It did it to me today (just once) I restarted tomtom and had no more problems for the rest of the drive. I'm getting a bit suspicious tho, maybe it's not so stable as I thought.
favourites, home etc are saved normally
try and alternative sd card, i had lots of weird problems with tomtom shutting down and general lockups.. New sd now ok
if you get the issue where you cannot save fav's or home location, put the sd car into a pc 2k or xp and right click on the maps folder and check the folders and contents are not set to read only.. had me stumped for a bit..
turn off all your POI's in the menu (dont show them at all) and Im 99% sure the problem will be gone
something's fishy about TT5 and POI's
I had the same problem, and used this patch

which was posted in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=24268&highlight=tomtom
Never had any problems since, using loads of POI's.
Hi neostar,
If this one is working we'll owe you much.... In my case, I was never able to use POI functionality(from the very beginging).
For the rest, indeed, if you don't want to have weird behaviour, stop using POIs...
Regards,
R.
tge problem on mine is with the poi,i can click on all the poi except one.if i click on the cash dispenser one that's when it crashes and turns off!strange?!?!

Switch off POI's !
I also had the same problem, up until recently where everything has been working perfectly, and I have noticed my POI's are actually off. As soon as I switch them on......TT5 closes. :shock:
try having some on but not cash dispenser,then,turn them all off and put the cash dispenser on.that's what closes it for me
POI
Indeed TomTom does not crash th moment hen I use POI (after installing the patch neostar pointed). But now:
1. The routes are not saved after restart
2. The favorites are lost after restart.
As a matter of fact, all the settings that were in place before installing the patch are preserved, nothing done after the patch installation is preserved.
Cheers,
R.
It's not the patch, cause I use it too and my settings are saved!
Good point,
What should be the reason than ???
10X,
M.

excellent, works like a charm, thx
I have the same problem too..
I lose all my favorites e.t.c each time I close down the tomtom.
Any ideas?
To solve the Home/Favourites not saving, make sure every file in your Map folder is writable (i.e. not Read Only)
To solve the crashing issue, download a working POI.DAT file... one of the TomTom cracks included a GB map with a corrupt POI file... there are cracks with a working one.
try renaminmg the 2577 folder to something else
I had a problem with the app reinitialising itself every time I turned teh device on - this soved it

Hi all, a bit of a strange request.
I've recently bought a double din dvd (double height) car head unit, that has bluetooth & gps built in.
It runs win ce 4.2, with a reduced interfrace, limiting functions to gps, dvd, tv, radio, and bluetooth for phone.
it has two sd cards (no usb)
Apparently it can run route66 sat nav software, but I thought I'd try tomtom 6.
You can specify which nav software to run by specifying a path to an .exe file only.
Suprisingly tomtom runs, I get the disclaimer screen, then on press I agree, it displays "no maps found"
It's a long shot but does any one know how to:
a) Resolve the no maps problem
or
b) get access to more of the win ce o/s?
Where did you put the maps to?
Interesting. What radio brand/model are we talking here?
Maybe try inserting hte SD card in the other SD slot? mabe tomtom is looking in the wrong place....
Its a generic brand (from china)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/T258-6-5-Two-...ameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
Good unit.
I tried the maps in various locations (all on the sd card)
1. in the \Storage Card\Program Files\navigator\great britain
2. \Storage Card\great britain
3. \great britain
4. Just in the root.
Any ideas?
have you tried tomtom6 on a pda and found that it actually works?
where abouts are you in the uk?
Yep, I'm copying the installation that is working on my pda to this device via SD card.
I'm in london by the way
nice looking unit there!
I would have a look at the way win CE (which is a kernal that wm is based on) displays the storage card. In WM /storage card/ is a cute name that is given to the removable storage and tt6 may be looking for that specific lable.

Tomtom on wince
Hi
I am having similar issue i have purchased a similar product..
I have used the SD card from my PDA XDAII and I cant even run the application... How did you run the application???
I went into the Nav setup and hit options
The Navi options, which allows to to specify the path of the exe for the unit to run for sat nav.
TOMTOM
I have tried the same but it doesnt load the software...
any solution to the 1st thread these days?
I have the exact same problem as the original thread poster.
Did any one hear about/ solved it?
I can not even run Tomtom
Hi I got the similar unit. however, I cant even run tomtom. I did specify the .exe file to run for the nav. however, it just keeps disappointing to run it.
Heres how its done..
OK gentleman heres how its done..
This post is from another forum... His name is louthefirst on the forum i visit.
(1) Download this http://www.megaupload.com/?d=59W9BLJD
(2) Copy entire contents of Zip to SD Card an a file called TomTom
(3) Insert SD card in T7000 and turn T7000 on
(4) In navigation options screen select
\tomtom\OTHER SOFTWARE NEEDED\miotool
(5) Go back to navigation main screenand select navigate, (this will bring up a keyboard)
(6) In the top left corner there is a little square that hides and unhides the keyboard, HIDE IT.
(7) Go back to the navigation options screen and select
\tomtom\OTHER SOFTWARE NEEDED\RegEdit
(8) Go back to main screen and select, (this will bring up a regedit screen)
(9) Use registry editor go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
EXPLORER
SHELL FOLDERS
My Document
Click on My Documents and it will bring up a little box the bottom box need changing from my documents to \storagecard (REMEMBER BACKSLASH AND NO SPACES) To change it you will need to press the button in the top left to bring back the onscreen keyboad.
(10) Exit regeditor
(11) Go to navigate options and select \tomtom\tomtom navigator.exe
(12) Go back to navigate main screen and press navigate
Follow tomtom setup screen and thats it....
All thats left to do is add your MAP to \tomtom\ on the SD Card (GUAM IS ALREADY THERE SO YOU CAN TEST IT)
hi i have the same prob.
i did what you said in the instructions,and all seemed to work untill i rebooted my system,
it says no map found so i went into my registry and the My Document
has returned back to how it was instead of renamed to storagecard,
anyone any ideas please
ok i have the same unit, i can load tomtom fine, however the map keeps jumping when i drive, when im stationary, its fine.
Whats causing this?????
hello can anyone help with this???
this is the system:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=260250817967&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=016
apparently using Windows CE 4.2
The GPS keeps shifting when i drive so the maps keep jumping... driving me nutz now!
I was looking at getting one of those units for my Octavia, but was worried about TomTom running (or not).
It sounds like it definitely works.
I was really hoping to get TomTom 7 working on it but it sounds like there may be some issues with TT6?
I hope you work out why the map is jumping - do you mean it snapping to other roads which you are not on?
I have that very infrequently with my PDA. If you reset it and get a new satellite lock it cures it. Perhaps your GPS aerial needs repositioning behind the dash to improve sensitivity? DId you check the aerial hasn't come out of the rear of the unit?
it's considered rude to repeatedly ask for help but not reply with your result...
lol, sorry sickboi - i've been in kenya and the free wifi out there dnt really work (even the one u pay for at the hotel too!)
is there a tomtom 7?
i didnt think was a such a thing as tomtom 7 ... can anyone confirm this?
i still dont have the prob sorted sicko, so if u know of anyway i can sort it, would be great.
HI. I´d love to have the s730 HTC home screen on my Vox. Does anybody know where could I get it?
Thx
Ditto that! I also have a 710 and would like the 730 homescreen/theme
Same here
We have tried to use the extracted files posted here earlier but it seems there is bunch of stuff missing...
Any new extraction or guidance would be helpful as well
The file posted here can be extracted : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1732690&postcount=4
I've been able to use HTC homescreen on my vox but I can't get some things to work like the favorite people application and the weather part... In fact only the clock works
Unfortunately I don't have time to look further into it, but it shouldn't be too difficult for the geniuses out there
wont spb mobile shell give a similar home screen?
Isn't it only for pocket pcs ?
It´s done.
HTC Home Screen for HTC Vox :
Found in this Forum under HTC Tornado. Works fine on my VOX. Be sure to install to the device!!! when you install it to SD Card Phone crashes at boot.
Thank you very much Gregory for this great theme.
Truplaya
Edit: Seems the phone sometimes crashes when you insert the sd card. without sd card it boots fine... Maybe someone knows why and can fix this error...
Before downloading you have to notice that this cab can cause a crash and you have to hard reset the phone.
Gah. A hard reset is now needed all because of that cab above this post.
Total crash, stuck in reboot cycle.
A warning to others.
(installed to device, not storage card of course)
Update: Seems that the cab did something to the phone's MicroSD support. Or something. I can boot the phone without having the storage card inserted. Any idea what may have been changed? I'm guessing something in the registry, but not sure really.
Same problem to me schlinkey. But i can boot without sd card and insert it when booted. I added a notice above about the problem. Sorry that you had to hardreset your phone.
Did the Plugin worked for you when you boot without sd card?
I can take some screens of my phone (Vox) with HTC Plugin tommorow if wanted.
Took some pictures this morning.
It's alright, a hardreset now and then keeps the phone running smoothly
When I managed to boot the phone (without having the SD inserted) I uninstalled the plugin. The error remained however, so ended up with a hardreset anyway
All working again now!
Got it installed on my Vox now, currently uninstalling look alike themes and stuff that I no longer use to free up space on my phone now. Thanks for getting the New HTC Theme to work on the Vox. Just ned to get weather plugin working now. I've also got an annoying problem where my Vox with my T-Mobile Sim in says that I am Roming and the carrier plugin says thatI am connected to T-Mobile UK. I'm in the UK and using a T-Mobile UK Sim.

No problem with the Home screen, but I have had the reboot problem with the SD card for ages.
I did manage to get it to boot with the SD card in by doing various things.
When I first had the problem switching to flight mode before a reboot fixed the problem. The after installing some software it would only reboot with the SD card in if I first ran SK tools to clear duplicates in the notification list and selected a home screen which did not access the SD card (including the MRU list) such as "Windows Simple".
When I installed the Office 6.1 update the problem appeard to go away.
Then I installed Facade and so far have not managed to get it to boot with the SD card inserted.
I guess I could uninstall Facade - but I want to use it.
A Hard Reset is too drastic and I don't want to try that - easier to remove the SD card than to spend all day re-installing everything on my phone - no gurantee it will work anyway.
I suspect its a problem with the SD card driver as I have read that later ROM versions fixed the problem.

Sounds like you need Sprite Backup 6

I thought about that - not tried it - I assume it would back up all the registry settings along with the files.
But if I do a restore, I assume it would be back as it was before the hard reset, including the cause of any problem.
Although I suppose it might allow for some experimentation, with the ability to put things back to how they were before any changes were made.
Can someone who has used it give some comments on how useful sprite would be in these circumstances.
Hi all! Has anyone experienced the "My People" application stopping working after a while? After I installed it, it worked shortly, but now when I try to open it, the list flashes quickly, then disappears. This is from both the Home screen, and through the Start Menu. This has happened both times I've installed it. Any ideas?
Thanks!

Just now installed on my S620 Excalibur and seems to work ok.

Hi All,
I have installed Destinator 6/7 (both versions) many times and it worls for 1-2times and then it stops at the first screen and today screen pops up again. The top status bar is destinator but lower half is today screen.
I even flashed my Wizard many times with diffrent flavours of WM 5 and 6. It works hardly once or twice then same problem.
Everytime I hard reset it, it works 1 time and then again the problem is shown.
Has anyone has managed to make any version of destinator to work (either 6 or 7) on any WM??? Does anyone have the same problem with me???
Thanks in advance.
Working on WIZA200
IPL=2.26
SPL=2.26
GSM=2.25.11
OS=2.26.10.2 (using a WM5 ROM)
Hi,
With destinator 6 I never had any problems.
It was working with WM5 and with WM6.
Sometimes I had to stop all other programs to get more free memory.
Did you test this already?
Hi,
I've been using Destinator 6 without any issues on my K-jam. I suggest you to uninstall everything except maps on SD. Then, install it again on the main memory. Also, surf on the Destinator technology site if there's an upgrade or something to your country.
Wish you luck!
Cheers!
hi, i had the same problem that you have now, but only with wm6,
i find out that when i hard reset my device or upgrade a new rom i allways backuped all my pim data using pimbackup 2.5.
then after the upgrade i restored all my pim info, and then the problem with destinator 6 or 7 begins.
the solution for me was that when i backuped my pim data i unchecked an option in the pimbackup called ""binary backup"", then after that, when i restore the pim data ,destinator works fine.
so, are you restoring your personal data using pimbackup?
if so, maybe this is the solution
by the way, i am using a prophet
Thanks for your replies..
Today I re-installed TNT.1933_Prof_HTC ROM and increased pool size to 12 MB. Right now the memory stats are:
Storage Memory Free = 38.8 MB
Program Memory Free = 18.2 MB
Destinator and Maps both are installed on the Storage Card (2 GB) with 200 MB free space. This made it to work for 2 times and again it stopped.
Also, I realized that the program actually crashes as there is no entry of the program in the task manager.
So this has rather become a crash issue with Destinator.
Any insight will be very much apreciated...
And, I use a Bluetooth based GPS receiver.
Thanks.
I don't think it is a memory issue. As detailed in the last post it has some 16 MB of mem free.
joesa: Yes, I also use PIM Backup to restore my Emails/SMS. Do you think that is causing the problem. I'll try to disable the bin backup while restoring.
Thank you for the clue.
I don't know V7.0 but I think it should be very similar than V6. I insist you to install the core app into the main memory and just leave all maps on SD. Then, you can hard reset many times without having to install maps again. I'm telling you exactly what my local support said at the time I faced installation issues with V6.
Good luck btw....
This indeed was a crash issue due to unwanted binaries. Thanks joesa for that clue. After disabling that binary option in PIMBackup the problem disappeared. Destinator is working Fine on my Wizard (Both program and maps on SD).
Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences.

i think so after open and close Destinator 7 he don´t close the speeks after open again, no sound is avaliable, need soft resset for work again.
Only in destinator 7 i detect this, in destinator 6 works fine.

Ok, but is there a solution for us, who do not want to do a hard reset?
I just reinstalled everything on Thursday, can't do it again
Maybe backup and restore PIM without hard reseting, and with unchecked binary setting? Would this work?

i'm afraid that if you don't have a previus rom backup(sprite, spbbackup), before using pimbackup, you would have to hard reset, i never was able to make it work after restoring my pim data with pimbackup(binary)
5thWheel said:
I'm having this problem without doing anything to my PIM. It seemed to start arbitrarily. Is the restore of PIM modifying some files somewhere in a manner that Destinator doesn't like? If so, which files? Maybe mine got modified by some other app and if I delete/manually alter them I can get it going again?
Click to expand...

it took me a lot of time to find out that pimbackup(binary) was the program that screwed destinator(guess it has something to do with databases), what i did to find the program was:
hard reset, install destinator and tried, install next of my needed program and tried destinator, install next program and tried, and so untill i found wich program screws destinator,
sorry i can't help
good to hear that !!!!!!
Would Activesync contribute with the crash?
I haven't any pim backup in my TYTN II and hard reseting the ppc every week is complicated.
Think I'll stop using Destinator.
Problem stills...
Any news????
I have an htc touch pro and installed destinator 7. It worked well for a few days and then suddenly refused to load. It crashed at the start screen. After a lot of experimenting I found the solution. I deleted all my sms-mms contents and then destinator was working again! I believe that certain characters from sms's are the cause, since destinator has a built in facility to send an sms. It's annoying though since each time you have a crash you need to remove your sms contents.
kospan - you're my man due to having the same issue i tried ypour solution and - that's it!!! i'm glad to tell you and all those who having this problem, too, that it's only the MMS - if you delete only all stored mms then it will work fine again too
I'm glad I could help! So only MMS? I guess that is good news because I will be able to keep my sms, which are far more than the mms.
need to delete both SMS/MMS
In my diamond, i had to delete both the SMS/MMS to make the destinator work.
Thank you guys for your support.
I have O2 orbit2 in german and I've been trying to download the QuickGPS update for some months but every time it downloads to 100% and then it says "probleme with signal/conection try aqain later" but it never works and I have no GPS :-(.
Can anybody help?
Don't know if you still have this problem.
Anyhow, same thing happened to me. Tried all the registry imports but it didn't work. Couldn't even change my external gps settings, which were all set to zero. TomTom never found a gps device.
Backed up my phone with spb backup; did a hard reset; verified that gps was now working and that quickgps was updating correctly; restored my backup and finished. All is working now.
This may be a side effect of not having enough free memory on the device side, which causes certain files to go corrupt, i.e. drivers etc.
Hope this helps a bit....
I had the problem as well.
I tried other solutions found in other threads, but finally a hard reset did the job.
Édan's guess that the lack of free memory is the source is likely since my problem occured after i got several messages about too less memory.
Don't know how to name my problem, so...
when I'm writing messages, sometimes screen get to bright and I cannot send, cannot phone, nothing. When I turn off Uni, and turn it on again, it ask me for a password - I don't have any password.
I tried to slow down CPU, I tried to minimize file system cach... still don't know, where's the problem. Now, I think, the amout of messages mayby the problem. So, I deleted half of them and wait, what happened.
Does anyone have similar experience?
I've realised that the problem is caused by outlook (mean sms|emails messanger). The program is named tmail.exe. When I shut this program by taskmanager, the screen get normal and other function too. Even phone (lastly i forgot to write, when I get this bug, and try to open phone, i get error message (this program does not cooperate)).
I found, that this ROM - Tomal (Ranju) 7.7 is made from Wizard ROM - maybe this is the prob.
Does someone know what's happening? And how to get it normal. I think (but have not prove it yet), that after flash it is normal. And couple of days after, all is getting worse. Only what I've installed after flash was SPB pocket plus and Tom Tom 6. No other programs.
i had the same problem in one of the earlier roms i tried....
It can be quite frustrating for sure! Try other roms and see what works, I couldnt find what the problem was and i just moved on to another rom!
San
I tried also TOMAL 8.2 rom. And the problem doesn't dissappear.
Maybe it's collision between SPB pocket plus and WK task manager. So I turn off Wk task manager (which is preinstalled with TML rom) and see what happend.
So... noone has suggestions?
i have seen this in every rom i used. somewhere here somebody even posted photos of his uni while this happened. probably reason for this is a some low-level os bug which lead to this thing, maybe overflow of some cache because for me this happened only when i was typing a lot, no matter which program i used, the result was the same. the only solution i found is to soft-reset your device every hour even if everything seems to be ok at that moment.
