TomTom 6 slowness on an m3100 - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi guy's , have got an spv m3100, running a copy of tomtom6 on this, works ok, apart from one thing, the sound is ok, tells me to turn at the correct moment though the visual is a couple of seconds behind, tried the software on another pda, worked fine, but on the spv , its driving me literally nuts; any suggestions please!, I do apologise if this may have been already posted.

I had similar problems on Magician. There are similar problem reports for other devices (MDA PRO, Qtek 9090, Qtek S200) but no explanation or solution yet.
I have reverted to TomTom5.

Did Tomtom 5 work more efficiently?

I use TTN 6 on my TyTN with both the HTC and Cingular ROMs. It is amazingly fast on all 4 ROMs. To put this in perspective I cam to TTN from iguidance v3 and night is drastic enough to describe the difference in speed. TTN launches instantly and performs without hiccups while multitasking the TyTN. Iguidance took between 10 s and 3 min. to launch, and when/if it did the program was quite sluggish. I said all that to say that there is probably some software conflict or something causing your TTN problems, because I simply don't have any problems with TTN.

I have TT6 running nicely on my Tytn. There is a slight lag with a sudden change of direction, but that was the same on TT5. Overall, v6 runs better, the startup time is a couple of seconds instead of the best part of one minute!

On my i-mate Jam definitely yes. The startup time is more or less the same but during navigation the map presentation is quite fluid while TT6 is really jerky.

TomTom 6 on SPV M3100
Ive been using TT6 for about 3 weeks now on my M3100 and i dont have the problem with the directions being slow but i have found that maybe 1 in 3 times i start the software it hangs and i have to hard reset the device. ive reinstalled the software several times and also replaced the device and still get the same problem?

The only occasion i've noted is that after TT6 start on my SPV M3100 I have to wait ~20-30 seconds before I can start to push a buttons on TT6 interface (navigate or settings). If you do it straight ahead after you see the first navigation screen, TT6 hangs and the only way out is to do a reset.
Just be patient. Wait ~20-25 seconds after the main screen appears and there will be no problems. It happens to me only when the big map file is loaded (whole Wester Europe, for example). If i have a smaller map loaded (Franc only for example) i do not have this timeout problem at all.

Patience really is a virtue! Thanks for your help.....

Don't bother with a reset if the TOMTOM 6 hangs, just hit the RED call end button then just tap the icon in the bottom right of the screen to bring TT6 back up. I have just allocated a button for running TT6 and if I need to re start it I just hit the button again, works a treat.....
I have had a problem that on a long jurney (80 miles or so) TT6 will hang after around 20 miles or so, if I then hit the RED end call button( I can actually hear the voice directions again at this point!!) and then just hit the tt6 icon (or in my case now just press the allocated button) all is well and it won't lock up again...
Further to this, although I have yet to prove this totally, if I run up TT6 then hit red call end button, then re run the software again it doesn't then lock up over the same journey as before.. spooky or what !!

M3100 running sloww

I've done a hard reset and stopped all the Orange software from loading. However I swear my phone is just way too slow. There's normally at least a second wait after you click on anything before it does something, tomtom is taking ~45 seconds to launch being the worst.
I know WM5 is slower than WM3 but is this really right?

Tomtom freezing problem fix

For thoughs who have had problems with tomtom freezing up a few times at the beginning.
i was messing about with tomtom 6 and always had that dreaded freeze at the beginning. I usually keep my bluetooth off (as tomtom usually activates it)and on this occasion i decided to keep it on before activating the tomtom program and didnt even see any freezes. I hope that helps some people. I only thought of this cause as noticed during the freezes the bluetooth flashey light didnt come on and only come on after program was running fine.
If someone has worked it out before me sorry for repeating it but didnt see it when i was searching the forums.

I've been fixing this by pressing ok button when it freezes up and switch back to TT via taskmanager to continue working
I've always 'fixed' this by turning the power off and back on again, that sorts it 95% of the time. I do the same with the bluetooth though, never have it on, so woudl try that, except the lock-ups have gone on WM6.
yeah i know about the green or red dial button. but i noticed i dont need to do that if the program starts up fine and works most of the time.
This problem is present in new Rom with aku 3.3.1?
And in wm 6?

S200 Hanging every now and then

I have Qtek S200 for 3-4 months.
First I had wm5 2.20.7.34. The phone used to hang sometimes. Usualy if the wifi was on and I suspend it it will hand when I wake it up. The screen stays lit and no button/touchscreen works. The power button also wont work so I had to do SR.
I thought upgrading to wm6 will fix the problem and I tried pda mobiz 20.b3 and b4.
The phone still will hang sometimes. Finlay I installed Prophet Touch v6. Its great rom but it also hangs and sometimes its 2 times in a day..
There is no way to predict when it will happen but usualy its more often when I use Internet gprs or wifi. Most often when I use the wifi( I guess
I have upgraded to the latest Radio ROM but I cant see any diference.
So my question is, How often u guys get hangs on your prophets?
Is this normal?
Is there a way to make it work with no hangs at all or this is the way it is?
Im not using overclocking and the phone usually hangs when its left alone not while I use it.
In wm5 it usually used to hang right after I wake it from suspend while in wm6 I just cant wake it, it stays dark.
Well, when I had the original i-mate ROM I almost never needed to do an SR, unless I was really messing with it.
Then I tried PDAmobiz b4 and I got the phenomenon you describe:
Some times I would turn on the device and notice the clock was an hour or two behind and the device would not respond. Basically it hanged quietly and I didn't even know.
After suffering this for a week I changed the ROM to my current PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 Touch and it seems fine so far (better then the original).
Perhaps a different ROM, maybe a WM 5 not 6 will work for you.
Also you should see what kind of programs are running in background on your device. Maybe one of them is the problem.
Actually I had the problem u described with the original wm5 ROM not with the wm6 roms.
The thing is that the original rom had many other problems and for this reason I dont want to go back to it.
For example I could connect with gprs without problems but after disconnecting I was unable to connect again. The device was saying "The answering modem has disconnected" or one of 2-3 other messages like that I was in a phone session and so on. The only solution was to restart the phone app...
The phone dialer was terribly slow. When pressing the dialpad buttons it was taking about a second for the phone to respond
Also I noticed that the same problem u described when the device freezes just after wakeup will generally happen if the wifi was left on.
If I switched it off I had almost no freezes.. but u know Ive got this phone to use its network capabilities and it looks like the network part was most buggy
All this is about the original wm5 qtek rom.
With wm6 I only have this case when the phone dont want to wake up. It just stays dark when I press the power button.
It will also freeze somethimes when I work but not very often..
Currently I use Prophet Touch v6 by gullum
I few months ago I have read that windows has some delay bringing up the sd card online after suspend and that this may cause problems if some program tries to read the Storage card before its online. For that reason there was suggestion to install all system and most used programs in the internal storage.
Now I have noticed that SPB Insight was installed on the storage card and I use its today plugin so I reinstalled it to the internal storage to see if this will help.
I have the same problem
Please help me to find out why my S200 hanging and hanging and hanging
i have got same problem in my prophet...my model is orange m600............is there anybody to help....

Rebooting issues

I have a trinity and until Friday loved it. Suddenly it has started to automatically reboot itself every 2 minutes or so.
I have loaded NO new software or changed any settings for months. But reviewing the drop menu I see 2 SPB software icons have now gone blank. SPB Traveller and SPBWallet. I assume it is a software problem even though have worked fine for 8 months.
I have deleted the software but still have problem. I also still have the two blank icons on menu.
Tried a Hard Reset but cannot reset. Tried a soft reset but will not action the reset button.
Absolutely frustrated as it just loops and even the old Hard Reset is not working. Anyone had similar or heard of a way to fix?
Den
Im having a similar problem with my spv m700 most of the time phone works fine then just reboots for no apparent reason (phone does it even when sat in car holder so cant accidently press a button). sometimes just does it the once other times it reboots 5 or 6 times and others it reboots a couple of times then crashes at the orange screen and has to be reset. mainly seems to do it while running tomtom but that could just be because it runs that most of the time anyway hasnt done it while making a call yet.
phone is running
radio 1.56.70.11
rom ver 6.1.21054
wm6.1 ceos 5.2.21054 classic edition by tomme45i (have tried other os versions but problem remains)
any help ideas would be much appreciated
Do you use bluetoth head set?
Is the software (spb) intaled on main memory or storage card?
no i dont use bluetooth and the software is installed in main memory
left tomtom off today and phone still reboots? so dont think its a tomtom problem also doesnt matter if the phone is pluged in or not still the same

Igo8 exit causes phone to freeze

This has just happened recently, and was never an issue, but for some reason, every time now that I exit Igo on my Touch Pro 2, the top info of the phone (time, signal strength, battery level) is replaced by part of the igo login/logoff screen...If I try and do anything that requires 2-3 steps, phone freezes to the point of not even being able to shut it off. I have soft resetted, hard resetted, cleared all info. from the "saved" folder, and still the same issue...

Hi there, have you found a solution to this? I was using igo8 without problems for almost a year and now when press exit, the phone freezes.

do you use ark switch task manager ? i found out that if you exit ark switch first and then trun on your igo8 you won't have any issue on exiting igo8. i had the same problem with igo primo and exiting ark switch before running igo primo somehow fixed it.
you can give it a try.
I have a custom rom on my tilt2 - Illuminati and as a matter of fact it comes with ark switch cooked in. However, i like MMTaskManager more so I removed its autostart feature. I felt that something has to do with using a custom ROM coz before when i was on stock rom Primo was running like a clock. Btw, I miswrote above. My iGo 8 installation worked and works without any problem. It is iGo Primo that I cannot exit properly.
Actually I sometimes have the same problem with iGO8 and so does my wife. I have a Touch Diamond 2 and she has a Touch Pro 2. Neither of us have ark switch...
