Hi Guys,
I want to buy a phone that I can install TomTom on ... I am thinking of the XDA Mini S.
Can anybody tell me if the Mini S is ok to use with TomTom (performance etc) and if so what are the better GPS receivers out there to use?
Thanks.
yes mate. i have a xda mini s and ttn5 with bt77 gps. works perfect. in summer i drove 3500 miles across europe and did not trouble me once. the only thing is avoid picking calls during navigation as it loses gps memory and it is a pain in the a**e to pair it.
last month i fixed ttn5 on mate's minis and so far he hasnt had any troubles.
for the last two days im trying to get ttn6 and will try it then...

I am using TomTom 6 on an o2 XDA mini and have seen no problems. I can take calls while navagating using hands free and the navigations continues minus the voice prompts. The phone itself is fantastic, unless you try to run lots of things at once, but I have never had a problem with processing speed.

I think you might be a bit mixed up with your thoughts though as the XDA mini is not a GPS receiver, nor does it contain one. You have to buy a separate bluetooth GPS receiver.
Hope that helps.

XV6700 doesn't have built in GPS Receiver, you need external Bluetooth GPS Receiver like Holux, or other brand, search on ebay there's bunch of it over there.
I use XV6700 + Tomtom + Holux M1000, works very good.
Thx For Information
do you have to pay for it?
You need to pay/buy for Tomtom (www.tomtom.com) and you can buy holux gps receiver over ebay.

I just bought the HTC S730 today
Where is the s730 forum here?
I have tried like a crazy person to get the 'built-in' gps to work, but i cant even find one satellite :-( Perhaps they have disabled it in the Rom...
Cant wait to hear from other users who have bought the final version of this phone and if they can get the gps to work..
Could you upload your HTC Home screen? I think a lot of users (including me ) are waiting here for this. Would you be so kind please?

As soon as I have time we will research it. If the hardware is really built in we will get it going some time (it *will* take time tho)
Got my S730 a few days ago. Loving it so far, except...
Couldn't find any satellites with Google Maps so the GPS does indeed appear to be disabled in the final ROM. I hope someone finds a "fix" for this soon. ;-)
Also, I can't get BlackBerry Connect 4.0.0.76 or 4.0.0.84 to connect RIM. My subscription is enabled (works fine on my BB Pearl) but I can't get a PIN on the S730. If anyone has managed to get this working, I'd love some help.
Cheers

I would be happy to. But i have no idea how to extract it from the phone?
Go to Application Data and the best is you copy the whole Home-Folder and upload it.
Here you go
Hope you can use it...
Can someone btw tell me how i can get more appointments to show in the HTC Home Screen?
Thank you very much! But not working on Vox, there are some missing files in system and plugin support.. I think the clsid is different from the Vox's one and it will be more difficult to make it work.. It only shows appointments I will do some researches
And your question - I tried to find it inside of xml, but not there.. HTC made a configurator to modify HTC home on PPC, so maybe for smartphones it also will appear.. I guess
GPS seems to be in HTC S730
I got my S730 today. Have tried with Efficasoft GPS Utilities for Smartphone v2.0 and Chartcross GPS Test Version 1.04. Both programs finds 0-1 satelliets, not enough for positioning, but there seems to be a GPS. But whay can't it identify enough of satellites?

Off course, if someone explains how to do it i will be happy to do it.
*If* the hardware is indeed enabled, you might want to extract drivers from a Kaiser rom. Whether the hardware is indeed present and enabled is hard to determine from the unclear statements in this thread...

Please explain how we can verify if the GPS hardware is present and enabled? I tested with Google Maps and adamwasta used a number of other tools, so what can we do to make it less unclear for you? Thanks.
HTC TYTN II ----or----- HTC s730
Can someone please help me decide between the HTC Tytn II OR the HTC S730? I am a heavy texter, sometimes check email, and want a fast phone. I'm worried that the HTC s730's keyboard is not comfortable -- can someone that uses it give me a heads up on how comfortable/good it is? Is the WM Smartphone's UI annoying? - i've been using pocket pc for a long time & I just want to know if its difficult to switch to a standard smartphone like the HTC s730? Thanks in advance for your feedback & comments - they are all much appreciated
Hmmm i havent tried yhe Tytn so i cant compare the two phones. But i had a Touch before i bought my S730 and i must that it was a step in the right direction text-typing-wise... The s730 is not as good to type on as an Nokia Communicator (imo the best phone for typing), but it's pretty good. And its great to have two options for typing : numeric with T9 and the qwerty inside...
About the smartphone ui....Grrrrrr it is a little bit annoying.. I hate that the settings are so locked. You have far few options in the settings compared to the PPC interface. But then on the other hand there are some features that works better on the smartphone than on the PDA.
All in all i am a very happy little piggy with my S730. I would not trade it for any other phone on the market.

I am also pretty happy with the S730... i used to have a vox and a wizard i must say I keep going to press the screen on the s730 because i was used to ppc but im sure it wont take long for me to get used to it..
one thing battery for me at least seems to be an issue.. fully charged at 7am this morning I had 1 bar left by 11am... Martin is your battery life the same?
the keyboard on the s730 is excellent very good i am already beginning to become a gun on it.. as for the kaiser my friend has one they are way too big for me i guess you need to ask yourself do you want a phone with pda features or a pda with phone features?
Brisbane_guy : I have not expirenced such lousy battery time as you describe. My battery last for about 2 days and i dont turn it off at night. So about 48 hours. But i have disabled BT and WIFI most of the time...
Many thanks Martin & Brisbane for your feedback I'm going to buy the s730 based on your positive feedback

You really should consider the Asus P750. It's only 130g, has 3g, gps (sirf3), wlan, bt2.0, touchscreen, WM6 Prof, 520MHz ARM, 256MB flash and 64MB ram.
On Modaco someone called it the kaiser killer.

Hi Jocky thanks for the info - however I'm a qwerty keyboard lover and absolutely cannot live without one --- any ideas on a small phone with a qwerty keyboard that has strong specs, please let me know many thanks

Did you have font isues with TT7? If I go to the GPS Status screen they get all big.
been using TT7 no probs for about 3 months with about 5 different rom's - no font issues at all
Hi guys I'm using HTC TC with a cooked rom (Touch-IT 3.6b) but tomtom 6 isn't working as in cant get a signal.
Anyway point me towards TT7 & aus maps, may be worth a go.

Nice try. Consider this a warning because no request of warez allowed on the site. Try Quick GPS to get a satellite lock.
Sorry i should have reworded my query because i was asking if the work with cooked roms - Don't want to go out and buy it obviously if it won't work like 6 didn't.
Just wondering what's to say cooked roms are legal, given windows mobile would be copyright? No one complains about that .
does anyone know if the htc touch supports gps and if so where will i obtain tom tom software
