Chaps/Ladies (do we have any?!),
I've been using TT5 for a couple of weeks now, and have a strange problem! Every now and then, randomly, TT5 will just exit whilst navigating. I drove 170 miles yesterday and it closed itself four times, the phone was off on three of the four occasions, as was wifi and BT.
I've also had it freeze once or twice. The display just stops updating, though I can still tap the screen and exit cleanly. This used to happen more frequently with TT3.
I've only run TT5 on the new 1.40 ROM.
Anyone else suffering?
TIA
Dan
I have the same problem. Also running 1.40, tomtom sometimes just exists

Argh! Another quirk. I think I'm gonna sell my XDA2s on Ebay, and buy a map, a diary, and a Nokia 1110. :lol:
I use TT5 daily & have never had a problem with it exiting. The display occasionally freezes, butI think I can put this down to when the traffic info is being updated because it only happens occasionally & it unfreezes after about 30 seconds or so

Are you on the same ROM as us, 1.40? I don't use TomTom Traffic, so that can't be related to my problem.
Thanks for replying

Off topic
I have a question and it's off topic (sorry guys) Can you use TomTom 5 for just driving directions? Do you need to have the GPS unit?

My experience is that TomTom 5 will not start calculating a route without a valid GPS device attached - I'm just going to verify that though

Well that shows how much I know about TomTom 5 . It is definitely possible to generate driving instructions without a GPS device attached 8) .
Go into the "Advanced Planning" option and simply pick your start and end points. You will then have a route that you can display as text, images etc, or even "demo" the route i.e. simulate it at speeds from 10% to 500% of "real time"

I had same problem. Try to switch off showing a POI. I switch it off and TT5 works fine.

Ah right Which POI? Or just all POI's?
Thanks
Dan
I switch off all POI.
Thank you.
Thanks Weasel. I'll go ahead and load TomTom5 before my GPS arrives.
I have an XDA IIs with TT3, after i first installed it noticed it would crash randomly, which became really really annoying. After messing around with settings and 3rd-party software, i got nowhere. So I removed the **** O2 software that comes with the IIs, low and behold no more crashing.
Is this also the case for TT5, I would like to know before upgrading?
Don't really want to have to turn off the POI's to make it work.
This is all pretty interesting. I'm running a 1.40 O2 ROM and TomTom is not-as-stable-as-it-could-be. I'm going to do some more qualitative analysis to try and work out which of the crappy O2 software is the culprit - or if it's TomTom itself.
We've got quite a few XDAIIs here and both of the ones with TomTom are flakey. More details to follow...
[edit] Should have said - this is TomTom Navigator 5, with both bluetooth and wired GPS receivers.
AFAIK, the O2 Active software produces a memory leak. There are suggestions that TTN5 also produces a memory leak on 640x480 VGA devices. Perhaps the two are interacting? (Yes I know the XDA2s isn't VGA). Try monitoring available RAM while TTN5 is running. If it constantly reduces it will reach a point where the s/w crashes.
Where are we?
@ all:
Anyone know a solution to this problem? Apparently we need to use the POI.dat file from earlier installations, i.e. 4 or 3 and it will only crash 1% of the time. Until there is a patch for this we will have to settle for this solution it seems.
BTW, does anyone happen to have the POI.dat file for the Benelux map, version 3 or 4? I seem to have "misplaced" my cd with the map on it, anyone can help a brutha out? PM me?
Cheers in advance!
I've switched off POI ( that's NP for dutch users ) so it's stable now.
Any word on the arrival of a patch for this problem?

Can you provide me with the above link that works please?
has anyone else experienced the following:
the camer app on my orbit used to work ok but now keeps saying 'camera' is not a valid poclet pc application. every time i press the camera button or launch the app.
i have the following apps installed:
pocket weather
e mobile tv
wifi companion
batterystatus
oper browser
tom tom
02 custom
tried everything to get the camera working and if i install coolcamera it works exept the origional cam app is better than coolcamera. anyone know how to get it back ie in the registry or anywhere else
Same for me. A hard reset and restore from backup did not work. So I did a hard reset and reinstalled everything from scratch. Now the camera works again with the built in application.
I have the same problem, now.
Are there any other solutions as a hard -reset in the meantime?
I had the same problem, too. I did a hardrest without the micro-sd-card and then a restore with sprite backup - after this it works - no camera problem.
good job, uliba.
It works for me. Thanks.
Had this problem before too.
After many tries I realized that it occurs when phone was overclocked with batterystatus (247Mhz). Since 2 weeks, when I use the camera I go back to 201mhz and no problems anymore with the camera.
Hope it could help.
Thank you, Doume, but...
I never had overclocked my phone, so there must be another reason.
Present Camera Problem
Hello, I just got my O2 ORBIT (1) from ebay... Yeah yeah, I know it's outdated, but I'm not so rich, and my hands were itching to get a touchscreen GPS device... So now I got O2 ORBIT with WM 6.1 and when I try lauch camera using the side button it gives me the error (Error locating the target filename). When I try to launch camera cia Programs/camera it just gives me a glimpse of white screen and returns to programs... Any1 knows how to fix this without a hard reset? Any hotfixes released up to this day? Or maybe it doesn't work because of WM 6.1?

I have got here a upgraded Artemis and it just does not want to work properly with GPS. All the satellites are in the north point and it never gets a valid signal. I have already tried to flash it to the black & blue ROM but it still happens. The navi software i am using is TomTom 6.032.
Anyone got an idea what to do? It never works, not even on the street.
This fix is for SPV M650(ARTEMIS)

In This plase-contacts of your internal GPS antena

With GPS of my SPV M650 I fought 2-3 weeks
I have more another program-but these basic = think this is enough
I have done all of that but nothing helps. I simply can't get my GPS to work. IT shows me that all the satellites are in the north position and that is about it. I have changed the firmware and i have used all the fixes recommended here including GPS reset with no success. When i connect my BT received it works fine but that is not the point of having inbuilt GPS
I really hope someone can help me to get this damn phone working. Would it work better with WM05? If so has anyone got a link to it?
Thanks again to everyone helping in here.
I haved some problem=one satelit in north!
my problem was in contacts of antena!!!
Try to connect outside antena(back side connector!) i think you have some problem like my

Otherwise, i'll explain in english cause I had the same problem:
I tried with the first Kulbutor patch (in my link)
If you install it just after the flash; there is no problem.
Moreover, if you are using Orange with AGPS, it works also. after having install the Orange.cab
Be carefull you must wait this (or these) install(s) before running tomtom; otherwise, it won't work
Hoping it will help you,

Thanks for the help. There is no Link in your Link. The link does not work at all. Please repost it. Thanks

GPS problem with GPS cam
Hello,
I just installed the artemis touch 4.02 WWE on my XDA I orbit. Everythings works fine, also Tomtom and visualGPS. But the GPS cam seems to be not able to start built in GPS when launching camera for GPS photo. The first time when I started the GPS cam, a pop up appeared with message "initializing GPS" or something like that, and I cancelled it by tapping cancel button. Now GPS cam is not working any more. Will this fixes solve my problem?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Up!
Theme is opened!
Hello every one, thanks for the great work tou guys are doing out there..
Well i have XDA orbit2 which my brother was using in UK. i stay in india and i got this phone from him. i upgraded it to wm6.1 from xa official site. everything works fine except GPS. I had uninstalled Copilot Live 7 as they don not have maps covering India. i've tried with Googlemaps, NoniGPS, GPSlocation, visual GPSce but none of them gives a fix. ( the com port is detected and the amber led also flashes, but the device keeps searching for satellites. i tried GPStest which detects com 4 as gps port and then the screen remains at starting up GPS.
i've tried hard reset but no good. The GPS used to work fine with copilot live. Will downgrading to WM6.0 help?? If yes then how do i do it and where can i find the rom image for same??
Any help will be great;y appreciated. THANKS EVERYONE!!
HELLOOO.... is any one listening.. can any one pls help me!!
at least guide me to any similar thread...
i've searched every possible forum... no results
