Hi,
I am a happy Sygic MM09 user. When using Sygic I cannot seem to make a call when Sygic is active by just pressing the Green/call button.
This is what I do now:
When navigating I press the Home button. Then I can make a call but Sygic doesn't always skip back to the navigation screen. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I am still using the standard Rom that came with the phone.
What are your thoughts on this? Is this the only way to make a call?

Hi to all just like to ask how do i make voice dial calls when the xda executive flip cover is closed i tried andd it did not work
you need to have at least one entry in Voice speed dial, and should not have the buttons locked. (which is a bit dangerous since there are a lt of buttons to be pressed inadvertedly..)
Alternatively, use the BT headset call/end button to launch the voice speed dial. Obviously BT needs to be on (blue LED flashing)
Hi lutz
I thought the same but even with the buttons not locked it doesn't work on mine. Still keep having to open the lid an inch or so :x
Can anyone confirm if it should definately work with the buttons enabled (start, settings, buttons, lock, do not lock buttons)
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.

Hello,
I'd like to use my HD with Tomtom on my motorbike (HD in the pocket, navigation instructions over to my Sony bluetooth headset).
Trouble is, of course, that in my pocket, the screen is pressed and Tomtom exits.
Is there a way to launch Tomtom and then lock the screen before putting it in my pocket ?
Thanks !
same problem here.

I'm using Navigon on my HD and after locking the screen (press and hold the end key), the Navigon just continues to give driving instructions. Wouldn't that work with TomTom?
locking
Problem I believe is once tomtom looses focus then it stops working. Need to lock it while staying focused on the tomtom screen.
Also if the tomtom looses focus then the phone goes to sleep after period X

It doesn't : Tomtom keeps working in the background but no instructions coming through =(
There are two ways to lock the device while continue to run TomTom (with the instructions):
1) Press Today button, then lock the device in normal way;
2) Install Gyrator2. With the default settings it will lock your device when inseting stylos back to device.
First solution doesn't work for me : the instructions remain when i press the today button but are cut as soon as i lock the device with a long press on the bottom right button or with the on/off button at the top of the device
Will give a try to gyrator
works perfectly with gyrator2 !
Thanks a lot
Gyrator
Only problem is with gyrator is the device goes to sleep after a little while. I think it is because the unlock function is in the foreground. Tomtom is still active but sleeps after a little while.
Would be good is gyrator then made tomtom the foreground app again once locked.
Just go to the power options and untick the boxes !
Is it possible to continue viewing gps map:
1. during answering to a phone call?
2. shortly after answering to a phone call, when still talking on the phone?
3. and initiating a phone call?
4. (if the answer to no. 3 is yes) shortly after initiating a phone call, when still talking on the phone?
1 is not possible - the dialer shows up above all other windows.
3 - how can you initiate a phone call without a dialer?
2 and 4 are easy - just press the Back button and you will return to your SatNav app.

Hi!
I've experienced this problem on a variety of Manila ROMs (Rafyvitto, Arto, UFE).
(I don't know if it's an issue with non-Manila ROMs as I haven't tried them)
(Since it's not related to a specific ROM, I'm posting here than in the particular ROM threads)
When I press the call button, it almost always starts redialling the last number.
What I would like it to do (and what I think should be the default) is to go the phone screen (same as pressing phone softbutton on Manila Home) - and give you an option to dial a number...
Does anyone else have this trigger happy call button?
Any suggestion for fixes?
Thanks

it's a known problem with the htc phone canvas in our device.
You can use ae button plus and assign the call button to take you to the phone screen. It works fine like that

Conflicts with bluetooth headset

Seems like I was a bit hasty here... it works fine with the keyboard, but the remapping also affects my bluetooth headset - with this setting, I can't answer a call by pressing the button on my bluetooth headset (because it is interpreted to run phone app rather than answer the call).
I mainly use bluetooth headset when driving, so it kind of defeats the point if I have to pick up the phone to answer the call...
any ideas... please....??
