TomTom 6 Locking Up

ive done a quick search but couldnt find a definate answer, but has anyone managed to find out what is causing tomtom to lock up on the tytn?
If so, does anyone have a fix for it? Its getting rather annoying now!

I feel your pain....
There's nothing that pisses me off more than when a pirated piece of software doesn't work right.
You may want to see if this problem is fixed when the software is officially released. My guess is that you are using an early beta version (but still pirated) which will have problems.
You could always call TomTom support and get help that way. I'm sure they'd be glad to help you.

Press a hardware button (I use the "hang up" phone button). It will throw in some other app (in my cas the phone app) but you can switch back to TomTom and things should be still working.
You might look for an update to TomTom6 and/or ask TomTom support (that is, if you have a copy that is legit )

TT6 is running just fine on my Tytn, no lockups during the first week in operation, using it daily.

I had this loads on mine. To get round it hold down the power button until you get the message about turning off the device. Say no and it will unlock.
What's weird is that after doing this on mine it hasn't locked up since.

I had this on mine. It was because I was displaying all of my POI's. I turned them all off except for speed camera's and I've had no lockup's since. It also runs smooth as ailk now whereas before it was very jerly during 3D navigation.

Tom Tom 6 - What BT GPS are you using?
Can anyone recommend a good BT GPS for use with TT?

I had the same trouble..
I was using the massive Western Europe map (540mb+) and switched to the UK map (100mb) and this seemed to fix the problem.
I thought I was having trouble with my memory card (Sandisk 2gb) but all seems ok now.

Was there really any need for that? :roll: :roll:

how to increase mic volume? please help

hi everyone.
i've search around the forum, but havent found the solution yet.
i'll try to explain my problem clearly now. when i make a call, the other person cannot hear my voice, or it's way to soft to be heard.i can hear the caller clearly though. The signal is okay, so thats not the problem. To figure out whether the problem is due to the hardware(microphone) or the software, i plugged in the headset, and the other party can hear it clearly. so i thought the hardware might be the culprit here.
i did a second test, i try to record my voice using the note application, and my voice was recorded excellently. so, right now i think the real problem has something to do with the software, NOT the hardware.
as i said, i've search the forum, and here some of the solution that i tried but didnt work.
1. HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME = CC
and HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME = CC
2. hard reset
3. try various rom
4. hkcu\controlpanel'soundcategories\incall\initvol = 0 or 6 (both didnt work)
5. set the call volume highest (still sound very weak)
FYI, i didnt use bluetooth stack or bluetooth headset. please, does anyone have solution for this. i cannot afford to use my headset all the time.
any help would be much appreciated

so, no one willing to help? hmm..this forum is not as helpful as it was before year ago when i first joined it. thank you anyway

You've GOT to be kidding. No responses in 6 whole hours?!? I can't believe the total lack of help around here. Just like every other forum, you need to wait at least 24 hours before you bump your post.

as u can see, by the next 24 hours, this thread will go into archive, and DEAD. the same thing happen to my previous 'asking-for-help' thread. maybe some of the guys think this is just a stupid thread create by a lazy-to-search noobie. whatever. or maybe magician people is more helpful than wizard's.hmm we'll see how it goes

I am having to same problem and would like to resolve it.

Me three.
I have a BT Headset that isn't stereo and does not support A2DP - and it never had this problem. Audiogain does NOT work on devices not manufactured by HTC.

I have also experienced this problem, its hard to tell but i think the problem started after installing voice command, ihave since had the phone restored to default rom and it was fine during this period, i now have new rom with vioce command built in and problem has come back..try uninstalling VC if you can or use a rom without it on.

WM6 Password issue

Hi All
I have searched on the forums for a bit of advice on this issue, and it seems to be a WM6 problem (some comments on other xda-dev device-specific forums but none i could find on the shift).
Every so often, my shift decides not to recognise my password, and therefore i need a hard reset. Not good after i spent all the time liberating it! This has happened twice now.
On xda-dev forums for other devices, they suggest you hold the 'on-off button' for 10 seconds after setting the p/w the first time, which will work around the problem. Unfortunately, the shift doesn't have such a button for the snapvue bit.
This seems to be a WM6 issue, which is made worse for the shift given the above issues (losing liberation, no on-off workaround).
Does anyone encounter this on their shift as well? I am surprised not to see it on the forum, so i hope i didn't miss anything. By the way, the solution 'don't use password' is no good for me, since to sync with my work server i must use one - and it comes on every 15 mins maximum without use!
I am intrigued also because i have a new HTC touch dual, and this p/w problem does not happen at all?
Odd. Any thoughts? Thanks all,
Nick

Anyone there
Hi all
sorry to bump this up, but I am just wondering whether the lack of replies since I posted this the night before I went on a job for a week is because of:
a) i am the only one who experiences this and thus noone knows how to fix it
b) anyone who does know has already posted to another thread i cant find?
Sorry to bug, just wondering.
Cheers, Nick

Never had this issue in any wm6 device.

Same here..
Just an odd thought, are you using a long password? WinMo really only likes a 4 digit numerical PIN for password as it is a system originally designed for PDA's and enhanced for mobile phone use. Hence unlock via keypad.

Thanks
Hi guys
thanks for that, no i am using a 4 digit password.
Interesting, it seems to have stopped since i wrote the first post, have taken it away on 2 major work trips and it's all good. However, i have not liberated it again yet. I think i am going to re-liberate it and see whether the issue happens again.
There are definitely postings on some of the other forums here on xda-dev, so it is a known issue, but maybe i am just unlucky....

GPS lag ?

Hello all,
I have noticed a small GPS lag on the Iolite (using Igo8 or Tomtom7). basically, the position shown on the phone is 50m behind the actual position when driving at normal speed.
Did you notice the same thing ?
Cheers,
koa

It´s normal, not a iolite-problem, on other devices too (I has an HTC Artemis with the same effect). In other forums like "gpspassion" the problem is knowen and fixed. Must use google, U will find some solutions.

Do you have a link? I searched gpspassion but could only find a thread about reading about this problem on xda-dev. Too much recursivity for me.

I was searched for you in google: http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showthread.php?t=25428

Also try here:

Oh thanks, I thought there was a specific fix, but I will try these tips and see.

Is this problem solved? I wanna by Iolite, and don't want to have any problems with GPS.
BTW, is there any comparison between Iolite's gpsone module and sirfstar 3?

I'm also curious if these tips solved the problems.
My experience is that if I take a turn from the highway, my TomTom lost me for quit some time. It shows a map where I go halfway straight on and after some time it shows a "diagonal road". Looks like a drunk seaman.
After closing TT and restarting it's allright.
I think it's also time for a good firmware upgrade anyhow.

get gps working in standby

ok so about 6 months ago i find a website, not here, it was just a small website and some guy had a fix for the standby issue for touch pro2 I did not have it then so i let it go but now i can't find it. I was hoping someone knows what im talking about. Thanks

Hello,
I think the site you are looking for is this one
http://www.madhacker.org/HTCTouchPro2.htm
Hope this helps

that is it. Thanks.
I should note that i tried this app and it does not work for tomtom but i think it works for google maps. try for your self and report back.

Thanks I will try it also with some other applications.

It works brilliantly with memory map, but not with copilot.
