Three Silly Questions - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Ok I have a brand new kayser and I have 2 newbie questions about this model and one envolving all mobiles. Here we go:
1. I have the original vodafone ROM, when i play mp3's (wether on the MP ou Audio Manager) and press the power button (in order to turn off the screen) the music stop's, i mean, it doesnt keep playing... My older prophet and tytn I had this function of powering off the screen but the music would still play. Is this a ROM issue or hardware issue?
2. I've tried almost everything on the phone, except the GPS module, that I dont know if it works. Is there a program i can install just to pick up some satellites and see if it works? (i dont want tomtom and igo whatever because i dont have an sd card big enough for them )
Now the general porpuse one. My friend with an HTC Prophet had a problem with its phone, the vibration suddenly stoped working. We took it to the warranty and they repaired it. On the service point he was told that it had happened due to the vibrations the phone was put on, i mean, when hes driving he has that support on the windshield to put the PDA working as a GPS. It is true that it gets some vibration from driving and the car engine itself... but can this cause these king of problems?

1. try to use another player, there are a lot of them that are better then the default ones(wmp,audiomanager)
2. many apps like: gps test, gps tool, ....
3. I think there are thousands of people that are using their phones like your friend and they havent got problems with vibration. So for me its just a absurdity.

Which ones do you recommend? Does this happen with you? (the situation i mentioned?)

1. pressing the power button dont just blank the screen
it suspect the whole device to save power so yes it stops
programs
most players got options to blank screen when listning to music
some players does seem to be able to run while in suspend mode
just like the clock

I like Pocket music bundle, but its not a freeware. There is an option to play the music after hitting the power button.
I didnt realize that it stops playing music when u put the phone to sleep mode, so yes its happing to me also.

TCPMP or coreplayer. There's an option to map a button to turn screen off.

Two silly answers

Well my HTC branded TyTN II with original WM 6.0 ROM as per sig and with default settings keeps playing mp3s when the screen is blanked in this way so all I can suggest is it may be due to a configuration change made or the ROM itself. If you cant find any config changes, have a look at additional files put on your storage card by WMP in your music folder. When I was using WM 6.1 I found that version of WMP put a file associated with powersaving in there, not sure about the vodafone ROM though. WM 6.0 keeps it's own files in the right place and out of my music folder.
2. I've tried almost everything on the phone, except the GPS module, that I dont know if it works. Is there a program i can install just to pick up some satellites and see if it works? (i dont want tomtom and igo whatever because i dont have an sd card big enough for them )

If you have data capability & don't mind paying for the data, Google Maps or MS Live Search are free. Personally I prefer Tomtom Navigator 6.032 (HTC version) but I found WM 6.0 and it's radios work far better than WM 6.1 for GPS and Tomtoms UK tech support line told me TTN 6 wasn't supported under WM 6.1, only WM 6.0! Don't know about the last issue and I suspect the best person to comment with knowledge about the cause of the problem and how to stop it recurring, would have been the tech staff who fixed it.

What Problems you found since undating to GPS ROM ?

So it seems that so many people are enjoying there GPS enabled HTC trinity, there are so many people however (including me) are still afraid to do the move... still waiting for the official HTC ROM (who knows when is it gonna come, if it will come at all)....
My question is for those braves who upgraded already, would you guys please tell us about any problems you have with your devices since you upgraded ? speed, freezing, memory, odd behaviors, just any thing worth mentioning
Couple of minor things really..
Once in a while the start menu pops up without me pressing the corresponding buttons.
Once in a while after soft resetting, it does not start up the phone part. It keeps saying no service, but after a couple of flight mode on/off's it asks for my pin number and it starts up again.
For some reason, if I get a text message, and want to read it, the device shows the bottom part of the message first, most of the time being white and I have to scroll up to read the text.
But again, just minor things, apart from the last one, it might happen once a week or so...

I have none of these problems.
Only small problems I have discovered:
Timezone bug, the timezone switch back to -8 (in stead of +1).
I correct this by putting localtime and visitingtime on +1.
Alarm bug, the alarm only vibrate and rings ones.
It does not wake me up
Camera bug, the camera driver does not close the Ati driver for some reasons.
After I used the Camera I could not use CorePlayer with Ati playback until a softreset.
But I am very happy with the new rom.
It feels more stable to me then ROM 1.15 NLD.
Hi, I've updated my Trinity with this ROM.
All works fine, except that it doesn't work with my SIM card.
When I insert the SIM card, I got a message and the Network Wizard:"Your current operator (23433) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor.
Would you like to select another network provider?
Basically I can't connect to the network and the network wizard gave me only asian and australian operator I can choose from, but I'm on Orange and in UK!!
Please let me know what's wrong!
Cheers

No problem on my side (and since you never mailed the ATI driver to me because it might shut the camera off, i've got no problems whatsoever with coreplayer of the camera )

Uhmm... first thing that is wrong is that you posted this in three threads!
From what others have said the network wizard can be removed.
If the phone works with an italian SIM (as you said somewhere else) but not with the Orange SIM then maybe the Orange SIM is very old and doesn't work in a 3G phone? Or was it working before the upgrade?
ok, you're right...sorry about that..
Anyway, my sim card works, I found out that my phone, accept all the cards but Orange!!
Is possible that a device can reject one operator SIM? do you know if exist a SIM lock only for one operator?
So far I have not noticed any negative effect which is said on the above (timezone, start button poping out, etc) thread. However, I found the improvements as per below:
1) Camera Zoom Function now works (was not working before)
2) Better battery life (finish charging in the morning, made one call & by evening still shows 100%)
3) More responsive (AKU3.3)
4) Of course the internal GPS works ;-)

You can possibly solve this by following the next steps.
Do a hard reset.
Follow the first usage screens (Time, alignment etc).
After you click Finish do a softreset.
Normally the device install some Dopod software after you click finish. By doing a softreset the dopod software is not installed. You warning/error is possible caused by Dopod software. It installes some extra not usefull (for European people) network software.

I use the normal Ati drivers at the moment.
With the older Ati drivers the camera did not work anymore.
Try the next steps:
Do a softreset.
-Open CorePlayer or BetaPlayer and play a video (using the Ati video playback)
-Close CorePlayer or BetaPlayer
-Start the camera
-Close the camera
-Open CorePlayer or BetaPlayer again.
-Now I got a green screen and doesn't see any video playback with the Ati drivers.
-Do a softreset
-Open CorePlayer or BetaPlayer and the video is working fine again (using Ati driver)
I am not the only one with this problem.
My problems with that rom:
1.
Your current operator (23433) is not supported. You should obtain an update from your device vendor.
Seems to be a "fake error msg".
2.
Tomtom 5.1 is starting very slowly and Gps signal isn't found immediately. Takes up to 5 minutes!!!
3.
Sometimes Active Sync starts invisible without plugging my trinity onto my pc.
4.
sometimes my contact list is invisible, pressing on start solves that problem.
5.
my clock does the +1 to -8 switch....
6. my transcend 4gb mini-sdhc card is sometimes there, sometimes not.... holy ****!
---------------------
good things:
no camera bug
gps working
i hope that a original htc update is being released very soon....

What you mean by that?
"current operator not supported"
I think this message is occuring because the ROM is expecting a set of suppliers from the original region for the ROM. When you use it in other regions, it's not finding these providers, but it sucessfully connects to your local provider instead. I've had this error message, and when it appears, there's an option to say "don't display this again". Once I did this, I've never seen it appears again, and my phone is working well with no problems.

my problem with the gps rom is these
1) voice calls go to voicemail automatically, seems to happen after a sequence of programs that i use, cannot identify at the moment possibility, gps or wifi program, a soft reset fixs this , but it will come back again
2) gps fix sometimes can take quite some time about 5 minutes b4 getting a fix
Use PIE to go to https://pda.hkjc.com/pda/MainMenu.aspx and click any of the link (e.g. Horse Racing), you'll get "The link is improperly formatted" error. Seems like this is a bug in IE handling Javascript.
I've tried hard-resetting the machine (i.e. no additional application installed) and the same error happens.
I also used another D810 with an old ROM (1.17) and this problem couldn't be reproduced.
This is frustrating ....

I swear that my MP3 quality is GREATLY degraded after upgrading to the test rom. Used to be rich with plenty of bass when plugged into my car aux input when I was using HTC rom, now it sounds like I am listening through a tin can!!! Sounds like most of the lower frequencies are not being sent out of the audio output. Could this just be a connection problem in the jack and just coincidence that I had just put on the new rom?
Anyone else with the same experience?
1. No bass
2. Slow screen response when stylus is constantly on it. ie play games like skyforce.
3. When bluetooth is on, unit randomly turns on and stays on.
Eagerly awaiting a rom upgrade.
Good for most part
Occasionally takes long time to find gps.
Once connected works great.
Sometimes have to soft reset after using gps software.
I use my external Bluetooth when I use TOM TOM. Its a hell of a lot quicker and easier.

Incoming calls - big problem

I posted the problem in another thread yet (as a reply). I open a new thread because the problem is again here unfortunately.
The problem first occured after the installation of the TomTom app.
After installing and downloading and installing the included map everything works fine. But then I connect the TyTN II to the PC and the TomTom Home application. The app was searching for updates for the installed TomTom Navigator. It brings up the message that a update is available, it was the "phone database - connect2internet" update. And now that's the strange and very annoying part: After installing the update, the phone doesn't play ANY kind of ringtone on an incoming call and the ringtones are very low.
Neither removing the TomTom app nor doing a soft reset solved the problem. After a masterreset everything was fine again. I installed then all apps (except TomTom) needed again and did a backup with Sprite Backup. After this I installed the TomTom Navigator again with the update... same problem! No ringtones on incoming calls. I did then a restore and all was ok again.
But this evening I called me myself and no ringtone was played. That's so annoying. A phone should really not have such problems. It seems that the problem is not TomTom dependent. I have these apps installed:
-TomTom Navigator
-Sprite Software Sprite Backup
-PocketCM Keyboard
-Pocket eSword
-Microsoft SQLE 2.0
-Mobipocket.com Reader
-PocketCM Contacts 0.15
-Saman SMSDeliveryReceiptFix
-MohairSofa Calendar+ Today Plugin
I hope that you can help me, I really don't know what I should do anymore.
Thank you very much in advance

What happened with your settings? Are they still "normal", or can you see that the volume has changed to mute for example?
I've heard some people having problems with HTC Home changing profile settings to auto.

The settings are normal as they should be. It's also strange, that the ringvolume is much lower now than before when trying to play a ringtone in the settings. (The volume in the settings is the same).

You seem to tbe the only tomtom home user who is having this problem. So lets start at the beginning:
1) When you test the device, is it definitely in normal/ringer profile?
2) What have you set incoming calls to do in start, settings, sounds and notifications, notifications tab?
3) If both above are correct, does the phone vibrate if you change them to vibrate options?

Thank you for your reply.
1) Yes, there is the normal profile activated
2) There are all the normal settings (manufacturer settings)
3) This one I can't check now becuase I did a masterreset already
The strange thing too, is that the ring volume is suddenly very low. This occurs at the same time with the no ringtone on incoming calls problem.
It seems that the problem is not related with the TomTom. Maybe with another app like PocketCM, Keyboard CM or ???
Thank you again and best regards
JCD.SAG
Only way to find out is to take them off, then install tom tom and then test the device. If all is well, then add back one program at a time and test.
You may actually find that instaling them in a different order fixes it (some early WM6 roms would only allow some apps to work if you installed them after certain others and before yet more).
Thank you again for you replies. Yesterday on midday the problem was here again, no ringtones on incoming calls. Not even the restore of a backup made previously helped. One day before the restore could solve the problem.
I decided in agreement with the HTC Support and the service centre to send the device to the service center for repair. I really hope that they can solve the problem.
Best regards

I as well am having this problem! It is extremely annoying as I have already taken the phone back and had it replaced and now the new one is doing the same thing.
I also had TomTom installed though?
Don't update to the newest TOMTOM using the Home Application. The update isnt even for the TYTN II, it's for other devices that need it. My TOMTOM version is 6.010 (7720) GPS Driver v1.20 MAP USA and CANADA v650.1109 - v675.1409
Everything works perfect including Trafic and I do not use the TOMTOM HOME for the fact that I do not need any sh-tware on my PC.

Today I phoned to the repair centre where I sent my device to. They told me, that the TyTN II is already on the way back to me. They changed the flexboard. I suppose this is approximately the same like the mainboards in the computers. I hope I'll get it today an I hope really that the problem has been solved. I will install the tools I need and then let's see...

Yesterday I got my TyTN II back from the repair centre.
But it's unbelievable, the same problem occured this morning again. No ringtone played on incoming calls. And now the battery cover doesn't fit good to the device now. It's so annoying! I have to send the device back to the service centre again. I can't believe it!

Fixing Ringtones
I had this problem and worked out how to fix it.
Look at the following Reg Key (change midifile to mp3file for mp3 issues)
Delete any EventSoundHandlers already in place and add this Key.
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\midifile\Shellex\EventSoundHandlers\{245F94CF-DD9C-46F9-B4C8-D2B14A877893}]
@="XME EventSound Player"
Problem fixed.

TomTom Sound Issue

Question -- I have TomTom on my Tilt ... it installs fine, and works fine ... however each time I start it up the sound is turned off .. .and I have to touch the screen, turn on the sound twice before the change in settings "sticks" and I get the voice giving me directions.
Any thoughts how I can fix this?
Mine does the exact same thing, otherwise it works perfectly. Running XDA Live 1.1 ROM...
That is the default function. You must always activate the sound after starting.

hate to tell you guys, but it's not the default. The sound is on when I fire up Tom Tom on my Tilt, I've never had any issue nor had to go into settings to turn it on before. Are you guys using a ROM other then the original one?
Default off on both my HK Kaiser & my AT&T Tilt. Don't know what to tell you.
Solution that works for me!
I have found that all I have to do is to rotate the volume wheel on the side of my Tilt and the sound gets turned on without having to go through the preferences menu. It will repeat the last direction when you do this but it doesn't bother me too much and it lets me know that the sound is enabled.
The same issues occur with the previous version 6.03
And on other PPCs as well (eg IPAQ hw6910).
But it does not happen always, so I deduce it's related to conflicts with other softwares.
And it certainly isn't a feature, as a previous poster suggested.
TT as a default always starts with sound ON.

I didn't have this problem until about 30 minutes ago, I received the Carcomm Cradle I ordered for the car, installed it, tried out TomTom and now I have the same problem as you.
Are any of you using a Carcomm Cradle?
The only other thing I changed before the sound problem is I bought a "Veripart 3-in-1 Converter HTC ExtUSB" so I can charge the PDA and listen to music using the 3,5 mm jack port.
I also have exactly the same problem, and solve it with the volume wheel. I also had this problem on my Hermes.
TomTom 'fixes'
FWIW, not sure why, but the volume wheel never solves my problem in a predictable fashion, so I've went and found the following apps that make things easier:
TomTom Menu Builder -- Change the location of where the 'Turn on sound' or any button shows up in the menu for faster access. e.g., I've placed my 'Turn on sound' button on page 1 with 'Navigate to' and 'exit application'. The menu also allows you to enable all sorts of 'hidden' menus, with the most useful being the voice preferences menu, which lets you choose how verbose the speaker is. Alternatively, if you're not up to installing the menu builder, you could download my TomTom menu (see attached). Either way, place TomTom.mnu in \TomTom\SdkRegistry.
TomTom Starter -- Make your phone volume max and turn off all notification popups before starting TomTom. Reverses volume and notification changes after exiting TomTom. Great for when you forget that your phone is on vibrate or at a low sound setting.
BTW, its not the ROM that is the problem, it most likely has to do with TomTom. I'm using 6.03, non-taster edition.
The sound will be muted when you start TomTom with a data connection active. If you disconnect your data connection (G, 3G or H) before starting TomTom the sound should be on.....

Thanks michi123, I seem to recall reading about this in another thread. However, that's still yet another application (comm manager) and button I need to press before starting TomTom.
It's much easier for me to use the two applications I've included, as I'll need to go into the menu anyway to enter my navigation point and should I forget to turn off vibrate or crank up my volume, TomTomStarter fixes that for me...

Excellent! That works. And unless you have changed the functionality of your end button (like in the xda ROM) it is pretty quick to hold down the red end button (to close all data connections) before opening TomTom.
But it's not very effective when you're using a converged device, right?
I mean, would you turn off your phone every time you'd want to load TT, and then have to remember to turn it back on (while still inside TT)?

All holding down the end key does is cancel all active data connections .. it does not "turn off" the phone (unless you happen to be on a call). So yes, if you want to tun TT when you are on the phone, this solution will not work, but if you want to run TT when you are not actively speaking, holding down the end key first solves the sound problem. Then, you can still make and receive calls and, for that matter, you can still use data programs too, all with TT running.
Very useful thread, I've just updated mine and my G/Fs TyTns, we both have exactly the same ROM and RADIO, hers starts with Volume on, Mine starts with Volume off, the only real difference is that we're on different service providers, we both have MS ActiveSync running against our different corporate Exchange servers, and I have reduced my connectivity to GPRS to save battery. Will give the Tweaker app a go and see what happens. Sh
Alex. What version of tomtom are you running. I cannot get the menu file to work with my version 6.032(8351) no taster version.
Hi guys,
I just wanted to post on here cos I noticed some information that I didn’t agree with and also I have tested what others have said and it works so I thought I would say thankyou in one breath and bugger in another.
I have tested TomTom 6.031 SDK version on a HTC TyTN2, Glofiish, HP614c, HTC p3300 and a HTC Cruise and all of them start TomTom with the sound muted if they have a data connection active!
Sound is not muted at start-up if there is no data connection. This is great to know as I was baffled by it all but it also causes me a pain in that I need the data connection all the time, so I think its a mistake if TomTom themselves presume otherwise.
I have a XDA Orbit 2 on order but I am guessing it will be the same with that. I dont remember this issue with Windows Mobile 5, but it happens for sure on 6.
Also I have an issue with the 6.031 SDK and the unmute function call doesn’t appear to work!
Ho hum... so many devices with the same issue....
Ram
I have to admit I made a slight error in my statement above, I hadn’t tried it on the HTC p3300 and got the same result, it would appear that the HTC p3300 is the only device out of the many I have tried that doesn’t switch to silent when loading TomTom while a data connection is active.
I am trying to work out why this is as I am running the same software installation on all the devices.

This does not show up on the updates for my TyTynII (downloads are serial number specific) only in the generic downloads.
I think its best if you only apply this IF you suffer with any Bluetooth problem.
The old adage, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it!'
Re: does this work on AT&T Tilt?
In the HTC 1.56 ROM, this file is a replacement for \Windows\TIInit_4_2_38.bts a.k.a. (OEM\OEMDrivers\TIInit_4_2_38.bts for chefs). There is nothing else in that cab (see upgrading forums thread for better description)
Edit: I was wondering if I kept quiet, how many people would have experienced a placebo effect and said that it works great and makes bluetooth 10x better on AT&T...
Summary
If you happen to be an AT&T Tilt user that has flashed to an HTC ROM, this fix will work for you. If you're running an AT&T ROM, or you have no idea what a ROM is, but you know your phone says AT&T on it, it does nothing.
Does this fix the issue were bluetooth is dropped after finishing a call ?
Thanks for letting us ATT users know that it doesn't do anything. Guess we don't have this issue But on a serious note does this actually fix anything besides a supposed call dropping? I don't have that issue but of course we all have tons of issues with BT quality.
I have install the update listed above on a Tilt running the RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship Rom and the Bluetooth quality has jumped 100%. My Bluetooth stereo headphones sound great.
Thanks for starting this thread.
Awesome, thanks! I was going to ask if anyone had drop call problems as it happened to me twice last night and I happened to have my BT headset on

I have a lot of crackling background on my BT headset. Did not have that on the 8525. Also, there seems to be less functionality supported in the Tilt implementations, regarding the BT, vs the 8525 (I was running a cooked ROM though on my 8525). What i mean by that, is that I was able to use the BT buton to activate the voice dial using the MS VM. In addition, hitting the BT button twice was getting me a redial. Not anymore. I wonder is this has to do with the AT&T ROM or not? Is this a genuine HTC issue?

Before I switched to Dutty's ROMs, I was running the stock Tilt Rom for a few days, and then the newer Tilt ROM for a week. Both of those AT&T Tilt Stock roms gave me no issues like you mentioned. I heavily use my BT headset (Jawbone), and use Microsoft Voice Command (I very seldom use the dialer as its easier to just speak and have the phone dial for me). Pressing once on my headset would always bring up MS VC so I could issue it commands, and pressing twice on my headset always did a redial.
Now that I'm on Dutty's 7b, I have the same behaviors there too. Not sure what to tell you (other than some BT headsets don't work well with WM6, but if you were using the same headset on your 8525 then thats probably not the case).
As always... YMMV

This file does not exist in the AT&T Tilt ROM, so it's doubtful it will harm or help to install this.

I checked the AT&T's 1.60.502.3 rom and it does exist. I didn't check the stock AT&T rom so I don't know if it wasn't there. I did a file comparison with ExamDiff between HTC's fix (22,490 bytes), AT&T's 1.60.502.3 version (22,490 bytes) and HTC's 1.56.405.5 version (23,899 bytes). It appears AT&T's newest rom already has the fix so anyone using the following roms should not have to apply the fix:
AT&T stock 1.60.502.3
Kyphur's XDA Live
Dutty's AT&T Variants
Custel's Series
_Alex_'s 1.60
any of DK's roms (shameless plug)
Is rapidshare the only place to get this? I am behind a firewall.

Give this a read. I have MS VC 1.6 working just fine on my Jabra BT250 after following the instructions.
you can ignore the first part about removeing the cybertron dialer or whatever.

I'll try it. Thx for the tip. I am not sure if this only works for 8525/TyTn (I do have the TyTn II/Kaiser)
Edit:
Tried. Sorry, did not work. Oh well. will see, but for now I wil stick with the AT&T ROM.
Hi,
there is something weird about that fix:
when the cab is on the kaiser, you tap on the file to install it.
you believe it's installed but in program files , you may find
a "kai6492_hotfix" shortcut, you tap on it and the choices are install or exit
it's seems there an identity check to be sure it's on a kaiser
"module id is kais(required kais)"
then if "equal" "ok" then install
and soft reset needed
why two install required ?
the kai6492_hotfix is still in program files after that
and last VC1.6 was working on my bt headset(but the voice recognition succeded about only 10%,i think because of audio quality when i am speaking) but i could ear vc1.6 replies ou questions)
now it is not working anymore.
when i click on the button(headset) before it was launching voice command as the harware button (assigned to it) could do it
now the same button launches the phone dialer(as i was tapping on "call"(green phone)).
ps; since that hotfix, i haven't been able, any more, to install btIO-0.6-wm5 cab
Deleted cause not worth it....

MMS Problem a lot of people experienced this.

MMS are not coming until I won't wake up the phone. This is very annoying issue.Sometimes it wakes up but more often doesn't. I'm using original newest HTC rom 2.03. Any solution and opinion for that ??
This is a known issue which HTC fixed with a new ROM 3 days ago (16/01/2009) - for network-free/unlocked Diamonds at least:
Improved Functions and Fixes
1. When you launch the Camera while the system is working on other programs, the preview screen may become black.
2. When playing a video, sometimes a portion of the video will be cut off a little bit.
3. Fixes Audio playback problem with the speaker. Specific issues: sometimes the music will turn off and on after 10 minutes, or there is a buzzing sound or no sound at all.
4. Fixes the problem of not being able to receive MMS when in standby mode.
5. When launching music via the Music tab on TouchFLO 3D, the sound may intermittently turn off for a second and come back on.

If your Diamond is network locked the download will not work so you will have to wait for your network's updated ROM.
HTH.
I have diamond sim free unlocked I bought it directly from HTC Distributor in my country.I'm not able to download this rom. What version is it??? -can I take it from somewhere else? I have HARDSPL etc ?
MMS work with the new ROM.
But the MMS notification has no sound and no vibration, even if checked in the settings.
Did you also experience this ?

If you are talking about Polish distribution, seems there is no matching ROM yet. As I am interested in it too, I asked HTC support about date of release for my phone. They said they'll look into it.
I put hardSPL and upgraded to the newest 2.03 rom and MMS are working but I need s2u2 to lock my phone and with that it stops working.tried all possible s2u2 settings , exception,writing to A_C etc. and nothing. I don't wanna rotate my phone,shaking,light lock etc just wanna proper normal keylock like s2u2 does...
