When you go into the "Change Preferences" menu in TomTom and change one of the settings which can be turned on/off i.e. say 3d map, show/hide POI - TomTom takes you back to the main screen.
This is REALLY frustrating since if you want to make several changes you have to go through the whole process of:
1. Tap screen to get into Main Menu
2. Tap on "Change Preferences"
3. Tap to change relevant option
... for every single setting you want to change.
I have an O2 XDA EXEC and have seen this behaviour on both Version 5.0 and 5.21. I dont remember seeing this when I was running TomTom on my XDAIIi.
Anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix?
It's how TomTom v.5 works!
TomTom Navigator v.5 is just a half-hearted *bodge* on the code for their standalone TomTom Go products to get it to run on PocketPCs.
Due to long trying and experimenting with my bt gps i lost my shortcut of TT 5 on my today page. Is there anyone who can tell me how to put it back on, beaucouse when i want to start tt5 it's almost impossible to navigate the start menu with my fingertips.
I've allready tried to fix the problem with "settings/today/items", but Tomtom wasn't in the list anymore.
TT 5 starts perfectly from my startmenu, but i want my shortcut back.
Is there anyway who can tell me to solve this :?:
I've got a vario, and am currently running tomtom Nav5.21 on my ipaq, once i get hold of a bluetooth antenna, tomtom will be going on the vario.
This is not an uncommon problem with tomtom. There are however 2 ways arround your problem.
First way is to download the v5.21 patch from the tomtom website and re-install the .cab file, this will mean that tomtom is brought back to its origional settings. And the shortcut will re-appear on the screen.
If you have in any way customised the settings, you may have to set them up again (for example if you are familiar with tomtom, you'll have to turn off the guided tour stuff.) However things like any stored favorites or POI's will be unaffected by doing this, and will show up just like they did before.
The otherway is to go into start > settings > Personal > Buttons. From there you can re-assign one of the buttons to always start up tomtom, or indeed any application you want.
For example on my vario, button 5 is the Comm manager that allows me to turn on and off the wifi / bluetooth. As there is already a little icon at the bottom of the today screen that opens the comm manager I'll be reassigning the button to start TomTom.
In the TTN 5.1 update package are (if i remember correct) 3 cab files. One is just the Today plugin, you can tell it by its name
From TTN 5.21 onwards the plugin is IN the main cab, so you cant use this trick with that one.
the Todayplugin is the same for both versions
Alternatively you can use the HTCTODAY plugin i have modified (in 3 flavours) search on the forum.
Code:
use the HTCTODAY plugin
Searched for that, and this is the only post found.
I have a Orange SPV M3100 (tytn)
just got it 2nd hand. it works nicely, but everytime after a few hours of not using it. when i try to use it again, the 2 buttons that's suppose to press the softbuttons don't work.
To get them working again, i have to reset my thing.
The softbuttons themselves still work. I can click on the 2 things and my file explorer / contacts show up. But the physical buttons that's suppose to press those 2 things don't for some reason.
Any ideas?
Softkeys not working
I've had similar issues. It has happened a few times actually. Now when I install a new rom I place short cuts in my window\startmenu\ accessories or system files folder depending on the application i try to shortcut. Just locate the actual exe file for the program copy it and go to the windows folder you want it in and hold stylus and hold and paste short cut then rename as you wish. it wll now show up in your programs folders on you menus. or use advance configurations 1.0 from Shaps it works very well. There is also a softkey app in the forum that works well also.
Hi all,
I was wondering if it is possible to force tomtom navigator to always open in landscape mode.
I've been using gyrator2, but when i mounted in the car, the screen seems to jump around unsure of which way to orient, most probably due to vibration in the mount (which is another issue i'm going to address).
I've seen the same thing happen with GSen.
Just add TTN to the list of excluded applications and rotate the screen manually where necessary.

1. Install "Mortscript"
2. Run TomTom270 (Edit this file with notepad, change the value from 270 to 90 if you want it to turn other direction landscape)
3. Create a shortcut in Start Menu if you want.
NOTE: Don't forget to DISABLE it from any rotating application if you have added e.g. Gyrator etc.

Copy both the file to your device
A. MortScript 4.1
B. Just One of the MSCR file which ever direction & popup or No-Popup suits you.
After the installation of MORTSCRIPT just run "TomTom2.mscr".
You can also make a shortcut under Tf3D Programs tab:
1. Copy a SHORTCUT of the TomTom270.mscr file to (\Windows\Start Menu\Programs)
2. Remove the NORMAL TomTom icon from the "Programs Tab" (Optional)
3. Add "TomTom270" to "Programs Tab"
I have uploaded again:
1. Mortscript 4.1
2. Start TomTom 270-degree with a Rotate question Yes,No,Cancel (It will ask you the question everytime you run this file)
3. Just Start TomTom 270-degree withOUT a Rotate question
4. Start TomTom 90-degree with a Rotate question Yes,No,Cancel (It will ask you the question everytime you run this file)
5. Just Start TomTom 90-degree withOUT a Rotate question

Hi, I have a Touch HD and when I try and run the script it rotates for a second and then rotates back to Portrait view.
You said that you were using gyrator2.
I'm a gyrator2 newbie, but I created a TomTom orientation Event, mark landscape and rotate screen.
I don't know why TomTom don't start at landscape after that, you once you put the phone on landscape once, inside TomTom, it never changes anymore. So it will work for you.

i prefer changescreen absoluting the best soft for turning apps.....
never had problem...

Same with me, doesn't attempt to load TomTom, just switches Programs screen to landscape for a second or so, then switches back
Thanks guys works great!
...although I had the same issue with my HTC Touch HD, simple fix just edit the tomtom7.mscr file you created and correct the path, which should do the trick!
ie.
Rotate(270)
Runwait( "\Program Files\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe" )
Rotate(0)
Works for HD2!!!
Works for my HD2 as well, you just need to edit tomtom7.mscr and correct the file path, for me it looks like:
Rotate(270)
Runwait( "\Storage Card\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe" )
Rotate(0)
Hello everyone,
I have mapped Button2 to manually trigger screen rotation (done by SKTools, however key HideOrientationUi = 0). Done soft reset and that button is working, but auto rotation is still rotating my screen as well. I have tried to modify hklm\Software\Autorotation and key "disable" set to 1, but it did not help (after soft reset that value changed back to 0).
Could someone suggest how to proceed in order to get rid of auto-rotation?
btw. I am running on winmo 6.5.x
Thank you in advance.
Try using PHM Regedit.
Go to HKLM/Software/AutoRotation.
There you have all aplications that rotate automatically. You can remove them.
OR
Just open the file explorer, go to /Windows/startup folder and delete autorotation.lnk.
I have noticed that if Opera is running in the background everything starts rotating automaticailly but stops once opera is closed.
Yep, Opera is the culprit. There's no fix for it aside from closing it every time or switching to IE.
