TMC now possible without external hardware - XPERIA X1 General

Hi guys. I just read through the Blackstone-subforums to find some cool new apps and yes, I found something very Interesting.
I'm talking about this Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511838
They made TMC-service without additional hardware possible for the Blackstone and I tested the service on my X1 and it works amazingly with MN7.
Big THX to our "brothers" in the neighbor-subforum!!!

Could you please indicate how you got this working?
Did you have to disable the Media Panel (X-Panel), or did you have an older firmware without this?
If you did have to disable it, how did you do that?
And, it was my understanding Navigon (MN7) only supports GPS with integrated TMC and this mix-driver isn't ready yet.
A step-by-step for the X1 would be really appreciated!
Thanks,
Rowdy

I'm interested in a step-by-step guide too! HyperGPS works fine but I can't activate it in MN7. If I do it manually by editing the XML Port 9: HyperGPS is activated but I can't press the "Traffic/Verkehr"button.

the new media panel should be disabled, because it claims radio exclusivly. There is a reg key which prevents new media panel loading during boot.
with the old media panel, iGO works fine tmc messages.

How are the setting in the MN7 for the tmc?
COM9 with 4800 baud?

whooh, looks pretty amazing!!
But, after running, it doesn't matter wich com port i'm selecting, there all not working!
hoping for a new version..

but WHAT IS TMC ??

TMC means Traffic Message Channel.
It's something like this:

Yes, well, I have searched 'everywhere' but probably on the wrong terms, since I cannot find this registry key.
So, any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

I would also be interested in a solution for MN7, because it doesn't seem to support TMC via COM-port..
How did you get it to work de Wolfe?

Hi. Sorry that I left the thread without any further infos
I almost dispaird of this topic. TMC worked exactly one time and MN7 showed me a traffic jam. But after that any other start of MN7 just let the TMC-driver peg out... After hours of further testing I gave up and took comfort in seeing that the whole project is still just in alpha-status...
Since yesterday my beloved X1 is at the doctor and gets dressed its ugly crack

Hi there people.
I have a Tomtom ONE v2 device.
with my old phone, i would pay a yearly subscription to get the traffic updates. this would work by bluetooth pairing my tomtom with my phone (K800i). tomtom would then get my phone to GPRS data from TOMTOM about where all the traffic issues are..
But when i try to do it with the X1i, although it will see the phone, when i try to access the data and get an update of the traffic, it says: "X1i The required features could not be found for this phone"
.
Any help would be appreciated from you guys out there who may know how to sort this one out?
Traffic updates are important to me
Thanks in advance
Does anyone have any ideas?
surely a phone such as this should integrate with TomTom?
Hi,
I believe this is because Microsoft removed Bluetooth DUN (Dial up networking) from Windows Mobile 6 - This has been replaced with PAN / Internet Connection Sharing.
TomTom currently only support DUN and not PAN
Aparently DUN was removed and the operators were able to add it into their ROM if they wanted to, just not many carriers did..
I have not got the exact threads to hand as im at work and they are bookmarked on my home PC, but if you search this forum (or google) for "Bluetooth DUN WIndows Mobile 6" or "BT DUN Windows Mobile 6" there are some threads which detail some fixes - I think there may be an aditional CAB file and registry tweaks required to get it working...
If you cant find them ill post back on here toinight with the links I found..
Cheers,
Craig
Wow, thanks, I have found a few articles about installing a CAB file
WM6_BT_DUN.cab
Hopefully it is as simple as installing it..I will have to wait till i get home to try this...
You are a star for pointing me in the right direction. Pints are on me!!!
Not a problem
I have been looking at this over the past couple of days, would you mind letting me know how you get on with it and if it works?
Cheers,
Craig
big smiles around here...
it works..
top marks!
thanks
I installed this too just now, but DUN isn't listed in Bluetooth Supported Profiles
what tomtom do you have?

That's irrelevant. DUN should be listed in Windows Mobile before anything is connected.
easy tiger
For me, all i did was install the cab file as mentioned above onto my phone, soft reset, and then tried paring my tomtom to my x1 and it worked.
cab files is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1351044&postcount=21
(for pairing the phone has to have bluetooth on, and is visible to other devices)
comm manager: settings:bluetooth: mode:
The pairing was done from my Tomtom One V2, not from the phone. The phone just accepted the pairing.
On a tangent:
Remember though that using wifi at the same time as bluetooth turns bluetooth off..
but it can be fixed by reading this thread:
[FiX] Bluetooth turning off with MortScript - xda-developers
My X1 also does not show up a DUN profile
comm manager: settings:bluetoothrofiles
but heck, it still works!
Hi, I have followed the instructions and my tomtom go 700 now sees the X1 properly. However I have some questions:
To setup the data connection, what phone do you select in the list on the TomTom? Or what custom settings should we use to connect to the internet from the tomtom using the X1.
Thanks,
Stephane

Route 66

For anyone interested in different satnav options, I can confirm the new Route 66 mobile 8 works really well on the X1. Works great with the wvga res and the UK maps are Q3 2008 which is (I think) more up to date than Tomtom or Copilot 7.
is navigation smoother than tomtom's or iGO's navigation?
Find it pretty smooth. Ive only been using it a few days so havent much experience with routing yet but seems ok. It zooms in when approaching junctions as I believe tomtom does and no gps lag at all that I can detect. I havent tried igo 8. I fancied the 3D mapping but I think I read somewhere it doesnt support full uk postcodes. maybe someone can correct me if thats wrong.
Cool,
I'm thinking of buying it .. But don't now for shure..
I'm using igo8 at the moment, but i miss the speedcam and the traffic info!
Only thing that igo does have is a much better interface, wich is very usefull when driving..
For the dutchies:
Today you can buy it for 40 euro (EU version)

Over time I have used them all.
I've been using iGo8 for some time now. In my opinion the best out there....hands down.3D rendering is excellent.
I recently used it in pedestrian mode to see the sites around Paris...fantastic and accurate.
Plenty of skins to choose from. Dimka Tomsoft is perfect for the Xperia. http://www.tomsoftware.net/default.aspx?pg=bfe66309-2007-4a7b-871d-4dee68e631c1

We have been using TomTom for years, but changed to Route 66 based on the fact that TomTom does not anymore supports only the software. Route 66 does a good job..
Has anyone experiences with the navigon mobile software?
wauw, that are some nice screenshots, how did you get that theme?
And, it's nice to hear that tmc works with that workaround, gonna try it tomorrow!

very cool.
thanks
very nice! I've been looking for this for a while. I'd rather have an independent icon on my taskbar than one replacing the start icon, so this is a great replacement for ArielBattery. Thanks!
Great idea, unfortunately does not work on my HTC Elfin.
Can someone host this somewhere other than ziddu? I can't connect from work (not sure if the site is down or blocked).

Thank you, good sir
awesome! love it.
It doesn't show the number in my P535. The icon is actually changed.
Not working on Samsung i760. Tried both cabs, the numbattery didn't do anything, the QVGA one changed the icon to a solid white one, but no numbers at all. Is there a configuration file to change or something?
Also, it wiped out my background picture of my today screen. Had to set it back up...
does not seem to work on my verizon touch pro
Did not work on my Treo 750 with WM6.0
after installing cab and restarting, I had a second battery icon (that looked like your original from the picture above, vertical lines), but no numbers.
Thanks anyway...
lol... working on polaris... thankfully
Does not work on Samsung Epix (i907).
Why does the thread opener has been banned?
If i´m right, i think he had "stolen" the battery-icon-gauge from another forum-member, and posted it her as his creation.

Great it worked in my TyTn II. Thanks for your effort bro. I am loving it.

Rotation issue

Hello everyone, my name is Nick and this is my first post in this great forum. I have been using the TD2 for some months now and i think it's a really great phone!
The only problem i've come across so far is that the G-Sensor rotates the screen in some applications i'd rather see horizontal like the phone dialer and the Sim Toolkit service. It's really annoying to see the screen rotating when i am talking on the phone because it messes up the screen too!
I've tried many programs like Gyrator 2 or G config but none of them seem to do what i want. I don't want to disable the G sensor of the phone cause it's really useful when browsing or writing messages.
Any ideas of how to solve this? Thanks in advance!
I use Gyrator and disabled everything i don't wan't to be turned, works perfect!
It looks like you didn't set-up Gyrator properly, read the manual carefuly.

When you look in Gyrator Events you will see this list:

Make sure that everyting that you don't wan't to rotate is listed above Rotate.
You can add new events (click and hold on a blanck section) and put them higher in the list by click and hold them and chose Promote.
If you don't know wat you should enter in a event for a non-rotating event just look, by editing (click and hold and chose edit) in a excisting Disable(***) event, i did to.
Good luck!
I tried that too but i just keeps rotating when i turn the device.
I created a new event and checked "Orientation", i named it "Disable (Dialer)" and promoted it above "Rotate". Then i edited it like that: Application=Phone, Orientation=Portrait (or landscape, i tried everything on the list), Actions=Rotate Screen (or nothing checked, i tried both) but it still doesn't work. I even tried disabling the HTC dialer and using the WM one but nothing changed. I'm starting to believe it's haunted!

Bluetooth Gampad BGP 100

Has anyone tried this?
I got out of memory eror when trying to connect, this is obviously not a memeory issue - I also get this error on Fpsece 9.5.
Is this a well known WM6.5 issue or something?
Anyone got a fix
Hey,
i own the BGP100 aswell and i had some problems too. Check the driver ive attached, works very well for me (tested on a Diamond, doesnt work with shipped driver).
I got it from Pocketpc.ch (German language PPC forum). It by the user Black Panther.

Howto
1. click "search"
2. wait (on diamond it takes some time)
3. the dropdown should show the right thing when its done searching
4. click "connect"
5. click "red stream"
Tell me if it works. My HD2 will arrive on Saturday (express )
I got an 'unexpeected error' grrr
Cheapest place to get one from
Ive found this from china... http://www.sourcinggate.com/bgp100-bluetooth-game-pad-for-pda-computer-p-3465.html
If this does work successfully Im onnit and ordering one asap
That is what I have and is the only one of its type available - I'd hold off until someone else can confirm it works.
I'm still having no luck!
Dont order just yet.
The gamepad does not work on the HD2 until someone figures out a way to make the HD2 connect to the gamepad.
Thanks for the software Ben86, it is loading but you click "Search" it just crashes.
Ive just asked black panther on pocketpc.ch if its possible for him to wirte his program for the Hd2. If so ill post it here
btw ... does the HD2 actually fit the BGP100? my guess ... no xD
Has anyone tried the new version that was posted 11/22?
Link - This version does not crash my phone when I hit search, but do not have a gamepad. Can someone confirm the new version works?

It doesn't work. It says it's for a different bluetooth stack.
Sadly it does not work.
It says it is not made for our bluetotth stack and then it gives a .NET error.
Still hoping there is a solution out there somewhere.
Just saw this custom bluetooth software BTExplorer that is compatible with all kinds of bluetooth devices and uses their custom bluetooth stack. Right now they state WinMo 6.5 as coming soon. It is works with the Gamepad in 6.1, there could be hope it would with 6.5. Anyone willing to try with 6.1?
Can can one find BTExplorer to download or buy?
I could not find it anywhere except on their website, and there is no download link.
I have tried looking for a trial, but unable to locate one. Might try using their contact page to see if they have a trial.
