XDA Mini S wont load TOMTOM 5.21

New to the forum, been reading a lot of the posts over past week or so, I hope some of you knowledgable types out there can help me beacuse I am close to suicide here!
I have an o2 XDA Mini s, have had it for about 3 months now, originally had tomtom 5 installed and working with my bluetooth gps no bother, everything was all ok, however over last weekend I had to hard reset the xda and since then when I install tomtom it goes theru the first setup procdure, you get to select a voice, you test the voice, slect next and nothing happens, at one point it was left on this screen for 30 mins, it appears as if the xda has crashed, however if I press the hang up key the tomtom screen disappears and takes me back to the main screen and lets me use the xda again no bother, but the small tomtom hands are still visible int eh bottom right corner.
I have tried everything, I upgraded to tomtom 5.21 from the tomtom site, I removed all the celeb voices i had in case maybe they were faulty, I have reinstalled about 6 times, even trying an install disk I got from a colleague but nothing seems to work.
Please help me before I throw myself off the nearest bridge.
Many thanks for any help.
p.s I do not install from a CD I install via the 5.21 exe from the tomtom wesbsite.
cheers again

yes - I had this problem too..... its down to the checking of running signed code - basically its waiting for you to ok the next bit.
There is a tweak program recently in the forums (registry tweaker?) that on the third tab has a way of disabling the signed code popup

Actually its the "easy tweaking thread" ...

Hi
cheers for the replies
are you talking about the registry wizard by nico thats mentioned in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...=0&postorder=asc&highlight=tweaking&start=150
Just wanted to double check before i go installing uit to the xda mini s
cheers again

thats it.....
you do have a Wizard? im not sure what the mini s is

how can i find out exactly?
sorry to ask so many questions but i'm pretty new to using the XDA's
cheers again

ok found it it is a wizard, found a bit of info on a site somewhere.
anyway, i have installed the registry wizard, i have ticked the box on the third tab called "disable security warning non cert. app"
reinstalled tomtom, but i am still getting the same problem......as soon as i press select to confim selection of the jane voice it just stops, nowt happens.
any help greatly appreciated
cheers

quick update, I managed to get the tomtom to load, managed to pair the bluetooth gps, everything runs great now....except there are no sounds in tomtom whatsoever, the voices etc are there and can be selected but when I press test, nothing, there is also no sound for the poi either, can anyone shed any light on this problem
cheers
p.s all other sounds in the actual xda itself are working ok, so it must be a tomtom problem somewhere.

***SORTED***
U have to install tom tom and the maps voices etc, then go into tomtom, select the voice, then it asks you to activate, at this point exit out of tomtom, now copy the already activated tomtom.exe file over to the program files/navigator folder, overwrite the one thats there and hey presto tomtom now fully working.

thanks man!
what abouit igo 2008. r u using it ? mine still cannot detect satelites

I'm sorry to say we don’t have igo 8 yet
any way I cannot say I have tried it myself
but from what I have heard if you go to your device program file/igo 8 you will find a sys.txt
add these lines to what you already have there in the txt using your home pc then the program will work
pleas note that you need to have one line blank before adding
[gps]
port=6
baud=57600
set_messages=0
pleas edit the text and report
good luck

I’m happy to here about your results

hmm I managed to start it jsut 2 times (igo2008) -> i mean the gps signal
from that time on, it stopped detectig sattelites
it's so stupid. I will try for a change with igo2006 and keep u updated.
are there any twaks that I can make to work better with my GPS/ sattelites as I don;'t have quick gps ?
can I get quick gps and install/configure from a another WM6 device ? (a friend has here a HTC touch cruise, everything works fine for him with quick gps+igo2008 )
and, can I make registry tweaking or smf, so that everytime I write sms, I automaticlly have : ABC instead of T9 ?
thanks!

if i-go 8 has problems with identifying the gps you didn't follow my instructions correctly
good luck

maybe also hard reset the device and install everything again
thanks for your hlp !
...tried it yet
still nothig. I start to think that the problem is the space that I have outside the office. maybe its causing not to find the sattelites.
do you know what settings I need to have, in SETTINGS > EXTERNAL GPS ?
thanks!

2 problems with my HD --> GPS, Opera

Hi,
I have a Touch HD since a couple of weeks now but there are two problems that I can't seem to solve. Maybe there are some smart people that can help me with this. (I tried searching the forum first, but can;t find the answers)
1. I have TomTom7 and Igo8 installed and the first 2 weeks they worked like a charm. Now however I get a GPS fix for a couple of seconds, then after a couple of seconds it's completely gone again for it ony to return again after yet another couple of seconds. This repeats over and over making the apps useless for navigation. I tried a soft reset but it didn't work. Also I have this problem with both TT7 as Igo8 so I think it has something to do with the internal GPS receiver. Anyone any bright ideas??
2. I'm pleased with the performance of the Opera browser but lately I come across more and more sites that don't perform well. In most cases I can't log in or I can't use the search function. Some examples:
- hotmail.com --> SMS tab does retreive my mail but my GF can't log in at her hotmail account when she goes to hotmail.com directly
- NBA.com --> hugh NBA fan but is doesn't show well
- moviemeter.nl --> Dutch IMDB so to speak, can't use search function
- Partybets.com --> like sports betting but can't log in
- hyves.nl --> Dutch facebook, can't log in
Can you guys surf these pages correctly? What can I do to get a better performance out of sites that require login or have search functions or is it impossible to get these working on a WM device??
Thanks really much just for reading this cuz it's somewhat of a long question! Any help is appreciated!
Kind regards

Wow...over 60 reads but noone knows the answers. There goes my hope that these problems were easy to fix

i think i have the sort of same problem as you are on opera, did you install the adobeflash plugin? friend of mine , he installed the adobeflash plugin and the flash on the sit works , but mine doesnt donnt why , and i tried to post but no one answered:<

Use Advanced Config to turn AGPS off. I used to have it off and everything worked perfectly until I decided to see what it does. Then it would loose the GPS signal every 2 seconds and when it got a fix it would put me in the sea at 1km depth

Haha
I'll try turning A-GPS off and see what that does!! Hopefully this will work!
Does anyone have an answer for my problems with opera or is anyone that can check the above sites i mentioned and use search or login function to see how they'll look on your HD??

Yes, I had the same issue with the GPS a couple months back, and turning off AGPS should fix your problem. As for opera, no browser is perfect but I would reccomend trying skyfire (it will load anysite always and completely).

Try HD radio 1.13.25.24, tt7 works fine with AGPS using this radio (without starting any other GPS-using program). Cold fix < 5-10 sec

How about changing the settings of Opera.
Try to get to the settings when you opened a opera screen.
Turn OFF the "mobiele weergave" option ("Mobile view" in an english version of Opera).
Then you should enable "Javascript" underneath the advanced tab.
Try things like Hyves and Hotmail again.
Hope that works for ya.

External GPS settings please

I have a rhodium and every time i try to get a navigation program working it cant find the gps receiver, I have tried changing the external gps settings but, im not sure what im changing them to.

make sure the settings in your navi programs match your settings in external gps settings

[Q] Tomtom 7 voices help!

Hi all, I have installed TomTom 7.916.9189 on my TP2 unbranded and stock rom. It seems to work fine so far. I had a few issues like the BTrace.exe error and an uinable to start not enough memory error however I have fixed those.
My problem is that I have downloaded a voice to put on and I copied the relevent files to the relevent place but the voice either doesn't show up on the voices list or it does and when I select it; it tells me that I have not selected a valid voice (or something along those lines). I dont understand what the problem is.
Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance all help is appreciated.

hi IllusiaX,
well you have to keep the voices in "VOICES" folder in storage card...
every voices has 2 files: 1 DATA0X.CHK 2 DATA0X.VIF
if you lose one of them the voice doesn't works...

Tom Tom 7 Voice Help
Would you please post instructions on how to install Tom Tom 7 on tp2? Thanks.

Run the cab - easy to find - and then buy the maps.

Thanks for the reply, I have the voice files in the right folder. It's just odd that it doesn't show up and when it does tom tom says its not a valid voice. I'll keep trying

Am I the only one who has really bad lag on Tomtom on a TP2 ?

you mean TT showing you about 250 feet behind where you really are on the road? Nope. My unit is constantly telling me to turn left or turn right about 50 feet past an intersection.
I've tried following some of the regedits and other tips people have posted in various forums, but it's never quite resolved it for me.
I've just gotten accustomed to it and try to read the next direction ahead instead of relying on the voice and image.
