Problems with TomTom 5.21 freezing on XDA 2i

Hi All,
I have an O2 XDA 2i using the newest version of the ROM off o2.co.uk's website and I am having problems with TomTom 5.21
Every time I get a voice instruction it will then lose the GPS signal for up to 2 seconds afterwards. (Annoying if you are driving in an area you don't know that well (hence using GPS...) and you don't know for instance exactly which the 3rd turn off a roundabout is as the road isnt clear)
Also periodically (approx once every 30 to 45 mins but sometimes more often) the whole phone will just freeze, no buttons not even the power button works and I have to reset the phone. Obviously not easy whilst driving around.
I am using a Holux CR-100 GPS car mount,
ROM Versions are as follows:
ROM Version: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM Date: 01/27/05
Radio version: 1.00.00
Protocol version: 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.11.169 WWE
TomTom reports the following on it's "Show Version" screen:
PocketPC device
App version 5.210 (5430)
Free RAM: 31.8 mb
GPS driver v1.20
Map: 'Great-Britain-Map' v562
Language: English UK
If there is any other information which might help please let me know. Hope that perhaps someone can help me???
Thanks in advance

hi what you need is a faster sd card it is a known fact the the xda2i has speed issues ,we seem to have come to some agreement that the transcend 80x card is the best around ,well it was for me ever since i have bought it my lockups have decreased by about 98%

Also you have the known-to-be-buggy .169 ext ROM AND the very basic radio stack ver 1.00
You would be much better flashing the ExtROm to .162 (either with the O2 stuff or without) and the latest (& more stable) Radio stack 1.04
There are other posts on this in the forums with all the links )
here's a link to a modded rom like I used:
ftp://xda:[email protected] XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.04.rar
if you want the different flavours, just ftp into the site & pick the one you want, either with or without the O2 bloatware stuff, the ftp username is xda, pwd xda.
It's easy to do: I took mine from the exact flavour you have to .162 & radio 1.04 & it;s much more stable now, no TT 5.21 probs at all and better BT support as well 8)

hope this helps

Morning,
Thanks for your help - I downgraded the ROM and upgraded the Radio stack and TomTom still crashed. Must be the SD card - will be nipping down Maplin at lunch and buying a high speed SD card - hopefully sort out the remaining problems.
Interesting observation... since doing the above mentioned upgrade the power light flashes green even when the phone is switched to flight mode - is this usual?
Cheers

Actually looking at Device Info, it's not downgraded the ExtROM, but it has upgraded the Radio:
ROM Version: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM Date: 01/27/05
Radio version: 1.04.00
Protocol version: 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.11.169 WWE
I used the modified ROM that you had linked in your post - did I do something wrong?
Thanks in advance

Cruise problem (french rom)

Hello,
I've just buy a HTC Cruise and I see a little problem:
the camera button doesn't launch any application. When I push it, it activate the light on keys but it doesn't launch anything.
But if I launch an application that use this button (camera or media player), it works !(it takes photos and if I affect it to zoom in windows media player it works).
So I don't think that is a mechanic problem, but I want to know if it's a software bug...
If you have some information about this, please help me.
Thanks
Htc Cruise
- ROM version: 1.25.406.1 FRE
- ROM date: 12/12/07
- Radio version : 1.58.21.23
- Protocol version : 25.65.30.04H

Just in case you haven't tried...
... try pressing the button all the way in. I didn't realise how far in the button goes, as it has two stages.

Thanks for your response. But I've already try this, but no effect...
Is somebody in the same case ?

This button is a little bit hard for me too.
But when application is started (after a big push on the button) there is no problem. (two stages for take a photo)
I have created a quick launch camera application in my 6 sides cube, for not to press too much on...

YES !!!
You're right. I'haven't see that in manual but it's true: this button is hard !
Thank you

Perhaps someone with a valid O2 serial number could download it?

I have downloaded the update. I don't have any webspace to upload it to though. if somebody with their own site would like it to host i will send it to them.

if people are interested here are the version numbers:
ROM Version: 3.29.206.0 WWE
Radio: 1.65.16.25
Protocol Version 25.83.40.02H
CE Build 19212.1.0.3
Other than the change in build numbers it seems to have all the same stuff as the previous version did. No real change in look or performance.

thought i'd point this out for any1 who cant get on the o2 site
"Please note that if you already have CoPilot satellite navigation software on your Xda, read this installation manual before upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.1"
and it links to http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/copilot6live.pdf

found a bug already. the "Meters" home screen plug-in does not support SDHC cards. it says my Kingston 4gb card is full even though it only has about 900mb used in place of the amount remaining it shows lots of characters that go off each end of the display.
TOMTOM 6 and 7 both work perfectly however, GPS lock is as quick (20 seconds cold) after downloading Quick GPS.
Most importantly broken sword plays OK too.

ACtually the meter is showing how much you have left...if you click on the meter button it will show a % instead..... it shows the % free

Click to expand...

Of course not. Please upload ROMs / Radios anytime you want. Just no .cabs please

I installed this and I'm seriously regretting it, bluetooth worked perfectly before the update, and now it doesn't seem to be running any services, it can't receive but it can send, anyone else had this problem, I've waited patiently for this official update but I'm getting very tempted to just use one of the custom ROMs here.

No MMS: Dutty's Dual Touch WM6.1 WWE

Here's the story:
Unlocked Tilt
Dutty's Dual Touch wm6.1 Rom (Build 19716)
Rom Date: 03/22/08
Radio: 1.64.06.04
Protocol: 25.70.40.02H
Arcsoft MMS: 5.0.31.7
All of my settings are perfect (I took screen shots of my settings from my Hermes).
I try and send an MMS... it appears to be working and then freezes @ 90% (everytime)
I've done damn near everything except a hard reset -- (i'm saving that as a last resort due to software registrations and inconvenience) -- I've seen people with similar issues here in the forums, but no posted solutions. Almost as if the problem got fixed. Any solutions?

You did not follow the rules...
thread closed.
Post this question in Dutty's ROM thread please.
