Tomtom Freeze I Have The Solution !!!

Hello,
with the news french rom HTC and the last rom DOPOD tom tom 6.03 is freezing, so i made 5 modifications of the P3600 parameters and now no freeze at all and tom tom works flawlessly. Before posting the solution i will test it until tomorrow to be sure.
@+++

just for information, never meet a freeze in tomtom with the french SFR S300+ ROM
good night

FREEZE
Hello,
Yes that right with SFR 300 but SFR is not the newest rom.
The newset Rom have AKU 3.3.1
@+++

The solution is uncheck all POIs. TOMTOM will not show POIs in the map, but you will be still be able to be advised of radars proximity (or any other POI you want) or select as destination, etc.
I am testing this solution since a week and works perfectly.

download newest tomtom, solve the problem.

And what is the solution??
If TomTom Freezes I just press the green phone button and everythinh is oke again, but it is rather bad...

Yes it works
Thanks

I installed version 6.03 and it works fine now.
I sometimes still get a freeze (about once every 10 or 12 days now) but a quick power off and back on solves this in about 5 seconds. It only happens when starting so I can still trust it in city centres where you really need it.
I recently cleaned some junk files from the tomtom map folder and it has not hung since but it's too early to say if I have a 100% no freezes or not...

I never had any tomtom freezing problems till I deleted my US maps and reinstalled them with the sd card are almost full. so I reformated my sd card and reinstalled the mapset and the tomtom program only and did not have any freezing at all for are 6 hour roadtrip. guessing my problem was caused be the mapset being fragmented because the sd card was almost full when I reintalled the mapset. I don't think this will correct everyones problems but it might help some.

Just to be sure about what we are looking for
I have a TomTom 6.03 freeze with the latest FR GPS ROM…
But it concerns only when I was playing with the menus and settings with TomTom soft (also this can be avoided by switching to another program and coming back when it happens… As clicking the green button for example).
But, when I am not playing with… and I have just a navigation mode… I never had a Freeze.
Will confirm that during the w.e. as I am not using GPS during the week

To stop the freezing just disable all pois alerts on your map's...
you will not seem them on display but still have the sound alert if needed...

I thought there was solution here
The thread started will the solution but the real solution is never given *BUMMER*

I just installed ROM version 1.23.405 but TOM TOM keeps saying 'connecting to gps' but it never does.
Anyone knows why?

Hats off to you, Sleuth!

Sorry guys but I don't know what to do with the Atifix tool after downloading. Can someone please explain in detail? Many thanks!

copy it to your Trinity and run it from file explorer. Then restart the Trinity

Using GPS brings machine to crawl

I have a HTC Tytn II Pro. Everything works great, except GPS.
The CDs did not have any Tomtom application, but I had my own copies of Destinator, Igo 2006 Plus and Mapopolis, along with Map4Pda.
When I try to access the GPS via any of these apps using COM4:, the machine slows down terribly. I haven't been able to get a fix so far either. This morning Quickfix GPS was downloading fine, now it gives connection errors.
I haven't messed with GPS Control Panel yet, but I am wondering if I have a faulty unit, or does the Tomtom 6.032 unlock/change something to make it work.
Has anyone used the unit's GPS without any Tomtom install first? Did anyone experience any slowness using GPS?
Any suggestions? I tried a hard reset and just installed Map4Pda after that, still no luck.

That strange if you dont have TomTom6 in the Application CD.
It is called:
Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716.exe
Check your manual, is TomTom6 mentioned there?
If it is, why dont you contact your supplier and ask?
Btw, I use TomTom6 from CD and it is running fine. Got fix pretty quickly under 30 seconds.

TT6
Seems like TT is not on CDs in north america.
Get it - TT6 works like a charm, fix in less then 7 secs here (use the gps quickfix download) and very responsive - even at high speeds.
No complaints on TT for TyTNII

my app cds had the tomtom app.... bought in vegas (uk plug though)

Please test, some reports the gps lost signal after 1 hour.

My app cd says MEA, so it must be from Middle East/Asia. And manual does not refer to TomTom at all. I bought it through SuperiorGadgets. I don't think it is their fault though, it appears devices from certain regions don't have Tomtom.
With that said, I made another hard reset on Friday evening, first installed Beeline GPS, which got a lock after a minute and QuickGPS was updating fine too. Then I installed my apps, after installing several I checked it again, Beeline was fine. Finally I installed Igo 2006 Plus (June 2007 version) and that is working fine and slowness with GPS is gone away. It makes me wonder what caused it in the first place. I'll install couple more GPS apps and see what happens.

HTC TYTN II GPS (Kais 130) - Got it working.....YES
Hi Guys,
I just bougth this HTC TYTN 2 and it seems ok.
For the GPS, I installed Google maps which did not find any satellites either.
I then copied visualgpsce.exe ( in the attachment) on the kaiser and ran it from there, it got 7 sattelites in less than 10 seconds. after that, google worked like magic. I did not have TOMTOM on my CD either so i could not try it and I am in an area that is not covered by maps from TOMTOM, but i think it will work just fine after this nice warmup.
It seems that the first connection require some clear skies, nice warm up software and some patience.
Thanks and good luck.

I'm in the states, got it from Mobileocity. Came with TT6 on app disc. Works like a charm, finds location within 10sec, no slowdown on system.

Yeah, it worked perfectly on my last journey too (each 1.5 hour).

GPS not working.

Hello,
I am trying to help a friend with a Kaiser and wants his iGo working in it.
Everything seems ok, iGo starts but after some seconds it shuts down. I tried to change GPS port and everything else I could thought but problem persists. Any advice?

Did you try Tomtom before iGo? I have the same issue with google maps. It will seek sats and give up saying no gps signal. But if I run tomtom and then start gmaps it works fine (inside buildings). I would suggest you open iGO outside and check it out. Are you using COM4?

Will check... now he is travelling (Poland) but will call me when he came back.
I did not tried TOM TOM...

find a free program called GPS Test. Set it to Com 4 / 4800. Much smaller than TomTom and certainly an app that's worth keeping on it.
-Mc

the issue is that the internal GPS on the Kaiser needs to be "jump started" there a few apps that do this a free one that is also good is GPSViewer and the others mentioned above. I use TomTom well since it came with my Kaiser and with all that Damn Program memory who the hell cares if I use 10MB to install TomTom and a Map

I have never had problems with starting my GPS. I did a quick fix once and have used it with first Google maps (no problem) then Pocketstreets (again no issue) and finally Tom Tom.
I have never had to wait more than 20 seconds or so for a fix. Make sure you are outside before starting the application though.

TT Navigator 7 randomly loses contact with GPS device

I have used TomTom Navigator 6 on my Kaiser for over a year with no problems whatsoever. A few weeks ago I upgraded to Navigator 7 which supports MapShare.
Navigator 7 works fine, but since installing it, every once in a while the screen colors go black and TT says '"no GPS Device". Sometimes, the problem fixes itself in a few seconds, but sometimes it will not restore connection to the built-in GPS until I do a soft reset.
Any ideas how this bug can be solved? It's quite annoying...

GPS cold start different with Igo and Garmin

Hi guys,
Anyone noticed that when starting the GPS first time for the day and using Garmin Mobile XT, it needs much more time to get fix than with IGO8.
For example this morning I waited for about 5 minutes and Garmin was showing red signal bars. Closed it, run IGO and while opening the satellite info in settings, it already showed good signal. Closed IGO, opened Garmin again and no fix again. I waited another couple of minutes till it fixed at last.
