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

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.

Ok...
I know, this is wierd...but every now and then the \storage card folder just disappears from the system. It's like the pocket pc no longer recognizes that there's an SD card there. I've tried taking it out, and then putting it back in. But that doesn't solve the problem. The only way I could get the device to recognize that there's an SD card installed in the slot, is via a soft reset.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? I used to have an iPaq h4350, and this NEVER happened...
Thanks,
Quordandis
Strange...
Tell more about your SD card and device's ROMs (versions).
Let's see... I have a Siemens SX66 model PH20B1, ROM v1.40.00 WWE, Radio v1.13.00, ExtROM 1.40.125 WWE
The SD card is a PNY 1gb....Wierd, huh?
Thanks,
Q
I have a similar problem. But the \Storage Card 'sometimes' comes after removing and inserting back, otherwise the softreset will only do the trick. Any idea. My ROM versions are as in my sig
Our versions are almost identical, except the ExtROM is slightly different (which I'm not sure really makes much of a difference). Also, taking it out and putting it back in does NOTHING for my device....only a soft reset will solve the problem....
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Q
SD Card spontaneously Disappears
I have the same problem... if I press a little bit the storage card down it appears again. I thing this is due to bad contact result of a fall.
I send it to repair but came the same way, they only up-to-date the rom version.
Should I try to open it and check the contcats !?!?
some more info
When the PPC enters this mode, if I browse the storage card through the PC (via active sync), it shows only the folders and all files are missing. If I sopft-reset it and check it again, (life came back) I could see all the files then.
Any idea why this is?
Yes, I noticed the same thing today...!
The folders on my Storage Card are still there...but are empty! File explorer shows that the folders DO contain stuff.
I have tried to soft-reset, but no luck yet. Strange.

Softreset worked for me..
I occasionally get this - usually when I have been using tomtom 5 and getting it to recalculate a lot - I noticed last time that the unit was a bit warm, so it may just be a thermal issue - I have overclocked to 530MHz+.
A soft reset sorts it out
I get this a lot too.. Programs that are currently running are
1. PocketPlus 3.0
2. Resco 2005
I notice 1 thing though.. that if I do a quick ON/OFF, the SD disappears and I have to softreset to get it back.
However, my work around is that when I switch it on, I let the thing fully load first before turning OFF the unit. (See through Resco today pluging-in). When the indicator appears.
So far hasn't bother me for more then a week d..
Happy trying.
Will try the same trick then...
I've uninstaled pocket plus 3.0 and never hapen again.I still have resco explorer 2005
Best regards
ooh
Im experiencing that same problem. The only way toget rid of this annoying thing is to soft reset the device.
I was installing and customising my phone and i ran into some troubles...
i had spb pocket plus, aebuttons and wm5torage installed (amongst others but...)
wm5torage converted all my spare memory on the 2gb card to flash memory and worked, but did not convert it back when the software was deactivated.
i had the aebuttons software installed, but did not work, and i also had the spbpocketplus installed on the card
the wm5torage blipped out and renamed the storage card to storage card 2, meaning that the spbpocketplus tried to ran it could not! this completely froze the orbit and refused to run. now by the safe mode that was with spb i managed to boot up the system, uninstall the offending softwares, renamed the storage card, took it out, booted, replaced and this basically set the phone to almost factory settings (minus the theme)
but this also destroyed some of the o2 custom settings that i liked (meters on the today screen, messages, device lock...) and also, the "extra" buttons 5 and 6 used for the camera and voice dial are now gone.
from the net ive found that the basics of these are found in the start > settings > today > items, but im left with 4 options in there, tasks, calendar, date and owner info.
whats the best option for me?
i reckon simply copying all the personal data to the storage card and taking the phone to the shop, who will just replace / send back to o2 for a reprogram of the rom, or is there a simple way for me to fix?
also, i know this is a stupid easy question, but how do i backup all my contacts AND extra data (if i backup to the sim i can only hold 99 names, and i lose secondary details (address, email etc..) also, i would like to backup so that when i get the new phone, i can run the backup again and my phone is back up to date...
i have the best part of 1500 messages, and 400 extended details of contacts that i can not afford to reinput into again!
thx
anyway, used the pim backup utility! excellent prog, stored all on the storage card, moved everything of value there also... then hard resetted and all is good!
reinstalled the progs i know work, put the theme back on and everythings great!
thx guys
Hi All,
I just purchased an o2 XDA Orbit with the free Copilot software. I installed it from the mini sd card and all seemed ok. I entered the product key and activation code which all went well.
Then I proceeded to setup the options but under 'Set Language' there is not language to choose and no voice either. I tap 'Next' anyway and choose Mile as my 'Map Units', tap next and I cannot get pasted the warning screen that mentions 'exercising caution whilst using the product'. I have re-installed and searched the Internet all day and cannot find anything. I'm bored and tired.
Does any have a solution or experienced this problem? I guesing it's something to the with paths pointing to the wrong location but I'm not sure.
Regards,
Aston
Never used my free CPL software just got Tomtom straight away.
Try reinstalling it maybe ? there are 3 CDs with it so do you have to add the voices via a cable PC connection ?
the screen exerciseing caution is a us requirement so is put in all versions you should be able to tap an ok or next button an then you should be able us the application
Hello,
I have recently installed CPL7 with no problems having uninstalled CPL6, this ran with no problems aswell. I have a 2GB Micro SD card, so I copied all the folders/files from the install card directly to the 2GB card, then once inserted into the phone, the phone found the install and installed CPL7. All the folders/files from the install card remain on the card now. Did you install from the card then remove the card(don't know if this is important or not)?
HTH
Howdy,
Did a search but didn't find topic?
First mistake, Dnloaded and installed latest AT&T 6 Rom to me Hermes!
Second mistake, have Vista Home Prem (ugh!) Build 6000, and
had Windows Mobile Device Center installed and worked on Win Mobile 5. Could copy and paste files to SD card!
Installed on the new Rom, now I tick WMDC > Connect > GO to SD card > to paste file / app etc and get billies
"The copy and paste has failed. The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected!"
Even tho I can see files on SD card on laptop!
So I uninstall billies WMCD reboot laptop and reinstall WMCD and same error!
Now I can see the files on the SD Card, move the files around on the SD Card but no copy to SD card??????? I don't have a card reader as I used Win 5 and didn't need another reader!
Any suggestions, workarounds (besides getting rid of billies silly junk.)
Help please!

Hey thanks and fast reply,
I will try formatting sd card if I can find a way to back it up to something!
Does anyone know of a free online Back up site that I could back up sc card with Sktools bkup?
WOW have to much great stuff on it from xda forums!
I rally don't mean to add an off topic situation, but this also started when I installed the AT&T Rom. . .
The other problem that I just found out is that the sound is on, I can hear WM player out of device, but don't have sound for Skype with or w/o headset. As I can connect to call, hear the mic on called phone, the caller hears me but I don't hear the called sound on device or head set???? Im using fling and am connected with wifi, to Skype!
At least it's charging off usb sync, which is one thing that works!
If I can't discuss anothe problem with this New Rom here please move to right place and send a forward!
I really like this board, so I don't want to do anything wrong!
Thanks

Or what?
Oh yea thank you for any replys!
I am also have the same problem.
Hello to all,
I am also have the same problem. Not with the sd card but with the build-in memory. I have installed the windows vista with WMDC 6.0.
I think this problem is with the OS or with the WMDC 6.0.
Because I have an another pc with windows xp installed and there is NO problem with it. Copy and past will work perfect.
I having HTC Wizard that is qtek 9100 with WM6, NBD 9.2 installed.
If any one find the solution please let me know also.
Also conection via bluetooth to WMDC 6.0 it also not possible trying to find the solution but no luck . It will work in fine with winxp but not with the vista.
Please help.........
Many Thanks

Madefree,
I would suggest a couple of things:
- flash a different rom to your device, eg a WM 6.0 from Schaps.
- review the MrVANX guides (www.mrvanx.org).
Let us know how you get on.

Thanks wacky banana,
Well at least I know its not the SD card as I tried another with the same irritating gates error message!
I uninstalled and reinstalled WMDC three times and still no file transfer> I have to do any transfers with a cardreader! So I don't know if I can do an upgrade on the ROM as I really want to (as ATT 6 was really a downgrade!)
Thanks. . . .
I went to that link and they are upgrading the site. The following is stated at the ever begining . . .
.....Now make sure your device is on and activesync (or for vista users the WMDC) is running on your PC, connect up your device and allow it to sync. When this is done run "RUUWrapper.exe":.....
RUUWrapper.exe wasn't a link to a download so I guess "searching" is on really first on the "how to" list!
Thanks for the links and the reply, greatly appreciate any and all help at this point!
Have a good one!
How to upgrade my Qtek 9100 (HTC Wizard)?
Hello,
Sorry I wrote wrong ROM version. It is NBD 9.2 installed, NOT NBD 9.3.
Thanks
Srikanth.k
Well DUH ATT 6 allowed me to copy to a file, but only to inside the SD card from the PC but not to the card directly (root) w/o a folder to put it in!
Active Sync works but not DUH WMDC (whatever) crashed twice in one day so Im stick with clicking on My PC > than on HTC device, than Active Sync works better than DUH other option billy made!
It's a vista thing all DUH way!
Hey wacky banana took you fine advice and downladed Schaps.WWM 6.1 Pro FULL ROM and with the excellent RRU packed with it got RID of ATT's "stuff"
Still can't transfer to root of SD, unless I do it thru a cardreader, but at least I don't have DUH branded bulk! Just need to delete (turn off duh startup sounds, so everyone around don't growl at me when I reboot!
Mighty fine ROM thx for the suggestion . . . . gotta do a donate!
Later!
Copy file worked!
Hello
The problem was with the K-a-s-p-e-r-s-k-y AV that I was been installed. It was blocking me to copy the files to my PDA. When I uninstalled the app it worked perfect without any errors.
Please anyone know which is the best antivirus.....
Thanks to all.......
