TomTom Navigator 7: intermittent failure to start - Touch Diamond2, Pure General

On a T-Mobile Compact V with TomTom Navigator 7, I frequently get a failure message:
"A problem has occurred with TomTom navigator.exe"
The start of the error report is:
Bucket Parameters

I try to start it maybe 5 or 6 times with the same message - and then it works OK. Any ideas?

I had a smiliar problem with TomTom 7.916.9189. I uninstalled TomTom and deleted the folder manually and another softreset. Then found some leftovers in registry and also deleted them.
Then i could install Tomtom againg and it worked.
Be sure that you use the vga/wvga version.

I had a similar problem. I didnt see an error, but I would have to start TT a number of times before it actually started.
After I upgraded to 65. and reinstalled TT, I no longer get this problem. Sorry I cant help. I dont know what the cause was.

Thanks both of you. It seems that a reinstall solves it. I had trouble getting TTN7 to run on it, so I will hold out for a quicker fix. Does anyone know of a simple registry edit?
By the way, I am running with the sound fix but I get the same problem running TTN7 directly.

Dont try Kaiser Tomtom on Niki
I think I found the problem. Uninstall the cab for Kaiser Tomtom and install standard tomtom 603
And it works just fine except for the videodriver that sucks.

GPS stopped working after two days

After hard reset I am able to use TT7 and Google maps with GPS for two days and then the GPS cannot be found. I installed the Nadavi_HTC GPS tool from the Polaris forum and again the GPS cannot be found.
I’ve read elsewhere in this forum that other people are having the same problem yet the tread just stopped with no solution.
I have no GPS problems with both my Polaris and Diamond.
Anyone have any idea’s or suggestions?
Same issue...
And unable to download A-GPS update (download up to 77% than says "connexion fails. Please try again later") - updating was OK (and GPS also OK) last week :-(((
Other users have the same problem on the french forums...

That's a general internet connection error. Is the device set to use a proxy?
Hard Reset the device and the same fault developed after two days.
No one else having the same problem??
Hmmm, seems odd that it's after two days (i.e. a time limited thing)
Have you tried turning off assisted GPS and then resetting again?
It's just that the assisted GPS thing does have a time limit on it

I doubt it's an Internet connection issue, because it was perfectly working last week, and all the other Inetrent-enables apps (Meteo, Opera,...) are working.
It's more like a driver ou dll issue, that prevent the OS from communicating with the GPS. It would explain both with the GPS is not working, and why the a-GPS update can't be done (my guess is the upload of the ephemeris from the net to the app is done correctly, but that the app cannot upload it to the GPS)
Thanks eyaeya, I think you could be onto something...I read in another post that there could be a conflict between the VoIP drivers and GPS drivers. Have reset the phone yet again and will wait and see..
Update and GPS is operating for the time being.
Digging the system...
I did a full backup, and a hard reset : the QuickGPS HTC app (A-GPS ephemeris downloading) is working, as well as VisualGPSCe (both were not working before the hard reset).
Restored the backup : both are not working again :-(
Open the registry : found 87 instances of "GPS"... I'm going to check the values in the 2 version of the registries... maybe we'll have a clue ! And if not, I'll check the windows/systems files. If I don't find something, I'll reinstall all the apps one after the other anc will check the GPS functionnality after each (BTW, thanks for the VoIP driver tip : I've installed Skype, Fring, SJPhone Beta, WM6oIP,SIPCOnfig 2.0.1, so one of them may be fooling me around)
Will keep you updated...
-update 1-
I've been quickly comparing the registries with Word.. haven't found any valuable information yet
I also compared the\windows directories with winmerge (which does a binary comparison) : some differences, but nothing linked to a driver or dll...
I'll try to restored the backup set (the one I did after the hard reste) to see if it makes the GPS working, or if I have to go through a hard reset again (which would mean the issue would be somewhere in the chip itself, or in some non-volatile mem...)
-update 2-
I've being paying with backups forth & back... If I restore the backup I did after he HardRest+few programs installed, the GPS is working again. SO I just have to find what in the bakcup is making it work again => system file ? registry key ?
Anyway, it shows that we should be able to restore the GPS function without going through a HardReset.
-update 3-
I tried to restore the backup I did before my first hard reste, but without the registry - after that the HTC asked me if it should activate some .exe and .dll (including the VoIPcanvas.dll) ; tried the GPS (with visualGPSCe) : didn't work :-(
I was wondering if some GPS dll could have been modified in the restoration process. There are a bunch of files that deal with GPS :
\Windows :
CleanGPSData (exe?)
CleanGPSData
GPS-icon (icon)
gpsapi
GPSAux
GPSAux.dll.040C
gpsdriver
gpsid
gpsid_HTC
mxiupdate_PA... (4 files)
QGPS_BUT_L (icon)
QGPS_BUT_L2 (icon)
QGPS_BUT_P (icon)
QGPS_BUT_P2 (icon)
QuickGPS
QuickGPS.Exe
QuickGPS (Htlm file)
QuickGPS
QuickGPS_help
However, I couldn't find them in the backup file (I use SPB Backup, which I recommend : you can extract all the files and registry from the backup set to your hard drive). Went to the HTC with resco explorer (you need to deactivate "hide system/Rom files") : those are ROM files, so they are not modified in the restoration process...
--update 4--
Did the same restore as above (update 3) but without accepting the .exe and .dll (warning at loggon) : GPS still not working. I ran "\windows\CleanGPSdata" : GPS still not working.
I found were the ephemeris are stored : \windows\xtra.bin (the registry keys are under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\QuickGPS] : "folder"="\\Windows\\", "path"="", "EEFile"="xtra.bin"). I'm going to play with those, and check they are not corrupted.
--update 5--
I managed to have the GPS working again ! This involved resetting the registry (ie installing the one I backuped after the HardReset), deleting some files (\windows\xtra.bin, GPSLogFile.txt, GPSLogFileBack.txt), desinstalling TomTom as well as all the other VoIP apps, and rebooting.
I'm going to try to reproduce
--update 6--
I've been able to have the GPS working again, without any restoring, just by deleting/modifying some registry entries, deleting some files, and de-installing some progs. Looks like the VoIP functionnality is the one that was messing everything (check if you have VoIPphonecanvas.dll).
Will try to dust my procedure, to remove unecessary steps, and I will post i here
Just to give some hope to those having a GPS issue
Up. Just to give some hope to those having a GPS issue.
ayaeya, looks like you have put in a lot of effort to help us out. Thanks!
My GPS has worked fine for the last few days. I did not install the VoIP program or Skype.
I have attached the VoIP cab that I used on the HD whiched worked fine on my Diamond and Polaris. Both phone do not suffer the same fault.
The only other program I have installed in TomTom 7.4 and I installed Google Maps directly from Google and did not use the version which came with the phone.
easy solution
Had the same problem. Am very grateful for eyaeyas solution. Tried deleting
\windows\xtra.bin, GPSLogFile.txt, GPSLogFileBack.txt. Still no success. Found another copy of xtra.bin in /temp and deleted it. Immediate success!!
So, to recap:
Delete following and soft reset:
\windows\xtra.bin
\windows\GPSLogFile.txt
\windows\GPSLogFileBack.txt
\temp\xtra.bin
(actually, it seems like the problem lies in the two instances of xtra.bin, which, I think, contains ephemeris information, so maybe it is enogh to delete these)
Remember to get new ephemeris file (fast gps) to speed things up.
mikdyb
i'm facing the same problem
suddenly gps stopped functioning
quick gps can't be updated and garmin can't find gps device
com port is set to 4
i follow the instructions and deleted this files and soft reset but no luck

\windows\GPSLogFileBack.txt
\temp\xtra.bin
any other options :S
i also have problem with GPS on my HD..
I was using Igo8 and everything was fine...

igo8/2006 doesn't work

hello,
can anyone tell me hoe to get igo8 to work ?
i've installed it, but it doesn't start ..
i've tried igo2006 but it doesn't work aswell..
i can't get them to start at all...
thanks
...
hello, in my jade igo 2008 perfectly. Have you configured it?.
i don't know how..
i've copied the 2277 and igo folders to my card, run the autorun, and copied the crack to the jade..
what else must i do ?
thanks.
You have to try more versions, for me running 8.0.0.49545 and 8.3.1.xxxxx, but I have problem with fixing satellites, it is periodically fixed and unfixed in 1 sec period... Only sometimes fixed ok :-(
i don't think it's a version problem, because igo 2006 does the same thing..
i don't know how to configure them...
can anyone tell me what i have to do after i've installed the programs ?
Igo2006 nor running under wm6.1, some patch exists, but I didn't try them. I never install Igo, only copy it to sd card, you have check the right path in sys.txt
[folders]
app="Internal Storage/iGO8"
i've tried that, still doesn't work..
Victor, what version of iGO8 are you trying to run. Version 8.0.0.49545 is definately working on my Jade with only one major caveat: switching off the display (by pressing the top button) causes communication failure with the GPS and requires a restart of iGO8 in order to rediscover the GPS.
thanx a lot for your help..
i finally managed to crack it , and it works just fine..
@victorpagu May be you had problems with licenses?
Maybe you should read more than 5 words... And with this patch running only Igo2006+
Work! Attached the pictures.
I got igo8 to work..
I don't know what the problem was..Probably the license or the data archive..
Thanks for your help !
And you sure it is Igo2006, not 2006+? I test patched Igo and working, but it is latest Igo 2006+ with new developed patch for Diamond due to wm6.1!
Alekss_UH, how did you solve fix and an unfix problem with GPS each second?
I have TT v7.9 and iGO 8.3.1.57021 and both have the same problem with GPS in my JADE.
Don't know how to solve...

TomTom 7 error message

After installing TomTom 7 (Version 7.450.9028) together with the map folder Western_and_Central_Europe-v7.20.1803, I was guided through the initial settings questions as well as a tour of the program. On starting TomTom (after the flush screen had been shown), I now get this error message:
Unable to start
Not enough memory is available
B***it! There are 277 MB on the system and 2 GB on the storage card available.
A soft reset has of course been done.
How can I get rid of the error message, what do I have to do in order to use TomTom properly?
Edit: I have seen all the other threads about this issue. Still, I don't find a solution for myself.
you need the newer version and it will fix you issue. also use cleartemp tool to delete temp files!

I had this version before, but it has small keyboard when trying to choose POI. Also the splash screen is a little ugly as it does not cover the entire screen. No big deal, but why not use 7.910?
With both version, I could run Garmin in the background while Tom Tom remains quick. No lags whatsover. So, something is holding up causing the error message.

System problem after installing igo8

Please anyone help!!!
i have installed my original ROM for diamond many times and after installing it I install all my favorite programs.
1st to install (DIAMOND HOLOGRAM) & (POCKET PICTURE 2) “ as the next problem happens with them “ . and to be sure that they work well then to install all the rest programs.
After installing all my programs I found (diamond hologram & Pocket Picture) to stop working and gives these errors :
For the hologram : (An error has happen but could not be displayed as an optional resource assembly could not be found )
For the Pocket Picture : ( an error message with two options – quit and more details ) … I can’t remember the details for now.
Anyway, after many trials to find the source of this error I found that these programs stop working after installing IGO 8.0… not only that but after installing it and got the gps receiver connected !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ….. yes that is what I found.
Now I need to install all my favorite programs and also to have IGO 8 on my Diamond.
By the way, I have tried to install all the .net versions !!!!
Anyone know what is the problem and it’s solution ????????????????????
!!!!!!!!
no one can help ?!!!
I think you have the same problem as me http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3469865&postcount=546 no answer yet
more tests
Thanks for your reply
Just wondering are we only 2 in the diamond world having this problem with igo8 !!!!!!!!!!!
I have searched a lot online trying to find anyone have this prob. 2 but failed
By the way let us help each other to find a solution for this.
Yesterday I have tried the same steps:
1- Installing my ROM
2- installing the hologram and pocket picture2, then to be sure they are working.
3- Installing igo8 and before got my gps receiver connected exit the igo and try the hologram. An I found it still working.
4- Starting igo again and got my gps receiver connected. Then to exit it.
5- Trying the hologram again to find it stop working !!!!!!!!!
After the previous steps , I continued with the next steps :
1- Removed the igo8.
2- Trying the hologram and it is still not able to start.
3- Reinstalling the igo8.
4- Starting the igo without having the gps receiver connected. And then to exit the igo.
5- Trying the hologram again (( STRANGE…. IT IS WORKING NOW !!!!!! ))
6- Starting igo again and having the gps receiver connected. Then to exit the igo
7- Testing the hologram again. Sadly to find it stop working again.
From these trials and yours ( sof treset twice or more ) … I think the the gps connecting proccess of the igo8 makes a modification some how in a necessary files required to start the hologram, pocket picture, citytime …. Etc.
Now what is this file shared and required to run all of these programs. And what is the relation between this file and having the gps connected.
Note: the 1st time to have the gps connected it takes too long time. After that it is just one second to get it connected. That means there are some data has been written into the system which makes it takes a long time at the 1st of the program after installing.
Note: at the step no 5 ( underline step above ) the hologram and the pocket picture gave a message indicating that this is the 1st use of this program after installing it, where I have tested it b4 installing the igo and have them to stop working after installing it. This means that the shared file between the Igo and hologram is being rested somehow after the step no 4.
That is all I have tested 4 now….
Any new ideas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
temp. way to slove the problem
my temp. solution for this poblem for now is to make the system.ini file under the folder "save" on the igo8 folder a read only file before got my gps connected for the 1st time. so by this way no modifications about gps settings will be saved. and as u exit the program of igo u will lose all the new settings u made " also the gps data " .... all you have to do now to make your program working is to open the igo8 again and close it without having your gps connected. that way u will have your programs working without a need to soft reset twice. !!
that is my temp solution for now, any other solution is welcome.
i had igo8 working fine on my touch diamond but i much prefered tomtom, when i uninstalled igo8 my system became really unstable. freezing all the time etc, so i tried to figure out what it was. when you install igo8 it puts loads of files onto your phone/internal storage wherever you installed it. and it doesnt work properly until you remove every single one of them
