hi
I had a galaxy S3 and tomtom was working fine
i've just buy the G3, and now tomtom is not compatible :
it is not possible to download it from playstore
it seems that thew weeks ago it was possible to download it,but it was not working (display nothing because 2K screen)
do you know a way to bypass this, maybe with exposed, to make playstore think my phone is not a G3 and change screen resolution for tomtom ?
thanks
Fabien
(and sorry for my english )
I tried with xposed and app settings, but still no go. if you work out a way to make it work, pls post back !
TomTom does not work on the g3, mailed to them and there is no update planned to get it to work,so i got my money back, switched to sygic and can navigate now really well
Shame you can't get the same speed camera coverage on sygic though, that's what I wanted TomTom for
Hi all,
On my G3 I tried to use TomTome Europe with Xposed framework, changing resolution, DPI and so on. Failure.
It seems the only workaround is to run the TomTom in a dual window.
TomTom is not present in the application list you can select in dual window mode, so you need to root the phone (using PurpleDrake for example) and install (for example) Multi Window Mod from the Google Play Store.

Hi,
i read a lot of posts about getting TomTom 7 to work and how it is not working on the TP2. HTC offers a 15 day trial of Copilot which supposedly works on the TP2. You can check it out at http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=595&news_id=185. I think it could be a nice and working alternative for a full blown navigation system on the TP2. Still better than trying all kinds of dubious fixes and hacks to get TT7 to work. Maybe it's something for you

What ever - say good bye to TT because of the procedure which you have to do when you change the device
I installed Garmin Mobile XT the other night, works well.
I really like how you can search on a street name and not have to put in the city first like tomtom makes you (so many times i couldnt find where i wanted to goto cause tomtom had it in some weird city)
Anyway, works really well...
Just going to have a look at tweaking it for better response later, as it seemed to pause a second before updating at intersections.
After buying TomTom Navigator 7 retail (on SD card) and finding it wan't install at all on my TP2, tried and finally registered Copilot 7: very happy with it, works fine on TP2 with no GPS delay
I downloaded the trial, and will give it a shot at the weekend.
It`s very wird for me what u all saing. For me Tom Tom ver. 7.19 working with no problem at all. I just bought my tp2, even did`t do hard reset, i did`t do anything, and tom tom works strait after instal it.
We are talking about the retail version of TT7 preinstalled on 4 GB microSD card: it refuses to install on any device that isn't on the official list, like Diamond and Raphael (tried unsuccessfully on TP2 and Xperia X1).
I am using TT6 Navigator (same version that was on my P3300) due to the lack of maps for North America.
I needed to install WVGAFIX3 before I was able to view TT6 correctly though.
I found that Copliot works fine, but can be quite innacurate at times. If I'm driving on a road that's next to a motorway, it can sometimes jump me onto the motorway which I never found with TomTom. The lag is not _too_ bad, but it's still not great, just better tham TT7.
I've just installed a trial for Navigon, and I have to say, it's more polished than CoPilot, and smoother than TT7, although there is still some lag which is REALLY beginning to frustrate me
I found Copilot to be quite inaccurate as well in my recent tests. I am downloading Navigon now and giving it a shot.
Hmm navigon 7 is constantly freezing the device. Which version did you install?
Managed to get it to work with the files provided for the Xperia http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443453. It looks pretty crappy as the graphics have not been adapted to WVGA, but In the end the navigation counts
Its a hellofalot faster than copilot anyways.
Too bad, there is not uninstall capability (copilot live downloaded from HTC support) when you done with the trial. So end up you have to delete the folder manually and not good cause it will stay at your registry.
Luckily I have a full backup before install this.
I use to be a TomTom user and always had problems finding the GPS unit if the GPS hadn’t been previously activated. I use to load either Goggle maps or Live Search, let the program active the GPS unit and then load TomTom, this worked 100% of the time.
I'm now a VERY happy Garmin XT user. No problem with finding the internal GPS unit, fast loading and very quick contact address search.
I did a two day test run with Copilot and Navigon and I found Navigon to be the much better solution. Copilots behaviour was erratic at best, it jumped between cities and even when it worked it was slow as hell and inaccurate. Navigon worked just fine and was fast and accurate as well so I'll stick to that one.
Ah and I had to manually kill Copilot as well as no uninstaller was there.
copilot 6 on touch pro 2
didnt want to start a new thread so i have resurrected this one. does anyone know if copilot 6 will work on the touch pro 2 (WM6.1). looked everywhere online but no answer. it seems i am the only broke dude trying to run such an old program on a shiny new device. (excuse is i,m waiting for copilot 8)
If copilot 6 did work it wouldn't look pretty - I ran my existing CP7 on the TP2 and the higher screen resolution distorted everything - personally having the wrong aspect ratio on things drives me up the wall so I found it pretty distracting.
Kudos to ALK support though, I emailed them asking about an upgrade of CP7 to CP7-HD (which does support the TP2) and they sorted it out for me without charge.
Thanks matey. Wont bother installing then. I didnt want to go through the stress of installing it and finding out it didnt work or look good. I actually bought copilot 7 HD but returned it cos it didnt say HD on the pack. I was also going to download it from ALK,s website but I thought, what the heck its almost 2 years old, Copilot 8 will be released soon so I,ll wait for that.
Cheers
CP7 loaded just fine on my TP2, and works (even in landscape mode), but it's method of telling you the routing is questionable (missed several turns and junctions, really disconcerting, the map's right, just the audio feedback seems stuffed to hell and back), and the less said about it's handling of things like POI and safety camera files from other sources is best left unsaid, or I'll go into foul language mode (seven %*£&%$ notifications after the other for each £%&$%* camera?!)...
I have to find a card adaptor for the next trial, which'll be Navigon...

You don't need a card adaptor per se, I installed it on a usb memory stick and copied it later to the sd card on my TP2.
I’m using Sygic Aura.
Have a few question. I guess they are pretty general:
Can I change voices in some way?
When I try and navigate to a contact, I have to update its position in the program. Is there a way to get it to understand the contact address right away?
When I’m using Sygic Aura and is logged in to their live service I see pictures of certain locations (they appear as icon sized pictures). Can I preview the in a larger format in some way?
Anyone here have a clue?
I'm having problems with mine. The software installs correctly, but cannot get a GPS fix, which keeps flicking on and off so that the map display constantly jumps between active coloured map and greyed out maps when the GPS signal disconnects. I'm using LeeDroid ROM. I have used the same trial on my Desire HD with no problems (also LeeDroid ROM).
Anyone have any ideas what might be the problem? No point buying the software if I can't get it to work...

i had the same problem on my desire, works fine on my DHD though, maybe you should wait a bit longer for a gps fix

That's interesting - it suggests the software is a bit flaky. I left it running whilst I went for a drive, and it did the same for about 40 minutes, and never got a full fix. Worked perfectly on the Desire though. Very strange. I won't be buying the full version at the moment that's for sure!
i got aura fully working on my DHD with fast gps fix
i have read some tips and tricks
install aura apk
reboot
download map
start aura and setup to your needs and likes
reboot
before using it to navigate, let it atleast fix once (stationary) completly
than you should have a fix almost directly(i have, even in my appartment)

Thanks I'll give it a try
BTW in my original post I should have said the trial works on my Desire, and not on the DHD. However, I have tried the above suggestion, and got the whole thing working. It's interesting that you can download the entire world in maps if you want, for a 7 day trial period. need to drive fast then!
I'm not happy with Sygic Aura at all.
First I really liked it and bought it but there are now 'bugs' introduced which renders this door to door gps software as useless.
Since ver2.1x you do not get arrival time (owww small bug according to the support team)
Last couple of weeks I noticed that in some big streets there is no way to insert a house number, euhm excuse me on a road that is about 10km long in the middle of Brussels, not so funny if you have professional contacts and you have to drive in that jungle staring at house numbers.
I just tried another couple of my other addresses and no house number, just unbelievable.
Tried my colleagues Navigon and tried iGO on my WinMo pda and house numbers everywhere, so software bug.
The support says that they are working on it and that it would just take weeks to solve the 'small bugs'.
At this moment I am so angry that I am going to claim my money back via paypal.
I can't even get it to run.
It was all ok for a while and then I flashed a new rom and it started force closing on me after I reinstalled it.
Can't really be bothered with it since the routing was gimp anyway.
I think Sygic have some work to do...
Latest version of Aura is still way to buggy for everyday use.
It has, in my opinion, the best looking UI of most (maybe all) SatNav apps for Android, but it has some serious flaws when it come to giving directions.
I have previously written a post on my views here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874988
Dazultra and I have also done a SatNav comparison:

Please have a look
I tried Aura on my DHD for some time. Did every tric I could find to get a stable GPS based position, but my location keeps jumping around or is lagging behind for sometimes 30 second.
Driving in the city this is unacceptable. I'm missing turns because Aura thinks I'm still 50-100 meters back.
I installed GPS Status and used it to force a cold boot for my GPS. Put it outside on my gardentable for 1 hour (10 min would have been more than sufficient, but I forgot all about it )
No improvement with jumpy and lagging position in Aura.
So now I removed Aura again and thats too bad. Sygic Aura is at this moment the nicest looking and most complete (incl. rather cheap traffic info) nav. system.
On the other hand, I would realy like IGOmyWay or IGO PRIMO on my DHD with full resolution. I threw out my WM (Touch HD) phone some weeks ago on which I had PRIMO including working TMC. That was fantastic, and fully configurable (sys.txt).
Let's see what the next months brings us.....
Sygic Aura on Desire HD
Hi everyone
I've just started using Aura on my Desire HD - impressed with the UI etc, but have a couple of niggles which people may be able to help with...
I've got the paid version 2.1, build R-20021, running on stock Desire HD, android 2.2
Changing voice - I've browsed the files using Astro and I have a female voice (amongst others)... how do i change the settings to use this voice file?
On my version, I can only turn on/off voice navigation, though i can change the different alert/warning sounds.
Re: speed camera/speed limit database... does anyone know how often this is updated? I'm based in UK and a local mainroad is indicating the incorrect speed limit (it changed from 60 -> 50 about 4years ago)...
Thanks in advance
Does someone recongnize the lagging behaviour of Aura as I describes 2 posts ago?

Me too. I drive with constant speed and the cursor freezes or de-accelerate then accelerates... then de-accelerate again... etc.. With navigon and Igo everything is fine! I have DHD with leddroid but It was the same with stock 1.72
I have exactly the same GPS-lagging problem with this program. Really odd though, as you would expect that the program gets the GPS info from android, just like any other navigation program (i.e. google maps).

I also noticed the gps lag and it's terrible! This renders the app useless wich is too bad as I also like the user interface alot... Im using the latest Aura v2.1.3
No matter what the ROM, the Phone is always looking for searching for gps on the navigation app. Don't know what to do :l

Perhaps you use Google Latitude unwillingly?
Install GPS Status and Toolbox from the market and open it. If given the option to download AGPS data, choose yes. Let it run for at least 10 minutes. Make sure you are outdoors and in clear view of as much of the sky as possible (no trees or buildings blocking large portions of the sky). Do you see any activity on the top circular display (green dots appearing that symbolize the satellites being tracked) or bars appearing on the bar graph below the circular display?
Did the GPS work at all on the stock shipped ROM? What custom ROMs have you tried so far? You need to supply more info.
gps working fine in my original shiped rom htc g2, now i have htc hd2 i installed android [28.June.2011][MAG/cLK] NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.8 [GRJ22/Android2.3.4][K: tytung_r10]

Was wondering if anyone else was able to download Need for Speed Shift from the market. I bought it for 10 cents a few days ago on my Fascinate. I bought my Nexus on launch day and noticed I cannot find this app. Unknown Sources is enabled and I have been on ARHD since day one, updating almost daily. Maybe it is just not compatible with ICS? Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.
Pull the app off your Fascinate and install it on your Galaxy Nexus. Maybe it works and they haven't tested it.
It shows up under my purchased list in the market (on GSM Nexus).
I, too can confirm the same problem. Moving from a fascinate with cm7 to the nexus. Online, the market says it's incompatible. I don't believe it, so I'll try what the other post suggested and pull it from the fascinate.
hy
in my nexus really good run this game.
full screen, and fast. no any problem.
install may be 1.62 version, download with wifi data, and run
able to install the game apk from market ... however when its trying to download additional 100MB of data ... nothing happens and phone just sits there ...
Same problem here. I cant find it in market so i tried to recover it from titanium backup but it blocked, tried to activate the data converter, nothing. Finally installed extracting the apk manually from backup folder and it was stuck on the additional download page but the market crashed immediately and i couldn't run it anyway. Uninstalled and after a reboot the market returned working...
I think we have to wait an update from ea.
Ps: the exactly same thing happens with the sims 3 but Worms for me works, except for some crashes and touch sometimes doesn't work so i have to restart the app...
I have a completely stock GSM GN and i bought nfs shift for 10c for christmas from the android market and it worked perfectly....wtf?
EDIT: hmm... uninstalled the game 2 days ago and now i cant find it in the market..
Hi there, i got desire HD with Android Revolution HD 7.0(2.3.5 (Gingerbread) + Sense UI 3.5 )
and i got some questions.
1. I have installed CurrentWidget in order to check on my battery and i set the log correctly but the application is not making any log ? Do i need to keep it running or its running by it self?
2.I got Samsung ue55d8000 TV and i connected it to my wireless AP(phone also connected to it) and Samsung Remote cant seem to find it?
ps. Connection works on TV and on phone.
ok i fixed the samsung problem, it was firmware upgrading to new got it working.
anyone for this current wig. ?
If you have any task killers exclude Cur. Widg. from it, and be sure to actually place the widget on the home screen.
Goto Curr.Wid from Settings-> apps. Clear the data and force close. then restart the application. probably this might work.
canabi 1859
ok i kinda fixed it dont know how
one some more questions coming
3. ok after cleaning my antenna contacts i get better gps reception i can fix on 7-9 sats. in like less then 30seconds, but when i keep start walking(was in park trees only 500m around me clear no buildnings) i start losing sats one by one.
i installed igo my way 8.4.3.179971 put maps on it and everything else i started it and i got fix on my location but when i started walking (same in park) it says gps lost and gps off.
So my question is this rom related problem or hardware or even application?
4. How can i force phone to install applications on Sd card?
try GPS fix given from android revolution thread....
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
i tryed was working good but then i found
