Hello
I will shortly be the lucky (I hope if the purchase goes ok) owner of a Ipaq 6915 and wanted to know if anyone has got any experience at all with running TomTom on this unit...?
I have found the software that I want to buy....
http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?quicklinx=48M0&fb=22&InMerch=1
...but I am struggling to know if it will work on my device. I am reading of problems with maps not found or TomTom only supporting devices that are on their list of approved devices, I'm not sure if that is right....?
Reading the link above I can't see the 6915 listed and would appreciate any help on whether I should buy from them and am I right in assuming that there are no demo of this software to test compatibility...???
I have mailed TomTom support from my account but still have not got a reply.
Sorry if the above is a really obvious question but I am rather new at this.
Actually the 6915 should come with a built in version of TomTom (the model I've seen had it, but this may very depending on region) specialized for it. It also has a map downloading app, but you will need to pay for an account.
I suggest you wait until you receive the device before considering purchasing additional navigation software.
<hangs head in embarrassment> - thanks for your help, it shows how new I am to thing. I understood it had a built in GPS but I didn't know a version of TT come built in, it seems to get better..!!!!
When you write about it needing an account would that be to register for the map in the area that I live...?
No need to be embarrassed.
GPS PDA / phones don't usually come with a built in navigation software. HP did good on this one.
I am not sure how it works exactly. I just saw that the app can download one free map as an example, some small area I think.
I know you need to pay if you want to download additional maps, but I have no idea how the registration process works.
I only had the device to play with for a few days, so I didn't get very far with it (Not to spoil your joy of the new toy but I really didn't like the square screen).
Thanks for your help, again. I will now wait to conclude the purchase of the device (the seller is waiting for his latest gadget before letting me buy the 6915)
I have spent so long trawling through forums and posts to find out as much as I can (obviously it didn't do me much good) on whether TomTom is approved on the device and will work. And then what I need to buy.
Good job they didn't have TT in stock at the above supplier as I would have bought it ready, now that would have been an embarrassment....!!!!
Thankyou again for your help and maybe its just me but my navigation skills around TomTom's website on finding more information is poor, I suppose that is why I need the GPS function....!!!!
Here is hoping that I only need to have ONE device and not a pocket full of the things, including several chargers and leads...!!!!!!
Well, I have been using this ipaq with TT version 6 and without any problems. The original ipaq did come with a TomTom pre-installed with a map of a small area. Well, I ended up installing another copy of TT6 - had no problems at all. A very good PDA - used to use xda2i earlier, but now do not need to carry any gps receiver as it is built in.
Thanks for the feedback spahwa - with it having the built in GPS, and other features, that is why I am interested in it. This means I will hopefully only have one device to carry around etc etc etc.
Glad to see that TT6 can be installed if required.
ttn6 is a great app... the 6515 however uses agps, so be warned. it requires the download of lto dat files every 3 days or else the gps wont function there are alternative 10 day lto files out there...
i was unhappy with the performance, or more accurately, the way the agps system works on my 6515 and more recently my 6945... ttn6 installed fine to both devices. i currently run ttn6 on my h5555 ipaq with a navman sleeve. i also like iguidance for either device.
just wanted to give you a heads up about the agps, cause i didnt know anything about it untill ofter the fact. there are devices out ther with different chipsets and quicker satelite recognition, so shop around a bit if you can

mmm... You certainly have given me something to think about that I wasn't aware of that could real implications on the practical use of the device.
Thanks VERY much for your post.
i should add that my primary device is an hw6945 and im very happy with it. although i dont use it as my primary gps device, its a very well rounded device. the only short-comming is the 240x240 screen which for some is a huge limitation (for me its not too bad as i have other devices which fill the void)... again, i would read into some alternatives before you dive into something. there are many devies and many new devices that are coming out with gps now

edit: i would google "6515 tt6" and like searches to get a feel of some of the issues people have been dealing with regarding tomtom, and the agps unit on this device in general

that's not true. the GPS will still function w/o the lto files, although the ttff may be affecte as a result. There's a tweak (let me know if you don't have) to download the 10 day lto files, but otherwise, I don't really think this is a showstopper. The performance of the agps is defnitely on par with a sirf3 chip in a mobile device.

I am happy with the performance, no problem with the fix or what soever.
"There's a tweak (let me know if you don't have) to download the 10 day lto files"
... idont have please enlighten me is this based on either device or limited to the 6515, as im using a 6945 at this point...
thanks,
john
srry, doublepost
hey i also own a hw6945 and i was wondering if you have anywhere specifically where i can get programs for this screen size? im particually looking for an aim program that fits this screen sizze....thx
On my HW6915 there is no single problem running TT5. TT6 also runs great, however TT5 runs smoother.
Although AGPS is builtin, there's no need to use this software. Without updates the builtin GPS normally gets a fix within a minute.
i bought the hp 6915 at christmas and its the first pda ive had, i installed tt 6 on it and it works fine for me,
as far as the tomtom they give you on the hp 6915 is the vertion 4.0
you can the download for free a map of your town but you will have to buy any other maps or download them on bit torrent (grin)
if you do that there is a small mod to do in the windows system if tomtom can't find the gps radio
change the "IsEnabled de 1 to 0." in the \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\section using a system editer like resco
What is true though is the screen size is too small. The next pda i buy will definatly have a bigger screen but the hp is certainly a pda swiss army knife
thats my opinion anyway

6915 manual said that the 4 files for the gps can be downloaded through activesink but i use free wifi spots to download them every few days.
the main advantage about agps is that it get's fix much faster
Ehi guys, know something about? Check out this pic I found, think we should hold our breath, 8.0 and 8.1 on their way!
EDIT: picture deleted, see post n.3.
the picture is very small can't see a thing really.

You're right, but pic size is limited here on XDA. However, here it is, original size!
You can see "PNA/PDA - 7.9, 8.0, 8.1" in a column on the right.
Where did you get that picture, cos to me it means nothing.
Looks like someone just made up a list of what maps work on what versions of the software. Doesn't look like it came from TomTom themselves.
its right that is used for people who crack maps so they know which version to use, as for tomtom 8 i think not, as when i asked tomtom they said basically that pda owners have been put on the bottom of list for updates and other features like lane guidence.
Don't hold your breath. TomTom don't really care about PDA users these days.
You got it, I got this in a file sharing site in their GPS section... it isn't warez, just a compatibility map which tickled my immagination, so I was asking if anyone got any info about it because I couldn't find anything googling.
i do think tt8 is coming... though by that time they've already moved to version 9 or 10. so pda user will lack behind again.
any updates on that?
will there be a new version for ppc?
or will tomtom just go for the iphone?
Any news guys?
Hi,
I was updating a tomtom for my friend with 9.xxx nav core and latest maps and guys, it is awesome.
Why is everyone avoiding to keep developing apps for wince when there is still plenty of user who would pay for it?
Tomtom is pushing through to bloody iphone putting PDA versions totaly asside.
Is it not possible to port the PNA version to PDA somehow? Probably not as it would have been done before
It might be due to bussiness with iphone as they have a contract with them for sure and apple might have a condition that Tomtom won't be developing a PDA application no more. Very sad.
Indeed, I have spent too many days for a qualified navigator software since Navigator 6 for WM 6.5 has been terminated and there is no update on the maps anymore. I would have to accept a fact that drop my X51v and just use my Nokia E5....
hi @ all
any updates on that?
will there be a new version for ppc?
I think Tomtom have stopped developing for PPC. They are concentrating on PNA devices only.
Hi all, I'm searching for a program I had on my Diamond when I was running windows mobile 6.1. It allows you to swipe your finger, from up to down or vice versa, on either side of the touchpad to launch an assigned program.
I have no idea what it's called and can not for some reason find any information about it at all. If someone out there knows what it is called (or better yet a link to it), I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you for your time and please don't tell me that I have been using this program in my imagination for the last six or so months. ;-)
I knew I wasn't crazy (completely)
Amazingly no one relpied with in almost 24hrs. I guess no one likes me here . On the plus side I found the application . It's name is Butler and can be found here
Code:

Thanks anyway people. I hope at least one person finds this useful.
Hi guys,
I'm in the process of making an app for my HD2, which will be the first time I have ever programmed anything for a mobile phone
Is it possible to add a new tab? I imagine it is. So how does one go about adding a new tab? Is there some sort of HTC HD2 API documented somewhere that I can consult?
Much appreciated if you can help I've done a bit of searching on the forums and haven't found anything that answers my first question.
The only app. I've ever seen that is embedded in Manila as a seperate tab is found here
Maybe you can contact the developer?
Good luck (hope you come up with something useful you can share with us?)
Thanks, I've just sent the dev an email
If it works as I plan it to work, I shall share it
The dev didn't not create it
Manila TV PLayer is a tab to add in TF3D & TF3D2 but in this the landscape don't work properly.
This add-on is based on tab from orange tab tv i'm modificated to work with all languagues and other streams.
It's orange that created it
Okay I haven't posted before.
And I know xda is rather strict with the rules so I've thoroughly searched for what I'm looking for and I really hope I'm posting in the right place.
Because I haven't found it and so I hope someone can help me out.
Recently I bought an external keyboard that connects via bluetooth to my Galaxy Note II N7100. I bought it because my school allows me to take notes on the device instead of hand writing everything.
But one day, I was in the library doing some homework and I got a little bored.
So I opened the '30th anniversary of pacman' game that Google once put on their page (if you don't know what I'm talking about, just Google "30th anniversary of Pacman Google").
To my surprise, the keys on the external keyboard were able to control my Pacman!
So this got me thinking.
What if I could control more than just Pacman with my keyboard?
Boost 2, for example?
So i was wondering, is there anyway I'd be able to control the accelerometer with my arrow keys?
And if so, can someone tell me how i would do this?
I've rooted my phablet and I'm able to decompile/recompile, navigate and edit files, etc.
I just need to know what exactly needs to be changed to allow such a feat.
So please, for the sake of procrastination...
Help?
Thanks in advance,
Josh.
