Kaiser and TomTom voice instruction cut-off issues - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

On a different thread I have been looking for a fix for a voice instruction problem where the voice 'cuts-off' before the end of the command.
I get 'After 200 yards...' but no more, when the command should be 'After 200 yards, turn left'.
So, I re-flashed my device (which was a Vodafone v1615, with Vodafone ROM) to the standard HTC ROM, and re-installed TomTom.
Same problem!
So, my question now is, how many other Kaiser users with TomTom suffer the same problem?
I'm really beginning to think this is an issue with the version of TomTom with internal GPS...
Any others have comments on this?

I have the same with my TomTom and every rom for Kaiser so I think it's the TT version. Doesn't make any difference if the voice is installed on device or microSD card.

never experienced this issue,
Do you have a legitimate copy of tom tom on your devices?

Hi,
I have the same TT voice problem: "after ..." then nothing !!!
I 've tried with Tomtom V6.00, 6.03 but I have the same problem.
My ppc phone is LG KS20 on WM6
+++ Important note: I used TT V6.00 with my old HTC S110 running on WM2003SE and I don't have this problem. But when I changed to KG KS20 (wm6), I get this probleme with the same maps, same version of tomtom (same installation: tt6ifalleni.cab). Tested with 2 maps v675.1409: FR_plus & Western_Europe -> same voice problem.
Please help !!!

I've read a couple threads where people complain about the voice not completing,and they indicated that the fix for them, if I remember correctly, was moving the voices to the main memory from the SD card.

Hi ewingr,
That was a post from me when I thought it had fixed the problem - it didn't, although it seemed to work for a while - hence the post...
Still looking for the fix!

Oh, and everything is legit - as supplied with the CD that came with the device, and the small 'town' map your area able to download for free.
Used to use a Qtek 9100 - with no problems!

All my voices are in the SD card. I tried also to put them in phone memory (/navigator/voices) and had always this problem. Voices are selected in TomTom but not completing !!!

Have now tried an older version of TomTom (6.030), and still have the same problem.
Also placed map and Navigator all in device memory, and still same problem...
What the %*!$ is going on???
How many other people are suffering this? Does no one have any other ideas I can try?

i had this problem too
i deleted these files, MapSettings.cfg, TMCCODES.DAT, TRAFFIC.DAT, TRAFFIC.INC (where u place ur map). then i reset tomtom back to default setting. and i still have same problems, then after 2 or 3 uses of tomtom in two days. Now it's back to normal. I use TT6.030.8320.
Hope this help. I thought iam the only one
TT6.01 is working perfectly for me, but i have problem recieving call while using TomTom. that's right, i switch to 6.03.

hi all. i am running TT 6.030 on my unbranded kaiser with no flaws whatsoever. the internal gps works a treat. its not the most legit copy going, anyone browsing mininova.org could find it. i have all the voices installed to the sd card, however i have never used any of the "supplied" voices. i use the john cleese voice which i also "found"

no tomtom voice problems with me either, and i also place my voice files in the sd card. as for the voice type, i use a knight rider one . you can find many more of these custom voices here
http://gps-data-team.com/pda-gps-navigation/links/index.php

Same voice cut-off problem on my At&T Tilt using TT Version 6.032 (8351)
Had to use that TT version because I could not install previous versions onto the device. That was the only version that would load.
Are any of the people that don't have the cut-off voice issues using an AT&T-branded device?

yup, i use a tilt

for me, yeah, becuz i tried everything (all the tomtom version), but make sure u backup ur original file first, then u open start tomtom, tomtom will automatically create the new files for u.

I am running TT 6.032 and having no problems at all with the John Cleese voice. I did notice there were some problems with a few other voices I tried....Sean Connery, Naughty Natalie etc in that they would be cut off as they are taking too long and the instruction has passed due to speed and position...
I really don't believe it has anything to do with your ROM version.

Same problems. TomTom Version 6.032, Map Western Europe v.675.1409. Original TyTN II. All legal. I saved the files you mentioned on my desktop. Restarted TomTom and so far it recreated the MapSettings.cfg and the traffic.inc. Not the traffic.dat or the tmccodes.dat though. Will use it tomorrow and see if it works again. Thanx for the help.

TT5 Xda2i Tom Tom Crash

i have my xda2i and tt5 installed, and it runce nicely for an undetrmined amount of time then decides to close tomtom, i can reopen it and carry on but alas it keeps doing the same.
when i start tt5 i get the hands logo on the bottom bar apear but after every crash it seems to move along.
Any idears guys?
my old tt3 works flawlesly.
Firstly, make sure your using version 5.10, theres a small patch from the website that takes it from 5 to 5.10.
Second, consider it might be your SD card, slow older SD cards tend to make the device hang and/or slow down, which is a problem with the radio (mobile signal) and the SD card interface.
Cards above 80x speed generally work flawlessly.
Third try just a full re-install of the TT5 software, there might have been an error whilst installing thats causing it to crash.
i havent tried the update and i dont know what speed my card is, its the same card i used tomtom 5 with flawlessly in my old pda (loox600).
I'll try the update and see what happens.
Try this
Use the poi.dat from tt3.
I had a problem with the new rom where it crashed from time to time & also i couldn't nav to the poi without it crashing.
I used the poi.dat & i can now nav. it doesn't let me call the poi but it might solve your problem.
yay! when i used the tt5 poi and navigate to, it gave me the categories but no destinations when selected then would promptly crash, i put the tt3 poi.dat in and it will now searcha and nav to without crashing. will take her out on the road tonight and if i can get to my mums and back then alls well.
was a pain cos i went to newcastle a month ago (375mile) and it just kept crashing, i had to run it in guidance mode (no map, poi) so it must be the poi then cos it didnt crash like that.
will let you know my findings then you have a definitive answer for all you out there with the same issue.
Awesome :lol:
Happy with that if it works
What version of the rom are you running by chance?
ok, it dont crash now but it's so much slower in refreshing the map, about half the speed it was.
has anyone got an unaltered tt5 pio.dat file they can upload for me to try, i'm wondering if its happened when i used my free trial of tt plus and added thier speed camera databases. i could reinstall the maps but i'm nowhere near the orginal disk at the moment as its at work and i'm 'ill'.
I have a tomtom mobile pio which worked for a while then crashes, and have somone sending me a few different TT Go pio.dat's. worth testing them all.
my roms listed below chap.
Here is POI from TT 5.10, you said in your post that you had TT's speed camera database but I thought that you had to take out a 12 month contract.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You need to uncheck all the POIs you don't want to see on the map, that is what is slowing it down.
i activated the tt plus trial on the website for a month and grabbed all the extras, although i use pocketgpsworld.com for my speed camera databases.
I have all the poi deactivated already.
will try this poi.dat and keep you all posted as i know others with the same issues as i'm having.
i've tried a working 5 & it crashes but mine works fine with the 3 one. you could always delete all poi.dat & see if it is faster.
its still dying, with all tt pio.dat files. pain in the bottom, someone else on here has mentioned they have fixed this issue. grr
Is your copy a proper license? I used to use a pirate copy before I deceided to use the real thing. The pirate copy crashed all the time as you explained but the real copy wotks just fine.
genuine. though i have done updates and added my own poi, just wondering is any other software is clashing.
been using tt since version 2 and have had bothe mobile versions on a nokia.
if your sd card is not a 80x speed it will crash all the time ,have you tried a transend 80x card as it has been established to work well and isn't that expensive
I'm using a kingston elite pro (50X) SD Card with tomtom 5.10 with ALL the POI's checked and ALL the pocketgps.co.uk speed camera datebase POI's checked with alerts for the speed camera's and i have never had a lockup whilst driving using tomtom.
Maybe try hard-resetting your XDAIIi and installing everything manually NOT using sprite. That's what i did and my tomtom seems to work flawlessly.
What bluetooth gps are you using?
ive tried hard reset a few time, even only with tt on it. no luck.
i'm not sure what speed my card is, but looks like this is most probably the cause then, matter of finding some cash then i think, or getting just a small 128 80x to stuff it on for when i need it.
tried it without the pio.dat file, still crashes. grrr.
Yes, bearing in mind i have a soley-devoted kingston elite pro 512mb just for the GB Plus map and the French map.
Perhaps if you get rid of all the other stuff from the card by formatting it in a card reader, try using "media recover" search around for it on google as it will wipe the card clean, this takes a while, but it will restore your card to it's original condition when you first bought it.
Then for the formatting, try reading this post i posted ages ago...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=21920&highlight=lydiachris
Format your card this way to produce the best read/write times.
Now put all your data back onto your card, just copy then paste the files from your pc to your sd card. This will produce no fragmetation therefor your XDAIIi will not have to search around for the desired data on the card.
Give this a go and post your outcomes.
yay, i found a apprently modified ttn.cab file through file share, installed it to my xda, it downgraded me from 5.1 to 5.0 but hasnt crashed or paused since, although ive only tried it locally, it seems fine, trying to find the time to take it 50 miles+ and see if it works
gonna try out your formating trick soon chap, will keep you posted
New XDA2i - TomTom 5.10 crash/freezing....
Hi all!
I got my new XDA2i through insurance after my 1st one's screen smashed. Installed all my apps etc including the TomTom 5.1 update andddddd it freezes every so often again ! dammm!
So, I double checked everything, all ok, the only thing I can think of is that the newer ROM this handset has is the cause of the lockups again.
I've looked through the postings on this topic and see slightly different versions on the radio version, protocol version etc.
This new XDA2i (I havent changed the ROM) is
ROM - 1.11.00 WWE
ROM Date - 01/27/05
Radio Version - 1.00.00
Protocol Version - 1337.39
EXTROM version - 1.11.162 WWE
Is it possible that some of these versions are known to cause a problem even with the updated 5.1? ( by the way I have the special Bakonl update )
I use a Sandisk 1GB Card (normal speed), the TomTom silver BT GPS unit.
Interestingly, my brothers 'spare' XDA2s with this setup works flawlessly, so I know my install, SD card, GPS all work fine.
Any ideas guys? how do I update say just the radio version? or protocol version? so that my version match another user's version which are working with TT5.1 ?
I was really looking forward to getting GPS all working again as I've missed it these last 2 months ! and now it's doing that annoying freezing again!
Any ideas, recommendations, things to try will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!!

Tomtom on Kaiser?

Hello,
anyone who has Tomtom working on the Kaiser?
The application runs, but recognizes no maps, allthough the Western Europe Map is present...
Greetz,
Forrest
Netvigator
Yes, I have got Tomtom 6 running on Kaiser and using the latest 6.75 maps and it works perfect.
Great! Can you tell me how you did it?
Maybe I should rename the directory of the Western Europe map on my SD, but I don't know how it should be named...
Thanks!
It works! I renamed the map a few times, and suddenly it was recognized!
Thanks anyway!
How is the GPS in acquiring a GPS fix?
Is it quick?
Thanks,
HJ
If you check the box carefuly, you'll find disk with tomtom app. The version there is newer thet anything you can get elsewhere, but only works with kaiser...
Tomtom Navigator 6.032!!!

Where can I download Tomtom Navigator 6.032?
ALso does it work in the U.S.?
I'd love to get TomTom working on my Kaiser!

You can't download it. It is included on the CD. Aside from that, TT 6.032 does not work on other devices, it will simply refuse to install.
As far as the fix is concerned, as I already mentioned in another thread, it's really a lot quicker than on the Trinity (Qcomm) or x7500 (Sirf III) and also a lot more sensitive (7 bars on the dinner table compared to 0 for the x7500)
Got my kaiser yesterday, used the tomtom this morning on the way to work , the lock on time was about the same as my sirfiii external unit around 90ecs, was only get around 3-4 sats though so weaker than the external unit. I was not using quick gps fix either.
I will see how it goes as i can always use the external unit with it anyway. handy to have it all built in though.
device seems very responsive compared to my vario II.
time will tell.
Actually, you should be able to manually replace the .exe of 6.032 over a 6.030 install...
Actually, you should be able to manually replace the 6.032 .exe over the 6.030 .exe...
where on the cd is the tomtom cab? I looked at each folder on both cd's that came with the kaiser and nothing. Any chance someone can send me the file? I will proof I do own tomtom maps and a kaiser, please pm.
It is called "Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716.exe" on my cdrom, yours should be the same. The cdrom also has the tomtom logo on it as well.
I have had mine freeze twice now whilst using it, i think it may have something to do with the traffic subscription as i have just had that transferred over to my new kaiser, before it was fine with tomtom. Will continue testing to see how frequent this becomes....
It appears that there are two versions of the applications disk. Can HTC's TomTom app be downloaded from their site?

boy, if some kind sould could put this up someplace...
well i guess seeing as it cannot be installed on any other device apart from the Kaiser I dont see any reason not to post it up as no one apart from Kaisers owners can install it anyway.
Obviously if this causes an issue i will remove it immediately....
HERE
Thx Zomig. Much appreciated!
Thanks! Just need to wait for the 8925 release now and see if there's anything else we're missing.
-Mc
Hmmm....McHale- I doubt that AT&T will be releasing Tomtom with their units...
I'm sure they're not. I actually meant if they cripple the device in any way like removing the front camera. I still haven't seen an official release that says it has GPS.

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...

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.

TomTom Navigator

Anyone has tried TomTom Navigator with the raphael?
How did u success?
I've installed it once, but had some problems that made it kinda useless, very bad gps lag and the signal level indicator was missing (IE. saying no signal).
EDIT: First post in this area, yay
TomTom installed just fine and worked fine yesterday, but now it can't find any satelite signals. I had the same problem on the Tilt. Guess I am giving up on TomTom.

HTC TP TomTom works just fine
Hi
Yes I'm using TomTom almost every day to/from work and it works just fine. TomTom had a major update a few weeks ago and after the update it works perfect. I bought the map-version on their website and had some struggle to install it on my phone, but after activate my SD-micro card like TomTom explained on their support site, it works just fine. It has fix on at least 5 satellites in less than 30 sec every time. But it's important to have a radio that gives you that the possibilities to have just that. There is good information to find the best radio in Raphael WiKi forum. TomTom has included traffic information as well, so I use any suggestion in order to avoid blocked streets.
Sincerely
Morten from Oslo, Norway

What version is it? I'm still using one the binary I found here in the forums as I thought there wasn't an official one working yet. (i.e. you have to use application binaries from phones with it preinstalled.)
Mine works fine as well though, but it's always nice to go "official" when you have bought the maps anyway....

Thanks GVR! Seems like that solved the lagging problem on my CDMA TP! Now TT7 is much faster in terms of updating my location.
And that was my only issue with the GPS here, I was able to get a fix with 9 satellites INSIDE a highrise in downtown in less then 5 seconds.
Awesome! I'm going to save that and hope someone can create a cab for those edits.
Hi guys
I have recently purchased HTC Touch PRO (Raphael) and tried to install TomTom Navigator 7.450 (9028) for Windows Mobile with Tomtom Western_and_Central_Europe_2GB_810_1940 but can not do it.
I mean I have installed TOMTOM all fine but it shows me that maps are not supported by this device
Can some one help me and point me in the right direction on how to install these maps ?

After a major update true TomTom Home 2.4 I've got version 7.910 (9185). That is the official version and I'm using maps for western and central Europe bought from TomTom. I started with the TomTom CAB application found here in the forum, since there wasn't any to download. But last week the program (CAB) in my HTC TP was updated automatically using Home 2.4. Even my maps are now automatically update once TomTom relizes updates.
I have a signed CAB version in my PC and HTC TP from TomTom now, that came with the update, but I do not know if it can be used by others. Maybe it is signed to be used only with my TomTom maps?
The CAB file is named navcore_7.910.9185_TT_SIGNED.htc_raphael.CAB
I will not upload anything until someone tells me wheter I am aloud to do so and that it will not be a violation in this forum.

After installation, TT goes through the process of choosing lang, speaker etc.It then asks me to download a free map, Southern Africa is not located in the list.
Can somebody please please assist and tell me what I am doing wrong and How can I activate the Southern_Africa_v7.20.1862 map.
Is there a way where I can just use the Southern_Africa_v7.20.1862 map and not download any others? Another issue, How do I activate my GPS unit?

Hi, I wasted an entire weekend trying to get TT VERSION 7 to work. I have downloaded TT_Nav_7.450.9028_repack3-vga-black and I have a Southern_Africa_v7.20.1862 map.
After installation, TT goes through the process of choosing lang, speaker etc.It then asks me to download a free map, Southern Africa is not located in the list.
Can somebody please please assist and tell me what I am doing wrong and How can I activate the Southern_Africa_v7.20.1862 map.

you have to place your Southern Afrika map in the folder My Documents @ your memory card, otherwise Tomtom will not see the the map

TomTom HOME with Xperia

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:

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)
