Hi all
Apologies if duplicate thread as i have checked as much as I could for it.
I have recently changed over to T-Mobile UK MDA Compact from XDA II.
What I want to know is has anyone used the Compact with TomTom 3? If so, can you please tell me how u got it to work.
Also, is there any way of upgrading the RAM from 64Mb.
One more thing how do you get rid of all the generic T-Mobile stuff that comes pre-installed. I amd having difficulties getting rid of the GPRS Monitor.
Any help with this greatly appreciated.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
I used the setup on the CD and it installed like any other application. Worked great, and now I am using TomTom 5, which also works well.
I've got tom Tom 3 on my MDA Compact working with a bluetooth Fortuna Clip On GPS Receiver.
I found that you had to upgrade the GPS drivers from 2.06 or 2.07 (which came with my Tom Tom software) to 3.07 as these are the only ones that work with WM2003 SE. You can download them from the Tom Tom website.
Cheers

thank you all. I've finally managed to get it working.
Discovered the problem was with my laptop rather then anything to d with the MDA Compact or TomTom.
Thanks all

Hi I have an O2 XDA2i. while navigating with tomtom, if a call comes in and I answer it I cannot hear anyone, not sure if they can hear me either. I am using a Bluetooth GPS. Does anybody have a fix for this? or am I alone in this problem ? Also, even if I close tomtom down I cannot get hear anything while making a call...only option is to reset the phone.
...grrrrr.......
on a side note..... Does anyone have an XDA2i that has a blutooth car kit that works without echos?
Cheers,
Gary.
Installing the Tom Tom GPS 3.07 update reslved a lot of the problems I have using Tom Tom BT and a BT headset.
Install it after everything else and remove SD card before install.
still locks up every now and again but its about as good as I can get it to work.
Tom Tom don;t seem to give a damn about this problem.
There's nothing like a satisfied customer and I'm nothing like a satisfied customer
@princegary
please check this link:
http://www.tomtom.com/support/right...n/uk.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1719
as tomtom declares:
...Therefore this update can also be used if you have:
an HP63xx Pocket PC (+ Bluetooth GPS)
MDA2/XDA2/QTEK2020
so it is not really for xda2i, but you'll see... (I don't see a reason for not working with it)

I do not know, that you only mistyped or really used TomTom GPS 3.07 INSTEAD OF TomTom Navigator 3.07, but if so - give it another try...
Maybe it helps to be satisfied! 8)
I tried the full 3.07 update and same problem still existsed.
I've now installed the 5.0 upgrade and this does seem to have resolved the problem.
All is not perfect as Tom Tom has stopped running twice for no apparent reason but all I need do is restart the application. I think it might be more to do with it loosing the GPS BT signal rather than a problem with the software compatibility. Only two days in so I'll let you all know how I get on through the week.
the only problem I had with tt3.07 on my xdaII, that sometimes it loaded so slowly, I started it more than once - after a soft reset, the problem's gone
but never stopped during/because of a call (neither destinator 3.075 did so far)
so, maybe just your device...
I upgraded to wm2005g and tt5 and having no problem at all (so far :wink: )
As I mentioned TTN5 seems much better, much more stable.
Would love to upgrade to WM2005 but as I understand it it doesn't work on the XDA2i only the XDA2 and the XDA2s.
HI there,
Does TOMTOM 5 work fine on XDA IIi? I have just read another forum here, that TOMTOM 5 is not compatible with the XDA IIi
I am about to upgrade and get the XDA IIi, i would appreciate if you could let me know.
thanks

I upgraded across the weekend and so far Tom Tom Nav 5 has worked pretty well on the XDA2i.
As mentioned it has given up on me twice but I don't think this is due to incompatibility
thanks for the quick reply, just one more question please what GPS receiver are you using?
thanks in advance
Regards
nya
It's unbadged, bought it off of e-bay, please see link below

I installed TomTom 5 and the problem is solved! Call came in and I thought Damn... but I picked up the call and it was fine TomTom even resumed after the call which I was amazed at.
My only problem now is that I got a new 1gb card and tomtom hates it, or atleast my XDA2i does. Would it be better for me to just buy a 512mb for my sat nav apps? or is there a recommended brand of 1/2gb card that works happily on the XDA2i and TOMTOM 5?
Somebody any experiance with TOM TOM ?? :shock:

Yes , I have . What do you want to know . :lol:
Yes is working fine. The only thing is that I can't put in the acces points from T-mobile. Flitspalen isn't a problem.

Does it work fine with a 200 Mhz proccesor off the MSA Vario??
Isn't Slow?
You need to forget all about the 200mhz thing, it's a texas instruments CPU not Intel so isn't relevant. It's a dual core CPU as well don't forget.
In my experience TomTom5 seems slightly slower starting up initially maybe 1-2 minutes but after it has started i personally think it out performs my old Blue Angel. route planning is pretty quick and re-planning if you make a mistake seems to happen in a split second.

i am tring to instal TOM TOM 5 on my T-mobilr MDA VARIO
When i am done nothing happens.
It seems thet it is instaled but there is no tom tom logo to start tomtom??
HELPPPPPPPP
I had the same problem, then I found somewhere on the TomTom website that the MDA Vario (K-Jam) needs the 5.21 upgrade to work. This worked like a charm. I presume this is now the version they ship as TomTom 5 as the compatibility list now includes the K-Jam: http://www.tomtom.com/products/features.php?ID=109&Language=1

Hallo, did you install the "old" version 5.0 software first and than upgrade5.21 over ? Or can I use the file "Upgrade 5.21" as a pure initeal installation of TomTom ?
I did the original install like you where nothing seems to happen after the install, then ran the 5.21 update and everything works.
tomtom on MDA vario
Hi, I have downloaded a lot of cracks for tomtom 5.21 and replaced the .exe file on the MDA Vario but tomtom does not start. It just hangs??? I tries with an other MDA Vario and I had the same problem. I can not be the only one with this problem I hope you can help me.
Get a proper patch frot tomtom 5.21 not duff ones that make the system hang and do pretty much squat all.
I have the same question I use the cracked file to replace the original one, then I start tomtom5 it hang up at first when there appear the import notice. by the way, I install 5.21,anyone can help me. many thanks.

I have been told that the M5000 is not supported by tom tom. i have a mate though that says he know a few people that have managed to get it working on their SPV m5000 or XDA Exec's. Can anyone help - it was a big reason for moving from blackberry and I'm gutted I didn't go for the M2000 instead for that reason (even though I would loose the wireless ability).
you nead v5.21. I have it running on my m5000.
you have to install each cab file inturn.
see here for full details of install

As my old trusty XDA11 has packed up, I now have a new o2 XDA mini 's' (Wizard). Trouble is, Tomtom Navigator 3 (as worked ok on the XDA11), won't install. Tomtom tell me it's incompatible, but the guy in the o2 shop assured me that I would find a work-around on here. Well I've looked, and I can't find any.
Can anyone help please?
The Guys at the phone-shops are total n00bs... They even don't know what a PocketPC is. TomTom 3 isn't working on WM5. Even TomTom 5 need a installer modification to work.
Yeah I know, but this guy completely bullshitted me that he knew all about XDA's! Guess I'll have to fork out again for 5.21
I just recently upgraded my 8525 to the new AT&T Rom update and can't get my Tom Tom One to pair correctly with the 8525. On the Tom Tom it says no services are available.

There is lots of advice here and on http://www.modaco.com/HTC-Hermes-HermesMoDaCocom-f204.html but you ned to be clearer about what you need help with. Are you Blutooth pairing a Tom Tom GPS Receiver with your 8525? Can you get the 8525 to actually pair with the receiver succesfully?
Sorry but you may already know all this - but it's unclear and I see this is your first post. There are plenty who can help if you can provide more information.
Regards
He's trying to pair a TomTom One GPS Navigation unit to the 8525. Likely to access online services like traffic, weather, etc..
As for an answer on the Bluetooth, the only thing I can think of is make sure you can pair other devices, and give the phone a reset. My bluetooth acts wierd sometimes and a reset is all it needs.
What services are you trying to access from the 8525?
I am trying to update traffic info on tom tom via the data connection from the 8525. The 8525 sees the tom tom when looking for devices and tom tom tries to pair with 8525, but it will fails with the following message
The required features could not be found for this phone.
*bump* I have exactly the same problem! (running Black 3.0.1)
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions??
I love the Hermes, but unfortunately going to have to return it to provided in a few days if there's no way of getting a Bluetooth DUN profile working with the TomTom. Damned Microsoft!
Any solution for this would be greatly appreciated! Is there perhaps a replacement stack available which would solve this?
Nick
*bump*
Are there any ROM experts out there who could answer this definitively?
I need to know if there is any possibility of the Bluetooth DUN being added to WM6, or if it's been done, as I need to return the phone to T-mobile in the next few days if there is no chance!!
Much appreciated...
Nick
Bump. Is there no solution for this problem of bluetooth DUN support at all right now? Would appreciate if one of the knowledgeable techies here could answer.
Otherwise the Hermes has to be returned tomorrow, which will suck. lol
TIA, Nick.
same problem here. seemed to work fine until i upgraded to new rom from att. so im sure the problem is within the rom
I just purchased my 8525 and can't get it to pair with my TomTom One. My 8125 worked just fine. Anybody find a work around? Are there any cooked roms that it will work on? I'm happy to upgrade a rom if it makes it work.
TIA

None of the cooked roms have DUN in them. Stupid MS decided that PAN was much cooler so they removed DUN making bunches of devices unusable with the Hermes.
