WM5 - Slow Changing of Input Methods? - General Topics

I upgraded my phone from an iPaq 6300 running WM2003 to an XDA Atom Exec running WM5. I am happy with the upgrade except for a few things, one of which is the sluggishness in changing the Input Method.
On my old Ipaq there was an arrow tab letting you instantly click on it and switch between Transcriber, Letter Rec, Block Rec, or keyboard. Here on the Atom you click on the input method icon, the tab appears, then you click on it THEN it takes forever for the menu to come up to select the changes.
Is something amiss here? Or is this really how slow WM5 changes input methods?

Bump? To the Top.

Funny.. I just added this to the prophet wiki... this solved the same issue on my prophet. Maybe it'll help for you:

A hard reset solved this problem for me... Of course, make sure you've backed up all you need before doing so

PhonePad/IntelliPad keeps breaking

Under WM2003se on my XDA2 and XDA2i it keeps breaking, and causing screen corruption when I reinstall.
Under wm2005 it's perfect.
Any ideas on this?
On my 2i the intellipad works fine most of the time, but then after so long it doesn't appear. If I try to change to the default keyboard then the icon in the bottom right changes, yet the keyboard does not appear. Similarly if I then try to change it back to IP, the default keyboard icon remains and I have to soft reset.
I'm on an o2 xda2i, but now using the iMate 1.11 WWE ROM and it happened to me again last night, so it's not the 1.10 ROM in itself.
Ant
Yup same for me, except sometimes I have to actually reinstall from the cab file
Works perfectly well under WM2005 in an XDA2 though.
I wonder if it's a specific application that causes it to break?
OK it's broken again, and no amount of soft resets, or re-installs of either the v1.0 or t-mobile customised pad will get it working again.
If I could get that working perfectly, I would be able to give up WM2005 for most things, and use my xda2i for practically everything.

Too many resources are being consumed by Today plug-ins, other SIPs, etc.
I removed some Today plug-ins and lo and behold, my IntelliPad re-emerged!
Woohoo! Leave it to a PPCT guy to come to the rescue!
I could kiss you! (in a manly non-gay way of course)
It's worked, that was one of the main things that stopped me ditching the XDA2 with WM2005, now I am quite happy to use the XDA2i with WM2003se with intellipad
Thanks for replying here or I would never have seen that

Vox and TomTom

Anybody know / tested if TomTom works on the Vox? Which version in that case?
I know that 5.2 works! I also heard that 6 works with some tweaks

or it's another one?
many thanks
i use now a tomtom 6.030 but i can't use a scroll for make a choice.
did you upload a link for EMULç please
Just installed TomTom 6 for PPC, and it worked fine on my Vox. You can do everything with the four way button, and the softkeys. I did not need to use any fake cursor or anything. I have a standard tomtom gps though, so the settings for gps were pre-configured.
Yep using 6.030 (8320)
The tricky part was to setup TomTom, now it's running smoothly.
1st) Install - install was not working so the option was to copy correct files from PocekPC version. After that no problems to run TomTom.
2nd) Set up GPS or multiple maps, generally when you have to choose from list there is no option to use D-Pad. For that purpouse I've used fakecursor with xbar3. When "in TomTom" I've called xbar3 and from there fakecursor to setup GPS and correct map. Of course you need to setup xbar3 to have FakeCursor link in there. For GPS you need to assign COM port in Bluetooth settings.
Pain in the a** was that I was not able to switch fakecursor off becouse none of the buttons (except D-pad) were responding. So to switch it off I've had to remove battery. However this is only one time job since after setting things up you can use your keyboards only.
3rd) Small glitch while using TomTom when you need to "Cliclk" you need to use left soft key - action key on D-pad is acting like "double-click".
Uff... took some time to do it.
Now
Kusnier
Hi, I could make TOMTOM 6 work, but I just can't use it because the keyboards don't work properly. Neither the phone keypad nor the QWERTZ keypad (it's a German vox).
I can't select in the lists ans I can't correct input-mistakes because I don't have a backspace-button.
Is there any way making TOMTOM work properly?
And another thing: how can I create a shortcut in the start menu? And how can I create shortcuts on the home-screen?
Thanks,
Cheesy

Thanks for the info! I've tried to install by copying the files from a PPC memory card to the Vox memory card and then execute the cab for tomtom 6.03. The installation then dies on me...
When you say "copy correct files from PocekPC version" do you mean only the files from the \program files and the \My Documents folder? Or are there more files in the windows folder?
//Jerry
Ooops, I tired to copy the stuff in \Program files\Navigator and \My Documents\TomTom\ ... And it worked!
Thanks a lot you all!

Does the 4 way button work when selecting an address (up / down) and does the 4 way button work when browsing the map (up / down) , it only works left and right for me. Which version of tomtom are you using and are you using the E650/HTC S710?

hmmmm - pretty crap solution though.
At the end of the day ttn6 is PPC software not smartphone and it seems tomtom have no plans to release a smartphone version!
The other thing that pisses me off about tomtom at the moment is, if I do decide to upgrade (upgrade - thats a laugh - buy the product again) then I also have to "upgrade" (buy) all of my USA maps again too.
It seems to me that they are focussed on their all in one units and really couldn't give two hoots about us mobile/ppc users who have been with them for a long time.
At £75 for the software (all of Europe) I am going to give Route 66 mobile 7 a go. Hopefully it will be bye bye tomtom

I've installed TTN6 with a PPC emulator and copying the files to microSD card and I think it's working great on my S710 except one thing:
The display switches completely off after 30sec like when the phone is in standby mode on the homescreen.
I'd like that TTN6 doesn't switch the display off when it's running.
Don't you experience this issue? And has someone a solution?

The Official WM6/TomTom Thread

Has anyone managed to get tomtom working on wm6?
I cannot for the life of me work out how to stop it crashing after about 20 seconds of it running. Ive tried 5.2.
Well, TomTom 5.2 runs smoothly on my Tornado, using the Fortuna Clip-On Bluetooth GPS receiver. No crashes at all!!!
A latest PPC version of TomTom 6 Navigator (V6.201.7160) works perfect on my SP5 w/ WM6 or WM5.0 before, but the virtual mouse SW i.e. FakeCursor should be used with occasional conditions.
Its really stronger than TT5.
Heres the original package of TT6 (delete the .cfg file unless u like the chinese interface)
and the crack
Enjoy!

How does Fakecursor work?
Everytime i tried to use it, i got problems with the backlight of display.
i cant thank you enough.. thanks for posting this!
what maps work with this? i need a great britian map.
also its very slow, the black screen and red hands splash screen stay on for a good 30 seconds.
i spoke too soon.
it hangs on the screen with the arrow after the hands. like its crashed.
i think i have a memory problem.
i'll try overclocking.
overclocking works. ive managed to get to the screen where you pick your langauge but there is no cursor to select anything!
ive pressed every button and moved my joystick in every angle and i can only change the volume and not pick a language therefor not go on to set up the rest of tomtom.
this is driving me mad
Same problem here. I've managed (after about 30' of waiting, screen after screen) to reached the Time Format selection. Couldn't go further!
Lanny, are you sure that this version runs perfectly?
i cannot get fakecursor working
Guys u should create a shortcut of FakeCursor as long_camera.lnk (or any other button u like) in windows root w/ FakeCursor.exe, NOT in storage card.
Otherwise u cant do anything after TT's logo screen.
This version i posted runs pretty good on my SP5 w/ North American map v.665.1294 for 4 days after i installed the WM6 OS from jm012a9749.
Anyway,its a PPC version,so u must use FakeCursor to change lang., maps and edit the address when u input the wrong one.
You can press hold the camera key to call out the FakeCursor anytime when u use the TT. If u wanna stop it, u can press the home key to go back to the homescreen and press the back arrow to go back to the TT's screen, then the FakeCursor will be cancelled automatically.

FakeCursor for Smartphone
This is the FakeCursor w/ shortcut i used on my SP5, try it.
thanks i got another cursor thing working called sphelper. when ive passed all the settings i cannot get bluetooth talking to tomtom with my gps reciver.
'no gps signal'
aha, u should add a new device in phone's bluetooth setting first and create a new outgoing com port for your GPS reciever. After this step, a new com port, usually com6 will be added in TT's bluetooth setting screen. Well, choose it and enjoy!
thanks a lot
i wonder if tomtom will release a smartphone version of tomtom 6 in the not so distant future.. or is it pda only from now on.
I think its no chance to get a separate smartphone version even was told it surport PPC and smartphone platforms with one software when the TT6 was unveiled last year.
I hope the all new TT7 can surport smartphone exactly.
Tomtom 5.20
I had the same problem (Not function TOMTOM 5.20) and I have it solved. Only problem was missing file "CurrentMap.dat" in folder "\\\WinCE Device\My Documents\TomTom\".
TomTom 6 with WM5 & WM6
I read throughout all the postings to find a solution. I installed TomTom 6 v 6.010 (and had it running fine) on my original Tornado (SPV C600 running WM5) using the method described in earlier posts (copy the files manually to the device) I was able to plan routes. No issues here. However, after installing the WM6 rom (and following the same process to install TomTom) the following happens:
- TomTom starts with the black splash screen/red hands
- I get the green warning page where you need to click "Agree" and immediately, the program quits (no time to press the Agree button) and a message pops: "Your device is incompatible with TomTom NAVIGATOR"
Now what is interesting is the following:
- If I revert to WM5 (original Orange ROM) and do the same steps for TomTom, I get the exact same behavior (same message:Your device is incompatible with TomTom NAVIGATOR). BUT if I apply the patch send by Orange Security Unlock (Cab sent by orange for my IMEI), it works fine.
- So, I reinstalled WM6 and tried to apply the same patch, it will not apply and comes up with an error: "You cannot use this CAB file with this device". I thought the reason was maybe because the operator was not showing. So I used TyphoonNBFTools to put back the original operator and reflashed. Same error when applying the patch
_ So next step was to use the change in registry found on spv-developers. That change does an application unlock but still does not allow Tomtom to run. There might be other registry settings that prevents this.
Has anyone found a solution?
Thank you
I have the same problem when i installed TomTom6 in my new WM6 OS first time.
But, after i changed following registry values, everything was fixed. Try it!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies]
"0000101a"=dword:00000001
"0000101b"=dword:00000001
"00001001"=dword:00000001
"00001005"=dword:00000028 (or40)
By the way, i used the V6.010 at first, now the latest version V6.201 works smoothly on my SP5 w/ WM6 OS.

Which release I should take to upgrade (WM6)

Hello out there,
since WM6 is available for my Qtek 8310 I would like to update to WM6.
After a short look here in the board, I see a couple of threads "Release WM6 .... "...
My question now is; Which release I should take? In other words, which one is the "best" ?
Thanks in advance,
Kesa
You should consider these 2
Andot PEE or HTC Edition
Basically HTC Edition is based on Andot PEE with some HTC themes and stuffs only
please apologize my bad english
So the HTC Edition has more stuff ? this one ?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321408
If yes... there's written under "removed" "office mobile" and so on... but what if I want office mobile or for instance the windows wireless manager ?
office mobile is removed coz you can install it yourself via the cab file into the storage card, saving up space on your main memory, same applies to the remove stuffs
okey understood
Well... If I take the Andot PEE version, I can install by myself the apps I want? - and install the HTC Version's apps too ?
[GUIDE] Upgrading HTC Tornado to Windows Mobile 6
Karhoe's guide to convert a Tornado to WM6 can be found at :
http://karhoe.byethost33.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=21
I used this wonderful guide to convert my T-Mobile SDA to WM6 last week and it worked like a champ. Everything went well. I had two minor hick-ups that I was able to resolve with research on this web site. As Karhoe pointed out the Office cab files are included in the "Extras" donwloaded and used at the end of the upgrade process. I'm very pleased with the WM6 upgrade.
Everything seemed to have gone well using andot's WM6 PEE, but after a few hours, my backlight on my phone starts behaving badly. I set the backlight to turn off after 30 seconds, but it will just basically turn itself off after about 5-6 seconds without any type of dimming before turning off.
If I go back to power management and set the backlight time to something else, that setting will stick for about a few hours, and back to the same backlight problems mentioned above.
Anyone else have this? I followed karhoe's tutorial exactly, and everything works well besides the backlight issue.
Thanks.

TomTom 7.915 (9196) works on smartphones

It seems that with this new build of TomTom 7 smartphones are supported now !!!
The problem with earlier releases was that you couldn't scroll down to select the second, third etc line. This now works. Great news. but...
I installed it on a HTC Tornado (qtek 8310) and it works fine. The problem on the S710 is again the backlight going off after a while. Dit anyone try this new version already and do you have the same problem with the backlight?
I know there was a program called Kahuna TTn6 Focufix.cab to keep the focus on the program. maybe this works? I will try to find this program and see if it helps. Maybe we have to modify the key HKCU\Control Panel\Power\Display again?
I hope some of you can help me find a sollution, so we all can use the newest TomTom version on our Vox !
I found the TTn6 Focufix.cab, but this doesn't work.
I did find a workaround: I set the display time-out when on ac power to never. This works. So when I am in the car the battery is charged and the display stays on.
TomTom 7.915 on Fireburner custom ROM 1.0
I am using TomTom 7.915 since I install the custom ROM from fireburner.
This release works on S710 but with same limitation/problem, but you can select the different icon of the menu without any problem. The navigation can be vertical with the phone close, or horizontal if you have the keyboard open.
These are the Four main problem I have found, and the solution I have use to work around:
1. Backlight going off. When I am using it I plug the phone with the power supply, otherwise battery go away immediately after you arrive at destination or when you are close to it. I solve this problem in the "Settings"+"power Management", and select "never" in "Display time out on AC"
2. Backlight always on after use TomTom. I run an application free that you can download from http://www.tgmaker.com/mobile/
3. Input a destination. The two keyboard of the S710 works, but only with number when present. I means that with the number keyboard TomTom take only the numbers, and with the Qwerty will take the letter if they are alone and the numbers if on the key have both. Same problem was in Opera mini, and you can solve in the menu settings.
Sol. A
I solve this problem saving a contact with the address, and select the destination to contact.
Sol. B
You can browse all the city and the street, you must have a lot of time, or if you know the ZIP code the search became faster.
Sol. C
Fakecursor works but are more the disadvantage that the benefits. When you run it you can use only it, and all the shortcuts with the keyboard doesn't work. I prefer plan the destination and recall them after.
4. Selection: When in the display you have only two possibility there are no problem, but when they are more, the option in the middle are difficult to select. I have find the possibility to select using shift+same key, but I found it very uncomfortable.
Now a challenge to the expert!!
My colleagues use TomTom 7.915 on Experia X1, and you can select all the function using only the keyboard. I have seen also a Touch Pro working very fine with it. The two device have different layout (4 and 5 lines) and the software is working perfectly. I was thinking that most probably TomTom call some driver install on the device for the keyboard layout and allow the software to run properly. My device have a fb custom ROM, and I have a stupid idea which maybe work! If we save the driver of the S710 with the same name of the driver TomTom is looking for the layout keyboard, may be we can use both the keyboard.
I know is a strange idea, but I cannot test since I don't know which driver TomTom is looking for when start up.
Bye
are you sure of number 2? I know that tomtom mobile 5 makes the reg key value HKCU\Control panel\Power\Display if it doesn't exist and set the value to 0 after closing tomtom. I don't think tomtom 7 has the same behaviour. Can you try removing the Display value and see if tomtom 7 creates it again.
number3: I didn't have this experience. I do use another rom. Maybe it has to do with enabling the T9 setting of the keyboard? I can use the number keyboard to make letters and select the right city and street.
number 4: good point. I hope somebody knows this
did some more tests just to be sure:
1. problem is the display goes out after a while. workaround is to set the display timeout in the poweroptions to never when on ac power.
2. tomtom7 doesn't make the value Display after closing, so the ptoblem doesn't exist. (there may be other programs that cause this problem, but it is not related to tomtom7)
3. when using the number-keypad all works fine. when using the full-keyboard there is a problem with the keys also used for numbers (like E R T Y). you get numbers when pressing these keys... I like the idea of whanging the keyboard-layout/driver somehow...
4. I don't really understand what you mean. selecting what?

Dear walram
I am sorry but I discover that I was running the TTN7.910.9185_vga_black for the Diamond.
I download the new version and I confirm that is working on S710.
1. Ok I have done the same
2. You are right for this point, no need tools for the backlight.
3. Number-keypad all works fine in this version, problem with the qwerty keyboard is still present.
4. In version 9196 the graphic is totally different, in not just a matter of resolution and I believe was developed for specific device. If you press center key pad 6+5 you can see the version of Tomtom , and you have 3 possibility
- copyrigth
- account
- done
I am not able to select Account.
During the installation I was not able to select the correct com port, since look like the cursor was not enable to move, or this version was designed for COM9. I copy the *.exe and *.chk file on the old installation and is fine.
I believe that this version take out from the lolite is the most suitable for the s710. Then finally for who love TomTom, at least they should try it, since interface is almost the same of 5.2 for SP and the overall function looks ok.
If I found bugs or problem I will post later in this section.
Bye
i see what you mean with point 4. I don;t know a sollution for that, but i think you don't really need it for daily use. i could select the right com-port (com 6). installed it on 5 devices already, no problem.
the only bug i found so far is when starting the demo for a route the buttons are switched. so the "ok" and "cancel" are switched. just that you know...
it would be nice if somebody can fix the full-keyboard layout problem... it seems a problem with the s710?
it would also be nice if somebody can write a simple program that creates the registry key to keep the display on when the program is running, and delete the key when tomtom is closed. anybody?

I'm NOT a big fan of TOM TOM but I've tried for the first time to figure out this problem and so far I totally agree with Dom_LC
COM selection is locked IMHO. I've tried to edit navigator.cfg to use COM7.... DONE...but it was useless
then I tried to add COM9 to my Bluetooth outgoing ports...it was selectable but obviously the system was unable to create the port.
I tried also to mix data file with the exe to see wath's what ...useless.
Tried fakecursor and eCursor...they worked everywhere but in the COM selction MEnu.
well, that's kind a strange isn't it? can you use the up and down-button when selecting a city and when selecting a road? are you using version 7.915 and not 7.910?
Sure! and I'l tell you something more interesting also when composing the destination I can't scroll from the vorious suggestions that are indexed along when you are typing (the only that is always selected is the first in the list as for the COM ports)...so the only way is to write the exact name
interesting. so maybe there are more versions of the 7.915 around? something to do with the rom?
anyway i can scroll from the vorious suggestions everywhere. Maybe i should send you my version and see what it does on your vox.
I had the following files:
ttn7.915.9196.qvga_black.cab
ttn7.915.9196.qvga_blue.cab
ttn7.915.9196.vga_black.cab
i installed the middle one.
a did find a bug, so it seems. How do you select a differect country when typing a city? On a PDA you can select the country on the right side of the screen. but how does it work on a smartphone? eg. I am from the netherlands and the only city's i can select are from the netherlands. In earlier versions of tomtom all city's of europe were in the same list. can anyone confirm this bug?
Yep Walram, this bug is on my StarTrek too, TT started in Belgium for me and i had no clue how to change the country to Netherlands, so i navigated to one of my dutch contacts and that did the trick, so, maybe a bit odd, but you could add a fake contact in the country of your choice to end up over there.
Nevertheless....this is an inconvenient bug since it doesn't allow you to travel or plan through whole of Europe
i wonder if the selection of country is in the map or in the application. eg. if we install an old map (version 7 or 6) do you get 1 list with all city's of europe?
so tomtom has some work to do again to fix this bug.
if you remove the mapsettings.cfg in the map-directory before starting tomtom you get the question once to wich country you want to navigate
so, a little, workaround. you also loose your home adres and favoutites i guess...
but it works... just that you know

I tried blue and black version. I think it was black wich did not let me select something with the up and down keys. So try both versions.
By the way installation failed every time on my Vox (Rose v.0.4)
So I extracted the files with win ce extractor, putted them on the root of the SD card and all went well.

I Can Confirm that! Smartphone users can take advantages ONLY from the blue one! And this ends my adventure with tom tom.
