I installed Garmin XT on my Kaiser to try it out, got it to work but did not like it, I removed it but now every time I soft reset or restart the phone it asks me if I want to install Garmin XT, I have removed everything I can think of from the phone memory and from the storage card, but it still asks me, there is nothing in the startup folder I can think of that is doing this, can anyone give me a clue to what I can do to stop this pop up ?
Thanks in Advance
sorry about the double post please remove this (Firefox Crashed or so I thought)
Wow, that's a pretty ****ty thing for garmin to implement. That would annoy the **** out of me, I think I would give them a call and let them know how I feel about that. Anyways, try searching the registry for garmin keys, see if you can find anything.

After you install/uninstall Garmin Mobile XT, make sure you delete the 2577 folder. this folder contain the autorun.exe that will prompt you each time after soft reset or when you reinsert your SD card.

Problem solved thank you my friend
Just a blip, I spoke with a Garmin PDA specialist at CES last week and they will be making a version of the program that will run on a Kaiser WITHOUT needing a memory card, like the other mapping progs, finally! He said fairly soon, next few weeks/months.

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!
This is the second time this has happened and I cant figure it out. I was running the 2.17 rom the first time. Then I now have Shoguns new beta rom and same thing has happened. I cant text or anything including mms, but that has never worked since I got this phone. When you try to open it nothing happens at all, like it ignores you or something. Other than that and the bluetooth not working anymore its all good.
Any ideas before doing another hard reset?

what all apps have you installed since installing the roms?
I installed all the apps on the ext rom installer but this happened before those were installed. The only programs I can think of that are the same is Opera, Total Commander, and tcpmp. If it helps any I was messing around with Omap trying to see if I could squeeze out a few more mhz and I froze it up. Come to think of it I cant soft reset unless the storage card is removed or else it will freeze on the omap program. Anyways I dont see how the entire messenging program stopped working. Any way this could be related?
DAVE
Just in case anybody cares about this thread I found out some strange info. With the storage card out everything works again. Put it back in and its all messed up. Also I cannot boot it up with the card in the phone anymore it hangs on the omap screen. Any way to make that screen not come up everytime? I couldve sworn it didnt used to pop up everytime I rebooted before. Card is not bad it works fine. I wonder if the program that turns the phone into a card reader has something to do with it?
Dave
Happen to me few time. Just start messanger from startup menu and it will work again.
I have had a similar problem with Messaging. Usually it works fine, but sometimes nothing will open Messaging will not open with any method, from the Today Screen item (it highlights, but never opens), the Mail buttonhas no effect, and the Start menu item has no effect. I found that deleting the Inbox.mstxxxxxx folder from the storage card would allow it to open again. Also, the phone would not see the MiniSD card, and create a "Storage Card" folder then the real storage card would be called "Storage Card 2" and that would also cause Messanger problems. This has happened in the past on this phone as well, without any custom ROMs and with multiple MiniSD cards. I took out a reg hack to show the ext ROM in the file system and it seemed to help the problem.
Just FYI this is on an 8125 with a SanDisk 1gb MiniSD card and Shoguns current public ROM and the 2.47.11 radio.
I ended up doing the hard reset anyways, but its good to know there may be a fix for this. I did see the files but they would not open and said the program was missiing or something like that. Its all good now thouugh, but thanks for the info. Im sure itll happen again.

I'm running 6.030, I took the SD card out of my old Wizard, did a direct copy to my new MiroSD (6gig :-D) did a little file tidy up and then popped it into my Kaiser. It auto ran and did its install and worked straight away. I've since done a hard reset and it installed first time again.
In TT6 I have selected NMEA GPS receiver, baud rate of 4800 and COM4.
I'm really pleased with the GPS performance, I was worried that it wouldnt work as well as my bluetooth one as that could get a signal in seconds anywhere, even indoors, but the Kaiser is not a bad match, it struggles a bit indoors, but it gets there, over all very pleased.
hmm, i must have some issues, as i took my sd out of my hermes, where it would auto run, but when plaxing it in the kaiser it wont run atall?

On the root of the SD card there should be a folder called 2577, this has the TomTom cabs
I think all the auto run does is run these, just select them in File Explore and run them manually, should work...

yep got that, click the autorun, the tt hands pop up on the screen then it just reverts back to the same screen, ie can just click autorun again?
Currently running 6.032 (8351) with UK & IE plus major roads of WE 1409 v675.1409

What about if you just run the cab's directly?
if your talking about the ttn2003.cab or ttn.cab @ 5.50M then it asks to install and the progess bar just hangs , have to soft reset the phone to get out of it.
I am running 6.010 still and it works fine using the NMEA GPS with the above settings. I think the only thing I would say is once its installed if you have any problems with getting a fix on sats hit the tomtom traffic/update button as I did this and since then it was fine getting the sat info even if it takes a little time .

that was the 1st thread i found, and thought great! downloaded installed and got "Setup Error: Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again."
like many of the other T-mobile users on that thread, the solution seemed to be to get 6.030 version installed, but that aint playing the game!!!!
goes off to bang head againt the wall!
just checked, put my memory card back in my hermes, tomtom runs fine version 6.030, put the card in the kaiser and no go?
Might be worth trying to downgrade to 6.010? as I say I am using that version perfectly fine, 6.030 gave me **** regarding my maps which i bought v6.75 maps a while back but they wont initialise with the tomtom home software so thought bugger it just install 6.010 which works on my Vario I with WM6 and its all fine.
Russ
allthough 6.030 didnt run well for you , you could actally install it?
if thats the case, i might hard reset the device and start again?
hard reset the piece of crap
still wont work???????????????????????????
Get "Installing ttn.cab" then the lttle windows timer in the centre of the screen and that it it just does bugga' all!
Sorry for the delayed response but yes i managed to install 6.030 no problems there it was just everytime i started it and it wanted to register the map no matter what i tried it would not accept the key information even via tomtom home.

Look for a folder called 2577 on your Storage Card. It probably has an autorun.inf in it. Either delete it or rename it.
Just a blip, I spoke with a Garmin PDA specialist at CES last week and they will be making a version of the program that will run on a Kaiser WITHOUT needing a memory card, like the other mapping progs, finally! He said fairly soon, next few weeks/months.
Greets,
I think someone once posted a possible solution to keep TomTom from starting up when you do a soft reset.
I have searched for that solution (including HOPING it was added to the TomTom string), but can't find it.
Does anyone know?
Thanks!
If you look on your storage card, I bet you have a folder called (IIRC) 2577.
This folder is the installation folder for TomTom and it will be run when you insert the memory card (and very likely, when you soft-reset).
If you have the folder, I suggest you rename to something different (maybe 'OLD_2577' or something like that?).
I think that will fix the problem.
yes
i've got the same problem.
i've deleted this folder and the problem is disappeared
I had this problem once.... actually after a soft reset it ran tomtom and also the installation of tomtom... very annoying....
In the end I think it came down to 2 files on the root of the memory card... one called "install.bif" and the second was called "tomtom.bif".. think these must be some sort of autorun files. as after I removed them... everything was sorted..
see if they are on your memory card...
GPS lags when trying to receive signal
When I first installed a cracked version of TOMTOM version 6.010 it worked great and receiving signal was fast. Now it takes forever to get satellite signal. Any suggestions guys? Thank you thank you

Is your QuickGPS file current? I have mine set to autoupdate when necessary, but an error could have changed that setting so it only updates manually.

I found it makes a huge difference with TomTom and Google Maps when I first turn on the HTC GPS Tool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360477&highlight=HTC+GPS+Tool
I let it go for a couple of minutes, I make sure my QuickGPS is current, and then I turn on TomTom and it works great.
