There are many errors in tomtom, the company rely on users to report mistakes to them so these can be rectified in future releases. I think there will always be errors in a program such as this because it is a mammoth task to compile all data correctly, assuming several stages of development, there are many errors that can arise in the entry of data. I think that despite the errors it is an incredible program when you take into account the very small amount of memory and the constraints of the cpu speeds and pocket pc operating system. It has saved me many hours of frustration and stress even in central London where the opportunities to take the wrong road are numerous. If anything better exists I would like to hear about it.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] edsub:
I think we need to distinguish between errors in the program (to be adressed by TomTom) and errors in the mapping (to be adressed by Teleatlas).

I found two anoying issues with TomTom:

- Bluetooth usage (with rom 1.72), see other threads. I logged a questions on that.

- auto re-calc directs you to earlier route too long
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] gtivinny:
i guess i am using tomtom 3, yes the errors are i suppose, minor! and i was just wondering, as i am new to the whole tomtom/gps if there was a new verison or updated maps! (but in general its has been a great help to my driving life!)

i also read some where that there is a add on that picks up accidents etc, would you guys know where i can find this!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] gtivinny:
yes the software seems ok!

my issue is with the map's! i can be in a town, and it tells me that i am in a completly different county, but in the correct town that i am in etc

There is a town i visit quite often and its listed as the town near by and not the one i want. "you get what i mean, yes?"
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] cruisin-thru:
Can you say which town/city you are referring to please. When I travel on the Cirencester road from junction 11a M5, I am told to turn left into the embankment surrounding the A road, on return it tells me to go right across the carriageway and into the same embankment/field, you have no choice but to ignore, it then tells me to turn around when possible but after ignoring this it gets back to normality.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] the_pilgrim:
this is called tomtom traffic. its a subcription service £32 P/A that downloads traffic information via gprs and displays incidents on your route.

you need to log in at the TT website and download the add-on there. i think you get 1 month free then you have to subscribe.

I must say the feature is by no means perfect. It does miss problems and report delays when there arn't any. i use it in conjunction with Radio traffic broadcasts and then make a judgement.

(the_pilgrim) thanks mate!!

(cruisin-thru) the town i am on about is baldock in hertfordshire,

it has baldock train station, but does know baldock town, its saying that it is letchworth, which is right next to baldock!
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] the_pilgrim:
The way tomtom uses towns and placenames etc. is all to ****. The easiest way to navigate somewhere is via the postcode; but Tomtoms post code search is only 5 digits eg. DE72 3 this is also crap.

If you use this little gem its soooooo easy www.digitools.co.uk

this postcode program takes the whole postcode. This is usually about 20 houses (Possibly larger area in rural areas)

i would recommend installing Checkpoint before installing the postcode progam as this eases the instalation.

Checkpoint is a POI detector and can be downloaded here

http://checkpoint.oabsoftware.nl/

it will alert you when you are a approaching a selectable POI.

If you use the speed camera database from here

www.pocketgps.co.uk/uksafetycameras.php

you can receive camera warnings as you aproach them

The best part about these programs is they are all FREE :D

Maps

There are basically only two suppliers of GPS maps in the UK and Europe. And they update the maps every few months or so.

The GPS software retailers, like Tom Tom license at a certain point, and freeze, allowing them to make chargeable upgrades.

As Tom Tom charged about £30 for the last update - from 2 to 3 (including the full maps of Europe I had also purchased, at no extra cost) I didn't feel to badly off.

There is an area on the Tom Tom web site to notify map defects. But don't expect them to be fixed quickly.

Tom Tom does have some issues with the way it stores place names, where there are more than one name the same, it can mix them up. It must stores towns and places in separate tables and look up values as required. I live near Shirley in the West Midlands and Tom Tom displays it at Shirley, Southampton. But it knows where to send me home!

I personnaly uses TomTom 3 + Check POInt 3.2 for all spedd cameras and other POI. it works great although I have found the setup of Check POI to be non intuitive (but will work if you follow their web site instructions).

Now if you want 99.5% accuacy with maps, you'll have to cross the channel and move to France. :lol: :lol: :lol:

The maps are amaizingly precise, which suggest it has something to do with the company from which TomTom buy the maps from.

It won't seem to work if the app you are playing music with has its own stand alone EQ. For instance, Power amp. It should work with Apollo, and Google music player.

so basically i dont live in usa i live saudi arabia

there is this guyz who got some devices from the united states sealed and new

i will get cheaper than the i9505

so i know i will be probably missing lte due to different frequencies unless they secretly has the other bands

other than that

what is the difference between i9505 and the tmobile version what will i be missing

and some other questions:

1-is the boot loader locked ? if yes is it unlockable what are the limitations of it

2- is it possible to get rid of tmobile boot animation

3- is it possible to get rid of t mobile logo on the back using alcohol or stuff like this

4-it might sound stupid but what will happen if i flash other versions roms with the same hardware the at&t version or the i9505 or maybe the sprint one ?

any other info would be appreciated

search doesnot give specific answers my friend and i dont think there was any thread of some one buying the newly released phone from around teh globe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikrame:
Dont be too lazy to look into 2-3 threads. You cant find all in one thread.

Ok here is answer u need.

International version is OCTA core and our US verion is quad core. ( in simple words 8 and 4 )

1) tmobile version is bootloader unlocked . Att is not. There is no limitation after u unlock once. You can do whatever u want.

2) yes

3) never tried that but u can buy flip cover that comes with back cover.

4) you will be screwed. Dont do that. Thats why we have separate forums.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mightyillidan:
interesting back in the s3 i heard some guy say that he flashed his tmobile with a att rom

any way thank u

any extra advice is appreciated though xd
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikrame:
Yup you can do that if you know how to change files between att and tmobile roms. Before flashing though.

Some devs port each others roms too.

But I dony recommend that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ferganer:
Does anyone know if T-Mobile WiFi calling can be enabled on the vanilla Android S4 when it comes out. I was wondering if it is technically possible.

This is the only thing that's holding me from getting the stock Android S4 (when it comes out) instead of the T-Mobile S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MMakoto:
From what I've read, the nexus 4 from Google doesn't support it, so I assume the dev version s4 would be the same since it is a T-Mobile feature. I also believe a lot, if not all, roms does not support this feature. I could be wrong, so someone with more experience pls chime in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GG2012:
If you really value WiFi calling (and I assume you are with T-Mobile now), I don't even know why you don't just go ahead

and buy the T-Mobile S4. There is almost zero advantage the AOSP S4 will have over T-Mo S4.

Maybe you didn't want to root your phone, but then I figure, WiFi probably will not be included on the AOSP version,

and even if there was a way, you would need to root the phone regardless to flash the ROM/MOD.

In the end, I really see the T-Mo S4 as your best bet, as I can guarantee 99% you can flash AOSP ROM with all its features

more easily to a T-Mo S4 than to flash the WiFi calling feature unto an AOSP S4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] timg11:
I currently have the Nexus S on T-Mobile. My two key features are Wi-Fi Calling and Wi-Fi Hotspot / Tethering. Hotspot/Tethering works great on the Nexus S, and there is no extra charge for it.

Wi-Fi Calling has never been provided for the Nexus S, and nobody has been able to figure out how to add it, so I'm thinking about upgrading to the GS4.

I see two approaches to meet my needs:

1) Buy the T-Mobile version, but have to root it and maybe load new ROMs to eliminate the unwanted carrier apps etc. I'm assuming T-Mobile would not directly offer free tethering like the Nexus S on their phone. I'm aware various apps promise to enable this, but I'm not sure about how well they work. Also, would loading alternate ROMs then cause the Wi-Fi calling capability to be lost?

2) Buy the Google developer version of the GS4. It presumably provides tethering like the Nexus S, but wouldn't have the Wi-Fi calling. Will that be impossible to add later as it was with the Nexus S, or is the GS4 Google version close enough to the T-Mobile version that somebody could port the app?

Advice or suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nbeebe24:
Devs have been trying to get WiFi calling going for quite some time. It's closed source and tied into T-Mobile somehow. I know its very complicated. It sucks because I'm used to aosp ROMs but I can't give up WiFi calling because my service is so terrible at home/work.

I know developers are still working on it. If they can get the sensors, ir blaster, and WiFi calling on AOSP I'll never look back. Given the fact that the Nexus GS4 will be Vanilla Android I'm almost positive carrier apps won't be installed. If they don't have the sensors working it'll be a downgrade from tw in my opinion.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
The problem with porting WiFi calling to non stock ROMS is that the APK requires all sorts of libs to be installed with it.

It's been done before though. CM7 and CM9 releases for various devices had WiFi calling once the lib situation was figured out. And it worked great.

For other devices it was a matter of pulling the APK and the associated libs from a stock rom, keeping everything to still be recognized as though it was installed on the stock ROM, and putting it into a CM rom.

It was accomplished before. I'd be shocked if it doesn't get accomplished again.

When i got my One initially i thought the speakers sounded distorted but didn't pay much attention. Almost a month now, my top speaker def sounds blown. Called HTC to let them know the phone was defective and they wanted me to do a restore, so i hung up. How the hell does doing a restore can fix a blown speaker? I think im gonna have to go back to stock and follow with their crap so i can get this one replaced.
[One (M7) General] nullkill:
Just tell them you did. Tell them you have done a full factory reset. HTC's new backup program works well and restores app data just a FYI.
[One (M7) General] BenPope:
Yes, you will have to follow their crap. Hanging up on the person who you need to help you is, I guess, not what you need to do.
[One (M7) General] bob13bob:
Just tell them you have, even if you haven't. they play their games, we play ours
[One (M7) General] angusc:
Well if you have installed any sound enhancements during ROM flashing that might be a reason. I don't think it is that unreasonable request that you try to go back to stock to test the speaker again.....? For sure if you take it in to an HTC dealer they are going to say the same thing before repairing it.
[One (M7) General] fanaticny:
As of right now, i will return the phone but also go back to stock and test. I dont recall installing audio enhancements, im running ARHD 9.0. As i said before from day one i noticed a little distortion and progressively it got worst. If i indeed had install a sound mod, wouldnt the bottom speaker be affected too?, i mean thats my logic, i might be wrong.
[One (M7) General] shook187:
Hanging up on someone is something a girl would do with shes fighting with her boyfriend.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
I don't see why this is HTCs fault? It's standard procedure. All you need to say is that you have wiped it and they will help generate a repair case.
[One (M7) General] patato2:
Neither do I , if I feel it's faulty then the very first thing to do is factory reset. That at least would clarify no software setting involved.
[One (M7) General] fanaticny:
I didn't say it was their fault, i hung up bc i didn't want to proceed with doing a restore at least not at that moment. The other thing is I shouldve called letstalk and not HTC, that was my fault.
[One (M7) General] shabazz18:
I just used it to swap from one One to another and it did NOT save data or even all my apps.
[One (M7) General] ste1164:
:o it did mostly for me. I think not for 1 game.
[One (M7) General] nullkill:
Sorry about that. On the new phone go into settings and backup and reset and make sure it's making backups. If it didn't restore anything then it doesn't sound like it was set up or that it was set up but didn't make a backup.
[One (M7) General] Fidelcastrol:
I'm starting to suspect a blown speaker too. Problem is that both work, but the bottom speaker is clearly louder than the top one.

So either it's by design or not, it's annoying. Not gonna get it changed for now as I don't really use the speakers everyday (hopefully). And it works just fine when calling someone. So I even started it was by design, so I wouldn't become deaf even on lower volume :)
[One (M7) General] dexmix:
Bottom speaker is louder than top speaker FYI. Pretty sure this is normal. It would be nice if we had access to the balance.
[One (M7) General] mr2kqql:
+1, I am pretty sure thats normal too
[One (M7) General] henrybravo:
Yes you guys are correct. I verified with a sound meter in close proximity to each one. The bottom speaker is approximately 2 dB louder. Not a huge difference but 2 dB difference is within the range of human hearing and when you hold the phone up to your face you can tell one speaker is a bit louder. Running 1.29.401.16R with stock kernel and no sound enhancement mods.
[One (M7) General] JustLiveIt:
I had a blown top speaker as well. Bottom speaker sounded great but top speaker sounded horrible at any volume much above 25%. I got my original phone replaced under warranty and the bottom speaker is louder than the top one on both of them.
[One (M7) General] whitetiger_0603:
I dunno, all i did was root mine and there are times I think the speaker is crackly. There was actually one time I had to change a song because it sounded distorted. I'm honestly just waiting for some major flop before I send mine back. I gotta ask on this note, would it be best to go through AT&T or HTC?
[One (M7) General] Fidelcastrol:
Ah thanks guys ! So it's by design ! I can now say my One is perfect :laugh::good:
[One (M7) General] fanaticny:
I think HTC will ask you to contact your carrier for an exchange or repair since stores will have these phones in stock, instead of you shipping your phone back to HTC for repairs. Make sure you're under the 30-day exchange/return period!!!
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
This is odd... My device's speaker seems to be even on both left and right... Or perhaps this is because I was only listening to a mono video?
[One (M7) General] tomoffel:
I also noted the top speaker is cracking all the time, video, music, call and notification..

After a short call to my provider (o2, where I bought the phone) the send me all the documents to send it in for a repair (to arvato)

The package left the post office on 14. May .. Yesterday (22. May) I got a mail from arvato that my phone need more time to repair.. may till 4. June.. but without any reason..

After I tried to reach the company by mail .. there is no email address.. I called the hotline and the told me that they don't have the needed parts in stock to repair my phone..

So keep in mind.. IF you send your phone to repair.. I takes some time to come back to you..

now I have to stick with my s2 ..
[One (M7) General] Fidelcastrol:
Problem seems to sort of correct itself if I use Beats :)
[One (M7) General] fanaticny:
I sent mine back to letstalk and they already got it, later they sent me an email saying the phone was out of stock until May 31st and that it would ship within 2 days after they get the new batch. Either HTC is doing really well with their sales or they still have manufacturing problems.

Got a spankin' new HTC One yesterday in the mail :victory: I did have to go back to stock. Assuming you have the Developer Edition, just call Letstalk and ask for a new one, tell them the speaker is blown and that you need an exchange. They made the exchange painless, but make sure you go back to stock b4 you return it. GL!
[One (M7) General] Glaede:
I got my phone back today! :) I think its a brand new phone flashed with my old serial number, because the phone is even better build than before. No gaps, no nothing. I also noticed that my buttons light up more now than before. Also when I got the phone the screen had a sticker on saying another serial number than what my phone tells me. So I think its a new phone, but with my old serial number :)
[One (M7) General] 2rz_taco_sr5:
Fyi I lowered the hboot on my previous one-s and later because I never really made calls I noticed the speaker was "blown" had to turn volume almost to minimum to keep it from crackling. I called and got a replacement sent out and checked it and it was perfect so before I sent the old one in I downgraded the hboot on the new one and ran an ruu on the old one to send back. Guess what? Ruu fixed the old one and hboot broke the new one... I tested this out and no matter what rom I ran lowering hboot instantly ruined the speaker even on the stock rom and wouldnt fix until I ran the Ruu. I eventually left the hboot alone and luckily right after we got s-off so it didn't matter but point is software hacks can cause problems that seem as if they are hardware related. Hope everything worked out for you I didn't read the whole thread but wanted to share that for others.
