I have HD with TomTom v7.915 (9196) and MS3.
After a phone call the screen doens´t return to TT.
Any ideas how to fix this.
As I tend to use TTN when I'm driving, and hence on a BT headset, I've not seen this problem.
WM is not always that elegant in handling multiple, windowed apps. Once the main phone dialer grabs the screen it doesnt tend to go away again afterwards so you'll probably find TTN is still running but in the background. A quick click on the Task Manager button shoudl bring it back up again.

Mine does normally return to TT7 but as stated above, if it doesn't the window will still be running in the background and can be opened again from task manager

Okay so I think I know at least A solution but I'm hoping that someone here will be able to suggest something besides a hard reset.
I've got a Cingular 8125 a couple of weeks ago. Flashed it to the latest imate rom. I kept it from installing the custom imate stuff but did install some of the Cingular cabs.
Now I'm having a few problems with the phone. It's quite a list.
A) I can't enable wifi at all. At one point I could but the phone locked up on me while I was trying to resetup my connection. I had no choice but to soft reset it. Now I can't enable wifi at all. If I click on it in the comm manager to turn it on it will sit there with the spinning wheel like it's enabling then go back to the same icon with the x on it. I've tried turning flight mode on and off, etc but nothing seems to help it.
B) the phone HAS been locking up. It will just sort of freeze and stop responding. Sometimes I'm able to get to the memory settings in control panel and still have available memory (it's usually been around 16 MB of program memory when this has occured) but even so closing everything will often not help. Even if it unfreezes then it will usually do so not much later and often it just won't unfreeze.
C) sometimes I can't close out the phone application. This seems to happen when Magic Button is running. I click to close it and it goes from the phone to my call history. Closing that goes back to the phone again. I can't get to the Today screen. Pressing the red hangup button would sometimes fix it but usually not.
D) voice command is REALLY wonky using my BT headset (Scala 500). Okay, I know it doesn't officially work with BT headsets and I could live with that. But why does it have to be so damned random?
1) Sometimes pressing the button once will get me the chime. Usually it just gets me a lower pitched tone. If the first press doesn't get it then typically a second within a short time will. Sometimes it takes three though.
2) At one point the phone would usually play my selected ringtone and announce the incoming call over the headset. Other times I would only get the default incoming call sound on the headset and the phone and voice command announcement are over the phone speakers instead. In the last couple of days I've ONLY been getting them from the phone.
3) While typically when I'm using the headset with voice command the feedback DOES come over the headset, sometimes it gives me the confirmations from the phone instead
I think there were a few other flaky issues too but this is the majority of them. Also many of them were present before the rom upgrade so I don't think it's responsible for most of it.
edit: oh, one other thing is that after the ROM upgrade I can't get the default input to stay on anything but keyboard. Even if I change it, I turn around and it's back to keyboard again. I'm thinking, though, that there's a reghack for this?
*bump*

I have the same problem with you. Can anybody help?
any solutions i have the same problem
Try this: back up your PIM, then flash phone back to OEM ROM (cingular, t-mobile, whatever it is for your model). Then unlock it again (if needed), and flash the ROM again. If it's still garbage, try reading the thread for the ROM you loaded (chances are you're not the first to experience this problem, and the other testers of that ROM may offer solutions). If it's still garbage after all that, consider using a different ROM altogether. CRacing's CR86 Touch HD and SVI's ANGEL are both quite nice, and VERY reliable for functionality.
Can TT5 be minimised so it is in the background all the time or do you always have to exit the application?
well i have just tried, and you can press the txt button and it will take you out but when you close it, it goes back to tomtom. So that would be a NO

The problem is not if TT5 (or TT6) can be minimised, it can, but how. A solution is using one or more utilities to map a hardware buttons to the required functions.
In my case (but it is only a sample) I have AE Button Plus (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php) and WisBar Advance (http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/). I mapped a double press of the calendar button to the cascade menu of Wisbar. This menu includes at top an item to show the today screen. Thererefore, when TT runs, the sequence "double press calendar" plus "press down" plus "press enter" has TT minimised in the task bar.
I just press the red end call button when in tomtom and it takes me out to the today screen. The tomtom hands are in the task bar to press when I want to go back into it. I find this works well for me while driving.

This solution doesn't work with TT6.
(But saying that, I'm now not sure!!!) :lol:
I'll edit this accordingly.
I do apologise, it does. Hmmm there was something that didn't!!! :lol:
Pressing the "end call" button works on TT6
It works on my MDA vario

what i do is press the mail button then tap on start---today that minimizes TT6 for me.
Bear in mind, you don't really want TT running in the background constantly, unless you're connected to a power source. The number of times I have accidentally started TomTom as I put my phone in my pocket, only to come back a few hours later and find it's sapped my battery to about 10%, and my phone is roasting hot.
The new version of TomTom starts in about 10 seconds, that's fast enough for me. In fact, I must check if TT6 uses the same "busy loop" programming as TT5, where it constantly uses the processor even when it's doing nothing but display a static screen - I was surprised TomTom sorted out the startup time, I'd be shocked if they'd sorted that out.
I want to keep it running so I get in the habit of turning it on for the speed camera database every time I get in the car.
I have an always on GPS in the car and as long as TT is running each time I walk away and come back it picks up the GPS each time. I know if I have to start TT each time I'll not do it.
Thanks for your help
Didn't anyone read in several post before that by pressing the "end" call button tomtom will minamize? this works perfectly on my mda/qtek WM5.

Look if you find the answer here
runs perfect on BEPE
I had no problem with running on any ROM
using udk diamond 2 and it runs perfect. really nice programm and it allways find more satallits then the tomtom crap.
runs very well for me in any Rom. Bepe, Udk, PDAViet ecc ecc
Runs super fast on POLARIS WM6.1 ROM V20 - Build 19214.1.0.4
However do any of you get that annoying ticking sound - its like a beacon.
I'm not sure if its directly linked to the volume sensor thingy but it still ticks away whether the sensor is on or off.
I have tried all sorts to stop it from ticking to no avail. To explain further when you turn your volume up apart from the key note noise you hear a tick noise - thats the one! it runs constant during igo8 operation.its enough to make you eat your young.
SORTED - BUG i think.
If you have screen tap activated on your device - run igo and see if you can hear the ticking. Its the exact same noise as the screen tap when activated.
I turned of my device screen tap options in device settings turned on igo - now its gone.
I am sure that should not happen, might submit it up to there site.

I had exactly the same problem, but for me the solution was to turn off the hardware keys sound. Thanks for the pointer, its been driving me mad.
Dont know whether tomtom or this rom issue.
When i recive or make a call all goes well tomtom mutes and route comes back on screen.
But when call finishes few secounds later the screen turns off.
I have to swicth screen back on and navigate to running tasks and get tomtom back.
Anyone else having issues. i have tried various tomtom exes and differnat dates of this rom.
currently on the 07/10
Tomtom is 915.9196
I'm using the latest version of Pocketshield and when I get a call come in on my Leo I slide down on the Pocketshield screen to answer only to find the horizontal HTC slider in the background requiring that to be used too for the call to be answered. Now I really have no desire to turn off the HTC dialler and have to use the default Windows Mobile one as it looks frankly dire. So is there a way to have the Pocketshield slider answer a call without having to disable HTC's dialler in the settings?
Cheers.
Solved, just need to select the Phone tab and tick slide to answer. Seems obvious now.
I have just deleted pocketshield from my Leo. It stopped me being able to use the bluetooth in my car despite the settings showing bluetooth as being able to work normally - it either did nothing when I pressed answer on the car or the car thought it was connected ( and started call timer) whilst it actually wasn't.
Also when taking a call on the phone it would sometimes fail to respond to slide to answer (but sometimes did) and often when it failed to answer properly it locked the phone to a blank screen and I had to remove the battery.
I found it very buggy - even at £10 it was a waste of money. If it is relevant, my Leo (HD2) is on UK O2 network and the phone is on original ROM.
1st software I have bought too - damn, that will teach me.

Yes, I also keep the default HTC dialer than WM default and select PocketShield slide to answer setting. HTC dialer will display soon after I slide the PocketShield bar to answer the incoming call but no need to slide the HTC slide answer bar. They just work fine but a little bit aweful. This is why PocketShield already mentioned in the setting page to better choose WM skin.

As well works fine on my HD2 (used with 1.48 and 1.66 ROMs and with a couple of cooked). Must be something wrong with your installation. Why don't you contact them for support?

I use HD2/Pocketshield with my Garmin nuvi bluetooth.
I can answer from nuvi if i am using :
WM dialer OR
HTC dialer without "slide to answer"
But the call is not answered if i use HTC dialer with "slide to answer" even if i press "Answer" on nuvi.I have to answer from the phone itself.
But they have already mentioned that there may be some problems with this setting.
No hanging for me yet and i find the software extremely usefull...
