Hi,
I'm able to run Tomtom 5.2 succesfully on my Qtek 8310, however it crashes out to the desktop very often.
I used to have a Qtek 2020 with Tomtom 3 and had the same problem until I changed the Sandisk SD card 1GB to a Transcend one (faster reading). Could this be the same problem ?
It puzzles me because the Sandisc mini-sd 1GB ran fine om my Motorola MPX 220 smartphone (Windows Mobile 4.2).
Anyone having the same problem ?
Yes, I'm having exactly the same problem and have so far been unable to come up with a fix.
I'm using an O2 XDA IQ with a Holux GPSlim236 BT GPS unit, version 5.2 of TomTom Mobile & a 1GB SanDisk mini SD.
Anyone have any pointers for us please?

Hello,
I managed to fix the problem by removing some programs from the phones' memory. I installed Clearvue OfficeSuite in the phones' memory and read somewhere in the forums that lack of memory could be a source of problems. I will do some more testing and keep you posted. Anyway I ordered a Transcend 80x 1GB miniSD at a local distributor (Belgium) for 31€, just to make sure.
Glad you got it sorted out!
When you say you removed some programs from the phone's memory, do you mean the Storage or Program memory?
At present all the progrms on mine have been installed to the storage card with the exception of a couple of very small utilities and ring tones.
Current memeory data is like this:
Storage memory: 17.95MB
Used: 16.83MB (pim.vol is 7.7MB of this)
Free: 1.06MB
Program Memory: 45.05MB
Used: 24.44MB
Free: 20.61MB
Could the low amount of available storage memory be the problem?
Do you have any other suggestions?
My program memory is about the same, but my storage is much higher, I have about 11MB free. I could be your problem.
Maybe following link could help you redirect your pim.vol (which is outlook I think) to your SD also and help you save storage memory.

I'll have another 30 min testdrive this evening from work to my house and see whether it crashes. I worked perfectly yesterday, after removing Clearvue.
Hope this helps you.
Sorry the thread explaining this is here :

12 MB still not enough?
I have exactly the same problem as described here on my QTEK 8300.
I tried several GPS receivers, and I upgraded my ROM (AKU2), but that didn't change anything.
Based on the previous postings I tried to free up some memory, so I ended up with:
free storage memory: 12.13 MB
free program memory: 22.46 MB
Unfortunately, the problem has not disappeared.
Apparently 12 MB free storage memory is still not enough.
Has anybody been able to identify how much free memory is enough to run Tom Tom Mobile 5.21 on a QTEK 8300?
Has anybody been able to run Tom Tom Mobile 5.21 successfully on a QTEK 8300/8310 at all? Or is that simply impossible?
SVL... you suggested that 11 MB of free memory should be enough.
Was your testdrive successful?
So far I have never been able to use Tom Tom for more than 10 minutes.....

Hi,
been away for a few days sorry for the late reply.
To answer your question yes I've been able to use it for over 30 minutes during my testing. I will leave on holiday 31 july by car to France so I'll be able to do some more testing.
My problem got solved by deinstalling Clearvue Officesuite from main memory, using a more recent BENELUX - map and deselecting POI's.
So it could be one of these three or all three together which made it work, I don't know. I don't really need POI's but I will test it out when I receive my Transcend mini-SD card.
Good luck,
SVL
Hi all,
I've managed to solve the problem and have successfully used TomTom Mobile 5 on my O2 XDA IQ! I've tested it over a few journeys now and it operates without a hitch.
First of all, I upgraded my MiniSD to a high speed card but this made no difference. I then uninstalled a number of applications (including the Clearview Suite) to try and free up some more memory, with no success. Every time I tried to run TomTom it would crash after just a few seconds.
Next I did a cold reset on the device (Clear Storage) and installed just TomTom on the new high speed memory card and the problem persisted! I started to suspect some fundamental incompatibility with the device and after a little research stumbled across a registry hack which removed the Smartphone application locking. I tried it out on a hunch and presto! TomTom ran flawlessly!
So, here’s what I did in order to get TomTom Mobile 5 working on my O2 XDA IQ:
(i) Used “Checklock.exe” (found at Smartphone.net) to see if my Smartphone was application locked.
(ii) It was, so I used PHM RegEdit, to remove the XDA IQ application locking by making the following registry changes:
(a) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 2
> Change the value data from “2” to “1”
(b) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 16
> Change the value data from “16” to “40”
(c) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 128
> Change the value data from “128” to “144”
(d) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies\Policies
> Add new Dword value: "0000101b" Dword = “1”
(iii) Rebooted XDA IQ.
(iv) Used "Checklock.exe" again to check that the phone was not locked any more.
(v) Inserted my TomTom MiniSD card, TomTom automatically installed OK.
(vi) Made sure I had the “Currentmap.dat” file in the “\My Documents\TomTom” directory of the device and not the storage card.
(vii) Bonded my Holux GPSlim236 Bluetooth GPS receiver with my XDA IQ. During this process I changed the name of the device from the default to “GPS” (apparently the last three characters of the device name must be "GPS" for TomTom to recognise it) and assigned Outbound COM port 6 to it.
(vii) Made sure that the phone was switched on when running TomTom (it doesn’t appear to work if the phone is turned off).
(ix) Used it to navigate to the office and back.
(x) Held a party to celebrate!
Can't believe it was that hard, it almost seems like it's been designed not to work!
Anyway, hope this is useful to you all, please feedback your findings!

POIs and Tomtom do not go together in a QTEk 8300.....
After the last post from SVL I realized that I had selected some POI's.
I tried to deselect POIs, but TomTom crashed eveytime before I could exit the proram myself, so my changes were not saved...
Finally I restarted my smartphone by shortly disconnecting the battery, and I managed to deselect the POIs and exit TomTom myself.
Result: .... Today I was able to successfully use TomTom Mobile on my QTEK 8300 for more than 40 minutes. That's promising!
It means that I do not need the registry tweaks, and that 11 MB of free storage memory seems to be enough to run TomTom Mobile on a QTEK 8300, as long as you don't use the POIs.
I still wonder what is the reason that using the POIs makes TomTom instable on a QTEK 8300. Has anybody ever used TomTom Mobile including selected POis successfully on a QTEK 8300?
I will keep testing TomTom mobile on my QTEK 8300 in the coming weeks.
Would a faster memorycard solve the issue with POIs?
I'm using a standard Kindston Mini SD card of 1 GB at this moment...
Gerard
Hi all...I had a magician with the same problem....there were lots of forum comments on it but the best solution people came up with was to remove all the POI's from being viewed on the screen.
You can still navigate to a POI but not have them on the display.
This seemed to fix mine (and a couple of my mates problems) so assume it's same for SP5
Cheers
QTEK 8300 and Tom Tom Mobile
I have now used TomTom on my QTEK 8300 for a couple of hours.
As long as I do not show the POIs it is perfectly stable.
As soon as I want to see POIs the system crashes (maximum time before crash was 7 minutes, but most of the times it crashes immediately).
Memory does not seem to have an impact. The system worked perfectly with only 7 MB of free storage memory, and 13 MB of free program memory.
so... the conclusion is simple.... the POIs are causing the problem.
Now the interesting question is: what can I do to make the system stable even with the POIs ?
Or is that simply impossible?
had same problem with xda2i found this fix
it could possibly work for yours

PHM Reg Edit says 'Access Denied'! Help!
I am trying to change the registry settings on my XDA IQ to remove the application locking so things like Tom Tom can run freely as suggested by SVL/scallywagger but when I use PHM Reg Edit it simply states 'access denied' when I try to change a registry value.
Can anybody help me with this please? I am currently TomTom less and getting lost regularly!
I managed to solve this problem by copying the "TomTom" Directory containing the exe and all dll's to "program files/TomTom" on the phone's internal memory (keeping the map files on the storage card).
I assume that it can access the files faster of the internal memory and thats why its not crashing anymore.
Although my 1gig card is meant to be fast (Sandisk UltraII mini)! im just glad its working and Im not getting lost or having to reboot mid-journey.
At ST16:
Try this link for accessing the registry. It worked on my 8310:
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=240179
Self signed root cert.
Only slightly related but I was able to use Scallywagger's registry hack to app unlock my IQ. This then enabled me to install a self signed certficate for our email server thus allowing push email!
I spent 1 hour on the phone to O2 trying to sort this!
Thanks again Scallywagger!
tomtom install
copy tomtom to the mcard then put mcard in the phone then start the cab files from the phone had to do this xda mini hope this might help

Has anyone tried this on a Wizard with WM6 installed? I know that there were some issues with HC card on Wizard.
SDHC cards aren't compatible with the wizard yet, even in WM6. To make sure I even checked my registery settings for the settings that would need to be there for them to work and they weren't there.
you may want to try "ordinary" 4GB miniSD cards:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297324
There are more threads about that topic in the accessories section of the Wizard
Thanks..Xeno & Huckelberry88, I will try the standard Mini SD card. The only reason I was interested in Toshiba is because of the brand name. I hate ordering and trying a no name brand.
I have now a microSDHC 6gb in my p3600.
It is a Sandisk microSDHC 6gb in a microSD to miniSD adapter from Kingston.
I have about 4.5 gb data on it, many mp3's.
On this moment it works fine. Have anybody try this before?
(I have AX3L WM6 rom on my p3600)
Brilliant!
It boggles my mind why they have 6/8 gb micros, but not minis....soooo irritating. Guess I'll give your method a try since it seems to be working. Looking forward to more than 4gb on my phone!!!
Mike
Please tell me if you need any patch to do that?
I also have 3.0.8..AX3L WM6, please tel me if I need further patch or cab to enable my trinity SDHC compatible as when I was downloading the ROM I saw a SDhc cab I wasn't sure that time if I should had download & install it to make my trinity SDHC compatible. Plaese anybody guide me I'll be very thankful. I intend to buy 8gb sdhc. ???? please email me at [email protected] as I might loose track of this thread. Thanks
I have installed AX3L 3.1.1 Lite.
I didn't load a SDHC patch. I had buy a miniSDHC 4 gb and it works without a problem.
Now I have the MicroSDHC 6gb.
The 8gb MicroSDHC is comming in the next months.
Cool, thanks for the conformation that 6GB MicoSDHC’s with Micro>Mini adapters work in our WM6 Trinity.
Has anyone else tried a 6GB in a WM5 ROM by using the various patches around?
There are so many RegEdits and DLL’s floating around for SDHC support that I thought I’d try and collate them by viewing the contents of the CAB’s and doing some binary comparisons.
These are just my opinions and I welcome anyone who can correct/enlighten me.
1)
HTC_SDHCsettings.cab – 4.4KB
This one from lvsw basically adds a bunch of registry keys about BuiltIn SDHC and StorageManager but doesn’t add or modify any files.
2)
sdhc.cab – 66.4KB
This can be found all over the forum under different names. It adds two DLL’s but doesn’t add/modify the registry.
a) sdbus.dll – 47.4KB
b) sdmemory.dll – 15.4KB
3)
miniSD HC Patch v2.2.cab – 15.6KB
This one by AX3L adds the same sdmemory.dll from 2b and nothing else.
4)
SDHC drivers WM6.zip and here– 69.4KB
This has some extra fixes that have been proven to work in E-TEN’s.
a) sdhc.cab with the same two DLL’s as 2a&b.
b) Certs.cab – 4.59KB which adds a bunch of certifications (not sure what else it does).
After installing the two DLL’s to \Windows\ and the Cert’s, then you copy these two slightly different DLL’s across.
c) sdbus.dll – 47.8KB
d) sdmemory.dll – 15.8KB
I don’t have a SDHC to try this out on but will get one while in Japan next month. It would be nice if someone could try out a combination of these on WM5 to see if they work. I think a combination of 1 & 4 might do the trick
@ janegsm or anyone with AX3L 3.1.1 please check out these two sets of DLL’s and do a binary comparison with the ones installed on your ROM.
Would be nice to get some closure on this
OK, so I dumped AX3L’s 3.1.2c and did a binary comparison on the apparent DLL’s. As suspected they are different again to the previous DLL sets.
Only problem is, I don’t know what to do with the S000,S001,… files, convert them to reg entries? They mention reading the cards using block mode addressing and not byte mode addressing which is promising.
AX3L has pointed out on other threads that SDHC is controlled by many DLL’s and they are ROM specific, so I might just be talking round in circles, but if someone can do something useful with this then we might be able to get a working SDHC patch for the Trinity!
BTW janegsm, what class of MicroSDHC do you have? Class 4 appears to be most common at the moment.
im interested to know whether anyone has these running on a standard WM6 rom from HTC.
Also, are there any speed related issues with using microSD cards? there certainly are speed differences between SD and miniSD cards (mainly noticeable in my digital camera though).
Lastly, i can't seem to find any miniSDHC cards over 4gb. Is it just me, or there really isn't any out there? Why are there larger capacities for microSD and SD formats?

Simple... electronics are getting smaller thereby the need to use a smaller card i.e. less real estate for the socket. Lots of companies are shying away from the mini to migrate to the micro. Mini manufactures see this trend and don't wish to spend resources developing and tooling for the mini when a micro with adapter will do the same thing. Hope this helps
umh, no one have try micro sdhc on WM5? the fix realy work?
where i can buy only micro to mini sd adapter? i have find only kingston package with micro to mini, micro to sd and micro sd of 1GB or 2Gb not more big.
I have WM6 ROM on my p3600.
I had buy a Sandisk microSDHC 6gb class 4.
Also I buy a Kingston 2gb micro, this is a set with 2 adapters: microSD to miniSD and microSD to SD.
I use only the sandisk 6gb and the microSD to miniSD adapter.
(I sell the 2gb MicroSD)
(When the Sandisk microSDHC 8gb comms I will buy the 8gb to.)

No luck with WM5. I tried all the options above (except #3) and the best I could get was to have a 6GB micro SD recognized as a 2GB card. Any solutions that will work with WM5 would be welcome, as WM6 is not an option for me right now.

Gutted, I still haven't heard of anyone getting this to work with a WM5 Trinity
Have you tried using AX3L's DLL's (from post 6 of this thread) after installing the certs.cab?
There has been a surprising amount of success here which is exactly the same as option #4 of my post you quoted.
I still don't have a SDHC card but will probably jump straight to the 8GB, although there still seems to be issues being able to see more than 4GB of the 8GB cards even using Trinity WM6.
Now I'm even more determined to get this working on WM5.
Still No Luck w WM5

I followed up on both of your suggestions. I tried the thread you pointed me to and I tried using AX3L's DLL's. The only thing I got out of the process was a lot of trouble overwriting the DLL's. When I succeeded, the cards were not showing up at all. Otherwise, the system only saw 1.7gb of my 6gb Micro SDHC.

New Problems with Micro SDHC Card, help needed
Problem: I was using a SanDisk 6GB MicroSDHC Card with MiniSD-Adaptor in my Trinity (P3600):
With the Original WM5 Rom there was no chance; when I switched to Bepe's WM6 German it was recognized at once and working (still I think a bit slower than a 4GB MiniSD Card) but the older my installation of WM6 got (or perhaps the MicroSDHC Card) the problems got worse: Very slow when using something that was on the Card and finally no chance to work with the card anymore. Then I formatted the card in my PC and did a new installation of the same Bepe WM6 ROM on my P3600. Since that time there is no chance to use the card in the phone: it doesn't get recognized, did't matter what I tried. But in my much older TyTN with WM6, the card works perfectly!?!
Maybe anybody has an idea. e.g.: I wanted to format it in my Trinity or TyTN, but I can't find any option for that.
(Funny: When I put on my camera in Trinity, it asks to use Main or Card memory, I chose card an it hangs (needs softreset); memory manager says no card at same time; I put the card out and in my TyTN and open explorer and can see that the trinity has made new my documents and pictures folders on the card???)
edit: Seems to be a Trinity failure: Now I tried my older 4GB MiniSD card and 2GB MiniSD card in the Trinity and it doesn't recognize any of it; so it should be a Trinity failure?
Does anybody have a clou what I could try to do or will the device have to go to repair?
Thanks a lot for any suggestions!

Give more info please; like:
do you have memory card?
what programs you got installed?
where do you have programs installed (on the phone or memory card)?
If you don't have memory card then go buy 1Gb card on ebay they are cheap.
Then reinstall your rom and install all programs on that 1Gb memory and you will be fine.
Reset your phone, install your softwares and others in memory-card as far as possible , you can try .

This tip frees memory in the phone, moving stuff to the card.
http://www.mvdirona.com/jrh/SmartPhone/MoreStorage.htm
My company just released a new addition of windows mobile (WM) based software. Before the release I decided that I would "anticipate" the release by purchasing an used HTC Mogul which the seller of the phone had installed WM 6.1 professional. Little did I know that my company requires 25 MB of program memory to be available when installing the software. I followed many of the suggestions made in other forum threads about "cleaning up" program memory but at best I couldn't get above 24 MB of program memory (i.e. oxios hibernate & MemMaid included). You can see how close I was, but I can't install this software without having ActiveSync running as well. Here are my questions:
1) Is there anyway to get the HTC Mogul program memory to be more than 25 MB? Total memory is almost 47MB. Does the system really take up that much program memory?
2) Is there any type of program that I could install that would show more memory than actually exists? Like a "Pseudo" program memory creating program.
What stinks is that my company requires you to activate your phone using desktop software while in activesync. My phone meets all minimum requirements but program memory. Anyone?
I suggest (though i doubt it's possble) you search for a CLEAN rom for your titan..
the cleaner the better
flash it and hope it will use less program memory.
about the fake app.. i never heard of one.
I used to use MobileSwap on my Dell Axim X51v. It creates a swap paging file on the SD card just like Windows does. That was well over a year ago, I don't know if it's still being updated or anything, but it ran on WM5 fine, should be ok on WM6
-crobs808
If you can't get a clean rom, why not just temporarily patch the program to run in 24mb rather than 25mb? It must be a hefty app to need all that ram, but does it really use 100% of the 25mb?
V
Please let me know where I can get MobileSwap
Please let me know where I can get MobileSwap. I searched the web, but could not find it. Thank you.
