Tomtom in HTC 7500. And the maps?!

I inserted my HTC 7500 CD in my PC and I only see 4 files in it. Only one of them is related to Tomtom. It's named "Installer_X7500_ttn_6_030_8320_HTCITA_20070227.exe" and is 5.4MB big.
WHERE ARE THE MAPS?!?

Have you tried looking on the floor to see if they fell out?

First, that is the installer......install it! Second, go to Tom Tom's website and activate it! Third, download your 1 free map........yup, only 1 and it is a city map only! Fourth, go buy a copy of T/T and get the rest of the maps!
If you already have a licensed copy, they will activate it over the phone for you.
Hope this helps..........Later

I am trying to download the free map, but TomTom keeps defaulting to Fresno, CA. How can I switch the default to a city in New Jersey? If the map is free, I would like to have my home town. I tried tampering with the URL address, but it keeps going back to Fresno, CA

If your unit is a new one,then you should be able to d/l any single map. If it is a used or "open box" item,then maybe it has already been used up by someone in California. You can only use it once.
Hope this helps..........Later

1 city only?!! ridicolous!

Its true. If I had a screen shot program, I would post a screen shot for you here. It's only giving me the option of a free map of Freson, CA. I have tried to find a registry entry to force TomTom to look for another state, but no luck. I purchased my HTC Advantage from here: http://www.networkingrus.com/

I too bought mine from Ron @ networkingrus and had no problems at all! This is the third unit that I have purchased from them.
Have you tried a hard reset and then reloading tt from the cd again? I don't know what else you could try beyond that, although you might try calling tt on the phone and see if they can help. Maybe they can tell you how to do it for a differant map.
Hope this helps..........

You must have a device that was already opened. I would call the vendor or try TomTom as the other member recommended. i just went out and purchased the entire package and uninstalled the free version. I guess you get what you pay for.

send me an email and i can get you the info you need to get it working. ( US and Canda Maps Only ). [email protected]

Mine came with World Card Mobile already installed. I checked the about screen but it only mentions the version and website name. Nothing about registered or unregistered or trial version. Did you buy it legitimately?

(REQ) Can we get Nascar Mobile Live?!?

Hi, I have a Sprint Diamond and would love to have Nascar Mobile Live! We got the NFL Live to work so I figure Nascar can too. I am sure lots of others would like this app as well!
Thanks in advance!

You should just be able to open up either opera browser or IE6 on your phone and it will be on sprints website you can then search on there if it isn't already on the main page.

i have and i txt nascar to 7777 to get the download link and its says that it is not available for my device, even though on the advertisment for tje phone on sprints website it says that it is. I was just hoping a developer could get it to work on our device.

apparently we cant get this sprint owners ecare said their sorry for the inconvience of the false advertisment on the phones details but it is not available for the diamond. I know people want thus to because 90 others have viewd this!

I have the TP and I was able to get the application just by texting NASCAR to 7777. Unfortunately I don't have the installer anymore, or I would post it. Maybe I'll try to get it a little bit later for you guys.
Kevin

that would be awesome! If you can i might have to buy you a beer!

I have it on my phone and downloaded right from there sight I'll post it in a little bit I have to run out real quick

OK, here's the file. It should work with any Sprint phone. I can't promise what it will do on other phones.

Awesome! it works on my Fuze. Thanks!

Yep, works fine on Sprint Touch Pro as well.

It don't work anymore, at least not on my Touch Pro2. It says I have to be on the now network which I am. I tried the new version and it says it's temporarily not available on my device and to try later. One of the reasons I chose this phone was for the in car radio. Guess they got my money and screwed me.

Copilot 8 thinks I am in Africa

Hi I have an issue with Copilot 8 and havent managed to find a thread in here that mentions the issue I have.
I have the following versions
OS 5.2.21869
Manilla 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 1.48.405.2 WWE
Radio 2.05.51.05_2
I replaced the original 2GB SD card with an 8GB, and used the 2gb card in my daughters Nintendo DS, blatting everything on it.
Now I fancy trying Copilot, and whilst I can run the app, I cannot download any maps as it thinks I am in Africa (or only have permission to download those maps).
This is the same for Copilot Central and on the device, if i try to download anything else it just says "Error downloading files", for the African one it gives me a second screen asking me to confirm.
Am I missing something here? Or is it because I deleted the "trial" version maps on my SD card?
I have 15 days left on the trial to fix this :-S
Hope someone has had the same issue??

You need to get in touch with CoPilot support for help with this. They're a bit slow I'm afraid, so don't hold your breath.

Agreed. However I bought CP7 early last year (I think) and it cost me nearly £60! I wrote to them recently asking if I could transfer my licence across rather than pay £26 for a new package when CP7 is perfecly adequate and they refused.
Fair do's I suppose, as they have got to make some money somewhere but disappointed nevertheless. The "get in lane" improvements in CP8 are worth it as I use this system in my car. However seeing that I have not yet had the full benefit out of the package I paid for last year I can't justify the extra expense and then have a whole package lying around doing nothing.
Shame.

I think they are getting confused somewhere!
There is absolutely nothing to prevent you cancelling the license on one device then reactivating it on another one. The only thing they won't do, and this maybe where the confusion arose, is to transfer a license between platforms (WM -> Apple/Andoid and vice versa)
If you still have CPL on the original device, you can go into the Licensing screen and select to deactivate it. This needs an internet connection. Once deactivated, install the program on the new device and go through the online activation. If that doesn't work, complain again to ALK. There is no compulsion to upgrade to relicense the program.

Had the same issue with my trial. CoPilot sent me this link and it says just to copy the copilot folder to the memory card.

That's the maps - not the application. We're looking for an installer for the app.
Worth keeping a note of this though - thanks

That's funny. My CoPilot Central 2.0 thinks I'm in Africa, too. When I used the KML-export function of my GPS-Tracks, that I had no use for, the only coordinates the KML-file contained were two hundred miles off the coast of Ghana in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

Thats the link that got mine working, I still had the ROM version loaded on my HD2.
Now I can see what the product is like, the screenshots look pretty nice. Ive got an inbuilt satnav in the car, but for £26 I'd be tempted to get this as a walking aid.

Same here, I have factory fitted satnav in the car but I got co-pilot after the trial ended, as you say if you just use it as a walking aid, you can't go wrong for £26.

Neil,
Thanks for the heads up. To be honest ALK make a great product but their Customer Service is diabolical. Rather than spend hours exchanging increasingly meaningless messages with them in that fixed format template format they are so fond of using which is so irritating and tells you absolutely nothing, I simply ditched all the CP8 folders on my device (bar the rom files which I can't move) and installed my paid for CP7.
Saves a whole load of hassle, from my perspective, and it works just fine.

Right anyone got any idea how to make the poxy Copilot Central software think i am in Europe? That still insists i am in Africa.... lord above, one step forward, two steps back and all that!!

Long shot but if you are trying to access CP Central from a PC, why don't you set-up a proxy server or use some other method to "hide" your IP address which might help solve the problem?
I have never done this for this purpose so it's unusual for me to recommend an action I have not tried myself; however if no one else has a better answer and you can't get CP Support to help then might be worth a go?

Don't bother with the Copilot support "contact form". It's totally useless, and they'll probably never reply. Instead send a "tweet" to http://twitter.com/copilotsupport/ or http://twitter.com/copilotlive/. That usually gets an answer within 24 hours.

[20 Jan][Guide]Get unlock keys for your HD2 WP7 in India and other countries!

BUMP: Microsoft again has changed the policies! Chat seems to be working again!
Thanks to members for the tip. I had a little talk with one of the fellow MS employes and he said, actual WP7 customers were suffering due to the policy change. People were finding it frustrating to have to send scanned copies. So, they made it easier.Enjoy!
BUMP: Microsoft has changed the policies! Now they need scanned copy of IMEI number and product purchase proof! If anybody is able to get key by any other method, do post in this thread!
Hello, people!
I see lots of people asking for unlock keys for there HD2-7, just because their country doesn't seem to have the call center. However, I have found that, Microsoft is supporting all the big countries!
If you find this guide helpful, don't forget to hit the 'Thanks' button.
Here is the guide.
1. First of all, you need the contact number of Microsoft call center in your country.
Go here and grab it. http://www.microsoft.com/worldwide/
I have found it working for India!
2. Now, I think calls in most of the countries will be answered by the IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System). Most probably, you will get lost in choosing menu options.
3. Simply wait for the last option where the system says that press __ to talk to our technical support person. (In India, you have to type 06)
4. Now, the person will receive you. Tell him your Windows Live Id and all other things. (you need not fake!) And tell them your issue. He may say that you are in wrong section! Ask him to transfer his call to product activation section for WP7. (All this is to avoid getting lost in IVRS menu!)
5. Now, your call will be transfered. Tell the person that you want to activate your HTC HD7! (Make sure, its launched in your country.)
6. That's it! The person confirms your Live ID and gives you the key. (Its kinda difficult though to get 25 characters correctly through phone. Make sure you take down everything correctly!)
7. If step 3 onwards doesn't work (like technical support person doesn't know what you're talking about) tell them the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2431699 and tell him that this is I want.
8. Alternatively, you can navigate to Xbox live support and ask them for key. (You have to tell them that you were asked for the key when you tried to access the Xbox live from your HD7)
9. Method of Skype is good but won't work on poor connections. (and most of the connections fall in this category, as far as developing countries are concerned!)
Again, I need your feedback. Comments are most welcome (and so are thanks!) Please, buy me a cup of milk, if you wish! (I don't like beer! )People in India can use SBI net banking. (PM me for account number!)
Hope you enjoy it.

hey akshay! Thanks for the detailed description. BTW i had no issue with activation key as that was butter smooth to get from MS India. As the HD2 now activated, how do you install apps from Marketplace as for me it doesnt download any apps from marketplace.
I tried these methods already
1. Clean install of WP7, activation of Live services by activation key and then logging in to marketplace via both region being India as well as US. It would show message something like "Can't get info right now, try later"
2. I also tried registry editing to as in here. Then tried connecting to marketplace. Error pop up as Marketplace not available in your location.
3. I did regedit on my Windows 7 to access marketplace using Zune desktop, which is a success, it opens and registers my choices, also show that your app will be installed soon, but no app is installed.
4. Finally i downloaded WP7 Desktop Marketplace, i works fine, downloads, as well as deploys apps to my phone but show error in a few app deployment. As of now this is the only work around for me with a few limitations.
If you able to access marketplace and download apps directly to your mobile or by any other better way, please guide me.

To all:
Why so difficult?
Please go to here: http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support#
Choose the top chat. Wait a minute. Tell them you need a activation code for your WP7 phone. They ask name and phone number. After waiting another minute they give it to you.
Last question they have: Did it work? You say YES!

I did all as mentioned but as WP7 not officially launched by MS in India, no marketplace availability. Also Zune Marketplace app download issue is resolved, just a few more tweaks required and done. Now I am comfortably installing free apps from Marketplace using Zune. Also have a lot many Xbox Live games but wont post any links here as it would be piracy...no piracy on XDA.

Your problem is clearly related to your Live ID belonging to an unsupported Country.
Create a new Live ID with Region set to US and you should be fine.

Well Saurabh, you really don't need to Skype at all. I know how frustrating it is! As I've clearly mentioned, you can straightway call them and get the key. Also, some users have confirmed to get it via chat support. Please, ignore Skype thing. Its not really for slow connections. Use chat support or straightway fire a call. Looks like you'll have to wait two days as its already Friday and call centers will be open on Monday.
Reply with progress!
EDIT: By the way, call center contact details for India are:
Phone: 1800 102 1100 (Toll free number accessible from Airtel land line and mobile phones
Phone: 1800 111 100 (Toll free number accessible from MTNL/BSNL land line)
