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 could select the right com-port (com 6). installed it on 5 devices already, no problem.

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
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?

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 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

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?

Ooops, I tired to copy the stuff in \Program files\Navigator and \My Documents\TomTom\ ... And it worked!
Thanks a lot you all!

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?

ehi guys that trick worked and it works great!!!! u guys rule
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.

I would not call it a bug but one of the disadvantages of the ROM is that, similar to these ones which come to Qtek and i-mate, it does not recognise the network settings out of the box but you have to fiddle with them manually. When I use Orange ROMs (and it does not matter if the ROM comes from the UK or Switzerland) everything works with flying colours, despite I do not use any Orange network. Just I have to install Opera Mobile (I hate pocket IE) and voila! Everything works!

also add in the extras folder:
moblue
tcpmp with extra codecs
htc audio manager could be good
if u need the cabs for moblue and htc audio, i have them
there is an newer version of sim manager. v6.10. has a couple of new things (got it if u need it)
and maybe add a good version of opera. not the java one.
we also need a good midlet manager
also a good instant messaging program. maybe a multi client one like oz mobile im, or like im+
mmmhhh after read all this bugs, i better wait a while to update my phone, i find a good idea to write here all the problems with the actually ROM.
Good AD2P drivers
Hi,
Is it possible to have good ad2p drivers with the next rom?
Tomtom 6
I have never been able to run tomtom 6 before the update.
Is it possible now with update? and also which is best version to install?
Kindest regards
I have Push mail configured and GPRS seems to be buggy. once or twice a day GPRS seems to stop working. My Activesync fails with (Can not connect to network or waiting for the network to be available), and in that mode even IE can not connect to any site. I switch off and on the phone function only, GPRS becomes available again.

Actually I would split your post in two separate ones.
1. the instability of WM6 Alpha - obvious thing, and it should be fixed
2. but I also see something else. I see from many posts that one application which sets all the settings with one click is quite urgently needed. I know that something like that exists for Swiss networks http://www.mysmartphone.ch/Freeware/kommunikation/16920.aspx and for the Norwegian ones http://www.smartmobil.no/Article617.phtml but I think that everybody would agree that such an universal solution would be something good. Unfortunately, I do not know anything about programming but I can imagine this kind of program and a separate database. The database would be filled by volunteers - I can, for example, provide all the settings of Polish operators, someone else British, French, etc. It would be good esp. for people who travel a lot.

TomTom 6 is made for Pocket PCs. It requires a touch screen to work, so you won´t be able to control it. I have had it running on my 8310 but it´s just silly to even have it installed. Go for 5.2 if you can find it.
I have problems syncing my contacts if i have more than 305 contacts.
The ActiveSync (or WMDC) hangs saying "attention required". Though, i can make 305+ contacts on the WM6 and sync them back to Outlook! But backwards i get 305 contact limit. Vey, very strange!
With previous ROM everything was ok.
I tried syncing with different PCs, tried unistalling ActiveSync and WMDC - no use. Deleting pim.vol doesn't help too.
ActiveSync on WM6 gives me 0x8503001c error.
Thanks for your help. I got my old one to work. I really like the colours in tomtom 6 tho.
Also on my phone i have a problem(s) with tomtom 5, I cant type in the post code B8 followed by anything like B8 3NU. Also I can't use certain Points Of Interest such as hospitals or cash dispensers. These work fine on my Wizard but I wana be able to do it all with TORNADO!
The software of dual sim selector don't works with that new rom (adapter of 10ª generation).
Well, I don't know if it works; the soft does not appear by any side.
I proved several solutions, but no it has worked to me.
Somebody can help me?
Thanks.
tejasphatak please rename the topic to "WM6 Torando bugs/issues" , so we can generally post bugs/issues regarding all WM6 tornado roms
Bugs:
1. The locklevel change to 1 randomly..
2. Sometimes the phone freeze when unloking kepyad.
It happened two times.
Issues:
1. When playing audio the CPU load is ~ 25-30% (@180 Mhz). It is normal ? (can someone with WM5 test?)
If using EQ and other effects the CPU load increase.
A taskmanager with cpu load info can be found here (it's for PPC but works also ,somehow, on smartphones)
More CPU load = more power = less battery
2. The system lags while writing to storage card (big cards, > 1gb). This issue is present on WM5 Tornado roms too (except iphone rom wich seems to deal better with sd).
Need a beter SD driver .
Same when copying via ActiveSync (has anyone tried usbfn driver from HTC VOX?)
3. when TCPMP is playing audio it keeps the backlight alive
Using andot's PEE V6.

Hello,
I've got a similar problem to this. It used to work fine until last week. I can't remember changing anything in my Hard/software setup but now it just hangs and only some of the contacts sync.
I've searched in the forum but can't seem to find any other reference to this problem. If anyone knows a solution (or any discussion of it) please let me know. Basic device info below:
SPV m3100 (HTC TyTN) running WM6
Windows Vista Home Basic
Windows Mobile Device Center
Thanks.
The newest version of TomTom Navigator supports non touch screen devices.
I stumbled in this information by accident and thought it would be usefull over here.
I've tested it on a HTC StarTrek (qtek 8500 etc) with a WM 6.1 standard ROM and it works like a charm with the newest maps.
No more FakeCursor needed, you can scroll and use numeric keypad
Version is: 7.915.9196.
Because of slightly warez related.....google is our best friend.
How I combined 7.450 and 7.915 to get it working on my SAMSUNG JACK i637
Hey guys, I bought a Samsung JACK (637) a couple of months ago and really wanted to install a GPS software to use with my Bluetooth GPS receiver. So I spent a lot of time searching and researching my options. Since I used to use TomTom on my iPaq 2495, I decided to go with that.
I found that I had to spend MORE time on figuring out the RIGHT version of Tomtom Navigator and the combined MAP than I anticipated.
TO CUT TO THE CHASE, after experimenting a few version (6.xxxx, 7.450.xxxx, 7.910.xxxx, and 7.915.xxxx) I realized that the 7.450.9028 version works best but NOT without the following FLAWS:
7.915.9196 - Scrolling works for the menu items but NOT for useful features such as searching for address, and POIs, and even setting up the COM PORT for the GPS.
TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM, I combined two versions: the 7.450 and 7.915. Here's HOW:
The problem with 7.450.9028, at least for me, was that:
Searching for POI using the 'ANY CATEGORY' option yields 'NO POI FOUND' all the time.
It couldn't search through the POI database using KEYWORDS. The version of map I tried is 720 and it sure isn't the problem.
So, I made my OWN version:
1) Install 7.450.9028 on your PDA/SMARTPHONE
2) Copy the Navigator directory from /Program Files/ on your device to your Hard Drive.
3) Remove TOMTOM from your device.
4) Install 7.915.9196 on your device.
5) Replace all files except "TomTom Navigator.exe" in Navigator directory of the new installation with those in the Navigator directory indicated in step 2).
6) DONE
I now have a version of Tomtom with the 7.915 main program file and the 7.450 system files.
Now I can search POIs by keyword AND scroll with my UP and DOWN buttons.
These are instructions I think might be useful for at least some people. But I leave you to buy your own copies of the program and MAP so don't ask me for them.
I haven't tested with the more recent 840.2563 maps but I foresee for this to work with it, too.
That's interesting - also stumbled over the sudden "smartphone mode" in the latest version when playing with KS20 and my old Vox back and forth. I noticed though, that the menus in the "smartphone mode" are different from the normal "touchscreen mode".
Especially:
- no (direct) option to delete a route (plan a new route and abort when it starts to calculate immediately instead)
- useless menu to "manage phones"
It looks as if TT is in some mode intended for onboard car device.
What happens if you use the "manage Phones" menu (2.4)?
Your merged TT Versions should relate to the data.chk file (the other big file aside the TT.exe) - so maybe there is easier way to get it replaced. Merging data.chk and TomTom...exe with different versions did not work for me though, but you brought back the attention that it actually works as well (with minor quirks).
Just re-checked if everything works allright with scrolling on the VOX and Tornado - and it does (my Tornado is on WM6 cooked ROM, so not WM5) and the VOX is with Stock ROM 6.0 - so no problems with scrolling here.
The 7.915 had other side-effects, if I remember right like disconnecting BT-GPS in background, so you can't use it as "voice only". Will have to actually use it in real life to see if it works as reliable as the TT5.2 does (depite the maps are getting really outdated...)

I'm strictly using the PPC version of TT so there is no such option as “smartphone mode".
The hybrid 7.915 is pretty stable right now except for the "Start-up Preferences" that would always lead to a crash with "Not enough memory" error.
I also found that if you selected your STATE when inputting your HOME LOCATION during initial setup, TT will remain locked to that state (i.e.: only addresses in your specified state will be indexed during searches). The solution I applied was to simply do a "RESET FACTORY SETTINGS" (under Preferences) and select USA when selecting a HOME LOCATION.
It's frustrating to see that TT has yet to come out with a version that is compatible with all smart phones. I guess we shouldn't put all the blame on TT when manufacturers constantly come out with new ways to confuse us with unique button mapping schemes.
I didn't have problems with bluetooth. I think you're talking about automatic disconnections caused by the time-out setting in the phone. On my Samsung JACK, I basically set my phone to never dim the screen nor go back to home screen unless I manually LOCK the keypad. I can even use my BT headset and BT GPS receiver simultaneously connected to the phone. Now, the only time my GPS disconnects is when i get an incoming call. An inconvenience to say the most and hardly an annoyance. The only annoyance is that the battery would be drained if I forget to lock the keypad or if I leave an unanswered call log unattended (screen always on).
CHEERS!
What I mean is that the menus that the very same program (installed on just ONE microSD card) shows are different when I start it on my smartphones (HTC Vox/S710 or HTC Tornado) or on my PocketPC (LG KS20). You may not have noticed this as you are using it on a non-touchscreen device (aka "Smartphone") only.
I cannot do a side-by-side compare easily as the card can only be in either one or the other device...
A sure proof for this is that there is a menu "manage phones" (translated from my German version) on the second page of the main menu. On the PocketPC this is not present.
Also the item "delete route" (PPC on the 3.rd page) is not there when I start it on the smartphone.
Last, the smartphone menus show a digit (1,2,3,5,6) aside a list-like menu item while on the PPC this is a 2x3 icon layout and no digits shown.
Dropping the BT connection if sent to background does not happen on my PPC as well, but this is using a different BT-stack (Widcomm/Broadcom) while my smartphones use the Microsoft BT-stack.
Can you please tell about the menu specialties that I desribed - do you see these as well?

Are you saying that two different interfaces are supported by the same TT version?
Yep, the menu items are numbered exactly like you said.
On Main Menu - page 3, 'Delete Route' option is absent.
Also, I actually never noticed that there is in fact a Manage Phones option on Page 2 of 3. I'm not sure what this option does on my phone because all it does is bring a screen asking "Do you want to connect to "?".
I did use TT Navigator v6 on my HP iPaq hx2495 before. The installation was for touch-screen PPC but I really can't remember all the details. I could go back and have a look, though and even try to run my "hybrid" version on it through an SD adapter.
By the way, I have a 4hz Bluetooth GPS but my TT MAP is being updated at 1HZ. Is there any way to change this setting in TT? 7.450.XXXX used to update the map at 4hz. Perhaps it's not supported by 7.915.xxxx?
Hi.
I have just installed Tomtom (vga-version) on my Touch Pro and found, that when trying to enter an Adress with the slide-out Keyoboard an aditional character is added after each pressed button. This Means: i press "a" and "a°a" appears on the screen.
Does anyone else have the same problem or maybe found a solution?
Never noticed that problem before. Using last version of TT7. Maybe a rom issue with the keyboard driver.
Usually I'm using the soft keyboard of TT7

This is also happening to me, stock WWE updated ROM with TTN7 7.915. This is soooo lame!

I can also confirm that this is happening to me with TT 7.915. I'm not completely sure, but I don't think it happened to me with TT 7.910
Do you all use the vga-version? I think it did not happen with the not-vga version that was preinstalled on my device.
I tried with 910 and 915, and I still get this issue :-/
Its hapening to me also. im using TT7.450 (VGA)
Buts not a problem to me. Tomtom is very fingerfriendly and it goes very smooth.
On a slightly different issue, what sort of refresh rate are you getting on TomTom in terms of map redraws per second? I'd guess I'm only getting one, maybe two, but I've seen Sleuth's video, and he looks to be getting 3 or 4.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Steve.
I also have this issue, although I never use the keyboard while navigating. If you didn't mention it I would have probably never noticed it! LOL
@maw: Well I bought a PDA-holder for my car which holds the Touch pro with the open keyboard, since I thought, that it would be really cool (which it is if it wasn't for the keyboard not working properly in tomtom)
@StevePritchard: I am not sure, but I think I get about 1-3 fps in Tomtom.
did you upgrade your ROM and noticed this problem? As I never used the keyboard with the previous stock ROM I can't say if the ROM upgrade effected the Tomtom interface with the keyboard. I updated my stock ROM with the new version that just came out. Maybe that is the problem, I don't really know.... Very good of you to signal this problem though. Otherwise I don't think this problem can be fixed, I guess we'll just have to wait on a new version of Tomtom to fix this problem. Have you reported it to Tomtom?
no I did not upgrade. I didn't even know, that there is an available update. I am running the stock rom (from o2 germany) that came shipped with the phone.
Is there an update from htc?
No, I did not report, since my Version fell from a truck... I was just wondering whether it was damaged during the fall or if everyone has this problem. ;-)

Its a TomTom error, the newer TT versions dont have that problem.
I used to get this when running Elite RC2 - I moved to ROMeOS and never had the problem

What do you mean by newer versions? I use 7.915 - Is there anything more recent?
I'm getting the same problem, and I've got 7.915 as well. No-one found a solution then?
i had this problem on 3 different versions of tomtom, along with hit or miss signal. it always thinks im inside a building but in the 1/20 shot it works i cant do anything or else "im inside a building" again. i just dont think tomtom was meant for the fuse
It is not a TOMTOM issue. It is an issue with the IME. Here is the fix.
I have attached KforTouchPro_v1.0.0.3.CAB
1. Install the cab
2. It installs to your games folder because this is a fix for several games that have had this issue (I originally discovered it because I had issues using the HW keyboard with logmein)
3. click the Switch to M$ IME button. Now you are good to go!
Thanks - I have just tried it, and TT now works fine.
The problem now is, that other things don't work anymore... I tried writing an E-Mail and it wouldn't let me abort the mail. It displayed the Messageboc, but did not accept any input. Since I write more Mails than I use TT and don't like to keep on switching Keyboard map I is not a real option.
Do you have any Idea?
Hmm.. odd, when I updated my TomTom it just disappered, I have your version aswell, good that there is a update though for you
that K for touch pro, is that KforRaphael that maps certain keys for MorphGear?
I had that installed, but cant recall if it was erroring before that, anyways, good it got solved
