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.

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.

tom tom 5.12 on mda vario
Hi
I have tomtom 5.12 on my sd card with all the files,it is for pocketpc and when I insert the card into my t-mobile mda vario I get an autorun which I accept, it then shows the tomtom 5 screen and a few seconds later it disappears and goes back to the today screen, it has done nothing, nothing has installed
any ideas please help

TyTn freezing...

I have serious problems with my TyTn freezing all the time. Especially in TomTom it freezes every 2 or 3 screenclicks. Going back to the today screen (and then back to TomTom) solves the problem, but then a few clicks later the same problem.
Also in other applications the same problem, but not as often as in TomTom.
I hard resetted my device, but no solution.
Anyone the same problems (or perhaps a solution)???

I've noticed exactly the same in TomTom !
M.

same here

same here

It sounds like a low memory or storage card problem. I have had the occasional freeze in TomTom, but this is quickly solved by pressing the Windows button twice to open and close the start menu.
I have noticed that memory seems to always be pretty low on my Hermes, regardless of what I'm doing.
As for a possible storage card problem, sometimes when accessing the storage card for the first time since a soft reset, you'll see a noticeable delay as it reads icon images from executable files. This mostly seems to be a problem with older software though.

i got the same trouble but i found i got more freezing on TT6 than the older version.
let me know if you have same guys, maybe because the map size is very big (around 1go)
bye

offhand I'd say there's a problem with TomTom...

tomtom 6 freezing+web page disappears
i have the same problem,tend to delay rushing next tap of stylus,seems to solve it, it seems it cant handle quick tapping in tomtom 6.looks like a memory problem on mda vario II.olso noticed when browsing my web pages .It defaults back to today screen,for no apparent reason.
the mda vario II is a great machine,just a few bugs,to solve.
had a mda pro before but this is a far better machine

Yup I have this problem on 5.21 and not tapping too quickly solves it.
Interestingly I needed an activation code from TOMTOM (I have legit TomTom software but due to a change of PDA hardware I have used the 2 device activations TOMTOM seem to give you).
And this is what they told me ".....Your PocketPC type is not compatible with our TomTom NAVIGATOR 5. We cannot, unfortunately, guarantee that your PDA type will work free of problems in combination with our latest software. Therefore we will not be providing you with an activation code simply because your model of PDA the ORANGE SPV 3100, is NOT at the moment COMPATABILE with our NAVIGATOR 5 product."
Thanks TOMTOM :x

anybody found the solution? i have the same problem.

This has solved the problem I had on my Hermes with it locking up on the menu screens and I have seen a significant speed increase.

Found this under news.

I have searched before ask, i don't find anything ((( with a little map works perfectly, but this isn't a solution ((
Can you help me to find the solution?
Thanks.

I have the same problem with Cingular 8525, i flash to Dopod Rom and now works fine, i don't know if this is why, but you guys can try!

I asked the same question. I have tomtom NAVIGATOR 6 and have the same problem. I got these answers and am debating whether to flash to unlock and upgrade the AKU to 3.3. It's a big step into bandit country for me:

I have had long debates with tomtom over its 'support'. The people I dealt with did not make me feel like a valued customer.

Tomtom V5.21 ok with WM6?

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.

Delay with TomTom6

I'm using my Prophet with bluetooth Holox BT-441 unit and TomTom6. All is good, but there's a slight delay in showing my exact location. I've noticed that on roundabouts - I need to remeber which exit to take before I get onto roundabout. When I'm getting closer to the exit the unit still shows as if I was still approaching the roundabout - maybe it's having difficulties turning the screen round. Or maybe there's a delay in communicating with the gps unit...? Or maybe my Prophet is short on memory? I've got WisBar running together with few other applications.
All I know I didn't have these problems with my old Dell Axim X5 pda and TomTom5 with wired gps unit.
Has anyone got any ideas? Is this normal?
Thanks in advance.

same problem i have with navigon the latest. wm5 ant tomtom6 no problemo!!!

I've read somewhere that's a problem from the gps unit. On mine i get some delay but not as much as you said(using tomtom 6 and a zapaa bluethooth).
What is really annoying is the jumpy tomtom which isn't very "flowlike". Igo on the other way runs smoothly but the delay is still there

Thanks guys, I think I'll invest in dedicated TomTom unit...

In my s200 the problem had to do with the SD, I bought a faster new one and nowadays TT6 works properly.

TomTom Unusable on WM6 ?

Hi there I recently upgraded my blue angel to WM6, And ever since TomTom Navigator 6 has been running so slow its unusable. Every time I press anything I have to wait between 40-60 secs before it executes the press. Everything else apart from TOMTOM runs fine and zippy. Is there a patch or tweak to give me the speed back.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.

I have tried both Tomtom 5 and Tomtom 6 on thisd WM6 ROM and have no problems at all. It runs very fast. The problem is with your machine.

Just one tip: TomTom is really ****ty app and sometimes have such odd delays because of searching for GPS. Turn GPS function off (offline mode or whatever is the name) or connect the GPS before starting TT. It helps. This is the only aplication I know that has this king of problem.

On WM5, the solution to TomTom slow down was to make sure the phone radio was turned on before launching TomTom. For some reason Tomtom freezes up if you start it when the phone radio is off.

thank you Fredrick_Fredrickson. Worked a treat . Thank you everyone else that took the time to read and reply.

Have exactly the same problem, but my phone is always turned one. Maybe someone got some more ideas?

U pleople are legends
Thanks for all the help in this forum

Very late arrival to this thread, but just wanted to say a big thanks to Fredrick_Fredrickson for that advice, which works great - had the slow/unusable Tomtom bug across different versions of TT Navigator and on different roms - just turned the phone radio on and it suddenly works perfectly. So glad I found this thread!

I had similar issues with tomtom after upgrading to wm6.1, make sure your beam is turned off which should help, as it uses one od the avaliable com ports, My problem resolved by moving on to a different version of TomTom as the one i had was just so glitchy when BA was running on battery power,
