TomTom auto starts everytime I unplug my diamond from an usb connection. It only takes a few button presses to exit out of TT but it gets annoying after a while.
Any ideas
Which version are you using, It use to happen I think with version number 5.21 because that version have got the "Autorun" file in the installation folder and whenever you dissconnect your device, the device recognise the extra memory as it is just plugged-in.

I am running TT6 (which came with the phone) and ROM 1.93.831.1 but it was doing it with the previous ROM version as well.
delete the 2577 folder on your internal storage/where ever else it maybe and this should stop it.
man you really should use the forum search.
Its "autorunning" everytime you unplug usb as it sees the memory card again and autoruns. Follow the advice in the previous post and please use the search next time.
Addicteddddd - Thanks, I will try that
Monty - I searched under Tom Tom and auto Start and could not find what I was looking for.
As I said, follow the post above (Addicteds). In directory 2577 on the Internal Store you should find directory \2577\autorun. Delete this file.
Doesn't work for TT7
TomTom loads evrytime I soft reset. I'm using TT7 so is it possible to disable autorun for TomTom 7 as there is no 2577 folder?

Check if there's anything in \Windows\StartUp ?
autorun
i know this is a old post but i have the same on my thd with autorun when i remove my sd card
best way I found to deal with this is just go to the sd card into folder 2577 and just rename the files in that folder or rename the folder.
that way if you do need it at any time you can just rename it.
and you have your autorun back.

Hello,
There have been several people asking how TomTom (provided in HTC support site) can be installed into SD card storage instead of phone memory.
If anybody have succeeded to do that please post your answer into this thread. I am also working to find out if this can be done. If there is already a solution, please share your knowledge!
Or at least the voices directory?
This is what I've done:
Install Tom Tom via Active sync in P3600 memory
With file explorer move the directory Navigator (located under Programs directory of your device) to the Programs directory in SD Card
Tap and hold on TomTom Navigator.exe (under SD Card\Programs\Navigators) and select copy
Go to Windows\Start Menu\Programs and paste the link to TomTom (tap and hold)
Now You have two links to TomTom: remove the old one
Start TomTom from Programs Menu, wait for fix et voilà.....
Bye
Marco
Why would you even want this thing? It's a demo! It can only load on city map, nothing else in it as far as I can see?

Yes, Marco is right. I moved my Navigator directory to my miniSD card and saved over 5 meg of storage memory on my Trinity. TomTom works fine from my miniSD.
Hi,
Every time my Kaiser boots, directly Tomtom boots. That's very anoying, it's not in startup folder, tomtom is installed on sd.
any ideas?
Thanx
You'll find a directory on the root of your SD card '2577'
Copy this to your PC (you will need to replace it if ever you need to re-install) and then delete it.
It's for when you first put in the card but for some reason does not de-activate.
@Farsquidge
Thanx it worked, so happy now!
When I delete 2577 folder and start up tomtom again it cant find my maps...its very strange like that...any ideas?
That's very strange.
Have you actually installed the SW or are you just running the App from the SD card?
I think a better option for not having tomtom automatically start at boot up is to simply remove the autorun.exe file from the 2577 folder and leave everything else there. Did it right after buying my Tilt and haven't had the auto start problem since.
I have it installed to the phone...I dont know why the 2577 folder is so important.....??.....

When I remove that file, or any file for that matter in the 2577 folder it either still auto starts or says cannot find maps, what is the deal. Also when i boot the phone it also tries to install tomtom all over while the program starts too, I have to wait like 5 minutes for phone to becoem responsive to touch or buttons.

The 2577 directory is an autorun directory which means any program called autorun.exe inside will run as soon as the SD card is put into the device. Usually is used by GPS software for installation of its files.
just rename the 2577 file (e.g. call it 2577-ttn) and this should fix the auto-run problem. If you then want to change it back to autorun, just rename it 2577 again.

it says maps not found when you do that. anything I change or remove in the 2577 folder makes tom tom say no maps found, why does it need auto run for the maps??????????

Make sure the "ttnavigator.bif" file is under "\Storage Card\". Copy it from "\(Storage Card\)Program Files\navigator" directory if it's not there. Otherwise I have no idea.

I believe Tom Tom needs to be installed through your PC using activesync.
I dont use it though...
p.s.
all the tomtom files i had was from the old "universal" i used to play around with!
at that time, it worked fine with my wing(stock t-mobile ROM) but then i sold those two devices and then just recently, i decided to make the wing my MAIN phone again so i bought another one(lol) but now i cant get it to work!
i flashed my device with opentouch 2.7 biggy(GREAT ROM btw, kudos ttran!) if that makes any difference.

Did you even try what I recommended? Make sure all of the files are in a folder on your PC hard drive and run the .exe from there. Make sure your phone is connected through activesync.
thanks
hey thanks for your reply JLine05! that was quick!!!
ok. we'll do. im gonna try it out right now. ill post back up in a bit! thanks again, man!
ok. tried that but it didnt work! my pc says tomtom 6 is not a valid win32 app. this is with my wing connected via activesync too! hmmmm... im gonna try just separating all the items in the tomtom nav folder and put 'em out on the main dir. of my sd card.
or should should i just put the tomtom .exe file in /windows or /windows/programs or something like that and then run it???
this is also a bit off topic(sorry) but in the meantime, does anyone know how to change the clock colors? i've downloaded the files for the different colors but i cant put it in /windows! it says that the files im trying to replace is a "read-only" file therefore i cant delete/overwrite it!!!
is there a reg tweak or something that im missing???
one more thing. do you guys experience having issues turning on bt & wifi AT THE SAME TIME??? bec. see, i wanna surf the web while listening to mp3s via a2dp and i have my bt headset connected but then when i turn on wifi it just keeps on asking me for my password(wep key). i have all my wifi settings configured and it connects w/o asking for the wep(no problems) it just asks for it when im streaming mp3s to my bt headset!
as always, any help is appreciated!

Use total commander.
Find the .exe file and highlight it.
Click on File, then >>>>> (A), then choose create shortcut.
Click on Tree when the box comes up.
Click on the + to expand the windows directory.
Expand the Start Menu Directory.
Then you can point it to either programs or settings.
Now when you want to open it, a shortcut will be in the folder that you chose.

Hi there.
I have a folder 2577 containing 2 files autorun.exe and autorun.nnp
also i have igo dir where maps and other data is located.
When trying to run autorun.exe it says a newer version of program is installed on the card. What are directories where such files could be?
Maybe there is some short tutorial on how to install igo navigator?
phone tytn II
Thanks for suggestions
I think IGo will install on the device per default (\Program Files\iGO8\). The data is still located on your sd-card. Or look in the registry HKLM\Software\iGO8\. If there is an entry, try to delete it.
yes, thanks.
but know is another problem: it cannot locate languages files...
maybe someone could provide a tree how files should be stored
know i have program files/igo8/content/lang/ and here are my files but when starting i get initialiazation eror no language files were found
heh finally after formating micro card it works.
however in igo it says that gps receiver is connected but no signal is shown.
Has anybody idea why it could be so?
Another issue i don't know why, but every time i get in external gps->gps hardware port and change it as i need it gets lost.
as if i would set that data... maybe someone had such problem?
I got tomtom7 and the maps are in zip files, how to convert them to .cab so to be able to install them?

Using an a program like Total Commander you can unzip the files to the root of your SD card.
-or-
Unzip the files on your computer and move them to the root of your SD card.
and if the files are in the root of my SD card, will the program recognize them? a have seen some maps in .cab file which extract the maps in the SD ,in folder something like /Program Files/Athens/

When you start your the TomTom program up it will see the map. I have my maps in a folder by itself on the same level as my Program Files folder (i can see them at the same time when you are looking at it in File Explorer.
OK, but it dont give me to select the maps, just says "No maps found" and "Welcome you can download 1 free map of your choice and experience GPS Navigation", and this is all.
What version of tomtom are you useing?

I am using TomTom7 it is version 7.45. Do you know if you have the file ttnavigator.bif in the root of your SD card?
where is this file 'ttnavigator.bif' , i dont find it, is it in the map package or in Tomtom7 package ?

If you cannot find the ttnavigator.bif, check in the \program files\navigator directory either on the phone itself and also check for it on the SD card. If it is in one of those two spots you can copy and move it.
If you cannot find it, you can reinstall the TomTom7 software.
