I loaded ttn 6 on my phone. When I launch the app it tells me theres no maps.
I have the new rev no issues with hitting the sat's.
First it would not launch tomtom when the exe was on the sd card. Moved it to programs files and it launches.
I have the maps on my sd card. Do I have to move any files over to "my device"? what are the names?
Thanks
Maps are supposed to be on Storage card in the root folder.
for example \Storage Card\Canada_US_Maps
Tried to move them to storage card. file name is usa_canada_v.675.1. still get the same error. "No maps found"
if i click to open it gives me an error "409 is not valid pocket pc application"
think thats what the problem is?

You didn't purchase this copy of Tomtom, did you? Don't answer, we're better off not knowing.
It sounds to me if that really is a "file" (singular) you've probably got a map pack still compressed as a .RAR or .Zip or similar. What's the extension of that file? "usa_canada_v.675.1" dot what?
My point is, you have to extract the archived maps to a folder on the root of your storage card, as a1jatt mentioned. It sounds like you're trying to use or execute and archive, which isn't going to do much for you. If that doesn't make sense or you still need help let us know.

Hi,
I am getting No GPS device! when i open TomTom.
-please advice
Retesh- I've got the exact same problem. Just got my phone today, and I'm hacking away at it!
I've got a few ideas, and I'll post if I get it to work.
Well, it looks like I hit the jackpot. I'll outline what I've done today, because I'm not sure if your setup will be anything at all like mine.
The phone came brand new, so there was no need to flash to the stock ROM. I started with the instructions for updating to the ROM with REV.A and GPS from Sprint:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24979
Credit for that one goes to TheChampJT for his Vogue Tips thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412414
I've got a Sprint Vogue, so I basically followed the instructions from 1 to 10. The wording regarding running Cokeman's unlocker was a bit vague- after you're on the tri-color screen, you DO need to remove and replace the USB cable (as the DOS window will tell you) but you DON'T need to reboot the phone and reconnect to ActiveSync.
Anyway, once that was all done I tested my internet connection via ActiveSync (I don't have a data plan). Interestingly, it works under XP, but does NOT work under Vista. I've yet to figure out why, though it isn't super important at the moment. I decided to use VetVito's V2.0 Kitchen to build a custom ROM, rather than use one of the ones in that tutorial. It was pretty easy and quick. Once that was flashed, I ran the Sprint DCD carrier cab and installed TomTom Navigator 7. This is the part you're probably interested in.
When I launched it, I got "No GPS" also. On the Satellite screen, it didn't show a single one. So, I did the following:

I modified the registry using PHM Registry Editor, which can be found here:
http://www.phm.lu/Products/Smartphone/RegEdit/
I then installed the AstroGPSLauncher, which you can get from this thread, among other places:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17225
I did use the SKShortcutManager mentioned in that thread, along with the instructions provided there. Pretty straightforward.
Then I fired up TT7, and... nothing. It said "Poor GPS Reception", but still didn't show a single one connected, locked on or otherwise. I soft rebooted, and took a walk around the block. (It was COLD out tonight!) Sure enough, after a few seconds, I showed 10 connections. It wasn't locked on, but it was trying. I watched it for about five minutes or so, until my girlfriend called. I figured then would be as good a time as any to figure out how to multitask with the phone, so I took the call while allowing the satellites to keep trying to connect.
I'm not certain of the exact length of time, but approximately five to ten minutes later it was locked to 5 satellites! I don't have great reception where I am (lots of houses with lots of wifi and satellites and other invisible noise) but it stayed connected to between 3 and 5 birds for the entire call (switched to speakerphone so I could watch ) and even now inside my house, I'm still connected.
Aaaaaanyway, my guess is that the registry tweak and using Astro were the bits that made it work. You're mileage may vary... keep in mind I'm about as big of a noob as you can be, having had this phone now for about ten hours. But it looks like a bit of research, luck, and help from the awesome folks here and at PPCGeeks is all you need. Unfortunately, if my method doesn't work, I don't think I'll be much help with troubleshooting. But give it a shot (the registry tweak and launcher) and let us know how it goes!
This is not a thread revival but my thanks to the above poster. I now have a kickass cell phone thanks to you.
Many thanks.
Is anyone else having this issue yet? I have asked this on the rom development page and it seems that I may be the only one experincing this.
I have NRG's 10\28 rom loaded and I have removed many of my installed programs and I can not get the Office programs to load quickly. I have Nrg's rom 10\17 or so loaded on my wife's phone but hers doesnt seem to be doing this.
I am suspecting that it is something that I am installing that is doing this but I am not sure.
I have even downloaded the office 2010 beta today and it stil does it.
It does stop doing it for about a half a day if I reboot many times till it behaves, but then after about a half a day, it is back to taking more than 60 seconds to open word or excell, then about 20 ot 25 seconds to close it.
Any ideas??
Thank you all for looking at this.
Jeff
Takes no more than a few seconds max on my Tilt 2, I don't know man.
Same porb here, i dont think its a ROM issue as it did the same thing on most of the roms i flash. i just thought i was a WM thingi, and the worst part is it takes near 10 sec to open a NEW word doc..

Finally, someone else is also having this issue.
I have a slightly older version of the Energy rom on my wife's phone and hers is always fast to open.
I have been uninstalling programs one by one to see if one of them is affecting it.
What I have found is that as I install a couple, it will start working good, then a a few hours later, it goes to 1 min to open again.
And I am not even opening a file, just click on the excell icon, so that eliminates the bad file thing.
I will let you know what I find.
So do you have many apps installed? I have a lot, to many to mention here at this time, but if you only have a few, please list them and I will see if there are any in common between us.
Thanks,
Jeff
I had this problem on my AT&T Tilt 1 a long time ago. I was able to isolate the cause of the problem to sending/receiving Email over mobile data (wouldn't happen if the update was via wifi). Unfortunately the only thing that solved my problem was a hard reset .

interesting you mentioned wifi, i just observed today that it does not take a long time to open when i am on wifi, then i switched to no wifi, and it was taking lont time to open excel.
turned wifi back on and sure enough, excell opened quickly.
i then turnrd off my wifi network plugin, (disabled my map network drive) and now it seems to be opening excell just fine reguardless of wifi or not.
i will continue to test this ane report back.

Office Mobile looks for any files of the appropriate type (e.g., *.doc files for Word) on your device to open prior to loading. Before reading this last comment I was going to suggest removing your storage card, but if you have network drives mapped it's probably attempting to reach those while loading but timing out if they're not available.

So as long as I dont have my "enable Network Folder" clicked on the HTC's Network Plugin, it all works good. As soon as I click that, and enable the network folder, then it takes forever to open office unless I have the wifi turned on.
Man I have been fighting this for months, not sure if it was a rom thing or something that I was intalling.
I hope that others who have this issue can find this post and fix thier stuff too.

I have a stock ROM Tilt2 and I am loving it. The best phone yet. However, the clock has been off several times. It happened again today, it said 3:23 PM and it was actually 4:24 PM. I have a cab installed to stop the 1h 2m flip (if it matters). I have figured out that if I turn it to airplane mode and then back to phone, the time updates to the correct time.
Is anyone else having this same issue? And is it a problem with the phone or AT&T?
I've had the problem before. When I had the Touch Pro(Fuze) from at&t but unlocked for Tmobile. and when i first got my Touch Pro 2. i never really figured out what was wrong for the fuze but my tp2 stopped. I noticed it happening when I would unplugg my power that's when it would change time when I had my stock battery. When I changed it to the seidio battery it stopped happening. I don't think the battery has anything to do it but it might have just be a coincident.

On my case, every time I do a sync with my lap top it changes me the time, no matter what I disable or adjust on Rhodium...it always changes me to a different time zone...

I could have sworn there was a setting in activesync somewhere that would let you disable the time sync with the host PC...but I'm digging now and I can't find it anywhere in the menus on the phone or on the PC client.
I wouldn't be surprised though if there's a switch for that in the registry somewhere, I'll see if I can find anything that looks related...don't hold your breath though
Also has happened to me...
I have a Tilt2 stock ROM, and have had this happen several times. In searching these (and other) forums, the only thing that I have seen that remotely resembles this issue is the time zone issue (which I must suffer from as well since my time zone is always reverting to Indiana..I live in Eastern).
The first DAY I got my phone I noticed this time issue, and I chalked it up to an incomplete charge up or something to that affect, however it happened a couple of other times. The time on the phone would be off by some major amount of time (several hours), and it was not just the hour that was off, but also the minutes (so it was not purely a time zone issue).
I could not find anything to MAKE it correct itself, so I manually changed the time to the correct it, but I have not found anything to address this issue. Luckily it only happens every so often, but I would love to find out why...
Happens to me. Hours and minutes off.
If its off by 8 hours, I know to just fix it. If its off by 20 minutes, I'm late to class.
There's an app in the software recommended thread. SynchroTime. It's your only fix. When you see the time is incorrect, run it and it fixes itself. I have no idea why the time isn't synced to Tmobile's servers, or even an option for that.
i have the same issue, on AT&T as well
I am having the same issue on an AT&T phone. I have been all over the phone looking for a place where you tell the phone to sync to network time, with no luck. My laptop was off by four minutes, as well as my phone, so i believe it is an issue with syncing to the laptop, but i would prefer it sync to at&t.
Any ideas?
The only time I have observed TP2 to be off by one or two hours, was after running a GPS program, that was wrongly configured. The GPS application caused also a time change.

Guys, don´t forget to vote!
Yeap has happened to me too. I'm using the stock ROM and it happened many times in the past. Actually what I observed was that the manilla clock was wrong (hours and minutes), while the windows clock was running ok. I have no idea how that's even possible.
I could not find out however the pattern of the above. I'm sure it has to be a manila thing though, cuz now that i have it disabled and using SPB mobile shell I have no similar incidents. It would be nice to know the fix though.

hey guys.. i have this problem too. i have a sprint touch pro 2, and i installed energy rom this morning.
the clock is wrong because the time zone keeps changing to GMT when i live where it's supposed to be GMT +8
here's what i noticed:
1. for example, the exact time here is 8:30am, the phone always changes the time zone to GMT and using my local time, but the minutes are slightly off. (8:19am GMT) So when i change the time zone to +8, it becomes (4:19pm)
2. everytime i sync with my computer, the time corrects itself, and all i need to do on the phone is to change it to the correct time zone, and it's all fine.
3. the time becomes incorrect everytime i restart the phone, or turn flight mode off and back on.
4. when i remove the sim card and turn on the phone without the sim card, the time remains correct!
5. i concluded that it has something to do with the network. i went to settings->phone, and theres something there about time synchronization. unfortunately, i dont know why, but when i disable it on my energy rom, the time still updates.
6. i tried using the same sim on another windows mobile device. i turned on time sync on that device, and when i restarted the device, the time became incorrect also! but on this phone, when i turn off time sync, it obliges, unlike my touch pro 2.
7. the culprit here is the network. the phone syncs with the network's time, which is minutes early, and the time zone is set incorrectly.
why doesnt my touch pro 2 obey when i tell it not to sync time with the network?
i cant text because the time is messed up and the message gets lost in the recepient's mailbox.
i hope this gets resolved soon. i've been searching for a definite fix but i found none.

marv, did you do a hard-reset right after installing that ROM? It's always a good practice, and a hard-reset is what ended up fixing this issue when it happened to me.
Found a solution that works for me
yup.. newly flashed rom.. and i hard reset a lot of times..
anyway.. i found a fix for it! i guess this is what many people around the forum are looking for. for some reason, the time synchronization setting in settings-phone doesnt seem to work.. i dont know why.. so i edited it through the registry..
go here:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
and anything that says time sync or time zone sync, i changed it to 0. all is well now. and i'm so happy i found a fix myself.

Other than editing your post above to have a title like "Found a solution that works for me", that's all I know of. You could create a new post, but I would probably hold of on that until (if) you hear from other members that your method worked for them as well
oh alright..
this problem ocurs normally when you got your phone set to synchronize the time with your network,problem is that some network don't broadcast the right time sometimes.
you can disable it by looking in phone settings for network time tab and untick the box.
setting vary from from windows builds.
alternatively import the following reg setting to you registry;

i down loaded the project android rebuild installed the cab file to the cars and installed to card. then their was a net file error so i downloaded the one they suggested from their site. no i saw some one say it requires rode400 as the phone of choice it will start up in. in advanced settings i have n America dial cdma and over clock as 768. seems like it load really fast then after about 3 mins it slows down to a stop..... did i do something wrong i mean others have loaded same program as me and their able to use the phone but i cant seem to get it to even load.... will it take up to 10mins to load? or should it lad pretty fast?
loaded it the dual boot the startup utility and the android project ProjectAndroid2.2Froyo.112210 all from the project android site... did i go wrong somewere?
and also when ever i restart my phone for what ever reason will it always take better then 10 mins for it to boot into android?
10 mins should be about the max you'd need to wait for a boot time - if it's longer, you're in a bootloop... soft reset with the pin under the battery cover, or just pull the battery.
With that said, don't overclock and make sure you're completely updated.
well i went to bed and left it in boot mode woke up it was in android mode.. recieve calls and txt but no access to the internet so i couldnt even log into goggle or anything... and its taking forever to load. and dual boot isnt even working just gives me the option for windows mobile.... thank you
so saying i am gonna modify the start up log to what viper posted in another section see if that works..
see below...
well tried the boot up viper posted.. but it just takes for freakin ever..... any one know how to seed this up please?

Initial boot takes a while. If this is honestly stopping you, then don't use Android. It's not meant to replace WinMo at this stage, so if you're expecting it to.... you're going to be disappointed.
Just stick to WinMo.
i dont know what to expect every totorial and person is telling me it should take no more then 10 mins....
well i put in a new bigger card and re loaded the android files to it.. the first time loaded in about 6 mins or so second time booted to android about 1 min... seems so far all features work. but now its cutting out and restarting the phone usally happens as i access a program like push to talk that was downloaded form the market. Is their a flaw some were that i can find that does this?
are you running the latest kernel and rootfs? sometimes it takes me 2 or 3 reboots after a fresh install for xdandroid to be stable for me. if it doesnt straiten up after a couple of reboots then try doing a full format with this software 3dub.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool.shtml i believe its what many have suggested using (a correction is welcome). then reinstall xdandroid and update the kernel AND rootfs to the latest 3dub://sites.google.com/site/androidport/project-tracking (the 3dubs are www of course, wont let me link to outside site till i post a little more lol)
hay thank you.. coulpe of issues.. i am not recieveing picture messages and its dropping the internet(3g) connection wich makes me have to reboot to android.. not worried about wifi as i never use it. also their is no back light on the slide out board or the answer call buttons and such..... also i need caller id. i get number but nothing else not like cityid on the uscc network that tells me city and state..

mms has never worked for me, ive tried playing around with some apn settings i found but never got anything out of it except maybe a broken internet connection lol. i just have my wife email them to my gmail account which she can do through mms, she just types my email instead of my phone number... it works. i had the internet dropping out problem a couple of months back with one of the kernels then but havent had the problem since. the keyboard backlight and front key backlight hasnt been implimented yet, there is a workaround by making sure the lights are on when you boot android but then the backlights stay on the entire time. i have no idea how bad that effects battery life though. as far as caller id i assume your basically just talking about for numbers outside your contacts list lol. i know uscc has city id for android as it came preinstalled on my wifes acclaim. if you can get it on the market or internet i have no idea. hopefully somebody else knows of a nifty program available on the market that does basically the same thing and will chime in. in any event you might try the 20101124_215731 kernel it was very stable for me and could fix your internet problem. i would suggest deleting your data.img file in the andboot folder when you replace your kernel it can cause problems ;-) be warned though it will create a fresh data.img file on first boot (which is one reason first boot takes longer then the rest) and youll have to set everything up and redownload your market programs again.
thanks for the reply.. i did install the kernels you suggested and then for ****s and giggles i installed the wifi kernels too. for some reason it droped a call and rebooted then went to restart again and its taking for ever...i turned on over clocking so i am gonna turn that off. not even sure what its used for.. oh and the kernel you suggested in your last post do you have a link to it please? thanks
added the previous ximage files you sugested earlier but some reason it complety crashed it and had to start over.... so re loaded blazin added gen y dual boost and the .net i needed.... just starting all over again.. i hope it runs better this time around.... i guess the id feature isnt all that important but i hope at sometime soon they get the board light working again..
i did update like you said on the other page but i didnt reload i only replaced files... if i am gonna upate the zimage and such should i reload the program then update with the kernels and such then reboot?

This issue has been resolved in FRX03, by disabling JIT. Be careful of the build.prop files floating around the 3d testing thread, they re-enabled JIT - and that bug along with it.
Hey there,
I own a HTC Desire HD running a stock 2.2 Froyo build with HTC Sense.
I have 2 problems.
1) My upload does not work properly. I cannot upload photos, videos or share anything via any app. For example, if I want to upload a photo to Facebook it would go to a random value Eg. 86% and then freeze there.
I also face the same problems in the web browser. I can browse fine but when it comes to posting in a forum, uploading or trying to enter values into a search engine, it fails 95% of the time.
This problem doesn't have to do with my connectivity as I connect using my home Wi-Fi network with full signal strength and uploading works fine on my laptops/desktop.
As far as I can remember, I have always had this problem.
Any fix for this?
2) My second problem is that the News widget by HTC has ceased to update and when I try to update it shows up as being updated even though the date shown is one week ago. I have tried to unsubscribe from feeds and resubscribe but it gave me an error message saying I could not unsubscribe. I'm guessing this might be related to Problem 1.
===============================
I really don't want to do a factory reset on my phone, so if there are easy fixes to both of those problems, it would be appreciated
Bump. (Sorry if this is against rules, tell me if it is.)
Please help me or at least give me a fair idea of what problems I could be facing. Thanks ^_^
