Hi,
after a quick search im struggling to find info.....
Please bear with me...
1) does anyone have a link to a GPRS counter that will work with my phone??? i fownloaded and paid for 1 that doesnt work..... (all locations GPRS counter) as its says it is not a windows CE app....
2) Is there a rom update for the M1000 that will allow voice dialling like the 02 rom update??? or what would the implications of using the 02 rom update be?
3) i saw a link a while back regarding the flashing bluetooth light, is there anyway of turning it off?
Many thanks for being patient with me.....
GPRS Counter
Try using spb GPRS Monitor (www.spbsoftwarehouse.com) You can use for 15 days on demo. This was the program that was supplied with the original xda. Works perfactly on my XDA II.
Hope this helps.
1. many programs you download are exe for the pc which then use activesync to copy the files to the pda
make sure that you are not trying to run pc exe files on your xda otherwise it will give you that error

hhhmmm there should be an icon in the left corner where you can turn off bluetooth that makes the light stop blinking
of cause it also disable bluetooth but if you need bluetooth and worry about the power it takes to make the led blink then dont it dont use much power, having bluetooth on does however
I installed TomTom 5 on my qtek 9090 and when I choose navigate to address there is no screen keyboard. I think it detected the external keyboard and therefore is not showing it.
Anyway to get the screen keyboard working ?? :?:
:idea: Try the following...
In register of PDA..
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell
Change..
HasKeyboard value from 1 to 0
To get to the register u can use the following app.
Registry Workshop from http://www.torchsoft.com
Install this on your PC and use file / Connect to register of mobile device
(Active sync must be connected to the device
Good Luck!
No luck
Didn't work
Changed > softreset >no keyboard
reinstalled >no keyboard
tt 4.4
I have the same prob with TomTom 4.4 and my Qtec 9090.
Hope someone comes up with a fix.
How is TT5, I was waiting to see if it was a lot better than 4.4 or much the same.
No I dont have the prob anymore. Changed to 0 rebooted and changed to smaller keybord in TT 4 and there it was.
Thanks DVB works fine and just in time for a 4 day weekend driving around up nth Holland. :lol: :roll: :wink:
How the HELL did you get TomTom Nav 5 so quickly?!?!?!

I have the same problem with TT5.
I have asked the fench support of Tomtom and they replied to me that there was no issues for this at that time.
It is due to the fact that tomtom developpers have made the choice to consider the QTEK 9090 or similars like a Keyboard PPC (like HP6500 or Treo 650) to limit the number of version... that's what they said ... :shock:
As the QTEK 9090 do show a virtual keyboard on Street Number search or on reg screens and not on Town or Street name sreens, i do think that there is actualy a bug on QTEK 9090. It is also disapointing to try to type a poste code search with the hardware keyboard as when i press the "Fn" key i got a nice "Ñ" or when i press the "Shift" i got a "Ò"...
I think we should send a lot of request to the Tomtom support to have a chance to see an update in a future relaese (It could be an option whithin the parameters for exemple...)
...
Hi,
It was even worse in my case (I upgraded my Rom 1.22.556 to 1.40.553 since release of new Dutch retail a few days ago):
- As already mentioned the Registry hack (see reply from DVB4Free) works only for 4.4 version and not 5.0. I am still looking for a work-around to get my on-screen keyboard back while I wanna type a location/street to navigate to.
- Despite the fact I am using TomTom bluetooth receiver, I can't get my Qtek9090 connected to TomTom as long as I select the TomTom BT icon in wizard interface. After a lot tries I figured out that it only works if I select the 3th Icon (general bluetooth receiver) and not the second icon (the small silver color TomTom BT receiver). Isn't this odd?
- My 'Navigate To' item in Contacts popup menu is gone for good. It was working on TomTom 3.07 (and even on 4.4 so far I can remember). But since upgrade to v 5.0 I can't navigate to someone's address from my Contact list.
regards,
- Avareh
on screen keyboard
DVB4Free, dude is there nothing you can do to fix this problem? I tried it on TomTom 4 and it worked fine, after altering the key from 1 to 0 it worked. I have an XDA 2s and now I've just installed TomTom 5 I can't navigate to anything!
Cheers!
Anyone had any luck with this yet?

Success!!!

I have found that if you download the Great_Britain.postal file the Fn & Shift keys work ok so you can enter numbers
And also the added benefit of 7 digit postcodes, not sure about ppl who cant find a postal file for their own country though. But it worked for me so give it a try...
pscomp - I am new to all this :shock: , but just got tt5 and I also have a MDA III. Can you explain what you did to get the keys working.. Thanks in advance...not sure what you mean about the download etc...wherefrom and where too?
Hi,
I can't remember where I downloaded the file from. Ive tried to upload it but I think the ftp is down :? . But it looks like it may be here ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Blueangel/
All you do is create a folder called zip on your SD card and put the file in there. That is assuming you are using the Great Britain Map. I will keep trying to upload the file though.
Hope this helps you
Yay, got the file uploaded.
All you should need to do is download the file, unzip it and then stick it in the zip folder on your SD card.(That is assuming you are using the Great Britain Map)..
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/
The file is called GreatBritain.zip

same happens to me when I install 1calc
I bought a new TT5 UK BT kit that arrived yesterday.
I (obviously) have the ZIP file on the SD card and I still don't have an onscreen keyboard. The odd thing is, I'm pretty sure I did have an onscreen keyboard during the installation, as I used it to enter my "home" location.
I've logged a bug report with TomTom, if they come back with anything useful I'll let you know.

Hi all,
The problem most of us experience is that microsoft removed the function of configuring com ports in their Pocket PC Version 4 build.
I have a program that can sort out the com port problems between the bluetooth and gps software.
I have included the program as an attachment, just unzip it into your PC, make sure you reboot your PDA, sync your PDA to the PC and run setup.
Problems solved.
Cheers,
John
i thought it was only the automatic comport handleing that was removed so you just have to manually set a com port it 2 second of a job
XDA comports
It seems that Microsoft left out our ability to configure com ports altogether. If you try and do a manual configuration with the GPS software it will drive you crazy. I have had so many emails at my hotmail account from people with problems that I have sent this program to and it has fixed thier problem. That is why I decided to put it up here.
Cheers,
John
Hi,
I have downloaded and installed the file to my PDA
What else do i have to do?
The read me file is in a different language and i cant read
Thanks

Bluetooth GPS problem
I have updated the zip file to include a new readme file.
Please follow the instructions.
Unzip file to PC
Reboot PDA.
Sync PDA to PC.
Run Setup.exe
Problem should be fixed, if not reinstall GPS software.
Cheers,
John
Hi John,
Thanks for that.
I tried it and it doesnt appear to have fixed it.
I installed the patch rebooted phone, removed TomTom6 and reinstalled and still cant connect to bluetooth headset, uninstall TomTom6 put on TomTom5 and works, back to 6 still no go.
Any other suggestions?
Cheers
Hi Cozza,
Sorry you are still having a problem, only thing I can suggest is to see if anyone else has a similar problem with TomTom 6, if so you may have to contact them direct and ask for technical assistance.
Just had another thought, could Tom Tom 6 be taking over the port assigned to the headset by default, if so maybe installing the headset after TomTom 6 might work???
Cheers,
John
Hi John,
Yep i have tried that.
Have formatted the phone several times both installing the Bluetooth Car Kit before and after TomTom 6 and still no luck.
TomTom 5 works fine but as soon as updated to TomTom6 Car Kit wont connect, it finds it but just 'connection failed'.
Remove TomTom6 and thinks work OK.
Weird....
Hmmm - What should be different?
I've installed this application, but I still don't see anyway to change either:
1. which port the bluetooth app assigns to the connection (currently port 7)
2. the selection of ports available from TomTom 5.21 to make a connection.
Like everyone else, I've gone through all the port options in TomTom, and it still doesn't connect to the GPS. Other GPS software (everything else I've ever tried - a LOT of software) has no problem connecting to my GPS, so this is obviously a TomTom problem.
Thanks!

I made Headway!
I finally found something to help!!
http://www.tomtom.com/support/category.php?ID=3&Language=1&FID=3236
The above is a step-by-step guide. The key for my HP6325 (63xx series) was to not connect to BlueTooth, but "Other NMEA GPS." After that, the port connection through Bluetooth worked.
Yeah!

It was all working fine up to last week when my sim card packed up, since I've put the new one in it can't find my GPS.
Can anybody please help, before I sling it out the window.

hi

Wizard GPS settings after GPS in phone is unlocked
I own a T-Mobile MDA (Wizard) with the 3-0-0 upgraded ROM and need the GPS settings after GPS in phone is unlocked. Anyone know how to do this?
I bought my Hermes a couple days ago, and of course the first thing I did was get rid of WM5 for WM6.
The system runs great and I can actually read English, unlike Kanji.
One exception to my high praise is Internet Sharing... the TyTn ROM I flashed the system with seemed to come with a broken sharing app... no big deal, I went on the internet and downloaded it, installed it, and proceeded to watch it not work. The app actually DOES launch now, but when you press the connect button, it quickly cycles on, then back off in the matter of about a second.
If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.... I need tethered internet as soon as possible!
Thanks in advance.
Just a quick bump, anyone think they know why my internet sharing won't stay on?
Oh also, my phone tells me that it detected an unknown USB device attached to it and asks for the driver.. even when it's not connected to anything.
Problems with internet sharing
I also have problems with internet sharing on my Hermes (MDA Vario II) with WM6 Black Satin. Most of the times once I have disconnected from the internet and try to connect later it doesnt connect saying it can not connect due to some unknown reason. Only after a software reset does it begin to work again. Never had this problem on WM5 and have tried closing Activesync completely before reattempting a connection to no avail.
Anybody with an understanding of the problem or solution ?
i've got a rather stupid problem.
first of all, i got the orig. O2 XDA Orbit WM6 rom on this toy
so no weird, tuned firmware or anything unknown..
i wanted to sync my artemis with my "old" computer (new is a mac.. doenst work verry well) runing XP home SP2. It worked for months perfectly, worked with WiMo5 and 6. It actually DID work!
Normaly i use the USB for syncing, then i got lazy a few weeks ago and changed it to BT. I had quite a fight to get i work but in the end it worked fine and wireless...
Then i did not sync it for about a month. And today i wanted to sync it again.
BT Dongle wasn't anywhere to find so i plugged in the USB. The Display "light up" so everything is normal... Active Sync starts to turn (the icon in the Systray, next to the clock). After a few minutes AS wrote that there is no connection. I re-plugged the USB. No change. I uninstalled AS and installed the latest version directly from MS's homepage. No change!
I tried it with BT. The BT on my computer recognized a artemis. wow! great! AS starts and my BT Connection-software tells me "connection cancled". Damn!
I changed the Computer. No running a Win Vista HomePremium 32bit, plugged the phone in, it recognieses some thing (4 i think it was...)
But i can't find the phone. No problem, so i thought. I downloaded from MS the Mobile Device Center. unplugged an plugg it in again - no change!
Somehow my phone is not recognized as phone for AS.
The Battery is charged now so, some things work and some thinks not.
I need the sync! Win XP oder Vista doesn't matter. But how the hell i get this thing to work again?!
I deleted now all "connections" in AS on the Computer an on the Artemis.
So actually it should tell me that i have to configure what to sync. but it doesn't!
Anybody an idea what might be wrong?
Do you charge ur Artemis in a car? its a common problem that having your phone on charge whilst starting the engine causes the USB control board to get damaged, so you can still charge, but the USB connection doesnt work for Syncing.
Needs a new USB board if this is the case, which is covered by warrenty, or can be repaired for around £20 (phone repair shops).
i often charge my phonein the car.
it never made any problems - until now!
i should contact my provider (o2) and make them repair my phone?!
yeh, as long as your phone is under a year old, O2 will repair for free (under warrenty)
first of all - dont be so pessimistic, make a backup/hard reset and check again.
It is a usual problem( at least, for me) if you use your pda to sync with several computers via diff ways.
Had a similar problem with a faulty connector on an Xda IIi which was 3 months old and had lots of trouble getting it repaired under warranty.
The problem is that they send it off to a repair depot who analyse the fault and then come back to you a couple of weeks later saying it's your fault and that they will not repair it under warranty i.e. you've got to pay.
A couple of letters and a call to Customer Retentions did the trick though
when it *first* happened to mine, i sent mine off to T-Mobile in a bag that they sent me, and 2 days later is was back again, fixed!
i've got to say that T-Mobile seem to have good servicing, not that the products should need repairing in the first place!
Have you tried a different cable?
I have one cable that only allows me to charge (must be damaged somehow) but all the others work fine with it.
i tried 4 cabels!
i wrote an email to o2 --> no answer yet
hard reset will be next thing to do. normal reset is done, no change!
but mayB o2 will simply give me a new one
i wouldn't mind
try, as well, to delete all partnerships, on pc and pda as well
I get that problem randomly also.
I've had it happen on 2 different computers, Win 2k Pro, Win XP Pro, Active Sync 4.2, Active Sync 4.5, WM5, WM6...
The best solution for any problems with any combination I had was REBOOT THE COMPUTER.
Worked every time.
they are delted.
no change
o2 wrote an email:
un-check the "hook" in settings - connections - usb2pc
or
hard rest should help
well as far as i know, i checkt the usb2pc thing, un-checked, checked it again... i tried quiet a lot. so this won't help
hard reset will be done as soon as i find out how to save all the sms, mms from the phone... anybody an idea?
to save your messages?
about sms - "jeyo mobile companion" will surely help you
mms? try sktools - i saw there backup of pocket outlook folders.
br
thank you.. jeyo helped
has anyone repaired his device usb already.Could you post where is the best place and cost to repair XDA Orbit's USB.
Thank You
First time I connected my phone to the PC, ActiveSync didn't work. Same simptoms, battery was charging, but no connection from AS. Turned out "DHCP Client" service was stopped in Windows. Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services. See if the status of that service is "Started". It is by default.
Hi, thanks for your suggestion.all the system services are ok.I have orbit 2 and syncs like a charm.the orbit 1 unfortunately lost that ability due to a car charging problems as described above.I need to send it for repair but don't know where and how much that would cost me.
Thanks
MY GOD.... you mean it's a KNOWN fact the car charger ruins your artemis...
does this happen with 5V 1amp charger
or with a normal "usb" charger 5V 0.5amp....?!
both for car use.
car charging shouldnt be a problem if you plug it in AFTER you started the car (dont blame me though). when starting the car, there seem to be some possibility of high current peaks that can damage your device. i guess it also depends on the car...
I am not a very tech person but what I read in this forum is showing that exactly when you start the engine and your artemis is pluged in to the charger this thing happens.
I did hard reset, tryed 3 diferent usb cables and still no reacton.It is definately a hardware problem Mr Samov.
