TOMTOM 6

sorry i didn't reply earlier but i'm usually on ALPINE forum 'cos that's what i've got - just came on here looking at TomTom thread. - Yes the Traffic is a free 30day trial and we'll see what happens at the end of it - i don't think you'll be able to reinstall and get it again 'cos apparently it sends your device details to a database - I agree it is a good price for this program and believe it or not i probably will BUY it :shock: when the retail version is released 'cos at the moment there is a few bugs with the cracked version - but i wanted to try it before i parted with my hard earned! - the same reason i tried a cracked version of TT5 - the reason being is that i paid £1500 to mercedes to have satnav fitted when i bought a car from them and it was crap!! plus it was obviously not portable. so trying TomTom on my XDA before I bought it was the best way - i wasn't too impressed with TT5 but TT6 so far ticks all the boxes for me - other people may have other criticisms of it.

cheers pistebeast :wink:

For importing favourites, I found this on another forum earlier today. I havent tried it myself but a mate used this way and it worked for him.

1. Go to your old map folder xxxx-map and copy the file xxxx-map.cfg to your new map folder.

2. In the new map folder, rename the file MapSettings.cfg to MapSettings.old or something like that.

3. Now rename the file you just copied xxx-map.cfg to MapSettings.cfg.

4. Start TomTom :D

Cheers,

Has anyone managed to get the TT6 Speed Camera Voice Alerts (from pocketgpsworld) to work yet?

When I tried installing them (on my friend's wizard :roll: ) I still got the normal beeps and bells instead of the voice alerts.

I replaced the file \Storage Card\tomtom\data.chk which is apparently all you need to do.

BTW, I was using the correct file (for v.6.0 PPC).
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gwappa:
No the file is in tomtom directory located in main memory
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MrJoshua:
\Program Files\Navigator\Data.chk

:D Thanks!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dannyoneill:
I dont think the voice warnings are for the 'special' version we have. Rember, these guys have created this file from the final release version but we are using a very illegal pre-release (yup, its not hte finished product). The data.chk needs to come from the same version exe that your running.

re the traffic. Uninstalling and reinstalling will have no effect, neither will a hard reset.

The traffic is tied to your device ID which remains contant between hard resets. The traffic sub will last you 30 days. If you want to see how long you have left or extend it just goto tomtom.com and create a plus account for free. Register your device ID next to your account and you can see how long you have left.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MrJoshua:
The voice alerts work fine for me :D

Hi, I've just reinstalled on a exchanged Vario II due to screen issue, I'm having problem with my BT GPS conecting with Tomtom6. It is paired with the device but is not seen when Tomtom starts, when I try to set com port 6 in BT settings it tells me the com port cannot be created.

Any help please.

Andy
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dcoelho:
Is your GPS the original from TT or other GPS brand? The GPS TT if chosed in the TT initialisation takes for him the com port 6. If you have another BT GPS you must choose factory settings in TT menu quit TT and soft reset the PDA. Paire your GPS BT on Port com 6. After run TT and choose other GPS BT and the com port 6 will bi available.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] shaddy86:
I also have problems with connecting my GPS reciever. I have a copilot BT GPS, I've tried the steps given above but still no luck.

I get the comms port 6 option in tomtom menu when I select it then nothing really happpens. It says NO GPS device!

My GPS reciever works perfectly well with its own software just doesnt seem to work with tt6
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] shaddy86:
OK I've managed to sort out the problem..

People facing similar problems follow these steps:

1. Delete any other devices set to port 6

2. Partnership GPS to your device through bluetooth settings

3. Select GPS device as outgoing port 6 from COM Ports tab

4. Run Tomtom and from the menu select port 6 and it should work!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] andynumpty:
Hi, I've tried to do that but when I try to select Com port 6, it says 'the com port could not be created. Please check your settings and try again'.

does it have a mic?

does it have a built in microphone, so that you can use it as a hands free phone in the car?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dipulmiah:
Hi,

The copilot GPS reciever does not work with the TomTom as I have found out. Best thing to do is buy another brand sirf 3 reciever & you should be up & running.

Best of luck.

Does anyone know how to enable the Camera Database so that it shows me & alerts me when there is a speed camera coming up. I have the ov2 & bmp files on my sd card in the maps folder but I cannot work out how to enable them.

Any help will be appriciated.

BTW this is brilliant software & I am loving using it, I say if you haven't got it, GET IT..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TangerineTractor:
POI warnings

Make sure the ov2, inf and bmp files are in the map folder (usually GB_plus major...)

Then in tomtom, preferences, first enable/disable pois, and select all he speed cams. then manage pois, and select warn when near poi. Select each cam type individually, and allocate a sound (I use Polite 2 - you can hear it over the radio!)

Also worth checking out is http://www.skux.net/tomtom/menubuilder2/index.php -

Lets you build a custom menu to get rid of all the icons you don't need...

you create a tomtom.mnu file form it, and put it in a folder called sdkregistry in mydevice/tomtom.

My version has cut out everything I don't use regularly.... you can just rename the file or folder to something else to get the original menus back temporarily if you need them.

I've attached my tomtom menu if anyone wants it - all you need on one screen!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dipulmiah:
Hi,

I have found out how to rectify this problem!!! :D :D :lol: :lol:

Basically add the file I have uploaded onto where your current speed cam data is, this should be in your Storage Card in the folder with your maps & you will have it all up & working.

I hope this helps other people as I have been going nuts trying to figure it out.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] rags_999:
hi there,

cant see the uploaded file. please help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dipulmiah:
You should downlowd the file by pressing download & save it to your PC, then extract the file & copy it over to your SD card.

you guys still know that Navigator 6 is not in market yet? anyways it is quite funny that you make profile with your name/address in our page (tomtom.com) and then you request support for product wich is not on sale yet :D
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Tuut_Tuut:
Well, in this way you know now where the bugs are....
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] MrJoshua:
My friend tells me the currently available version of TT6 crashes regularly, so much so that even though it has lots of nifty features, he'll be going back to TT5 asap.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Puckster:
I have the CoPilot Sirf3 BT reciever which worked flawlessly with tt5 and now works perfectly with tt6 as well. In fact if anything, i would say it connects faster with tt6 than it did tt5.

I definitely havent done anything special to get it working just make sure you DO NOT set the "Secure Connection" checkbox when creating the outgoing com port. (I have used both Com6 & Com7 successfully too)

What is the passkey that you use??

I have tried with numerous devices to try & connect but to no avail.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dukeV:
I find it very stable, although other apps on my phone have crashed a couple of times since it's install - but equally could just be me messing around with the phone too much.

Incidentally, I would like to be able to lock the screen while tt6 is on, so that it doesn't respond to being touched - any advice?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Puckster:
0183 is the passkey :wink:

Anyone know of any satnav softwre compatble with windows 2000/xp ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] dipulmiah:

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Bouncypete:
Has anyone else noticed that the latitude/longitude navigation doesn't appear to work correctly.

If you check the GPS signal the co-ords that show on the same page are correct but if you get a position fix from a map they are about 11 miles out.

IE. if you are stationary and you get the co-ords from the GPS signal page, then go to the "navigate to lat/long page and input the same co-ords it seems to want me to go for an 11 mile drive.

I'm baffled by this, anyone any ideas?

Sorry about the basic level of this question but up until now have not needed to do anything too deep.

hi just got a htc one locked to o2 uk is there any program or app will unlock it as i paid for an unlock code and they couldnt unlock it
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4tifjaved:
Well first get a refund for that unlock code.

Since the HTC has been out for a year now if you have been an o2 customer for longer than 6 months if you ring o2 or go to there stores they may unlock it for free.

That's what I did with three and I know Vodafone does that too. Might be worth a try with o2

To my knowledge there is no software or programme on xda that can SIM unlock the htc one
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ppm48:
ok thanks but only just got the phone how about rooting it would that unlock it ?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
rooting the phone will not sim-unlock it. You must be 100% stock to use the sim unlock code (or as far as possible to stock, i.e stock rom)

Try another sim unlock code or ask you carrier like suggested above.

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bradwatson:
Has anyone tried running both Sense and the GPE ROM for any length of time? Any deal breakers with the GPE ROM. I have read through most of the forum over there, but I'm not allowed to post in development forums so I wanted to see if anyone could provide any feedback on the GPE ROM. I used to have the Thunderbolt but grew sour of Sense after a while. Now I'm pretty much over any manufacturer UIs like Blur, TouchWiz, Sense, etc. I'm looking for the pure android experience I get with my Nexus 7, but Nexus isn't available on Verizon so a GPE version of the HTC One M8 seems like about the best thing to try. Any thoughts on how this ROM works?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Powell730:
GPE is essentially pure AOSP. just comes with google apps etc. I personally love it, I just came over from the galaxy s4 a few days ago where I was running the GPE rom there and it was my favorite rom ive ever ran on any phone. I haven't used sense in so long im enjoying it right now, still running stock rooted s-off with xposed, but when I do start roming ill prolly just go straight to GPE.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] richii0207:
I'll stick with sense IMO, many more features, very fast , and unparalleled functionality.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Tepifan:
I've used the GPE rom for a few days and the sense based roms as well. In my experience it seems the GPE needs a custom kernel because there are a few things not working properly, the camera for example, and the overall experience is sluggish compared to the sense based roms. Stick with anything sense based right now, run a different launcher, and use xposed, that combo is killer and you get all the speed you can handle. Give the GPE a few more weeks and it'll probably be in full working order, at which time I'll definitely be going to it. So nice having a clean rom that was explicitly made for this phone from the manufacturer.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] jshap70:
GPE isnt as good as some ASOP roms IMO. I typically run SlimKat, but there are many more out there.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] konstantinos3:
Hello to everyone.

After testing one custom ROM (Carbon) and while everything was fine, suddenly one afternoon the in-call volume lowered very much, so that I can't hear in a noisy environment. I don't know if the problem was caused by the ROM, I just tell the history. Then, I tried 2-3 other custom ROMs hoping that the problem will be solved, but nothing happened. Finally I got back to the stock ROM 4.1.2, (full wipe, data, cache etc. everything) having the same hope. But unfortunately, again nothing happened. I have also tried various volume control apps, but can't restore the max in-call sound. :(

In stock ROM, I checked the earphone in the service tests and the sound seems perfect, so i assume that it is not a hardware problem, but I cant be sure. Is there any possibility that this is a software problem? Does anybody have in mind any solution or idea to try? I checked 2 threads for a similar problem, but couldn't find any.

A while back someone tried to root my phone but don't think it was successful

I am trying to do the 4.4.2 on my Droid Razr M and it keeps failing did it atleast 4 times now. Is there a way I can fix this to get the update or update it to kitkat another way? Thanks:confused:.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
What update are you on? There might be a mini update you have to do first before you can take the KK one. That or you'll want to run the RSDLite program to rewrite the software back to it to make sure any possible modifications that were done to the /system from rooting or the attempt are undone. They haven't released 4.4.2 for RSD yet, so will have to do the last official one and then factory reset (if it doesn't do it for you) then try the OTA update again.

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8

There are 4 different 4.1.2 versions. If you are on an earlier one, this could cause this problem as well.

I am on 98.18.94.xt907.Verizon.en.US 4.1.2 Okay hmmm I will try that after work and see if I can fix it?!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LifeAsADroid:
The 2012 Droids (HD, Maxx HD, and M) have been very problematic in getting their respective KK updates to work. You basically have to be BONE STOCK in order for it to work. Best bets are to find the appropriate RSD Lite method as mentioned above and follow it EXACTLY, or to do a factory reset of your phone and let the update get pushed to you again.

Chances are the root did in fact work and some modification was done that is causing the update to not go through. Either that or the phone is still rooted and the OTA is refusing to install because of the root access.

Hello -- Is it possible to get the APK or (somehow) get the HTC Sense 6 camera restored to my newly upgraded HTC One (M7-TMO-US)? I accidentally (tried to) restore the old Sense 5.5 camera data with Titanium Backup and it killed both stock cameras. I really do not want to re-initiate the full install again as it was problematic going back to stock for me. Any ideas? My friend has a HTC One Max (on the new KK upgrade) and I was going to try to extract the camera with his phone but not sure that would work. I also looked at the OTA/ZIP files for the latest update and can see some APK, etc files in the zip but not the camera.

Anyone with any ideas? THANKS in advance!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Drifter:
Did someone notice this when you Sync your device with an exchange server ?

If you leave the WLAN on and your device is in standby, your device will wake up to synchronise your device according the schedule of active sync via an AP.

When it does this your screen remains black and gives a notification when new mail arrives.

Battery consumption is low because WLAN will only be waken for the synchronisation and goes to sleep again after it.

I’ve tested this for the last week in the office were we have an AP an at home and it works perfectly.

The only disadvantage is when you’re out of the office it will give you a notification of every AP it picks up in your neighbourhood.

So you have to shut it down when you’re leaving home or the office.

This function was missing on my Wizard so I was still using my HP h6340 for this. But now I can leave this one at home.

Hopefully this function will stay after a few ROM upgrades.
