Hi,
Is there a way that we are able to go to the contacts in the HTC-P3300 and hold the contact so that it links with the Tom Tom to navigate to that specific destination?
Thanks,
I don't know about going TO TomTom FROM contacts, but you surely can do it from within TomTom:
With TomTom active, tap the screen to bring up the options menu. Then click "Navigate To." Now go to the second page in that menu and you should see the "Contact" option. Click it to browse your contacts and navigate directly to the ones for which you have addresses. It's pretty cool!
Good Luck!
While in Contacts list, long click on a contact with an address and a menu will pop-up, select "Navigate to".
Hi Zerimar I have tried that however there is no navigate to. I did a factory restore which reinstalled 6.020. I also installed the 6.010 back to 6.020. I have called TT and they are supposed to get back to me.
Thanks,
Stupid me. I replied without checking my device. This options seems not to be available in tt6 but I just installed the PIMAddIn.cab from tt5 and it works.
could you email it to me at [email protected]?
Where do you install it.
Thanks,
I've checked the .cab file with WinCE Cab Manager and I have not found any registry entries. It just installs .dll files in the \Program Files\Contact Navigation\ directory thus it should work on WM5 devices. Remember my device is only running W2003SE.
Hi,
I took the PIMAddIn.cab and installed it in the same folder however when i double click on it all my contacts open up. The navigate to is still not there.
Hi Zerimar,
I followed your instructions. Everything works now.
Thansk a million!!!!!!!!!
Just curious guys, what is the advantage to getting the option within your PIM contact list when TomTom is going to open anyway when you navigate? Why go through all that work to hack an option that is available to you from within the program itself?
Just wondering...

TomTom 6.02 has the "Navigate to contact"option! You do not need extra cabs to do this. When you select "Navigate to" you then use the arrow to the next page, and the 'Contact" option is very clear for you to select.

The original question (in a rephrased fashion) was the possibility of activating tt6 and navigating to the contact's address from Outlook Contacts. This was a feature in tt5. With the small trick, I can have it both ways.

In a way I agree with your line of thought, but when dicin raised the question and I found out that "Navigate to" was no longer an option in Outlook Contacts the idea poped-up. The hack took about a minute and doesn't occupy much space. Now we can have it both ways.
I noticed on the HTC-P3300 using the feature does work however it is slow. That is the only part that is slow. I also noticed that company names do not show up. If you use contacts and calendar heavily through outlook it is much faster than going within TT.

You're welcome dicin. Btw, you can retain the PMAddIn.dll and the PMAddInXXX.dll (XXX=language of choice) and delete the rest.

I think it looks slow because tt has to fist load, etc. What do you mean by comany names do not show up?
Btw, I pm'd you regarding quick gps fix, any ideas?
If I have in my outlook a contact listed by company name only it will show up as a blank listing in the TT contact list.
In the TT it is slow when you type in the contact list letters to find a specific name otherwise everything else is great.
The HTC works very good even though the processor speed. I have been able to have the wifi, gprs, phone mode and GPS navigation on all at once with no problem. It will navigate and receive calls with no problem. The volume is great and the reception is outstanding. I have had many phones and I mean many. I also modd all kinds of Moto phones and this is the first WM5 and must say i am impressed.
I have read your PM.
Where do you want me to send the files? It will be towards the end of the day.
Cheers,

Copy the cab file somewhere in your device, ie. Storage Card. Using an Explorer program, go to where the cab file was saved. Double-click on the cab file and do a soft reset. If you want you can delete the undesired dlls from the folder \Program Files\Contacts Navigation\. Be sure to keep the PIMAddIn.dll and the dll file of your language choice.

Thanks in advance.
I use Cubed music player mainly for my music, but today I found that all of my music tracks were duplicated (or triplicated, if that is a word!). I checked with the connected music player as well, and even there there were multiple listings. However, only one track will play.
I then moved all the tracks to my HDD but the listings were still there, and wouldn't play. I tried to search for playlists but could not find any. Also, if I delete any (fake) file using the connected player, the main track gets automatically deleted from the SD.
I could transfer all the files again to my HDD and delete all the files using the connected player, but then I have to do this for hundreds of songs as I can delete only one file at once. I searched and found this to be quite common problem, but there were no solutions! Can anyone please help me with this? I am going bonkers!
Getty going into settings-applications, manage applications, then select' media storage' and clear data.
Thanks but no thanks I went to manage applications settings screen but there was no 'media storage' to clear data. Is there anything else that I can try?
Should have said to make sure you look in the 'all' tab in manage applications, the default view is only ' downloaded'.
There are no tabs at all in the screen!! I am running on stock eclair.

The same problem happened to me, I even got so desperate I deleted all of my music in my SD card, but the crappy Connect Music Player doesn't give you an option to at least scan your library, right?
This happened to me when I tried using WinAMP on my phone, I guess there's something wrong with using 3rd party apps. -shrug-
I tried a lot of "scan media" apps from the market, but none of them worked for me. Check those out, maybe that can work for you.
In the end, I did a factory reset and that solved my problem.

@psixda: Which app button? There is no app button! Is it possible for you to help me with some screenshots?
@Zinshin: I want to avoid that path if I can
If you don't have a way to see all your applications in 'manage applications', I think you have a problem or you have gone into a different menu.
Problem Solved!
@superfastmonkey: Thanks for all your help, but sadly it did not work as I am still looking for that tab! However, I found a solution:
I had another MicroSD card which I swapped in the current one. Voila, the dummy playlist was not there. But when I inserted the original card, it came back. So the problem is with the card, right? I simply backed up all the folders to my HDD and formatted the card. (NOTE: The copied size was different; I guess there was some problem in the card as hidden files options was checked). Anyways, after formatting, I copied everything back and lo and behold, everything works fine and I won't go insane anymore over this!
If you have Eclair, in manage aplications there are no tabs.
You have to push the menu button (bottom-left, obviously), and there must be an option like "view" or something similar. In there should be "All".
"Media Storage" could be written in your language. In my spanish phone, it is "Almacenamiento de medios".
Good luck!

Nah.. it's not there. If I hold down the menu button, I get two options:
1. Sort
- by size
- a to z
2. Filter
- All
- Running

Anyways, does not matter now. As I said, problem solved
EDIT: Now it struck me.. All!!
I've flashed mimicry 1.5 ROM. But it has this little bug. When set personal ringtone of a contact sometimes it plays on call, sometimes play default ringtone. I google it but can't find solution. I never had this problem with my stock ROM (2.3.3). Any ideas?
ive noticed this on various roms as well, it would be rather annoying if it were a bigger deal to me but i just stopped using ringtones allocated to one person. the fix would be take that sound from the sdcard and install it directly itno the system ringtones
easiest way may be a file explorer like root explorer, but you could use terminal or adb or various other methods as well

Okay, so here it is...
Same exact thing has happened to my wife's phone, but not mine. We even went to the store and tried a brand new phone and same thing! But...We just figured it out! Okay, so here we go...
Edit: If you are not a user of Google contacts, then do not do the merge described below because this will overwrite your phone contacts with your google contacts. Only do this step if all your Google contacts are up to date and include all contacts in your phone.
From within your computer, go to your Google contacts, the is a "My Contacts" label. At the bottom, there is an "Other" label. Somewhere in there are duplicates, so the phone doesn't know which to assign the cutom ringtone to. Go through and clean up all Google contacts, plus add the "My Contacts" to any contact that doesn't have it. Then delete any from the "other" list and any doubles in the contacts. Then, on your phone, open contacts and go to menu-more-settings-save new contacts to, and select Google. (Trust me on this one...PLASE DO THIS.) Then go to contacts, menu, and select Merge with Google. (You may lose contacts that you've put in your phone from your phone, but this is the only time this will happen.) From this point on, anything done in the Google contacts will instantly update in your phone and vise-versa, but more importantly, your ringtones should work when assigned to individual contacts.
If that doesn't work, let me know, there is one other thing to try. Good Luck!

It is important to now that this bug appear from time to time. Also i've tried to use app as contacts and phone replacement but unfortunately it using contact & contacts storage and it's a little bit useless
What i did so far and it doesn't work:
Formatted phone numbers without dashes and spaces
Tried to store contacts locally and to google contacts
Tried to convert all of my ringtones to the *.ogg for minimizing resource needed
Tried 3rd party app
I'm open for suggestions. From other thread i realize the problem may be is this little lag that appear from time to time
Ok first is Sweet Home WiFi Picture Backup by SweeSoft.
It automatically uploads your pictures and videos to your home
computer when connected to your network and charging. You can
change what it uploads, where it uploads, and when it uploads. The
Free Alfa version works great for me with no limitations, I will
definelty be getting the donate version of this one.
Next is SanDisk Memory Zone by SanDisk Corp.
I found this totally by accident, it tests your sd cards speed,
shows how much space is left on internal and external sd cards,
and links to many online accounts to show how much space you have left.
It has its own file browser that lets you upload/download files between your
sd cards and online services. It also has a backup/restore feature
to the online services. I have found it very useful managing files across
several logins/accounts.
Finally is one I found in an old Titanium folder from my EPIC 4g
It is Called WifiBackup w/ 2-Way Sync by MobileFramework
I was only able to find a reference to it on AppBrain but no file, there
is a WifiBackup Pro for 1.99 but it hasn't been updated in a while. This
app was a favorite because you could set it to run at a certain time or hit it
manually and it would backup your entire sd card over wifi to your pc. Set up
was a breeze and it syncs both ways. I'm not sure yet if it backups both internal
and external. I will update post when first sync finishes.
So what are your best/coolest apps?

Heres how i did it.
In win7 set up another user account with admin rights.
Go to root directory on your PC and create a folder to save the pics in.
Right click on folder and choose share with, in blank box click arrow then the new user name then add.
In the bottom box to the right of the new user name click read and then change it to read/write.
It will then give you the share name. You'll need this and the new user/password.
In Sweet Home App Use full settings
Automatic Upload chooses when the app uploads your pictures
Select Collections chooses which folders on your phone to upload
Next
if your connected to your WIFI at home just choose next. You have to be connected to your home network for the set up.
Next
enter your user name and password in to the user information boxes.
under Network Share Press button to browse.
Press IP/Name and enter your computers name or internal ip address. Then your back button. Choose your share folder. Then your back button.
Next
in Organize folders I chose '-' and Seperate Collections
The first one decides how it groups your photos i chose none. '2013' would group them in folders by year taken '2013/01' would group them in folders by years and month. The Seperate Collections keeps the folder names you have set up on your phone. So pictures in Camera\vacation on the phone would be saved as Camera\Vacation. if you grouped by '2013' you would get Camera\vacation\2012 Camera\Vacation\2013 .....
That should get you going. The biggest pain is making windows share the folder. I have noticed it hangs up on large videos sometimes but i think it might be my router as the only thing that fixes it is to unplug and replug the router. Rebooting the PC, rebooting phone, Cycling WIFI on/off, or clearing app cache wouldn't let it start back up, but unpluging and repluging the router has fixed it everytime.
Hope that helps

Dropbox and other cloud services are great if you have the extra space. I usually take lots of pics and videos that would use up the initial 5gb pretty quick, plus having to upload and then download back to computer. Once you get the windows part done you are pretty well set. File managers like astro and solid explorer can then be setup so you can access your PC shares from your phone for easy file transfers without plugging in.

My phone was infected with stalkerware, they had access to my files, could view what was on my screen, listen into my mic, view my cameras remotely, everything! It's incredibly creepy! From what I can tell they somehow loaded q hacked version of Google Chrome and or android web viewer. After getting suspicious I downloaded Kaspersky and ran a scan, I found 2 versions of Google Chrome on my phone one of them had the dual messenger app icon on it. The other one said it wasn't a current version from the apps store. I Uninstallerd and downloaded the current version through the app store. I tried to see if a packet sniffer would lead me to them but I think I was too late by that point. I also pulled the Chrome app qnd decompiler it. There was some weird things in there like ignore playstore version but nothing that I could find that would lead me to who was watching me. Is there anything I can still do that will lead me to who did this? I have a strong idea of who it was but need evidence so I can prosecute them. Any help would be appreciated. Im putting up a 500 dollar bounty if anyone can help me get some solid evidence.

Try logging into your Google account from a computer. Look at what devices have access to your account. I looked at mine a couple of months ago and saw a phone I never owned on AT&T. Funny thing is I have NEVER had AT&T. I've always and still have Verizon. I immediately removed, blocked and reported the device.

Did you delete the corrupt Chrome already? The IP history may be in there...
you wish to find your IP address Internet history, you can easily do so directly from your Internet browser.
Step 1
Open your Internet browser, and click on "Tools" located in the horizontal menu bar at the top of the window.
Step 2
Click on "Internet Options"
Step 3
Click on "Settings" located beneath the "Browsing History" subheading.
Step 4
Click on the "View Files" button to find your IP address Internet history.
If you post the chrome apk that you dumped or anything else that you have that was related to the "infected" files, they might be helpful in looking for clues.
These are the apk files that I suspect could have been infected. Unfortunately I didn't pull them until after they were updated. But I believe there is still a change log kind of manifest if you decompile them.
On mobile? Im not seeing those options

From what I can see, those apks unfortunately appear to be normal un-tampered files. The manifest I believe you are referring to is a component of the apk that dictates things like permissions and interfaces, but it does not perform any sort of logging or historical record sadly, as the entire apk is replaced when an app is updated or installed over an existing installation.
I am not sure how much cleaning you have done of your device since it happened, but aside from clues or records which might be available from various services you use (finding connected accounts that aren't yours, history of any account activities that weren't initiated by you, etc), your next best bet would probably be to dig through the files on the device in search of anything that shouldn't be there. Hopefully there is still some artifact of the infection which could potentially point towards its origin. I will follow this thread, happy to dig through files in my spare time.
Does anyone know if android keeps a log of installs or qnything in the root folder perhaps?
Isn't there a relation between duplicate app instances and secure folder?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes but I've never set up secure folder. Never felt a need to.
First thing I do is a factory reset (and hope that gets it) and reset the Google password.
Keep that bloody device 100% isolated from your PC and data backup copies including the SD card*. Wipe the SD card in the device before the reload and again after the reload. Do NOT connect the card or phone to your PC before the new load is proven clean. Load data directly to SD card from the PC then to the 10+ just in case.
Try to piece together when and what did it but that is a secondary concern. Consider it a drill.
Better get while the gettings good... that level of being compromised means no time to lose ditching the OS. I most likely wipe the SD card too and use one of the clean data backups I keep for just such an event. Torch all data on the device.
If it gets into your backup data copies you're boned.
OSs are 100% expendable, critical data is not.
*you can scan it with everything on the planet and still miss trojans, tainted jpegs/pngs, etc if no definitions exist yet. Expect multiple hidden infections now and go full nuke.
Isolating the infection to that device is only priority. It's possible the infection(s) are already on one or more backups and/or your PC. That's why it's important to keep multiple time staggered backups on multiple electronically isolated hdds.
I keep a 3 tier backup and my PC is never internet connected.
Keep your head and limit the spread...
