Hey guys,
first post on this, what seems to be a great forum.
I recently bought the Jade and overall i'm very pleased with it.
Today I had some time to install gps software. I picked TomTom 7.450 because i like it more than Igo. The program itself is installed well but i just can't get the receiver activated.
I allready used several settings (disabled agps, 'built-in gps' or 'other nmea receiver' in tomtom, also with different baud rates) but it keeps saying i have a bad reception, it's waiting for a useable signal and it doesn't find any satellites.
I already installe the cab file i found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3031549&postcount=5 but that also doesn't seem to help anything.
Would someone be willing to give a step by step guide in how to get this thing fixed?
Secondly, can someone tell me what setting I should use in orde to still see the 'start button' when i'm using TomTom. With my last pda it remained there when TomTom was activated, so I could also use other programs but with the Jade i can't seem to find how to do this.
Sorry if there are some grammatical errors in this post, I'm from Belgium . Thanks in advance!
update:
i managed to get some signal and got a fix, but after about a minute it was lost again and it won't find it again.
Also I installed IgO8 but it won't start on my jade so I guess I'll have to do it with TomTom...
OK, let's try to find where is the problem .
First chceck your registry. Find out what is your settings in this path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/SUPL AGPS
Set GPSMode to 1
Set EnableAGPS to 0
If you already installed that CAB, it should be like this. This is going to make your GPS fix slower but more accurate and reliable (or it seems to do that ).
Second, download and install GPS Tuner from http://www.gpstuner.com/ . This is a great GPS software for offroad navigation which I use when testing GPS recievers.
Do not allow it to set your GPS receiver automatically. Set your GPS in GPS Tuner to COM 4, baud rate 4800 and Type 1. Go to "GPS Panel" and click green button "Start GPS". Do not leave this tab, because you can see how your receiver is getting fix. Be patient, especially if you do not have a good view of sky. The reason why I use this to test GPS is that you can see satelite signal even if you do not have a fix. Not all GPS applications do that.
If GPS Tuner is able to get fix in some time, there is something wrong with your TT settings. If it is not, there is something wrong with your GPS receiver or registry settings.
In the gps panel tab, the following results were given after pressing start gps (after about 2-3mins):
Lateral and longitudinal positions, altitude were correct
PDOP: 3,7 (good)
Fix: 3d fix
Furthermore it found 16 sats from which 7 were active.
So i presume it's not the gps unit itself but the TT settings? Registry settings are ok i think.
Many thanks allready!
Use latest version of TT
Try to install the latest version (v7.9) of TomTom. This one works ok on the Jade and you can also use the latest maps.

Right! And normaly there is no need to change any gps settings...
I just installed the latest TomTom and everything works fine.
Hey,
i got the 7.450 version to work and it's working brilliantly. Thanks for the link to the 7.9 version Jgeerts, but i'm going to stick with the 7.450 version now it's working .
Heb trouwens even even op je link rondgesnuffeld en de flitspalen zullen erg goed van pas komen! Waarvoor dank natuurlijk.

Yes, but version 7.9 gives correct status for the sattelite reception and it also supports the latest v8.15 (and higher) maps. Version 7.450 does not support the v8 maps.
To be very honest. The file you linked me to (http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/8910078/74070269/sharing.html) gives me an ttsystem file after unpacking without an extension (no .cab, no .exe) and i actually don't have a clue how to use it
edit:
ok, got it to work, i installed the TomTom_7.910.9185 QVGA Black. I hope this one's ok?
Correct version.

@ jgeerts -- thanks very much for linking it. Is it the exe file in the 'tomtom pda' folder that I should download? (TomTom Navigator 7.910.9185 qvga black.exe)? Or is it TTN_7.910.9185_Cracked.rar?

Wrong, I'am using 7.450 and v8.15 maps, works perfect!!!
To use v8 maps on TT7.450 use keygen v7
To use v8 maps on TT7.910 use keygen v8
That's all ;-)

I also have TTN_7.910 9185 QVGA Black.cab and when i trie to install it on my HTC Touch 3G NL i'am getting a errormessage: Installation of TTN_7.910 9185 QVGA Black.cab failed.
This file is okay, i had it installed on my HP iPaq hx2110 with WM5.
Anyone any idea?
TTN7.910 works now, read below how i managed it:
It allready had TTN_7.450.9028 VGA.cab installed on my HTC Touch 3G NL, although the Touch 3G is a QVGA device it worked (some textlines are to big for the screen).
On this thread i found following link: (http://www.4shared.com/account/dir/8...9/sharing.html).
There you can find: TT7_v7.910.9185_vga_via_update_van_7450.9028.rar in the tomtom pda folder.
In this download you wil find TomTom_7.450.9028.cab and 2 versions of TT7_v7.910.9185, black and blue incl. data.chk
After installing TomTom_7.450.9028.cab (or in my case TTN_7.450.9028 VGA.cab) all you have to do is copy the preffered version, black or blue of TomTom Navigator.exe and Data.chk to your device: in the folder (phone or storage memory)\Programmabestanden\Navigator.
Since i have a Dutch device the folder is called Programmabestanden, i don't know how it's called in English.
On my device there is also a folder Program Files, where in my case TT is not installed.
But i think most of you can figure it out yourselfs by know how it works, otherwise your not worthy a PDA.
With TTN 7.450 my HTC could find satellites but it was unable to show me how many it found. GPS receiption was good although. With A-GPS turned OFF.
With TTN 7.910 the problem above is solved, my HTC stil finds satellites and now i can see how many of them there are out there in the sky.
Another nice thing is that now although i installed VGA TT7.450 and replaced it with VGA TT7.910 i can read all text on the screen.
The text is smaller so it fits the screen but still very good readable.
Sincelry,
a big fan of TomTom.
Final solution to this problem !
Disabling AGPS is the cause of the issue we have here.
I've done some testing with AGPS enabled and GPSMode set to 1 and the results are good (quick fix and almost no lag).
Please read my reply on another topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3143383&postcount=17
A cab is attached to it to make the registry changes.
Kind regards.
boring GPS fix lag...
I wonder if all Jade owners are happy w/ their GPS performance..
Despite experiencing many tweaks, it still lags too much..
Any suggestion from the guys are happy w/ it..??

I am quite happy with my GPS performance. However i am using Garmin XT. There is lag, of course but probably by a few ms (a few feet) but it does not make me miss a turn or a junction.

Wrong, 7.450 does support v8.15 maps, but only with keygen v7. don't ask me why, the answer is: because!
7.910 needs keygen v8 for v8.15 maps.

Where could you buy TomTom 7? I have Navigator 6 installed and can't find a way to buy Nav 7.
ok great thx, for all this aswers
could you please make screenshots of your navigation software?
how does it look on a 800x480 screen? resized, black bar, skewed, small icons.. ?
thanks.
There will be a Co-Pilot specific version coming out - http://blog.copilotlive.net/?p=208
I presume v7 works fine, but just doesn't make the most of the resolution.
Guys,
If you have a Navigation program 'successfully' working on your machine could you post it at the topic 'Programs/Utilites & Games ~ working on the Touch HD' here~ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=442663

How did you get the software up and running?
Whenever I try to start the program (installation works fine), it crashes after the starting screen saying the specific resolution can't be loaded/found.
Have you changed the sys.txt in any way?
Where did you get you version from.
Did you try the skin supporting 800x480 resolution?

It wil make my choice very easy then!

Why would HTC make a phone that, on the face of it, seems to have a lot of programs that just won't work, particularly my (ancient) TomTom6. And what about TCMP ? How would I run my videos ? I'm after one as well, but am now a little nervous that it may be false economy.

Me too. I got my Touch HD this morning and tomtom 6 won't even start up. I think part of it is because of the screen resolution of the Touch HD
Garmin Mobile XT 5.00.20wp works fine (have only tried SA March 2008 mapset). So far no obvious problems experienced though I have not extensively tested everything.
I also loaded MobiTrak's HandyMAP Pro PPC V5.2 (Build 1129) with SA and USA maps. The program Handymap2.exe fails when switching maps, and once a map is opened it won't open again (file not found error). A soft reset does not fix this problem.
I tried installed 3 different versions of TomTom 6.01 & 6.03 (I'm licensed) v7.XX (out of desperation I wanted to see if I could get any version running)
Version 6 gives memory access violation.
I sometimes get the TomTom opening in triple tiny view at the top of the screen.
I can't install v7 it says this version is not suitable for this device.
I've spent hours on this and I just can't get it to work. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Can anyone that managed to get TomTom working, tell me how?
Many thanks,

Hi,
Many thanks for trying to help but I've already seen this post and unfortunately it doesn't help. I tried to install the same version 7 but it says something like device not compatible and the earliest version of 6 that I have been able to find was 6.01.
I've spent many hours on the this problem, I've already searched here and all over the web. It looks to me like only a few people have been lucky to get it working.
If I don't get Tomtom working soon then I'll be sending the Touch HD back. I would appreciate any suggestions. I don't know if it's possibly an issue about missing dlls.
Thanks,
ok thats strange, but i cant help you anymore because i dont have any Touch HD.
But i hope for you that someone will help you.

The problem is that Tom Tom6 maps won't work on Tom Tom7. If you have a world wide collection of maps like me, it's going to cost a fortune to buy all new maps.
Has anyone figured out a way to get Tom Tom 6.03 working on the HD? Surely it is a matter of tweaking??
Edit: It's not a matter of Tweaking. I found a 7.450.9028 cab in my archives from another one of my devices. I was surprised to find that this version WILL work with TomTom 6.75 maps but not lower. Fortunately all of my maps were 6.75 so I'm good to go The only thing/problem is the text and keyboard are small.
I've managed to find an old cab file for 6.00 and it worked straight away! It has all my previous maps and POI from the memory card working fine. I can live with using 6.00 instead of 6.30 so long as it's stable/reliable.
Cheers,
Hi Matterhorn!
I hope to be trying this later today. What steps did you take to try to install Tom Tom 6.03 ? I have this from my TyTn II CD and updated my maps a few months ago.
I have Tom Tom home installed on my PC and was hoping to get Tom Tom home to see the Touch HD as a new device and install to it.
I will post here what I find happens with my attempts.

TOMTOM 7
I own realy a Touch Hd. For 3 days now.I've installed Tomtom 7,450 VGA.
It works perfectly and with Gsen even horizontal.
I also didn't notice any GPS lag. So what are those people talkinh about.
I suspect that I the only have an HD in their imagination.
I have version 6.010 and i installed it, i hoped for a working install but it doesn't work at all, boot logo from tomtom is showing after that it's crashing like hell, so i founded somewhere a 6.000 CAB file and that's running perfectly on the Touch HD. very strange to me , normaly should newer version have more compatibility solutions.
TomTom 7.450 works on HD
try to find ttn7 with 12.063 MByte. This version works very fine and I'm surpriced about the GPS speed.

A few people are saying that ttn7 works fine for them. It didn't work for me but maybe I just got a duff cab/version. But as licensed (v6) user with lots of maps and a traffic subscription (the subscription would probably be ok but maps definitely not) I prefer to stick with version 6 for now. Tomtom looks great on the big screen and is quick smooth and reliable so I'm happy. Done some short runs with gsen and all seems good there too.

First a thank you for all the support I found here. Tried to install TomTom 7 on the X1 (legit) with ttn7.cab and TT..repack3, none worked. It starts to install but on the end it shows "unsuccessful". You can open TT, even download also "unsuccessful" a free map, what I do not need. The maps I have are all from TT6, but none is recognzed by TT7. Calling TT does not help they do not support TT7. TT home 2.5 does not see the X1. SE has no idea. I also talked to Navigon in Europe but there is yet not a WM 6.1 compatible version available. Just want my navigation back and working. Can anyone direct me to get it done?
are you using a qvga or vga version of the cab file? i have tomtom7 installed very easy on my x1 and works perfect
also tt7 doesnt support tt6 maps as far as im aware,but tt7 maps everything installed really easy on wm6.1
if you need more help let me know
is it a new purchase? have you had it on a phone before?

Thanks - how did you install it? Was it via TT Home or just download from tomtom.com to PC and manually transfer?
Thanks
1) Use the old TT Home version - 1.5 - this will work !
2) TT 7 works with 6.75 maps - earlier versions not !
Thanks Peter.

Hi Peter, will try what you say to get it done. I used TomTom before on my Ipaq. I must change the "device" in TomTom Home- how? Where can I find on my maps which version they are, they are paid and downloaded. Which version of TT7 are you using? Would be greatif you could help out, thanks anyway

Almost. You can use 95% of the menu's with the trackball and/or keyboard.
Only a few menu's, which usually are only used rarely to configure the device, can't be selected without FakeCursor or SPHelper.
So after setting up TomTom the daily use doesn't require any tools, just the trackball and keyboard!
exactly, what kind of version u use?
The problem i have with my snap is that i cant select another country with keyboard or trackball?
Do you use a specific key for that?

Sorry for the looong delay, I am using the R66 WM version. The only BUG is the GPS setting installed. I discovered, after installing TOM TOM, that the the TT signal bars aren't displayed, even in full reception.

Hi all,
I have been using TOMTOM 7 so far which works well on my Iolite. I saw iGO8 working and it looked quite good, so attempted to install it on mine too. After installation, I have been trying to get it working since yesterday
The installation is always successful. But when I try to launch the application, the curser changes as if the phone is doing something / about to launch the application, but then nothing happens.
I dug out other threads which are about other phones having trouble with iGO8 but did not find a thread about Iolite.
Has any one tried to install iGO on their Iolite / XDA Guide / Touch cruise 09 so far (successfully or unsuccessfully) ??
I would be very grateful if I can get help on this issue please

Try this: edit your sys.txt and compare.
My sys.txt:
[project]
name="igo8_pda"
[folders]
app="%SDCARD%/iGO8"
[interface]
maxzoom2d=6000000
show_exit=1
remember, you have 2 sys.txt, on the SD-Card in "IGO8", and in "\Programs\IGO8". booth must be the same.
Greetings!
Many thanks mirko.prinz,
I will try that.
Is that from an Iolite or a different phone?
I've noticed that Iolite is not in the supported list on iGO website but iGO actually looked so good that I am still determined to get it working.
I will report how it goes later.
Thanks

OK, I tried that, still the same. Seems as if its about to do something, and then nothing
Anything else I should try ?
Many thanks for your help.

Maybe, you have the wrong version? They are PDA and PNA-Versions. What you was buying? What is the version-number?
Mine is iGO 8. Or do you need the exact version number like 8.0.0.335 etc ?
I can check the exact version when I get home, unless you know how to check it in my phone? I have the iGO8 directory and the included files in my phone and can check it now if you can tel lme where to check please?
Thanks.
On the phone only, when it runs. Look at home. Maybe, some versions not running on iolite. My version is 8.3.2.97313 They makes trouble with EZInput 2.1 (makes self many characters "Ä" in the input-line)
OK, try this: backup your IGO-files, then change data.zip and branding.zip from here
http://www.4shared.com/file/153951601/9e4f5553/BRANDING.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/153952106/17d1799b/DATA.html
When it not helps, uninstall IGO, take the files from the unpacked IGO8-fix.zip,
(http://www.4shared.com/file/153952792/c5f37a79/IGO8-fix.html)
put it in your folder named iGO8 of the SD-Card and then reinstall it (autorun from the folder 2577)
Don´t forget, backup your files befor!

Thanks, I wil ltry these fixes when I get home this eve and will report back.

Last night I started to try the changes but got side tracked by the following circumstances !
Firstly I thought I should check the version I have been trying on my Wife’s phone (XDA Orbit 2 / Polaris). So I installed the program, and then added the maps etc. Started the program and it worked flawlessly.
Now the wife was happy and that means I was too. Apart from that I knew that the installation and the maps etc itself have no problems. So it must be that this iGO is just not compatible with Iolite.
Then, I thought I will re-install the program clean, before trying your changes. But this time I tried a different version which is iGo 8.3.4.102680 .
Seems like this is quite different from the other iGO8 version I was trying previously. Unfortunately I never got that version to ever start or even display the splash screen so I don’t know exactly what version it was.
But after installing iGo 8.3.4.102680 on my Iolite, I was nicely surprised when the program actually displayed the initial splash `screen ( as this is the first time I have seen it working on an Iolite). I waited and the program actually started
The problem is, that because I had the old maps from the other version, iGO says that the maps are out of date and need updating.
So for the benefit of others, at least now we (Iolite owners) know that version 8.3.4.102680 definitely works on Iolites (even though the iGO website does not include Iolite in the supported devices).
Unfortunately I don’t have the maps for iGO 8.3.4.102680
mirko.prinz.... If no other development tonight, I will re-install the old version tonight and go through your fixes you mentioned above. Sorri didn’t get a chance last night due to seeing (some) light at the end of a (different) tunnel if you know what I mean
So now I have two versions, one with maps (that doesn’t work on Iolite) and one that works with Iolite (but doesn’t have the maps) !!
So I would be very grateful if someone here could donate the UK maps for testing this version pleeeeez ??????
Unless someone also knows how to use the old maps with the new iGO versions?
When you a little bit understand german, you should look at here

Many thanks mirko.prinz and stdk,
I will check out all your links tonight and will report on how it goes.
Regards,
GB
Hi mirko.prinz and stdk,
Once again thanks for the files and solutions.
I installed the maps to test, and turns out that some how the maps I have are not compatible. After installing the UK maps from stdk (thanks again) the country changed from HUNGARY to the UK (initially I could only see Hungary with my own maps and thats how far it got before I replaced the maps with the above given links).
So finally its all wrking. Thanks to both of you, hopefully I wont get lost again
Next step will be to find out how to back up my own original ROM, so I can test some of the better ones from here
Thank you.

keyboard problem
Dear all,
You are all treating the issue of "Ä" typing characters as you have a workaround for that. I've tried changing the keyboard to the default keyboard of Win 6.1 and had the surprise of being capable of introducing street name, country etc, but when I got back into writing emails I had the ezinput 2.1 keyboard again as default. Opened Igo and started having the same problems with the "Ä" character.
Any other workaround? It's hard to get into registry and change the keyboard each time you want to use Igo instead of SMS or emails, not to mention is not ergonomically to have to switch from one keyboard to another. Is there any other keyboard which works ok both with Igo and any other applications in which occurs writing?
Thanks,
Alex

You can try fingerkeyboard 2.1, i find it a good compromise. It works in igo 8, and is finger friendly...
But ezinput still keeps resetting itself as default!
