Sorry if this has been posted, i have checked but found nothing.
I run Navigator 5 on my XDA2i (i know 6 is out but im happy with 5, limited knowledge......am blonde lol)
However, for some reason today when i came to start TomTom, it just freezes up altogether and i have to soft reset (see blondes do listen lol) to get my phone working again.
Any ideas whats caused this and if so any ideas on how to fix it? In plain language please.
Sorry to bother everyone with a silly question but i drive loads and TomToms my life
Hi Cheryl
This is a common problem for TomTom. Whenever you r using TomTom and if someone will try to call u or send u a txt message then mostly ur device will get hanged. That is the major issue in the fixation of the version 6 (Look in TickMark 4) http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=260&Category=2&Lid=1
I am also using TomTom 5.2, even though tried version 6 but the reason of unliking was I can not turn the device horizontally as I am using 5.2 horizontally in my car and I like this view, overall version 6 is not bad.
SOLUTION:
Its hard to advice but prior to start the TomTom put your device on "Flight Mode" means disable ur network coverage and then doesn't matter how long u travel TomTom is not gonna get stuck, but u might missed lots of calls, anyway personally I think during driving specially on a motorway, incoming txt & calls can be highly hazardous.
GoodLuck

I just got my Moto s9's and the sound is great. One problem i have though is that i hear a LOT of static when the sound is high. How can i fix this? Second thing is what are the best registry edits combos that work for the loudest and clearest sound for listening to audio and talking through them?
I also realized that when i press the right button, it pops up the speech recognition thing and i want it to pop up voice command, is it possible? Thanks a lot.
edit: there is also a lot of skipping.
????
I here that sound too.......now that you said something I'm not crazy....I wish there is a fix .....my S9 are awsome
skipping chang the bit pool to a lower setting...
Great, thank you. now i have another problem, i can't get it to reconnect after it's idle! the only thing that works is the voice thingy and that's it. no music, no calls, no nothing. this happened after i installed the a2dp fix.
Nvm, i got the skipping worked (thanks mike!) now i have the static sound on my TIlt and it's horrible, on my 8525 it's PERFECT. i also can't get voice command to come on instead of the voice recognition thingy. so any help would be great, thanks.
also, i can't get them to work on my pc, i have the widcomm drivers but they would connect and then disconnect, any ideas?
hello
ok.....the noise that you get from the headset can be fixed try to 1) delete your H9's from device and repair them to your phone...pretend you just got them and your pairing them for the first time...see if that works....2) uninstall your AD2P fix......sometimes putting a fix cab or a zip file and unzipping it and applying it to your phone screws up yor phone's ability to run properly 3) how long ago did you get your H9's.....if you can return them or exchange them do so.
just a thought ....I put many rom's on my phone and they are awsome..BUT.....I've come to a understanding ...I had to replace my tilt once because I THINK it couldn't take the flashing.....You know what I did .....everything looks the same, like I flashed my rom ...but I didn't, all I installed we're cab file NO FLASHING OF ROM and my phone has run fine since then...I mean everything.....I'm not saying not to change your rom ...you can, but everything now latey, things come in cab format.....also uninstall and reinstall voice command.....then soft reset....my voice command over rides voice dial .........private msg me and if you want we can talk over these phone problems by e-mail or live person to person over our cell phones that's is fine with me
peace

Great, thanks a lot. I got the s9's a few days ago and love them. I'm trying to get voice command now to work on them through the mic but i can't for some reason. I also want them to work on my PC and have the widcomm stack, any ideas on that? If you have AIM, then i can talk there or msn or yahoo. If none, email's fine.
For some reason, every time i get a phone call or make a phone call TomTom opens up. Its kind of annoying. It launches whenever im on a call and starts getting my location, satellites,..etc. Ive been searching around but cant seem time find a solution and i don't know too much about editing the registry on my Tilt. Any solutions or registry tweaks anyone know about that could fix this problem i have??

i would say, you are not clOsing tomtom properly
that's a feature of tomtom to come back to screen after making a call, to let you talk and navigate at once.
make sure you end tomtom by exit button in program menu.
hope this helps
HI all,
I have setup MS Voice command on my Fuze to announce the name or phone number of the person calling on in coming calls. On my Tilt, it would announce the name either thru the speaker or my BT headset. With the Fuze, it will not. Is anyone else having this problem.
Also, with my Tilt, my ring tones would play thru my BT Headset and it will not on the Fuze. I don't know if this are related. I am using the BT headset on both.
Thanks
billf.
Yes, I'm having this same problem, and it is making me consider returning my Fuze and sticking with my tilt. Unless HTC or someone comes up with a fix within the next 2 weeks, my Fuze is going back. The only other bug I have noticed is that auto-correct does NOT work for the keyboard. It's supposed to automatically add in apostrophes for words, such as "can't, don't, won't" etc. Also, the word suggestion never shows up when I type, like it did on my Tilt. Of course it gives you suggestions with T9 turned on, but that's not the same as word suggestion. It would provide suggestions based on previous typing habits, and even predict entire phrases it thought I was going to type. Anyway....if someone figures out how to fix these problems, please let me know ASAP! Thanks.
I just noticed this tread. I too am having the same problem with it not announcing. My Tilt did it just fine and I have the Fuze VC set up exactly the same way as my Tilt, but all I get is my ringtone and no announcement.
Check your settings. I think you have to announce notifications using bluetooth hands free if available. and uncheck "only durning free time"
I think that may work.

That is the way I have it set up. No go. What is weird is that my ring tone plays over the bluetooth headset, but the computer generated voice doesn't speak.
it has to be a bad version or something.
also..last night i tried to install the cab i've used for over a year on top of the at&t version thinking it would overwrite the necessary files. no go. it corrupted the phone and had to hard reset to fix.

I'm glad that you decided to be a "guinea pig!" Because I was going to try this today! I was going to re-install the .CAB that came from my Tilt. But I'm glad to see if that doesn't work. In order to find a solution, do you think I should call AT&T or HTC? Which one would give me the solution? Because I only have 25 days left before my Fuze is non-returnable.
Hmm I never tried it yet on the fuze with my BT. I'll try it and report back.
Ok crap. Yeah. It doesnt "voice" announce. I never noticed it because I can dial from headset and even number dial from headset and it'll work. I can hear it repeating the number back.
BUT its not like its not working... If I remove the announce incommming calls, it makes my phone ring, but in my earpiece I hear a tone to tell me I have a phonecall. When I enable announce incomming calls, my phone vibrates and I hear my ringtone in my ear, and faintly I can hear that "tone" I heard before. So it sounds like the voice side of things isnt working.
Ok tried one last thing before my BT headset died. Doh!
When it died, my phone announced the caller. So it does work. Its just not working from the BT headset, you hear a bell sound or something.
Also, I just noticed my cars BT doesn't show battery of the phone. When my Tilt was on the car BT, it would show the battery remaining.
MS Voice Command
Check out the MS Voice Command guide on WinMo-Experts. There might be an answer to your problems in there.

Thanks for the link. I dont think it solved anything we're getting. Since Fuze has it built in, I dont think we can overwrite the files.

Guess I didn't notice, but dose not work for me either. I do enjoy that on the Tilt, but I more like the Tilt for the message and email voice notification.

PS. I'm simply not keeping the Fuze. I'll stick with my Tilt and TF2. love the whole setup and the speed of the touchflo usingHyperDragon Raphael
Signal is average compaired to my Tilt, when testing out T-Mobile connection. On 3G, I'm constantly around 2 bars(but it spurts to full so I know its working) So I think Hawaii is still bad with 3G is some areas.
I use VC ALOT. So I'm amazed I never noticed this issue where it wont say the caller in my ear.
I'm not sure if I'll keep the phone/drop ATT/both.
Please someone fix this! I dunno if it helps, but all you hear is a bell sound in the background of your normal phone ringtone. I know thats from the MSVC. The only thing not working is the announcement of whos calling. I think everything else is working. I can voice dial,recieve calender announcements and appoinments,etc from my BT headset.
Oh, not just BT headset. It won't announce it from the phone either.
I even did a "bloat free" installation.
the fix is on pdaphonehome.com i had the same problem with my sprint touch pro. weird since the diamond doesn't have this problem. you have to edit the registry to use the wav file instead of the default. only side effect with the fix is the phone will ring once and VC will announce the rest of the duration.

Eww,junk fix. I'll check it out tho. While not a problem when I have my headset, it would be if i had my phone sitting on a table.
Reg hack
I copied this from pdaphonehome.com....kuddos to the person that figured this
out. Kind of a hacky way to get it to work though. Perhaps the brains around
here can figure it out.
--------------------------------paste-------------------------------
This isn't a complete solution - but it's an improvement.
With this fix - the ring tone will play for a second and then be cut off by the call announcement. The announcement will be at a lower volume. The announcement will repeat - the ring tone will not be played again.
NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD ATTEMPT THIS FIX ONLY IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE IN UPDATING YOUR REGISTRY.
Change the following registry keys:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category
change from VoiceCommand1 to Ring
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Script
change from as5p to v0p (that's v-zero-p) - for vibrate & ring, or p (ring only)
The above fix seems to get the announcements reliably, and doesn't break the set vibrate/set ringer features in the TF3D interface.
Hopefully we can find a better solution - that will restore the full functionality of Voice Command incoming call announcements - and not need this hack.
Another option is to manually overwrite the ringtone file name:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Sound
change to \Application Data\Volatile\TTSCallerID.wav
This fix replaces the ringtone with the call announcement - and at full volume.
BUT this solution has several problems, including breaking the set vibrate/set ringer feature in TF3D.
From reading that, if I DON'T use the TF3D ring/vibrate, but use the windows mobile one, I should be fine by doing the second hack listed above? I think I could live with that as I eventually will kill the TF3D just so I can get the calender of my Pocket Informant to show instead. Only thing I like was the Weather and clock of the TF3D anyways and ATT crippled the clock by removing the animation.
Doe anybody know how to do the 2nd option? Not sure if I'm supposed to delete the whole registry line or somehow add to that line?
My X1 has had problems with it's Bluetooth cutting out during calls ever since I got it. Even after a replacement phone and the new R3A firmware the problem persists. So now I am going the custom route...
Can anyone recommend to me a custom ROM for the X1 that has had improvements to the Bluetooth implementation?

Never heard any cook do BT differently exept base on differenr WM built. I do patch the driver w/ HD one such that Cyberon VC over BT works. I never had bt cutting out during call but sometime AFTER the call (and it's a well known issue to all HTC device)
Perhaps it is worth to try other radio (you don't have to change rom, just update radio). I'm really not sure, but radio probably contains Bluetooth drivers too. Is that right?

When flashing generic ROM you flash a corresponding radio (R3A with 1.14, R2A with 1.11 or 1.10). So this is probably no solution, but always worth a shot.
Diferent RADIOs are NOT the solution (I tried more than five radios).
I have tried more than 30 diferent ROMs in spanish and english, with WM6.1 and WM6.5, and no one go right with the Bluetooth.
I call Sony Ericson and they said that is normal because to save energy. It´s my first phones that disconect the bluetooth.
I've had all kinds of BT problems.
It usually turns of by itself, even in the middle of a call. (not so fun in the car, driving)
An I've also tried different ROM's and radios, no better.
BT is not very good on X1 I'm afraid... : (

Would you say that this problem affects all Windows Mobile devices? For example, if I get an HTC Touch Pro 2 am I going to have the same issues?
I have no idea really, I only have the Xperia.
Any htc owners here ?

A friend and me, we both have the same problem as described by jhbodle since approx 6 months back.
During almost every call the sound is transferred back to the phone (as if I would have shut down the headset).
The weird thing is that bluetooth is still on and the headset is still treated as if it would be connected, meaning that I can still end the call by pressing the call button on the headset.
I can get the sound back to the headset (during the conversation) in two ways:
By choosing "Turn hands-free off" and then "Turn hands-free on" from the phone, or by shutting down the headset and then starting it again.
We have narrowed it down to that this happens whenever the phone disconnects from dataconnection (which seems to happen from time to time when using Activesync with Push - it disconnects and then directly reconnects). It does not matter if the phone is in 3G or GSM mode.
Have any of you noticed any similar problems during calls?
We are using the Swedish Telenor network. It might be possible that they have changed something that triggers the dataconnection to reset, and you on other networks are not beeing disconnected and therefore have not noticed this issue?
Maybe most of you are not using your dataconnections that heavely?
Those who are - could you test to disconnect the dataconnection while in call with TB headset..?
My friend have kept his phone with stock ROMs - he have had this problem with 3 or more different headsets.
I am flashoholic and have tried every ROM release from the top five cookers since the Hard SPL release for the Xperia. I have had the phone replaced once for a month ago - I have had this problem with both phones.
Hope you can help me to narrow this problem down even more, and most of all, I would like to know if we are alone with this problem..?
I have searched the forum for similar problems, but only found this one, so I did not want to create a new thread even if I it should be in the "General" category...
Oops... apparently I did not search enough - i have now found some other threads discussing this issue, but without any solutions.
I know that the most common BT issue for everybody is the BT deactivating itself after a call (I have had this from time to time aswell -especially after I have installed the MSVC software).
I don't want to start cross linking and dubbel posting, so I will wait and see if anybody has something to add to my previous post over here...
Would be nice to know if others, having this issue, can also link this to the dataconnection disconnecting.
How long are you talking on the phone for? I don't talk on mine for more than a few minutes, but occasionally I do get the 30+ minute calls that I have to deal with and I've never had blue tooth just shut off for no apparent reason.
For both me and a friend of mine, this happens during most calls regardless of the call duration (my calls usually take between 30sec and 10 minutes).
Sometimes, when I know that the conversation will take time, I reroute the sound back to the headset, but the same thing can happen again during the same call.
As I said, for me this happens whenever dataconnection disconnects on the phone.
Are you using dataconnection alot? Could you please try to disconnect the dataconnection during a call?
thanks
