I just got my HD today, and almost the first thing i did was installing TT7 to my SD card. if i start TT7 it works fine, (the VGA edition) but it's slow as heck? it's like watching a slideshow while navigating! while my TyTN2 was a lot smoother (and that was slow even!)
whats going on?

I've got a problem with my new MDA Pro and my legal copy of TomTom5.
It looks like TomTom is getting slower and slower when I use it, almost like there's a memory leak or buffers that are overflowing.
When I start TomTom and directly close it, there's no problem.
But when I start and navigate for about half an hour, the maps aren't draw smoothly anymore. Just like a cartoonmovie where some images are missing, the picture is "jumping" (hope you know what I mean).
When navigating for about one hour TomTom takes about 2 minutes to close and the program memory has about 10 Mb less than before I started TomTom. This memory is (as far as I know) only released with a soft-reset.
When navigating for more than 90 minutes TomTom doesn't close anymore and there's no reaction from my MDA. A soft-reset was the only solution.
I have this problem not only when navigating, also when I use the "advanced planning" option this problem occurs.
All POI's are disabled.
When TomTom slows down, it's not only the program. All other functions of the PDA slow down. For instance, when I receive a text message the sound takes about 30 seconds to complete the notification sound... :?
My MDA Pro is upgraded with the latest T-Mobile Netherlands ROM.
Don't know if the problem also occurs with the origininal ROM because I flashed it right after I bought it.
TomTom is version 5.21.
Any thoughts?
Using the same windows rom (vodafone ext) I have the similar issue, I can install it and get as far as choosing a voice, when it gets so slow it stops, after which it closes. Oh dear! No more tomtom. Big problem and no one knows how to fix it, amazed you got it to go as far as actually loading up at all.

Any change you could let me in on the secret too?
Hi
How is the speed in tomtom, on your devices?
I have TomTom 6, on my advantage, and tomtom 5 on my universal...
The universal runs really smooth but the advantage stutters and updates once per second were the uni is total smooth.
Does anyone else have this issue? Is it the onboard GPS chip? or TomTom, or because the maps are install on the mciro drive, althoug i have installed them on main memory as well and it was no diffrent?
Is there a fix?

if you have the screen landscape instead of portrait, tomtom takes 4 times longer to draw the picture !! it is a known issue with tomtom but the creators cant be bothered to sort it out.

I have them both running in landscape, its just so slow at updateing am going to try and link my old GPS to the advantge and try that.
It runs slower than an Orange SPV I've seen running. It runs the same sort of speed as my old Axim x50v - there is a 'speed improvement' which basically involves turning off all the POI's as you're driving along - this gives the display a boost.
I've also seen suggestions of running the maps of the internal memory (if you've space) or a MiniSD card, which is supposed to increase performance, but I cannot say for definate if this is the case.
Oh yeah, and going from V6.00 to v6.010 has certainly helped!
QVGA
The biggest problem is the vga screen. Does anybody have a utility that can force the screen to qvga (lowres)? The VGA resolution and the OS that supports portrait better than landscape are the problem for the Ameo. When we can force TomTom to lowres it will be much faster.
i have the igo 8.3.xx in my HD.the problem is that when i run it and move with my car the igo is about 3 secs behide the original position.any idea what is the problem????
thank you
Well I have IGO8.3 on my HD, WM6.5, and it runs smoothly - much better than TomTom. The problem could be that your version isn't HD optimized or something. Try different versions or other apps like TomTom. It will help you to figure out if it's smth to do with your phone's hardware...
By the way, incidentally, my GPS has stopped working about 2-3 hrs ago for no reason at all! Gonna try a diffrent ROM and see if it helps. It used to take 25 seconds to power up IGO and get a GPS Fix before. But now - no fix at all...
Make sure your system clock is perfectly synced and update satellites with QuickGPS, this should reduce the lag.
I've read here that Flight Commander lags on the HD2. I don't want to buy the game just to find that it doesn't work on my HD2 :-(
It's annoying that you cannot download a demo before buying it.
So... Have anyone of you had any success playing FlightCommander on your HD2?

I've not had lag in games I've played yet, including several that people say do lag for them.
But I've not tried flight commander, I didn't realise it was for sale yet

I found it here... http://www.handango.com/catalog/ProductDetails.jsp?productId=259024
Too expensive though if it turns out to be choppy.
at clickgamer it is much cheaper. thats where i bought it.
its not as smooth as i would expect it to be,but its still totally playable
Pretty smooth, muuuuuch better than on the xperia
i have the same Problem. First it didnt run at all, then - after installing -Net Framework 3.5 - it runs but quity laggy. Playable, but slow. What i do not get is how it could run absolutly smoothly on the slower HD.
install this cab:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592663
and switch to "slow anti-stutter mode" with the glModeSwitch app that is included.
it works perfectly after that.
this game plays perfectly until it is game over. Then probably 60% of the time my phone hangs and i have no alternative but to remove the battery and restart the phone that way?
Any ideas?
I can't stop FC from rotating, it's not in the whitelist. Everything else on the phone works right, it's just FC keeps rotating? Maybe it's me...
I received my HD2 about an hour ago, so far everything works really well.
I am downloading a CoPilot map at the moment, Australia. It gets better GPS reception in my house than iPhone 3GS did, actually locks onto signal.
Damn thing is fast, very nice.
I found Task Manager (basic version) under the Settings Tab > Miscellaneous > Task Manager. This may be in other versions, I just hadn't seen anyone mention it.
Congratz! Keep us posted on your cool toy

Hey congrats on joining the Leo club! Haha
Where are you getting the CoPilot map for Australia from?
Let us know how it goes
Nice to hear they have Aussie maps for CoPilot... have been having trouble getting a solid answer from any resellers.
Get mine 23rd.
Roll on Monday! (never though I'd EVER say that!!)
So far everything has been fine, friggin great machine.
SIZE...
It definately feels the right size to me, easy for me to hold and use.
SPEED...
Damn!!! <--- enough said
HTC SENSE...
Kinda cool, most of it works well. There are a few little issues with some aspects of it, having to back out of some meus as there is no Exit or "X" available. Nothing that would stop me from getting the device.
WIFI...
Connected straight away to my Billion 7404VNPX unit, didn't do a signal strength test - I will tomorrow. Using WPA2-PSK/AES security, no broadcast SID and MAC address restricted.
GPS/COPILOT...
Really quick to lock signal, average 10 seconds I would say. I have been impressed with CoPilot on the HD2, looks really nice. Saying that, CoPilot has a few annoying points. No "qwerty" keyboard and it thinks my street is only in one suburb, not the one I live in. I have seen this on the dedicated Navteq units as well - all the other GPS's are fine.
It actually picked up the sats in my house, first device I had do that. While it didn't find the sats everywhere in the house, I'd say it worked in 60% of it. Weakest was four sats, near an external wall it jumped to seven or more. That's better than my dedicated TomTom that I "used" to use.
It gave me the option to pick a map to download for the trial. I choose Australia for obvious reasons.
I really do like the ability to HIDE CoPilot, actual button on screen.
GPS/TOMTOM...
I am loading TomTom tonight and will update this tomorrow.
CALL QUALITY...
Better than my iPhone, noticeably. It is stronger and cleaner, where I normally would loose signal (iPhone 3GS) I didn't with the HD2.
BLUETOOTH...
Will test this tomorrow morning when I go out to Rhodes Shopping Centre.
VIDEO...
THe HTC Album played my videos that I ripped for my iPhone without any problems (*.mp4 and *.m4v). It wouldn't play an AVI I downloaded . So, I installed CorePlayer and it played the AVI without any problems. Video (DVDs) that I ripped for my iPhone worked without any additional work on my part, that's nice. More importantly, they looked great on the bigger screen.
I know some of you are concerned about it being able to play 720p etc. While nice, my main concern was not having to re-do videos I already had done, again. I don't, so to me that makes it a winner. I'll just keep making the videos the way I was, they looked great.
OK, I might fiddle with the next one I RIP to see what I can get working. I don't need to as the quality was fine already, but it will be fun to try (a.k.a. play).
KEYBOARD...
Yes, the HD2 is a sensitive "gentle" beast when typing. I hit the wrong key a couple of times hear and there today, just a matter of getting used to the keyboard. I didn't have any lag or anything like that. Only issue I saw was getting used to a much more responsive screen, light touch is all that's needed.
SMALL OS BOXES/ITEMS...
There are still remnants of WM, for obvious reasons, that you may run into if you roam about the device, which most of us on this forum will do. While it was fiddly trying to click on the small items, it wasn't anything major and since I don't roam about my device continually every day (once I get it configured I I leave it alone) I personally don't have a problem with it. Some of this may disappear with WM 6.5.1 - definately with WM7.
MS OFFICE 10 BETA...
Haven't played with this yet (installed it), waiting on getting Sharepoint 2010 BETA up and running next week (already have Exchange 2010 running). I'll then give it a go and see how it all works together.
SOFTWARE...
I've only installed a couple of things so far, I am running the latest version of everything. I checked every title before installing.
1. Resco File Explorer (no issues, running on Storage Card)
2. SPB Wallet (no issues, running on Storage Card)
3. PocketBible (had to soft reset three times before it would launch - working fine now, running on Storage Card)
4. Resco Soduko Touch (no issues running, graphics/text need update to support high resolutions (jagged edges), running on Storage Card)
5. CorePlayer (no issues, running on Storage Card) ***Change VIDEO OUTPUT to GDI***
6. Dutty's Task Manager (no issues running - have two task manager apps installed (one included with Leo is very basic), running on Internal storage) *** I disable Sense before installing this, then re-enabled it after finshed install.***
7. Skype (no issues, running on Storage Card)
I'll add more as I experience it... Going to load Electopia tonight and see how that goes.
Copilot
Copilot Australia map downloads straight to the device.
Very nice. It works well with pinch & zoom.
I can't for the life of me, active it.
There is no Aus version download online, and no way to get an activation number. I've emailed them but no answer for 3 days.

I agree the download to device and software is nice. I haven't tried activating it yet so I can't comment. Would really suck if you can't activate it. If you hear back anything definately let me know.
On another point...
For some reason Opera isn't renering some web pages very well (www.seek.com.au). If I go to the same page with IE it looks right. Normally I haven't had any issues with Opera, but for the time being I'm going to use IE as it is rendering pages better.
***UPDATE***
I've found the the Opera browser renders the majority of pages equal or slightly better than IE, however, not always.
