Tomtom 5 crashing after 10 minutes - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

I spend some time by searching the solution for my problem, which is that when I install Tomtom 5 [bakonl] it crashes after a while. I found an update 5.1 but it behaved the same.
Did anyone have the same problem? Can anyone direct me to some place where this was addressed? Thanx in advance.
Ihave the official Orange NL update FW (1.12)

POI Patch
Well, it seems there might be a remedy. Unfortunately, I cannot find a working download link. Does anyone have the one and only "POI Patch TTN5"? I'd appreciate it very much!
Cheers

hey mede-eindhovenaar. Hier vanuit vaartbroek (woensel). Jij?
Ik had zelfde problemen met TT5 op mijn Orange SPV M500. POIs uitgezet was destijds enige oplossing. Op moment gebruik ik TT niet meer dus een directe oplossing had ik niet meer nodig. Hopelijk vind je snel die link naar die POI patch
(the above is just some dutch bla bla, ignore it)

The POI patch is availeble on the FTP

try to delete or replace the file "Poi.dat"
It works for me!

Can you be more specific, please? I was unable to find it...
More on the "crash" topic:
As it was suggested somewhere in this forum, I disabled the POI display. It helped and I kept playing with it. The Bakonl version has also speed-limit cameras POIs. I thought that there might be a problem. But later on I reached the Benelux plus map (speed-limit cameras not included) and the problem is the same. Thus, either you have to disable displaying of POIs or you need to use the patch (I'm still trying to get it somewhere).

Don't know if this was just coincidence but mine was working fine with POI's, then I received a file from Bluetooth and it started crashing. I moved the file from MyDocs to Storage Card and this stopped the crashing. I think it may have something to do with memory available to TomTom because when I have a large file in MyDocs it crashes after 2 minutes or less. If I have a few pics in there it takes 10-20 mins before it crashes. I just store things on my storage card now and that seems to have fixed the problem.

TomTom 5 and POIs not working

@all,
like in the previous versions tomtom5.00 doesnt work with Pois (points of intrests) on. Navigation just seases and tomtom shuts itself off totally.
With POIs off everything works neatly.
Anybody knows why? And why hasnt tomtom fixed the problem by now?
Or is it just me, the most stupid assumeable user?
Well they've released versions 5.100 & 5.200. & it's very likely the number of poi's on which it crashes. Don't use them all, but a few & it should work.
Cheers, M
jupp,
set up only a couple of them and it works like a breeze.
Thanx
You're welcome
I've been running the maximum number of POIs since I installed TT and have never had a crash- this was of course after the 'POI Patch' was applied.
I also run Checkpoint on there- this only slows down the 'demo route'; live navigation has never been affected.
Hi,
can you give us the link to the poi patch cab? I heard before about it, though haven't tried it yet.
Poiplace is a fine piece of work & does its job great. I remenber reading somewhere that having a list of speed-cam's is illegal in Germany, not to scare you just a warning. Course I might be mistaken as well.
Regards, M
I remember uploading to FTP a while ago since I couldn't find the original one anywhere.
Look in this folder, there is a file called 'Patch POI TTN5.zip'.
ftp://xda-developers.com/Uploads/SatNav/Tomtom/
This was working fine in TTN V5.00 and now on 5.21 too.
Patch sounds great too.
Any ideas what it actually does?
Thanx
i also had the same problem. i just went to settings and disabled POIs from appearing and thats it. i drove from northampton to leeds without a problem. you can also try using the patch which was posted by sh500. unzip it and
copy all files to 2577 folder on youur PPC SD card
after installing TT5. then excecute the ttn.cab on
your SD card.
then thats it

On some devices TT would crash with the POIs on. Installing this patch seems to resolve this issue.
In my case, it was only the 'Cash Dispensers' POI that was causing the program to crash. But whatever the POI, this patch should overcome this issue.
There are already a few threads on the forum discussing this further.
Link does not seem to work
Hello everyone,
I am having a terrible time with my XDA IIs, I have installed TomTom 5 and no matter what I try I cannot get any POIs working (not even one). Anyway, I googled this problem and found this forum. I saw the link above in one of the posts but the link does not seem to work. If anyone has a copy of this patch I could really do with it. If anyone whose got it, could you please send it to [Email Removed] or post a working link to it! I would really appreciate it!
Thanks.
The link that i've posted is working...
You've got to (re)login using 'xda' for username and 'xda' for password from the 'File'> 'Login As' menu and type the credentials in there (this is if you are using Internet Explorer)
Or use ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/SatNav/Tomtom/
works very good as link. Not sure what the program does, as it installs TT5.0
M
Sorted!
Thanks sh500, I got it now and it is installed and, so far, appears to be working, at least in demo mode.

gprs automatic disconnection after mail checking

good morning everybody,
quite a newbie here. Please be patient.
I have noticed that my qtek 9000 does not disconnect automatically after a gprs connection. Per example after mail checking . It did it until somedays ago. I did not change anything in the applications installed.
Could somebody explain mewhy this can happen ? Is there a solution?
Many thanks for your kind replies
Tony
I need it, too
I know there are some third parts programs that cheks idle connections.
But i hope there's a registry hack 'cos i don't want a program in background that eats ram and/or CPU.
Is that possible?
:!:
I need this too !
Ok got it . The hack is GB - soft gprs & tweak
http://www.gb-soft.cz/xdaii/product_gprs_tweak_en.htm (for free download)
Settings (qtek 9000) to get immediate disconnection after mail connection are as follows...
Hope that a wise guy will bring things to normality on next rom release...
Cheers
I can't belive that there isn't another way to solve this problem.

Ciao!
install Resco Registry editor, then look in your registry for AlwaysOn string (there is a distinct entry for each connection setting you have created), then change from 1 to 0 or viceversa (if you want to be always connected: on packet data transmission you pay only for traffic, not for the time of connection, and your line is always free)

QuickGPS CAB File?

Hi there,
got a prob with QuickGPS and TomTom.
First TomTom says "no gps device" (or something like that - I use the german one). Tried everything, without success.
Then I tried to update QuickGPS. Download starts, but "crashes" before reaching 100%. Tried a lot, even via ActiveSync etc etc.
So I tried some QuickGPS Cab File from somewhere on the web. Installed it, tried to start it, without success, as it is not signatured digitally.
So deinstallation of this version, and now even the old one is lost.
My question:
1. Can anyone supply me with the official QuickGPS CAB of the latest official ROM (2.32...)
2. Can anyone supply me with the certain reg-info?
Thx in advance! About to face a hard reset - but not willing to...
I would advice you just to redo the last firmware.
You will be getting your Quickgps back.
There might be someone on here with a better idea, but most likelly you will be ending up with hard resetting anyway.
Doing it right now. Somehow this problem seems to be a pretty common one, but noone in all those forums ever placed a working solution. Bad luck, as I have had a lot of tools setup pretty well... But hey, thats windows!
What version of TomTom do you have? If tomtom says no device then you have to check your port(4) and baud(4800) settings and make sure you use the internal gps.
I had the same problem but
Mine is a HTC clone... I had the same problmes .
Quick GPS does not work at all at the clone, since they use another gps
( Hardware). But i got tom tom running using in the configuration the Bluetooth device on com port 3 , with 9600 .
There was a alternative Software for quick GPS, but, i am sorry, i forgot the name. Google may help.
i have a same problem.i have tried many way to download quick gps but i couldnt

HD2 and TomTom 7 - problem installing

Ok I've finally taken the plunge and just received my new HD2 from T-Mobile. Everthing works ok and even to a cynic like myself it is one impressive machine but with one issue. I can't install TomTom 7.
As soon as it tries to auto config it displays the message:
"Your device is not compatible with this version of TomTom NAVIGATOR!"
(Their message - not my typing...)
Any ideas? It worked ok my Touch HD running a 6.5 ROM from Miri and I've noticed others appear to have it working. The HD2 is running OS version 21864.5.0.81, ROM version 1.43.110.2 WWE and radio is 2.04.50.22_2 if that helps.
Any assistance greatly appreciated of course!
Is true!
If you go in tomtom device compatible web page you see that HD2 isn't copatible, I have sent an email ant tomtom said me that you must see this page when change you can download a new version compatible.
P.S: There is a version that work with Hd2 but you must delte 2 dll and in tomtomhome hd2 is not recognize
While it is true that Version 7 isn't supported, it dose still work well with a couple of exceptions.
1. It can be done by transfering the CAB file to the device and then installing it manualy, but not through the ActiveSync installer.
2. The version I had for my Orbit2 KILLED the bluetooth on the HD2. It's a fairly easy thing to rectify, just need to delete the file \Windows\BtSdkCE30.dll and then Reset the HD2, but it caused a few headaches.
3. I've read that some people reccomend the 7.91 version of tom tom, but that version 7.45 works well also.

Actually just found that link as you posted. I've managed to get it installed but now it's asking for my map activation code which at the moment I can't find in my filing system....
Thanks for the help/link anyway!
I have Tomtom 7 working try doing a search for TomTom_Navigator_7.916.9189_VGA.
Tony, had the same problem, it's possible to get the software installed using a cab file but then you can't activate your purchased map files without hooking the device up to TomTom Home.
It's sadly a case of waiting for TomTom to officially support the HD2 at which point an update for TomTom Home should allow us to connect and install.
I tried emailing them again today for an update but they just said keep watching -> http://www.tomtom.com/products/section.php?ID=898&Section=709&Lid=1&Category=2
Im using ttn7.915.9196.vga_black.cab which is working fine for me on mine.
Currently using 7.916-9189 vga-black.cab with ukroi 835-2421
had to rename the 2 bt.dll's by adding old to the end of them using resco file explorer and then used BsB Tweaks to get it to auto rotate..
some dudes report issues with the radio using this method but as I dont use headphones (only bluetooth) I haven't even checked to see if the radio works. Now researching/downloading other sat nav applications and waiting for my 16gb card to come so I can try some others out...rapidly running out of room on the stock 2gb card
@EssexboyRacer.
Are you able to connect to TomTom Home?
If not, how did you activate your map file(s) please?

Copilot 8 thinks I am in Africa

Hi I have an issue with Copilot 8 and havent managed to find a thread in here that mentions the issue I have.
I have the following versions
OS 5.2.21869
Manilla 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.48.405.2 WWE
Radio 2.05.51.05_2
I replaced the original 2GB SD card with an 8GB, and used the 2gb card in my daughters Nintendo DS, blatting everything on it.
Now I fancy trying Copilot, and whilst I can run the app, I cannot download any maps as it thinks I am in Africa (or only have permission to download those maps).
This is the same for Copilot Central and on the device, if i try to download anything else it just says "Error downloading files", for the African one it gives me a second screen asking me to confirm.
Am I missing something here? Or is it because I deleted the "trial" version maps on my SD card?
I have 15 days left on the trial to fix this :-S
Hope someone has had the same issue??

You need to get in touch with CoPilot support for help with this. They're a bit slow I'm afraid, so don't hold your breath.

Agreed. However I bought CP7 early last year (I think) and it cost me nearly £60! I wrote to them recently asking if I could transfer my licence across rather than pay £26 for a new package when CP7 is perfecly adequate and they refused.
Fair do's I suppose, as they have got to make some money somewhere but disappointed nevertheless. The "get in lane" improvements in CP8 are worth it as I use this system in my car. However seeing that I have not yet had the full benefit out of the package I paid for last year I can't justify the extra expense and then have a whole package lying around doing nothing.
Shame.
WB
I think they are getting confused somewhere!
There is absolutely nothing to prevent you cancelling the license on one device then reactivating it on another one. The only thing they won't do, and this maybe where the confusion arose, is to transfer a license between platforms (WM -> Apple/Andoid and vice versa)
If you still have CPL on the original device, you can go into the Licensing screen and select to deactivate it. This needs an internet connection. Once deactivated, install the program on the new device and go through the online activation. If that doesn't work, complain again to ALK. There is no compulsion to upgrade to relicense the program.
Had the same issue with my trial. CoPilot sent me this link and it says just to copy the copilot folder to the memory card.

That's funny. My CoPilot Central 2.0 thinks I'm in Africa, too. When I used the KML-export function of my GPS-Tracks, that I had no use for, the only coordinates the KML-file contained were two hundred miles off the coast of Ghana in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Same here, I have factory fitted satnav in the car but I got co-pilot after the trial ended, as you say if you just use it as a walking aid, you can't go wrong for £26.

Neil,
Thanks for the heads up. To be honest ALK make a great product but their Customer Service is diabolical. Rather than spend hours exchanging increasingly meaningless messages with them in that fixed format template format they are so fond of using which is so irritating and tells you absolutely nothing, I simply ditched all the CP8 folders on my device (bar the rom files which I can't move) and installed my paid for CP7.
Saves a whole load of hassle, from my perspective, and it works just fine.
WB
Right anyone got any idea how to make the poxy Copilot Central software think i am in Europe? That still insists i am in Africa.... lord above, one step forward, two steps back and all that!!

Long shot but if you are trying to access CP Central from a PC, why don't you set-up a proxy server or use some other method to "hide" your IP address which might help solve the problem?
I have never done this for this purpose so it's unusual for me to recommend an action I have not tried myself; however if no one else has a better answer and you can't get CP Support to help then might be worth a go?

Got to be worth a try, so i will give it a go.
My mate has the same issue, so its not just me
Let us know how you get on. If it works then this would be a useful tip for others. If it doesn't then they don't have to waste their time on this.

No joy
I have raised the question with the support team, will update post in a month when they reply!! Although to be fair they came back within 2 hours on the Africa thing on the HD2 with the link to the software.

Don't bother with the Copilot support "contact form". It's totally useless, and they'll probably never reply. Instead send a "tweet" to http://twitter.com/copilotsupport/ or http://twitter.com/copilotlive/. That usually gets an answer within 24 hours.
