Wasnt there a PPC2003 problem with Tom Tom? I seem to remember reading somewhere that there was a general incompatibilty with the program and the OS.
Have you checked the Tom Tom site for a patch?
go to settings/connections and make sure 'Recieve all incoming beams' is unticked.
it normally steals the com port.
good luck
skipjack, thankyou, thank you, thank you,
saved my life
words cant describe how gratefull i am m8
cheers

That's getting to be an FAQ for XDA and GPS
i tried every single device using every sinlge setting possible that it would let me, ive turned off the recieving beam, set it to tomtom gps default and it found it instantly
once again
thank you :lol:
Of course if you'd visited our site before you'd have known the answer
like i said ive been reading the site for about 2 months and never needed help, tried a few searches for tomtom, missing com port, gps recievers, but couldnt find an answer, hence the request, and all sorted within an hour, what a top place for xda help, ive recommended to a few
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

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?
hi, got an exec and been using it for a year now and still loving it as of october i am going to be driving a taxi so, wondered what peoples advice would be, is the exec reliable and usable enough to use as sat nav for my taxi? iv trawled through the forum and read lots about the tom tom issues and im wondering whether or not to just buy an independant tom tom device and keep my exec free as as phone? i will be using my o2 bluetooth headset whilst driving and will need to be able to take calls on it.
also if you think i should stay true to my exec and tomtom her up, any suggestions on where to buy from and best gps unit etc? seen THIS on ebay, was going to use a copy of my mates tom tom but, thinking maybe it would be more reliable to just buy a genuine copy????
many thanks in advance
Hi bobby,
To be honest Tomtom works perfectly on the XDA Exec. I have a MDA Pro(T-mobile version) and i have no problems. At first there were some problems with trying to setup the bluetooth gps recievers with tomtom but that was before version 5.21 was released.
Using the phone at the same time as running tomtom is easily done. the gps reciever does not interfere with a bluetooth headset whatsoever. I have a sony erricsson HBH-300 bluetooth headset with my MDA Pro and i always take calls while using tomtom.
As it goes with the retail version of tomtom the only difference you will get is that you will have the option to subscribe to live traffic updates.
The item you have seen in ebay looks quite good. i have the same gps reciever as that deal which i know is really good but as for the holder you may want to consider getting a holder specific for the Exec as you may want to put it in landscape mode when not using tomtom.
Here are a couple of options for you for the GPS holders and recievers:

Hope this helps you, if you would like a couple of pictures of my setup please let me know.
Been using TomTom on T-Mobile MDA Pro for 9 weeks...upgraded from HP iPAQ 6515 and loving it!!!!!
The screen quality is far superior and it works like a charm
I've been using both TomTom and iGo on my Qtek9000, they work very well. I think I prefer iGo, but it's just a matter of taste I guess.
Make sure to get version 5.21 of TomTom, otherwise a bluetooth GPS reciever won't work.
hi, I use my universal,mda pro, as a sat nav and it works perfectly no issues whatsoever. I'm running tt5.21 with map of uk plus v632 the gps reciever is holux gpslim 236 which is brilliant I highly recommand this one as to the mount I have pdahut holder which does its job but there is 2 probs with it..putting the device in and out of the mount involves two hands and the stability. plus the mount is passive one. all after all is a good combination I'm very happy with it. I cannot comment on using bt headset cos I m not using yet but I am experiencing huge lags answering the phone while navigating..I use wired headset that came with the universal.
cheers, cudo
muchos gracias senors 8) thought i was gonna have to go and fork out for a whole new unti for a moment :roll:
ps. 'itwasntme' if you could mail me a pic or two of your set up il be forever in your debt mate :wink:
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
