Installed Tomtom at my SDcard. Recently evey now and then, tomtom starts up. It happens without me touching any buttons and while the phone is lying at the table. Anyone knows why this is and how to get rid of the problem?
Obviously, it´s quite annoying.... :evil:
I had this problem.
I had a folder on my SD card called 2577, in it was a file called autorun. Deleted it and the TomTom loading stopped.
Thanks! Will try that. Although I have two autorun. One that is called AutoRun.exe and one called autorun.exe-run
Erase both or just one of them?
Don't know ! To be safe do one at a time, seeing if it solves the problem, and save a copy elsewhere - just in case !
BTW - I think the autrun.exe -run is the same but with command line -run, but I'm no whizzo (or even close to one) on this stuff.
My feeling is delete both - but keep a copy !!
ive got the same issue - ill give it a go too... cheers!
Let me know if it works for you guys.
Will give it a try and let you know if it works...
I renamed the .exe file to DANautorun .. that way, you don't delete it and forget about it.. if you need the file again, you can rename it back to the orginal name.
My tom tom hasn't started by itself since.

My second splash screen (Windows Mobile) has disappeared. ATM only a white screen and fortunately I can boot.
I copied welcomehead.96.png to my PC to see if I can edit it (YES) and back to Wizard \windows folder and still same white one...
Any suggestions (I do'not want to flash or something like that because it takes a lot of time to shapen up the programs installed)
BTW, I have AKU 2.3 Mr. Clean 2.24 ROM. I can't edit extended_rom because of Wizard Extended_Rom 2.xx restrictions (no solution yet, at least I couln't find anywhere, Just Buzz was working on it)
:?:
I had this happen to me too, if you are using your own one, just replace the files again. But if you are not sorry you will have to find someone with that file. I copied it in 2 times and it works ok now!
Find what? an original "welcomehead.96.png file" ?
ya, cus i have changed my, but i did not like it so i did not keep a copy of the one it came with!
(cus the 1st file i put there did not a thing but then the 2nd one said to replace the file and i said yes!)
...It isn't dissapeared. Just delete the new one and voilà, there it is: the original.
I myself got a white screen after I installed pocketRSS reader...
Exactly the same program "pRSSreader". After installing it just a white screen. Will give a try to delete.
I have replaced it many times but nothing changed. Deleting might be a solution as yours
I'll post if I manage
Thanx

NOPE, didn't worked for me. I deleted ones, there u go, the original ROM file. but nothing changes.
...only when you uninstall pRSS the whitescreen disappears. It doesn't matter whatever you do.
But IF you have no pRSS anymore then you can regain the original welcomehead.96.png, because it's not gone but hide away...
Easily changed 1st splash with rom update (seems harder) but I'll give up the 2nd one because I like to use pRSSreader. Maybe ask the developer for a bug.
Thanx anyway
I tried deleting the welcomehead file but Resco says it can't be deleted as its in ROM.
I have the same problem, installed pRSSReader, it made my screen disappear. So I uninstalled it but the problem is still there.
Any fixes?
I would try the ones above but I can't seem to delete the png file.
Thanks..
copy welcomehead.96.png from Windows folder to anywhere(can be your PC) and copy it back to Windows folder.
think it will work
I tried that. It doesn't seem to work
I renamed the welcomehead.96.png file and then I deleted the renamed one. It created a new png file which, when I open, I can see is the Windows Mobile screen.
But it doesn't show on startup.
I also tried copying it to my storage card and then copying it back to Windows.
Doesn't work
Any other suggestions, please?
if you navigate to
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin
Change the value of Enabled to 1
Soft Reset
do you get your logo now ....
I know changing the value to 0 should give the the default windows mobile screen
It was already set to 1 so I took a chance and changed it to 0.
Well...its still the same.
This is unbelievable. I also had a go with Total Commander and some of the instructions around this forum. Nothing.
I can't believe the developer of pRSSReader can screw up so bad...I am going to make sure I tell everyone I know to steer clear.
Thanks for your help, though...
try to create another welcomehead.96.png with properties 240x320 24bit (important) with your PC copy it over PPC windows folder. it should work.
i have done like this way and i change whatever i want but pRSS reader get things conplicated if u want your welcome screen do not use that program as well.
Should the image be 320x320 or 240x320? I know the resolution of the device is 240x320 but many people who have posted here on how to change the boot images say it should be 320x320.
I will do the above and let you know how it goes.
I can easily change my 2nd splash before pRSSreader and now and will after (uninstalled that RSS program)
I posted this thread becuse I wanted to learn if that program created the bug or not and if it's possible to overcome that problem without uninstalling. Asked the buddy who wrote pRSSreader and absolutely he was not aware of the issue. maybe will solve it eith the next release who knows ??
all my images are 240x320 24bit .png and they work perfect.
let me know how it goes as u told
Well, I edited the original 320x320 image to 240x320 and then copied it to my Windows folder. It still doesn't work! It's so strange
I can't imagine how its not working because it seems to be for everyone else.
I can confirm that the problem took place after I installed pRSSReader as I didn't install any other program before that for at least 3 days. It's a very nice program (and free, which makes it nicer) but not worth the trouble if it messes up my system.
Well, I guess I'll learn to live with it...till I decide to do a hard reset and install all my stuff again (which is just scary as I have a lot of stuff and it'll take up tons of time).
When I go to pictures and images it shows no images just gridlines.
I know you need to delete/rename a file in the windows folder, but wich one is it? (saw the answer on the forum before, don;t know where it is)
Tried search no luck.
some one?
Have you installed a phone skin (Eten dialler etc.)?
If so, this is what's causing your problem.
I just renamed the Mfc80u.dll file in the Windows directory to something else, and the problem was resolved.
@jagroom Thanks !!!!!! Man did you make my day.
that had happened to my phone also. it would just like freeze when i would try to see my pics. so i just hard reseted it. so i can get a fresh running phone

this is happening to mine as well...how do i go about renaming that file. its greyed out.
thanks in advance. looking forward to a quick reply, i really miss this feature
i tried renaming it with total commander. but i cant even get it away from "read only" so that i can rename it. any ideas?
Do all dialer skins create this glitch? I am not in the business of renaming files I'm not familiar with. I wouldn't want to mess something up.
Hi folks,
Just got my Ameo, and am thrilled with it, just getting mildly frustrated with TT6. I copied all the files over to the MicroDrive and ran the cabs, installed to Device (also tried Microdrive) and ran TT. However, although the program seems to be working great, it won't see any voices installed. Any ideas? The Voices directory is in the same place as all the other TomTom files i.e. the root directory of the Microdrive. Thanks!
Fin
I found this problem initially - I think I ended up having to reinstall the cab with the voices in to get it working. Mine are now in \MicroDrive2\Voices
Either that, or a complete uninstall/reinstall did the trick.
N.B, I don't have two microdrives, WM5 got a bit confused and I think WM5torage didn't unload itself properly or something like that, and renamed the drive as 2. I've seen it before with SD Cards.
Thanks - on your advice managed to dig out my old copy of TT 4.4 as I knew it had separate cab files for voices. Installed the right one and Jane was happily talking to me again Thanks for the input! Shame it won't pick up all my other voices tho - I don't have a voices cab for TT6.
Fin
Ahh, I use the Auzzie Guy, just wish he used 'Mate' and 'Golar' and 'Barbie' and the like. I think the first "build" I used wasn't complete , but a second "downloaded build" did . Its v6.010 that I'm currently running.
had the same problem...
i found i had the same problem, this is what i did;
1- there is a voices directory on your phones memory, program files, navigator, voices, try copyin them from your microdrive to your phone memory
or
2- when you go to the voices section in the tomtom application, when it asks to 'only show english voices' select no.
my john cleese and yoda voices now appear, hope this helps.
TT
There are two type of installations.
1. Tou have the SD card installation version and
2. You have the PC installation version.
From TT 6 and upwards the PC installation version is disapearing. This version needed to see the voice files properly installaed. It used the registry to find the files. For this version you need to install the voice cabs form the source disks.
The SD card version looks at your storage card and searches for the voices directory. When this directory is there and you cannot see te voice files, delete the collected.ini file. When you start up TT again it will search for voice files.
Still there is a possibility you cannot see them. I had this probem because I have an miniSD card in my devices. I noticed that TT had made several directories on the card including the voices directory with the file collected.ini. Throwing away the TT directories on my miniSD card solved my problem.

My microdrive has also ended up as MicroDrive2, stopping all my programs I installed on the Microdrive working.
I have never used WM5Storage.
Its a tad annoying as I guess all I can do is reinstall all my programs again.

I don't think you need to reinstall your programs. Try doing a soft reset. I have encountered the Microdrive2 thing before (but not because of WM5Storage), and a soft reset restored everything back to normal.
Looks like something created a folder called MicroDrive on my main storage (its got mail inbox folder in it), and hence the real MicroDrive got renamed to MicroDrive2.
I wonder if real MicroDrive stopped working for a little while and hence device automatically created a new MicroDrive folder on main storage.
Soft resets did not fix it, however renaming the MicroDrive folder to something else, on main storage, and then a soft reset, and real MicroDrive got renamed back to normal.
Will post if it happens again, but at least have found a simple way to fix it if it happens again.
I believe you have enabled the Messaging plugin in your Today screen? That is the most likely culprit, based on my past experiences.
That makes sense, I disabled message plugin to take some screen shots, and then re-enabled it.
Reading on TomTom I remember running across an article that recommended deleting some INI file for TomTom which would cause TomTom to rescan for voices. This was a common problem. I think it's on the TomTom support site. I can't really remember where I read it though.
I had this problem.
Ensure TT is closed
Move the VOICES folder and ZIP (if you have the 7 digit postal code) from the route of the SD card to \program files\navigator and restart.
Problem solved.
---
If you want to keep the files on the SD card (which is slower) then delete the collected.ini file at \program files\navigator\voices , and also the voices folder from there, and it will re-search for them, hopefully finding them on the SD card
Is there a hawaii map for tomtom6???
I got one for 5, but can't get it to work on the 6...
also, there is no hawaii map for download off the site when you can download your first map.
Tomtom and voice
Hi
To solve this problem follow this steps
explore the device's staorage area where you copied the Tomtom (whether Microdrive or Mini Sdcard)
Inside there you will see the Tomtom folder and the map folders.
open the Tomtom folder and cut the Voice folder and Paste on to the same drive's Root.
Eg: Device/microdrive or Device/storagecard
Do the same for the Zip folder which is also inside the tomtom folder.
Basically Tomtom only looking for the voice and zip files from root of the Storage card, Microdrive and my documents folder of the Device.
You have to choose where to put it.
Good luck guys
Could any kind person post me or email me a copy of BTtrayCE for TP2 as I accidentaly deleted mine and now I can't use Bluetooth.
Info of the file path would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
File attached
Hi clark97
That's wierd because normally if you delete a file in the ROM you just soft reset and it appears back.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
Cheers , read in another post its because I installed tom tom 7.450 which overwrote it, for some reason a soft reset isn't enough and you need to either recopy or hard reset.
Thanks for reply
Clark
did you get your bluetooth working again? i have the same problem, Tomtom has killed it! Hard reset seems to be the only way to get it back on....
BTTrayCE.exe you will find this file in the \windows\ folder and a link in
autostart(i have delete it, i dont need everytime bluetooth on,
i have a link in the programm folder),
B2T.
when TT overwrite it, normally you can delete it(with TC or Resco)
after a Softreset you have the original BTTrayCE.exe back...

I had the same problem myself but found the answer on this forum:
TOMTOM places a new BT dlls under the windows folder that I had to remove:
\Windows\BtSdkCE30.dll
\Windows\BtCoreIf.dll
You can either ename them or remove them and then soft restart your Touch Pro 2 and everything will go back to normal.

I personally renamed them, being slightly nervous about deleting files in the Windows folder: still, it worked for me and evidently this fellow on the HTCForums website

Thx a lot !
Lost my BTTrayCe.exe (in fact, not that lost, rather the phone told me : "BTTrayCe.exe is not a valid WM application") after installing TT7.
After renaming the file all came back to normal.
So once again : thank you !
Thank you, that solved my father's problem
Problem solved.
Hi,
I had the same problem after installing TT7.
After renaming the two .dll files all was fixed after a soft reset.
Thanks you guys for your great advise and work.
With regards,
San
thanks alots

I know that HTC and carriers put stuff in startup that may have no benefit to the normal user. I have removed the following, and wondering if I am missing anything, since all seems to be working fine.
Instant Forward
PKG
POUTLOOK
SyncManager
What are each of these "supposed" to do?
Thanks
Edit: just flashed new TMO US ROM 2.13. two new processes are running:
siHome.exe
siwatcher.exe
they have something to do with the new Tmo app "MyAccount" which gives you direct access to your online account info; minutes used, etc. I killed both with no problems. MyAccount will not load, but this is ok for me. I can't find how the processes are initially loaded, and have to kill them each time I restart.
Anybody know where these are loaded; registry?
would like to know too...
I too would like to know what is safe to kill off
i was also wondering about this so what i did was create a folder in the windows directory called "startupbackup"
\\windows\startupbackup\
and moved everything from the \\windows\startup folder into the folder i created. everything is working as normal and so far i havent had any problems or missing anything when i bootup. the only file i left in the original startup folder was HTCStartUp because i think maybe its what starts up HTC Sence or something? either way its safe to clear everything from the folder and not worry about your phone not starting up. i just did made the backup for those "just incase" times...

Nope! Don't need that one either. I read somewhere that HTCStartup runs some file hat dosen't exist. May have been there for carrier to start some process?? I took it out a long time ago, and no problems.
I did however find that bluetooth will not work if I took out BTTrayCE.lnk which runs \windows\BTTray.exe
