Hi Guys,
I've done some searching of this forum, and can't find anything relating to Tom Tom Go 300's here - so I figure it's safe to post this
I've upgraded to WM6, and everything works wonderfully, but for one thing...
I've a TomTomGo 300 Portable SatNav device, and it doesn't seem to want to work with WM6 - any reasons why? Anything I do to fix it?
When I try and pair the phone and the TTG, it finds the phone - but then comes up with something about there being no required services on the phone. Is this because we don't have DUN on WM6?
Any help/suggestions/abuse appreciated!
Ta!
Matt

hope you get it running soon as you atleast need a TT to find your way '-)
Bah! I thought I'd seen it somewhere but couldn't for the life of me find it.
Will follow that thread then!
Thanks!
Matt
Which TomTom are you using?
Instead of starting a new thread, I'll keep using this regarding navigation options.
I have a Cingular 8525 with the VP3G LSVW rom. Since I've read other threads that the internal GPS chip in the TyTN is hopelessly disabled, I'm wondering what type of TomTom software + gps device is everyone else using? I'm thinking that there is something that can connect via BT or emu to my device that will provide the gps portion and then I can just install software.
Please post what you have and links to products would be even better!
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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299892&highlight=tomtom+freezes
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.
Hi Guys,
I just want to enable the WLAN adapter from my app. Our solution that worked on our old FJS Pocket Loox doens´t work on the htc touch hd. So far I couldn´t find a working solution, maybe anyone of you has an idea or a working solution for my problem.
Greetings,

I am intersted in something like this also
There is a small program which toggles wifi on and off. Maybe this could be called from your app.

I've had somewhere some code that worked on FSC T830, but I think it should be fairly universal. I'll see if I can find it.
Files attached, if I didn't mess up attaching zip archive. Sources are from a certain project where I didn't need to control wifi, but you should be able to understand everything.
I have installed Skype 2.5 for WM on original Artemis O2 XDA.
Skype connects wia wifi, but there is only one way audio. My corespondent can excellent hear me, but I can't hear him, either nothing at all, or only very fragmented audio.
Tested with few different corespondents, and via few wifi hotspots, so problem must be in my Aremis Skype settings.
Fring works ok (audio both ways), so my Artemis hardware seems to be ok.
Anyone having similar problem ? Any hint ? Please help.
Same Problem
I have EXACTLY the same problem as you do. Although i have a different rom version then the original one that comes with O2 xda. I also have skype 2.5, and people can hear me perfectly , but i cant listen to people!

Not yet. And I don't know if this is a hardware or software problem.
Do you think upgrade to WM 6.1 would help ?
artemis and skype
Has anyone resolved how to make work skype on artemis. I can't even pass a echo test? Help please!
Is anyone using Skype 2.5 for Mobile on Artemis (original or upgraded) ?
If YES, than this is a software problem, and perhaps can be resolved with software upgrade.
If NO, than this is a hardware problem, and cannot be resolved.
ANYONE, please info.
Just upgraded Skype to v3.0.0.256 , and still no receiving audio.
Again, is ANYONE using Skype Mobile on Artemis (original or upgraded) ?
ANYONE, PLEASE ?
Hello,
I have an ATT 8525 and a little usb HOLUX GPS reciver. It seems to work with a little demo app that shows # of satelites, srenght, etc. But, I can't find any street navigationn software to go with it.
I thought I had head of people rrunning TomTom or Garmin on these things but I have not found any software through any channels. All I want is the funtionality of the cheapest TomTom.
Does any body have aby ideas on software a a GPS (Holux) enabled 8125
Thanks PK
If you have an unlimited data plan, you could try google maps. It's not fully like tom tom, but quite usable for navigation.
Thanks.
I unfortunatly do not have the unlimited data plan. I' look into it but I think it was mmore han my DSL.
I had it in my head you could use a pocket pc version or somthing. I had a TomTom stolen 2 weeks after I got it. I like to consolidate everything into one device.
Thanks again. PK
Yup there is a pocket pc version floating around out there. If you keep searching, you'll find it.
And that works eh? I've seen it from specific phones, but not anything univeral sounding. I found a post here about someone having lots of trouble with tomtom.
Mentioned as good was a nav. program called (among other things) "I go8" wich looks o.k., even has "tyne " listed as compatible. Can't find a price for it though.
Thanks again
I use tomtom 7 on my 8525 with an Holux gps receiver and it works perfectly
Thanks, I'd prefer tomtom. Is it just a pocket PC version you used?
PK
I prefer using iGuidance. It's great, a lot faster load times, and it also tells you what side your destination is on....
But they're commercial softwares, so you have to purchase it.
Any other way is illegal, and should not be posted on here, from what I remember, xda-developers doesn't support Pirated software.
Cheers!
Thanks my friend, I look into it. Have to admit I never heard of it...but who am I. As long as they have US maps, I game.
Regards, PK
Quick edit: Went to there site, they have a demo ride....navigating through my proverbial back yard. Answeres one question...
I'm looking for a software with italian maps. Tomtom is quite "heavy" for my 8525. Anyone knows any other software?
Have a look at I-Go8. Very eurocentric and designed for phones and the like. I don't think they even make a box.
