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!!!

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!
Cheers,
JB
Sorted Thx
It now works well

Hi,
just recieved my upgrade today. 02 XDA EXEC (universal). I used to have a XDAIIi (alpine). Im happy with the phone, WM5 Seems more stable than WM2003 but the only problem is there is no way to browse the files on another bluetooth device. I used to be able to browse the files on my friends phone but now i cant find anyway of doing that on WM5. Has MS removed this option and if so is thee any software that i can install that will allow me to do this.
Also sending and recieving files can be a bit of a problem at times. sometimes other people cant see my device even though im set as descoverable and sometimes i cant see there devices. Normally a soft reset sorts this out but is a bit of a pain at times.
Thanks in Advance
Richard
i think ive posted this in the wrong forum? maybe the administrator could move it to the correct one.
Sorry
Richard
Don´t give up hope!
HI!
I had already given up, because I couldn´t find any other version which works on Wizard WM5. This is THE ONLY ONE. It wasn´t anywhere else.
I repeat. BT FTP (aka Bluetooth Explorer) working on Windows Mobile 5, on a Wizard!
The original came from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2622811
I uploaded it here:

Hi,
probably a rather stupid question but still, bare with me..
i copied a garmin mobile xt (bought version) on my card and hoped it would work on my new polaris,... unfortunately it kept looking for an external gps unit via bluetooth, the problem is i can not delete it no metter what i do, if i try to do it in the phone it freezes, if i try it to do in my card reader it asys it cannot be removed,... (the garmin directory), if i try to delete the autorun from 2577 folder it says it cant but does delete it,.. however it reappeares wher reinserted in the reader..

I don't understand why you should delete it. Better get it working. I´m running Garmin both land and sea navigation on my Touch. Much better than TomTom. There are certain steps which needs to be taken in order for the Touch to identify your SDcard. If you have a bought version it shouldn´t be a problem to ask the Garmin people for help. It works perfectly with the internal GPS.
Good luck!
@andbertina: hehe actually i thought that 2, but when i called them (garmin reps) some time ago,.. first they accussed me of having a pirate version,.. so went home for the box and when i told the guy the number he said yes this was bought with a bluetooth gps and won't work with an internal,.. the new release works though but i should buy a new one as well (although mine has aroung half a year).. and that was about it,.. i'm using tomtom now, and will never buy garmin again..this one that i have was a present..
so when i wanted to delete the file (since it keeps asking if i want to install garmin at startup and even sometimes just like that in the middle of sth) it wouldn't as described in previous post
thnx for the reply

It´s fine that you are happy with your TT but the HTC version has some bugs in voice program that I didn´t like.
I don´t think the Garmin rep. knew what he was talking about. Check GPS-passion forum below and the links for ideas. You are not alone in world with Garmin problem to be solved.
http://www.gpspassion.com/FORUMSEN/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=57782
Good luck.
I can imagine a Garmin representative like that can spoil the fun, but I can tell you imho Garmin Mobile XT is far superior over TomTom. The maps are better and prettier, the voices are better, the indications are better.
hi thanx fir the reply, .. i know how garmin is i had it on may nokia till now, but was not able to upload the maps (again original) and the software was not able to find gps uni since it kept scanning the bluetooth,.. so i decided to go with tomtom,.. if garmin would work than i would probably stick with it,.. unfortunately it was to big of a piece for me to swallow if i put it like this :d ... and for the final act i can not delete the install file as well so it keeps bugging me wanting to instal.. doooh
anyone else ,... pls
Have you checked if the SD card is locked ?
did ,.. wasn't..
anyways, my friend succeded,.. but to tell you the truth, since we were doing on other issues didn't remembered to ask him,.. yet
Hi guys!
tailazoom told me here that tomtom 7 creates a slow refresh of icons after soft resets or long standby periods...
I tried to uninstall it and everything worked well again.
I'd like not to revert on tomtom 6, which don't have this issue, so the question is: what ver.7 makes to create random 4-5 sec. freezes?
Is there any fix for it?
Thanks!

I haven´t any problem with tt7 and tomal´s v8.2.
Go to this url, you have everything about tt.

Good luck!!!
Half fixed!
As I thought, the problem was caused by icons.
I simply created a new folder in \Windows\Start Menu\ called SD programs and moved all the links of sd installed apps there.
No more problems on Start->Programs.
The issue remains when I first access SD Programs. Device freezes for 10 seconds, then continue working.
The only idea I have now is to create an executable with the right icon that simply launches the program... So it would work...
Another little step:
after creating the new folder everything worked good, except while accessing that folder.
So I searched some launcher and I found VJBrisk which is useful to use an intermediate exe.
But when I replace in Start->Programs the links with the ones pointed to VJBrisk, I obtain the VJBrisk icon, not the one linked.
So, how can I change those icons?
The alternate idea was to create an exe which simply execute the program, and that contains the correct icon. Something similar may be made with MortScript, but it seems a little tricky to do...
Any suggestion?
Hi guys
There are loads of TomTom discussions but nothing i have found that helps me. Can any of you help. Before i waiste £28 on a map i cant get at
I bought an HTC HD2
Transfered my SD card over from my Touch HD and tried to load TT 7.14. it opened but didnt see my maps and i got the bluetooth error. So i installed the 7.15 peoplee here talked about, but still couldnt see my maps.
So i purchased new maps from TomTome site, plugged my HD2 into TomTom home 2.7.
TomTom home does not recognise the HD2 so i can not download my new maps.
Can i download my maps manually so i can put it onto TomTom myself, or have i just waisted £28?
Hey Mate i may be able to help,
Basically i had Tomtom 6 on my other xda handsets and transferred it over to the HTC HD2. now i did the same i brought the updated maps and the only way you can put it on your device is via the tomtom home, however tomtom home, newest edition doesnt work with mobiles, you have to download the older version 1.6 which is in small writting under the main download found on the website below
http://www.tomtom.com/services/service.php?id=16&tab=87
I had to contact tomtom cause i had same problem and he told me to do this, they say that HTC HD2 is not in there list as operating tomtom, but i told him mine works fine no problems and it still does, so this will help in getting the new maps on, all i can suggest is try this first and see if it see's the new maps.
what are you trying to do with bluetooth and tomtom to get bluetooth error??
nothing with bluetooth but when i install tomtom i get the usual bluetooth error.
cheers for the advice, i will try it and that you know
thanks

Hi
It is problem with tomtom and bloutooth. But you can by-pass this problem very easly. It dosent matter wich tomtom you install. I have installed ttn7.915.9196.qvga_black.cab and it is working perfect without any problem.
What you can do is!!
1) Install your tomtom as you used to.
2)Connect your HD2 to PC an syncronize it!
3) Open files on your HD2 and copy file name Navigator which is in file programs! copy whole file to your PC.
4) Then you have to unstall tomtom and reboot the phone
5)Then copy whole file as it is on your pc back to the phone!(navigator file)
If you click on tomtom navigator.exe then it will work as it was before. and it is no problem with bloutooth. But if you would like to have on your program list to that you can make short cut, you have to do this!
1) Now it is easy to make a file under progarms: You do such:
Start--- filemanaging---my unit(phone)---windows----start meny---programs
You make a new file. dosent matter the name.
2) copy file name tomtom navigator.exe to this file(look 1) Until here you can do it on your pc . But after that you have to do it on you HD2
3) Click on
Start--filemanaging--myunit---windows---start meny---programs---newfile(or what ever you gave name to).
4)push your finger on only file there by the name tomtom navigator.exe, then cut it.
5) click on up. It is left handside down. Then you are in the file programs.
6) pushyour finger somewhere on the screen.( Just like wright click on pc)
You chose her ;copy short cut.
7) now you can delet that file that is empety. If you dont it is ok.
It is finshed. If you click on start, you will find tomtom there now. If you did what I told you.
Good luck
thank you to both of you.
