Hi, i've had my XDA II from O2 for 3 weeks now and have a few questions.
I seem to find that most, say 7 out of 10, times I use the O2 Task Manager from the O2 Active menu the device either freezes (I have to soft reset) or soft resets on it's own.
Was using XDAII yesterday with TomTom 2.24 (with GPS 2.09) connected to a CRUXII BT GPS device. Also had my Jabra 250 BT headset connected. Experienced several instances of this freezing when making calls, and then needing to get back to the TomTom s/w. Sometimes I couldn't get back to the TT software from the Start menu, hence trying the O2 Task Manager.
I'm not saying this always happens with the TomTom software in use (will be upgrading to V3 soon), but this was definately running yesterday when this was happening.
Many thanks in advance.
PS device has latest O2 UK ROM (v1.60.50).
PSS can't wait for the upgraded Wisbar Adv with Phone support Never had this problem(s) with TT on iPAQ 5550 and Wisbar Adv.
I'm getting fed up with the amount of times I have to reset the thing too. It is usually about 5 times a day and I am not running programms on top of each other so I am not overloading the CPU

I have installed Tom Tom 3 software on my XDA 2 and it "freezes" during navigation for no apparent reason. It also crashes the nav software when the phone has an incoming call. Have spoken to both 02 and Tom Tom who both blame each other (no change there then) have updated software from both and completley cleared software with a hard reboot and re-installed Tom Tom to no avail.
Any ideas???
Which type of gps are you using, what are your gps settings, are you using bluetooth tools, are you using the latest gps driver from www.tomtom.com, does it crash only on incoming call. :?:
Are you using the Traffic plug-in? that's really buggy and works poorly - used to crash mine regularly (xda II w/ bluetooth)
I am now using for 4 days the 1.72 ROM (incl the essential Extended Rom stuff). I bonded my BT GPS, it configured automatically COM5.
Since then I occasionally have freezes in the TomTom navigator (TTN & TTGPS 3.03): Navigation screen seems to 'hang'. I am able to tap the screen though and exit TomTom the official way. When I restart TTN it works again until the next unpredictable freeze.
No direct link to the Phone application.
Beforehand I used the 1.72 ROM with some 1.60.36 T-Mobile customizations (incl. some bluetooth stuf in OEM_WWE_03120301.sa.CAB ). At first this gave some trouble, but after fiddling around (install Pocket Bluetools & de-installed it) I managed to connect my BT GPS using 'Bluetooth GPS' in TomTom3 and it all worked like a charm. Only setback was that I could not approach my Bt GPS via a COM port. (And I want that to occasionally enable/disable WAAS/EGNOS)
Any clues???
Hi, Firstly thank's for posting the unlock code's for Xda 2 , very good , However i use the 3 network ( somebodys got to) and it is still locked , so i,m using my old pay as you go sim, but that's not the prob, when using tomtom 5 (and 3) and i get a call come through tom tom freezes up and will only work again after a soft restart , has any body else suffered the same or know of any fix's?????

Tom Tom 5 and XDA 2
I recently upgraded from TT3 to TT5, the only real problem I get is the phone ringer and caller display does not ring or display propperly.
My Jabra BT250 is slow in responding and answering when the button is pressed.
One other bugbare is not being able to see the Start Menu Bar when running TT5 as unable to see if you have a phone signal or received a text or missed a call.
Any help on these matters would be greatly apprecieated.
Thanks
ROM 1.7.2.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
Ext Rom 1.72.18i1
It seem's every xda has different problem's , when my phone ring's it do's take a second to ring in the BT headset and about another second when the button is pressed to answer the call , and i get a balloon come up to say who is calling but i think that is part of Fonix voice dial. Icannot see away round including the start menu while running tt5 or 3 , so does tom tom freeze when you get a call or change phone arials??, sorry i could'nt be any more help
rom v, 1.72.00
radio v 1.17.00
ext rom v 1.72.181
I have been using TT3 extensively past year and recently upgraded to TT5.
No real issues.
THE issue with TT3 was that when my BT GPS was out of reach and i started TT3, it almost locked up my whole device (had to soft-reset). I found out is has something to do with my BT GPS. Aparantly WM2003SE does not have this issue.
next to this, I noticed frequent freezes IF I had actoivated POI. Tested this with several (also Toshiba and Panasonic made) SD Cards.
With TT5 these problems are gone.
The only thing I noticed when using TT5 is when I try to start a phne call the display is not properly build up: all except the numbered buttons are there.
No freezes whatsoever here anymore.
All in all still an improvement.
Tom tom 5 icm socket/emtac gps
I upgraded to ttn5 but cant get my gps to fix

any Ideas how to activate those com ports ?
Thanx

use tomtom5patch from this site and place it in startup folder, then soft reset and try again
use tomtom5patch from this site and place it in startup folder, then soft reset and try again
@pleun: Where do we find this patch (searched for it but no results) and what does it do?
Advice
I'm considering buying TT5 but am a bit concerned about all the problems people are having. I noticed on tomtom's website it is compatible with the XDA 2. Would it be best to buy this package as it all comes complete on an SD card tomtom have tested, or, go for TT3 - people are selling these on ebay really cheap??
TT5 and XDA2
I am running TT5 with the GB Plus map on the XDA2 without any problems.
You must use a BT or serial GPS connection. Get a good mount which has a RJ11 connector for the TT serial GPS or use a Y cable for something like the HAICOM PS2.
XDA2 512 SD
SIN MERGED
RADIO 1.8
WM2003SE
it makes com 5 visible to tomtom.
Can anyone help with this,
I have an O2 Exec (Latest O2 ROM etc)
I have a Bluetooth GPS & Bluetooth Headset, when using the GPS, if a call comes in I can answer it on the headset, but the GPS goes all screwy, starts losing position, even after the call is ended the GPS is erratic
I have installed Buzzs Bluetooth Patch, and no effect,
Its a bit of a pain if I can't use a Bluetooth headset and GPS at the same time.
Anyone had this and found a cure?.
EXEC, Details are
1.13.82 WWE
11/30/05
1.04.02
42.37.P8
1.13.118 WWE
Help appreciated
Thanks
Richard
Richard im on the same rom as you but without the bt patch and ive no problems
alix776,
I will try it again later on, I had the problem before I installed the patch, so I installed it to see if it cured it, but it didn't
I will do a hard rest later and start from scratch again, see if that helps,
I didn't have any problems using the same BT Headset on an XDA 2i, so assumed it would work ok on the EXEC, the only change to the setup is the GPS unit, I am using a really cheap and cruddy £30 jobbie off ebay (Its only 8 Ch, and seems a bit flaky!),
I will have a new Sirf3 unit arriving in a few days, so can try that to see if the problem is with the cheap BT GPS!.
I need to get a solution sorted in the next 10 days before going back to work in the US, or I will have to take the TTOne with me if I can't get this setup working 100%
Cheers
Richard

I just tried it again from a hard reset and the same problem
GPS works fine till I answer a call, then It stalls and loses GPS Position till I hang up, then GPS connects again but there is massive lag and the Map is nowhere near its true position,
Not cured until you exit TT and restart,
How did you install TT, I copied the cabs across and installed from the SD, I paired the GPS and set it to COM0, then in TT5 selected Other Bluetooth GPS and COM0.. am I doing something wrong with the way I am trying to get it installed
This has always worked on all the other systems I have used!
Cheers
Richard
I have the same problem and other...
I have the same problem when using Tom Tom ,if I pick a call with my BT headset the gps lost the position and when I close the phone call TT says No GPS device.......it restarts by himself after few mins , but the position is uncorrect, it has like a sort of delay, the arrow on the display "follows me" 2 or 3 Km behind.
So, mi car is quite fast..but be faster than a navigation device is very funny...
Btw my gps antena is an Hamlet HBTGPS
Other problem I have is that Tomtom 5.21 don't allow me to use my TT5.00 maps,it only see Italy ,Iberia and UK...
I think I will get Navigon asap....
Bye...
just a thought have you tried formating the storage card and reinstalling the map just back it up first in using a sirf3 apos and jabra 250v headset ive also used a ttmk2 bt receiver with no probs either
Same here
I am also getting this issue on an SPW M5000, flashed to the Imate test rom. I don't know if it was happening before on the original (crappy) orange rom that it shipped with as I had to upgrade my GPS to a bluetooth from a mouse.
It is a real pain not being able to use them both together and I'm tied to the phone with a wire at the minute.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
I have an MDA VARIO II which has the following
Rom Version 1.21.110.3
Rom Date: 06/19/06
Radio Version: 1.16
I have 2 problems one being that whenever i use Tomtom6 the program just freezes and locks the device, forcing me to reset the device. This appears to be related to the 3G and push settings as when I turn push "off" although the device still locks up on Tomtom, if i press the call cancel button and then press tomtom again it comes back working thus not requiring a full reset, anyone have any input on this as to why this happens ? i even went so far as to disabling the 3G and putting the device to GSM, this seems to solve the problem and tomtom does not lockup at all. This is of course not ideal as involves changing stuff manually before i set off in my car and remembering to put it back on.
Also my other problem is the car kit. I have a CK7W bluetooth kit, this works fine on my old o2 xda mini s device but with my new Vario II i have problems in the fact that I can hear people talking but when i talk they either cannot hear me or it comes through in spits and spurts.
Any advice appreciated.
or do i need to upgrade to TTV6?
yes
Yes, TT5.21 works fine. I use the LVSW version and used the WMXL. In both configuration TT5.21 worked.
OK, thanks. I must have some other problem then
Don't suppose you know if TT 5.21 works better then TT6 on WM6. I have more lockups and freezes on my phone when I have TT installed (even if it's not running). It's not much, it seems every day or two it freezes but usually I don't realize (service lights keep blinkin away) and I miss calls
I'm running (or trying to run) TT6 on my WM6 LVSW ROM SPV M3100. Not had any problems with any other aps but TT6 is constantly locking up. I'm currently running TT6 V 6.03 but have also tried V6.02 which also seems to have serious ssues with WM6. I'll be keeping a close eye on the TomTom website for software upgrades!

One thing I did find that HELPS is be sure you install the software onto your system itself and not an external card. You can store maps and voices on the the card but when you have TT6 running off the card and it crashes, I was left only with the option of resetting. Running off the system itself, half of the time I could hit the end call button on the phone and it would minimize tom tom. Then when I reclicked the tom tom link, it would start responding again or I could close it and kill it fromt he control panel and restart. I still have the occasional hard freezes none the less but this is a lot better as 75% of the time I can recover
I think it already is installed to the main memory cus the .exe is located in the main memory Programs folder. I'm regularly hitting the red answer release and ok buttons too. Just such a pain. Come n TomTom. I did a search on on their website and theres is no mention of WM6 anywhere!

Probably because WM6 isn't officially out. It's been officially announced but we are not using final software. I suspect some time after the final version is out, they will release a new version supporting it.
Running TomTom5.21
No issues at all on WM6 Black 1.2 runs even better then on WM5, the UI is much quicker in WM6. Even turning on my GPS unit has instant access, I always had issues with WM5, I had to "refresh" the GPS under bluetooth for TomTom to find it.
Running it on an imate JasJam.
i re-installed it after loading WM6 Black and now it works great. Used to startup in 60 seconds on WM5. Now approx 12 secs on WM6 - brilliant
Tom Tom 6 v6.030 on WM5 2.11 ROM without any problems here.
Startup is around 6-8 seconds (I have a crappy Bluetooth GPS so sat lock-on takes a bit longer) and lockup free. Went on a 160 mile round trip last weekend and never had a single problem.
