Hi
I have (had) a Dutch version of HTC Diamond from Vodafone and flushed it with official 1.93 HTC WWE ROM. The problem is, the original Vodafone ROM came with Tomtom 7 which is not included in HTC ROM.
Tomtom is still on the internal storage and I can run it. However, no matter what I do it doesn't get the signal. It keep showing "waiting for GPS signal"... My theory is, something is missing in Tomtom to function propery.
Has anybody extracted Tomtom CAB installer from a "custom provider" rom, so I can re-install it? Or, may be there is something else I could to to get it to work?
Thanks in advance!
Please don't post this in the development section...
There are enough CAB's (legal) on XDA if you search.
Did you also flash the radio? If not, try a different radio.
Make sure your settings for External GPS are like this:
Programs
GPS Program Port > COM4
Hardware
GPS Hardware port > none
Baud rate > 4800
Access
Manage GPS Auto > CHECKED
Also be sure to set TomTom to Internal GPS or Other GPS (No BT or TT device).
Thank you!
(This is my last post on the subject, I understand that this it the wrong forum)
Just for the record: Tomtom "sees" the GPS unit (it turns from "No GPS Receiver" to "Waiting signal" quickly). My Radio ROM is xx.xx.25.05.
Ok, I will do more searching.
That's actually how it should work. It takes some time to find the build in GPS. After this it searches for a signal. You might wanna test this outside since it's hard to get a fix inside depending on your location.
Sometimes it takes several minutes to get a fix.
Concerning flashing. I always perform a few hard resets after flashing. Might wanna try this. If all fails reflash the radio ROM
its a setting in tomtom... try changing where it gets it gps signal from....should be set to internal gps...
That's what I said But according to the TS it "sees" the actual GPS but it's got no signal..
update quickgps.. go to somewhere without trees etc.. you should get a signal.. wait for it for a while.. if still no luck.. update your radio to. 07
sorry bro.... didnt read that bit..my bad.
np mate it's late (2:00 am).
The radio should work just fine, I use the 05 all the time.
Holland isn't that big but you can always try the 07 (or 08 for that matter) of course.
Thanks for all the replies!
I, of course, did the hardreset after flashing the rom and ran QuickGPS update.
When in Tomtom, I can go to the "Satellites" and I can see that Tomtom get's poor signal from 2-5 satellites at the time. I was outside for 40 minutes, couldn't get a lock. May be something wrong with my device :-(
Try setting "other nmea receiver"
when you 'flushed' it with the offical HTC rom your radio got updated...
i flashed the official HK rom and noticed the radio rom being updated also...
try a different radio file...
i can tell you it makes a huge difference!
.08 works best for me with regards to gps lag but takes 5-10mins to sync...
so i'm using .06
Hi TT7 on diamond works ok,
set tt to internal GPS. close TT.
run quickgps fix , start TT again.
now TT wil find its gps-ses lots faster.
Im running AZTOR V6, radio .08

Hi all,
I have a strange problem: bluetooth manager works fine after a soft reset. I can my PPC the whole day and it will always start normally (read: the screen that shows BT shortcuts shows up). The problem occurs when I turn off the phone over night (flight mode). The next day I can't get the BT manager to show the shortcuts screen - BT can be switched on and off but neither the BT manager or the BT settings screen will show up (there is no error message!!!). After I do a soft reset everything starts working...
Has anyone come across this kind of a problem in the past? I couldn't find anything using search on this forum...
My device info is (DutchRetail ROM):
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE
Radio: 1.13.00
Ext ROM: 1.40.556 WWE
I have tried uninstalling almost all extra software that I have installed after a hard reset but the issue is still here.
Thanks for all suggestions on what else I can try.

Do either of you have Goodlink software on your device?
same problem no goodlink
Same problem but no goodlink software
I also get another funny problem where sometimes I go to connect to my bluetooth access point from my phone and it just has the little pie icon saying it's doing something, then it stops and it hasn't connected (the connection icon stays the same) and I can't make any sort of connection. It then does this everytime I try to connect.
I don't know how i fix it, but I combination of many soft resets various flight mode turn ons and fiddling it eventually works. It's very frustrating and it's happened on every software version. Right now i"m running 2.04.00. I have a CDMA from Telecom NZ running radio HA_01_151 right now (but I've tried other radios).
Somebody else had this problem I noticed but nobody replied to his posts.
I've got the same problem I hope someday that someone makes a fix for it. I run the XDA IIs BlueAngel 1.40.00 Asian O2 ROM WWE. =/.
Same problem here - only solution I had was to go into settings/memory and then stop all programs running - then the bluetooth manager appears without the need for a softboot..
Pain in the arse. :!:

I do and I have the same problem. I've been suspecting that it may have something to do with that because when I reset and I can start the manager just fine before I start Goodlink, but after I start goodlink it's a pain. Once, I tried to start BT manager then it didnt... i forgot all about it then suddenly some 11 hours later it just popped up by itself. Goodlink had been running continuously.
Any ideas???
I sometimes have the same effect.
What I usually do to resolve it (without soft reset):
- I installed PocketNav (kills programs which run in the background)
- I select 'Close all but Ative' in PocketNav
Then the Bluetooth Manager works again.
Hope it helps.

This is due to memory limitation in WM2003SE. When it finds that the memory is not sufficient it wont run Bluetooth Manager or Wifi. I had this problem a lot until i have shifted to WM5 which has more than 100 mb when the device starts. I guess that is why M$ has built WM5 for that reason and also for persisten storage of course.
The "memory limitation" is indirectly the problem. The Goodlink, which is more than three times the memory hog as any other 3rd party app out there, is the direct problem. I could write a college discertation on the amount of bugs in this awful software. And yes, it is good for push email...but at the expense of everything else that is good about these multimedia devices we own. The typical "close-when-you-tap-the-X" software utilities don't shut down Goodlink on my device even though they successfully shut down every other software I own (over 40 titles). So I have to use MemMaid to kill its process. But Goodlink will restore itself in a matter of minutes as it ventures out to the server looking to synch mail, calendar, contacts. If there was ever a reason to bring back public hangings, it would be for the Goodlink windows OS development team.
I don't really see any issues with Goodlink eating my memory. Then again, I've converted from a strictly fun user to a strictly business user so the whole gaming and multimedia thing doesn't quite do it for me anymore.
Steiner,
I tried PocketNav to see if it would truly close GoodApp.exe. Although it does seem to shut the application down, the 6+MB exe still is open in memory. Using MemMaid it shows that it never really closes.
I also didn't have the Goodlink software installed . My solution to the problem was: I installed the Sprite Backup software and set it to automatically restart my PPC @ 6 am after creating a backup. So in a way, this problem was very benifical to me - I now have a fresh backup of all the software every morning and the device reboots every morning without my intervention (no BT errors, no WiFi errors, etc).

Hi
Does anyone know how to setup IGuidance to work with WM5? I dont know how to work the BT ports at all. In 2003se, i could use the "scan" for bt data and it'd find the itrek gps unit but now it results in "no gps found". alternatively, what other gps software will work other than tomtom? I dont have tomtom =(
I've got version 2.1 and it seems to work with WM5. I add the gps to the bluetooth and then I create an incoming and outgoing port. I set my gps to port 6. In IGuidance it won't detect the gps but if you manually choose port 6 it will work just fine.
Andy
iGuidance 2.1.3 locks up my Wizard after several minutes. Grrr...
I am having all sorts of trouble with my PDA2K (WM5) and iGuidance. Although I think it has more to do with my bluetooth than anything. When I first started trying to get it to work it gave me coordinates that I was in Africa... Anyway, I think I am going to go back to 2003SE.
I'm having a different problem with iGuidance v2.1.3 on WM5. It installs and runs just fine. I use BT over COM6 and it seems fine. The problem I have is that the coordinates are off. The strange thing is that when I run GPSInfo (a separate app) it shows the correct coordinates - iGudiance thinks they are different and thinks I'm in a different location ( a few miles away).
I gave up on it and decided to go back to 2003SE (iGuidace v2.1 that worked perfectly fine on that configuration a long time ago). I followed teh steps to format/clean hive and did the down grade but am having a different problem. I've seen other people running into similar issues but I've not been able to get around it
"BTTrayCE - bluetooth can no longer be used because the license has expired" - I have tried a number of things using different BT stacks, 2003SE builds, reset (soft+hard) etc. Same problem!!! Argh - I'm stuck. I really miss my GPS!
Hi krille,
I also had similar problems with my SX66 and iGuidance and finally decided to go back to win 2003 because it worked fine with it. In WM5 my BT GPS receiver was never able to make a connection with iGuidance. But now I am having a different problem. I cannot downgrade even though I followed all the instructions correctly posted on the BA_Downgrade page. The upgrade program ( MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe ) does not seem to identify the rom versions and though it gives me a successfully upgraded message nothing had happened. I cannot downgrade now and stuck with WM5. Did any of you experience this when downgrading and can offer me any help.
DEK.
I've been upgrading/downgrading with differnt ROMs without any problems
Make sure to disable activesync on the pc and copy the nbf files as described in http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Downgrade_WM5. Sometimes the verion info update to/from doesn't show between WM5/2003SE...
What happens when you click Update to continue?
BaUpgradeUt.exe worked
Thanks for your reply. I followed all the steps as described in the link you have sent but MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe did not upgrade (downgrade to 2003SE) though I got a message saying it did. Then I tried the file BaUpgradeUt.exe in PH20B folder and it did work. My device data file says my SX66 is in fact PH20B1 though. I do not know why MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe cannot update my ROM. Anyway I am happy now with my WM2003SE and iGuidance and BT all work faster with ROM update to 1.40. Now I am planing to customize my ExtROM to have all my personal settings and programs so that I want feel bad not having WM2005. Thanks for your willingness to help.

Hi Guys,
Has anyone got TomTom 6 working with WM6?
My TomTom Home on my PC is telling me that my device is incompatible
Cheers.
Works fine for me.
Im using Tomtom v.6.0 on my TyTN, and it runs like a charm.
WM6, tt 6.03 And tthome working sweet as
You might need to kill active sync to persuade tth to see the device again, oh and make sure you have latest version of tthome, not at pc right now so I havent a clue what it is
TTv6.0 works fine for me too in my Trinity
Same here, no issues
same here no problems with tt 6.03 and ax3l wm6 rom
I had a problem with TomTom after installing WM6. TomTom home kept saying that it didn't recognize my Trinity as a TomTom device. It took a few reboots of my PC and it finally agreed to let me reinstall TomTom.
I have been trying to install TomTom on my Trinity too. I am using WM6 too and it says the cab installation was unsuccessful.
I don't know why, it finds my device perfectly and installs the cab but I get the same message everytime.
Edit: DarkJedi is the f'ing man! He told me to copy the cab to my storage card and run it from there and it worked.
Thanks Matterhorn. That sounds like the issue I have. I'll give that a go.
Cheers all.
Be careful which WM6 ROM you use- some of them change the Device Code, preventing TomTom activation, and if that happens, and you have used your spare activation on TTCode.com, you will need to persuade TomTom to issue a new code, which can take up to 2 week's , and needs a copy of the origiinal proof of purchase for the device.
Another problem is that if you have to follow that route, although you can revert the OS to a previously activated one if you find WM6 not to your liking, TomTom Home cannot be reverted, and you won't be able to use it.
I'm using the Mun-Rus TE ROM, and it doesn't change the Device Code, but another WM6 Test ROM I used did change the code.
Works fine on my Trinity only when .NET 2.0 was missing there where some bugs.
If the activation lags there are some workarounds on the NET
TOMTOM 6 WM6 installation problem
I have exactly the same problem with the same error message....
Does anybody have an idea?
How can I check if GPS is enabled ?
Thanks.
Hello,
I've got a problem with Tomtom since one week. It turns off without reason, after some minutes. And when I restart it, it had lost my destination... So strange, isn't it ?
Anybody with the same problem ?
Thanks in advance.
Mister K, french user of SPV M700.
where can I get the cab-file?

Hi,
Sorry I'm new to all this, I have followed the tutorial at http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=14&Itemid=66
To place on the official dopod rom, followed by the radio rom ( tried a few of them). If I install TomTom it gives me the choice to select internal GPS, but when I select it it says "No gps device" In the system part of settings I have an icon for external GPS device.
Please what am i doing wrong
TIA
Ok, after alot of messing around, I have sorted it myself .I was using Olipro's Hard-SPL 1.30, everything seemed to go fine, so I assumed all had gone ok, there was no complaining at the end. But , when I looked in the device info, the radio rum ( the one used to unlock the phone, was still installed. So I downgraded to Olipro's Hard-SPL 1.20 and tried again. This time it all looked the same, but the radio had updated. Tomtom picks it up straight away now no problems, aldo had memory map working too.
I have tried the registry change to make the Icon in the control panel arrear, but its still not there.

- Have you got a P3300 or an Orange SPV M650 ?
- In settings>external GPS you must have :
---Programs ::: COM4
---Hardware ::: COM9 :::4800 Bauds
---Access :: check the box.
In TT7 you must select other NMEA GPS and select COM4.
Now quit Tomtom, run QuickGPS for downloading satellites position and then run TOMTOM and wait for sync
hi, thanks i got TT7 from this site, and me phone is a o2 xda orbit, and have tried that with going back to tomtom 6 and doing those settings with no luck, i know the gps works because i tested it with holux gps tester, and data was being transmited but said in the corner the date was 18 june 2006, but my phone time and date was set correct.
BUT THANKYOU FOR YOUR REPLY EVERYTHING IS WORTH TRYING TILL YOU GET SO ANNOYED YOU END UP SMASHING THE BLIMING THING!!!
ive tried with gps viewer and its saying the date is 16/04/2006, and all it does it get a north satalite that doesn't pick up, any one help, ive done all the other things like baud rate com ports, and internal still not working im all out of ideas and was wondering if any one had some fresh ideas for me too try.#

I had the same problem in my Touch Cruise!
From 2 days, without reason (I do not changed the version ) tomtom (TTN 6.030 preinstalled) connect to GPS device but hang waiting a valid signal and bring all cpu power, Sometime i have to make soft reset.
Do not work anymore even QuickGPS.
Please, someone help me e r8zer !!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank`s in advance
hi, i still have not got my internal gps working, but when i use gps viewer it tells me the date is 18 june 2006, and i do not know if there is a way to change that information or if that date is causing all the problems.!!!! all still a mystery?
Upgrade tomtom may address problem
I had the same problem after upgrading from WM5 to WM6 - I reverted to WM5 and sometime later upgraded Tomtom to the version that sees an internal GPS. I then reburned WM6 nad everything (well, GPS and almost everything else) worked.

LOL.... if you uninstall TT7 it is not gone...
you have to delete the navigator directory in the PROGRAM FILE directory....
After that try again.... it wil work, but you will have the same with TT6 .....
And the TT7 repack 2 and 3, which you could find on the internet are just working great with the internal GPS of the Artemis......... tried them both....
i did delete everything and also did a hard reset and still nothing, also formated the memory sd aswell, just to have everything from a fresh start and still nothing!!!?

tomtom works fine with bluetooth receiver, still have not got it working again with internal gps, it was before now it's not it's got me stumped!!!
