I have TomTom and i want to use the plugin for the today screen but i cant activate the GPS if i open up TomTom with the today screen plugin or if i open it up through my programs menu (i need to use AstroGPS Launcher)... is there a way to keep the plugin but change it so it opens up the AstroGPS link instead of the regular TomTom one???
Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a screen lock for Tomtom software. I have the polaris running V7 of tomtom. The problem is I use it with the motorbike and earpiece.
So basically I set the destination, drop it in my pockets and listen for directions however the screen needs to be active. If it looses focus or the screen goes blank then directions updates stop. Otherwise the screen keeps getting pressed while riding so directions get interrupted.
Anyway I can get around this. tom tom screen lock would be great.
Hi Dusty, I'm a biker too so I already faced (and solved) that!
There are two problems using TomTom as we need to use:
1. if Polaris goes in sleep mode (blank screen), TomTom looses focus and stops working;
2. random screen taps (typically wen you store your PDA in a pocket) can of course modify/interrupts itineraries.
To solve both of them, I suggest you not to use any third parties' screen lock.
Just do as follows:
set your battery saver off (so your Polaris never get sleep);
launch TomTom and choose your destination;
go back to WM without quitting TomTom (you can easily do that setting one of the hw buttons to launch "Today" screen);
use stock WM screen lock
enjoy your ride
Hi
Could you, please, explain what is "stock WM screen lock" exactly?
Does it a 3rd party application itself?
I have TomTom V6. I stops to respond when it goes to the system tray, which means that the trick with "Today" is not good enough for TT V6.
Regards.
PS. Correction: I was wrong, TomTom V6 works when in the system tray
The stock WM screen locker is an utility I've found preloaded on my Polaris so I do believe is a standard WM tool (see first picture, it's the red rounded icon).
I also have TT6 (see second picture) and it continues to work fine when I press the Hw button that brings me to "Today" (I assigned the "explorer" button, but you can configure any other Hw command).
Thank you very much, deepblue68
I was wrong, your advise works fine!
Best regards!
Hmmm
I think the key is disabling screen saver/poweroff which is what it will do when on the home screen.
I have re-felashed my phone now and can't find a lock function (do know what you are talking about. Sure its just a little menu option somewhere.
Hi all,
I tried to use Tom Tom 7 the other day and it seems that when I lock the screen via the Today screen the TT Application no longer is the active Application and therefore no Audio Commands can be heard.
I run Windows 6.1 on my Polaris and I think it worked on my Old XDA as I used it together with the Radio & TomTom at the same time when riding the bike.
Is there a way to deactivate the Keypad in order to prevent TomTom to stop navigating?
I tried with the Screen Turn of Button but that has the same effect, TomTom is no longer the active task and stops "speaking"

Hello peeps!
Has any1 here ever successfully managed to disable the awful 8 icon landscape panel the raphael switches to whenever you slide out the keyboard?
thanx
Know it's possible as it can be activated on Diamond so it's just the opposite, search for activate landscape action screen diamond or the likes.
Another option is to Hard-SPL your phone and update ROM to TF3D 2.1 as it has lanscape
