Hi guys,
My Wizard was recently lost / stolen and with the money I received from the insurance, I went and bought a Hermes (T-Mobile Vario II) on eBay.
I unlocked it and SuperCID'd it using pof's excellent tool and then upgraded to the 1.35.255.2 HTC ROM.
There are a couple of things which really irritate me, and if anyone could help me I would be most grateful.
1. When using Media Player with my bluetooth stereo headphones, I used to be able to press the power button on my wizard, and the screen and all the buttons would deactivate (as would normally occur) but the music would carry on playing. This doesn't work on my Hermes. I used the zoA2DP solution on my Wizard, I've had a look to see if it sets any registry keys that would do this but it doesn't seem to. A2DP worked out of the box with my Hermes.
2. There is no battery icon in the taskbar! I have a clock, which if I click on will display a bubble including the battery meter, but I want it on my taskbar all the time. There is a multicoloured one in the system tray, which I can remove using fit4cat tweaker, and I have tried updating skins, but nothing works!
On my Today screen I want Battery in the taskbar (clock is optional).
In all other programs, I want the clock on the taskbar only (no battery).
3. The "U" that shows instead of "3G" which was in the T-Mobile ROM, I can live with it but I'd prefer the 3G. When I tried the solutions here, I got an "E" when I was in a 3G area!!
4. WM5torage - was great on my Wizard, but I can't get it to work at all on my Hermes, when I turn off the advanced network settings then it breaks ActiveSync, but does not get WM5torage working. Any ideas?
Again, I would be really grateful if you could help me with any of these. I've already found and tried the solutions linked to above, so if there may be a common error I am making, or an alternative solution, please let me know!
Thanks

Try SPB Pocket Plus, it puts the battery power across the top of the screen, if you don't feel like paying for it there is a freeware alternative that does the samething but i forgot its name.

WMtorage works, but the storage card needs to be formatted in FAT, not FAT32. If you have your card in FAT32, then you're better off using CardExport II.

Hi,
I've recently purchased an xda 2 from O2 it came with a free bluetooth headset, but I've a few problems and wondered if anybody could answer a couple of questions.
1. The little blue flashed LED, is it meant to flash all the time that bluetooth is being used? It seems to start flashing and then just stop.
2. When I go into my bluetooth settings and turn it back on when it's switched itself off I don't get the LED flashing then I go back into the settings again and it says that it's off. Is this what it's meant to do?
Any good guides/tools about using bluetooth with this device?
Beginning to pull my hair out and I've not much to spare!
Cheers
Marc
Free? from O2? how?
1stly howd u manage 2 get sumit out of O2 for free? i would be worried about that allready!!
what bt Headset did u get? with mine, i get a blue light flashing intermitently when the headset is turned on, and it doesnt change when im making a call.
which bt settings are you talking about? obviously you need to have bonded with the device, which the headsets instructions should cover.
to turn bt on the phone on you click on the bt icon at the botom of the active screen and select the On radio button.
if headset profile is enabled then there should B a small blue headset symbol next to the bt symbol, if its not set, or not turned on then it will be gray. if it is gray then click on it and hopefully it will turn blue to activate the headset profile.
there are sum interesting bt tools around, but the "recomended" setup is the Pocket Bluetooth Tools for the O2 XDA II and the MDA II which is available from here:
http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
I hope that helps.
Smiley
sounds like you are using bluetooth tools and have got the clock symbol live (not greyed out), it times out the internet connection but doesnt seem to tell o2's software that it turned it off so when you go in, it quite often seems to think its on when its actually off !!
Hi, I didn't have the bluetooth tools loaded, but I've downloaded them from the site you suggested and everything seems to work better.
The headset did indeed come free from O2 I was quite surprised too.
I've think I've attached an image of it, not sure what make it is does BlueTrek sound good?
Yeah that sounds about right, their website doesnt actually give any details, helpfull as allways!! :roll:
neway, have u got everything working properly now?
Smiley
Hmm...somebody had the same problem with his Bluetreks G2 and the XDA2.
He did a special pairing mode and it solved the problem.
I think its in the G2s instruction manual.
Had a look at the manual can't see anything special in the way that you pair the G2 to the XDA2.
Do you use this bluetooth toolkit?
It still seems flaky, I tried answering a couple of calls with the headset yesterday and nobody could here me at the other end of the phone. Sometimes I get it where the phone says that I have "no bluetooth available" I have to remove the battery and insert it again. Is this normal?
Regards
Marc
Marc,
I get the same symptoms you describe when I'm using ActiveSync with my XDA2 over bluetooth, but never with my HBH-65 BT headset. I'm not using any additional bluetooth tools or anything like that. Just the standard built-in bluetooth on my original (November 03) ROM.
Sometimes if my bluetooth ActiveSync connection is idle for a while the connection drops and the flashing blue light on the XDA2 goes out. However, if I tap the little blue BT icon at the bottom of the Today screen, the setting shows that BT is still turned on. I have to tap it on, then off then on again to cycle the status and convince the machine that bluetooth is really back on again. :? This sounds like the problem you describe.
However, no problems like this with my BT headset, which works perfectly.
This isn't any help, but at least you know you're not alone!
Does anybody know if a registry entry exists to turn the bt headset profile on and off?
I've got headset working now but it switches off frequently.
Cheers
Marc
I have a BlueTrek G2 for my Imate and it's working with no problems at all ... I tried BT tools but didn't find it useful as I thought it will give me a "Hands free" profile but it doesn't :x
mokl: maybe it's a ROM issue ... mine is 1.72 WWE, what's yours ?
The rom version is 1.60.00WWE
Just to let everybody know, I had some major problems with my bluetooth on my XDA 2. Tried everything, eventually got a replacement from 02 and the new one works fine now, so it must have been a hardware fault.
Can anyone please help, I use a XDA Exec with TomTom 5.1 and it works fine, But is there way like on TomTom 3 where i can have TomTom not running in full screen mode.
I like this way as i can keep a eye on the signal strength of the phone whilst driving, as mine like others and looses signal and needs a soft reset to fix it, But of corse with TomTom running you cant see if the phone is out of service
Thanks
John
Unlikely! TTNav-5 appears to be the version for their stand-alone TomTom-Go devices with a few bodges to get it to run (sometimes) on a PDA.
Although TTNav-5 has a few nice touches over v3, as far as PDA navigation software goes, TomTom seem to have lost their way! :lol:
Admittedly a personal opinion, but I've been using TTNav since the first version.

I agree completely! TT3 was far more flexible IMHO than this new 5.1 version, which seems crippled and unhelpful by comparison. :roll:
I'm wondering about using alternatives. Has anybody who's tried both TT and other nav systems got any comments? People mention CoPilot 6, but as far as I can tell, that runs off an SD card that they supply, which is no use when your SD card slot is used for music storage in the car.

John -
My solution to the same problem was to install PocketPlus and use its button mapping and task switching features to program the pointless videocall button on the keyboard to switch apps. One press while looking at TomTom takes me straight to the screen I saw before opening TomTom (media player? Today screen?), where I can check my signal strength or control my music. Another press takes me back to TT. Worked fine. But once again I'm having to use a bodge to overcome limitations of crap software. :evil:
Thanks for the replies, i am glad i am not the only one that is frustrated with it. I will try the sugestions.
Thanks again. John
Hi there,
Is there someone using TomTom Navigator 6.03 and experiencing the same strange thing I do?
Everytime I start TomTom the sound is off; the sound off icon is on screen. I have to tap Turn on sound in the preferences menu twice in order to have the sound turned on and to have the icon disappeared.
When I exit TomTom and start it again, the sound is turned off again.
Annoying and no idea how to fix that. Deleting the navigator.cfg didn't help.
MapSettings.cfg in the current Active map folder - is it set to read only per chance? - Mike

Hi. I am having exactly the same issue here with TT. I've checked my mapsettings.cfg file and it's not read only...The only thing I can think of is it is because my map is installed on the microdrive, not an SD card
Any help appreciated too!
Merlin
Mapsettings.cfg is not read only and my maps (everything on TomTom) is installed on the Storage Card.
I have exactly the same installation running on my Touch as well, and no problems at all. Seems to be something on my X7500 then.... but what!!???
I am having exactly the same problems, it's been driving me potty! TT is installed on storage card, no idea whats causding it!
Same problem here...
However it started when I updated it from 6.01 back on my old Wizard. That worked properly. I did discover that you don't have to go to Prefs... you can get the sound back on by tapping the joystick to the right. Also, it doesn't happen when it's on AC power, but only on battery.

Not a bad workaround, just wish we could find what was causing this.
Just to clear things out, but who has this problem with official and legal versions of TTN 6.03? - E.g. has it something to do with cracked/patched versions?
Mine's legal...
Although I'm starting to regret messing with TomTom. Their customer service is awful. Unless your device is one the approximately 5 devices they officially support, they'll wash their hands of you if you call for help saying your device is "not compatible." I called for support on my Wizard, which to be exact was a Cingular 8125. That phone is not on their list of compatible devices, but its twin, the T-Mobile MDA, is on the list. I called and said I had an 8125 and they refused to help me. I hung up, called back, and said I had an MDA. They tried to help me, but when they didn't have an instant answer for me they just said, "Sorry, we don't have that problem on ours" and started spewing out useless canned knowledge base articles. For heaven's sake, the MDA and 8125 are the SAME PHONE! Also, don't tell them you have WM6, because WM6 is "not compatible." Basically, if you have to call TomTom support, lie through your teeth. I'm waiting for OnCourse Navigator, due out in October or November, and then I may abandon TomTom.
Just to compile information...
OK Let's see:
1) I got my TT6.03 legal with legal maps and I got the problem.
2) Running my old legal TT6.01 I didn't had the problem.
3) If I do it using Prefs I need to activate twice the sound in order to get the mute removed
4) I got the problem running on baterry, using the oficial car charger and using the wall charger. I got the problem all the time no matter what power source I'm using.
5) The "Move Joysting to Right" workaround works great. Thank you very much. That don't solve the problem but makes my live much easier.
So... that's the point. I'm running TT6.03 (legal) over WM5 ROM in spanish.
Best Regards,
mahjong
So.... resuming: it's TomTom Navigator 6.03 with the combination of the HTC X7500/Athena.
The problem isn't there while running 6.03 on a HP iPAQ hx4700, Qtek 9000 and HTC Touch.
I have 6.030 on WM6 English on my Athena and I don't have this problem...
I don't have this problem either. I'm using version 6.0
LOL !!!!
Ok man !!! Is your connection GPRS/EDGE/UTMS/HSDPA is online ?
Because if there's an active connexion Tomtom start allways with the sound off.
Try to disconnect before launching Tomtom

Then that goes for version 6.03 only. With 6.00 it didn't matter wether the data connection was active or not.
Anyway, I need to stick with 6.03 and live with the mute problem, since 6.03 can work with my voices stored on storage card (instead of MD) and performs a fix in only seconds (instead of 1 - 1,5 minute).
No sound after starting TT6.03
I have the legal version of TT6.03 and I have the problem too. I only have this problem when my phone is connected to the internet using gprs, umts or hsdpa. If their is no connection I do not have this problem. It also happens on other devices for instance the HP iPAQ 6340 and it is a know bug. TomTom know's about it. It will be solved in te next version.

BINGO!!! We got a winner here ladies and gentlemans.
Mine has the connection online all the time due to my push-mail solution (Blackberry Connect). I did some test shutting down Blackbery Connect before starting TT and "the problem" just gone.
Thank you. Anyway since I must have connection online all the time the "Joystick move to right" trick is great for me.

Guys great thread, I am glad to see someone else is struggling with this strange issue. Its really no big deal, its just annoying. Any updates on this issue yet?
And here was me thinking it was my *cough* test *cough* version. Loving the 'fix' taa v much. I might have to write a mortscript that recycles the data connection, rotates the screen and starts TT.
tomtom 6.02-7910 works fine
I also was having problems with tomt 6.032 but the problems does not seem to exist in tomtom 6.02-7910
Above says it all really.
I could live with bluetooth on even when syncing with PC.
My situation:
I am in and out of my car all day. I can't stand to wear earpiece so have bluetooth speaker/mic in car.
When I get out of car I have to turn bluetooth off as I am still in range when I knock on customer's door. I know I should just turn it off as I leave the car and back on when I return, but it's a real pain. I religiously put my phone on charge when in the car because of the poor battery life, so my request would certainly be fantastic for me.
I believe Phonealarm offers this, but from memory it was not very reliable. Also, as I have just installed my first rom from this forum, I want to try and keep things as 'lite' as possible. I don't need a whole software package.
Is this an easy thing to create?
It's quite easy with skschema. It worth a try

Thank you for the info.
I'll give it a try tomorrow
Okay I have looked at skschema, and to be honest I don't know what I am doing.
I don't want to end up having to press anything. I just want plug in USB - bluetooth on, USB unplug - bluetooth off. I can tell you that phonealarm have this facility, but it just does not work [and you need to disable touchflo] so I'm rather glad it doesn't work
If it is really easy is there anyone out there that can do it for me. I will pay them for the cost of skschema. I believe there are 2 versions but basically $11.
Obviously it needs to work properly. Details below may help.

ok, I know this is an old thread, but I have exactly the same probs!
It would be awesome if everytime I charge my phone the bluetooth connection enables and if i stop charging the bt will disable!
Anybody knows what to do without one more tool running in background?
Any possibility doing it with the registry????

BluePower IS very good. I never thought of this and so assigned a softkey on my homepage to switching Bluetooth on/off. What a waste of a softkey. Thanks JasonKruys...
You will need to soft reset after installing it (well, I did). Once I can be sure it works very well, I will also disable the HTC phonepad (to save valuable storage space and to enable my phone to ring quicker when called). The reason for having it in the first place was to enable the bluetooth icon in the taskbar. This icon doesn't work when using the Windows dialer skin......
Hi,
I finally took the plunge and flashed my Orange SPV M700 (HTC Trinity P3600) and upgraded to WM6. Fantastic - wished I'd done it ages ago. I followed the excellent TrinityGuides instructions referenced from XDA-Developers Trinity Wiki. My only hiccup while doing the upgrade was choosing which ROM to use. I didn't realise that the Orange SPV M700 phones are in fact P3600, therefore I had a number of failed attempts inadvertantly flashing with P3600i ROMs until I realised what the problem might be. A few XDA-Developers searches revealed that the FInix_3_7_2_Normal ROM seemed to work well for most P3600's, so that's the one I went for.
I'm now running:
- Hard SPL: Olipro 1.20
- Radio: 1.50.08.11
- ROM: FInix_3_7_2_Normal - actually gives you WM6.1
I flashed two weeks ago and everything's running at 100%. Just the ability to use a phone-pad T9 input method for emails and SMS's was worth the upgrade alone, not to mention loads of other benefits that I'm discovering every day.
Only two niggles, which I wonder if someone can help me with...
Niggle number 1 is quite trivial: I actually liked some of the WM5 notifications sounds - but they're not all present in the WM6 ROM. Can anyone tell me where I could download these from. I note that WM6 allows you to use mp3 files for notification sounds so even getting them in mp3 format would be fine.
Niggle number 2 is a bit more of a hassle: I have a 4gb storage card which I keep permanently installed in the HTC (I now have an 8gb one on order). As well as my pictures and mp3, this storage card also holds all my WM apps. Every few months I hard reset my HTC and reinstall everything - its nice to have a clean device - particularly if I've been experimenting with other apps. Therefore its simply a case of installing all the apps cabs straight off the storage card. No need to get connected to a PC. While running WM5, I used an unlock cab, which I created via the Orange Developers web site, to get rid of the application lock so I could install my apps. However (and here's the niggle) when I run the app unlock cab on my new ROM I get a "not trusted certificate" , or some such, message and the installation aborts. The only resolution I've found is to run SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe on my PC while connected to the HTC. I'd like to remove this need to be tethered to the PC when I hard reset, therefore can anyone please advise how I can achieve the same outcome as running SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe, preferably by running a cab file from the storage card.
Thanks.
Just a final word... for me, I only need one device in my pocket - my HTC Trinity P3600 - with this one device in addition to the mobile phone and camera functionality, my apps give me the following:
- obvious: email, calendar, contacts all wirelessesly sync'd with my work network
- SlingMobile gives me all the UK Freeview TV channels with DVR capability - requires a bit of kit back home which can be cheaply set up by buying off eBay.
- Satnav via TomTom Mobile (plus also Google maps) using the onboard GPS
- Laptop 3G broadband connectivity using PdaNet on which I can simultaneously access the internet via my HTC at the same time as making/receiving calls (this was the main driver for the WM6 upgrade).
- Full screen Internet browsing experience with Opera 9.5 (so much better than IE).
- Dual (or even quad) timezone display, alarms, etc with Spb Time.
I also recommend FastBlueTooth switcher, which allows you to set up one of the programmable buttons to toggle bluetooth on/off - very useful way to quickly and easily put bluetooth on only when going hands free and saving the battery by easily turning it off when not using the hands-free.
