help - xdaII mini in-call problems

hi, my name is warren and i'm from australia, and i require some help with my o2 xda ii mini
i have been playing around with bluetooth stacks and programs to get my bluetooth gps reciever to talk with my xdaII mini, and have come intio a new problem that has only seemed to come about recently
so.. the phone works fine
except.. when i am in-call, if i turn the pda on (eg to make a note or check the call timer) then the phone stops working. i can still hear the other person, but they can't hear me. i assume the microphone stops working or something? if i call them back immediately it works fine again, its just if i turn it on in-call!
i installed a bleutooth stack on here but i cant uninstall it to see if that fixes the problem
HELP!
thanks,
Warren

Which BT stack did you install? Most GPS receivers work flowlessly. In most cases the only thing to install is a patch called BTComPort.cab.

yeah unfortunately i realise that now!
i did install the above "BTcomport" patch but i also installed this stack: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249219
nto sure what to do. i tried uninstalling it but it says files are in use. i tried deleting all the required files, but cannot delete 2 of them which are apparently in use

TomTom Navigator Crashing on Hermes

Have just received my Kingston 1GB Transflash card and installed TTN v602 on my Hermes.
Installation was succesfull but each time I start TTN the software freezes. It wont respond to any screen taps. If I go back to the Today Screen and select the TTN icon in the sys tray it brings TTN back up and it works fine.
Anyone else exerienced this and know of any fix...
Many thanks

Try and wait for a long long time. My Charmer starts TomTom.. in.. almost 2 minutes.

I run TT 6.02 (7980) on an German Vario II
This Version makes nothing Problems

It wont respond to any screen taps. If I go back to the Today Screen and select the TTN icon in the sys tray it brings TTN back up and it works fine.

I get the exact same problem sometimes. I just figured that it was doing it because it was reading off the card or something.

Running TTN601 on mine... Have a similar problem... I've setup a key (recorder key) to start software for ease and find if you run it up, hit red end call button then restart (I then use rec button) all is well and it won't lock up.
Very strange...
I did have a problem with it locking up on a longish journey, say 80 miles or so.. I had to re install it and since the re install it has been perfect (watch it lock up now !!)
Also running it on a new 2Gb sandisk card, only £33 off Ebay, not bad value. Just copied one card to the other via 2 card readers, no problems, I mention that as some folks appear to have had problems.

Well Im glad its not just me - makes me feel better! Still, TTN worked perfectly on my Wizard so I am very confused as to why it gives me probs now.
Maybe its down to the Transflash card. Over the weekend I will do some more testing and re-installation and let you know how I get on.
Merry XMAS everyone!

same problem here. it always seems to crash when i'm entering in a postcode. Always took me about 3 attempts to type in the full code!

Yep, same here as well, tapping the red end call button and then clicking on the tomtom hands again does bring it back but it is very annoying, needs to be fixed though along with the bluetooth issues as well.
I would not of got this phone if i new about these issues, i am sure these problems can be resolved with a new firmware, the trouble is T-Mobile seems to be useless as releasing one. There are other ones released so that might be an option if they dont hurry up and release a new one.
The wizard was much more reliable, had very few issues with that once flashed with molskis rom shame one cant be made for this model.

TTN 6 is a bit of a slug on my tytn, especially when you enter a street and it has to crunch through the list.. it 'crashes' occasionally when you select exit.. apart from that though it starts snappy and does it's job.

In my case, TomTom freezes only when I load big(ger) maps like Western-Europe or the Benelux-Plus. When I load a smaller map, say the Benelux, then TomTom works like a charm, no freezes at all!
I tried TomTom 6.0, 6.01 and 6.02: all the same problems with large(r) maps.

Same Problem
I've the same problem when i use the TT without a GPS-Device. When GPS device is on, there is no problem at all. No Idea Why....
Fuzzi

Hi! I raised the same problem about one month ago but without any reasonable solution. Someone tell to delete the COM port on the BT pair, someone tell to enable security on the COM port of the BT pair... I tried all TTN6 versions (6.0, 6.0.1 and 6.0.2) on my TyTN (also with different ROM versions) but Navigator still freezes when inserting adresses, with or without GPS receiver (I'm using TomTom Wireless GPS MkII)...

I have experience the same with my tytn with latest htc rom I have now installed v5.210 and tested today on 2 trips 20 & 50 mile trips without any freezing so will stick with this for now..

Was there any update to this? or is it basically go back to version 5 of TT?
Cheers

If it any help I'm running TTN601 with a Holux GPSlim236. It is set to use Com port 4 with no additional input or output ports configured.
If I run TT and then within a few seconds try to navigate by entering either a postcode or an address etc it will lock up and I have to exit the program.
I have found that if I run the program up, then close it (it doesn't really appear to shut, just the screen returns to the today screen) then re run TT it will then work without a hitch.. I've setup my voice recorder button to run TT on 1 short press to save even needing the stylus.
I guess it may be a memory problem why it locks up but this method works 100 % for me since I started doing it and it's no great hassle with a key having been configured..
TTN6.01 works fine, I've got all the real voices setup for speed camera warnings etc (the OGG files). I don't bother with the TT cameras, I use pocketgps for mine...
Just incase it's a memory issue I've just checked mine by clicking on the version sats icon, then version icon on the screen.
I'm running version 6.010 (7720) with 16.6MB of free ram and gps driver v1.2.. I understand that there is version 6.02 available but that may cause me problems greater than the minor quick restart one so I will stick with this one for now...
p.s some folks seem to think that the larger the micro sd card you have the slower the Tytn(m3100 in my case) seems to get but I've got a 2 gig card loaded with MP3's and even a couple of full length movies should I get board over christmas and the new year (sad isn't it !) and it appears no slower than with a half empty 1 gig card..
May be some of that is of help..
Phil

Some other strange issues...
Not sure if this problem is related to TT freezing, but after I have been out on a journey and closed TomTom down a few of the icons from my Start --> Settings --> System screen are missing.
I have lost GETPDA.exe so cant post what remains - but things like Device Info are missing. They return after a soft boot.
Anyone else have the same probs?
Happy new year!

I'm using the latest Australian ROM, and TomTom Navigator 6.02, running the Australian map with no issues at all. Navigation is fast, and works perfectly with no crashes - I just returned from a ~2500km journey using TomTom on my phone the whole way with no issues at all.
Running a GlobalSat BT308 bluetooth GPS, security enabled, set to COM0.

Problem Resolved!
Ok - looks like TomTom have released an update that fixes the issue with the Hermes crashing during menu selection.
I now have version 6.100 (7970) installed and it works perfectly!
EDIT - also, this new version is sooo fast!! A vast improvement!

No Issues (with the software at least)
Hello All
I hav ebeen using TomTom v6.0 on my HTC TyTN for 2 months now. I have had no issues at all. No slowness, no crashing. The only issue is the Bluetooth connection to my receiver.
I am using the GB maps, so not huge.
Just waiting now for the update at the end of the month to solve the Bluetooth Issues so that the connection to my Bluetooth receiver does not keep dropping the connection.
O well, we will wait and see
TyTNMan

Thanks an regards,

TomTom sound off when starting

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.

TomTom6 Sound
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

TomTom Navigator problems

I see there has already been a thread started with regards to the compatibility of TomTom 7 on the Topaz but it has been closed.
Seeing as it is such a new device I do wonder if any one has actually used it out driving yet? I am sure some of you have installed it to confirm it starts and fits to the screen etc.
I have used it this morning and found that the voice directions are being clipped. An example being "After.................." when it should really be "After 300 metres you have reached your destination".
Now if you google the symptoms you will see this has been an age old problem even afflicting the dedicated TomTom devices. In fact I had the same problem on a TYTN II but was easily fixed by selecting another voice and then selecting the original again but this phone is a bit more stubborn.
I have moved the voices from the SD card the the phone memory, reinstalled TomTom, deleted all setting for TomTom, Re-Downloaded the voice Jane, tried different voices and languages and, as a last resort, hard reset the phone.
I am running version 7.915 so I guess the only other thing is to try an earlier version.
I wonder if I am the only one or is this an issue with the Phone and TomTom?
Oh and the GPS lag issue still persists but I have learnt to live with it on previous models.
Any feedback would be appreciated including the version you are running and where you store your voices. Many thanks.

same problem here
with italian voice and 7.910 version..

Same here with dutch VGA version 7.915.9196 and all dutch voices (didn't try other languages).

I remember also that ttn6 had this kind of problems with speedcamera warnings that wasn't optimized with gpsbabel... maybe this could help you?

Same here with the Spanish voice, athough it's funny because it only cuts on the parts "In 200m...." or "In 500m..." all the other recordings are fine

Changing maps does't help
I tried 2 different versions and several maps (both 7 and 8 maps) and all that doesn't help. I was not able to try the TT version 7.915.9196 BLACK VGA mentioned above so let's hope that's THE one that works.
I still find this voice-cutting problem rather strange: when pushed in the lower left corner (to set volume) the messages don't cut off.
Anyone for a solution?

Nope, version 7.915.9196 BLACK VGA has the same problem on my device with dutch ROM.

i have tried.
8.10 and 8.15 maps of benelux and western EU.
tomtom 7.915
program works with with maps, only the same problems as noted above me.

Of the voices I have installed Bonnie (USA) and Ken (Australia) don't cut out after the after. As bonnie's voice is so annoying I guess that leaves me with Ken.
EDIT: Spoke too soon, it only works sometimes.

Yup, same problem here . Have tried many different voices and they all do the same thing. Will watch this thread in the hopes someone cracks it.
Fingers crossed.

TomTom voice issue

Hello everybody,
I'm posting on the board because I've searched a lot but till now I've not found a solution.
I've installed the TomTom 7.916.9192 and all works fine.
I've a strange problem with the default italian voice.
It will "truncate" the first letter when a phrase is pronunced.
So for example if it says:
"Tra 300 metri girate a destra"
it pronunces:
"ra 300 metri girate a destra"
It truncates the "T" letter.
I've tried to change the voice and I have the same issue.
I've tried the TomTom 7.915.9186 version and I have the same issue.
There is someone that has the same issue?
I've installed the tomtom on SD card.
The same app on my HTC TyTN II works fine.
Any help, please?

Noone has the same issue or a solution to this???

Never had this problem; but TomTom voice direction can use a lot of internal memory and could be affected if there is radio transmission at the same time. If possible, terminate data connection and stop any other programs running in memory before starting TomTom.

Hello Stephen,
I use TomTom in my car so I've not other apps in memory and there is no data connection.
So I have no idea what to do.
It's a noisy to listen to "truncated" directions...
