thanks for your reply,
tried this but still making the ticking sound when in IGO8.
Looby,
whats basemap? only file that i have in my maps location is unitedkingdom.fbl.
iGo basemap...
You have to have the Igo basemap in your maps as well as Countries. This is what is causing the clicking. You can find it if you search in the right places. Make sure it is either 8.0 or 8.3 depending which version you are using..

Cool, will try to download basemap asap. Would i put this in the maps folder?
Also, would i need a basemap for each map?
thanks
iGO basemap...
Just place it in the same place as your UK map. There is only one Basemap, it covers all of western Europe..
Disable key sounds from iGo.
Settings->Sound->Key Sounds
Please use the search functionality.....
Edit your sys.txt file and add:
[sound]
queue_length=200
ding=0
The line in bold is the one that stops the ticking sound...
iGO Clicking..
It is not the clicking of the keys he is referring to...

exactly.
That's why he should include the setting in the sys.txt that I suggested.
IGO clicking..
Look, the Basemap is an integral part of the functionality of iGO, it links the ferries etc. Changing the sys. txt will do nothing..

Correct - the sys.txt change will stop the annoying DING that is played before every instruction (Ding - turn right into XXXX, ding - at the roundabout take the 3rd exit, ding, ding bl***y ding!!).
Correct - the basmap.fbl is an integral part of iGO8 and must be put into the map folder within content, but i don't know if that is causing the clicking - probably.

tried this, but doesnt stop the clicking sound...
I downloaded a basemap and put it in the maps folder but it still didnt fix the clicking issue... maybe i downloaded the wrong basemap..
Looby, can you please PM me a link to a site that will allow me to download a basemap for version 8.3?
Try adding in your sys.txt the following:
[sound]
mute_os_key=1
Untick Hardware buttons in Settings/Sound&Notifications.It has no use on Blackstone anyway

S.
I had the same problem, iGO8 was 'clicking' like I continously touched the screen.
After deleting the save folder which contains system.ini the problem was solved.
Only thing is that you need to set your preferences again.
So I did that to, as I came upon the Power Management I wanted it to be Backlight always on.
Then the 'clicking' came back?!?!?
After setting it back to Use device settings the clicking was gone?!?!
Now I have iGO8 v8.3.2.93112 installed and with v8.3.2.97313 prior to dis installation it also 'clicks'.
Right away I will try v8.3.2.97313 again but with my save folder and system.ini and only change Power management.
With v.8.3.2.8 and lower i didn't had this problem.
I'll keep ya all informed.
[edit]:
V8.3.2.97313 works also without clicking after modifying the system.ini from the save folder.
[power]
powermgm_state="2"
Works now, when i set it to "0" iGO8 'clicks' again.
Sincerely,
Tom.

That should improve graphics performance but... i have "not used" instead and nothing improves...
And with..

any advice?

gx.dll is used under pna.
You should use GDI on HTC hardware... unless they release some real GLESS code.
Oh, so...
it seems they added the GLESS option without writing the code to use it?
Any rumors if they're actually working on it?
btw thank you!

Hello,
I've got a litte problem with every version of iGO8 on my Touch Pro 2.
The backlight is never on the maximum level.
I always use my phone with maximum backlight but when iGO8 run the backlight is only at 50% even if I set the slider in the options menu to the maximum. It's like iGO8 can't use the maximum backlight of the phone.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks a lot!
My experience is that backlight cannot be done by iGO8. I don't use this setting in the program, but am using Phone weaver to do this for me (volume, backlight, power - all changed when on AC power and no ActiveSync (=in car holder))
Use iGoLuncher to run the app. it solves the problem.

I made a new device in the data.zip; copied the file 'HTC Touch Pro T7272.ini' in config/devices and named it HTC Touch Pro 2.ini.

There are many ways to do this, but I just use Resco Explorer because it's the easiest for me. When you click and hold on an item, you get a menu that allows you to select Send To - Start Menu as Shortcut.

8.0 works fine on my TP2...no sys jack isht needed
On the subject of versions, my sys.txt power section only has 3 lines:
powermgm_state=0
backlight_day=100
Backlight_night=65
How does any of that relate to "max"?
v8.3.4.102680
Right, i make no promises that i can definitely help you as its seems somethings work on one device and not on another. BUT i have IGO set up on my device, working full screen, tts working, everything seems to be working for me, works portrait and landscape (you need to open the keypad BEFORE you start the program)
So.....assuming you'd like to try my fixes...PM me so i can 'help' you.
take it easy people!
whoop, i'm a junior member, but i get so much from everybody else on here i'm hoping i can do my little bit to give something back to you all.

So that's when you create a Q/A Thread, not a private message thread...
Or you could just post your sys.txt, that's generally where igo8 installs are won and lost...
Mine works fine other than landscape appears to be using the wrong resolution directory, haven't bothered to manually fix my sys.txt (just swapped the card in from another device)

Lol. Just reread this, and I think I mighta used up my entire "exactly" quota for the day.
Well I was just about to post that I had this working, but I just found out everytime I open a text input screen it inserts one of the accented A's and keeps doing so over and over... As soon as I work that out I'll post my info.
Ok well this sorta works, you can't use the hardware keyboard apparently, I'll see what I can come up with on that, it does work fine using the IGO built in SIP keyboards as far as I can tell. This setup defaults to always operating in landscape (which frankly is the only way that makes sense to use it to me). I believe if you remove class="landscape" you can pick your orientation in the program, but changing orientation was kinda buggy, so I just stuck with landscape.

BWheezy, tell me if you use Igo8 ver 8.3.4.102680 I dont't think it has installer, you just run it from your sd card, right? Where is located the sys.txt? Is it the one from your SD card, right?

Yes, I have an IGO8 directory on the card and the sys.txt etc is in that directory. You can install it if you rename the .exe to application.dat and use the 2577 folder IIRC, but it's kinda pointless on a phone so I just used the .exe and put the sys.txt in the same folder with it and just create a shortcut into the program list.
is the 8.3.4 version the problem? i use version 8.3.2.97313 it's fullscreen, i can use landscape if i open keyboard before igo and writing with keyboard works ok with no weird symbols or anything

same problem here
Hey guys!
I've got a lot of problems with iGO8.3.4 102680. Successfully solved the "out of memory" issues but this thing is just unstable. It doesn't happen too often but it's a HUGE problem when it hangs when I'm on my way and sometimes it hangs so bad that I actually have to take out the battery. Some funny things happen other times - for example yesterday I was going to some town, and it was possible to choose the town but not the street (it went straight to choose the destination map after choosing the town). Reset wouldn't help, but later on when I got to this town it was possible again. What the hell?
My question is: are u ppl able to get this thing running properly & reliable for days, weeks and months. If yes, I'll kep trying coz I like it. If not please be honest - I need satnav for work and can't waste time for crap that lets u down when u need it the most. Thanks in advance.
eh i want to ask u ppl.
how come when i use the calculator
e.g i press ==> 18.90-10%= it give me 18.80
did i press wrongly?
Yes, that is "correct". "Correct" in quotes because "percent" really just means "one-hundredths", so 10% is exactly equal to 0.1.
Other calculators might decide to interpret it differently, but the operation 18.9 - 10% = 18.8 is still a technically correct answer. You might want to try 18.9 * 90% instead.
omg...
older version of htc is not count like tht.. sigh!
I hadn't noticed until I read your post and tested it, an you're right, it sucks!
But I have the solution, look for mobilecalculator.exe in the \windows folder. Create a shortcut to it in your \windows\Start Menu folder and you're set!
This is the original version that works like normal people expect a calculator to work

Well. I'll be blowed, didn't know it done that!!! Only had the phone a few days
The % was incorrect also; 100-20%=99.8??? How strange
In portrait mode the calculator operates as a business calculator, but in landscape mode it works as a scientific calculator.
To demonstrate this enter the following exactly as written into your calculator in both modes:
3 + 2 * 5
In portrait mode it will give 25 as the result, whereas in scientific mode it will give 13 as the result. Both are correct in context. In scientific mode it will use operand precedence - hence the multiplication will be carried out before the addition if it's not used with parenthesis.
For the OP's original question, the correct result will be obtained if you divide the original sum by the (percentage plus 1) you wish to deduct. e.g for 10% use 1.1 for 17.5% use 1.175 ... and so on.
So to deduct 10% (say as a discount) from 18.90 then type in 18.90 divided by 1.1 to give the result 17.181818r
Conversely to add on a markup multiply the net amount by the percentage value plus one.
Simples!

...am I hearing you correctly?
You're saying the ability of a calculator to do math properly "sucks"?
Are you kidding...REALLY?!
haha just need a calculator which can use the feature we buy from store that kind of calculator.
i dont really own a scientific calculator but i think even a scientific calculator also work this same way
xx - 10% = u get ur ans.
u need to turn ur mobile to landscape u will see more feature

There is another calculator bild in windows. Try TC and find calc.ink in windows folder and copy to "start menu/programs". This prog calculating properly in this way
what is TC?
mate, now I know maths isn't the greatest subject in the states... but all of you?
ok, j/k
2% = the second part out of one hundrer = 0.02... hope this is clear
so if you press 2% and then equals, you'll get 0.02, which is correct
if you try, 100-20%, you will get 99.8, which is correct again. if you want to get 0.8, then you have to use the brackets (100-20)%
and i case you didn't know it yet, what % does is to devide the number to 100... obviously
and since, in the equation 100-20% (which really is 100-20/100), the division has a greater priority, that's the operation that comes first...
