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

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.

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

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.
Hi,
I have been using iGo 2006 Plus for a couple of weeks now and keep noticing a weird problem. Every now and again, at some point the screen orientation will go haywire, and the touchscreen will revert to the default (upside down landscape on athena) but the screen will stay the same. I.e. to click the bottom right of the screen I have to tap the top left part of the screen. Anyone else have this issue? It's very weird! At first I thought the device was freezing as I was pressing buttons and nothing was happening, but then I realised the touchscreen and the display had fallen out with each other!

Yep - I've had exactly the same problem - it usually happens when you 'minimise' i-Go to use your PPC and then try to 'maximise' again. The only way around it that I've found is to close i-Go to use PPC and then re-start it again.
Thanks for the reply, I'm gutted it isn't just me - was hoping I'd found a perfect TomTom 6 replacement! Oh well, it's still better than TT6. If anyone knows of a fix, please let us know!
Best replacement I've found is the new and improved 2007 re-packaged iGo software known as MioMap v3.2. Very similar GUI but much improved functionality wise over iGo and it has Speed camera software to boot as well as giving directions (voice guidance) with Miles as opposed to only giving Voice guidance in Kilometers option.
It's got everything iGo has and is built on its platform...it just works better and is far more stable IMHO. Still evaluating it and have no issues as yet. I too had experienced the fore mentioned issue of screen rotation in iGo My Way.
I'm glad I made the switch.
I agree miomap 3.2 seems more stable.
I havnt found a minimize option on it yet,but i only just installed and messed with a few options.

Wait till you take her out for a spin! This app really rocks!! Just wish the GUI was as crisp as on iGo, which truly looked VGA all the way, whereas MioMaps options menu looks more like stretched QVGA
But don't worry peeps, the maps and cockpit look every bit as good as iGo's.
I changed the skin for mio map and found the minimize button,and the UI has improved dramtically.
I used the quicksilver skin from a IGO/MIO fanpage.

Hi johnwalk. Don't know why the link is not working for you. I just tried the link via your quotation of my post and it works perfectly for me using Internet Explorer and Firefox on the PC.....
Just tried through PIE & Opera on the Ameo and no problem there either. Must be some settings in your browser.
sorry i didnt get back to you regarding the skin site(I was at work).
Ive just used mio to navigate home from work and it seems there are still some probs.
1: If I recieve a notification whilst using mio the notification appears in portrait and when i exit mio the screen stays in portrait.(I get the same prob when using igo with wisbar advance active)
2: The gps position on screen cannot keep up even at 30mph.
3: It occasionally doesnt show me the correct position on the map.
4: It occasionally loses gps for a few seconds.
Mackaby! Did you check out the few tweaks they have for the sys.txt on that blogger.xs4all site?
Fair observations of MioMaps shortcomings, but....

Hi again. Yes I've experienced all of the same things you described, but am not majorly put off by it.
To be honest I don't want to read any txt whilst driving, but you make some fair points. As for the occasional loss of signal, I had these issues with TomTom 5 & 6, but not often, but when it happened with TomTom, it really screwed me up. With iGo & MioMap signal re-acquisition is far quicker and hasn't caused me any major gripes as yet, but it is early days.
Yeah I did a few alterations to the sys.txt as instructed, but only to reveal 1 way streets. I didn't want to make too many changes all at once without seeing the initial ones.
Great site though. Thanks.
To be honest, I'm looking forward to the new version of iGo in all its glorious 3D rendering of streets and buildings.
P.S. 2: The gps position on screen cannot keep up even at 30mph. I haven't experienced this yet.
Hi, my friend just got his Samsung Omnia few days ago, and he was showing me a program called Midomi, he put the software on, put his phone next to the radio and after few seconds there was text on the screen - the artist and the song! I didn't even know that sound detection is so advanced that the software can recognize a song from few seconds of hearing it.
i tried to search the web for a install file but couldn't find one, so i was thinking is there anyway to get it work on diamond, since omnia uses wm too and i think that the software doesn't need any superhardware to recognize the music, just a regular cellphone's mic.
im sorry if i put this message to a wrong place, and thanks in advance for any info you might have.
there was a program on here the other day that did the
same thing.dont remember the name but its here if you search.
damn i can't find it... please, anyone... im so lonely, help me

hi!
i'm very interested in music recognition, too. untill now, i've been using musicid, which is quite good. but the only problem is you need an internet conection (wifi, gprs, 3g...) to get a recognition. what i'm dreaming of is a music recognition software, which can record the song to identify, and then LATER identifiy it.
example: you're driving in your car and you're listening to your favorite radio station. you don't have a data plan, so you're not online.
now they're playing a cool song. you just might start the music recognition software, record a few seconds. later, when you're home again, you connect your phone to wifi and let the software identify the recorded song over internet.
musicid can't do this. what about midomi? or do you know another software capable of this?
thanks and have a nice day
Why not just use the built in recorder then play it back when you get access to the net

hmm, sounds a bit uncomfortable, but i'll give it a try when i'm at home.
Hi Mr Pink, I can confirm that Midomi works brilliantly on my HTC Touch Diamond (HTC WWE 2.03 rom) using Wi-Fi internet access.
Try my version on my signature.
No need to modify the registry for HSPA/3G/GPRS.
You can install on Device/Storage Card/Internal Storage/RAMdisk as your choice.

Does anyone geo-tag their HD photos? I can't find a way to enable it in camera settings.
I had to download an app to enable it on my TyTNII.
Can't find anything by searching this forum or Googling
You can enable it with HDTweak, as far as i remember
Brilliant! Thanks
I have enabled the option in HD Tweak, and have even tried Shozu and locr, but even with a GPS lock, it doesn't seem to save the GPS data to the photo.
I'm using the Orange ROM, and don't really want to reflash it just to make this work with the hacked footprints tab, so has anyone got any ideas?
TIA
My problem is GPS doesn't start.
I've been using the free GPSToday (www.geoterrestrial.com) and their GeoTagger plugin which monitors your photo directory. When it sees a new file it tries to get a GPS fix and then embeds the location in the file. So far it's worked flawlessly.
Can you try uploading one of the photos it's tagged too google picasa to see if it can see the gps data and map the piccy please?
So far, these things tell me they are tagging them, but when you upload them, it's not tagged.
locr and shozu both work flawlessly on my N95, so I know the platforms and google picasa work.
I attached a GPS photo taken with my HD (bike trip with my girlfriend ) with the 'GPS-photo' option. I'm absolutly sure it has GPS info in it, because I upload all my pictures to Flickr, where they automaticly show up on the map at the right location. Good luck
*EDIT* When uploading a photo as attacment to the XDA forum, all GPS data is stripped. So here's a direct link to download the original file:
http://www.fittingmedia.nl/divers/GPS_011.jpg
Just tried uploading one of my photos tagged with GPSToday to PicasaWeb and it's recognised the GPS data perfectly. Here's the photo
http://picasaweb.google.com/apcd2apcd2/Desktop?authkey=Gv1sRgCLr5tdy08-bb9wE&feat=directlink
Very simple but you have to edit the registry.
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
and set the value of "Enable" to 1
Thank you'll find a new camera mode in the standard HTC camera program that is "GPS". It activates and deactivates the GPS automatically.
Enjoy
Do you guys want to have gps info on all photos or what? I didn't get the point.
Touch HD Camera has a "GPS Photo" mode..which can be selected manually by going in to "advance" options in the "camera mode" .
right clicking on the image on windowsXP and checking the image property doesn't show the GPS info..but if opened with any other viewer..XNview..lightroom..photoshop.. in EXIF data u can see the GPS info.
so please tell me whats the point of using tweakers to enable GPS tagging? or i'm missing somethig

Not on some stock ROM images, such as mine.
I personally choose to use it because when I share photos online, with things such as Picasa Web, it shows people on a map where the pictures were taken.
No real serious use for me, but it's a little more info for people, and you can also view public galleries and it will display all pictures taken in a certain area.
EDIT: OK I found the option, everywhere I looked and in PM's people were telling me to look in advanced settings for this, it's actually an option on the 2nd page of "Capture Mode" and not in settings, or an advanced tab at all. No wonder I couldn't see it lol.

The tweak is necessary to enable the GPS photo button in the advance tab when using a stock ROM
How long does it take for you to take a photo this way? Mine just says "starting gps" and nothing happens. I even tried waiting 3-4 minutes, the time it takes Garmin XT Mobile to get the gps signal here, but nothing.
i get the point now! i bought blackstone with a diff language than i'm using ..and installed cooked rom straightaway.. so i didn't know the diff(to the minor details) b/w a stock rom and a cooked one. Sorry for taking things as granted!
thnx ppl for the info!

It takes about 10 to 30 seconds, depending on where I'm standing. It indeed should take about the same time as Garmin.
But 3 to 4 minutes is a LONG time for any GPS app to get a fix... If you get that working right, GPS-Photo will probably work fine too.

- Well, offcourse the obvious. Try it outside, with no high buildings etc. around you and that sort of things.
- Then, try to update QuickGPS with new satelite info (makes a lot of difference).
- DISABLE AGps. Does more harm then good.
- Maybe try a different radio. I'm using 1.12 and get very quick GPS fixes. Faster then 1.9 and 1.10.
Let us know how it turns out!
Anyone know any thing new on any effort to port Footprints to Blackstone? all posts are a bit old. there's a standalone that sorta works on Blackstone but the resolution is wrong so text is misaligned and its not very usable. anyone made any headway at porting it to a tab or at least a usable standalone? It would REALLY rock if anyone could port it to an manila v3 tab!!! i'd donate for the effort. sure many would!

I can't do that cause i still don't know how to backup the original radio. I would like to backup everything i need for warranty sake. I posted a thread here, but got no answers. I know it's all been explained here, but it's just too confusing. I know how to backup ROM, but i need to know what else i need to backup an HOW, before i flash a new radio and ROM.
The current device info is:

I did all you said, and nothing helped. However, i did notice this - i started Garmin, got a lock in a matter of seconds (after i did the fast GPS thing, so i'm guessing Garmin is using that), turned it off and geotagging worked instantly. So, i'm guessing camera has a problem using quick GPS or starting GPS by itself. Any ideas on this?
Hello all,
bought Snap recently and enjoying it a lot, however there are some questions I was unable to find answers for. Could you guys please advise:
Why there's no ClearType (font antialiasing) turned on by default as on my HTC Vox (s710) - how can I turn it on?
REALLY annoying - unread emails and SMS are not displayed in bold! Is there a way to turn this on via registry/smth?
Major for me - I need Russian and Spanish input languages - how can I install them? I've installed some of found .cabs but they are likely for different phones as they mess up special buttons layout;
When I receive SMS, my screen does not lighten unlike on my Vox, is there a way to change it?
I was unable to get my GPS to work. Is there a way to test it not using Google maps to understand 100% if it's just faulty GPS module?
I can't get ActiveSync USB to PC mode to work under Windows 7 - it works only after I change it to DataTransfer mode. Is it a common issue?
I would be really grateful if the group can help with at least some of the questions. Thanks in advance!
OK, I found the Clear Type registry hack but the rest of the issues still remain. Can you advise on the rest of the list, please?
Thank you.
sorry wrong post
Anybody? I can't believe there are no experts using the phone.
Hi,
First of all, I am no expert, but I can indicate you that :
- My unread messages are displayed in bold, so you got to have an option to set.
- In the profile settings, you can set the type of alarm you want for each type of message ; screen light could be one of them
- you have plenty of programs that use a GPS ; look up any WinMo GPS app on this forum, it doesn't have to be designed for the Snap (any QVGA version will do). Try this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522915&page=3
I guess you could you a free app, for instance Bing Maps, to test you GPS receiver.
Sync under 7 : if it does work at the en of the day, what's your problem ?
I use tomtom for GPS, works great.
Hi there, i've found a few programs that are free for GPS. I tinker with them, when I question if mine is working and one is jst a must have program. They are; QuickGPS, WMMiniGPS, HTC GPS Tool, GPS Test, and GPS Nut. Like I said they're all free programs and QuickGPS, is probably on you ROM.
Good Luck
