hi all, well i finally had the courage to upgrade to wm5, i am overall really glad i did it however there are some issues i figured u might help me with.
1. i cant seem to find the device info (the one that shows the radio version ect...)
2.) i heard that wm5 comes with microsoft voice command, however i cant find it either.
3.) when i connect to the gprs i have to softreset to shut it off i was wondering if there is another way to shut it off without reseting.
thanks all
1. You need to see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27614 and the file you are looking for is ba_wm5_fix_v1.rar. This adds Device Info to your control panel as well as other apps like the ability to turn down your screen brightness, etc and some reg fixes to help speed up the little beast. There are some other files there too like a patch to get the camera working.
2. You heard wrong :roll:
3. Afraid I cant help you with as im having problems atm just getting my GPRS to connect, let alone disconnect. But this I can wait for since I have wireless access at home and at work.
Hope i've been some kinda help.
EDIT:
3. Got my GPRS working and I can disconnect be pressing and holding the call disconnect button for a few seconds.
great thanks a lot much faster and all the errors seem to be solved cheers!

Did you set up GPRS for O2 ? I'm getting the error "UNKNOWN APPLICATION" when it tries to connect for me. Is that what you had?
Thanks
Now if we could only figure out that damn b/t problem.....LOL

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...

Hey your right, I turned, the data connection off and it's Ok now.
Thanks...

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.
Just a few days ago I had to set my clock forward an hour for day lights saving time, but on my Kaiser the clock didn't change automatically. So I went ahead and changed it myself.
Now all my appointments are ahead an hour. How can I fix this?
I tried to change the appointment manually, but when I try to edit it, it says the correct time. (I.E appointment originally at 10, because that I changed the time it says 11 now, but when I go into edit the appointment it says 10, but outside on my homepage and calender it say 11.)
The fix is discussed in this thread:

BT exchange folder
is there anyway that i can get my bluetooth exchange folder to work?? while we on the subject of BT
Hello peeps
Newbie to the diamond and windows format on phones so please be gentle,
How can I get my diamond to receive files pics etc via bluetooth? every time I try I get unable to connect on either my nokia or my laptop, but I can send no problem from my diamond.
Thanks
Glenn
You have to "open" your phone for incoming files. Have you tried that?
Go to Start -> Settings -> Comm Manager and activate bluetooth. Then click settings -> Bluetooth (still in Comm Manager).
There is a tab called Mode (or something?, second from the left). Both of the options there should be checked.
Now you should be able to find your phone from your computer and send files to it.
When sending files from your phone I think it automatically starts the bluetooth, sends the file, and then closes the bluetooth.
Hope this helps
Thanks
Just tried that, the 2 boxes that are checked say, turn bluetooth on and let me be visable, still didn't work, my laptop connects to my diamond asks for pin code, enter same pin code on both devices, my pc goes to send but is unable to. exactly the same when trying to send from my nokia, any other ideas please.
Thanks Glenn
Start - Settings
Connections Tab
Beam
Check - Receive all incoming beams
Give it a shot.
All the best
Welldone mate thats the one
Chuffed to bits now
Glenn
Happy to help
When I updated S2U2, I would plug my phone into my computer and the screen on phone would go black. I knew the screen was supposed to be the one you normally get that asks whether you want ActiveSync or Internet Sharing. So, I just press at the bottom of the screen and the "Done" button would appear and everything would be fine.
At some point, I must have hit "Always Do This in The Future" or what ever it says and switched to Internet Sharing, then hit Done. Now, whenever I plug my phone into any computer it defaults to internet sharing and I cannot use activesync explorer at all. I thought about just reflashing the ROM, but realized, my computer does not recognize the phone as being connected.
How can I turn off the Internet Sharing default?
Thanks. I haven't been able to do squat with my phone for a week.

Try this :-
SETTINGS--CONNECTIONS--USB TO PC
MAKE SURE THERE IS A TICK IN (ASK ME FIRST ABOUT USB CONNECTION)
Hope this helps !!!!

I was hoping. But nope. It was checked. Thanks though.
But I unchecked the OTHER box that enables faster data sync. That fixed it right up. Thanks.

Glad you got there in the end
Turns out it's not entirely fixed. On my Windows XP computer at home, it connects fine, but on the Windows 2000 computer at work, it still won't connect. I think a lot of these problems can be fixed by reflashing the ROM, if I could get a connection on the computer. I do most of the futzing on my phone at work, so you can see why this would be an issue.
