TomTom 5

Hello, just thought I would share my problems with you after installing TomTom 5.
I use a Blueangel (badged as XDA2S) with all the latest patches etc, but with the standard ROM.
After installing TomTom 5 I get the following problems.
1. No Virtual (screen) keyboard
2. The signal strengh meter does not display any bars or indicate the number of satellites locked onto
3. When I save my "home" position it only saves the co-ordinates in that session. If I shut down TomTom and re-start it then the "home position is lost
4. If I receive a call whilst the navigator is running, my XDA really struggles to display the telephone interface.
5. There is no option to change screen sizes
I suffered NONE of the above whilst using TomTom 3 so I have just removed TT5 and re-installed TT3 WITH NO PROBLEMS AT ALL.
TT5 worked well apart from the points above, but most of all I loved the extra detail and the super quick rastering/vectoring on the graphics whilst on the move.
Does anyone know if TT4 is worth installing, and what are the advantages of it over TT3?
Cheers

Virtual screen keyboard is a known problem, if you use "Advanced Planning" the OSKB works fine (or at least it does on my unit XDAIIs), the lack of sat info is strange are you leaving it long enough to sincro - it could take upto 20 min for the first time? is it wired or BT if wired is the IRdA ll beams still selected - if so turn it off and the wired unit will work I have had endless problems with my unit and in the end swapped it for another identical handset - and now it all works - I never got TT3 to work correctly as I use a BT headset and the TT3 locked it out from connecting, TT5 doesn't work fully with the XDAII2s using BT GPS and headset - when you terminate a call it closes down the GPS connection as well - since I have now set it all up running vs5 with wired GPS and BT headset its great - it does exactly what I want, check you settings and get back to me with more specific info if you want - mike

Hmm, intrigued that you say when you use "advanced planning" with TT5 on XDAIIs as if I use this option the OSKB is still missing

Hi, I get no problems navigating at all, but still no keyboard even using the advanced route planning.
Bluetooth worked fine with TT5 and TT3.
Cheers

OK I need to quantify that - I use the advancd planning to find destination on the map and save that as a fav, once this done the OSKB pops up and you can re-name it to what ever you want, its not ideal but I am prepared to live with it untill someone comes up with a fix - tt3 was much better but not on the XDA totally useless, having said that the new XDA O2 have given me has worked faultlesly since Saturday, perhaps the first one was a rougue unit time will tell, first impressions pretty good, no reset in three days and satnav plus phone operable whilst on the road - what it should have done in the first place

GPS acquisition times...

Hi Guys
Got my new Smartwatch 3 today but impossible to have a GPS acquisition.
Connected in BT to the phone, MyTracks app start from the watch but once disconnected, the app launch but won't start: no starting clock when clicking the red button on the watch.
Tried outside during 15mn and impossible to start MyTracks when clicking on the red button.
In developper mode / manufacterer, i can't see any GPS information: only have
Accelerometer, Gyro, Magnetometer, Vibrator, Ambient light sensor, Compass, Touch, Product id, Step counter.
Tried to restart, tried to reset the smartwatch but always no GPS acquisition.
Is there an icon when GPS is activated ?
Smartwatch software: 4.4.W.1
Build week 42
BUILD KKW60C
Android wear: 1.0.5.1630507
Thanks

IN my case there is GPS (last entry) and within 30sec I get a lock (it gives long/lat and altitude)....
However, I am on SW version: 4.4W.2....does this explain why you cannot see the gps?

I agree that its your software version. GPS was not supported on the version of android wear that was shipped with the watch. 4.4W.2 is the latest, at least until we get lollipop in a few days.
In my experience on the build with GPS support, if the watch is connected to phone at all, GPS is useless. If I disconnect it, it works and locks on in 30s to 2 mins.

:good: Many thanks... but my SW3 doesn't update to 4.4W.2 even with the reset/unpair trick seen on Youtube
Reset the watch
While the watch is resetting, unpair watch in phone via bluetooth settings
Uninstall and re-install the Android Wear app
Pair normally
Once paired on watch, before even doing tutorial, go to Settings and check for updates

Try Sony PC companion

Finally updated 2 days ago in 4.4W.2 after reading your [Guide] Soft unbrick/reflash stock firmware
Power Off the SW3 normally
Download and install PC Companion
click on "Support Zone", it will be downloaded,
click on "Accessories software update" and then you can choose SmartWatch 3 and PC Companion App waiting for a SW3 connected in USB
Start the SW3 by a long press on the power button until an image saying "connect USB"
Connect the SW3, the driver will be automatically installed.
Sony Companion App will detect that an update is available i.e 4.4W.2
Download start and the SW3 is updated in less than 5mn
This morning updated automatically in 5.0W.1
My GPS is fully functionnal and acquisition times : from 15 to 30 sec :good:

Hello,
I've a problem with my SW3. The GPS doesn't work at all in offline mode (Mytracks, Runkeeper...). No problem in online mode, with my phone.
What is weird is that it has sometimes worked before. So I decided to uninstall just a few applications, in vain. Then all, in vain. So I tried to reinstall SW3 software (5.01) with PC Companion 2 but it didn't change anything.
I tried to obtain GPS signal for around 30 minutes many times, in vain. My localisation is obviously activated. I tried in airplane mode on and off.
Do I have a defective sample ? What would you suggest ?
After that I reinitialised the SW3, it seems to work fine outside. So I guess that I had an application compatibility issue.
Thanks

Have you looked at sony's developer apps? Go to settings, tap about, tap the build number 7 times (will tell you developer mode activated), swipe away the about screen, scroll to the bottom, choose developer options, scroll to the bottom, choose manufacturer menu-launcher.
Run the gps one. If you are outside and don't get any satellites (see the last line), I'm guessing you've got a bad watch.

Thanks for the tips. It worked perfectly well. 5 satellites in my room, with my arm outside the window. And my position is correct.
I guess I had an application compatibility issue. I will install each application alone to identify the faulty one.
Do you know how I turn of the developper mode ?
Thanks a lot !

Reset the watch? AFAIK there's no harm in leaving it on, it just shows the dev options in the menu.

"Ok Google" voice command displays "offline"

Hi all,
I have sometimes the problem, that at first the watch reacts properly after saying "Ok google". It records my command and also displays the recognized text correctly, but after that it does not execute the command but displays "offline" (e.g. calling a contact or setting the alarm clock).
The connection to the phone itself (using Bluetooth to my Samsung Note 4, Android 5.1.1) is stable. I have read about this behavior also on other forums with different smart watches (e.g. Moto 360). There is some indication that the problem is caused by the phone being unable to access the Internet at the time, although it has a stable and strong 3G connection with no data restrictions set (e.g. allow background data). It also happened when the smart phone was connected to my local WiFi.
The problem is not 100% reproducible. Most of the times the command gets executed by the first try, sometimes the problems disappears after repeating the voice command several times and sometimes it disappears by unlocking the smartphone.
Have you experienced this problem as well sometimes? If yes, are you using a Samsung smartphone and which Android version are running? I somehow have the feeling it is related to the android wear app and maybe to Samsung smartphones.
I also use smart unlock, which means I can simply unlock my phone by swiping the homescreen as long as my phone is connected to the watch and have to use fingerprint unlock otherwise.

I had an LG Urbane that had this issue. I did a lot of reading and found that pretty much every Android Wear watch model has this issue, but it is seemingly random wrether or not you will experience it. I read the same thing about the Huawei watch but took a chance and swapped it for my Urbane and it has been working fine. I would try and return it for another Huawei or a different model, and also downgrade the Android Wear app on your phone to version 1.3.0.2369832 (didnt fix the connection prob for me, but did help with other issues)

Bluetooth disconnections and unpairing driving me to distraction

My issue seems to be different from others' as mine isn't just bluetooth losing its connection - it actually unpairs.
In my car (it has an Android Auto compatible infotainment system) it works fine for ages then fails to connect all of a sudden. Then after a while a message pops up on the car's screen saying "bluetooth pairing successful". The phone then asks me for contact sharing permissions. Of course it screws up the smart unlock feature as a result forcing me to set it up again.
On my Huawei watch 2 sport it loses connection and so the wear os app says the watch is disconnected. Bluetooth settings show the watch to be invisible and, as a result, smart unlock gets unconfigured and I have to set it up again. The watch battery discharges very quickly - probably constantly searching for the phone.
I reboot of both devices seems to fix it, for a while.
This is all since the Pie official update.
Does anyone have any fixes please?

No fixes but same problems here

I'm having the same issue also very frequently with WiFi dropping all the time. These two reasons are linked from what I been told. Google telling me to RMA. The pain of that

Mine has done this with my Gear S3 watch since I first got the phone a few months ago, it had me seriously considering returning it for a while. Sometimes it would just disconnect from the bluetooth, but often it would unpair causing me to have to go through the whole set up process again. It did this on Android O, various DP builds of P but so far (touch wood) has been good with the latest version of the Samsung software and Android P.

I'm having the same issues as well and currently searching for answers.

Question Problem with Android Auto in Stock Rom

I am using Stock Rom 12.5.3.0 RKHEUXM with the Poco F3. The wired Connection to my Car (Hyundai i40) is working very well. Now the problem: the Google Assistent sometimes asks a follow-on questions. In this case the microphone does not recognize any Input. Example: "Call Jenny". follow-on question from Assistent"Jenny at Home or Jenny at Work?" ...then the assistant waits for an answer, but the mic is not recognizing my answer.
USB-cable is fine. Works with Poco F1 and Samsung S21.
As far as I remember, it even worked with Poco F3 (earlier Stock Rom).
Are there other users experiencing same problem? What can Help?
Sorry, for my first post with even not knowing If it is the correct forum (or Android Auto?).

I have the same issue.
A further complication is that when connected (wired) the Android Auto display of the car won't fire up aps such as Tune in Radio etc. Says it's "Not working at present". If you pick up the phone itself and start the app manually, it then works on the car screen.
I only have the Poco F3 a short while and while it's an excellent phone otherwise this is frustrating.

I am not using AA the moment but I had a similar thingy a few months ago where opening an app (I believe it was Spotify) did not work with some similar error message.
I noticed after some attempts that at the same time (opening app in AA screen) I got some message on the phone asking to accept some safety disclaimer, which only showed on the phone itself.
If it worked before and now not I would always go for a clear cache/uninstall session with reboots.
Be sure to check out the following tweak app for AA: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...er-the-ultimate-android-auto-utility.4194239/
