Hi guys and gals,
I've recently upgraded my XDA IIs to the latest iMate software. I've then re-installed tomTom 5 with the upgrade to version 5.1
Now my tomtom won't save any of my settings. So i can input my Home and favourties etc... shut down tomtom and then when i go back in, i have to accept the agreement again, and none of my settings are there.
Is anyone else having this problem? and more importantly - does anyone know what the fix is for this?
Thanks all
tcs44_uk - Are you installing from an SD Card? If you are check that the files are unlocked before you copy them onto the SD card or it will act as you have described.
I too had the same problem with a legit purchased copy from TomTom. Someone on another forum advised me to copy the files to the PC, unlock them, copy them back to the SD card the re-install - hey presto works a treat.
HTH
I have nearly the same problem. My settings stay, but favorite and base are gone after a few uses :
I record the base and a few favorites, I exit TT5 using the "quit" icon. When I restart it, the base & favorites are still there (so they are correctly recorded : the file is not locked, and the SD card not Read Only).
After a few runs (I have not been able to check how many, or what can cause that), they're all gone : no base and no favorite.
All I store in POI never disappear, so my work-around is to place all favorite and base in POI.
Tomtom support is ZERO. They have pre-formatted message they send not reading the whole problem, and it is impossible to reply, 'cause the case is closed after their crappy answer.
OhBuggerit2k2, how do I tell if the files are locked?
I have the same problem, TT5 will not remember any favourites when restarted.
I have the files on my computer, how do I check they are not locked?
Thanks Guys

Which files??
I also have this problem.....

Home location
Favourites

would appreciate any help,
Thanks,

i had a similar issue & resolved it by changing the settings on the file with extension .cfg from read only. i had 2 copy the file 2 my desktop change the settings then saving back 2 xda2i.
i have a problem with tomtom where it throws me out...any1 know how 2 sort it?
Thanks guys - after copying all of the TomTom files back to PC, taking off the Read Only flag, and then copying the files back - all working fine now.
Cheers

Copy the .CAB files to your memory card with a card reader (gps.cab, pimaddin.cab, ttn.cab, wzd.cab) then copy across your intended map. Fire up file explorer and run each of the .CAB files by tapping them - Soft reset and you should be good to go Info on setting up the GPS receiver can be found here, just use the search function and all will become clear! Hope this helps...

I think it as something to do with the new OS version (5.2.1921 Build 18521.0.7.0), because in all latest ROM's with this OS I don't have anymore
the My Documents folder in the PC side, I still synchronize everything inside it but I do not know where it's stored.
For example I have notes in the PC but I cannot find them anywhere, but when I flash with different ROM they appear in the Trinity, so they must be stored somewhere.
Can someone give me any thoughts abut this??
Thx
Sry for this thread but I already get it.
I just needed to select the files option in ActiveSync
What a noob...
Something similar happended to me...snif

Hi, my bluetooth does not seem to work on the device. If I reset it i get the error message on start up saying 'BTTRAYCE' is not a vlaid Pocket PC application. Is my unit faulty. I have thought about doing a hard reset on the device but wanted to check with you guys if there is a simple fix, the unit needs replacing? or if the hard reset would work. If I was to do the hard reset what can I use to backup all my contacts with there facebook links etc and will the facebook links still exist?

You can use a program called Sprite Backup, although its not free. That will backup a lot of things, but to be honest, its probably best to start from scratch as it backs up all registry changes too, which could be the problem for you.
My bluetooth works fine, what part are you having trouble with?
Bluetooth Issues
I am having the same problem.
I have narrowed it down to tomtom installation (no bluetooth issues until tomtom is installed)
I have tried with TT7 910 9185 as well as TT7 445 and after the reboot the same error occurs.
I have also tried installing it on the memory card, and hard resetting it, however, the TomTom doesn't appear to talk to any Satellites.
I installed Tomtom 7.910.9185 and it says "Unable to start. Not enough memory" or similar. I installed it from cab on my 8GB Storage Card in the same way that worked perfectly on my Raphael.
The point of telling you that is my bluetooth is still working perfectly.
As for you Bladesharp, surely if you Activesync all the relevant links and details will remain with your contacts? I'd say a hard reset will determine if it's a hardware issue.

I'm on 7.915 for TomTom and don't have the issue.
Links to Facebook won't transfer with Active Sync, they are stored somewhere seperately on the phone and are not part of the Contacts program in pOutlook.exe, they are part of Manila which is not transferable. Not sure where it is stored, have been looking now for about 2 months
I came across something similar to this last week after installing TomTom from a CAB, and found this post on a related issue...
http://www.noeman.org/gsm/trash-section/65951-tomtom-7-bluetooth-problems-sorted.html
I deleted the two bluetooth files (BtSdKCE30.dll & BtCoreIF.dll) from the TomTom CAB as described, did a hard reset and reinstalled, and haven't had the problem since. Could be the same issue?
Could someone who has not installed TomTom please post the dates of their BtCoreIf.dll & BtSdkCE30.dll? Mine are both 04/24/08 20:10.
Does anyone know if it is possible to revert to the ROM version of these files WITHOUT doing a hard reset?
If some kind person was able to provide me with the ROM version, can I just overwrite the ones in RAM?
R
These came from my device's \Windows directory, and are dated 14th May. I think they are unaffected by this problem, certainly I don't get the boot delay or BTTray boot crash that seem to be the possible symptoms of this. (Use caution, of course; backup what you can before tinkering in case of disaster.)
Sounds the same as my thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522373
someone already tried the above files? will it correct the problem?
Thanks for the files.
I am happy to confirm that installing the two DLLs gets BTTrayCE.exe working again.
I just renamed the 04/24/08 versions to .was and use Total Commander to copy the files from my storage card to \Windows and rebooted the phone... ActiveSync wouldn't let me copy them directly from my PC as it said there was already a 05/14/09 version there and it was read-only!
As it rebooted, it complained that BtCoreIf.dll was from an unknown supplier but I just OK'd that and everything is fine. Bluetooth & TTN working.
R.
PS Didn't need to copy BTTrayCE.exe as this had not been overwritted.
Ah, thanks for letting me know. I wasn't sure if the exe was also needed, I only included it since one of the symptoms I was getting was that this wasn't a valid executable; but I guess that was just caused by the corruption of the dll's.
I don't think the DLLs are corrupted, just an earlier version.
Just like the bad old days of Windows 3.1 where installing one package would break others due the installing of different versions common DLLs. Gosh, I feel old!

Ah yes; that makes more sense! I still had a boot delay even with the files from the most recent TomTom version I could find.
Hi there,
i had the same Problem with TT. In my case I also copyed the BTTrayCE.exe. Now I dont get any error anymore but the Bluetooth can still not be started. Can somebody please upload the Original BTTrayCE.exe. Thank you
I did a reset of my Swisscom German Device. Copyed the 3 BT Files and installed the TT7 v7.910.9185 again. After restart of my Device the same BT Error. I replayced the 3 Files with my Original ones and restarted again. New Error comes up "Bluetooth Stack can not be started"

Thanks guys a lot. Rewriting those two files solve the problem. Bluetooth works now.

Thanking you very much kind sir. I unzipped these files directly to my storage card in USB mode and just double clicked the exe file and it fixed my bluetooth up for me. (good job as I am a technical biff when things get registry level)
EDIT sorry I thought it did but it didn't just fix it by double clicking the exe. I've hard reset now as I don't really know what I am doing
As said in the thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522373&page=4
There is no need to replace the two files.
Just delete them and soft reset. They will be replaced with the two right ones.
Bluetooth problem with TomTom resolved!

I had the same and here's what I just discovered and what worked:
I removed the files and expected them to be replaced upon restart. When I checked I noticed a file in the \Windows directory named BtSdKCE50.dll - I had not noticed this before. I (re)moved this, rebooted again and now Bluetooth and FM Radio (!) are working, yay!
hth,
TA2
This fixed my problem. Couldnt delete the old files but copied the replacements over the top and that sorted it. My version of Tom Tom wont work stil but it is 7.5 I think.
I've had exactly the same problem I've tried overwriting the dll's with the files provided in this thread,
Now whilst I don't get the error message, when I try and enable bluetooth, I get "cannot start bluetooth stack" error
Any ideas peeps?
When I save favorites in Copilot 8 I can see them as long as I don't close the application. When I restart it all the favorites (and also the recent targets) are gone again.
Did someone face this problem or could give me a hint how to solve this issue?
Thank you in advance.

I had this problem before, but I can't remember the exact file. Basically, there's a file that you need to enable read/write access by finding it in Windows Explorer and unchecking "read only" in the file's properties. That fixed it for me, but I can't remember what file it was.
Thank you for your reply. The folder supposed to be writeable (and acutally shown as writeable) is copilot/EU/europe/save as I found two files named favorite.lst and recents.lst in it.
These files are shown as writeable as well. Do I have to gain root to make the folder and/or the files writeable not only for the owner?
Called Copilot Support and got the answer that they are aware of this problem and there should be a newer version to hit the market within the next weeks to correct this.
Aditionally I was told that there has just been released a froyo compatible version, just to let you know.
Finally helped myself .
Within the copilot folder there is a file named user.cfg. The path to the save folder was not set.
So I closed two cases in one go: Moved the maps to the external sd card and set or changed the paths in the user config file.
Now everything is working as it should. Maybe this information can help other people to solve the problem more quickly then I did.
Can copilot be installed on an external sd card? (sdcard/sd)?
The program itself can't but as I said you can move the maps folder to the external sd card - you just have to physically move for example the EU (if you are in Europe like me) folder to the external sd card and then change the path in the user.cfg to this directory to the new path (there is more than one entry for this directory in the user.cfg).
Perfectly worked for me.
user.cfg
Hello Olympicchicken,
I think I have the same problem you had but when I came to verify first of all if I had the files favorite.lst and recents.lst, they were none.
I downloaded those two files from a Copilot Live package as saw on the internet but still nothing, I can save my favorites.
When opening the user.cfg, the path to save the favorites and recents are the right one:
[Data]
"VersionedGrid"=-2147483640
[Directories]
"AddonDir"="/sdcard/copilot/NA/Quebec/addon/"
"AudioDir"="/sdcard/copilot/audio/"

Do you have any ideal what could be causing this by any chances?
Thanks for you time!
Have a great week-end!
P.s.: I have Galaxy S with Android 2.1 and Copilot Live 8.2.0.218
As for me, I have the samsung galaxy S and I cant even save. I moved to external SD card and changed the user but it still dosnt work. I dont have a "favorite.lst" file, neither a "recent.lst" one. I reinstalled and I still dont get them.
Same here, I can't save my favorites after upgrading to 8.2.0.218. It seems that's a problem with canadian adress. Someone have found the newer version 8.2.0.368 ?
The Problem seems to be with Canadian Addresses, ( actually 1 did work for me ) but it was only for testing. US Addresses had no issue
Any fix?
This helped me sort but the save directory that resolved it was not the one in the copilot directory..
The offending line in the user config was
"LRSaveDir"="sdcard/copilot/<region>/<country>/save/
for me the line said "LRSaveDir"=2
I changed mine to reflect my phones directory structure..
"LRSaveDir"="sdcard/copilot/EU/UK/save/
**When I did that all resolved and even my previous saves came back.
So I am happy again.

I had the same problem. I had deleted some files on my SD Card and somehow something got corrupt(happened when switching between 3 different apps while driving).
I'm on the road at least 4 days a week and use co-pilot to route my gas buddy stops and save them as trips. All of the sudden it wouldn't save my recent data and all of my save files were not accessible even though the files were in the map save dir ("sdcard/copilot/NA/save/").
I decided to just wipe everything and re-install the app though.
I have a new copy of TomTom Navigator 7 and want to use it on my HTC HD Mini. It was supplied on a 4GB card but as I've got a 16GB card installed in the phone I've copied the contents over.
Originally I fitted the memory card they sent me into the phone but it kept reporting that this version was not compatible with this phone.
How did others manage to get this working on the HD mini...
Roy_s
If you use "search feature", you'll find a lot of post about Tomtom...
The official version is not compatible with HDmini, you have to look for another software version, modified...
Thanks for the reply, I did read some of the other posts but thought that they had managed to get the new version to work. I've used an older version (WM5) on an older HTC phone for a few years. The HD mini being the newer 6.5 you'd have thought it would work and still be compatible........
Roy_s
Like you , i've been disappointed to notice that Tomtom is unable to sell a correct version for a new mobile like HDmini while you can find one easily on the net .
I have asked them about this without correct answer at that moment !
I did the same, they can't even say when it will be tested or even if it is on the list to be tested with this phone.
I've since found the file ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab and will try running that to see if it then allows me to run the installation.

If im right, im still using this version succesfully:
TTN_7.916.9192_QVGA_black_fixed_BT
You need the QVGA version with the Bluetooth fix, or else you will get errors.
Yes did see a post about TTN_7.916.9192_QVGA_black_fixed_BT but someone reported the GPS lagged. Have tried to search for that file but can't find a site that allows me to download it.
Still need to confirm the installation steps, do I run the cab first then install Navigator 7 or are there other files that I need to copy over..?
No problem, I have purchased the latest Navigator 7 from TomTom, just need help from everyone to get their software working.....

The cab is Navigator 7 (TTN=TomTom Navigator). I can't imagine you can't find the file after a thorough google search...
Yes, there is some GPS lag. This can be solved by installing GPSmod driver:

Tomtom7 working perfectly in hd mini.
Hello, is more 'than a year I use tomtom 7 - although I prefer (IGOPRIMO1.2) per hour with only ris.480X272 - TTS, but much more detailed than the TomTom. I'm leaving screenshot .... screenshot4 in particular. Here's the data that I use TOMTOM WORKING PERFECTLY! Else can not .........
P.S. my vers. not to install but copy / paste to SD card. Start navigator.exe.
The only copy is on a Dutch share site that you need to be a member to download, tried a number of variations of the name but nothing labelled as BT fix.
So I tried ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab which I loaded to the phone memory. It found my map on the memory card and it asks for the activation code but then returns message saying its not valid..?
It's a legal map (Western_Europe_1GB) & code I purchased so should not be a problem.
Maybe I should delete all of the files that TomTom sent me on the SD card and just put the map on there in case their Navigator 7 files are causing the problem.
In fact .... I tried that (cab) you say ..... but does not work. You have to find a zip file, where there is only one folder. you just have to (COPY IN SD CARD) exe = navigator.exe. no installation on device! Then you have to validate your map.
p.s.To run you must first validate the MAP. by the code of your device you need the code for tomtom. the code of the device (it IDENTIFYING YOUR PHONE) is one that I deleted on screenshot4.

Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure I understand fully.
The cab I have loaded (ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab) you say does not work, which one did you use & where can I get it?
I can't find any file called navigator.exe either in the phone or on the memory card or the SD card that TomTom sent me.
Hello. You can not tell you more, because it violates copyright laws ......
I try to make you understand:
1. tomtom program:
time ago I tried (ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab) but I had problems .... then turning the net I found a file.zip. Inside a folder (Navigator). if you find that you just file.zip estract in sd card root. start *. exe. The version that I use are in screenshot4.
2 then you have to unlock the MAP,
ie have the license (serial number that you derive from your serial device). Your serial device appears when you start tomtom for the first time. (registration map).
I hope you understand.
Thanks for the reply, my version is a purchased copy from TomTom so I'm not violating anything I'm just trying to get it to work. The steps I've done so far are:-
Loaded TomTom 7.916.9192 QVGA black bt.cab
> Bttrayce error reported at boot up, deleted files BtCoreIf.dll & BtSdkCE30.dll, rebooted phone
> No error message
> Run Navigator, "Western_Europe_1GB map has not been activated" message
> Entered code from TomTom, message to say "Activating"
> Error "Activation failed. Sorry this is not a valid map activation code for Western_Europe_1GB"
The map is valid, it was supplied on a memory card with the activation code by TomTom, I have only copied the map to the memory card in the phone, none of the other files on the card supplied by TomTom.
I seem to have got over the Navigator installation problem but can't get the map to activate...? Its like this cab is not compatible with the latest map I have.
I have got TomTom v7 working on the HD mini.
As this was a purchased copy I contacted TomTom support and they manually activated the map, I loaded their activation file and all working.
I have noticed a little lag, not by much, but if I compare to an older phone running TomTom my new version seems to be 10 to 20 meters behind....?
Is this the GPS lag that others have pointed out, is there a latest patch to correct this...?
Not tried the home application yet either.
