Linking Contacts and Tom Tom

Hi,
Is there a way that we are able to go to the contacts in the HTC-P3300 and hold the contact so that it links with the Tom Tom to navigate to that specific destination?
Thanks,

I don't know about going TO TomTom FROM contacts, but you surely can do it from within TomTom:
With TomTom active, tap the screen to bring up the options menu. Then click "Navigate To." Now go to the second page in that menu and you should see the "Contact" option. Click it to browse your contacts and navigate directly to the ones for which you have addresses. It's pretty cool!
Good Luck!

While in Contacts list, long click on a contact with an address and a menu will pop-up, select "Navigate to".

Hi Zerimar I have tried that however there is no navigate to. I did a factory restore which reinstalled 6.020. I also installed the 6.010 back to 6.020. I have called TT and they are supposed to get back to me.
Thanks,

Stupid me. I replied without checking my device. This options seems not to be available in tt6 but I just installed the PIMAddIn.cab from tt5 and it works.

could you email it to me at [email protected]?
Where do you install it.
Thanks,

I've checked the .cab file with WinCE Cab Manager and I have not found any registry entries. It just installs .dll files in the \Program Files\Contact Navigation\ directory thus it should work on WM5 devices. Remember my device is only running W2003SE.

Hi,
I took the PIMAddIn.cab and installed it in the same folder however when i double click on it all my contacts open up. The navigate to is still not there.

Hi Zerimar,
I followed your instructions. Everything works now.
Thansk a million!!!!!!!!!

Just curious guys, what is the advantage to getting the option within your PIM contact list when TomTom is going to open anyway when you navigate? Why go through all that work to hack an option that is available to you from within the program itself?
Just wondering...

TomTom 6.02 has the "Navigate to contact"option! You do not need extra cabs to do this. When you select "Navigate to" you then use the arrow to the next page, and the 'Contact" option is very clear for you to select.

The original question (in a rephrased fashion) was the possibility of activating tt6 and navigating to the contact's address from Outlook Contacts. This was a feature in tt5. With the small trick, I can have it both ways.

In a way I agree with your line of thought, but when dicin raised the question and I found out that "Navigate to" was no longer an option in Outlook Contacts the idea poped-up. The hack took about a minute and doesn't occupy much space. Now we can have it both ways.

I noticed on the HTC-P3300 using the feature does work however it is slow. That is the only part that is slow. I also noticed that company names do not show up. If you use contacts and calendar heavily through outlook it is much faster than going within TT.

You're welcome dicin. Btw, you can retain the PMAddIn.dll and the PMAddInXXX.dll (XXX=language of choice) and delete the rest.

I think it looks slow because tt has to fist load, etc. What do you mean by comany names do not show up?
Btw, I pm'd you regarding quick gps fix, any ideas?

If I have in my outlook a contact listed by company name only it will show up as a blank listing in the TT contact list.
In the TT it is slow when you type in the contact list letters to find a specific name otherwise everything else is great.
The HTC works very good even though the processor speed. I have been able to have the wifi, gprs, phone mode and GPS navigation on all at once with no problem. It will navigate and receive calls with no problem. The volume is great and the reception is outstanding. I have had many phones and I mean many. I also modd all kinds of Moto phones and this is the first WM5 and must say i am impressed.
I have read your PM.
Where do you want me to send the files? It will be towards the end of the day.
Cheers,

Copy the cab file somewhere in your device, ie. Storage Card. Using an Explorer program, go to where the cab file was saved. Double-click on the cab file and do a soft reset. If you want you can delete the undesired dlls from the folder \Program Files\Contacts Navigation\. Be sure to keep the PIMAddIn.dll and the dll file of your language choice.

Registry tweaks specific to WM6

I did a bunch of the reg tweaks while WM5 was loaded, and it all worked fine. Now Im finding several of them not working correctly, or values not being where I expected them to be. Are there any updated wikis or similar for the common registry tweaks for WM6?
Thanks guys!

why dont you post your tweaks your trying to use that way we can tell you if they are still relevant or not...

disable sms sent text and disable 3g startup animation are the two most annoying I can think of right now. I ran them thru registry yesterday but didnt seem to work. Thanks

Disable SMS Message Sent
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg=1
Disbale Startup Animation
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\Enabled=0
Work just fine for me.

odd, I just did it AGAIN and yet it must not be saving as I did soft reset and animation still went off. When I pull up in Total Comm it doesnt save the settings.. any ideas?

Just did a power cycle and seems to have held. Weird.
Ok but are there any new reg tweaks specific to WM6 in general? thanks guys

There is any registry tweak to get Windows Live messenger connect through Wi-fi instead trying to find GPRS or 3G connection?
That will be nice .

My sms message stored in simcard show in inbox (not shown in wm5) . i feel that the speed of opening the inbox is quite slow and may be caused by reading sim sms. Is it possible to hide sim sms just like hiding sim contact?
Many Thanks!!

what are the settings to make ALL your outlook mail as well as all your POP3 mail go to a Storage Card. not just the attachments, but the whole message.
thanks alot.

as most registry programs dont perform a Hive Flush after making the changes its necessary to perform a power cycle to save the changes...

Forgive me for my innocence, how can i perform a power cycle?
It's just that i want my font to be in the cleartype in the landscape view permanently. It keeps going back to the original non clear type font everytime i turn my phone off or soft reset. I keep on editing HKLM/System/GDI/CleartypeSetting/OffRotation/from 1 to 0

Ditto - which I don't normally clutter up the forum with; however, I want to stress: it did require a POWER cycle to get it to stick.
After that, works on WM6 just like it did on WM5

Need to change Startup Sound
I have At&t Tilt
Does anyone know how to change start Up Sound
I know it has to be a .wav file (is there size limit to it ? )
Need Registry tweak
Had done it before but forgot how i did it
Have tried this, But it doesnt work >>>
Could it be cos i have Kaiser Tweak cab installed
Modify Startup Sound:
Registry: HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation
Key: WAVFile (SZ String Value)
Default: \Windows\T-Mobile startup.wav
New Value: (whatever you want.wav)

WM6 Voice command

Hello, on wm5 I used to be able to assign a voice command to 2 set a voice command for varios applications. For example I have media player set to start media player.
I cant seem to get this to work on wm6
Anyone else ?

Figured it out
Ok, I feel like a tard.
instead of voice command needing to be trained, it reads the program name.
Wich is kind of lame because on wm5 I would jsut say media.
and now i have to say start media player.
...
any comments on this ?

Under WM5 voice command was the same as under 6, are you sure it wasn't voice commander you were using?
With voice command you can say "play [media|album|genre|artist|anything]" if you say "media" it'll ask you for which one you want to play, for album, artist & genre it'll prompt you from the ones in your library.
Finally, you could rename the short cut to "media" and then you'll be good to go

Voice Commander?
Well, it was something default from the tmobile wm5. I could click the right soft key when an application was highlited and say add voice command.
Im curious about this voice commander though, I use the phone media player when i snowboard and that sounds like something awesome to be able to choose genre, playlist etc.
Where can i download it ?

I broke it.
I dont know why , it voice command was working fine. I changed the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway
from OEMAGW.dll to bthag.dll
and rebooted.
after doing this when i hold the home key down it brings up a recording menu to record voice notes I guess.
I changed the registry key back to OEMAGW.dll and rebooted.
The same thing happens . only opens up some record thing.
Can somone explain how to get his work again ?

Reloaded
Just said screw it after mucking with it for a few hours. Perfomed a factory reset and started over.
Wishing i had sprite or something. but its nice to have it all clean and a fresh load of apps....

Keyboard mapping incorrect with vp3G's latest ROM?

I installed VP3G's latest ROM last night, and everything worked smoothly. However, today I ran across an annoying issue. I am not sure if this issue is from VP3G's ROM or anything else causing it. So let me give you a lowdown...
Device: AT&T 8525
ROM Version: Vp3G 3.62.3
Repro Steps:
1) Go to Compose a new email message and type into the message body
2) From the slider keyboard, hit the blue-key to insert symbols in the message (the symbols are represented on the keyboard with blue characters on top of the alphabets. Example, alphabet 'F' has a blue-key '?'. So if you active the blue-key button and press 'F', the symbol '?' should be inserted.)
3) Active the blue key and hit 'F'. Instead of '?', I see '-' (hyphen) inserted into my message! This happens with a few other keys too ('~' inserts '!', etc).
Does this repro with anyone else too? Can someone suggest me a way to fix this?
Thanks!

Use the cingular keyboard map. Use HTCustom v1.7 located http://bgjobconsult.110mb.com/cab/HTCustom1.7.cab install and use it to set your keyboard to cingular.

and a friendly advice: next time try the search feature of the forum before you write such a lengthy note. It will save you a lot of time.

Good advice about the searching or try the wiki.

The ROM customizations already contain the mapping corrections, so either you cancelled something or it didn't install properly. There is also a version of HTCustom included in the System Tools folder which can be used to set the keyboard, although it shouldn't be necessary.

Thanks guys... that fixed the problem.
Sorry for the inconvinience. I will ensure that I search and/or check the wiki next time.

I uninstalled HTCustom after installing your ROM... I think that must have caused it.

Location & Time stamps

Hi All,
Searched high and low but can't find the answer and I'm a complete newb.
I have two small problems with my unlcoked AT&T HTC Tilt 2
1. After trying numerous radios 'my location' still does not update in the weather feature (currently using vers 4.48.25.20), just hangs then with USB I get 'connection error' message
2.Time stamps on SMS and MMS are way out of whack with when messages were actually sent or recieved.
Useing NRGZ8's ROM version 21.FEB.2010 WWE. I'm in AUST
Any help appreciated
Steve

1. Why are you getting a usb error when using weather?
2. Are your time zone and dst settings correct in settings-clocks and alarms?
If so then try this reg edit:
HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\
set the value for TrustTimeZoneField to 0 (decimal)
If that key isn't there, then go ahead and create it and soft reset.

Thanks fone_fanatic,
1.No idea why I'm getting a 'connection error' when the USB is connected and I try to update location or even if/how it's related. I've since tried another Radio (4.49.25.05) and found in another thread that I need to have wifi enabled even if not connected...that seems to work..for now.
2. All settings are correct, looked at reg edit and seems that I need to create Trust time zone bit as you suggest...beyond me at the moment so I'll read more on reg edits.
thanks for your help

oh so you had the device plugged in via USB and were trying to update weather/location while its plugged in.
Yeah, activesync/device center will kill your data connection when connected to the device unless you change the settings.
as for reg edits. They're quite easy, not too much harm can be done, unless your just browsing through the registry and changing/deleting values that you don't know what they do.
Don't let it intimidate you.
a popular free registy editor is PHM registy Editor or Total Commander (which is also a powerful file explorer)
Whichever reg editor you use, simply browse to the folder (folders in the registry are called keys)
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\"
then create a new "Dword Value" and name it "TrustTimeZoneField" and give it a value of 0
exit it out, Soft Reset (generally a good idea to soft reset after editing the registry) and you should be golden.
Also there is a cab floating around, just can't find it at the moment, that adds the value for you, search for Message Time stamp and it you might find it.
best of luck

regedit worked for me, also try searching for "text message driving me crazy" it has the cab file i believe.
