Can anyone confirm if they have got tomtom 5/5.21
Because everytime i try and start tomtom it opens for a split second and then closes again.
Also if anyone has any ideas?
I've 5.21 running on mine without problems, it's a bit slow to start (25-30sec.), but after that works fine.
it is a cracked version or legit? you can edit your post after 5 mins of posting it so you dont get in trouble for talking about cracked stuff if it is
no worries, it's a legal version.
Hmmm i just dont understand why mine wont start :S its really weird.
I to have this issue, thought id bump it back up to see if anyone else is able to help out.
I've got the 5.21 running without problems.
I have now bought the vers. 6 - running even better.

My problem was the maps, you need the latest maps (not version 6 though) to get it to work, after i did that it works fine
Related to maps and TomTom I also have the following questions:
I already run TomTom 5 + maps on my PocketPC. Any idea if that would work on the Tytn.
If I do get the 5.21 for the Tytn, can I re-use the maps I have for the 5 ?
IOW which version of the maps must I have to have it running on the 5.21?
TIA for any hints
V5.21 is only an update, So everything works the same. It will run on your device and also it uses the same maps.
I have 5.21 installed with no problems just got V6 havent installed yet but sure it will be fine.

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
nya
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?
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.
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,
Hello,
The new TOMTOM 7 is available in cab file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401619
I download it and put in my Universal and my wizard:
Cannot install and load it on my device. Not compatible
Have you found or built a version compatible with our Uni?
Seb...
Ps: official devices compatible here:

This version seems to only work on devices with internal GPS.

Tomtom 7
Ok I have spent a few hours playing around with this. but I have Tomtom 7 and the UK maps working, it did take some pratting around with but it works.
The only down side is that its very memory heavy. and has crashed quite a few times.
I canot post any screen shots or chat about this until Aug as I am out of the country getting married.
please feel free to PM me but remember I will only help with the .Cab and not the maps unless you have got them legit from Tomtom.
remember donot post anything about WAREZ here.
I have been using it for a couple of weeks & it works great. There are lots of different versions around. The one I use is called
TomTom_Navigator_7.450.9028_repack2.cab & I am using it with the
United_Kingdom_and_Repubclic_of_Ireland_720_1803 map.
I tried quite a few different TT 7 cabs until I found this one. It also tried it on one of my Orange SPV M1000's (HTC Himalaya) & it works fine on that.
I've installed (succesfully!) tt7 repack 3 on my universal but sometimes (not always!) the screen make the light off ad I can't switch it on... Here's a patch (or a "repack 4" ) to resolve this problem??? I'm sure make all correctly but...
Thank U very very much!
Hello All,
I installed TTN 7 (repack 1 Italian) in my QTek 9000 with external GPS antenna without any problem and everything worked fine.
(I apologise for my English)
TomTom_Navigator_7.450.9028_repack2.cab version works fine also for me now.
I use it on my Uni and my Wizard with 7.20 maps
Could you please post a new link for the TomTom 7 cab, the one you have does not show any download possibilty. Thanks
Hi all latest version of tom tom home is now working with my xperia with tom tom 7 installed, including mapshare and have downloaded over 3000 corrections to my map Didn't change anything it just started connecting.
Hm, TomTom allows free updates for maps? I'm still using TomTom 6 but have never updated the maps before. How do I go about in doing that?
Weird...mine worked from the get go...
sorry.. you mean i can buy tomtom7 for x1 now or?
It seems it's touchy - my TTH (2.5) has never connected.
Wish I could get it to connect, and will try again tonight, because a decent GPS program is hard to come by.
Wayfinder wants to download maps over GPRS which is simply unacceptable. Downloading 185 MB maps over GPRS @ approx 50c-1Eur per MB!! (maploader doesn't see the phone, even though WM Device Center sees it)
Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do you connect to Tomtom Home from within the Tomtom 7 program? I can't see it in any menus.
dont need to just connect x1 to pc with tomtom home running and it will detect it , you dont have to have tomtom 7 running when you connect.

That is if you have lady luck on your side
I agree with the updated version of Tomtom Home I can now connect, and Home can see the phone and SD card. It correctly identifies it as X1i, but won't allow me to buy a map for the device. I'm running 7.910.9185. It can also see the app, free local map and one voice downloaded directly to the device.
On the Tomtom site it also warns "Please note that maps for Navigator 7 are only compatible with devices that have this software pre-installed. Please ensure that you have Navigator 7 installed on your device before purchasing a map. "
...so I'm not really interested in wasting the money unless anyone can verify a method of adding full UK map to an X1 through Home?
Yes wont allow the purchase of maps but if you have the latest map installed already, in allows you to use map share to update the map and adds just under 4000 corrections to your map.
Arrrrrrgh. Still no connection with Tom Tom Home.
I'm running:
R2A0010 UK Generic
TTH: 2.6.1.1549
TT7: 7.910.9185
For those who have it working - what versions are you running?
7.915 9196 tt7
uk map 825 2159
tth 2.6.1.1549
Trying in this thread too, hoping for help...
I've got the same version of TT7 installed on phone, working OK.
But, I can not access my maps bought from TomTom.
They show in TomTom Home (v.2.6), but not downloadable.
TT Home recognizes my xperia, but says it's invalid application installation.
When I asked on an earlier thread I was told I needed install TT7 on SD card, not phone memory. But my installation does not give me any target options...
Sorry for being a noob, but sure hope someone can guide me thru this, going on holiday to the UK monday, would love to have it up and running with maps by then.
If a step by step can be given pls do so, via PM or here.
Thx in advance
when installing tt7 , win mobile gives the option to install on Device (phone) or storage card (SD). Hope that helps.
The version I have also gives me the option for device or SD card.
Finally got TomTom working.. after having actually legally bought the maps, I had to download and crack a pirate copy to be able to use them.
Go figure.
i can't get mapshare to work, it just says mapshare is not supported either for your device or the map you are using. can anyone help with this? i'm using tt7 7.915 9196 and western and central europe maps v815.2034
Im having problem when im loading new poi´s , i have to restart the program after each downloaded poi...
Does anyone else have that problem ?
