.1 ROM. I have installed Garmin GMXT on to the TD2 but can not get the internal GPS to be located, is there a trick to it?
FYI I have been using an O2 Atom Life for many years now and GMXT was working on that ok with external BT receiver. I have the SW.UNL file on my device but how to make it work?
Any advise on the best ROM to upgrade to on this site?
Thanx and regards
I had to set up gps software manually. I use this settings for Smartmaps: Com port 4 and baud rate 4800.
Thanx PRDIC,
Where did you set those Com ports? I see in the Settings/system there is a icon for External GPS and that has tabs for "Programs" and another for "Hardware" is this anything to do with hte COM port used by the internal GPS Reciever?
The Garmin GMXT software does not allow the user to define the com ports unless they are set in the "External GPS" application that I mentioned above. I think it should be automatic connection but I'm not seeing the internal GPS. If i use my BT Reciever then i can detect it as BT reciever and connect.
well, it look like a your GMXT (Garmin Mobile XT) didn't register or ativate correctly. please try to ativate using code come with a package when you brought GMXT. if GMXT is not register. it will not show the internal GPS hardware port (useualy port-4).
with un-registered GMXT, it will show only "External GPS" (bluetooth)or "intermideate GPS" which it is a software base between real hardware.
Hope my explained could help. moreover, GMXT atvivate have many process step. just becareful when do it.
sorry for my english :-[
I've never used garmin software, so I can't help you with this

Thanx everyone,
I fixed the problem, it was due to a corupted file which occured when i installed the VOIP activation CAB for VOIP calling. The fix was found here and quoted below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402228&page=8
I had the same issue after installing the VOIP CAB on my Touch HD my GPS stopped completely (no GPS found) and found a fix for it in the orig. Thread about the VOIP CAB, where you have to rename a file and reset so it gets fresh created.
After this my GPS was running again.
The solution was "To solve the problem just rename file /windows/dnsapi.dll to for example dnsapi.dll_bck and make soft reset or turn off and on your device.
There will be created a new file with the same name and you can delete the old renamed one. Then the GPS working properly as well as VoIP.
