Interesting that it says:
"TomTom NAVIGATOR is now compatible with Microsoft Windows™ MOBILE 5.0 devices. See the compatibility list for more information."
And when you go to the list there are no WM5 devices in there :shock:
...but it works :wink:
btw, you don't need to have TT 5 already installed on the system ...just install this verison (5.21) and create a "Voices" directory with your voices files in the root of the ppc ...that's all

Does that mean you have to register this update with TomTom to prove you're a legitimate user? I guess so.
Still waiting for an official (tested and accepted ) update before I upgrade my legit v3 to a legit v5. (Currently running a cracked version cos I'm not happy that TT5 is working properly on WM5, or even that TT5 is the best solution any more :roll: )

Does that mean you can do it on the storage card: "My Device\Storage Card\Voices"; or does it have to be on the "PPC: My Device\Voices" ???

I have it on \Voices ...dunno if it works on the SD too
So what is different about this version. Or should I say what is fixed in this version? Does it keep the screen in the current screen mode (i.e. VGA or does it reset the screen to it's own bidged semi VGA size).

version 5.210 (5430) ...but i did a clean install
OK this is strange and i need some help....
i installed the app in my sd card...
i made the "Voices" folder in the root of the ppc...
and i runed the app BUT (this is the strange part)...
i am still in the preferences screen as after i press the screen to choose a preference i can only get to the next step by pressing the button with the red telephone and then maximizing the app again from spb. the moment i press the red button i can see tom tom proceeing to the next screen and then the app minimizes.
any ideas on this?
thanx
So it's not all good news then. Does this mean that TomTom's 5.2 release isn't quite ready for WM5 after all? Can anybody comment on differences in performance between 5.1 and 5.2? Does the screen still redraw slowly?
well it might be my mistake or something but...
so what about the rest of you? has anybody tested it? how did you installed it?
I did a full install on to the Exec, direct from the TT site download. I had hard reset the phone first, yes you do need to add a voices folder in the root of the SD card, but otherwise it all works fine - you can use the data.chk file from 5,1 if you like the real voice warnings, the only thing you can't use is the POIExtend software (yet) Mike
Downloaded the zip file from TT site unzipped it and ran it, it uninstalled Ver 5.1 for me the reinstalled 5.2 somewhere along the way it requested a soft boot.
It all appears to function. However I have not had chance to test it in anger.
I previously had TTNav 5.1 (plus maps, voices, POIs) installed and running succesfully from SD-card.
Installed v.5.21 update, which said it would remove the previous version whilst installing and gave me a choice of location for only one of the .CABs. Afterwards I discovered 4MB of main/device storage had gone missing, so checked and found that the new version had now installed itself into device storage and the old version 5.1 was still in SD-Card. Upon checking the registry I found all the entries still pointed to the old version in SD-card. Tried installing again, same result. Uninstalled and installed again, same result.
Decided "what the hell", moved all the new version files to the SD-card locations, modified the program menu shortcut to start TTN from SD-card, removed their "stupid" Today-plug-in, and fired it up. Now working again from SD-card, and have 4MB of device storage back!
As mentioned before, I feel TomTom have totally lost their way roll with PDA navigation. TTNav5 is just a bodge on their stand-alone TT-Go product code to get it more or less to run on a PDA.
I think it's been observed elsewhere that Tomtom seem to be writing a standard application that will work across all their supported platforms. This is cheaper and easier to support but is frustrating for power users.
I am now using Navigator 5 in addition to Mapopolis, and I find the delay in connecting to my Bluetooth GPS (GlobalSat BT338) very annoying. There is nowhere to specify baud rate and I am sure that Tomtom every time is scanning the range to find the GPS, it takes so long.
This makes TT fairly idiot-proof and user-friendly, but at the expense of the more technically minded. Of course, supporting technical options ties it closer to the particular operating system, which is probably what they are trying to avoid doing...
Hi all,..
when I use the update from the TT website, and installed it is asks vor an registration code, the activation code...
does anyone alse have this problem?

Anyone having any issues with Windows Mobile Marketplace this morning? It may just be an issue with flashed ROMs. Mine was running fine yesterday afternoon but last night I tried to kick it off and it said there was an update available and it would try to download it. It gets to the same point every time(about 85%) and says that Windows Marketplace cannot connect right now. I know I don't have any connection issues. Still doing the same thing for me this morning.
I did the registry hack a little while back to change the version to .5.3.00 or something like that and it worked fine.
Anyone have any problems with it, or is it working for anyone with a cooked ROM?
Yup I'm getting the same message. I'm on unbranded UK Touch pro2 using stock 6.5. I've also got a CAB installed that allows me to save apps on my SD card. don't know if that might nake a difference.
At least I know I'm not alone I wonder what the fix is...
i was getting that same error and uninstalled marketplace and used this cab. everything is back to normal now

Ok, for those who are getting the "Windows Marketplace for Mobile cannot connect right now. Try again later." I have been able to duplicate the error occurring w/ the hacked version of Marketplace that comes from XDA which allows storage to SD card.
After un-installing hacked version & replacing w/ default Marketplace software, it updates properly now. I uninstalled default version and re-installed hacked version I got the error message again. I finally un-installed hacked version again and re-installed default version and now everything is working again.
Hope this helps!
BTW, I have 6.1 on T-Mo TP2.
Yeah i have the same problem... I uninstall marketplace then reinstall the stock marketplace and it works fine, then install the hack version that allows SD card saves and get error message...... still no luck with hacked version.......
same thing here. but i've come to the conclusion that marketplaces sucks anyhow. and if i cant download to my sd card that i DON"T want it on my phone. so till xda comes up with a new verison for the sd card i will not put it on my phone
it driving me crazy i just cant get marketplace to connect..
after i updated my rom to windows 6.5 official t-mobile UK ..
i have tried changing the registry like says in the forum but still doesnt work..
i have tried the hacked version and the official and still will not work.
the hacked version says needs to update and while updateing just shutsdown..
any help will be great thanks..
I've used a fair few of this version: 7.918.9193 VGA and for each of them it installs ok but when using the program it will crash and reboot the phone anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes in.
I've deleted the Navigator folders before the next install and yet it still it crashes!
Any ideas? I only bought the phone cos I love TomTom! I'd be happy with an earlier version if needs be - I only need traffic and speed cams (which I have a subscription to) and I've called TomTom support so when I have the program stable I can hook them up through TomTom home.
Desperate for help here!
Cheers,

First of all what ROM & RADIO are you using? What other software is installed? It may be unlikely that these are the causes, but you never know.
Is TT7 installed on the phone or the SD card?
Have you ever had it running without a problem?
Have you tried redownloading TT7 from another source?
Have you tried a hard reset and then installing TT7?
Have you tried earlier versions of TT7 (ie 916 and the 917)?
Hi,
I've replied to the questions in line below in case it yields any ideas.
Two things also I'm wondering is:
1. Is it best to have it installed on main memory or SD?
2. I hear a lot about the quality and speed of SD card affecting the lag/performance of TT. What's the recommended size/speed/brand for an SD?
Cheers,
Joe

First of all what ROM & RADIO are you using? - Latest ROM from HTC - _HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
What other software is installed? It may be unlikely that these are the causes, but you never know. - Nothing at all, fresh flash
Is TT7 installed on the phone or the SD card? - Currently on SD card, but have had it on both.
Have you ever had it running without a problem? - Yes, temporarily yesterday (I only got the phone yesterday). I flashed with the above, installed TT, got my maps working (I've transferred them from my old Xperia X1) then tried tweaking the bif files and read only flags on it to make my traffic/cams subscription work - possible point of failure here but this technique worked well on the old versions of TT I used with the Xperia X1. If TT has introduced code changes which are deep then perhaps this caused the crashes/reboots?
Have you tried redownloading TT7 from another source? Yes, many flavours of the version being used. Some with the extra BT files, but on last install (which has been working for 30mins now) I used the version with the BT files removed.
Have you tried a hard reset and then installing TT7? Yes, reflashed last night and then used TT without BT files.
Have you tried earlier versions of TT7 (ie 916 and the 917)? Yes last night before the reflashing I tried a few versions all with the same effect.

Just to add that it crashed again, so whilst I wait for some advice from the forum members I've stripped back the map folder to not include traffic.dat and speed cam folders, uninstalled and reinstalled to main memory.
It asked if I wanted to set home location etc so it looks like a "proper" clean install this time, will let it run and see how it goes.
Sorry, I seem to be starting lots of question threads but it is because I've spent a week with Android and can't find the answers anywhere.
Problem 1: Copilot running and I get a phone call (bluetooth headset), end the call and then Copilot shows "GPS lost" or something similar, but does not do anything. It responds to touch menu selections but does not actually do anything. I can exit Copilot normally but the GPS icon stays at the top of the screen, not functioning. I get a similar situation if I try and do anything with the phone with Copilot running in the background - Copilot (or at least GPS) ceases to function. Only solution is to turn phone off and on which leads to...
Problem 2hone freezes at MAGLDR "Go Go Go" stage. Running MAGLDR 1.13 which I upgraded today from 1.11 - the problem started with 1.11 and is still there with 1.13. This only started today after I read something about HD2's freezing at that stage!
So I am now having to keep re-starting my phone which it doesn't want to do which is becoming a real pain.
Anyone got any helpful suggestions other than going back to WM6.5?
I would recommend you to wipe all of ur data with task 29..
reinstall compatible radio
MAGLARD 1.13
Android rom
If you like gingerbread.. (the reasion why im tell you this is because GPS works awesome) download typhoons rom..
after you have done it download z4root.. root your hd2
download fasterfix (edit the gps file to your location)
Copilot should work now..
EDIT: to install the typhoon NAND rom, you need Clockworkmod
PS: remember to deactivate your copilot before doing this
feel free to ask questions

What does most of that mean
I've heard of task29 but don't know what it is, the same with "rooting". Can you point me at Typhoon's Rom, and does it still run in Sense (which I quite like)?
Thanks - I'm keen to try all this as I would like to stick wiith Android so answers to above would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: MAKE SURE YOU HAVE HSPL 2.08 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
Task 29 simply clears all the cache, data everything on your phone.. it makes your phone brand new.
download task 29 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=644781
enter bootloader mode (hold volume down button while clicking on power button once) PS: make sure your phone is off.
install task 29
now you will have nothing on your phone.
install radio Leo_RADIO_2.15.50.14 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611787
install maglard 1.13 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893618
now.. you are ready to flash an android rom. I see that you want sense on your phone. I dont use sense.. so i dont know which android sense rom gps are working on. I recommend you to flash this rom: (it is gingerbread 2.3.2, everything works + its really fast) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951
to install the rom you will need clockworkmod. to install it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=898913
click on usb flasher on maglard screen. Click on DAF.exe on clockworkmod.
clockworkmod will now be installed.
copy the android rom to your sd card.
click on ad recovery on maglard screen. click on choose zip. find the zip (android rom) . install the rom
now you will have an android rom that's working.
EDIT : after you have flashed your android rom, you will need to root. To do this just download and install z4root on your hd2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
now install fasterfix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825717
if you are in usa, point it at usa.. if you are in europa point it at europa.. to get faster gps go to this site : http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/
choose your country. EXAMPLE: if you live in spain, choose : europa, spain. this would come up : 1.es.pool.ntp.org. copy : 1.es.pool.ntp.org and open faster fix. click on custom and paste in 1.es.pool.ntp.org.
after you have done all of this.. download gps status. (make sure you are outside) wait for atleast 30 seconds. you should now have gps signal. The reasion why i told you to download gps status was because when you use the app for the first time it will download agps sattelites.. which will make your phone connect to gps signal faster.
I hope this solves your problem feel free to ask questions.
Thanks for that comprehensive reply.
In the mean time I have completely deleted Copilot (the main data was still there from HD2 installation) and then reinstalled the proper Android Copilot as it occured to me that there might be a difference in programming which was causing the problem. I'll see how I get on this week.
Thanks again.

Which Android build are you using?
I'm using Sergio's Coredroid with Copilot and haven't had a problem. Your problem might be caused by insufficient RAM being available, or any number of other potential issues. Different builds have different parts of the build located on NAND/SD card/etc.
Have you moved Copilot to the SD card (not the maps, I know they are installed on the SDcard)? If so, this might be an issue.
If you install a widget (Temp and CPU pro for example) on your device, you can monitor the available RAM and see if running Copilot (which is resource intensive) is causing the system to bog down and crash.
You might also want to try another Android build and see if your problem persists?
Hi.
I have an HTC Hd2 and i have this problem with all the available Roms.Currently i have 'HD2 Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.8 OS.7.10.8862.144 v8.9' .
I have WP installed in NAND and everything works flawless. Market place, apps, the micro sd, etc, but when i try to load internet explorer the app closes automaticaly.
I have downloaded all the browsers and they all quit after 1 second.
Does anyone knows why is this happening?
Note: I have dual boot. one fat32+ext4+'windows phone part'. All the SO's can see their own partition (only android cant see the sd card (fat32 pt) but that's another story)
Thanks

I have partially solved the problem.
using this rom 'LEO70_ROM' wich is WP 7 based everything works, so the problem is in 7.8 Windows Phone Roms.
Can anyone point me to a place where i can download an all ready , fully tested and everithing working ROM ?
You can PM me if it is against the rules to post some links.
Thanks for the help !
Most problems cause sdcards because wp use sd card as phone memory. With 7.5 and 7.8 problems with sdcards is bigger and dual boot also can make problems. Finding perfect sdcard to work 100% is hard. My advice if card is 16-32 gb to use class2 or 4 only. Work better than higher classes.
Sent from my Lumia 920 using Tapatalk
So i've managed to solve the problem, not the way i wanted but still it's a working solution.
I have cleaned everything, changed to an old without brand 2Gb microSD, and installed this rom 'Dynamics_HD2O_HD2_2_21_Western'.
After all the configurations, including a valid serial, the internet explorer works only in google search page.if i type anything else it quits.
The solution is here: with this rom i was able to download Opera Browser, and it's the only browser that supports 'web surfing' in this device.
I still don´t know what can cause that strange behavior in IE but opera is a great browser (that i still use in my N8) and works like a charm.
Thank you ' dxdy ' for the help, and if a forum admin want's to lock this topic is finne by me.

I have faced a similar issue with WP 7.8. It seems like the problem is the user agent value sent by this ROM when surfing in mobile web site mode.
To resolve the issue, switch to desktop web site mode.
Steps:
- Open IE
- Navigate to Settings menu
- Website preference, select Desktop Version
Hope this helps
