TomTom 3 on Universal?

Hello
I am thinking of upgrading from my Orange SPVM5000 and just wondered if anyone had got TomTom 3 running on the Universal - as I know it is older software - but it does the job and I don't really want to have to upgrade AND buy new software if possible.
I did a search but could not see if anyone had asked this question before.
Thanks

Just bought my new vario 2

Hi, jus got my new T-mobile Vario 2 , this is my second post and i am sorry to sound like such a noob! Isit possible to connect to my laptop an sync my device via the inbuilt bluetooth on my laptop! also does anyone rate the i-mate jasjam rom? t-mobile one seems ok for now!

Hi @zReAl_uK
I messed around with Active Sync on my Vario II for a while to get it to work. Couple of things I discovered:
1) the ActiveSync version on the T-Mobile CD wouldn't work, I needed to upgrade it to 4.2
2) the Bluetooth sync doesn't sync files - only mail/contacts info, so i actually found the USB connection more straightforward (besides by mail/contacts are always synched using DirectPush)

Struggling with Bluetooth

Hi guys,
Really hoping someone can help me here as getting very frustrated.
First off, I just need to confirm what model of phone I have! It's the MDA Compact II, so I assumed the Charmer, yet does not have WM5 on it, it's WM 2003 SE. Is this still a Charmer...or a Magician?
Originally I had another unit which came direct from TMobile, which had WM5 on it. I lost it. I bought another one off Ebay but it appears to be an older model phone, with WM 2003 SE on it. (Didn't realise this at the time grrrr).
Anyway I bought a Bluetooth dongle the other day to use with my laptop. My only need for it really is to simply transfer files between the laptop and the MDA.
I've installed the software that came with the dongle (Bluesoleil) but I can't see obviously how I am to transfer files. I can pair the devices but they will not connect with each other. Do I need to use FTP? If so, I can see no provision for this on the MDA.
Hayy-elllllp!
Many thanks in advance,
RHF

Hi, the easiest way how to recognize these units is to look at the information about the device (settings - system). The older version (magician) has 416MHz clock of the cpu, newer version (charmer) has only 195MHz clock of the CPU.

It can only be the Magician. There is no Charmer with WM 2003SE and no Magician with WM5.

HTC Touch Pro Hands Free Bluetooth terminating after call

Hello, I just bought my new HTC Touch Pro. I noticed that when I use my bluetooth handsfree it connects with no problems, but after the first telephone call (few seconds after terminating the call) the hands free bluetooth connection drops and the handsfree is left "in the air". I have to shutdown my handsfree bluetooth and restart it to automatically connect to the HTC TP. Next call comes, hang up, bluetooth connection dead again...
Previous phone (ETEN Glofiish X650 never had a problem with my Sony Ericsson BT hands free). Has anyone found any solution?

I have same problem on Polaris after upgrading to Official WWE 6.1

What radio are you using?

Same Problem with Excalibur
Hi juys.
Sorry about wake this thread but i have the same problem with my HTC s620 "Excalibur" when connecting to Nokia car hands free speaker.
Wonder if there is any Solution for this issue
Windows Mobile 6.5 3VOL ROM
Radio 4.1.13.34

I'm sorry to report that this issue is also exhibited with the following headunit and phones:
Head unit: Kenwood DNX8220BT
Phones:
HTC Tytn2 with WM 6.1
HTC Tytn2 with WM 6.5
HTC Touch Diamond with WM 6.1
Sony Ericsson Experia X1 with WM 6.1
A simple dumbphone like the Nokia 6233 will work perfectly but all above WM smartphones are having trouble.

Also HTC S-740

It seems that this issue started since WM 6.1 Does anyone know what changed in the Bluetooth stack?
Microsoft Blames the headunits. Funny thing is that the Kenwood unit is listed on the Bluetooth SIG website which in turn is used by Microsoft as a reference.
On the MS website there are a lot of references to the jetware software but I have tested it without any positive results.
I've seen a post where someone reports that the installation of MS Voice command solved the issue. I will try that on the Tytn2 with WM 6.5
Within a few days I should be receiving the HD2 as well. I'm keeping fingers crossed..

TomTom Nav 5 problems

I'm having real problems gettings TomTom Nav 5 to run on my X1.
I had it running fine on a Touch Pro (UK o2 stock), but the phone had a fault. So did the replacement phone, so I've now ended up with an X1 which as far as I can tell is pretty much the same hardware as the Touch Pro (excet for the screen size, obviously).
On previous HTC phones I've had to manually install TomTom Nav5 from the three cabs in the 2577 directory as the autorun.exe setup would fail. BUT the install worked fine and the software ran fine afterwards.
With the X1, when I run up the software I get a corrupted agreement screen (attached as iagree.png) which stays on screen for about 10-15 seconds, then the Windows Mobile 'there was a problem' screen (attached as problem.png).
This repeats a couple of times after sending the log data, then I'm back to my programmes folder.
Has anyone managed to get Nav 5 to work on the X1?
I know poeple have Nav7 working, but as I bought Nav5 and it worked on the Touch Pro I am loath to spend more money on software which was doing me fine up unutil this phone (I also have a Go910 which I use for most SatNav use, but its handy to have my old Nav5 on my phone for when I don't have the Go with me).
Cheers,
FM

TomTom Navigator 7 works fine on the X1.

As I said, I know TTN 7 works on the X1, but I have a fully paid for version of TTN5.
TTN5 worked fine on my Touch Pro, until the Touch Pro developed a fault. o2 are not able to supply the Touch Pro (Serra) any more in the UK, so I've had to make do with an X1.
I don't want to have to pay for TTN7, and I'd rather not have to go down the route of a cracked version of TTN7 when, as I say, I have a fully legit paid for version of TTN5.
TTN5 worked fine on all of my previous HTC phones, o2 XDA IIs, o2 XDA Mini S, O2 XDA Orbit and the Serra. The Serra being the first of the phones I've had with a VGA screen but TTN5 coping with it perfectly.
Woudl have been nice if TT had offered an upgrade path to TTN7 (or even TTN6), but they chose not to.
Now I'm stuck with a phone that won't run what I've paid for - because of o2 taking 3 months to replace my (Serra) handset with a new one (they failed to repair the firs, then replaced it with a refurb with a different fault!)
TTN5 installs OK, as I say in the first post, but fails to run with not much clue as to what might be causing it.
What are the diffs between the X1 and the Serra other than different screen resolution and aspect ratio, the missing accelerometer and different keyboard and keys layout? From the specs they appear to be very very similar, and the OS is surely the same (or could there be missing dlls from the o2 ROM maybe?)

Same here. For me it was even the guy from the TomTom helpdesk indicating that only TT7 will work on an X1 but that this version is not for sale.
He was very sorry that he could not help me with a legitimate solution...

When did you speak to TomTom? TTN7 is now out and available for WinMo phones.
