I have noticed and not sure if this is always the case, so correct me if that is the issue, but when i soft reset my phone or sometimes it seems it just "happens" that my time is set to Casablanca time, and i have to then reset it to US-Central, it asks if i want to save the time , i say yes, it changes to Central and then do another soft reset and it's back to casablanca, the clock settings shows the time set to US central . is this a known issue? my rom is summitters v 2.24 any other information i can provide just let me know, thanks
Sounds similiar to the known Timezone issue. Disable network time sync (search on it) and see if the problem goes away.
I get that problem too.
Hi all,
Just installed the 3.0.1 update from the iNav site. I noticed that yes it does fix the slow voice issue. Very nice.
But on my 8525 it is extremely slow to start up at time. A soft reset and it opens fine. But after a few hours of use on PPC it takes from 1 1/2 to 2 minutes to open. When I launch it I get the spinning colored wheel and then nothing for well over a minute, then the agreement screen pops up...
Its installed on the internal memory as I thought it was my SD card. Maybe it still it my SD card and its having a hard time reading the map file??? I don't know.
Just looking to see if anyone else is having issues or not.
Thanks!

i have the same issue also.. but its only the program you have loaded on your device as i am sure the map is possibly to large to fit on the phone.. the program itself is loaded on my device, but the map is on my card.. mine doesnt take as long to load, but takes longer than it did on my wizard.. also the voice directions are slow, like i was traveling at 70mph the other day coming up to a turn (i already knew where i was going but testing different BT loads on my device) and it took 3 miles to tell me to turn
Thanks for the reply. Check your version the lastest was posted to fix the slow voice issue when gprs is connected. I have only tested it a bit but the voice flowed quick.
I have not noticed if its saying the prompts too late usually it will alert at like 2mi 1mi then several feet before.
I think my issue is a memory issue. It seems like there is not enough memory for the program. When I am having issues with it pie will crash on pages. So a soft reset resets everything. Wish I could find what the real issue is.
You are correct I have the program on the device and the maps on the card.
you know, your right, the 2 or 3 times i tried to load it up i didnt think i hit the icon right, hit it a 2nd time and it would come up right away, this time i hit it once and it took every bit of 2 minutes to come up... and i do have 3.0 not 3.0.1... lets just say im not able to acquire the patch from the website, nor have i found it anywhere else yet.....
3.0 will open faster if you disconnect GPRS (edge, 3g, whatever) first. However if it connects again you will have the slow voice issue. I have not had time to install 3.01 yet, so I can't confirm that it is fixed. I will also be sending you a PM.
Later, Lew
I had the sane issue with version 2. something. I downlooaded the patch for it and have had no issue maybe they will release a another patch soon.

i can confirm faster load if you drop your data connection, but havent traveled yet to see of 3.0.1 fixes the slow voice
I ran a demo and the voice seams fine. It starts faster then 3.0 if you leave the connection active, but both start fast when disconnected.

Thanks much for the replys. I can confer if you drop your data connection it will start up much faster.
The issue I saw was with the data connection I have to launch the program 20+ times and then it seems to pick up.
I believe that the program as part of that voice fix is trying to knock off the data connection and the 8525 is fighting it preventing the launch. Then after XX times it lets iGuidance start up...
But again thanks so much, dropping the data connection is no big deal..

actually you dont have to try to start x number of times.. try this, hit your icon once and wait a few minutes, i bet it will come up... for some reason with the data connection it takes 2-3 minutes, it could take you 2-3 minutes to hit it 20+ times for it to come up... its just an issue with slow launch..
does anyone have a registered version that they could report this issue to the manufacturer?
lol
I have been bugging them for the release for weeks. I'll let em know! They seem to be having issues with our devoces. They said that the final release would be 12/06. So maybe they are working on it who knows.
Yeah it most likely take me 2 mins to hit it 20 times!
Hi all,
Does anyone where I can download 3.0.1 patch?
I am using 3.0 with all the above issues.
Thanks a lot.

The problem does seem to be an active internet connection. What I've done is used mortscript to solve this and also the annoying backlight off problem wich Inav seems think is not big deal. All you need to do is first install mortscript with is included in the zip or download if from the website. Put Keep Alive and the script file in the Iguidance directory. Everyithing should work in case you installed iguidance to the memory card or changed directorys in wich you will have to edit the script and point to the correct location. I've also made a shortcut to make it seem a sort of original feel. Just place the shortcut in your windows\start menu\programs location. The only problem is this new version of mortscript does not allow the same script to run over again, so if you exit the program you can't use the attached shortcut to run it again. If anyone has a solution to this let us know.
cheers

i have a simple solution, just hold down the red phone key(end call) for about 5 seconds and the data connection will disconnect, then open iguidance

I like this idea better than holding th end call button. In fact I did the very same thing. You see with this you can end the data connection, start iguidance, change the back lighting (if you want) and reconnect the data connection and anything else you like to change like volume and what not all with one click. Way to share with others benfica88. Makes me feel kinda bad that I didn't post mine for everyone. I guess I forget sometimes that not everyone knows what is available out there.

No probs. Do you by any chance know how to run multiple instances of the same script?
well when hold down the end button to end the data connection it will start back up within a minute or so due to push mail or whatnot.. and changing the backlight wasnt much of an issue for me cause the only time i use this is in my car and when im in my car i have plugged into a car charger.. so the end button solves my problem
on another note, PPC Profiles will do a similiar thing, you can set up profiles on your phone so with the simple tick of a button you can turn on BT, keep the backlight on, change the audio, etc.. the only thing it dont do is kill the data connection... well except turning on BT will do that... i know there are 2 different versions of this program, the author is a loyal windows mobile like the rest of us and created a free version for owners, he also has a version you can buy.. if you guys are interested i know i have the free version around here somewhere..
I am having the same issue with my treo 750, except ending the internet connection does not help. Is there anyother options? My GPS software is useless right now, it wont start up at all. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and it will start once, but than after that it will not open at all, even after soft reset
Ok I just soft reset and it does work after I end the internet connection. Man this is a pian though! Is inavcorp aware of this issue at all?
I just got a 8525 and ran into the slow loading problem with iNAV. I am running 3.01 and it does take 1 to 2 minutes for the app to load. If you do press the end call button for 5 seconds before you load iNav it loads in 10-15 seconds. It has to be a flaw in the app.

here's a quick rundown of what i'm currently using ..
--> AT&T 8525
--> stock AT&T WM6 ROM
--> Slide2Unlock v0.99
--> Grumps iPhone Lookalike
every couple of days my phone will "lock up" and ask me to enter my password .. strange thing is, i never entered a password or enabled the password function @ all .. i did a hard reset today & reloaded everything but the problemseems to persist .. any idea on how to completely disable the password function? before the hard reset there was a timer that would count down and if i didn't soft reset in time .. well .. i didn't wait to find out what would happen & i'm not about to ..
any help would be very much appreciated ..
cheers.
Not being able to see your phone, I really can't isolate the issue, but here are is something to try.
1 Hard reset your device again, load no software and use it as normal for a couple of days, or long enough that the problem would have re-occurred.
If the problem re-appears, you know the problem is with the ROM on the phone. If the problem does not re-appear, load your software 1 program at a time waiting a couple of days between loads to find the problem.
Once you have isolated the problem down to a specific piece of software, find a thread for that software and research or PM the developer.
Sorry I can't be more help.
I've somehow developed a really bizarre problem in that instead of turning off the backlight on my phone after the specified timeout time the phone just jumps to the home screen (although this takes a second or two). The timeout is set to 10 seconds, and if I click on a program just after the ten seconds the program appears then the phone jumps back to the home screen. I've been having a look over everything on the phone and I've found that it's missing backlight.exe from in the windows folder, which it is specifying to launch in HKLM/ControlPanel/Backlight/Redirect. I've searched the phone and the only other backlight.* file it can find is backlight.dll. I can only think that this file has somehow got deleted, although I can't work out when this might have happened.
Could anyone verify that this file should exist and if it should, upload it for me?
Edit: A few people have checked for me and the backlight.exe file doesn't exist on the HD (odd that the registry referes to it :/), so it must be something else. I'm making a note of all of my tweaks and preparing for a hard reset incase I can't get this sorted.
Edit2: Had to do a hard reset. Still can't work out what cause the problem as I've set it all back up again just as it was before (including my registry tweaks) and it's fine this time.
I have a big problem,it happens once a day(it happend before MR1,with MR1,and with MR2). Cant unlock the screen,when I need to drag padlock left or right it just cant,padlock stays on the left or right side, I can get it back to the middle but unlock - NO (sometimes it promts for some ''unlock code'' but it is not usuall lock code,one REFERENCE it is NOT set to use a screen lock code). Only soft reset helps. Somebody have something to say???
hi
this is a strange thing you said, and i can't imagine what are you saying.
but try to set a unlock code and set the setting not to ask the code.
i can't tell the step by step cause i'm updating the MR2 right now.
I had similar problem after upgrading my X2 to MR1. It used to happen frequently.
Yesterday evening I upgraded my X2 to MR2, since then I have encoutered the same problem once.
Any solution?
that problem makes me very.........i cant use basic functions like answering the call when it happens. and that was happening to me also before i installed mr1and now with mr2.
I solved problem when set the device to promt for a pass when unlock,but when i turn off that option problem comes back. I must use my phone with that option turned ON or it will freeze every day.
Ah had this all the time initially, after MR1 it never happened at all.
In about a couple weeks of MR2 usage, it happened once. Hasn't happened again, but ever since then my sms alerts randomly become silent.
Guess MR2 is still quite buggy. I'm about to jump ship.
I've had a lock bug on the MR1 a lot but with MR2 i've only had it once (where it would tell me that my pass was invalid when it wasn't). A quick reboot of the phone and it hasn't happen again (thankfully).
Maybe every once in a while (every 1-2 weeks) give your phone a full reboot (pop out the battery, put it back and turn the phone on). Maybe that will keep you from getting it as frequently (maybe).
guys,
do you use Autolock activated mode when you see unexpected password to unlock prompt or when you can't unlock unit by moving bubble on the screen?
I sow this issue a lot of times - but it's interesting that I never sow this issue when unit is in autolock and in sleep mode, I receive input call and I see bubbles like Answer or Skip but I always can unlock my unit and answer or skip Call. Do you know anything about similar issues for other WinMob products?
