Not trying to start 1000 threads related to TomTom on the phone, but there seems to be a reoccurring issue with people wanting to get TomTom working on their AT&T Tilt. A lot of people, including myself earlier today, were running into issues with most of the posted files working on the AT&T Tilt. We'd get the message about the ROM being needed to be upgraded. Well buried deep in one of the TomTom threads there was a post by d12ag0n49 pointing to http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JZI2MQES (rar archive with password elrincondedey) that seems to solve the problem for AT&T Tilt users.
I have also uploaded just the cab file onto rapidshare without a password at:
http://rapidshare.com/files/62623762/ttn_6_032_8351_HTCNLD.cab.html
This version appears to work just fine on the AT&T tilt. It does not come with any maps and does link to getting the one free map online (although link never loaded for me). Just simple add the cab file onto your Tilt and install away. You'll have a single voice to choose from without getting additional voices.
Hope this helps.

i hear you... but man niether one wants to work for me. i guess im sh** out of luck.
but a question. you say just put the cab file in the tilt.
now in laymans terms i need more! assuming i have not installed anything related to tt where would i install this cab file?
Using ActiveSync you need to copy over the .cab file onto your phone (or maybe you can just save it through your browser on the phone). Once you have got it on the phone, you need to use File Explorer to navigate to the directory you saved it in. Find it and run it and it should install after that. What problem are you getting?
This TomTom .cab installed fine, and now I'm configuring it. I haven't finished, but just wanted to pause and thank you for the Female Eva voice from the NETHERLANDS! Like I understand that!

LOL yea might be a bit difficult, but at least you can see what's going on, right? If someone wants to post up detailed instruction on changing the voices/languages please do!
lol geez i think im going to give up
ok via sync i have "explore" which opens the phone.
1 i have copied the whole file and tried also just the contents...no luck you click on files nothing
2 i have copied the file and tried also just the contents into "my mobile phone"...no luck you click on files nothing
its as if after i copy them into the phone the are useless
the closest i have came is with one of the downloads it came as a install wizard which would extract it. but the phone says i need to update rom.
lets say I have a bunch of maps. how do I installthem so tom tom can see them?
lets say you share those maps...ahaha jk
this is where i need to be. try installing that ver (above links) of tt and then i believe you can use tt home or manually install your self in the proper directory.
i just cant get tt itself to install AAARRRGGG
good luck

you're disconnecting your phone from activesync, then using file explorer on your phone to "click" on the cabs you copied over, right?

If you click on a .cab file in file explorer on your phone, it shouldn't "open" (as in let you see the various files within the .cab), it should simply start installing. Not sure what's going on with you.
For those looking for voices, just google free tomtom voices, there are multiple places to find them (and there are some available directly from TomTom). Once you find the ones you want, you just copy those files directly into the "voices" folder that TomTom created. For me, it's in the root of my storage card. For maps, it created a "My documents" folder on my storage card, and the maps are stored in there. Once you get the maps and voices saved in the locations it expects them to be, you just switch to that voice and map in "preferences" within TomTom.
Hate to gloat, but I got TomTom6 working on my Tilt and it works great. Forget the english voices, go for the Darth Vader one!
A quick google search for "tomtom voices" yields a ton of sites.
I was going to use my Tilt to download Vista SP1 at work the other night since the connection is much faster than mine at home.
I first tried Netfront 3.5 which gave a file could not be read error after about 1 minute.
Next I tried IE. I brought up the page and clicked download. It popped up and asked if I wanted to open the file after it finished. I clicked no to that then selected save as. I direct the file to be stored on my storage card and not the main system memory.
After about 5 minutes I get a beep and it says that I'm low on memory. Now I free'd up 1.2GB and the file is only 726MB. Are downloads saved to temp on the main memory before they finish then transfer to the micro SD?
If so how can I fix this. I have a rather small download cap at home and my jobs internet is ultra fast in comparison to mine. I really want to be able to download files like this if possible. This is one of the reasons I got the phone and I'm now rather disappointed that I can't download larger files.
Any programs out there that manage a download direct to the storage card or some other setting I can change to make this work?
Do search for "Advanced Config", and in that tool there is a way to change the temperary internet file location. I would imagine that the file is first caching itself into that folder (like normal windows) and then trying to copy it over to the flash card.
Man all I get is Edge, I hate you guys with uber fast phones.

Opera 9.5 (beta) can offer this service. You can configure the temporary download folder and the final download folder to be in the SD card. All these settings can be found in about:config, while opera beta can be found on this forum.

Okay I ended up downloading the advanced config. I see an option in there under IE settings that allows me to change the default temporary folder. What do I want to change this folder to though?
@ TrYde I really don't want to install Opera 9.5 (Beta) since it can't be uninstall ed but thanks for the info.
Edit In: Okay I think I got it in the right place. I created a temp folder on the storage card and wrote the directory as \storage card\Tempfiles. I then browsed my files on the storage card. It looks like in the tem folder I created advanced config wrote my cookies,history and temporary internet files into. I'll try this tonight at work and report back. A big +1 to you for letting me know about this program! I can't believe they would put such a limitation into the phone to begin with O wait yes I can.....
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if there will be any way that we can use IGO8 on the Diamond?
I know that for them moment that is a no-no since there is an absence for a SD card, but is there a way that there will be a way around it ???maybe with the modification of the SYS.txt file?
Thanks

the internal 4GB memory in the Diamond is identified as a "Storage Device" so it shouldnt be a problem.
IGO 8 crash with Diamond...Look HERE
How did he test it?
You can run iGo8 only from the original SD-card (copy protection)!!!
It is not possible to copy the files an run it from another SD-Card.
So it will not be possible to use it on the diamond.

I had problems with iGO8 on my P3650 Touch Cruise and i found out that if you disable "Assisted GPS" it will work. I used Pocket Toolman to disable that. I did deleted those two files in the "2577" folder and made myself an shortcut that i placed in \Windows\Start Menu folder. Now it works like a charm. When you don't disable Assisted GPS it crashes all the time. Hope this will help.

I think discussion about illegal software is not really purposeful.
The original poster asked if he will be able to use iGo8 with the diamond.
And the answer is a simple no, as it only works with the included SD-card.

It will work if you place it in the 4 gig space, make a shortcut of iGO.exe in \windows\Start Menu and it will start up and work just fine.

No it will not.
It works only with the SD-Card it came.
iGo8 hast the same copy protection as iGo6 - the program ist bound to the specific SD-card.
Just ask navngo.

This is actually ridiculous: I get a GPS phone and can't install ANY GPS program on it? As far as I know, they all come on SD cards!

its not the hardware manufactor's fault that the software developer cannot write a piece of software to function without a microSD card.

What did you mean by crashes? I have a touch diamond and i have tried to install a version on my device.
What I have done is placed the two folders iGO8 and 2577 folders into the inboard storage of my phone I have then unplugged the phone from the data cable and it then asks me if i want to install iGO, i click yes and it installs, through the instalation, it asks me a unknown publisher wants to acces something, i just click yes, the installation ends up finishing and the program tries to load, then bang nothing, it just goes to the menu screen i was previously on, I then try to access the program through the start menu and programs folder, it tries to execute but then just stops. nothing happens. I have also tried the same thing after a soft reset.
is nthis the kind of issue you were having ?

why don't you try running it by disabling A-GPS using PPC Toolman? The other member claims that with this way, he got it to run using another device though

Exactly, thats what i did and it runs like hell. Sometimes you can go mad when you reboot and get that install again, just delete the two files from 2577 folder.

Yes, but only navngo uses the SD card ID as copy protection. All other progams should function. E.g. TomTom will be included on the O2 version of the diamond.

I couldn't even install that program PPC toolman, i downloaded the link on that page, I put the files on my internal storage and clicked on them through file manager, it just gave me an error message.
I even put the files in My device section of my hard drive and still nothing.
TBH, i have NFI what i'm gonna do next.

i clicked a few photos and saved them on memory card. when i try to copy them using the explorer in active sync onto my computer, i am unable to do so. a prompt does appear showing files being copied from 100MEDIA to desktop computer, but they dont get copied. or are they being coped to some other location??
If you did a drag-n-drop, they'll end up wherever you dragged them to. I do that all the time and that's how it works.
the same thing happens even if i drag n drop
makes no difference
what happens if you drag & drop to the PC desktop?
it shows the converting and copying pop up
but nothing actually gets copied

Activesync is sooo slow anyway. Just pop the MicroSD card into a reader. This will save you a ton of time.
or u can just use card export or wm5torage
these above programmes will allow u to use ur pda as USB Flash Memory
run a search to find them

Hmmm... it is supposed to work, and it does for my Tilt with no problems at all.
Have you tried plugging into a different computer and hitting cancel when it asks to set up a partnership? Then, click the explore button in the ActiveSync window and try to copy the pics.
At least, this would let you know if it is a problem on the phone or the computer side of things.
Has anyone noticed that if any file is deleted from WinMo side, it eventually ends up in the recycle bin on Vista Side. This happens even if they are disconnected or even if vista is turned off.
Thanks
Ram
dont work?
Does anyone else see that behaviour? Me not, you are sure that you are not deleting a mapped folder or something like that?

If it works with vista turned off, and the deleted file is not cached at another position, wm needs hdd access and the path where recylce bin is stored.You could check hdd access by listening to the spin of the hdd or maybe see a led.
You have a special rom or changed something, you have a inserted SD card?

I don't have special ROM installed. WM doesn't have access to SD Card. Let me try to listen to hd or look at hd led next time when I am near my shift. Currently I am away from it on a tour. I am using thaihugo's version of ROM.
Thanks
Ram
I tried it with thaigos rom too, but still dont get this behaviour. Probably you see the file in the recycle bin because of a synchronisation of files between WM and Vista, if you delete the file in wm, the sync just delete it in vista part too.

It is possible. The other thing i noticed is the Harddisk led flashes whenever you soft reset the windows mobile. Also if you notice program files folder on Vista side has a folder called HTC and under that you would see another folder called SnapVue. This would get replaced with newer SnapVue folder whenever you reinstall ROM (WinMo). Of course this is an empty folder.
Thanks
