I want to upgrade my XDA2 to a IIs but I don't know whether TomTom will let me do this without buying another copy of the TT software. Has anyone done this before? Would I have to send all my TT CDs back to TT to get them swapped for new, unregistered ones?
As far as I know, my copy of TT (and all the maps I've bought) is registered to my specific XDA2 so it couldn't be re-installed on any new machine that I bought.
Thanks in advance.
PS. What would happen if I lost this XDA2 and got a replacement? Same situation, I guess.
For TomTom 3, you can install to a second alternative device after 7 days has passed from initial install and then a 3rd after 6 months.
So if you have only ever installed to the one device and 7 days has passed you won't have any problem.
You can of course re-install to the same hardware as many times as you wish without affecting the install count.
If you had your hardware stolen or replaced under warranty then TomTom will re-issue a new key if you can provide documentary proof that the hardware was replaced etc.
Having said all that, CeBit starts next week and there 'may' be some news on the TomTom front Registered owners of current versions may want to watch our site for news from Mar 10th.
Thanks for your reply, Darren. I bought TT3 itself from PCWorld so that's no problem. The additional European maps my Dad gave me - he bought them off some dodgy geezer on eBay. All original but seal broken. I guess this geezer will have installed them at least once, knowing that 7 days later I'd be able to install them on another machine and all would be happy. :scratchchin: Let's hope he doesn't install them on another machine in 6 months' time. Best I upgrade my phone nice and quickly! My wife will be pleased... NOT! :roll: :lol:
It is because of tomtom and their stringent rules that keygens have been created to overcome this problem, why should you be restricted to one or two changes of phone/pda once you have bought the software? I have a genuine copy of tomtom but I use a keygen to get new codes each time I change phones/pda's, otherwise I wouldnt be able to use legitimate software as I need and it saves me having to go through the process of contacting tomtom and being told I cant have another code for 6 months.
Changing units
Hi guys,
I've just done over 8 weeks in 19 countries without my TT BT Nav3 & TT traffic because O2 replaced my unit (because it wouldn't work with TT) unfortunately they classed it as stolen :?: & gave it a new ID, (in any case I have since read in forums that the problem was caused by Chinese made 1gb SD cards :evil: which won't run with TT and freeze everything!)
Decided to wait until I got home, upgraded to an XDA IIi, but, I've tried several uninstall & re-installs but each time it says 'You have not downloaded voice files, so your TT will not work properly'
I now have FOUR 1gb SD cards (bought from aria.com) which seem ok for anything else but no good with TT, Ye Gods!!!!
After problem after problem with TomTom I hope they sort all this out with TT 5!
Who knows, maybe they'll even manage their maps down from the extremely annoying 9 unmarked disks, OOPS! there goes another pig flying over :wink:
why my dopod 838pro sometime it cannot detect a radio rom and show a NO GSM, but if detect it a radio rom and it will hang about and half hours and reset will turn back to NO GSM, is hardware or software prob, anyone can give me a solution?
Provide more information - OS version and Radio version. Its probably a hardware problem but you may try to reflash to a manufacturer's shipped version and retest.
I had the same problem basically. Phone would freeze up, get repeated NO GSM messages, drop the radio even when it finds it after several minutes of use. I did buy the phone off eBay used and it did freezeup in WM5 ALOT.
I took the phone apart and cleaned all the contacts - same problems. Reflashed manufacturer's rom again and it took. Before it sometimes would hang up - looking for GSM radio. Took it apart again FULLY and put everything back together. It is now working for the past week. No freezeups or drops. Seems to always find GSM on bootup.
last time using a official rom wm6 also freeze up, then flash it to manila2d rom, it also got a same prob, try reflash a radio rom, but always get stuck at 6%, but try and try then 100% done, but also same prob.
so ur solution is try Reflashed manufacturer's rom again?
Thats what I did but the flash alone didn't fix the problem. I don't think a rom flash will bring your phone back but you may get lucky. I had to open it up and clean and reposition things. For some reason it worked. I still get screen fade to white and the directional pad on the front sometimes doesn't work - you move the scroll wheel and it will work again. Might have to replace the dPad circuit board or flex cable. The HERMES seems to have MAJOR problems with quality control and the radios. I personally think the battery presses against a backing plate which rests directly against the chipsets. The silver plate behind the battery does flex and it shouldn't. It probably should be a little thicker to prevent flexing. The heat from charging and the pressure from the battery I think causes the radios to fail. Bad soldering also may be a problem but any pressure on a motherboard and chipsets isn't a good thing. Also screws that are too tight also may contribute to the problem.
My phone has been working for about a week. Prior to that it was getting constant NO GSM errors on bootup and dropped calls. Today the phone was out of the house for the first time in weeks and it worked without any problems - no freezes (did a lot before) and no dropped radio. It has been sitting on my desk for two weeks without any problem. Will try it a few more days and see.
herm200 no GSM
Hi! I have read all thread about no GSM from here.
I have already do many many tests, tried to flash any radio rom extracted, hard reset, mtty with set 1e 1... I have already dissasemble and reassemble it
but no one fix the problem No GSM.
I have the same probleme, sometime no gsm and sometime ok.
So please, if anyone find everything which can fix this problem please post it!
Sorry for my english!
Thanks a lot for all jobs and helps.
Hello all, my hermes had this problem too!
Sometime it works, " 1.56.70.11" and sometime no! "NO GSM"
i have done about twenty flash thinking it will resolve this problem...
After reading a topic on this problem, i have understand it was an hardware problem. Something unsolde.
I have buy "double face scotch", i have disasemble the phone completely.
And on every chip and on the "battery"( little round and flat) i have put a little piece of scotch. it will do a pression on every chip to keep chip connected on the motherboard.
From this moment, the phone has never freeze, no more "no gsm" message!
ALL IS GOOD
Sorry for my poor english.
Many things can affect the radio
Try this...
Un plug your batt... insert a big piece of aluminium under the batt over the gsm chip... it wil not work properly... Magnetic issues... the batt do this things too i prove it on a Nokia... the batt without the stick = radio problem no signal...
Abd here i got the same trouble no gsm sometimes i realized that has been a lot flashes but noup, was a dialer that makes this issues 3G phone canvas,.... back to touch dialer 3G or 2G and its good now... think the CPROG and some other is not so compatible.
Desperately please help me, my Dopod 838 Pro has No GSM!
hey dude try another rom... the roms with HTC phonecanvas 2g or 3g do this issues on my hermes dunno why... thats th reason i dont cook anymore phoncanvas on my roms.
Update Radio ROM to 1.47
I had same problem just recently, and the recommendation that I got was update your Radio ROM ONLY...I upgrade to Radio 1.47 as all the time I was loosing service connection as well as No GSM...after this, my Hermes took live again.
I had 1.16 Radio...!!! and that issue came up after upgrading to one of the so many cooked ROM...I don't remember which one...
Check this link for more info, it saved my life!!!

Cheers,
Got my desire a few days ago and the gps does not work. Fails to get a fix, gps icon flashes away forever but never fixes. Completely useless. Phoned HTC several times, some technical help people at HTC say there is a problem none are working, which is consistent with the fact a number of friends who all have the same problem with their desires and yet other HTC technical help say their is no problem but mine is broke and to return it for replacement. Anyone got any thoughts
I've been quite impressed with the GPS, fast lock and holds it. A steady 12 satellites even indoors. Certainly had no problem at all with it, UK Vodafone (although it may be a generic rom, no branding at all) handset.
are you standing outside and have a mobile network active to help with the positioning?
Sent from my HTC Desire using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Something's wrong with your unit as the GPS lock (flashing to solid) is seriously fast, like 5-10 seconds outdoors, and 15-20 seconds indoors for me.
Have you tried downloading GPS Status from the market? That can help by indicating if you are tracking satellites etc.
im outside
I'm outside testing my gps, environmental factors can also be ruled out as iPhone 3gs was tested at the dame time and locations and worked flawlessly so its definitely my phone
Same problem here. GPS status shows sometimes up to 6 satellites but never get a lock.
How do you actually see the number of satellites?
I was using Copilot, you can check number of satellites and signal strength in the GPS settings while the app is running.

There are a number of free apps in the market. GPS Status, GPS Test,...
I'm also experiencing poor/none GPS service and lock.
It's been suggessted that I reboot, sit still (not moving in car) outside with a clear view of sky, and then allow up-to 10min for phone to get GPS lock and download/store empherical(sp?) gps data. From then it should get a fast lock.
Going to try that today.
I picked up my desire yesterday from T-Life Hay st Perth. I did stuff all with it all day cos i was at work. I got home, ran market, updated maps and went outside waiting for a fix. After 45 minutes I gave up. I downloaded GPS Test and it only found 1 satellite, with a weak signal,located half way between AU & US (judging by the display in GPS Test, which i understand is only so good!).
I started reading threads on it and tried everything. Hard reset, downgraded maps, nothing worked. So I charged it all night and then this morning when i woke up i took the battery out. 30 minutes later i put the battery back in, went outside and tried to fix, 15 minutes in.. nothing.
So i went to T-Life this morning on my way to work with the desire box ready to hand it back and ask for a new one. The girl and guy were a bit dumbfounded when i explained my prob, the chick went out back to talk to "the tech" and came back about 5 or 6 minutes later and told me:
- They're aware of the issue, EVERYONE is having it
- There will be a software update shortly (i asked when)
- It will be "sometime after the long weekend"
So I thanked her and left, after all if EVERYONE is having the problem, it surely can't be hardware.
Now, how many of you with Telstra desires actually have a GPS that can hold a location? from what i read this problem is ULTRA common.
Thanks Ruxton, saves me a trip to the T-Life store in Sydney today.
Just need to be patient then... not my strong side
I'd still call or drop in at least to make your issue known. If everyone accepts it's "going to be fixed" it'll take forever. Where as if everyone lets them know they have a problem, it'll probably gain higher priority to be fixed.

i suppose this marks my return to XDA devs after quite a while (if only it was under happier circumstances lol)
but yes, i too am having issues with the GPS. As I mentioned in the thread over on whirlpool, i went back to Telstra and replaced the HTC Desire unit yesterday and am still having the same issue with the new unit.
I also called HTC's customer support line, where I was told that they were aware of the issue and their senior engineers were working on it, but he didn't have any more information other than that.
I'll also swing back into the Telstra store later on as well. I guess the more of us that complain to them, the more they'll realise it needs to be fixed!
GPS on the Desire is perfect here.. get a lock, even indoors in seconds, very very impressed
HTC told me the same
htc have been giving me different stories every day! One day it is "your desire has a useless gps chip take it back for a replacement" then I'll call again within minutes and get another saying "gps is not yet working on desire models, we will be sending out a fix" I'd love to know which is the true statement! Seems pointless my taking the unit back if they are all the same. But reading through this forum it seems people do have desires with properly working gps. On hunting round the web ive not been convinced people who say their gps is working are not in fact confusing triangulation with gps. This forum will not have that confusion so I must conclude mine is a faulty unit and return for replacement. Would have been nice, after taking the plunge with htc from apple had the customer service not been unhelpful, vague and contradictory. T Mobile were no better, when I called them the guy claimed if I can get on the internet with wifi then my gps chip must be working!
have used the latest version of Google Maps with Navigation and no problem in the UK with the Orange Badged Desire handset. Sounds like a dodgy handset, can you get it swapped out under warranty?
Yes
Yes it can be swapped under warranty but that could well be a wasted excercise if in fact its a fault awaiting a fix, then the new handset is likely to have the fault also.

Ok this started last night, tablet has been working flawlessly for the last 6 months or more.
What happened was, I wasn't able to use the Internet. Just wasn't working. And every 20 seconds or so it would flash up at the bottom of the screen "connected to (my router)".
So I turned wifi off and on, which usually fixed connection issues, but didn't help. I also restarted router, even though my computer and my phone isn't having any issues.
So then I went to the wifi settings screen to see if there was any way to reset networks. What I saw was this:
If i turn wifi toggle on and watch the screen, it would scan for networks, find the list... Couple seconds pass... Then the toggle would switch itself off and back on! And then it would start looking and finding networks again, and then off and on, and etc etc.
I have tried a factory reset and cache reset.
I have also downloaded the 4.4.2 stock rom and installed using odin for a totally new install.
Still does it.
Any suggestions? Seems very strange. It's under warranty but it seems like an odd hardware fault, seems more like software but I dunno.
Help me xda, you're my only hope.
I've been searching the Internet all day trying to find someone else havin this problem... But I seem to be the only one. And noone seems to have any suggestions.
At the moment I'm having to consider a warranty dispute, but that means however many days/weeks without the tablet which I use on a daily basis.
Not ideal Samsung.

Hey. I had the EXACT same problem. Even made a video of it and showed it to the service point personell. Turning on off on again and again, it also displays in the settings the switch just switches itself without any action of mine. It was a hardware defect. send it in and get a new one, better than being annoyed by it. Mine did it on a 5-10sec interval length...

So this is definitly a hardware fault? In which case I'll have to get in touch with john lewis and hope they will do an exchange in store. If it involves having to send it off to samsung and waiting for it..

yeah sorry to be the one to tell you this is a faulty device but it seems like this unit ain't free of errors and there quality control is somewhat sketchy.
Which android version are you running? I am asking because I run kitkat and also have relatively ****ty battery life. I use it for university so I have the screen on and write notes during lectures. Usually it lasted 7-8hours but for about a week or two it now only lasts 4-5 hours of screen time which is really ****ty.
I read somewhere that this might be a motherboard issue and if it is it might be somewhat corellated to our wifi problem. In my case they replaced the wifi module and gave me back my "old" device but this is having bad battery life so I am thinking about sending it in (again). I did however root so I would have to make use of the warranty provided by the seller, not samsung itself, since my knox is tripped.
(in Germany the sellers also must provide 6months - 2 years of warranty and there was a judgement in Europe that rooting must not have any influence on wether your device still is under warranty or not. sadly this only applies to the warranty provided by the seller, not the manufacturer)
Is your BT on and are you connected to a 2.4 GHZ network?
If so, turn off BT
I get random WiFi disconnects and reconnects from 2.4 GHZ networks when BT is on but not connected. Though, Ive never noticed the wifi switch going off and on.
I am running 4.4.2 or whatever, kitkat anyway.
Bluetooth is off, I never use it on my tablet. I dunno what network type I'm running, might be N or might be B/G, but whatever it is it what it has been for months as I havent changed any router settings lately.
I have restarted the router twice already in case this was a network problem, but the network wouldn't cause the wifi to toggle off and on, it would just cause disconnects etc. Least I assume so. I may try this just in case but like I said the network type hasn't changed lately
John Lewis are saying they won't exchange it, it will have to be sent off to Samsung for "repair". Meaning I'll probably get sent back a refurbished second hand one with a dodgy light bleed screen, as I expect they have hundreds of those lying around now.
Oh and it'll be up to 28 days. For a premium and expensive device that's less than 6 months old this just isn't good enough.

I had mine replaced as well but dont remember wether I got a new one or just my old one repaired... should have written down the IMEI I guess :-/
you're from Bristol, don't the EU rights apply there? If so your retailer should be obliged to replace or repair the device.

Anyways my replacement was done through Samsung and it took 6 days. But then again idk differences between UK and Germany...
am I just astoundingly unlucky or is there a problem ! My first M8 (new last week on a 2 yr contract from Vodafone via carphonewarehouse) arrives through the post from CFW warehouse and I happily use it for a week...i apply all the updates, all is good. Then I go to use a nav app on a walk and find it's not turning. googlemaps the same, no compass apps are working either. I return it to a CPW store on Monday and swap it for a new one. Googlemaps looks ok instore so I walk away.
That day at home I start playing and find the compass needs constant calibration so I suspect a problem and log a call with HTC. That night, I accept the 4.4.3 OTA update and immediately following that, the compass now locks up as it did with the first one.
Logged the extra info with HTC and they took me through a factory reset, cache wipe, safe mode...still same problem.
THe compass will occasionally rotate on first opening googlemaps but within seconds will 'lock' up and refuse to move unless you navigate away from the app and back again..at which point it works a few seconds then locks up again.
Anyone else got a stock M8 experiencing the same problem ? can't be just me surely ! It wasn't until this M8 that I even had the need to calibrate the compass and I've had loads of HTC's in the past..
Ant.
Hi Ant,
I have exactly the same issue. No amount of 'resetting' will fix it. The compass is off by 90 degrees and then freezes completely after a few seconds. I've only noticed this as I write 'Metal Detector' apps for Android and couldn't figure out why nothing was working properly on my new M8. The magnetics on X, Y and Z are completely screwed up, see my post here if you're bored http://www.basic4ppc.com/android/fo...applications-using-the-magnetic-sensor.45170/
Coincidentally, I also got my phone last week from the Carphone Warehouse as well...

Also I've just ran the Hall-Sensor Test using HTC's inbuilt test function. If you type *#*#3424#*#* into the phone does it fail the test also?
My hall sensor seems ok on this one...I was using a dotview case on the first unit and decided not to use it on this unit until I knew what the problem was as I was suspecting the magnet in the dotview could have been putting the compass out. It's possibly worth you (and anyone with the same problem) raising a ticket with HTC. I did it via the live chat on their website and they were very good (although you'd need to set aside time to go through the whole factory reset / wipe cache / safe mode diagnosis before they'll escalate the issue).
as with anything like this...the more people that have the issue and raise it the better but it's only you and me at present ! I also logged a call with Vodafone who said I had the option of returning it today (the last day of my 14 day cooling off period) for a replacement or different model but I said I'd like to keep it for now but wanted them to log the issue. If it's a hardware issue, we have a 2 yr HTC warranty..if it's firmware, then it'll get fixed anyway so I'd rather keep it than mess about with a different phone.....however I am annoyed because a month or so ago I vowed never to go HTC again having had 5 One X's replaced over 2 years (screen creak, faulty wifi antena - the squeeze test (had this twice), faulty radio antena draining battery), and here I am again...
Ant.
I'm using the freebee case that came with the phone. Does the compass still freeze with your replacement then?
I had the same woes with my One X but I keep returning back to HTC each time
Chris
The replacement needed regular compass recalibration...I noticed it only because I was specifically looking for a problem. It was fine all day, just needed calibrating all the time...then I noticed the 4.4.3 update notification so thought I'd accept it to see if that fixed the problem...then the compass started to freeze up completely and has been like that ever since.
The first unit I had I didn't notice any problems until the first time I USed the compass on a walk..that was a week in, and I'd already applied the 4.4.3 update..I imagine i would have had the same calibration issues had I used the compass before I'd applied 4.4.3.
Cheers
Ant.
I updated my phone to 4.4.3 within minutes of stepping outside the shop so no idea of it's behaviour before hand. The Carphone Warehouse has a 28 day windows of opportunity to replace a faulty handset. After that period it technically has to be sent away to HTC for repair/replacement. The 14 day 'rule' is the cooling off period relating to your contract (i.e. if you suddenly you discover you have no phone signal at home when the operator claimed you should have etc).
I'm getting mine replaced in a few days. A friend of mine who works at the CPW is going to see if the replacement phone is likely to be of the same delivered batch to the central warehouse in a hope of possibly identifiying a dodgy batch..
Just to keep this thread updated as well, my replacement M8 which came with 4.4.3 preinstalled this time still has the issue of the compass freezing after a few seconds.
All magnetics readings on X, Y and Z axis are zero.

had the same problem. it's the sensor_hub.img, htc screwed it up somehow. don't know, what's wrong exactly, but flashing 3.x firmware only, which contains new radio and sensorhub, fixed it for me. everything works again, beside gps... just don't get a fix, neither in sense nor in aosp based roms. sometimes one sat, sometimes two, but never full fix. damn...
Some of my friends use M8 didn't have the issues, but there's one had the same issue, didn't know why....
But the navigation is alright, only the digital compass will point the wrong direction,
my friend had contacted the HTC call center, and HTC already knew it and will enhance the digital-compass function.
I think it's software issue, but not everybody will come across it.

unfortunately it IS software issue, sure it worked just fine. then the updates came and now...
Maybe this is isolated to your carrier?
I have an AT&T M8 that's been bootloader unlocked and S-OFF'd, currently running the 3.28.401.6 firmware, and I have never had a single issue with the magnet sensor, even using a dot-view case.

Is Vodafone GSM or CDMA?
I also got the problem on 4.4.3..
sesnor stuck on 0 data..
can someone confirm the problem fixed on 3.28.401.6 OTA?
hope its not hardware.. thank you..
for me it did, at least partially, which means the following:
gps still is not working. this is on gpe & slimkat, sense shows the same.
btw, vodafone should be gsm.
I contacted UK HTC support today regarding my ticket and was told they are aware of a compass problem with ALL M8's following the last update and this will be fixed in the next firmware release due mid October 'so anytime now' . So don't hold your breath...but at least confirmed by HTC that this is a firmware issue that will get resolved.
I'm not sure what is different about my phone, but the compass is working just fine. I recently re-ran the Developer Edition RUU and let it up take OTA updates to 2.22.1540.4. Other than having to calibrate it in GPS Status, I haven't had any issues. For giggles, I took out my old Motorola Electrify, calibrated its compass, and the two were within a degree or so of each other. (which, given the hardware, seems reasonable)
my stock M8 bought a month ago took the OTA update and ended up with 2.22.401.5 (in the UK). so maybe your revision doesn't have the same issue ? I'm still a bit unconvinced to be honest. For HTC to be including a fix in a release that's already going out they must have known about the issue ages ago to be able to fix and test ready for this release. I raise a ticket a week or so ago and HTC support don't know anything about a problem....either they're rushing in a fix or tried to keep the problem a secret....or haven't fixed it at all...
does someone know, if there ARE different revisions of our m8...? haven't informed myself til now about that, maybe someone already knows the answer?
jshamlet, is your gps working? do you get a fix in gps status and tool box? btw, gps essentials is a very nice app, too

Well that was interesting. I just took my phone out to a nearby field, turned the GPS on (which I normally leave off to save battery), and the compass went wacky. I was able to recalibrate it, but it started jerking around a bit, as if it weren't updating very fast. The GPS, however, locked on to 12-14 satellites and got a solid fix. Even in my office, it is able to see 9 and get a fix.
What is odd is that the compass was pretty spot on until I turned the GPS on, and it seemed fairly stable. The minute I turned the GPS on, the compass started acting up.
