HI Guys,
have just picked up my new XDA mini S - traded in the XDA2s and must say it is a great and stable device.
However, having some problems locating sat nav software for it - O2 do not have any and Tom Tom state they do not support the mini s.
Only difficulty I can see is that it is running mobile 5 and has a mini SD card.
If anybody could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated
Hi,
My best advice: tomtom 5 for PDA or Destinator PDA comes in a box, with software and maps (depending on your budget, either just UK or more countries)
You will then need a good sized blank mini sd card, 512mb minimum i would say.
You will also need a bluetooth gps unit (holux/etam/tomtom etc) as wired units will not work with your new xda mini s as it runs a mini usb port.
Then you bung the cd into your pc, and sync your mini s through activesync, and install the programme via the interface to you device. It will then install maps via active sync to your mini sd card.
Activate the set up on request, Set up the gps unit, and boom job done.
If you need any help mounting your new mini s, have a look at my site, and also other bits and bobs that may be of use.
If you need any help, drop me a PM or reply.
Hope thats of use!

Hi,
Has anyone been able to use the full postcode facility that TT5 boasts it has. I can only find addresses using just the first 3 digits of a postcode and not the seven it is supposed to do.
Please help.
Cheers

Bet you're using an XDA Mini. I installed TomTom 5 on my XDA II, worked fine (had to apply the bluetooth gps com5 patch though). My dad installed exactly the same release on his XDA Mini, and could only see the first 3-4 digits. I don't know why this is.
Install the postcodes to the SD card, then navigate to the root of the sd card and create a new empty directory called tomtom. Basically tomtom interogates the directory to see if there is a tomtom folder, if there is then it looks for the post code dir otherwise it doesn't bother!!! Hows about that for bizarre prgramming!

Sorted Thx
It now works well

Softick Card Export II for Pocket PC turns your Pocket PC and Windows Mobile PDA into USB flash drive.
http://www.softick.com/download.php
Holy crap, this is nice.
But trial version? Please make sure you mention things like this =]
But yeah, installed, tested great. Puts a little icon in your "System Tray" to select between "Activesync" and "Card Reader".
Works on my Magician, connecting to XPSP1 machine. Yes, it had to install drivers but the drivers were native so in about 10 seconds I had access to my SD Card.
Did a quick file transfer test - MUCH faster than Activesync.
This might save me having to carry my card reader everywhere, despite the fact that the cable doubles as my Magician charger ;D
Now check this
change your owner name to
Dcs [RCAPDA]
then see what happen
Haha, thanks, but I've already fixed that little problem ;D
No go with the latest Qtek rom.
It say's you will have to download the newest USB driver ?!?!? :shock:
I discoverd that this one is for WM2003, downloaded the one for wm2005 but won't work either.
Lets see if there is an update some day.
Cheers,

on the download site
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
there are three downloads
1. ZIP Microsoft Windows Installation (English)
2. CAB package for Windows Mobile 2003 (English)
3. CAB package for Windows Mobile 2005 (English)
first one ZIP is ver 2.21
others are ver 2.11
try the zip
and they say
We are permanently developing support for the new devices. Tell us what device support do you need.
try it hope you get some luck
hay Jed D`Lagged tell me the secret
next time i will be careful to mention about trial versions
Unfortunately, it seems only to function in Read-only mode on WM2005, and quite slowly too. (at least on my himalaya)
You can make your phone a USB drive without extra software. I have read that it can be done. Havn't done it yet with my 6700, but did with my 6600 but cant remember how I did it
The WM5 one works a treat on my Universal and Wizard. Or rather,it did untill I upgraded the roms to direct push capable ones. Now I have to disable direct push and kill activesync before switching the card export to 'export' mode. Irritating but still quiet usable.
If you're worried about the trial version you could alway, er, buy it! It's cheep!
USB mass storage driver
i dont know what is this & what will it do ?
USB mass storage driver is free for personal use
http://www.deje.gmxhome.de/software.html
... wrong way around. That installs a driver that let's you plug USB thumb drives into your PocketPC.
Although... I don't know any Pocket PC devices that have a USB Slot A connection?
The Fujistu-Siemens Loox (older model) had a USB host.
Thanks
Thanks
an alternative freeware which seems to work nicely on Himas (can't speak for rest)....

I have an issue with my new XDA IQ smartphone and TomTom 5.2
I've moved from an XDA SP - basically put the tomtom memory card (with 5.2 working fine on the SP) into the XDA IQ.
It all installed fine and I have the application short cuts.
I've got the new IQ to recognise Tomtom GPS receiver.
When I start the application the disclaimer screen appears with the option "I agree".
Once selected Tomtom bombs out back to the "desktop" - the blue tooth that tomtom triggered is still enabled but then when I try and do anything with the phone, its really sluggish and unresponsive. A soft reset sorts this out.
I've tried tomtom support, but I guess that always asking too much
I've used the application unlock as described on this forum to allow any app to be installed, but again this has made no difference.
I guess thats it! - i'll be trying out other methods tonight so if i find a solution I will update the thread for others with similar problems.
Many Thanks!
Ive managed to fix the issue with this.
Created a new notepad text document - entered the path of the map file into the text document
\Storage Card\Great-Britain-Map\
*note - you may need to amend the above location to reflect your installation.
Saved the text document and renamed it
CurrentMap.dat
then use activesync explorer to move it to
\My Documents\TomTom
create the TomTom directory if it does not exsist.
Then it works!
IT WORKS!!!
I was having exatly the same problems with my tomtom.
I had recently updatet my Qtek 8310 with new rom, but nothing worked.
Then i tried, solomons trick, ( a couple of times) and it worked , only issue was there was no shortscuts, but that i created.
Mr Solomon, you're great!!!

I bet im been so dumb, thanks in advance for any help
I just bought an HTC Touch Cruise, and I travel a lot to Mexico, but there is no GPS Maps for TomTom.
I have two options:
1) To find a program that runs on the Polaris and has Mexico's maps
2) To use the Polaris as an external GPS device for my laptop that already as the software with the maps.
Can anyone help me with any of those options?
Aint it possible to use googlemaps? with a free program called QuickGPS (if I recall correctly).
I've been reading a lot on HTC devices, so I'm not 100% sure if its there for touch cruise, but most programs are windows based so u could always try, but u will have to find it for yourself (program) and test it yourself since I do not own a HTC device -yet-
Have a look at Fransons GPS Gate it will port your GPS data off the phone via a number of methods including BT see http://franson.com/gpsgate/ - Mike
also destinator 7 nice programe... just try
Hi, there is a free program that will let you use your pocket pc as an external gps, it's called GPS2Blue, you can get it here: http://users.skynet.be/hofinger/GPS2Blue.html
BTW, I tried destinator 6 in mexico city and it didin't work well, garmin works much better.
Hello.
I went out and got myself a Mini pc the other day. But i don´t have much info to go on about it. It was a spur of the moment impulse buy. I was intentinally only looking for an hdmi cable. But that´s another story.
And i was wondering if there is someone here on xda that might be able to shed some light.
The brand is EZY. Model name is D71. Bought it here in the Philippines.
It´s running on Android 4.2, and i was able to install a few apps last night. But i don´t know what´s under all that plastic, so to say.
The info i have at the moment is what i can find in old online ads:
* 4.0 gb internal memory ( i can only locate 800mb?)
* remote signal receiver
* usb 2.0 input
* Micro sd card slot (up to 32 gb)
* IR Signal Reciever (comes with a remote)
* hdmi cable 1080p
Sometimes listed as "Internet Dongle" or "Wifi Dongle"
Update: As i check "About device" it states D7X. On the network it shows CVTE as manufacturer. Not sure if any of this helps.
Hi, Try this one cvte.cn/product/product-dongle/
That's the only info that I found., sorry
You can also download antutu benchmark it has system information tab, aswell as cpuz both are free from google playstore
