GPS Software "Destinator" not working.. - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

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.

Your wellcome, glad i could help!!!!

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...
Click to collapse
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.

Faria problem wih upgrade

Righ, I hope someone can help...
downloaded Faria ROM, ran flash utiliy, when it gets to 99%, the utility quits out with the communication error message. The phone, in the meantime, gets stuck on the 99% bit, and doesn't seem to go any further.
Any suggestions, please?
A.
Did you flash to T-Mobile 2.26 b4 upgrading?
Trying searching for solutions. Your problem has been asked several times in different threads... Including Faria's "The Real Thing" thread..
Actually solved it now, using the ShellTool tool...
However, got two new problems:
When trying to re-sync my contacts, I get an error 8007000e, device not having enough memory. Tried rebooting both my laptop and my wizard, bu nothing solved it. Searched the forums, found one reference, but no solution. If anyone has seen this, any ideas? I've also tried removing my partnership, to no avail.
Second problem I guess could be related - when I try to launch contacts on my PPC, it seems to launch, but it goes back to desktop straight away.

Did you use some backup utility (like Spb Backup) to restore your contacts from WM5 to your new WM6 device? WM5 PIM Database is a different format than WM6 PIM database and I've seen similar errors when someone tried doing a restore from a WM5 backup to a WM6 install.
I'm just using outlook 2003... synced all my contacts into it, and assumed WM6 would sync them back up again?

Yes, that is correct (you upgraded to ActiveSync 4.5, right?). Not sure about your error then as I suspected a WM5 backup restored on WM6.
When you upgraded to WM6, did you flash back to an official ROM (like TMobile 2.26) before doing the Faria WM6 rom? I find it cleaner to not flash from a custom rom to another custom rom.
At this point, I think its worth reflashing your phone. Drop back to an official rom then upgrade to the Faria one.
BTW: You've never mentioned if you have a G3 or G4. So if you are a G4 be careful doing this.
yeah, it's a G4...
I think, for the time being, I might drop back to WM5, as I'm travelling from tomorrow, and need my contacts... i'll try again when I get back on monday.
I have exactly the same problems
- activesync memory error
- contacts and new appointments problem
I already flashed my Wizard G4 (MDA Vario T-Mobile) several times with Faria's and X-plode and everyting goes smoothly but the erros always show up. Beside those errors, everything else seems to work just fine. WPA2, GPS softw, phone, etc etc
AdamR78: what rom of WM5 are you using? Can you give me a link so I can download it?
As for the contacts and new appointment problem it seems that if we run Clear Storage (Settings --> System --> Clear Storage) it does the trick. At least for me it seems to be working.

o2 orbit 2 - Sprite Backup

Hello,
I'm a long time browser of this site (for the past few years), and this is my first time posting. Great site - I love it!
I've just upgraded to a o2 Orbit 2 (HTC Touch Cruise).
I love this device, I've been using Pocket PCs since PPC2000 but never a PDA/Phone hybrid before, this is my first, it's amazing!
I'm using an 8gb MicroSD card to store as much as I can, rather that storing apps on ther main memory (the only apps installed there are Resco file explorer, and any today plug-ins etc).
I am having a slight issue with Sprite Backup, included with this device.
Everytime I try and backup my device state to the SD card, the program freezes about 32 seconds into the backup operation, the status in the app says "building self restoring header". I've left this for well over an hour, just incase it's working, but when i've returned to the device it's still stuck in this stage, and I have to soft-reset the device.
I've hard-reset a few times now, but to no avail, the program still freezes.
Currently I'm using the default stock o2-branded rom:
ROM Version: 1.25.206.3 WWE
ROM [email protected] 01/03/08
Radio Version: 1.58.25.14
Protocol version: 25.69.30.05H
Anyone else experience a problem like this? If so, how did you get around it?
Thanks in advance, Keep up the good work,
Chris.
never had this problem
hi there!
I got the same device, and it works (almost) perfect.
I can perform a Backup, no lacks, no critical errors, but everytime one file is skipped(a tmp file). It realy doesn't matter for me, i tried to restore a backup yesterday and it worked fine. The only thing which wasn't restored was the "photo dial cube", i had to add my friends again.. i think you know what i mean, ah and i had to set up the vpn connection again.
Everything else was restored fine. All contacs, all of my messages, pix, software... even the trial period of mochavnc keeps running, and wasn't reseted(doh).
I think a reinstallation could solve your problem. On the CD's which were delivered by O2 there is a Insaller for Sprite Backup. Try this.
Have a nice Day!
Greetings
Win****
Hi there, thanks for the reply.
I've reinstalled again. It was one of my apps (S2U2, or CallFirewall) that was causing the problem.
Some files were locked and couldnt be unlocked when Sprite Backup kills the processes.
I've found an alternative backup application, Resco Backup, that works flawlessly.
I've even performed a hard reset and restored from the backup, so all is good!!
So you don't use sprite anymore?
I'm fighting with my phone for three days now.
everytime I reboot after a restore, (sprite reboots it first after which all comes up well adn my phone is my old one) but as said after any reboot I do hereafter all my microsoft applications can't find their initiation files sych as :mssyncapp, :mspoutlook :mscprog, :msexplore
I've tried many times and many things and discovered that probably sprite is doing a background task. And it is.
As it resets to the wrong time and date, when set in the right time and date it has missed tasks and it will start these tasks imediately.
Uninstalling sprite helped me out!
But sprite is not easy to uninstall so many files will stay onboard and again after a reboot: crash.
Since the only sollution is factory reset (t-mobile screen), install sprite, restore phone, uninstall sprite, reboot and hope it will not fail the microsoft apps again; it is very time consuming to find out what the *** sprite is doing / has done to my phone.
Hard reset and reinstall every single application I had already installed seems the best way and like my predecessor; do not use the software that came free with your phone. It kills and also sels; a premium version, now why would I need that?

Orbit2, No GPS signal!!

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.

I've never seen this problem before... unable to install/uninstall applications?

Hello,
No matter what application I would try to install, it would fail right away. I thought that maybe the last application I installed was the problem, so I went to uninstall it from the settings menu. When I got to the Remove Programs list, it was empty! I cannot install or uninstall applications!
The last program I was able to install was this: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=3646
Can anyone help me fix this, or will I need to hard reset?
I gave up and just did a hard reset.
SKTools
Hi
for anybody else still facing this issue, SKTools may help you.
Cheers

i have same problem, i do tweak registry settings, but haven't for about 2 weeks before this problem happened. tried to use sktools to uninstall programs, but same result.
any suggestions? i do have a registered install of sktools for smartphone.
btw, im using a BJII with 6.1
Also, just realized i cant access the "about", "Accessability", or "owner info" info in "settings", it gives me "ERROR The settings could not be opened"
however, "version" and some others in the "settings" menu work fine (i haven't gone thru and tested all of them)
I have already performed a couple soft resets, with no change. seems like something pretty basic is F'ed. any ideas would be appreciated, i am planning to hard reset tonight if i dont get this taken care of...... So so much to re setup/install.... :-(
i did a hard reset, reflashed my bjII to the most recent 6.1 ROM. and now it is doing the same thing AGAIN!.
i have done no registry mods besides unlocking the keys ATT tries to restrict for their ghey medianet/cellularvideo links. and that has NEVER caused any issues before.
i Have installed:
NETCF3.5
Live Search
LEDAlertsSP
GoogleMapsMobile
Resco Explorer
Opera
SKTools
Increase Ringtone size to 25mb
the only app i haven't tried before is Twikini (a twitter app) it seems to work perfectly, but it is the only thing i have not had on my phone for an extended period of time.
Anyone with advice on how i can go about finding out what the real issue here is please lemme know.

Hello I think it wasnt necessary, I had the same problem twice, and flashed it again, and restored the rom and it keeped on non working. So the first thing i did was to unmount the sd card and mount it again and it worked for a while.
Afterwards I format microSD card- FAT32, other guy wrote in a forum with 4096.
here is the link hope it works for you

No Sound on IPAQ 614c

Hello,
After I tried the update of the Radio Firmware 0.89 my handheld acts like crazy. I am tired of customizing it and then having to hard reset it!
The problem is: after about 2 days of working the sound mutes completely on my IPAQ 614c, with the new Radio! Also when I try to restore my backup (I used multiple backup software like Sunny backup and Resco Backup) it also mutes completely. I already tried going back to 0.88 but the problem which appeared seems not to go away (when I restore the old backup file I never had issues with, now the phone mutes even on 0.88 ).
Please help. I would need any advise on how I could correct the mute problem after it appears. It is most probably a registry issue or a windows file issue (maybe).
I appreciate any help, as I am in despair.
Thank you!
