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?

Tomtom Freeze
Hello,
I test the solution for one week ago and all its ok tomtom not freeze, the solution is to use ATIFix.cab (Its a fix for driver ati).
Sorry for the delay.
@++++

htc p3600 or dopod freezing on tomtom
i have downloaded the atifix and its working now as i had problem with mine and its been ok since yesterday , i think that is the soloution

Worked for me!
All,
I had the freezing problem with TomTom (version 6.03) as well. Installed the attached ATI fix and have been good for the past two weeks!
Hats off to you, Sleuth!

Atifix.cab
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

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.

Is there any official solution pour the GPS problem

It is realy weird the diamond GPS

Seems to be Ok with Google Maps

I don't understand what you mean by pour GPS, at my phone its by far the best gps receiver I have ever tried it can compete whit my Pioner buildin Dvd system, the only thing where it lose from build in systems is in tunnels.

Hi Wilsas,
Which HardSPL do you have?
Mine GPs lags a LOT!!!!....and has a poor precision..
When a pass on a place (for example under a bridge), the gps shows me passing on that place 5 seconds after I had actually passed....
HastaSSSS

GPS works real fine for me

My rom is the original from when I bought it I just overwrote the second day whit the same rom version cause I couldn't get connected to Wifi
Rom version 1.37.404.3 NLD
Radio 1.00.25.03
My Gps is giving a fix even whit a cold start whitin 15 seconds at most, ofcoarse my buildin Pioner is giving a fix faster but thats not a real satfix it just remeber where it was when I stoped same whitin a tunel it reads through gyros and the distance where it is and not trough the sat signal, I think at least until the European sat sys will be up this will stay like this and even don't now or the European system will change anything to this.
I don't now on which compoort you have your Gps I have it at 4 and coldn't get it on a other eather whil the bleutooth sync wants to use this poort aswel it was a choice or Sync true bluetooth or fast GPS.

I have written about it in one post - I have two Diamonds (EU version - GPS get fix after 1-2 min and HK English version - GPS get fix immediately!) Strange, but true! I have also find out that EU Diamond works with SIM card change in f.e. Sprite Terminator, but HK Diamond didn't reckognize that change! All on the same ROM, is it so significant difference in hardware versions?...

What is a HK version?
I have a DIAM100...but I don't know what it means...
I also don't know if mine is a EU version, or a HK verwsion...

It is a version from Hong Kong.
Um abraço

So DIAM100 means Hong Kong?
If so, I bought it in Europe, so it should be a EU version...if I flash HardSPL to allow me to install cooked roms, does it change the DIAM code?
And finally: is having a DIAM100 a good thing, or a bad thing?
HastaSSSS
OBRIGADO!!!!!!

My Diamond once lost the ability to get any GPS signal, but this is how I fixed it...
1. Go to "externalGPS" then "Access" tab then Untick the checkbox then hit ok
2. Turn the device off
3. Turn it back on then tick the checkbox then hit ok
It should now find a signal (May take about 2 mins the first time)

Yeah, but the problem is not fixing the satelites, but the lag and accuracy of navigation...
HastaSSSS

i only get "lag" if the dop values are crap. -> high inaccuracy.
And that usually happens in the city when only a few sats can be picked up (4-5), and they are in a disadvantageous position to each other (e.g. all in a line or near to each other with a very small angle)

hi!
since i use radio rom 1.02.25.11 the lag is significantly
less! i'll have to investigate on that a little longer (then
perhaps i will start a thread about radio roms and gps
behavoir), but eventually you too can confirm this...
give it a try!
regards,
markusssssss

I am also the one who's shouted this lag and accuracy error a lot of times in many forums but of no avail. It seems there are lots of people sufferring from this GPS lag. Hope somebody ever could find a solution to it. It's really made the GPS use on this phone useless

I have a HK version and when first used with the standard ROM 1.34 mine lagged to, the same sort of way - going under abridge for exapmle would not show on TT until i passed the bridge. But since updating - first time round to a 1.37 ROM the lag stopped.
I now use TT with the latest Maps available for Navigator 6 and it is perfect a fix in under a minute...

Yeah okay, but most people with a Diamond don't want to use TTN6. They rather use TTN7. Maybe upgrading to the latest radio available could be an option. I did so, but I have to test the gps in TTN7 to see if the lag has become less or not.

using TT7 2 weeks now without lags. works proper and did work proper with stock rom for me.

Hi,
Does anyone that says that the lag is OK now, Geocache? I would go out tomorrow to buy a Diamond, but I would like to use it for Geocaching and I've read on other threads that it is no good because of the lag and accuracy.
Thanks
Dean

I have tested this with a friends device using TT7 aswell and the same version maps - all is OK on his device too

Poor Performance - iGO 8 w/TTS Enabled

Does anyone have iGO 8 with Text to Speech enabled? Does your copy run well?
I have it working, but it is SLLLOOOWWW. The UI lurches, and the voice is choppy. It is acting like the Kaiser does not have enough resources to run it properly (which may be the case). If anyone has it working well, let me know what you did to get it working well (like your SYS.TXT settings, or other).
Thanks!

iGO8 problems
I am running iGO 8.0.0.49545 flawlessly on my Tilt with HPIII M2D December
3rd ROM. I recooked the ROM, but nothing that would effect the GPS. I am running the same radio as you too. IM me if you need anything such as files.

iGO 8.0 with normal voices was always stable for me, but with Text to Speech voices it seemed to crash a LOT more.
I'm trying iGO 8.2 right now, but I can't even get TTS to work on it at all.. Plus some bugs with POI icons... I think I'll be going back.

Bump? Anyone get this working reasonably?

I am also running iGO 8.0.0.49545 flawlessly on my Tilt with HPIII M2D December. Ran with L26 Diamond B6 as well. Here is what I found:
After first installing IGO8, it would go through my contacts (I have 400+) and try to geocache the addresses or something like that. While this was happening, it was mad slow, very choppy. Just let it run for as long as it takes to pop up a 'warning' like 'geocaching complete, failed to import x of y, do you want to see errors?'
It might not be called geocaching, but it is something very similar.
I can't guarantee that is the issue, but it worked for me.

I have the iGO8 running pretty good on my Kaiser, the only problem is that the voice seems to be small, at least smaller than what I saw on Garmin XT or Tomtom 7. Does anyone have any suggestion about this?

I tested TTS on OCN8 (aka iGO8) for PocketPCThoughts just a few months ago. Yes, it was very slow and frequently got itself very screwed up on directions -- correcting itself halfway through, dropping the remainder of a direction, etc.
I eventually just removed it. The 2.1 voices are much smoother.

Exactly the problem I'm having. I wish TomTom would support Navigator 7 for Kaiser.

I just installed the non-TTS voices personally. Although since I updated to 8.3, iGO8 takes about twice as long to startup now. Not sure why.

erm, sorry, I meant 8.3.

IGO 8 ??
and is there any links where we can download the IGO 8 ??
can someone share this
.PM if to sensitive

I am using Igo 8.3 and have been using 8.0 before.
I have stability issues with both versions (freeze/lockup/reboot) that i cannot seem to solve.
Using Dutty's Diamond rom and 1.65.16.25 radio.
Hard reset and only igo installed still has the same problems.
Anyone know what could cause the problem?

Diamond + TomTom = semi-functional GPS (not a lag problem)

I have been using TomTom7 on my diamond for almost a year. First several months it was working fine, just some lags or freezes on roundabouts, which was not a big issue.
Then it started doing this strange behaviour at some occasions: I start TomTom, it finds satellites fairly quickly, I start driving, all fine. Then after some distance it loses coordinates (you can see the blue arrow, but everything behind it is grey and it is not following the route). Sometimes it fixes itself for a short time, then does it again. Sometimes this is all, whatever you do (reroute, restart tomtom, restart phone) it won't come back. Some days none of this happens.
Nothing in configuration had changed, I've been using the same radio and rom for almost a year.
I was really annoyed by this, could not simply rely on tomtom. Now I updated the ROM, and yesterday this happened again
If this was discussed before, please point me in the right direction, most of the threads I found by search were about lags or configuration.

It might be the Quick GPS Programs, I recall having a simular problem where the GPS would work for about 5 minutes then turn off, only turning the phone off then on then running up tomtom again would get another fix, only for it to run for a further 5 mins or so.
I think I disabled the quick GPS in the registry using PHM registry editor or something simular.
It might be worth considering updating the ROM. I'm running BsB's which seems much better than the stock offerings.

I've also had this problem with the latest rom from HTC (regular rom) with the radio 1.09.XX
I've updated to radio 1.15 and the problem is gone.

Thanks for you replies.
I've now updated the radio to one of the latest (1.09.25.23), the ROM was already recent (2.07 Gen.Y). Will test it during the week.
The solution based around disabling of Quick GPS - wouldn' it make the start up time longer ?

I have tried to install this radio, but got "Invalid Device Id" message, 1.09 installed with no problems. The phone is security unlocked, could not understand what was the issue and just moved on .. :-/

Could be error in timezone
Hi all,
I had a similar problem and it appears to be the timezone, by reasons unknown my Diamond was set to a timezone of Stockholm, now that looks ok, but it is not a normal timezone.
I changed it to Stockholm, Berlin, ... the standard timezone and once again I got a fix fast and easy.
The thing that you get a gray screen is that you our somewere in the middle of the earth according to the GPS, you notice this if you could see the coordinates and altitude.
I have iGo in my Diamond, but the problem was the same when using Google maps so it wasn't a problem with the program.
I have also changed my iGo to have a manually selected time zone, because I'm not sure if it might be iGo that made the change for me.
But now all my GPS works splendid, and I have a fix within 15 seconds.

i do have similar problems.. but it only happens when i'm in the dense core of downtown toronto where all the tall buildings are..
I think it's because the tall buildings are blocking the signal somewhat that is why your GPS kept on running out or coordinates and relocating itself again

I am in rural Scotland actually, the only high buildings here are castles which are miles away .. so this must be something different.
Neither it seems to be dependent on the sky nor battery level ...
p.s. testing new radio, so far so good ..

Just some feedback from testing: the original problem seems to be solved, but now I've got something much worse - sometimes TomTom freezes several second after the launch, and nothing can be done apart from restarting to bring it back. Don't know if this is a radio's or ROM's issue as I have changed both. Reinstalling TomTom from .cab did not help.
Anyone had similar experience ?

Hard reset maybe will help

Yes it may, but 3 days before holiday I do not want to be installing everything from scratch. I could try another ROM too if not this.
Tried - atifix, starting with bluetootsh on, wanted to reconfigure GPS setting in TomTom, but can't get there yet ... must be either BT or GPS connectivity

Updated radio to the latest 1.15.25.14 with 1.15.25.35 rilphone, made no difference at all ..

I think I found it - G-Profile service was the cause of the problem. Once I stopped it, TomTom has got 100% starting rate. It's a pity, was a nice small app to have.
