Hi all,
I have an XDA Orbit on O2 which I got last week.
I have TomTom installed on the phone with the maps and voices etc on the MiniSD Card.
I went to use TomTom today, and it showed be the EULA and said No Maps available. I checked the SD Card, and I could access it and launch other applications which are installed on the SD Card.
I soft-reset the device, but still no fix.
Re-installed TomTom, and when it launched after installation it ran fine, however when I shut it down and opened it again i failed and showed No Maps once again.
I read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511&page=1&highlight=Storage+Card thread, and installed the HTC Patch incase this was affecting me, however there is no change.
It seems that I can run TomTom if I re-install everytime I want to use it, however that obviously is no use at all.
Any help would be grately appreachiated, as I'm a little annoyed by this being that I have only had the phone for a week.
have you tried putting the maps on the device storage rather than your SD Card? some applications dont like being split over device and SD.
I have TTN6, and have the maps on the device under 'Program Files/Navigator/Zip/'
Hope this helps.
I had TomTom installed in this way on my XDA Mini S for 18 months with no problems, and as far as I am aware this is the way TomTom is designed to be installed.
Is the name of the TT-map map correct on minisd?
Check spelling.

..same issue
I had the same challenge.
There are one or 2 ways to resolve the issue.
1. Delete the maps, un-install TomTom software, you also need a reedit software to delete all references to TomTom in the regostry. Delete all other TomTom relevant files on the device /Program Files/navigator; /My Document/TomTom. Then soft-reset before installing all over again.
This I did for a friend.
2. In my own case, I reflashed with a new ROM, then installed all over again.
However, my friend had a cracked version, and I told him to go pay for the original, as you only need to pay for the maps these days. I cannot guarrantee 1. will always work.
I am currently using a cracked version also (tut-tut) but am getting the Western Europe edition for christmas from my other half.
The maps folder is named Great_Britain which worked on my Mini S on WM5 no problems.
Can you please advise where the TTN registry keys are, as I looked in HKCU and HKLM but couldn't find anything relating to TomTom. I did not remove all the existing stuff before re-installing so I may try this.
Just to clarify the technical points:
I am running the O2 WM6 ROM that was pre-installed on the device, and am using a SanDisk 2GB MiniSD card.
I don't see your TT version
What is your tt ver?

Can anyone tell me how I can find out my TTN software version being that I cannot get into the application itself, as I am stuck at the screen showing the No Maps message.
Is the version displayed inside a file or registry key used by TTN?
You have TT6
But was yout tt's version before??

I'm using the same version now as previously on WM5 - Is that my issue?
I don't have the Mini S with me now, so I can't fire the software up right now, however I will look tonight and post the version, unless someone can tell me a way to find it some other way in the mean time?
Thanks
i dont think u can find the version number, apart from when u are running the program... just had a quick look on mine, and there aren't any files that look useful.
I'm having problems locating the software build version.
I've started TomTom on my Mini S which is working perfectly and loading the maps ok etc etc, however I can't see anything with the build or software number on it - Sorry for being a noob, but could someone point me in the right direction.
Many Thanks
Just open TomTom and press where the signal strength is shown, it will show at the bottom right, at least in version 6.030.
I hope you know that map's from TT5 are not compatible in TT6

Hiya mate i used to have this problem too
1. Make sure u dont have bluetooth explorer switched on
2. soft reset your device see if that works
Hi all,
I knew I wasn't being stupid trying to find the version number, so I've taken a picture of the GPS Signal screen - Attached.
I disbled Bluetooth Explorer and this is now working again perfectly, without changing the maps - These maps I have used on WM5 and WM6.
I personally don't see why Bluetooth Explorer would do this, unless TomTom is foolithly trying to look for maps over Bluetooth, but thanks for the help everyone.
to find the version number with TTN6:
-Start TomTom
-Tap on the bottom right of the screen where it shows time/speed/signal strength
-it should bring up a screen which shows your last route, signal on the right and bottom right of the screen the version, which you can tap on and get a detailed view.
Hope this helps.
I also have the same problem, where it says no maps found. It used to work and then all of a sudden it stopped. It is not a cracked version.
Can someone please help me!
Thank You
did you try the soultion in reply 16? it worked for me
There's a new Zest firmware available for download from http://www.my-xda.com/. The filename is Xda_Zest Firmware Update_V7.7.0S.WWE20.00_M4.6.5.P7_V2.1.4 GBR20, which seems to be updates to most of the roms inside the zest. It's installing at the moment, and the upgrade interface on the phone is displaying "GalaxyMini5 Eboot (3.33.0). Since this appears to be a codename for the P565, I guess this is more evidence that the XDA Zest is simply an underclocked P565 and more evidence that P565 firmware may well work on it.
Warning, this firmware does not appear to contain the O2 menu software, or the free GPS software that comes with the phone (although maybe the latter can be re-installed from the SD card). Shame - I rather liked the O2 menu interface.
what improvements does it have? Is it actually worth upgrading?
Thanks.
The only things I can see that I don't remember seeing before are a couple of new or updated control panel entries. Video calling is probably the really important one.
You seem to lose the RSS reader, the O2 auto settings, the O2 menu and the GPS s/w (although the latter was only a demo). I have no idea if using the SD card that came with the Zest will restore these, as I don't have it. (If the software is all on there somewhere, and someone could bung me a copy, I'd be really grateful.)
It does make me wonder how the P565 firmware compares. I understand it has a nice touch interface on it.
It seems odd that the new firmware would remove all the o2 specific bits. Great if you want to use it on another network I suppose, but I quite like the mobile shell or o2 menu.
The satnav software isn't on the sd card - only the maps.
The instructions say:
Please note that if you already have CoPilot satellite navigation software on your Xda, refer to the Xda Zest user manual before upgrading your device software.

I couldn't see anything of significance in the user manual.
Interesting. I actually have Tomtom for GPS on a different SD card, which is related to the reason I don't have the original SD card. Tomtom autoinstalls from the SD card, so I thought it might be that the O2 software installed itself from the SD card provided by O2. I guess that if it's only maps on the SD card then that's not the case, and the new firmware does strip out all the O2 extras, which seems like a peculiar decision to say the least.
Still, it did get me to try the new SPB mobile shell 3, which is what the O2 menu is based on, but nicer. I'm trying to decide whether it's worth the $35 for just a flashy finger driven interface. The weird thing is, it actually might be.
I'm actually going to upgrade my firmware to new one which is currently available in O2 site. What I want to know is if upgrade mine to the latest what would be the changes I may seen... Is it worth upgrading by loosing all the software?
So far I've seen nothing to write home about. The only reason might be if you can't already make video calls and want to do so. (I never make them, so I have no idea whether or not they're supported in the original firmware.)
I just upgraded mine to new firm ware. It worked fine for me. I didn't lose any O2 extras inc O2 menu. It was Oki but haven't tried yet to make video calls.. I will install iGO8 and will uninstall the co-pilot.
SPB Mobile shell 3.0 Rocks working smoothly with my Omnia and Xda Zest
I've just updated, and I didn't lose any O2 extras either (including Copilot). I backed up the Program Files\Copilot folder on the device to my PC before updating, and copied it back over after the update and voila, I've still got my fully activated version of Copilot. It did still prompt for allowing it to connect to the net during the 14-day trial the first time I ran it, but the license screen confirms it's the full version.

I have a working theory that the autorun on my Tomtom SD card might have run in preference to some autorun that might otherwise have run the first time the OS booted. I could test this by re-installing the firmware, but it's kind of a pain to have to put all the data on again.
Having played around some more and browsed the Extended ROM on my device, this does appear to be what happened, as all the CAB files are present. Fortunately this is a bonus for me, since I'm not on O2, and most of these files are useless to me, and I can therefore just pick and choose the apps I'd like to install.
This might be useful to other Zest users - the hack to make the Extended ROM visible:
Use your favourite Registry Editor to make HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ONDisk2\FATFS\MountHidden set to 0 (default is 1)
You can then browse to \ASUS_ROM\ in Total Commander to view your Extended ROM partition. The ROM does not appear to be write protected, so you can now put all the packages *you* want re-installed on a hard reset in there. Neat.
I contacted O2 support about this issue, and they replied saying that:
On occasions the O2 menu can drop off after a ROM upgrade, but this would usually be resolve by either hard resetting or running the upgrade again. The o2 menu is still installed on the new ROM.

I have now done this upgrade and have retained the 02 menu. The radio reception seems a bit better as I now get HSDPA at home, which I didn't previously, so the radio upgrade seems to be worth it.
ringer
ive got the zest and am happy with it so far apart from the last 2 days i cannot hear it when i get a call everything else works ie.system sounds,core player etc but the actual phone wont ring it just vibrates ive reset it a million times and checked system settings etc but nothing so if anyone has any ideas i would be very grateful, also how do you know if you are getting hdspa or not is there a setting for it or something, cheers guys.
The connectivity icon at the top right of the screen shows what communication protocol is being used by showing a symbol (usually just a single letter) in a solid square. The letters I have seen so far are:
G - GPRS (2G)
E - EDGE
3G - 3G (this is the odd one out with the two letters squashed together)
H - HSDPA
It's worth mentioning that on my train ride home I see all four protocols at different points, and the hand-off between them is very smooth.
thanks for quick reply i will keep an eye on it, still no joy with my ringer though its very strange. never had a problem like it on my orbit. i will keep investigating ,also do you know if anyone will be coming up with a rom for zest as i miss manila 2d although mobile shell v3 is good.
Have you checked:
Start->Settings->Sounds & Notifications
On the Notifications tab you can select the "Ring type", one possible choice of which is "Vibrate", which will make the phone only vibrate on incoming calls. Just guessing.
yes ive tried all that it might be affected by software ive installed recently i will try unistalling them one by one and see if that helps, failing that il do a hard reset i guess, anyone know how to hard reset the zest? thanks for your help.
There is a contortional key sequence for this, but you can also reset it by going to:
Start->Settings->System Tab->Default Settings
cheers managed to sort it , i installed mini lyrics software and ticked all in associating files which for some reason stopped the phone from ringing
thanks for your help.
Failure of firmware upgrade
Ive just had a power failure whilst upgrading the firmware on my new xda Zest and all it it shows when turning on is "OS Update failed! Please update again". Is there anything i can about this or will it need to be returned to O2. Any suggestions. thanx
Hi there
Firstly i am a very heavy user of my PDA's but not very technical & apologies for long post, but cant find the answers anywhere else on this site.
Have been using HTC SIM free handsets for approx 4.5 Years now, and been using a HTC TyTN II for the last year, updated the ROM from WM6.0 to WM 6.1 then everything started going wrong so decided to spend the £500 to jump to the HTC Touch Pro 2 but am very frustrated and almost at the point of going back to the TyTN II or going to another brand of phone as none of the software that i had on my TyTN II works with the Touch Pro 2 WM 6.1, as follows:
1. TomTom Navigator 6 does not work but works on TyTN II WM 6.1?
2. TomTom Navigator 7 (Tried it & HTC Confirmed it will not work either)
3. MS Voice Command or any other voice command software does not work
4. Many other MUST HAVE programs i had on TyTN II WM6.1 also will not work now
5. Company supplied software wont work either,
6. It also wont work with my Landrover Freelander 2 PTI kit, so am forced to go back to a BT Headset
Surely PDA software OS 6.1 cant be that different from version 6.0 in my experience with the TyTN II as 6.1 just had small enhancements to 6.0?
I at least need some navigation & voice command software to work on the Touch Pro 2 as it just can not be operated safely whilst moving otherwise, and there is no point in having it in the first place if i can't get these two software types to work, which is a big problem for me.
Does anyone know what software does work, although i think it is the HTC TouchFlo Skin that is the problem with other programs i have tried this weekend, as it does not allow third part software to be displayed on the home screen easily, even google apps toolbar has probs, does this sound feasible?
Can anyone help me out with this or did i buy the wrong phone maybe a Touch Pro would have been better as closer to my TyTN II layout and functions?
Thanks in advance

TT 7 Does work with Rhodium, as does VC, everything has it's quirks of config. BT has always been a pain in the ass and requires different settings for different HFPs, Car Kits and A2DPs.
If you wan to kill Touch Flow, go into start/settings/personal/today and untick the TF.
There are plenty of threads and posts that will resolve most of your issues mate.
Search the entire forum, not just the Rhodium section and you'll get the answers you need.
Cheers,
Beasty
From your list of programs I can only confirm that Tomtom 7 DOES work, and it works very well. I'm using 7.915.9196 VGA
I haven't installed much software yet as Ive been a bit busy, but everything I've put on has worked pefectly. Admittedly I only installed stuff that worked on my Diamond which was also wm6.1

first of all sorry to hear you're having so much issues with the software you need to run on the phone. i have a kaiser/tytn 2 and software from that i have working on tp2. tomtom6 from tytn 2 does not work but tomtom7 defo does. MSVC does work as well but you need to get version compatible with tp2. look in the HTC BLACKSTONE forum as most of the apps from this device work with tp2. please remember that tp2 is WVGA res so that alone may effect the compatibility of some programs. the Blackstone forum is littered with programs that you may need that will work on tp2 and even better! can't really comment on your work software as dont know what it is! good luck with searching!
oh and i know it may be silly but make sure your phone is visible for BT purposes an use phone to pair with your landrover. mine works well with my parrot system with no issues!

Hi Beasty
Thanks for tips, now i know what its codename is, it made it easier to find stuff on this excellent site after i saw your and other replies and have since loaded MS VC 1.6 UK Edition which seems to work ok although not tried it yet with my new HTC BT Headset.
In reply to the others thanks for the great info so far, i have tried loading TomTom 7 once again from the MicroSD card and it wont even load, its just says "this version of TomTom 7 is not compatible with this device" when i click "OK" it just terminates. I dont know what version it is till it loads?
A friend of mine this evening says that the closest phone on the TT7 compatability list seems to be the HTC Touch HD, and that CoPilot 7 actually lists Touch Pro2 as a compatible device, so i will have to try that i think and see if it actually does work, and will let you and the forum know
In terms of the work applications, i know they are based on the MS .NET Micro framework and so should work out of the box, but no they dont, but i think it is a screen resolution issue more than anything else.
The other app i need to run ideally is "Nimbuzz" Multi IM app, again for work.
On both of these work related apps i get an intermittent error message, saying "An error has occurred with xxxx appplication, send error report yes or no" when i choose Yes, it loops same message, when i clicked No it loops once then closes.
I removed the "Nimbuzz" application and soft reset, but still get the error message for it which is weird. So if anyone knows of a Multi IM (Inc Skype) which will run on Touch Pro 2 i look forward to knowing about it.
Work funded 50% of my Touch Pro2 purchase so need to get this all working as best i can
Thanks again for the tips, hints, instructions

Do you know if anyone has been able to get MSVC to work with the TP2 with a bluetooth headset?
I have tried both the US and European versions of MSVC 1.6 with my TP2. It only seems to work with the built-in speaker.

No problem sir,
We are all here to help each other, TF3D is a highly usefull interface, just takes a bit of getting used to, 2nd today and TF3D is a great combination especially when you configure one of the softkeys to switch between both.
Multi IM you could try BeeJive, not a lot of experience with this (seem to remember Elite team including it in their Roms) but there are plenty available on the net.

Hi All
Got MSVC working on TP2 but not with a BT headset so have just bought the Parrot Minikit Slim with voice dialling, although the voice dialling only works if you can sync the TP 2 with it just like my landrover, but it does not tell you this on the outside of the box.
Guess what? The TP2 is not listed on the Parrot Minikit compatibility list so may have spent/wasted another £70 today as cant sync the TP2 contacts with the Parrot system which is the same prob i was having with my landrover

Hey Alex...
I am sorry to hear that you are having so many problems and I have a fix-all solution for you.... I have a posting up in the marketplace, where I am looking to Trade a HTC Titan (Sprint Mogul) and 2 HTC Kaisers (AT&T Tilt's) for 1 GSM Touch Pro 2.... & I can confirm that TomTom 7 works on all 3 (I have the GPS unlocked on the Mogul).... Just think... 3 phones for your 1... What a great deal
Can someone post the link to the UK version of MSVC? I can't see it at the MS site.
I installed MSVC on my TP2 which led to a hard reset, so I want to be sure that I'm using the right version.
Thanks
"...i have tried loading TomTom 7 once again from the MicroSD card and it wont even load, its just says "this version of TomTom 7 is not compatible with this device" when i click "OK" it just terminates. I dont know what version it is till it loads?"
I've exactly this same problem. Does anybody know how to get around this and get it installed?
Wouldn't you know it. 24 hours of bashing my head against the desk trying to get this to work....I add a message to this board and 10 minutes later it works. Just used 7.915.9196 VGA as pointed out by stunno and remembered to look in program files after it was installed instead of repeatedly clicking on the original installer on the memory card.

So strange.
I'm using the parrot CK3100, and that's working fine, out of the box.
Just let the TP2 find the Parrot, 1234 as pin, and the TP2 recognizes it as a Hands-free set.
And it automatically started synchronizing.
My parrot 3200LS will not sync the directory either. It just disconnects the bluetooth device as soon as you tell it to sync. It works as a handfree ok, but its a pain to make calls without the directory.
Hi, I see some threads that suggest TomTom 7 can be installed on a Touch Pro 2. I bought TomTom 7 on micro SD and it won't run. I get a message "Your device is not compatible with this version of TomTom NAVIGATOR!" Is there something simple that I am missing that is causing this. TomTom support were no help.
Offtopic: Why not ask your question in one of the threads you have found
Ontopic: Officially the TP2 is not supported at this moment. It will work, just ask Google
Hi PGLion.
I started a new thread because none of the other threads were actually about TomTom7 on the TP2, they just gave me hope!
On the ask Google suggestion, I may be a bit slow, but I have not found anything that helps me. If you have a link that you think will help, I'd be very grateful if you could post it.

yes,
try >"7.910" "(9196)"< as search terms in google.
before installing that version you should also chek the reports of other users stating that after installation bluetooth stopped working.
You want "ttn7.915.9196.vga_black.cab"
Works fine.
In fact a quick google takes us to this very site:

Bluetooth still working fine for me.
Yes, TomTom7 DOES work on TouchPro2. I use it almost daily. It's very nice.
But it DOES cripple bluetooth (at least the build that I'm using). It replaces a couple of bluetooth drivers in your Windows directory that are incompatable (or so it appears).
If anyone's having issues with this, PM me. I'll find the thread (I think it was at PPCGeeks) that has instructions re: fixing it.

To save looking - you will need to rename or delete the following dll files in the \windows directory:
\windows\BtSdkCE30.dll
\windows\BtCorelf.dll

i too can confirm that TT7 works on TP2, might be best you use a software called cabinstl to install the cab file to your required location
The biggest problem I'm having is some serious GPS lag on my Verizon Touch Pro2 running TomTom (I've tried v6 and v7).
TOMTOM 7 install issues on Tilt 2
Has anyone had problems with the install going automatically to the device and not having enough memory to run?
Mine works, but I have a few issues. The physical keyboard doesn't work correctly (when I type, I get multiple non-english characters entered, but the on-screen keyboard is fine). The keyboard on my previous Tilt (original) worked fine with TT6. It also appears that there's no GPS: it shows reception of 0 satellites, yet it works fine. Seems way to accurate to be getting position from cell phone triangulation. Also, I'm using the "black VGA" map, but there appears to be an issue with POIs. Gas stations were shown on screen in completely undeveloped areas. Fortunately, I wasn't looking for gas.
TT7 (V7.915) working OK on my stock UK Vodafone (WM6.1) TP2 with no major lag or loss of any other features. Gets a lock fairly quickly (10-30 seconds).
Custom POIs are accurate and as expected.
Satellite reporting is behaving itself.
Hardware keyboard: Worked fine first go, then started printing double/foreign characters (eg: A gave A+A(Umlaut)), then back to OK after I went into soft keyboard settings and re-selected English. Exited TT, came back in and hardware keyboard seems OK still.
The only major issue I have is that TT sometimes crashes while loading ("We're sorry..." Windows error screen) and I have to turn the phone off/on to get TT going again.
Edit:
Hi everybody,
I searched the forum and couldn't readily find anything related to this problem.
I loaded EnergyROM_21885_RHODIUM_17.Dec.2009_Titanium.rar today on my new ATT Tilt 2. And then I loaded TomTom Navigator 6.x for the first time on the Tilt2 immediately after the ROM upgrade, so I have very little loaded on the Tilt2 except what came with the EnergyROM package.
I saw the exact same issue posted in an Xperia X1 forum: "The screen doesn't display properly. In portrait the TomTom screen only shows in the top half of the screen, and there are 3 screens showing up next to other, kind of overlaying each one like a deck of cards. In landscape they space out slightly better and the programme is useable, but still it looks terrible, and using the phone as a sat nav in landscape isnt exactly practical. Basically the tomtom display is coming in at like quarter size. Has anyone seen this or know of a fix or settings that can be played around with for it?" IN response, someone theorized: "I think because TT6 is made for devices 320 x 320 and 320 x 240. X1 has a wvga 800 x 480."
Anybody encountered this problem and have a fix? I hope there is an easy tweak for this. I've uninstalled/ reinstalled and soft reset to no avail.
I have a legal copy of TomTom and it's worked fine on 3 previous HTC Windows Mobile devices including my previous Fuze. TomTom tech support won't help because the TP2/Tilt2 is not on their approved list (nothing manufactured in the past 2-3 years is on the list.) I've seen talk of TomTom Navigator 7, but that must not be sold in North America and TomTom is phasing out any support whatsoever for TTN6 I'm told.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Dave
I got the following from TomTom Customer Support:
The Navigator 7 software has only been released in the European market. There are currently no plans to release this software in North America therefore,we are unable to offer support for Navigator 7 customers. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
For further assistance you are more than welcome to contact UK support. For contact information please click the link below:
tomtom.com/368
(I bought a copy through a UK website.)
yep all your previous HTC phones were supported screen wise. They do actually have an offical tomtom 7 out that supports our phone and you can use that however I dont think it will work with your maps. It only works with the newest maps availabe....
You'll have to upgrade if you want to use tomtom on your phone.
That said.. I'll throw you over some more information but it's not anything you cant find by searching google so I wont clog up the forums with it.
Check your private messages!
HELP !!!
i went to tomtom.com tp2 is nit supported so what do i do now i just dont want to get lost !! gees ? pm is Ok
I feel your pain...I have the same issue with my Tilt 2 with no solution @ this time. No other choice @ this time but to use AT&T Navigator.
Guys (or girls)... a simple search of "tomtom" in the Rhodium "themes, applications and software" subforum will give bring you this thread right at the TOP of the list.
New Tomtom 916.9189 Specifically for TP2 Released
That said... I believe this version only works with some of the newer maps... not the old tomtom 6 versions. Odds are if you are using those your maps are WAY out of date as it is.
I will add that it works perfectly with version 7 or 8 maps. I have been using it since I got my Tilt2 and love it. You will have to update the maps and then reactivate them.
The screen get off during TT navigation
Hello all
I am quite upset as I did not find any solution for weeks. TT7 works fine. Just one very disturbing stuff come up when call ending. Within one minutes the screen get of. All you know that during navigation incoming call interupt navigation screen while you accept the call. Then screen switch back to navigation mode. After hang up, the screen get black in one minute.
Any suggestion please???
Thanks in advance
TomTom Navigator fix for AT&T Tilt 2
I had the same problem as all of you have described with TomTom Navigator 6 not working on my new AT&T Tilt 2. The problem with TomTom Navigator 6 is that it will not support the higher resolution on the newer large screens. I got it to work on my Tilt 2 by installing WVGAFIX4. You can search for it on here on XDA. This app reduces the screen resolution so you can use TomTom Navigator. Make sure you have run this and selected one of the smaller resolutions before you install Navigator 6 on your phone. Sometimes on my Tilt 2 I have to do a soft reset to get it back to the original resolution. TomTom has abondoned us in the US and so far this is the only fix I have found to use Nav 6 on my new phone. Funny they came out with an IPhone app but left out all the windows mobile users.

Now if you mean so that your super old maps still work.. Yes you'd be stuck with the old tomtom... OR you can just get the newer tomtom and buy the updated maps (as I'm sure roads have changed since the tomtom 6 maps were released years and years ago) or heaven forbid do a search on google and find out where else you can get maps.
