I have a new copy of TomTom Navigator 7 and want to use it on my HTC HD Mini. It was supplied on a 4GB card but as I've got a 16GB card installed in the phone I've copied the contents over.

Originally I fitted the memory card they sent me into the phone but it kept reporting that this version was not compatible with this phone.

How did others manage to get this working on the HD mini...:confused:

If you use "search feature", you'll find a lot of post about Tomtom...

The official version is not compatible with HDmini, you have to look for another software version, modified...
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Roy_S:
Thanks for the reply, I did read some of the other posts but thought that they had managed to get the new version to work. I've used an older version (WM5) on an older HTC phone for a few years. The HD mini being the newer 6.5 you'd have thought it would work and still be compatible........:mad:
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] francois64:
Roy_s

Like you , i've been disappointed to notice that Tomtom is unable to sell a correct version for a new mobile like HDmini while you can find one easily on the net .

I have asked them about this without correct answer at that moment !
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Roy_S:
I did the same, they can't even say when it will be tested or even if it is on the list to be tested with this phone.

I've since found the file ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab and will try running that to see if it then allows me to run the installation.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] MobileMini:
If im right, im still using this version succesfully:

TTN_7.916.9192_QVGA_black_fixed_BT

You need the QVGA version with the Bluetooth fix, or else you will get errors.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Roy_S:
Yes did see a post about TTN_7.916.9192_QVGA_black_fixed_BT but someone reported the GPS lagged. Have tried to search for that file but can't find a site that allows me to download it.

Still need to confirm the installation steps, do I run the cab first then install Navigator 7 or are there other files that I need to copy over..?
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Roy_S:
No problem, I have purchased the latest Navigator 7 from TomTom, just need help from everyone to get their software working.....:rolleyes:
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] MobileMini:
The cab is Navigator 7 (TTN=TomTom Navigator). I can't imagine you can't find the file after a thorough google search...

Yes, there is some GPS lag. This can be solved by installing GPSmod driver:

Tomtom7 working perfectly in hd mini.

Hello, is more 'than a year I use tomtom 7 - although I prefer (IGOPRIMO1.2) per hour with only ris.480X272 - TTS, but much more detailed than the TomTom. I'm leaving screenshot .... screenshot4 in particular. Here's the data that I use TOMTOM WORKING PERFECTLY! Else can not .........:rolleyes:

P.S. my vers. not to install but copy / paste to SD card. Start navigator.exe.;)
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Roy_S:
The only copy is on a Dutch share site that you need to be a member to download, tried a number of variations of the name but nothing labelled as BT fix.

So I tried ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab which I loaded to the phone memory. It found my map on the memory card and it asks for the activation code but then returns message saying its not valid..?

It's a legal map (Western_Europe_1GB) & code I purchased so should not be a problem.

Maybe I should delete all of the files that TomTom sent me on the SD card and just put the map on there in case their Navigator 7 files are causing the problem.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] oregon69:
In fact .... I tried that (cab) you say ..... but does not work. You have to find a zip file, where there is only one folder. you just have to (COPY IN SD CARD) exe = navigator.exe. no installation on device! Then you have to validate your map.

p.s.To run you must first validate the MAP. by the code of your device you need the code for tomtom. the code of the device (it IDENTIFYING YOUR PHONE) is one that I deleted on screenshot4.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Roy_S:
Thanks for the reply, I'm not sure I understand fully.

The cab I have loaded (ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab) you say does not work, which one did you use & where can I get it?

I can't find any file called navigator.exe either in the phone or on the memory card or the SD card that TomTom sent me.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] oregon69:
Hello. You can not tell you more, because it violates copyright laws ......

I try to make you understand:

1. tomtom program:

time ago I tried (ttn7.917.9186_vga_black.cab) but I had problems .... then turning the net I found a file.zip. Inside a folder (Navigator). if you find that you just file.zip estract in sd card root. start *. exe. The version that I use are in screenshot4.

2 then you have to unlock the MAP,

ie have the license (serial number that you derive from your serial device). Your serial device appears when you start tomtom for the first time. (registration map).

I hope you understand.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Roy_S:
Thanks for the reply, my version is a purchased copy from TomTom so I'm not violating anything I'm just trying to get it to work. The steps I've done so far are:-

Loaded TomTom 7.916.9192 QVGA black bt.cab

> Bttrayce error reported at boot up, deleted files BtCoreIf.dll & BtSdkCE30.dll, rebooted phone

> No error message

> Run Navigator, "Western_Europe_1GB map has not been activated" message

> Entered code from TomTom, message to say "Activating"

> Error "Activation failed. Sorry this is not a valid map activation code for Western_Europe_1GB"

The map is valid, it was supplied on a memory card with the activation code by TomTom, I have only copied the map to the memory card in the phone, none of the other files on the card supplied by TomTom.

I seem to have got over the Navigator installation problem but can't get the map to activate...? Its like this cab is not compatible with the latest map I have.
[HD Mini Themes and Apps] Roy_S:
I have got TomTom v7 working on the HD mini.

As this was a purchased copy I contacted TomTom support and they manually activated the map, I loaded their activation file and all working.

I have noticed a little lag, not by much, but if I compare to an older phone running TomTom my new version seems to be 10 to 20 meters behind....?

Is this the GPS lag that others have pointed out, is there a latest patch to correct this...?

Not tried the home application yet either.

Read my post 9 in this thread, GPSmod driver should fix it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TPizzle:
Hey guys I have an issue with my Captivate that just started earlier today. I got my Captivate a few days ago and the first thing I did was root it then flash a rom (latest FireFly) on it, I also went through a few themes since then and everything was great. Today I decided to switch the battery with a third party battery I have for the samsung i9000. Once I started up the phone, it hung at the boot screen for a bit longer than normal. Once I made it onto the homescreen, it asked me to pick a launcher, I picked launcherpro and its settings was reset (my widgets, homescreens, and apps were not as I placed it). The Captivate also vibrates in bursts of 1, then 2 in a row, signaling a FC I'm assuming. ANd thats what happens, all my startup apps keep force closing (alarm clock, titanium backup, battery widget; which isn't even on the homescreen anymore, etc.) I went back to the OEM battery and still getting the same thing. I don't know what else to do at this point, the FCs at startup keeping coming, and its as if all the settings I set we rewrited (for example, no notification for weatherbug, yet it comes up at boot). TIA for any replies.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Try to clear everything in cwm, as well as dalvik and reboot your phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Do you have another launcher on the phone? If so, remove Launcher Pro and reinstall. See if that helps, that is if you have another launcher. ;)
[Samsung Mesmerize] raisedinal:
I have Showcase Froyo with PNPv3 and all works GREAT! except text if write a long one, (problem when long enough to break up the text to multiples but also there when I keep under 1 text, so it doesn't break into two) the receiver gets symbols and punctuation. They usually respond that its junk and I send a short one and it goes through.

I believe it happened with 2.1 but didn't send long ones enough to realize it was consistent. but last night I purposely sent multiple long text to see if it was an always thing and none came through?

Anyone else run into this?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texas83:
Questions about my upcoming Nexus S!

1. Once rooted, will the ROMs in the dev section work on the cdma Sprint Nexus? I know the current ROMs are for the Tmobile device.

2. Is there a way to free up internal memory above the 16gb? I am coming from a HTC hero, and using Firerat's Custom MTD Partitions (resize Data,System and Cache) I was able to triple the amount of internal storage. Something similar for the Nexus?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=754805

3. Pros/Cons of all the ROMs out there please. With the Hero, I am using CM7 and love it. But Nexus has sooo many to pick from. Need something stable that does not sacrifice speed!

4. Wifi tethering app - will it tether 4G from the Nexus?

5. MODs - any other Mods out there that are just killer?

6. Best way to move all my apps over from my existing hero to the Nexus?

THANK YOU!!!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
re: number 2. I believe 16 GB is the total iNAND flash memory. 1 GB is partitioned for internal storage. Some is used for /system, /recovery, /cache, etc. The rest is available. Out of the box you will have over 14 GB available. But 16 GB is the physical size of the flash memory, there is no "hack" that will increase that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texas83:
Thanks. Anyone else on the other questions? I'm excited abt this phone coming out next weekend!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twitch351:
6.) You could use titanium backup to backup all the apps of your choice then slap the titanium folder onto a computer, then slap it onto your Nexus S when you get it and restore all those apps from the titanium backup app. ;)

-10 post limit for off-topic!-
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texas83:
The way that the HTC Fireat mod is that it takes all the extra room partioned for extra storage that is unused and free it back up. So of the 16 on there, there's 14gb available. The Fireat method of modding it would try to release some more of that inaccessible 2gb. I'll keep reading up on it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkVis:
I think you can use wifi ap to tether and be able to use 4g but I don't think there's a rom that supports 4g yet incase you flash a rom. Meaning you're only gonna be stuck with 3g while tethering.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] texas83:
Wait you lost me. None of the current ROMs support 4G? So if I flash CM7 I won't be able to use the 4G service? Or you're saying that I can you 4G to browse but only 3G to wifi/usb tether?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
Haha no none of the ROMs support 4g because the 4g Nexus isn't even out yet! Patience my friend.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polarbearmc:
does anyone know of any models of car stereo that you can hook a g2 into and control the g2's music player (or that has a corresponding separate music playing app that is controllable at least). i'd like to be able to hook up my phone by usb and then use the deck controls (or even better the controls on my wheel) to skip forward / back / pause, etc.

i've been searching and everything says "ipod/iphone" compatible and nothing mentions android. at best they say that the music will play thru via usb, but not whether or not you'll actually be able to control the music too.

thanks for the info

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangburra:
The Desire Z works with all (the) cars (I have tried) that have Bluetooth. You have to switch to BT Audio not just BT Phone, but then the controls work just fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhkr234:
Pretty much ANY USB automotive HU will work fine. It does NOT play music through the USB as fruitjunk does though... you plug the phone in, enable MASS STORAGE MODE, and use the HU to browse/select/play the mp3 file. The audio decoding happens in the HU, not the phone. No need to do things the iDiot way.

Alternatively, you need a BT HU that supports AVRCP, then you can use the HU to control the phone's media application.

I actually managed to get my broken device working again. Btw, I think my system.img is floating around the Intwerwebs -- if you come across a "asus.t101.system.img.gz" that's 312MB expanded, I would recommend you avoid it as that's my half-baked Chinese firmware that seems to have caused all my screen issues. :eek:

What program do you read comics with on Android? I'd love to find one :), haven't looked yet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] roebeet:
I do feel like I'm collecting, but not for long. The Xoom is being returned this week, once I wipe it and clean it up. :)

I did a comparison between the Xoom and GTAB / Adam last month, and I felt that HC was a but sluggish in the graphics department. This TF101 might have similar issues. But, it's still a speed demon versus my R10, so the latter will eventually get retired and possibly sold.

I was using SCViewer (which is what is shown in the pics). The reason is that it was the best balance of speed / stability I could find on my R10. But for the Transformer, I might have a few options like ACV, JJComics Viewer or even Perfect Viewer.

I also have a purchased copy of "ComicReader Mobi", but I haven't used that too much as it really wasn't designed for tablets. However, it's probably the most stable comics reader I've used so far. The developer just needs to correct a few things, and I think it would be my app of choice (I've actually posted on his forum about this, as I feel that the definitive cbr/cbz reader has yet to be released).

I was wondering how the Transformer held up in outdoor sunlight. Any reports? I don't see myself using it a ton outside but it would be nice if it is usable outside. More importantly would be how does it hold up in normal daylight inside a vehicle. I can see myself frequently using it on long rides so hopefully the screen and sunlight can get along!

Any thoughts from people who were able to pick one up on launch day?

According to the same preview that pic came from, it's usable outdoors in indirect sunlight. Mind you, that's British sunlight -- not quite the same thing as, say, Florida sunlight. ;-)

[EVO 4G General] RicardEVO:
First, apologies if this is an inappropriate post locale... Sprint prefers we not EASILY track our "Anytime Minutes" usage since they earn big income from charging 45 cents per minute overage. We are looking for a tracking widget that will access the Sprint Zone data and display real time remaining minutes.

Even better would be to display the connect device code Sprint uses to tell if you connect to a cell or land line and what category your call falls under, i.e. nights & weekends, cell 2 cell, etc.

If such an app exists - we want to know about it!! Thanks guys!
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
What are you talking about? Go to Sprint.com or dial *4 to check your minutes, it's been that easy for years. You are just looking for an excuse to blame your carrier for your inability to keep track of your usage.

Sent from my spaceship!
[EVO 4G General] RicardEVO:
Thanks for the lecture kid... I've made lots of money in software. The whole "apps" industry is based on providing convenience not provided by carriers and hardware builders. Like automatically turning off lock when at your home wifi location.

T-Mobile, AT&T, iPhones, all have minute tracking widgets. Carriers rely on overage for revenue - if they didn't they would build minute trackers into their phones. Overage charges are the way LAZY carriers take unearned money. How 'bout they learn to SERVE for their income??
[EVO 4G General] gpz1100:
Dial *4, let the automated voice speak for a few seconds, then repeatedly hit 2, about 10 times, then hang up. Shortly you'll receive a text message with your usage details.
[EVO 4G General] Genjinaro:
LOL, unless you are mainly calling landlines at all hours of the day, Sprint users' last worry are overages.

Under Sprint's AA, We don't have the minute, text or data woes of any carrier in the U.S.

Hopefully you'll sleep better at night knowing this.

But yeah, *4 is your best bet.

And welcome to XDA. :)
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You do realize Sprint has any mobile anytime which allows calling to any cellphone in the US? Sprint users don't worry about overages, specially smart phone users. There's a reason everyone has those widgets but us, but if you're trying to create an app you should probably explain that in your OP.

Sent from my spaceship!
[EVO 4G General] Infinite520:
You guys are being pretty harsh. For most of us going over our minutes is no problem, but apparently some people still need to worry about it. Don't get all over him just because he is concerned about his allowed minutes and would like an app to easily relay the information.

Yes, you can dial *4 to get the information, you are all correct. But I think we can all agree having an app or widget to display that info would be a lot easier. I personally have no problem with minutes because of anytime mobile, but thats still no reason to give the op a hard time.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I think it's more directed at the fact that hes pointing fingers and blaming when it's so easy to keep track already. Yes a widget would make everything a lot easier but no need to act as if theres no way to get the information. My apologies to the OP if I came off harsh.

Sent from my spaceship!
[EVO 4G General] RicardEVO:
Every once in a while I make business calls to people... in business. They actually use PBX land line POTS, or VOIP phone systems. Imagine that. And um, those count as "Anytime" minutes. See? So, why should I have to dial *4 2.2.2.2.2.2.2.2 after every call to see what may or may not be considered a "land line" by Sprint?

Why do you suppose Voice Commands are popular?? People don't want to push buttons to make their "smart phone" smart. Believe me, there are 35M Sprint subscribers and if 1% of them buy a minutes counter widget for peace of mind.... do the math.
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
Oh so they dont make money on me then.......i but you take the same stance on over draft fee from banks too. God forbid you be responsible
[EVO 4G General] RicardEVO:
Brian, no soapbox... just facts. You don't need a business phone account to make calls to businesses - some people actually WORK for a living. Convenience is what the add-on "apps" industry is all about.

Rather than trying to point fingers and accuse anyone who challenges you of being a "conspiracy theorist" - consider the OPPORTUNITY that arises out of failings like leaving out a counter. Especially when the market tells us it is useful - since Verizon, AT&T and T-Mob all provide this convenience.

Learning to SERVE is what delivers customers to carriers. And yes, the Sprint (and other carrier business plans count on unearned income from overage charges. Surprise!) L-A-Z-Y old-school sloth.
