Hi everyone... I'm using a tilt, I don't have any cooked firmware, just official stuff released by HTTC (unless using the skin HTC Home 2.1 counts as cooked)
I just installed Tom Tom and I have two problems. The main one is that when I touch the icon on the touch screen it doesn't launch, all I get is an error beep (but no error message). It launches fine from the start menu but clearly having it work from the today screen is better.
Also, the software didn't come with any voices, I was able to download my free local map with no issue and found a satellite signal... but I have no turn my turn directions with no voice selected. Where can I install voices?
Thanks everyone, I've had this phone for months now and I'm just now starting to get the hang of installing cab files and installing programs to this phone. Its easier than I thought, but I'm at a brick wall right now it seems....
You can search for voices here in this forum and there are plenty of free ones floating around.
To fix your tomtom from you today screen from being launched you may want to try a new version of htc home if you don't already have it.
I downloaded TomTom Home and got some voices instaled pretty easily. I thought I was using the latest version of HTC Home 2.1 Is there a newer one I'm not aware of, or a patch? I know I had to patch the brightness button not working earlier.

Oki here we go again. I have been looking for backlight fix of TomTom 6. I did find a link from the forum ages ago but now I can't find it.
I have installed C_Shekar new 6.1 Rom and installed my TomTom on it. When running tomtom the backlight switches off and I cannot see anything on the screen. Someone pointed (ages ago) that WM5 has issues with it and he gave me the fix for it which was working fine uptill now. I have tried the fix error message cab file from the forum as well but no luck. I think I need to edit the registry file for TomTom from backlight to bbcklight or something.
Now when I run TomTom with backlight fix it gives the following error message:
==================
The file 'TomTom Navigator' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem presists, try reinstalling or restoring the file.
========================
Please help!
Regards
Jay
Oki I found another TomTom version which is working just fine.
Great news
Just a quick question... which version of Tomtom are you using that has fixed this issue? There seem to be different opinions about which one is best...
6.100
6.032
6.030
6.020
6.010
Do you ever get a "jerking" problem where the position goes forward and backward along the same road as you move (instead of moving forward smoothly?).
Thanks.

Afternoon! I am not sure what version of tomtom it is exactly as it doesn't say on the file I downloaded. All it says it is "TNT2007" and nothing else. I have tried to check its settings from within TOMTOM but I was unable to find the version number.
Yes! there is a "jerking" problem, it did it when I went to France from UK through a road trip and it was getting stuck in Paris. It didn't find the most important places like "Eiffel Tower, Champs Elyees" even though I setup POI's, tried manually entering the name and still nothing. I wonder how POI's work in this software.
anyways all things aside, if you want the file I can upload it here and you can download it and try it out?

I'm using TT too, (Version 6.200, to find out: tap screen, settings, GPS Status lower right corner) and i have the same Problem. someone who kwnows how to solve?
My workaround: press call answering, start, settings, system, Lights, battery tap twice on checkbox, close... back to TT and lights on...
It seems that TT forces the Lights-settings...

To find your version of TomTom open the software and tap the GPS signal strength meter in the bottom right corner. Your version will be displayed in a white box in the lower right corner. I am using version 6.010 on an AT&T Tilt using the latest stock ROM minus the bloatware. I have little issue with how the screen scrolls, it is a lot better than my old iPAQ.
To be able to find POI's you need 2 things, a map, and a list of POI's. You don't always get a complete list of POI's with the map. If I was traveling out of the country I would make sure I had all the proper maps, and POI files before I left home.

I used to tap the red end key on my old iPAQ to minimize TomTom... I think the green key brought up the dialpad.

The best solution is using a hex editor to open the exe file under tomtom folder.
Search for Backlight and replace the 'a' to 'b', becomes Bbcklight.
Save and replace the original exe file.
Sounds a ridiculous way but it does work for all versions.
Suggestions
Hi Jay,
Sorry for taking so long to reply to your suggestion - work has been getting the better of me.
I've now trialled a number of different versions of tomtom and I believe the best one for this ROM is v6.032 build 8351.
Try googling "tomtom 6.032 torrent".
In terms of jerky and slow screen updates I've found a major improvement by backing up my SD card, re-formatting it (full formatting, not quick formatting) and then copying the map back first, and then everything else that was on it. It seems that my SD card was fragmented and defragging it made a massive difference. I didn't believe it would when I first read about it on another forum, but it really works!
I've also found a slight improvement by overclocking the CPU using the program XCPU Scaler v3.03. It runs tomtom at 472mhz. Not as big an improvement as the SD card trick, but still a small improvement.
I still think that tomtom performance was better under wm5 AKU2.3 (and even wm2003se) but we get quite a few more features with wm6.1.
I now have no backlight or other issues.
I hope that helps.
mtom
i have 2 phones one with wm6.1 and one with wm6.0 will tomtom woke on the 6.0 already have it on 6.1and works good
I have just installed TomTom 6 on my HW6510. I can get the sound working by renaming the file BtCoreIf.dll. However I can't select the internal GPS receiver by following the instructions on a previous thread.
I deleted the file Navigator (under the directory navigator) - on restarting TomTom it just asks me for preferences (language, left / right handed etc..) it does not give me any options for selecting the receiver.
I must be missing something but don't know what.
Any help would be appreciated.
Dump tomtom
had loads of never ending issues with tomtom on my 6515. between map errors , no sound, hig system requirements and plain bad programming i eventually followed a complaint thread at pda4x.com and decided to go with IGO. never looked back, even dumped tomtom off my wifes pda and installed IGO for her as well.
Possibly its just the Australia maps that are that bad on tomtom but i find IGO to be a far superior product with greater ease of use and better routing. Easier to install, and NO ISSUES!!!
I am afraid i cant help you. tomtom runs buggy on my tornado and on my old blue angel when i had it , it worked ok, but slow, i got it running perfectly with the 6515 for about two weeks, after which it started loosing the gps.. (ie: had to find gps hardware every time i started tomtom). But note, when it was running it ws sluggish (possibly sd issues).I reiterate what i said in the last post. dump tomtom. on this device igo 2007+ runs waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better, much faster response and no bugs. Personally i find the routing to be better anyhow.
PS. Garmin XT runs fantastically. installed since my last post. if one was to install a cracked version, which of course one would not do, i would have to say the process was horribly complicated . But worth it. garmin has to date given me the best drive, plus integration of the garmin desktop map bundles available make it a win win
if you need help with the garmin install for integrated gps units pm me!
Thanks for the response - I will probably change to iGO. Before I do, one point to clarify, you state "after which it started loosing the gps.. (ie: had to find gps hardware every time i started tomtom)".
Was the finding of the GPS hardware an automatic action once TomTom started or was this something you had to force?
nope random, seemed to be tied to the autoupdate feature of the quickgps software on the 6515. if gprs was not connected then somehow it would not go over to old manual sattelite fix and just hung in limbo. if gprs is on or quickgps is in an "updated" state it seemed fine. the quickfix was to go into tomtom gps settings and "refind" the gps each time. damn annoying.
note here.. both tom tom and igo seemed to "lose focus" because of the quickgps app. basically you tap tomtom navigator shortcut.. tomtom boots, but then quickgps kicks in and shifts focus from tomtom and never gives it back until you tap the screen. in the case of IGO this was worse because if you tapped the [backarrow] button on the menu it would tap the windows key instead and the only way to fix that is to actualy start an app on the start bar drop down then kil it and "focus" would return to Igo. Once again only an issue if the quickgps software is not up to date. when i say update i mean that its downloaded the latest sattelite position files, not the actual program version update. I did update the version from ver 1.3 to ver 1.6 did not fix this issue
best of luck
PS I got a p3600i the other day.. lovely phone but sucks butt as a gps (very slow sattelite fix) compared to the 6515 running igo so my 6515 still lives in my car

Not bad. Good use of your old phone.
Hi
I have a HTC Diamond (t-Mobile, but with the HTC stock rom rather than the T-Mobile OS)
Using TomTom (TomTom 2003)
Used to use it on previous Windows Mobile phone with HTC rom without issue
It works until i go on a motorway, and then it suddenly doesnt know where it is
The blue car icon just floats off into the greenery, and that is that
Any ideas?
Thanks
what on earth is TomTom 2003?! Maybe go for TT6 or TT7.
Sounds like your description of the problem is not very accurate. -> it is working i.e. not crashing out, but your GPS may be losing position / fix.
How do you mean "blue car icon just floats off into the greenery"
Help us to help you with more detail!
PS did you download the Quick GPS Fix data, and did you get a proper lock before commencing driving?
I have found once or twice that the Diamond doesn't quite know where it is (a few metres out, just enough to lose the "snap-to" the correct road).
Restarting TomTom or the phone fixed it.
I know motorways dont move but your map data for other roads could be out of date if your using 2003. I had to disable assisted GPS (using advanced config) and stopped using the Quick GPS program on my diamond because the GPS stopped working in any application after about 5 minutes. Now I dont have any problems with the GPS using TT7 or Memory Map.
Using Dutty 2.5 and 05 radio by the way
never had a problem with Quick GPS Fix.....As far as I know I have not disabled advanced GPS.
I have a standard Orange 1.37.405 unlocked ROM and 25.03 radio.
Using a 5 year old mapping product is probably not the greatest idea (I found some road errors even in TT7.)
What kind of devices were you running TT2003 on?!?! I would think that an update is in order....
LOL....bit like running Win3.1 applications on a Windows Vista machine...er, perhaps it might not work correctly
Hello,
I have the same problem with TomTom6. Last week I had a trip about 100 km on german motorway. After ca. 45 minutes wihtout any problem TomTom screen becomes gray for a minute. No gps-signal. A minuter later screen return to color an gps seems to be fixed again. But then: It doesn´t track correct - recognized, when blue arrow leaves street. After a while TomTom hang up fully.
Only manual restart and softreset are a solution.
Wht maybe the reason for this (no a-gps activated, but qucik gps).

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

Hi
Hopefully this isnt wrong section, if it is i apologize
problem:
after i installed official rom from htc page (did that when it was released):
RUU_Diamond_HTC_FIN_2.03.414.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship everything seemed to work "fine".
but now my htc acts weird, if i look clock time on my htc it shows wrong time and is behind hour or 2 every.
only fix for that is if i turn off phone and then turn on again.
is there a fix here for that (custom rom etc) as only softwares ive installed are RDC and Garmin Mobile XT.
another question: is there a way to lock applications from starting in the middle of phonecall, usually when i end up call i have to close n+1 applications that have been opened during call (good side of touchscreen )
also tried to search suitable roms for my htc, but wasnt able to find as i reside in estonia and have to use finnish rom.
