Need help to activate the TomTom software (Xda2) - General Topics

Hi! I've installed my TomTom sotfare as told in the handbook. My problem/question is:
To activate this software - or better to make it ready to use - I need a GPS-singal, that my PDA could be located and loged in. The handbook tells me to go outside and try it there.
1.) Well, how long do I have to wait?
Please send me an answer!!!!!

it shouldn't take long. are ur connection settings working? i.e. can u connect to net?
also if u did a rom or radio flash because some radios take longer to connect to gps depending on ur location.

GPS always trying to connect via MY ISP GPRS with WM6.1

Ok so every time I try to connect to my GPS via Google Maps and Live Search my phone trys to connect to "MY ISP GPRS" and I get:
Dialed isp.cingular
cannot connect
error. I do not know why it does this. I have tried to remove hidden proxy still does it. tried restoring hidden proxy still the same. manually connected to COM4 still the same thing.
I have no GPS, is there a fix to this?
Also I am using ALEX's WM 6.1
first off what operating sys are you on att..vodafone..etc??
it looks to me that you have att...well you would first need to get the cab that you can find around here just search that would set all of your internet configuration....also with all these 6.1 roms there has been a problem with gps that has not been solved yet.....but fyi google will use your gps plus your operators internet to get access....it used both so if you dont have internet google is no good.....after that you just need to sit tight until one of these great chefs find the gps prob on 6.1...if you cant wait revert back to 6.0 for now....also check your radio version i think that has to do with a lot with gps also!!!
search search search...thats the way of the gods!!!!
good luck!!
thanks i have been looking for a while I may go back to 6.0 for a minute until everything is fixed.
I had this problem too. I performed a hard reset and didn't allow the connection setup to run. I entered the data conection info by hand. I also only have the single my isp created. it just points to wap.cingular
I also haven't turned on a-gps in schaps adv config.
so far no issues with the dial error cropping up.

You have to fill in your network settings now that you have a custom ROM. Get the connection wizard to automatically do it and you should be online in a few minutes.

i used the 'Connection Setup' still not work..cant go to internet..why???

Enable Bluetooth DUN on Sprint Touch Pro2!

This took me a while, but I finally figured it out through trial and error. I know there are a few options out there for tethering, but this has always been the preferred way to tether when I was using the Diamond. It's wireless, you can initiate the connection from the PC, and it gives you better battery life than WMWiFiRouter or HTC Wifi Sharing. Best of all, you DO NOT need to initiate a DATA connection on the phone before connecting to your PC! Just fire up the BT DUN connection on your PC, click Dial, then browse the web!
Here's how we do this:
Install DotFred's TaskManager
Click select Menu, Tab Options, Select Tab, Services. Find "CM Guardian", click and hold until menu pop up and select "Set Manual".
Make the following changes on your TP2 with a Registry editor:
1. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing]
Extension="" Delete the "isext.dll"
2. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings]
ForceCellConnection="Sprint"
3. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Wmodem]
Check Profile=0
Connected=0
Multi-NAI=0
WModemDUN=0
4. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\DUNServ er\ControlPanel]
Enabled=1
That's it! Re-pair your TP2 to your PC and BT DUN should be available as one of the services. Create a new DUN profile on your PC, leave username and password blank, and set dial number as #777. Click dial and you should be able to connect... just like old times.
Thank you so much for posting this. I have been ripping my hair out over this. However, I am on Verizon and thus my HTC Touch Pro2 has somewhat different entries in the registry than Sprint does. Does anyone know how to get DUN working with the HTC Touch Pro2 on Verizon? I bought a laptop specifically with Bluetooth just to use my phone as the modem but cannot get it working for my life.
After I did all the registry edits I could that you mentioned (even though all of them were not available since I'm on a different provider) I noticed when I try to dial out for a SPLIT second I will see "Dial Up Networking" listed under Bluetooth services. Windows promptly gives me a dialing error and that service on my phone disappears.
Anyone can give any pointers?
I don't have a Service called "CM Guardian". I have a custom ROM, would that make a difference?

Yes, some Rom chefs may have eliminated this service. I know MightyMike left it in his Rom, but I have not tested others on the TP2.
KD8FRE
Would this service be in WM6.5? If I download MightyMike's ROM would it be in there or is it only in WM6.1?
Thanks for this.

MightyMike's Rom does indeed have CMGaurdian. I cannot speak for other TP2 Roms, but his does.
KD8FRE
Can anyone give any pointers on getting this to work on the Verizon version of the phone? Been searching high and low!
There is no "CMGaurdian" on my phone. I did a full search for it and it's nowhere to be found. I have the stock Windows Mobile 6.5 rom. But it looks like without being able to set that as manual, I have to change the registry everytime I end up having to restart my phone. But even when I do that, it still goes back to phone as modem after a few minutes instead of staying on Sprint.
Awesome!
Thanks for the info. The connection sharing wasn't working for me anyway.
Just an FYI, you can optionally edit the registery to set the CMGuardian to Manual.
Open a reg editor and navigate to [HKLM\Services\CMGuardian]
Locate the Index key and change the value from 2 (default) to 1.
So anyone on Sprint TP2 with 6.5 stock rom actually got Wmodem to work? I've spent about 24 hr trying just about everything with no luck so far.
I made all the above reg changes, have WModem v02 installed on my TP2. Activate the wmodem prog, connect to computer with usb cable. When i try to connect on my computer, it stucked on verifying user name and pass. There is some sort of data connection going on on the phone itself, but the computer connected to the phone couldn't seem to go pass that "verifying user name and pass"
Much appreciated any help or comment. Thanks
Just wanted to add that I found this thread useful, got the registry entries and made a cab for it. This is for Sprint only! Download, install, and go, no need for registry editing!
Problem tethering via Bluetooth DUN to pspgo
Ok, I am pulling MY hair out on my ATT tilt 2. I am trying to use my fone as a bluetooth modem for my pspgo.
It seems that my Tilt 2 receives the data from the pspgo, but its not sending any data to the pspgo, when I test the connection the tilt2 receives about 9-16 bytes, but it says sent: 0 bytes.
I have energyROM july 16 2010 WWE winmo 6.5
Manilla 2.5.20161332.0
Build: 23563.5.5.0
I have seen vids of people doing this on the Raphael (FUZE) and other phones
I keep getting this connection error on my psp: (8030000B) I have tried so many dial #'s, changing settings, PDAnet,
I think the problem has something to do with:
it being WinMo 6.5 or
The custom ROM has disabled something in the Bluetooth or
Since the ROM is custom, the psp wont recognize this for some reason because just like the WIFI router; the carrier doesn't know I'm tethering. or
I have the wrong Dial-up # or
Authentication settings or Initialization command is wrong or
I need to use a Proxy network
Some other reason ( The ROMS BT stack) whatever that is lol
Does anyone have this or similar problem? Or know whats happening here?
Any help would be awesome!
Thank you
Worked Perfectly
After making the changes you suggested, this worked perfectly on my TP2. It's so funny, after I initially got my TP2 and tried it, I instantly gave up. Now that I'm a month away from going to a new carrier, and most likely a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, I got really interested in getting this working. It was a breeze using the Resco Explorer Demo with included Registry Editor.
TP2 Stock WM6.5
Doesnt work for me. I dont have CMGuardian.
I went ahead and edited the registry anyway and still didnt work even after rebooting.
I'm hoping someone can help figure this out... Trying to tether with my new Xoom!
Thanks a lot defcon6, I was looking for this some time ago, but no look, but know, looking for some other thing i found it, thanks again
Same here, stock 6.5 rom and no CMGuardian. Did you ever figure this out?
Never mind, I did run the cab from pengc99 and it worked fine. After soft reset of the phone, it never got out of the "modem negotiating" state but running the cab again fixed it. Now if I just could find the equivalent to CMGuradian I would be all set but this is at least working.
Bluetooth setting to ALWAYS ON?
Thanks to this thread and the pengc99 file, I successfully (quite some time ago) paired my TP2 via the bluetooth to a Nexus 7 tablet as well as an android phone, but each time I turn on the phone, I have to go through the following steps:
1. Select Communication Manager
2. Turn ON the Data Connection
2. Click on Bluetooth
3. Select one of my paired devices, such as the Nexus 7 by clicking the large "+" icon
4. Select Bluetooth Networking
5. Select the "Share Internet Connection" option
6. Click Continue on the bottom
I tried various registry edit searches here and on google, but cant' find any way to lessen these steps or preferably have the Bluetooth sharing set to ON at all times. If anyone knows how to simplify this process, please post the stops or file that will help us all.
Thanks in advance

[Q] sgh i200 (wm 6.1 smartphone) as "3G Modem"

I'm planning to buy a samsung i200, but i need to know that whether it can be used as 3G modem or not.
I've read many many threads about using smartphones or pocket PC's as dial up modems (GPRS connection sharing via "modem link").
But I could not find anything about using a smartphone as "3G modem"..
is it becasue there is no difference between using smartphones as GPRS modem and 3G modem ???
if there is a difference what is it ?

I did a quick search on Google and found a video on YouTube that explains how to use a Samsung BlackJack2 as 3G modem. So it must be possible!
And I think its easier to do so on i200 since the shortcut is in the start menu. On the BlackJack2 you have to search the windows folder - like shown on the video! ;o)
Turn a 3G Smartphone into a Wireless Modem
Simply start "Internet Sharing" tool through start menu and choose USB or BlueTooth and connect to 3G!
...If you have another question please post it in the main thread!
vibraider (11 months ago)
the firt time yes, plug your phone into you computer, in my computer turn on hidden files, go to your phone head to windows, find internet sharing right click it and hit shortcut, now go find shortcut it should be at the bottom, right click that and hit cut now drag it to your startmenu file and drop it, go in to make sure it make it and if you want rename it to take off the shortcut part and there you have it. on your phone from the home screen hit start and scroll to find it

thank you for uour help
p.s
sorry for my englush she is not so good
Once you click the .exe on your device it will download all Sat info for your region.
Just make sure you have network coverage when you attempt to connect.
GPS have "warm start" and "cold start".
Your BT GPS will be doing a warm start.....it remembers the satellite information from last time you used it.
QuickGPS makes HTC GPS warm start i.e. provides a lot of the satellite info.
Even with no QuickGPS there is no way iGo8 takes 4 to 6 minutes to aquire GPS lock! 40 seconds to 1 minute max. With QuickGPS GPS lock is around 15 to 20 seconds.
I have iGo8 on my Topaz Port:4 (Com 4) Baud Rate:4800
QuickGPS 1.1
You can try this

thank you very much
Aren't you curious to test it by yourself? It's not going to harm your phone.. QuickGPS downloads satellite data from htc servers in order to get a quicker fix.That means that you need an internet connection: once succesfully updated, it has a validity of 6 days. For this reason you don't need to run QuickGPS each time you want to use GPS.Anyway there are options within QuickGPS to make it automatically update.

thank you very much for your help
and also to all the people that help me in this thread.
