I have tomtom 6.10 with north american maps and for some reason its not saving previous searches, nor is it saving current home destination or favorites
anyone have this issue?
are you keeping the maps and voices etc...on the sd card?
Also which version of ttn do you use?
The app itself is installed on the device itself the maps are loaded in the memory card
version is 6.010 (7720)
map version is v650.1052
Check you have a 'My Documents' folder on the sd card....generally thats where tomtom looks.
Sometimes a 3rd party app can drive ttn mental....bluetooth explorer is one such app.
Mine is working fine, gotta be something else
it sounds like mine is set up the same as yours, and it works just fine. try a reinstall
Make sure you're exiting TT properly via the menu and not through Running Programs or with a soft reset. TT appears to save settings on exit so if you bypass this it won't save.
I've try a reinstall a number of times I even reinstall of the WM6 rom, formated my memory card and still its not saving recent info, nor home address

I had this issue with TTN 5 on my JAM- favourites, home and any other personal preferences were not being saved; the problem was that when the files were copied over from a CD-ROM, they were still read-only. I removed that attribute from all folders and files and all was ok.
You can also copy the folders/files off the CD-ROM on to your computer then change the attributes from there.
maps needed
mine workes fine.
just bought tomtom but no maps of europe,
i think there are lots of people who want to share maps..
Same problem
I'm having exactly the same problem. Any changes I make are completely erased as soon as I shut down the app. I created a folder called "My Documents" on my SD card, and even one within it called 'navigator' to mimic the structure on my handheld (Dell Axim x51v). Can someone provide some detailed verifications I can perform to check that everything is working as it should be?

I agree with this... However, the file you are looking for is on the SD Card in the Map folder (eg. USA and Canada 675_1409) it is called MapSettings.cfg. Make sure it is not read only attribute and it will start to save your favorites!
Good Luck
remove "read only" from MapSettings.cfg
use some software like Total Commander or another file manager software and remove "read only" attribute from MapSettings.cfg in the "USA and Canada xxxx_xxxx" directory on your storage card.
That should fix it.

To date I have had the following problems with shortcuts to exe files located on my 1GB Storage Card:
1) Every time I switch on the device, Skype reports that it cannot load the Skype.exe file on the Storage Card, a shortcut of which is in the Startup folder
2) Every reboot, GSPMagic cannot load itself from Startup. If however I delete the shortcut, then create a new one manually in the Starup folder, it works fine! I have checked the old shortcut and it is exactly the same as the new one! They are identical, yet one says that the source file cannot be found.
3) Microsoft Money installed a shortcut in Programs. The shortcut had no icon, and again said the file was not found or needed to be reinstalled. Yet when I created the shortcut manually into Programs, and overwrote the shortcut setup created, it worked fine.
What on earth is going on, and has anyone experienced something similar?
Most other program shortcuts to the Storage Card work fine strangely!
I was under the impression that anything called at startup had to be installed in main memory.
GSPMagic did not work for me on the storage card, but once in main memory was fine.
Can anyone confirm this?
So I have to install Skype on the Device not Storage Card? I don't think the setup instructions said this :?
Glad to hear you're using GSPM++, it means that mackaby07 and I have helped some people!
I too have had trouble when loading this on the memory card, but in the main memory it's fine, and it doesn't take up enough space to worry about either!
Haven't noticed any real speed increase with that lil prog, just testing it at the moment.
However, what about my issues with Skype, and MS Money, both loading from the Storage Card. Surely they shouldn't cause a problem? Weird one this.
CJSnet - at least on the Magician, storage card shortcuts aren't always ready to be run from softreset, it seems like it takes a few seconds after boot for the storage card to be ready to use (so much OS kerchunking going on in the background perhaps). So it's as if the storage card isn't inserted at that point, so they don't launch.
I'll be trying to write a small fix for this at some point...

Great, please do post it back here when you have!
In the meantime any way to fix for example Skype insisting on running every time I wake the device out of standby? It doesn't appear in the Startup group so must be somewhere else, and if on the Storage Card, it won't run -- I get the same error.
4) Microsoft Reader again installs an icon in Programs, but when clicked I get the same error as all the above.
This is therefore not a Startup lag issue.
The exact error is:
"The file 'msreader' [for example] cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file".
Help!
Hehe talking to myself here, but hmm, this is odd, I just tried recreating the MS Reader shortcut.
Original from Setup: 19#\Windows\msreader.exe (<-path does not exist)
Manually created by me: 36#"\Storage Card\Windows\MsReader.exe"
Why is Setup, when I tell it to install Reader on the Storage Card, creating a shortcut that does not mention the Storage Card, and therefore cannot possibly work? This must be the issue with the other items.

This is driving me mad? Why does it make every shortcut to a prog on Storage Card leave out the 'Storage Card' part of the path? Any help greatly appreciated. Maybe a reg entry? :?

Hi Vijay, any news on this handy sounding app?
I am still getting this problem, and not just after boot.
Why is it, whenever I turn the device on from standby power-save mode, I get an error with Skype saying it can't find itself on the Storage Card?
Why is Skype trying to load something when I come out of standby sometimes, but not always?
My main memory is almost full. i tried to get a song sent over to my phone via bluetooth but it couldnt because my memory is almost filled up. i have tons of memory on my minisd card but i cant find a way to reroute the save to the storage card instead of the onboard. can anyone help? thanks
I guess while receiving BT everything else is closed...
I myself: 47/11Mb used storage & 44/39Mb used programfiles @ this moment while running IE, pRSS, Excel, TREregistereditor & total commander.
Almost every program I use is stored on storageCard.
With register change storage path of IE: HKCU\software\microsoft\Internet Explorer\main\default\all files storage location into "storagecard\new data download"
HKCU\software\microsoft\windows\current version\explorer\shell folders\history&cookies&cache storage location into "storagecard\history&cookies&cache "
HKCU\software\microsoft\pictures\ localpath into "storagecard\new pictures"
HKLM\explorer\shell folders\templates into "storagecard\sjablonen"
Offcourse you can place them anywhere on your storageCard.
I hope this gives you some more place for now.
Attached file change storagepath:
install, soft reset, activate Dr-Yar Bluetooth in program files. Then go to todayscreen and tap icon. Change path in desired one.
^ thanks bro!
^ thanks bro!
I was wondering if there is a way to change the location of the recorded video ? By default, it's being stored in device's my documents. I would like to change this to the storage card. The storage options within the camera program only lists main memory and network. I've tried searching the forums but search results were all irrelevant. I've also tried editing the registry but the program still defaults to device's my documents folder. Any help would be appreciated.
Turn on your camera, click the tools icon in the lower right corner, click tools on the lower left toolbar, select options, select general. At the save to prompt select storage card.
Trouble changing the path to the SD
I have the same problem here - the SD option is not appearing, only Main Mem and Network. Any help?
I posted this in another thread somewhere, but for me, this happened when I installed Resco File Explorer and chose the "Show Network - as 'Network' folder under 'My Device'" option. Once I set it back to "Show Network - as 'My Network' root" option I got the option back to store my pics on the SD card.
You probably haven't got Resco installed, but I would guess your problem is connected to something similar.
Problem resolved
Darren,
Many thanks I removed the option from Resco settings. It appears like Reso changed 'Storage Card' to 'Network Folder'. Many thanks!
Forgot something
Also, I noticed PocketLAN or any other networking browser program attempt to add the Network Folder to the directory tree, so it's quite possible that the same happens with these programs too.

No problem. Looks like there's a wee bug in the camera app which would need to be fixed.
I have just solved two major annoyances. My camera could not save to Storage Card, and Pocket IE was ignoring the registry tweak to use cache folders on the Storage Card. It turned out that Resco Explorer was behind it, I'd set it to use a folder called "Network" within "My Device" rather than creating a "My Network" entry at the same level as "My Device". Changed it back, reboot, and now both camera and PIE use the Storage card.
I found this while searching here for the camera prob, but didn't expect it to sort the PIE problem as well so I thought I'd flag it up here.
Now I just need to figure how to make TCPMP see the network!

Yep! that's right camera only allows two locations to store pictures. So when "network" is enabled by any prog e.g Resco and others the camera will offer either Main or Network as the locations. Without Network enabled it offers Main or Storage Card. Until your post had not realised it also applied to PIE as well.
Mike
maybe changing the name of the memory card will work... ''Memory Card" insted of "Storage Card"....then Memory Card should come before Network M<N
I have kind of the opposite problem... Randomly when I reimage my phone and install Resco, network will NOT show up in my file directory. So far, the only solution I have done that works is to reimage it and install it again... anybody else had this weird occurance?

Possibly, there is a post spmewhere where someone identified the registry settings involved.
Mike
I'll do some searching - thanks!
Bummer.. I've poked my head around here and haven't seen that registry edit to enable Network on the root directory... you know where it's at off the top of your head?
I have a storage card in at all times but I actually want photos to be saved to the built-in storage rather than the card. Annoyingly, the Camera application always checks for a card and asks if I want to change the setting. Even though I always tell it I don't want to use the card, it never remembers this.
Can anyone tell me how to fix that?
Cheers!

Usually the camera only asks about storage card when you have just inserted a new card OR you have the "network" folder enabled.
Now unfortunately the camera is only capable of saving to one of two locations at any one time so:
If the view network folder is NOT enabled you will be offered:
"Main" or Storage card" and once set it will remember your choice and not ask again.
BUT with Network folder enabled and a storage card inserted you will:
be asked if you want to use "StorageCard" every time you start Camera, but in camera tools you will only be offered "Main" or "Network" even if you chose the card. It will not set to storage card even if you said you wanted this when camera started.
So, if you want to use main memory with a storage card inserted and don't want the silly question about using storage card each time, then you must disable the network folder. (Use e.g. Resco or Total Commander to do this - forget now if regular File Explorer does it)
Equally if you want to save to storage card you will also need "network" folder disabled otherwise it will save to Main memory even when you say yes to Storage Card on start up of application.
The default setting for the Network folder is disabled, so if you are having problems it is likely to have been enabled by using the likes of Resco or Total Commander.
For those that like the underlying detail:
Specifying your own location in registry=
HKLM - Software - HTC - Camera - Image - SaveFolder - xyz
where xyz is your folder name, but note this folder will be added as a subfolder of the following (in this case storage card) auto added path: /Storage Card/My Documents
Note that setting a location or name other than the defaults will result in problems viewing pictures via the application, though they can be viewed by locating and opening files individually.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image]
value of "Saveto" = 0 will save images to main memory
value of "Saveto" = 1 will save images to storage card

Mine asked about 4 times and then quit. I thought it was odd but all is good now.

Yep, that happens. Though if it just does it a few times it's more likely due to, to put it crudely, it being temperamental about recognising the SD card and storing the registry key number successfully. If it persists then it's more likely due to the network folder issue.
Mike
Thanks for the information. Here's what I've tried so far, based on it:
Installed Total Commander. Couldn't find an option to display the Network Folder.
Installed Rescoe Explorer. Enabled the Network Folder and did a soft-reset.
Before, with Network Folder disabled, the Camera preferences showed "Main Memory" or "Storage Card" as the only two options.
Now, with Network Folder enabled, the Camera options shows "Main Memory" or "Network" as the only two options.
However, the problem has not gone away. It still 'detects' the Storage Card every time I start Camera and asks if I want to use it instead of main memory. I'm using the latest HTC ROM (1.35.255.2 11/14/06).
I also installed PHM RegEdit to check the values you mentioned.
Under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image] I have a key called "SaveFolder_0409" rather than "SaveFolder", but this has the correct value of "My Pictures".
The other key, "Save To", has the correct value of 0 for "Main Memory".
Any other ideas? (Thanks for the help so far.)

Mmmm Pesky thing because in theory if it recognises the card it should not ask each time. I had assumed you had network folder enabled already because with that enabled it definitely will ask about storage card every time. So I would reset to disable network folder. In this mode it should ask about storage card on the first occasion only and once you have chosen ot should not ask again. But as a poster above found this took four goes before it settled down.
So I can only suggest that the act of disabling the network folder again might settle it down and it will only ask you once about storage card.
I;m afraid though this type of problem is rather common and folks just find one day it's fine next day it isn't - in your case I hope the changing of settings to on and off again for network folder may reset things, can't say I'm holding my breath though.
Mike
Heheh - nope, it didn't make any difference. Maybe it's just in the design of this ROM to persistently try and persuade me that I really want to save to the Storage Card. After all, who would want to save to Main Memory when they have a Storage Card inserted? (Answer: me.)
