I got my Tom Tom software and BT GPS reciever yesterday.
I installed it and it just ground my XDA2 to a halt. I uninstalled and the XDA2 was back to normal.
My XDA2i arrived today (at last) so I installed the Tom Tom on that (I'm selling the XDA2 if anyones interested).
Problem is I can't now register the Tom Tom to work with my XDA2i. Tom Tom say that the licence is for only one device at a time. This is what I want but they can't release the activation.
I can't believe that they expect customers to buy a new version of Tom Tom when they upgrade devices.
How can I get around this?
I have other software (like Dreamweaver for example) that allows me to to 'park' the activation so I can install on another computer.
Any help will be appreciated.
I followed the link from the HTC website for the discounteded version of the full tom tom 6 WE maps and software etc but when I got the software it appears only to be tom tom home and the maps voivces etc no actual application. The app doesn't appear on the available items to install but everything else is? I've hunted through the disk and tried to find the app but can't.
However TomTom now say the software is on the disk but the Orbit is not compatible, any ideas ? How has everyone else managed to install it?
It's really starting to annoy now I was quite happy to pay for this in preference to the copiolt I could have gotten for free...
I own a MDA Compact III including the TomTom DVD with the map of Western Europe. The application TT 6 itself is indeed not on the DVD. My package also contained a micro SD card, on which the application was installed.

Jamie, The HTC 3300 Taster comes with TT6 preloaded I think, which only gives you 1 city map of your choice, maybe the link you are talking about only adds the Full Maps? I think you need to ring TT Customer Services for them to clarify?
I will PM you
Cheers

Find that very hard to believe, to be honest. My P3300 works a treat and I'm quite sure the Orbit will too, but I'll know more after Christmas when I get back to work and start playing with the one in my desk drawer...
Don't believe everything the experts tell you... ;-)

Install Tom Tom 5
Hi i have just purschased a MDA Compact 3 and wondered if anybody could tell me how to install it through Active Sync. At the moment it just keeps aborting at set up with a Microsoft Problem (Debug / Don't Send). If not could some one please point in the direction of a decent thread to use.
Many thanks in advance
Cheers

Install the files to the card using a card reader rather than Active Sync its more reliable and considerably faster - Mike

go to settings/connections then "USb to PC" . Untick the option (advanced functions..)
I've unticked the box but it still keeps coming up with the same error message. I've tried installing it straight to the micro sd card, but it's not recognising the voices or the map of Great Britain. Help Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tomtom 6 MOBILE is only for Nokia/Symbian Phones.
The Version that you should install is Tomtom NAVIGATOR 6!
TomTom Mobile 6?
With version 6 of TomTom, the distinction between the Mobile and Navigator product line is gone. From version 6, the generic name for TomTom on any device apart from the One or Go is Navigator. Hope to have clarified this.
tomtom 6 on 02 orbit
hi all just to let you ALL KNOW THAT THE TOMTOM 6 NAVIGATOR WORKS FINE ON THE 02 ORBIT WITH NO PROBLEMS I HAVE A 2GB MICROSD CARD WITH TOTOM 6 NAVIGATOR ON IT

TomTom works fine
Hi all, i can confirm TomTom 6 is working flawless on Xda-Orbit. Straight forward installation (copy everything to card and restart the device) only had to select the COM Port from Settings>GPS.

Hi, i've upgraded my Tytn succesfully to WM6 Black Edition, works like a charm, great performance (better then WM5) only one major problem is that i cannot activate Rsap with "sapsettings" that doesn't seem available. I've downloaded the "ActivateMSBluetoothSAPProfile.cab" from another ROM but that gives an error.
Is there a ROM that has "Sapsettings" in the programs? I'd install that one then.
Any help is appreciated. Thnx.
Hi, I've had the same problem after upgrading my Hermes 300 to 3DES.3
I was missing the SAP or rSAP, which I needed for my Passat.
I found an OEM package here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal_WM6_Kitchen_Helmi
and downloaded the btsapprofile (direct link: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/helmi_c/Kitchen_OEM/btsapprofile.v1.45.rar)
Extract the content of this file to your PC. Copy SAPSettings.lnk to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs on your phone.
Copy SAPSettings.exe.0409.mui, sapsettings.htm, SAPSettings.exe, SALib.dll, BtSim.exe to \Windows on your phone.
Go to Programs on your phone - you should find a working link to SAP settings.
This did the trick for me.
Cheers - mgruett
You are my hero! Works 100%. Thank you!
While looking into this issue i found anothern, maybe easier solution together with my collegues (same problem here, for the VW Passat fleet)
Just open this file, unrar, copy .cab file on your Hermes, execute, softreset and off you go.

tested it on 2 Hermes with WM6 and it works flawlessly.
rSAP with TyTN, s620 and Wizard
Hi,
when you're saying "100% working" and "works flawlessly" do you mean you have the Icon in your program folder or is it really working well with your car-kit ? Make phonecalls, Syncs phonebook etc. ???
I've a carkit from THB (bury) since ages in my car and upgraded the phone holders from old nokias up to the LT9100 with rSAP. As rSap pops up, I was 100% sure that this is the solution I'm looking for.
Since 6 months now, I try to get that damn thing working. It always fails with "Sim Card missing / not found". I could pair, it connects to the phone, disables the phone-module, but I couldn't dial a number, nor could I sync the phone book.
I tried it with Blueangel, Wizard, TyTN and my brandnew S620 without succes. I tried it with PPC 2003, WM5 and WM6 Roms, no chance. Of course, I followed the hints in the forum.
I sent the carkit to Bury to upgrade to the latest firmware and guess what ... nothing, always the same problem with Windows Devices, but my Nokia 9300 connects well in a second.
So, bottom line, I'm not sure if it is a Bury Problem with a bad rSAP support for WM or a WM Problem as my Nokia connects well.
Any thought or tipp is highly appreciated
Thanks
Chris
I just tried the download from WDawn (thanks incidentally) and aside from it resetting my background to the windows default, worked just fine. Enabled SAP, gave the phone a poke up the rear and tried it on a Nokia 616 car kit. This car kit uses SAP if available, otherwise falls back to HFP. It quite happily connected via SAP. Next text with be the Mercedes Bluetooth module, which would have to be the fussiest car unit I've ever come across and it only supports SAP (no HFP, HSP.. or other fall back).
The phone used is a DoPod 838 Pro running the newly released official WM6 ROM. I never had this success with the cooked LVSW ROMs that I used in the past.
Alex.
Progress but still troubled

Hello!
I have a HP Ipaq 914c and having troubles connecting with the VW Passat.
Here are the steps that I have made so far. Any help will be much appreciated.
1) Initialy on the VW menu searched for BT phones. Detected mine but whenever I selected it, returned back with the message: "Phone not compatible"
2) Dicovered here this tool BTSAP_Test, installed on the Ipaq and activated the "Remote SIM Access" checkbox button
3) VW now is able to pair with the phone (after inputing the 16 code number) but immediatly after pairing says that "Bluetooth is not activated on phone" ...
4) Looking on BT devices in IPAQ I can now see a device named "VW UHV PREM", but the only available service to use for this device is "Dialup Networking".
Am I missing something ? Thanks.
Having just bought a Tytn I found that my tomtom 6 didn't work. I seemed to have two issues. 1) It hung up frequently and 2) It kept losing my external bluetooth GPS receiver.
I thought I'd go to Tomtom's page to see if there was a fix given that HTC mention this saying that Tomtom have updated version 6 for the device.
http://www.europe.htc.com/en/htctytn/support/faq.html?id=539&cat=applications
To my horror I I found this page which suggests that the device is not supported, never has been and never will be. The reason according to Tomtom is due to an agreement with HTC,
http://www.europe.htc.com/en/htctytn/support/faq.html?id=539&cat=applications
I am trying to catch up on this device so am swamped by data at the moment but this is a real blow to me as one of the main priorities is to run Tomtom 6. When I bought the device I assumed that it was just a pocket pc with a phone in it. Seemingly I am wrong as there appears to be differences with the hardware or Tomtom checks the device it's running on and presumably refuses to work properly.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how ( if at all to get around this issue). Currently my device still has mobile 5 but I am ploughing through the plethora of information on this site trying to figure out exactly what I should and shouldn't do. I've a lot of catching up to do..
Any advice / suggestions would be most welcome, it seems too strange a concept to be locked out of running a pc app just because of the hardware it's running on.
EDIT: Apologies moderator this probably shouldn't be posted in the wm6 thread even though I am intending to move over and would like to use tomtom on that. Please move it if necessary.

Try a search on the Hermes forum. I found lots of stuff.
I found THIS ONE . But there were MANY others. Some users reported success with some ROMs.
Don't fret, it works fine on mine... Are you running a WM6 image - you may wish to upgrade to wm6 if you're not. (or downgrade to TT5.....)
Treat the issue as 2 separate problems, bluetooth related loss of GPS unit, and the stability of the TT6 software.
There are any number of other applications that will let you connect and read signals from the GPS unit, try these to see if you have a faulty gps unit or if its TT playing up.
Once you're happy with this look at the TT issue.....
I have 2 Varios II and I can admit that I had some issues with TT6 with WM5. TT liked to freeze when I was typing in the address or browsing through menus. When I changed to WM5 AKU3.2 it was better, but still not perfect. Eventually, it was WM6 that helped me. Now TT6 is running without any issues (of course it can freeze from time to time when I have too many programmes running in the background). Just try any of new WM6 and everything should be fine.
I had TT5.21 which people said run fine which didnt on wm6 but TT6.1 works fine
Long time since i've been on here but while i was browsing about, i saw this problem. All i can suggest is using the inbuilt GPS and see how that works? I have TT6 as well and i have used it perfectly well on an XDA Mini, XDA Orbit, SPV M700, HTC Touch, HTC TyTn II... seems a bit odd that you're having these problems. Have you since cured the fault or is it still being a bit of a ****bag?!
While i'm here... anyone got the latest maps at all for TT6? Shout me on [email protected] if you have any info on TT6 or need any PDA / Pocket PC help.

Yeah, I had established that the gps was working fine, I've been happily using it on my ipaq 2210 for ages. Then with the Hermes testing with gpsgate and some other stuff showed no problems.
The problem I had was that my TT6 was a 2GB SD card version and I didn't have micro SD big enough to test it. I had about 1hour to play with my friend's one and that's when I discovered the two problems.
He lent me the card to play with this evening and I've made a little progress now. I've sorted the flakey GPS operation, primarily by changing the com port, deleting the pairing and pairing again. So far that's not dropped out since.
Tomtom runs but freezes, this appears to be a confirmed problem which I hope that WM6 will solve as (mean-machine) suggests.
I feel a lot happier that the damn thing runs at least. The freezing appears to be related to cpu usage as I find that that zooming right out on a map is a good way to cause this to happen. The menu screens can be a problem too and the rest appear intermittent. As others have stated in other threads, hitting the red button and then switching back to TT will free it up.
I guess the next thing is to study the Wiki and try an make sense of the order things need to be done to put WM6 in, which Rom if any, which version of WM6. ... Information overload, so I think I need to take it slow and ingest the data .
Thanks for all the replys guys, it amazes me how much support HTC has and how many of you are passionate about them. Up till a few months ago I had never heard of HTC, now I doubt I'd consider anything else.

I have been using TomTom 6 on my Imate Jasjam (TyTn) both with WM5 and many versions of WM6. It works flawlessly never missing a beat. What com port are you using? Have you turned off secure connection?
@louiscar: a good place to start with upgrading info (to avoid the overload) is THIS SITE . Great guides that make it simple.

Hi rbin,
I've currently got the GPS panel set to 'program port = com2', 'hardware port = com0' and my bluetooth gps is set to 'outgoing = com0'
Currently this works well so the GPS issue has been resolved.
Tomtom on the other hand freezes pretty much as described here:

and in a number of other threads.

Great link, thanks Todd. Reading glasses are on already.
TT6 w/Pharos and Holux recievers work great
I've an AT&T Tytn upgraded to WM6 and have no troubles with my Holux or Pharos receivers and TT6.
Everything works great EXCEPT issues with data connections such as TT Buddies or traffic. This isn't unique to the PDA version of the software though, as I also have a standalone TomTom GO 910 paired with the phone and it works almost okay as a bluetooth speaker phone, but constantly has trouble getting a good data connection.

I have used TT6 on my MDA VArio II (TyTn) for almost a year...no problem. Now I have the TyTn II
Same here.. been using Tom tom 6 on my Tytn since the day i installed wm6, no problems here, works like a charm!
HEAT???
I have been using TT6 on my Imate JASJAM running the DOPOD WM6 ROM without much trouble (no hanging etc). The only problem I am experiencing is huge power drain and the unit being physically hot when running TT. Maybe this power drain and potential overheating can cause some units to hang and playup, or potentially any unit given the right environment!
Anyone else finding their units getting a bit hot?
I've been using TT6 on my Tytn (MDA Vario II) almost one year now. No problems. Started using TT6 while running WM5, upgraded to WM6 (schaps rom), reinstalled TT6 and it just continued as before. No problems, no hangups no freezing. I've been using all kinds of different charts with TT6, so I don't think the problem is with TT.

Going to try your settings too, cause on all WM6 roms I tried I keep losing my GPS BT connection. I'm not damn sure it got nothing to do with TT6. But when I delete my gps and reconnect it while TT6 is up and running, TT will find the gps straight away. So imho it's the BT connection that fails and not TT.
It's really annoying though.
Cheers, M
I have been running TomTom Navigator 6 on my JASJAM for some time. The hanging problem described is probably caused by having all the Points Of Interest (POI) active.
Go into the TomTom settings menu and de-activate ALL the POIs. Try it, then only turn on the ones you actually require.

Doesn't work either. Seems that after a soft-reset the BT connection with my GPS is f*d. Very strange because the BT headset doesn't suffer any of this. Maybe time to buy a new GPS, but with WM5 I never experienced this behaviour.
I found that with tt6 you need to have the WM6 internal gps settings set to "None" for both program and hardware port. Then make sure the box is checked in the last tab so it autodetects the com ports. Once all this is set and you goto add a bluetooth gps device in tt6 it gives you the option to use com port 0. select this port and it should detect your gps unit with no probs. Been running tt6 on my 8525 with tnt's latest cooked rom and things couldn't be running smoother.
Edit: On another note. I used to use Telenav with my 8525 with the original at&t rom. I had the worst luck with that application. I would constantly lose my gps connect and I almost always had to do a soft-reset to get it working again. It is quite possible that Telenav was not the issue and that the particular rom I was using had bluetooth connection issues that were resolved when I switched to a cooked rom such as the tnt one. So for those using tt6 with BT connection problems you may want to try a different rom and see how your luck goes.
Hello,
I'm struggling with the installation of tomtom 6 on the blackstone . After loading all the maps and software to the phone, and installing the ttn.cab file on the device, the setting windows (for choosing the map, the language, and retrieving the activation code) appears only on a 1/3 of the screen making it impossible to read the activation code. The settings windows also seems to be repeated 3 times on this 1/3 screen.
I have looked evrywhere on xda and other websites without finding a answeer/solution to this problem. As anyone experience the same problem ? Can anyone help me with this issue ?
satnav
Hello quite simply TomTom 6 does not work, how ever I am running tomtom navigator 7 and its works like a charm including going from portrait to landscape. I also found Copilot 6 that came with my p3300 (Orbit) works a treat. As does GARMIN XT but I didn’t like as my bike satnav system Garmin Zumo and I don’t like that either it becomes clear why I don’t like that system if you use both tomtom and garmin
Where did you got tomtom 7 ? On the tomtom website they're still selling tomtom 6.

sorry for the delay in this reply this is due that im now in canada for 3 months on my snowboarding holiday. as for navigator 7 lets say it found its way off the internet on to my computer torrentpond.com
TomTom 6 Working for me
I had the same problem as the original poster, TomTom opens in the top third and is all messed up and unreadable.
Then I found and have installed WVGAFIX3 (search for it) and my TomTom Navigator 6 is working fine, although only on about 2 thirds of the screen, still pretty big.
OEM version of TomTom 6.033 (8358, included in official WM6.1 Polaris ROM upgrade) works with no problems in HD. No registery tricks were needed, just copy and paste \TomTom folder. It rotates fine with the Gyrator2.
