Just installed and used Tom Tom 3 for my xda, amazing bit of kit. One problem though, if I am navigating around in my car and someone calls me, I answer it and then hang up when finished and the xda says that Tom Tom is running in the header bar but does not show it. Hard restart is the only way back.
Anyone come accross this???
Are you using bluetooth?
The easiest way that I find is to configure one of the hardware buttons (Start | Settings - Buttons) to launch TomTom, i.e. the Contacts Button.
Then when you have finished taking a call simply tap the Contacts button to bring TomTom to the foreground.
This is where mamaich's phone extension comes in handy.
He not only offers a contacts interface from within the phone app that can be accesed with the finger, but also the red hangup button can 'close' the phone app (in call: first button press ends call, second button press 'end' phone app).
Normally then TTN3 come to the foreground again and start talking again.

Yes it is the TomTom Bluetooth device, amazing, no connection issues or dropping satalite yet.
Thanks for the advice on the other matter will give it a go.
Well just used it for a couple of hours switching between TomTom and the phone, perfect,,,,,how strange.
It did however lock up mid navigation, bugger
about the lockup: If your maps are on sd card, try to disable all POI.
9-to-1 that it wont lock up again.
has to do with the limited data-transfer rate of many SD cards.

Will give it ago, all I have on is the fuel stations. Any way in telling what version of TOMTOM I am running, I have just updated it to 3.03 or 3.04 but would like comfirmation that it has done it.
Switch to 'Map' View and click 'File | About' and you will see the current version information.
I noticed the lock-ups (and so have others referring to a certain thread on pocketgps.co.uk) in 3.03
It doesnt matter how many POI categories are 'on'. Just having the file open was enough for my installation to make it lock-up.
Work-around is to disable POI
Solution is buy faster sd card
Used it all weekend, PIO's on, no lock ups. The problem with answering a call and not being able to go back to Tom Tom is due to the fact that after the caller hangs up, the phone app will not shut down. Have used one of the freeware menu/task manager apps, gets round it.
Then the issue for sure is not with your sd card (lucky you!).
Could it be that the gsm was very busy at the time of the lockup (blind spot, getting out of flight mode) These actions can also make your TomTom freeze
Hi all,
Just installed the 3.0.1 update from the iNav site. I noticed that yes it does fix the slow voice issue. Very nice.
But on my 8525 it is extremely slow to start up at time. A soft reset and it opens fine. But after a few hours of use on PPC it takes from 1 1/2 to 2 minutes to open. When I launch it I get the spinning colored wheel and then nothing for well over a minute, then the agreement screen pops up...
Its installed on the internal memory as I thought it was my SD card. Maybe it still it my SD card and its having a hard time reading the map file??? I don't know.
Just looking to see if anyone else is having issues or not.
Thanks!

i have the same issue also.. but its only the program you have loaded on your device as i am sure the map is possibly to large to fit on the phone.. the program itself is loaded on my device, but the map is on my card.. mine doesnt take as long to load, but takes longer than it did on my wizard.. also the voice directions are slow, like i was traveling at 70mph the other day coming up to a turn (i already knew where i was going but testing different BT loads on my device) and it took 3 miles to tell me to turn
Thanks for the reply. Check your version the lastest was posted to fix the slow voice issue when gprs is connected. I have only tested it a bit but the voice flowed quick.
I have not noticed if its saying the prompts too late usually it will alert at like 2mi 1mi then several feet before.
I think my issue is a memory issue. It seems like there is not enough memory for the program. When I am having issues with it pie will crash on pages. So a soft reset resets everything. Wish I could find what the real issue is.
You are correct I have the program on the device and the maps on the card.
you know, your right, the 2 or 3 times i tried to load it up i didnt think i hit the icon right, hit it a 2nd time and it would come up right away, this time i hit it once and it took every bit of 2 minutes to come up... and i do have 3.0 not 3.0.1... lets just say im not able to acquire the patch from the website, nor have i found it anywhere else yet.....
3.0 will open faster if you disconnect GPRS (edge, 3g, whatever) first. However if it connects again you will have the slow voice issue. I have not had time to install 3.01 yet, so I can't confirm that it is fixed. I will also be sending you a PM.
Later, Lew
I had the sane issue with version 2. something. I downlooaded the patch for it and have had no issue maybe they will release a another patch soon.

i can confirm faster load if you drop your data connection, but havent traveled yet to see of 3.0.1 fixes the slow voice
I ran a demo and the voice seams fine. It starts faster then 3.0 if you leave the connection active, but both start fast when disconnected.

Thanks much for the replys. I can confer if you drop your data connection it will start up much faster.
The issue I saw was with the data connection I have to launch the program 20+ times and then it seems to pick up.
I believe that the program as part of that voice fix is trying to knock off the data connection and the 8525 is fighting it preventing the launch. Then after XX times it lets iGuidance start up...
But again thanks so much, dropping the data connection is no big deal..

actually you dont have to try to start x number of times.. try this, hit your icon once and wait a few minutes, i bet it will come up... for some reason with the data connection it takes 2-3 minutes, it could take you 2-3 minutes to hit it 20+ times for it to come up... its just an issue with slow launch..
does anyone have a registered version that they could report this issue to the manufacturer?
lol
I have been bugging them for the release for weeks. I'll let em know! They seem to be having issues with our devoces. They said that the final release would be 12/06. So maybe they are working on it who knows.
Yeah it most likely take me 2 mins to hit it 20 times!
Hi all,
Does anyone where I can download 3.0.1 patch?
I am using 3.0 with all the above issues.
Thanks a lot.

Fix
The problem does seem to be an active internet connection. What I've done is used mortscript to solve this and also the annoying backlight off problem wich Inav seems think is not big deal. All you need to do is first install mortscript with is included in the zip or download if from the website. Put Keep Alive and the script file in the Iguidance directory. Everyithing should work in case you installed iguidance to the memory card or changed directorys in wich you will have to edit the script and point to the correct location. I've also made a shortcut to make it seem a sort of original feel. Just place the shortcut in your windows\start menu\programs location. The only problem is this new version of mortscript does not allow the same script to run over again, so if you exit the program you can't use the attached shortcut to run it again. If anyone has a solution to this let us know.
cheers

i have a simple solution, just hold down the red phone key(end call) for about 5 seconds and the data connection will disconnect, then open iguidance

I like this idea better than holding th end call button. In fact I did the very same thing. You see with this you can end the data connection, start iguidance, change the back lighting (if you want) and reconnect the data connection and anything else you like to change like volume and what not all with one click. Way to share with others benfica88. Makes me feel kinda bad that I didn't post mine for everyone. I guess I forget sometimes that not everyone knows what is available out there.

No probs. Do you by any chance know how to run multiple instances of the same script?
well when hold down the end button to end the data connection it will start back up within a minute or so due to push mail or whatnot.. and changing the backlight wasnt much of an issue for me cause the only time i use this is in my car and when im in my car i have plugged into a car charger.. so the end button solves my problem
on another note, PPC Profiles will do a similiar thing, you can set up profiles on your phone so with the simple tick of a button you can turn on BT, keep the backlight on, change the audio, etc.. the only thing it dont do is kill the data connection... well except turning on BT will do that... i know there are 2 different versions of this program, the author is a loyal windows mobile like the rest of us and created a free version for owners, he also has a version you can buy.. if you guys are interested i know i have the free version around here somewhere..
I am having the same issue with my treo 750, except ending the internet connection does not help. Is there anyother options? My GPS software is useless right now, it wont start up at all. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it will start once, but than after that it will not open at all, even after soft reset
Ok I just soft reset and it does work after I end the internet connection. Man this is a pian though! Is inavcorp aware of this issue at all?
I just got a 8525 and ran into the slow loading problem with iNAV. I am running 3.01 and it does take 1 to 2 minutes for the app to load. If you do press the end call button for 5 seconds before you load iNav it loads in 10-15 seconds. It has to be a flaw in the app.

I have now walked around freezing my ass of in 20 minutes. I'm using tom tom 7 and have also tried google maps. Before hard reset everything worked just fine, it had full reception after 20 sec.
What can have gone wrong?
Maby you forgot using quickGPS?
Nope, used it several times
You have to hard reset one more time. I had the same.

Already did it a second time. Don't know what more to do.
I've had this happen on my Touch Pro and my Kaiser. It takes an obscene amount of time after a hard reset to get a gps signal. Try just leaving it on for a couple of hrs. If it never comes up then u have something serious to worry about
Ok, but you can't catch signal of gps or software can't see any gps hardware?

Well, Tom tom tells me that it has found the hardware. Then it starts to search and I can see in the gps info that it hasn't even found one satellite.
I have contacted the support my mail. If they can't help me the phone goes back to the store.

Here's what I did when I had your problem, I went to the settings of TomTom and then GPS-status > Configuration > Another Bluetooth GPS (Instead of built in GPS) > COM 4. All of a sudden it started working again!

Yes this is what happened to me. It detects the hardware but doesn't find a satellite for a quite a while and then after that first run of the GPS software it works fine.
I did one more hard reset today. Ran quickGPS, walked up a hill and placed the phone on a table for 30 minutes today. I have also restarted the phone and tried wayfinder, google maps and tom tom. At best tom tom gave me 3 gray bars. Wayfinder tells me that the signal is 25% but doesn't gives me a position. Goggle maps gives me a position but not so exact. I give up. Will leave it for service tomorrow. ohh, by the way. The support couldn't help me with any extra information.
GPS dead after hard reset
Hello,
The GPS of my Xperia is also dead after a hard reset.
Before it worked for weeks without a problem. After a hard reset is totally dead.
You should both install Chartcross GPSTest and run it. Set it to Auto. If you have no luck, kill the QuickGPS program from task manager and try again.
NB: When I had this problem, changing the baud rate to 9600 solved it, until the next hard reset when I had to set it back to 4800.
Hi Guys,
I'm having a similar problem with my X1.. I turn TomTom on after a hard reset and after a minute I get a GPS signal which is fine but then within a minute of using the app it completely freezes the phone and then the only way to get the phone working again is to remove the battery and start the phone again.. it seems to only happen when trying to make use of the GPS all other functions of the phone are OK as long as I don’t use the GPS..
Any ideas..?
I had same problem with gps refusing to get a lock so I just returned it to shop as it doesnt work as its supposed to. I think these forums are brilliant with lots of helpful people but at the same time I think £500 is enough money to spend that I shouldnt still have to search for help to get the phone to work as it should.

same issue... return device is nonsense, should be a software problem
make sure you set the GPS port as COM4, rather than Intermediate Driver. The latter is supposed to act as a virtual driver above the physical com port (com4), and selecting this "virtual" port will hang (at least on my Garmin MXT). I don't have that in my Touch Pro so I really think this is a Xperia bug.
must I deactivate "manage gps automatically"? can you tell me exactly ALL gps parameters? tnx
so has anyone found a solution to this yet?
SE support say they haven't even heard of the issue despite the number of posts about it around the forums
solution for me was: hard reset -> gps test -> tomtom and all others apps work fine
Drove home tonight and had to avoid an accident, turned on Tom Tom 7 and the phone locked up after a few minutes requiring a reset. Tried again, same thing happened.
Tried google maps, again same thing happened after a few minutes. This happened to anyone else? I have TouchFlow 3d installed (but same happened without it loaded). I was able to use TomTom for half an hour a few weeks ago with no issues.
Anyone else having an issue or know of a problem?
No, I am driving with bluetooth on and connected to my Parrot CK 3100 and Navigation with Navigon MN7. I can make and receive phone calls without problems while navigating. After the phone call the navigation is shown after a few seconds again and at the right place (not where the call started!).
Just as it should be...
This happened to me on Sunday when I was using Copilot 7. I then tried Google maps and it froze again. To solve this I reinstalled Copilot and this seems to have solved the problem.
Only reason I could think of is that I had just transfered the files across to a bigger sd card and thats why it kept freezing. Not sure how it was related to google maps as it was only the copilot files I had on the memory card.
All this could have effected GPS in some way but I'm not sure.
Hope this helps...

I noticed that if you don't connect to GPS via com4, but rather GPS Intermediate driver, this will hang.
What's the GPS setting of your Tom Tom?
TomTom just shows it as "Built-in GPS receiver". I think the COM4 is only for external GPS?
COM4 can be used for apps which don't realise that there is a built-in GPS. If TomTom is playing up it's worth trying it.
Tried COM4 setting but TomTom still locked up the phone after a few minutes(I'm in the office with poor GPS visibiliy also). Soft rebooted and tried Google maps which wouldn't recognise COM4 so went back to normal setting. Google maps then continued to work with no issues this time. I hadn't yet loaded TouchFlo 3D panel. Could this be a resources issue, is just having Touchflo installed a likely culprit? I haven't made any "tweaks" to performance/memory, was also thinking of installing the custom rom (itje?) with TouchFlo included as I hear it runs better than installing the cab?
gps problems
I have had gps working perfectly with copilot 7 in fact been amazed how fast the lock is etc but now it has stopped worling altogether for no apparent reason. No hang ups or freezes just not getting a lock at all on either copilot or google maps. I have even tried a hard reset and reinstalled everything and despite wandering about outdoors for ages, still nothing. Anyone got any ideas before I have to send my phone back? Thanks.
same problem here, tomtom 7.4 and 7.9 hangs the phone. If i don't activate intermediate driver ("manage gps automatically", I suppose) tomtom can't find gps receiver
also, it isn't a tomtom problem because demo mode withot receiver goes very well (tested 1 night while sellping, no hangs)
Are you using XperiaTweak and changing the graphics and system cache values I had the same problem with tt7 after changing system cache too high, if you are try lowering system cache value.

although i don't use tomtom, this is consistent with my observation that using intermediate driver will hang the phone (I use Garmin MXT)
did you try using com4 instead? it should work.
hard reset seems to fix the issue... have to test more before declare it definely solved but now seems to work (30 min without freeze...) I pray

have you ever used Advance Config to enable Quick GPS? I noticed that might have created compatibility issue. Couldn't prove it though.
hell I don't think I've seen the GPS get a lock once... on google maps it always had "searching for satellites (0)" and it never increased. I usually found what I was looking for and closed the app by then. I installed Advanced Config 3.3 and saw that it said A-GPS was disabled, so I enabled it and made sure QuickGPS was updated with info and tried google maps again. Still... it can't find any satellites. My HTC touch diamond would get a lock in seconds on the stock ROM, even indoors. I think SE really dropped the ball with the X1 =\

as I mentioned earlier, I observed that my GPS reception/fix is more stable if I do not enable A-GPS via the Advanced Config method, but just download the data from the program.
now I can even get fix indoor or my underground carpark (not totally covered so signal reception is still possible)!
I had this problem for the first time today.
Both iGO and Tomtom would freeze after a few minutes requiring the battery to be removed to gain control of the device again. I did a hard reset only a couple of days ago so it should be relatively clean.
Eventually I found that downloading the latest QuickGPS file appears to have solved the problem (even though the previous one still had 5 days to run). I wonder if the QuickGPS file was corrupt?
Does the system use QuickGPS only once when starting up the GPS, or does it continue to consult with it during navigation? My experience suggests the latter, or it may just be coincidence...
First, make sure you test w/ nothing being install to make sure no other conflict.
I've been using Igudiance4(w/ GPS gate), Igo8, Garmin Mobile XT 5.020 (TomTom 7 not tested because it's suck compare to others) more than an hour (Los Angeles to San Diego) without issue (and I am using CorePlayer to play music in the background too).
I have nailed down the issue to the GPS setting applied by the Advanced Config Tool (ACT). Will probably have to go deeper to understand the registry value it sets so that I can simulate the same w/o the ACT to prove/conclude the point.
But before I undo the setting by ACT, I frequently have drop GPS signal (Garmin will always complain lost satellite, takes a few minute to acquire before losing the satellite signal again). If I switched to GPS Intermediate driver, instead of COM4, I would get the hung situation.
After I have undone the ACT's GPS setting, my Xperia now has NO drop signal, nor will it hang when I access the GPS through the GPS intermediate driver port, instead of physical com 4.
I am having the same problem again now after I updated the QuickGPS yesterday. And I can confirm this is not related to bluetooth or xperiatweak or TouchFlo 3D or intermediate driver or the navigation softwares.
This is the problem:
Start Igo8 -> GPS gets coordinates -> working fine for 2-3 minutes -> THE PHONE FREEZES
Start Tomtom 7 -> GPS gets coordinates -> working fine for 2-3 minutes -> THE PHONE FREEZES
Basically, after using the GPS for like 2 - 3 minutes, the phone crashed and needed to be soft-reset. I think running the QuickGPS caused the problem. I had the same problem last time I updated the quickGPS. But after like a week the freeze problem had gone. Since then I had not updated the QuickGPS for a long time until yesterday and my igo8 and tomtom had been working fine last week without any freezes.
Hello there,
I am using the latest TomTom (vga.7.915.9196.black gps underground) on my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone).
I use TomTom very often to get "voice-navigation" only via headphones while riding my bike. Therefore, I need to keep my Touch HD in my pocket, listening to voice-instructions only. In order to prevent any error inputs via the touch-screen, I use Gyrator to lock the screen.
Now the problem: TomTom shuts itself down every 15 minutes automatically, asking: "TomTom Navigator is still running and using the battery. Would you like to close NAVIGATOR?" If this popup-screen remains unanswered, TomTom closes itself after 2 minutes.
This is, of course, very annoying, because this makes hands-free navigation on a bike impossible.
Is there any way to fix this problem?
I have done my "homework" searching various forums, but couldn't find a clue. I appreciate any help very much.
Yours

Hi Ya.
i had the same problem, re installed tom tom and the same issue.
mine would only shut down when i went to navigate to a location, so. i deleted the maps which was western Europe and installed UK only and it work ok now.

I also have Western Europe Maps installed. It's odd that the reason should be the maps installed...
Anybody else can confirm this or has found a workaround?

Hi guys
Same problem here. I'm using TTN7 with my HTC HD2 running WM6.5. I also want to use TT voice only when I'm on my motorbike, but am also encountering the timeout problem. I've got Western Europe maps installed.
Did either of you guys solve the problem apart from switching to UK only maps?
Neil
Hi Guys
I've cracked this problem - I couldn't do it by trapping the notification, so I attacked it a different way. The attached script just counts how long TomTom has been in background and then makes it the active window every nine minutes to stop the timeout.
If external power is used, or if TomTom is brought to foreground, then the counter is reset and the counter is only restarted when the power cable is unplugged or TomTom is sent to background.
The process relies on the KeepAwake program. The script will automatically load KeepAwake if it's not running.
It's my first Mortscript, so it may not be coded the way experienced scriptwriters would write it so if anyone wants to suggest improvements, then I'll be happy to take them on board.
When I'm out and about on my bike, I use a program called deltaLock by Christophe Sommer to lock the screen. I set deltaLock to use the HTC back button to unlock and Lock Mode set to "black screen" (I used this on my Tytn II with TTN6).
Happy to receive any feedback
Neil
