TomTom Navigator 7 Freezing... - General Questions and Answers

Hello there, Quick question.
I recently upgraded TomTom Navigator 7 on my SE XPERIA X1 from version 7.450.9028 to version 7.910.9185 mainly for the fixes for a WVGA screen e.g. larger buttons and text.
However, I have found that the phone always seems to freeze when using TTN7. I never found this with the previous version however, the improvements are too improved to revert back to the old version.
Is this problem caused by the application or the phone as the screen becomes unresponsive when freezing (e.g. it doesn't vibrate on tap) giving the idea that the phone's memory is full when running the application and causing the phone to slow down.
Cheers,
Hyped

I have been experiencing the same issue on my Xperia X1 that you've had Hyped. I am actually running version 7.915.9196. Basically, TomTom will be fine UNTIL it gets a GPS fix. Once that has happened, it is only a matter of 1-2 mins before the whole phone locks up, requiring a battery cover removal + reset button fix.
I also don't want to revert to the previous version, but I'm thinking it may have to come to this I have the ATI D3D driver installed from the Diamond, and I'm planning on removing it to test, but I don't think TomTom calls D3D at all (in fact, im 99% sure), so I doubt this will fix the issue.
Looking for more insight from anyone else, or if there's a newer version of TT7 that we're missing out on.

Mine is touch and go, When it hasn't got a GPS fix, it'll freeze at random moments e.g. when the keyboard is up.
I tried it yesterday in the car and experienced the same problem as you, as soon as it got a GPS fix it froze up and required a soft reset.

*The* TyTN v1605 problems post...

Hi all,
Figured I should start a post with problems (in the quest for solutions).
I have had my v1605 from Vodafon for 3 days now and have found a few problems already. I have a replacement coming on Tue so will see what is fixed...
So far:
- keyboard back lights not working, matters not if the sensor is active or not. Vodafone replacing the unit as a result.
- some keys on the far right seem unsensitive - I keep missing O, P and L from my typing. The keys do work though...maybe it is just me.
- screen alignment wanders and as such I usually need to re-align the screen once a day or more. Seems always to drift left and slight lower than I am pressing.
- today screen items are locked and 'vodafoned', very annoying as I cannot show task list, owner info or lock status on the today screen. I hard reset the unit and reset it before the customisation happened and voila - the usual today screen items were back - but as a result I lost the vodafone dialer skin and the 3G symbol. I presume someone can ROM-hack to get rid of this restriction and look forward to it In fact, it would be perfect if the ONLY Vodafone customisations were the dialler skin, 3G symbol and theme.
- If you have a password set and hard-reset the unit it crashes when you are prompted for the password. Soft resetting it then skips the vodafone customisation.
- left softkey set to phone instead of calendar and no way to change it.
- no easy way to access Vodafone Live!
- camera quality pretty poor for a 2MP, no where near as good as the K750i for example. However, the K750i on its first firmware was pretty aweful too!
- when plugged into USB on computer - if you turn it off (so as just to charge) it will turn itself back on again shortly and commence another sync.
Other than these niggles, of which the today screen is the biggest for me, I love the TyTN. By far the best PDA/Phone I have owned to date!
So - over to you guys, does your v1605 have these issues or others, or none????

My slide out keyboard down't click into place on the left side the way the right does (and also the way the wizard does). It may not be a problem now but in the future, it may begin to wear and then it might affect the function of the keys??
Are they just swapping a unit for you or exchanging the whole package? How will you know if you get a brand new set? When I switched mine on, the call timers showed outgoing 40 seconds and incoming 45 seconds. I'm not sure if this is vodafone testing the units or it's not new.
Am told I am getting a brand new unit - will check call timers as they *should* be 0-0.
Just had a play with mine and I only feel a click on the right side of the keyboard too. Feels nice and solid once it is out though - not like the xda-mini-s which feels flimsy in comparison.

I do not see the "E" icon even in EDGE enabled areas. I even tried the HTC Wizard icon hack hack with no success:

'E' appears on my v1605
3G is awesome.

Thats great! was a bit worried that mine was a faulty unit. It does feel solid when sliding. It was just the lack of the "click" that bugged me.
Anyone else who received their unit had timers showing calls made and received from it? Its probably vodafone testing it. The unit is too new for any refunds/refurbs to have been made.
- some keys on the far right seem unsensitive - I keep missing O, P and L from my typing. The keys do work though...maybe it is just me.
My unit has this issue and I hope my next unit which is a brand new replacement that comes on Tuesday doesn't have this issue. My unit it is only the O that has problem which is getting better over time. I called them and they was more than happy to get a brand new unit to get sent out just want a perfect working one in my 14 day period so fingers crossed will keep you updated.

Do you also feel a click only on the right when you slide open the keyboard? Let us know how you get on with the new unit.
Don't feel no click at all. Will keep you all updated.
UPDATE:
New unit turned up - keyboard lights now work as expected.
Still only a right side click on the keybard - so it must just be the way it is.

Hi guys
Peter .. the guy that got his VPA Compact III two days after me as sent it back on the 14 day returns .... He was concerned about stability. He's always struggled to come to terms with WM stability which I can understand ... so he's off back to palm and blackberry.
From my point of view - I've had one hang during operations which still worries me (I left it at the today screen fine ... and 30 mins later I noticed backlight was completely off and it was utterly un responsive - wouldn't respond to incoming calls). It also hangs occassionally of soft reset or power on (from a complete power off). It usually comes up fine on a subsequent soft reset.
I'm waiting for HTC to call me back so I can raise this as a call. It seems to happen regardless of today plugins being active (I disabled all) - I have also rebuilt with 4 phases of Sprite Backup to restore from - and the problem hasn't gone away.
I suspect it is firmware / software as opposed to hardware .... fingers crossed.
Aside from that I love it as a device .... I just wish one of you guys that has one will let me know if you have had any hangs at all and where you see them.
My keyboard light works fine. It has to be in low light and you have to press a button before it activates - just opening the keyboard in low light doesn't activate it.
Occasionally I turn the device on and it starts in landscape mode and then switches to portrait ... odd .. because I didn't switch it off in landscape.
There is an odd moulding mark where the stylus comes out on the curved recessed part of the body (right hand side). I thought it may be a crack but I'm pretty sure it's just where the plastic moulding was finished before painting. If it's not cracked I'm not bothered.
You can change the WM5 softkeys with Tweaks2k2.
One thing to remember is that rather than use the phone executable, the device originally used a :MSC call. Once removed you can't put it back with Tweaks2k2. It's not an issue because a normal link to phone is fine. If you want Calendar ... then use Tweaks2k2 to change it.
My keyboard works fine ... no sticky keys. Peter had one or two on his.
Paul.

Hi Rich
What are you running at the moment ?
I'm try to find out what is different between my build and yours so I can narrow down possible cause of hang.
Paul.
By the way ... my build is :
So far I have SBSH iLauncher, HandyMenu, HandSwitcher, Legato Mahjong, Billiard Master 3, Bubbleshooter, PDA Mill GameBox Classics, BeJewelled 2, 1-Calc, Phatnotes, PIEPlus, Avantgo, CO2005, Clearvue Office Pro, CPL6, FW2006, imov Messenger, NewsBreak, Resco Explorer (without the Resco Today Plugin) 5.40, Resco PhotoViewer, SBSH Pocket Breeze and Pocket Weather, Skype 2, Sprite 5.1, Tweaks2k2, PI2005, FlexMail 2.2, FlexWallet, Cabinstall, Cruxview - all installed on the MicroSD.
Aside from an apparent hang on startup last night which scared me .... I thought I'd need to hard reset but it eventually sorted itself out ... hopefully it is s/w related .... it's all going well. Did a video call with Peter last night which was fine ... first I've done and picture quality not great but usable.
3G is active and working very well. Switches mid call to 2.5g if signal drops to much, but you don't get a chattering issue (i.e. where it regularly switches between the two).
Drove from Hook to Kent with CPL6 and BT GPS yesterday and that was flawless.
Have four phases of Sprite Backup - Different levels of build - so I can decide how far back to go in the event of problems.
Circa 28 mg of program memory following sof reset
Circa 31 mg of storage memory
PB is loading PI Calendar / Tasks / Messaging / Phatnotes / Pocket Weather.
Can someone help me with my wifi problem please. I can get connected to my network ok but IE will not show any pages, it just says wrong settings. I am connected with good signal strengh and thought that i would be able to surf when on my own home network. Most of the time it serches gprs and 3g then shows the error. An idiots step through guide would be helpful. I have searched for hours but came up blank. I also need a walkthrough on how to configue vodafone MMS settings as I cant get that to work either. Customer services isnt much good as the dont really know this device yet. Thanks in advance.
Hey Paul,
I have only the followinig intalled over the base v1605:
skype2
PHM Registry Editor
Microsoft .NET CF 2.0
Aspecto Software WiFiFoFum
Handmark Monopoly
That's it......

new unit arrived and the sticking key issue is gone thank god. I hve a few things installed now and the phone is running great. I installed agile messenger beta a few minutes ago as no msn client is in the vodaphone rom and the phone looked like it crashed then a few moments later it signed into msn.
1 thing I have noticed is if I mute the volume so I get a x sign near the volune if I click around I.e start menu and click around the operating system I can hear a clicking noise. could someone else test this 4 me I am currently in a quiet room.
also noticed when using pie with keyboard slid out my view will sometimes change from landscape to portrait view and then back to normal which is strange. I am sure my faulty device did this whilst just using the operating system in general use. shed a bit of light to what I have just found is that I just put the phone down open on the case it comes with and the same thing happened it must have something to do with the magnetic metal in the case effecting the phone causing it to rotate lol well that's what I think.
No clicking sound when I mute mine. Haven't really played around with mine yet. Will install everything once I get my microsd card.
Does your phone's keyboard click into place when you slide it open and is it right side only or both? Also did you check your call timers? Are they zero or has calls been made before receiving it?
Just got my TyTN
and all i got was a lousy keyboard..
got the bad keys on my unit. Waiting for response from HTC distributor, but they halted all sales of it until resolved. There are a lot of phones with bad keyboard.
But apart from that it seems to work fine - like the Jasjar in a smaller package.
But I liked the keyboard on my I-mate k-jam a lot better.
My first one had a few keys that weren't great, t, del and spacebar. This one is good for the keyboard. But....my screen is loosing calibration all the time again which is why I was given a replacement. Moves so that it is totaly unusable! Is anyone else experiencing it? If you are not is it a Voadafone one or something else. I've told Vodafone that I'd like another one out of a different batch and they said that they will extend my exchange period for a couple of weeks until some new ones come in. Might call HTC to see if it is a known "feature". Other than that I'm still totally happy with the device and it is much better at memory handling thn the Exec ever was, It never seems to drop below 22mb of program memory after having opened and closed programs for a clouple of days. The exec would have dropped to 17 by the end of the first.

XCPUScaler 3.03 Latest version

I used this tiny App since 5 years now, and just today I bought my x7510, the first thing I did was to install it on my device, but for my amazement, it installed correctly but DID NOT SHOW ON THE SCREEN AS IT DID BEFORE, the settings screen and menus are all messedup badly to the extent that I can't read any information.
the problem is VGA Screen of my device!
plz guys can you report if it working or not on your devices? this little app work wonders for our devices, give it a try please and let me know how to configure it to SHOW correctly on my devices' screen.
P.S.: I don't use any VGA Software like TrueVGA or any sort of these, the device is just Stock. brand new.
I downloaded the latrest version from the site of the developers of this app, but still, NO GO!
Will
please HELP! Please
XCPUScaler ver 3.03 has worked fine on my x7510. I don't have it loaded at this time as I reset the device to make hard SPL a clean install. When I attempt to reinstall I'll report back, however, I am waiting for Manila ver 20 to be released before I re-install all of my apps.
VGA is NO problem
As I reported in another post here, CXPUScalar works fine with VGA in PORTRAIT mode. in landscape mode there are scroll bars to use to access the areas that are offscreen.
On a side note, I uninstalled the app due to repeatable sound problems when running XCPUScalar. I would lose all sounds until I soft-reset the device. I tried with it scaling with overclocking to 663 and without overclocking and only going to 624 and also tried it without scaling and just hard setting at both 663 and 624. Unfortunately everytime I let the software run, both manual start and auto run, it would randomly kill my sound.
I uninstalled only XCPUScalar and have not had the problem resurface.
BTW, the only time I see any slowness is on the today screen drawing the plugins. Everything else works very quickly.
I have been running XCPUScalar since I bought mine. No problems at all upon running it at constant 624. I am using it with Real VGA, no sound problems either. It was the very first application I installed before adding any other apps.

I now fixed the problem by doing one thing:
Hard Reset.... and Cancelled the Customizations that follows a fresh hard reset by resetting the device before the 3 seconds count down.
Now.... it shows properly, but as you mentioned, sometimes I just Lose Sound until another soft reset.
thank you so much for the input..
one more thing:
I just feel the device is slow when going to Programs Menu and scrolling up and down using the stylus, it just takes some lags drawing the screen, I tried playing with cache settings using Schab Adv Config. but all are invain, I JUST DON'T NOTICE ANY IMPROVEMENTS AT ALL.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO GIVE IT SMOOTHER MOTION?
VIDEOS PERFORMANCE USING CorePlayer 1.22 sucks too, we have ATI Acceleration chip and yet suffer all these! its just pain in the...
Did someone use it with WM 6.5.3?
a better question yet, did anyone try it on WM 7 yet?
I'm still on 6.1x i like it lean, and never had the time to cook my own custom ROM, one of these days i will.
running it all the time on 624, it works fine on 663, the only problem is it gets too hot after a while if i leave it on 663, probably why the OP has audio problem at higher speeds.
I always switch it back down to 624 when 663 is too hot, but i do up it to 663 when i go online, or watch video, to compensate for the lack of ATI driver support.
when i'm done i lower it back to 624, besides at 663 it sucks up too much battery, i always carry an extra battery with me in case i run out of juice, and not have any USB port nearby to refill.
Hi,
I use coreplayer 1.3.0 and switched ATI support on. When playing a 500 * 400 divx file the benchmark gives 140% playback speed so no problems here. I must say I fiddled a lot with the settings to get it working correctly. No use of CPUXSCALE but I use PocketHackMaster.

camera works but viewfinder black

Hi,
I have a very strange problem... I have a german MDA Vario IV (Raphael) and I recently flashed ROMEOS 1.12, then HTC StockROM and after a couple of days it first happened, that my camera viewfinder is completely black. The camera, however, works, i.e. it takes pictures which I can view in the album.
When I tap the screen in camera mode, I see the 3 symbols, but when I tap the preferences-wheel, nothing happens.
When Romeos 1.40 (German) came out, I flashed it - and I still have the problem. I don't quite understand it, as it worked first with the HTC Rom and after about 14days it stopped working.
Do you have any help?
I just had the same problem. Fixed by doing a hard reset...
did you flash a new radio?
I just registered to report this same issue.
I just picked up my fuze today, and was going through the steps in the noob guide before I decided to stop and just let the phone install the regular software so I could at least activate it before a new bill kicked in before the account got cancelled.
Right before I stopped going through the noob guide, I got as far as doing a soft reset right before the installing ATT bloatware and was removing some options in the guide and restarting. Then, since I just wanted to activate the phone (I had no SD card to safely try out all the steps in the noob guide, and wanted to wait for it), I did a hard reset.
After I activated my phone, I've been trying out my camera and it just shows a black screen. If I touch the screen the three buttons show up and clicking on the buttons don't do anything. Though, if I hold the enter key it clicks and takes a picture which shows up in my album.
I'm going to wait till my SD card comes in before I do another hard reset to do the install again. Hopefully the hard reset fixes the issue.
Still no one else with this issue? I have flashed NATF 4.5 as well as energy 2.0 . I have changed to two different radios and this problem has persisted. Everything works fine at first, but then within a couple of days it goes black. Everything is exactly as others have reported. Pictures take, the touch screen menus work ( selecting any setting ).... its just the viewfinder that is acting goofy. Soft resetting it will occasionally make it work again. It makes me feel as though some of us have some software somewhere that isnt acting as it should. I googled the issue to no avail.
Any gurus able to shed some light on this matter?
Currently running:
HardSpl 1.9
EnergyRom 2.0
Radio 1.02.25.32
I am running Shep's 3.0 rom with the new 1.12.25.19 radio and I have just recently had this viewfinder problem arise as well. I am about to flash Shep's new 3F and will check the camera after hard reset.
Is anyone running additional programs when this arises? I had thought there was a conflict with freecaddie as I was on the golf course when I noticed the problem but maybe this is more widespread?

Of the programs you listed, Skyfire is the only one I am also running. I just completed my flash and turned the camera on prior to installing any apps, cabs, etc... and the viewfinder worked fine.
I am in the process of adding my customizations back on, doing a PIM restore, and installing cabs and will edit my post later to report whether it continues to function correctly.
After setting things up the way I like them and a full day of use, the viewfinder still works fine. I am baffled as to the cause but as long as its works I won't complain.
To those still having the problem, I would recommend a hard reset at a minimum or perhaps try a new rom.

This was an issue with RRE's roms a while back. Not sure what he did to fix it but I know he tweaked a flashed new versions about 100 times in one day! I would post the question in your respective rom's threads and see if the cooks have a better idea. I would bet that there is a file or setting common to all of the roms listed here that is causing the problem.
Im running the stock rom in a 1 1/2 month old Fuze
The Black screen happens to me, if too much sunlight gets thru on superfine settings. (i hold it facing directly into the sun) It seems to blow out the picture (goes all white) -then theres no display at all (black) unless i exit camera and restart.
Camera viewfinder is black
Hi,
there is a fix for this on the htc asia site, if you go to the support tab and look at the downloads for touchpro, I am not sure its for all phone as it asked for my serial number and told me it was not for my phone, on this site at least it seemed to be for hong kong, singapore & china, Perhaps check the htc site for your location.
Good Luck

Hardware keyboard not responding

I'm having a strange issue with my HW keyboard.
The keyboard is working fine most of the time. But there are moments it doesn't respond (ones a week).
Example: When I open the keyboard and start writing a mail it's working fine. But after two rows text it's just not reacting anymore. Even the keyboard-backlight is turning off.
When I close and reopen the keyboard it's still not working. Even the keyboard-backlight stays off after pressing any hardware button.
Solution: Wait for 15minutes.
Tried fixes for HW keyboard lag without success.
This is what I have:
T-mobile NL rom
Rom: 1.69.114.6 NLD
Radio: 1.02.25.19
Is there anyone else experience this issue with a T-mobile ROM?
Or is there a fix for this.
Thanks in advance
Assume you have WiFi on? Go into the WiFi settings and the power mode of the WiFi, if it is set to best performance change it to best battery, or do the opposite. Not 100% sure why this works but its something to do with power and comms interferance.
Mmm have seen this fix before in other threads.
Somehow i'm losing network connection when I switch the energie bar to someting else then "Best performance". Think it have something to do with my old wireless router. Will test this today on my work. Thank Gav_
Hi there,
I have seen a simular issue on my Touch Pro as well - Keyboard is not responding as soon wifi is turned on manually.
I have encountered this first while using IM (Beejive and also QIP). Having data connections turned on and activating wifi while data connections are on will stop the keyboard from responding.
Solution for me is to turn off either the data connection after turning on wifi and / or switching wifi on/off two times.
I use the stock rom and wifi energy option is set to best battery. Is this a known issue that the keyboard has glitches with wifi?
Rom: 1.90.407.4 GER
Radio: 1.02.25.19
Performence bar
Changed the energie bar a few times yesterday. To test on which position this issue appears.
And guess what?
Keyboard stopped responding when the bar was placed on the "best performance" position.
I've configureerd it to "best battery" (think this is the name, I'm having the Dutch Rom )
Still don't understand what Wifi have to do with the keyboard. Is WM using the same driver to start / stop Wifi or keyboard?
Anyway I think/hope it's solved by setting the performance bar to "best battery".
Thanks guys
still have issues with hw keyboard
I have an unsolved Issue with the Hardware Keyboard of my HTC Fuze.
When i turn on the Wifi, the HQ keyboard becomes totally unresponsive and unusable. Keyboard lights turned off, and i have to Reset or turn off the Wifi in order to get the Keyboard back to function. (it back to life after couple of minutes)
I have searched for any possible solution in the forum and google without luck
i have tried all fixes i have found in this forum so far:
-modify the up/down repeat rate
-disabling t9/cleartype
-adjusting wifi to middle, better battery and better performance
-RR Keyboard Speed Increase.cab
After all this attempts, my Keyboard still tend to die. Anyway it works well with the Data Plan, with no Lag at all. So is definitely a Wifi Issue.
Hardware keyboard Not working for Htc touch pro
Hi, My HTC touch pro slid out keyboard was working fine but after updating ROM to English it had stop working. can anyone tell me what is the problem?
I've been having intermittent keyboard issues for a while. Sometimes it won't respond until a sort reset while other times it'll just suddenly start working again. I had no idea it was a WiFi related issue. My Kaiser did the same sometimes.
Now the damn spacebar is playing up. It either identifies a press as two spaces requiring the use of the delete key every time or it just won't recognise key presses. It's infuriating. Anyone come across this before or will it require a manual (warranty) fix?
keyboard issues
I had issues with my keyboard stopping intermittently it would work sometimes and not others. It would rotate screen when I popped it out then it wouldnt type and a few seconds later the backlight on the kbd would go out. I flashed to a different rom and that helped sometimes but not others. Then right before going to sprint and asking for a replacement I flashed back to their stock rom for a week, still no kbd. But magically when I re-locked the phone the keyboard is back to normal.. still had the phone swapped out just incase it was something else. I hardly ever use the wifi so I don't think that was my issue, it was off the whole time I had the issue. New phone works great.

[Q] touch screen malfunction

hi,
I'm not sure when exactly this issue started on my phone, but I updated my touch pro with the chevron updater and have quite a lot of apps installed.
after several seconds workling with the phone, the touch screen stops working while the phone acts perfectly normal. I can use the keyboard and tilt the phone but I cannot use the touch screen anymore.
By turning the phone off and on it works again.
has anyone experienced a behavior like this?
I noticed my touchscreen becoming unresponsive when loading particular websites. Even had it freeze once (only time it ever froze on me)
What were you doing when it does this? Do you have the multitasking reg edit on?

after several seconds workling with the phone, the touch screen stops working while the phone acts perfectly normal. I can use the keyboard and tilt the phone but I cannot use the touch screen anymore.
By turning the phone off and on it works again.
has anyone experienced a behavior like this?

I know this is an old thread but this is the only reference to the exact same problem that I'm having. I'm having difficulty putting this down to hardware as the screen becomes responsive again when locking and unlocking which might point to software.
It could be a hardware issue that is resolved by locking then unlocking the phone but I don't know enough about the construction of it to have an opinion.
The advice I've had from htc is to wipe the 'phone and start again but I don't expect that to solve it (especially as their call handling system refers to Window Mobile 7 - the second large commercial organisation I've seen that on in recent weeks without looking too hard!).
Has anyone else seen this since the original post or @exilkubaner was a solution found to your problem?
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. I hard reset my HTC 7 Pro, but no success, my screen doesn't respond until i lock/unlock the device.
So, any one have resolved this issue since the first post ?
Regards
Had the same issue, but I didn't have any roms installed.
Brought it in to Sprint and they found that I had a fried ribbon connecting the screen to the phone. Replaced under warranty.
It happened again, I determined that it was caused by my click in belt clip/holster. When I pull the phone out, it pulls the screen away from the keyboard a bit.
^Wow. Nice find. I'll have to be careful with mine now as I could easily run in to the same problem pulling it out like that.
