Heres an interesting test.

I just installed TomTom Nav6 on my TyTN II but the map seems a little outdated and I have no way of updating the map. If anyone knows how to for "free" id like some advice.

BUT...

I also have a new TomTom One that has the newest maps of North America.

So heres the question....

Has anyone tried to copy their North America map from an original TomTom One device and transfer it to their TomTom Navigator version on their PDA?

Is this even posible? Do the two devices use the same file format?

If so, this would be amazing, I could update all my maps with my TomTom One, and just transfer the files over to the TyTN II.

Wadaya think guys?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] kyphur:
Careful, asking for "Free" maps is requesting WAREZ and can lead to a ban so consider this a warning.

As for your second question, it really depends on which version of TomTom you are running on your phone. Backup your current maps and give it a try.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mech_supernova:
im not sure he's asking for free maps he's just wondering if he can use the maps off is stand alone tomtom GPS unit for the Navigatror on his PPC and it dosent work I tried it a long time ago. Best option is to buy new maps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Charbs:
:(

Damn that sucks, oh well. I guess it woulda been worth a shot.

What exactly happens when you try to run it with the different file. Maybe someone can alter the file so Navigator will recognize it.

OR. Navigator might need more files than just the one Map file. Im not sure if anyone has any programing experience with TomTom, but theres always a way around everything :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] kyphur:
And agin I will remind you that asking to work around TomTOm's map security is asking about WAREZ.

2nd Warez warning in one thread.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Charbs:
Huh?

im not asking for WAREZ...i OWN a TomTom one, I OWN at TyTN II. I OWN the software on the TomTom. I OWN the software on the TyTN II.

All i wanted to do was transfer one map to the other device if it was posible. What does this have to do with "downloading" cracks, hacks, torrents, keygens etc.

Last I heard trasfering files from two deviced that you own, along with the software on them, was legal. If im wrong for wanting to do that, I apoligize and wont mention "Warez" again. Sorry.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] badaas:
I think your best bet is contacting tomtom, and telling them about your owned software and whether they can cut you a deal ;)

Tell them how you're a valued customer, how you might migrate to copilot or garmin, etc. :P
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Malik05:
The reason why it is considered WAREZ, is because of the fact that if you do own the maps, you own ONE copy of it, if you wanted another, you would have to purchase it for another device.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] tubaking182:
been done

i'm not saying the transfering of maps has been done, i'm saying that this has been talked about atleast twice that I have seen. what we decided elseware was that it would be infringement on some copywrites and that it would not be done or talked about on here. I would say that since kyphur has given you two warnings you take our word for it. been tried, failed and even if it is done we will not let you know how to do it because that would be making us an accessory. google probably won't help you either sorry man.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] benzwirs:
You can run any tomtom map on your pda, but you will need a key to register the map.

And that software is illegal, but it is out there.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] ajs007:
Not strictly true ..

Tomtom on the PDA is circa 6.032, and will run maps up to circa 6.75.

Tomtom One, Go, 3/5/7/9xx etc. can have their firmware / OS updated via Tomtom Home to version 7, this is not available to PDA devices - Only stand alone Sat nav devices.

The latest maps will only run on version 7 OS, and since you cannot update Tomtom PDA version 6, the maps will not work.

This is regardless of warez etc.

FYI - some files have different filetypes !!

If you read (on dubious websites) offers to install the latest maps on Tomtom, they refer to version 7 on version 7 stand alones and not PDA's

If you want the latest maps, get a Tomtom One (or Go etc.)

This post does not condone software theft !

FIXED!!!: Solution: Download MiFlash and flash a stable Rom, then install twrp and flash your prefered rom.

LINKS in Comments

Hello,

So basically I'm stuck in FastBoot.

I wanted to install the Pixel Experience ROM and did a big mistake, I wiped Dalvik, Cache, System and Data, then installed the ROM but no system, I rebooted and since then I am stuck in Bootloader.

My phone didn't turn on at first and I thought I broke it, but then it turned on into FastBoot.

Now it is stuck there.

I tried everything I found on the internet, I even went to the XDA Discord Server for help but nothing worked.

I have the Xiaomi Mi 9, I had the GlobeROM installed.

I don't care about the data, I just want my phone to work again.

I tried:

adb:

- Does not find my device because it is in FastBoot

fastboot:

-fastboot flash recovery (then my twrp, yes I tried three different versions and they worked before on my Mi 9)

-fastboot boot (image) --> FAILED (remote: Failed to load/authenticate boot image: Load Error)

I tried rebooting into recovery, no success.

I tried installing twrp with cmd and powershell both without success.

I tried rebooting with power and vol up, no success.

The twrp installs successfully, but I can't boot into it.

my fasboot oem device-info:

(bootloader) Verity mode: true

(bootloader) Device unlocked: true

(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

OKAY [ 0.009s]

finished. total time: 0.010s

I tried to flash a stock (for Android Pie) that I downloaded, but my phone turns off during the process and boots again into FastBoot causing the cmd to close everytime.

Please help me, I feel like my phone is broken now.

Feel free to ask any question, I will answer quick as long as I'm not sleeping, because I will refresh this page every 10 seconds I guess.

I've been trying to log into Huawei's community forums for a while, but no matter what I try, it results in an error page. It's the most extraordinarily frustrating experience. I wonder if anyone else has any tips to getting logged in.

My main reason for wanting to log in, apart from having a general look for tips, etc, is to find out how to inform them of a bug in their OS. Does anyone have any recommendations for how best to do that?
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
In fact, I often log in the community forum as my mobile phone is a Huawei device. I would like to help you report the bug.

You may post your bug description here. You can write in English or in Chinese.

If it is in English, I will translate it by myself before submit to the forum .
[General Questions and Answers] davidmaxwaterman:
Well, that's very civilised of you. I'll write in English, since that's the only language I know :)

Actually, I have three bugs - well, I think they're bugs, except, perhaps, for the first one.

1. This one isn't really a bug, but I bet the people on the Huawei forums can help.

FYI, I use a sim card from CMLink - SIM #1 [1], which piggy back off EE in the UK, and CMCC in China, and provide useful roaming plans for use between the two countries. They only provide data plans limited by the month, and I have signed up for their 22GB plan. To track usage, I have a P10 and have been trying to set it up to automatically calibrate the data usage measure on a daily basis. I think it does this by sending an SMS containing simply 'Check' to CMCC's service number '10086', and extracts the data from the response (not 100% sure about that, but hey). There seems to be a 'calibrate' button in the settings to do this manually (under the usage graph), but when I try I get the message 'Incorrect network provider. Reselect and try again.' I'd really like to get this going.

2. Related to above, I've set the setting to show the usage under the notifications when you drag down from the top of the screen. I've configured my plan information - ie 22GB per month, and starts on the 17th of each month. However, while the 'Today' seems to increase appropriately, the 'Left' is stuck at the maximum. I imagine the 'Total' is supposed to stay at 22GB. I expect the 'Left' to go down as I use it throughout the month.

3. This one is unrelated to above. If I open a browser and go to my web mail site, there is an option on the menu to 'Add to Home screen'. As expected, when I select that option, it does add an icon to the homescreen. Since it is something I want on every page of the homescreen, I drag that icon onto the row on the bottom of the screen that is shown on every page. I do that for a couple of web pages - my email and my calendar. At this point, it all works swimmingly. However, if I reboot the phone, then those icons seem to be moved back onto the homescreen, and also are 'greyed out' and placed under the clocks (the clock widget) I have placed there. So, that's not 'expected'.

What do you think?

Max.

You could also, if you would be so kind, help me fix my problems logging into the Huawei community forums...
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
What's your question about logging into that forum? :confused:

But as I found, it seems a community forum in Chinese. Almost all posts there are in Chinese. So, will you get any effective response even if you can log in it?

Maybe it's better to contact a local Huawei customer service center in order to get some helps. Do you think so?

---------- Post added at 04:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 AM ----------

Your three question are really confused and difficult to understand for me as I never used a CMLink sim card. :rolleyes:

But I will try my best to get to know your situations and help you as more as I can.

First, let's clarify your 3rd question.

On my Huawei phone, there are at most 5 icons on the row on the bottom of the screen that is shown on every page. Every icon here for apps on my device works fine even if I reboot my device. So, is it a defect of the couple of web pages - email and calendar?

Try to drag an icon of another app or widget there. Check if it will work well, please.
[General Questions and Answers] davidmaxwaterman:
> I never used a CMLink sim card

I don't think there's anything special about the CMLink, except that it works in either country pretty much the same as the other. It is the same as any other SIM card with a monthly limited data plan. So, you could consider that it is the same as a Chinese SIM card, I suppose.

> So, is it a defect of the couple of web pages - email and calendar?

Well, I guess I don't know exactly what the problem is, of course. My impression is that they hadn't considered this use-case much at all - I notice the Huawei browser doesn't have this 'add to homescreen' functionality at all.

However, you prompted me to experiment a bit more, and it doesn't happen with all web pages. Previously, I had my email and calendar on there, and they both were moved back onto the homescreen underneath other icons/widgets and greyed out (and didn't actually work to launch the web pages). However, now, the calendar page does seem to stay on there, and works when I click it. I also have tried both Chrome and Brave, and they both seem to show the same problem. I can't really see how it could be a web page problem, since nothing is being launched. I suppose it could be a web *manifest* problem, since that is where the icons usually come from...though looking in chrome devtools, I see that it has no manifest, and so the icons must be taken from the <meta> in <head>. The calendar, which does seem to be staying on the quick launch bar, also doesn't have a manifest file - so not that then.

It's pretty easy to reproduce though:

1. open your browser (chrome, probably) on https://www.fastmail.fm/

2. click on the menu and select 'Add to homescreen'

3. 'Add' on the dialog

4. 'ADD on the next dialog

5. go to the homescreen and locate the shortcut

6. drag and drop it onto the quick launch bar.

7. restart

Well, that's frustrating - I was writing those down as I did them, and when I restarted, it looked fine :/ I wonder if it makes any difference which position the icons are in on...ah, yeah, it looks like it is more reproducible if the shortcut is the left-most. Arghh. This time I lost a *native* app I had on there too - WeChat of all things - you'd imagine they'd make sure that works fine. Actually, it wasn't the WeChat app I had on there, but a shortcut to one of the contacts - you can add a wechat contact from the menu on their item in the wechat contacts list - 'Add to Desktop' it is in English. Hrm I notice that, while the web page shortcuts get moved back onto the homescreen, the WeChat contact shortcut is just gone....and I can't even add it again from WeChat - it says it is, but nothing appears :/

Gosh, it's really a bit of a mess. Perhaps it's too broken and inconsistent to even bother filing any bug. I'm tempted to apply for a job there to try and help, but in any case, I can't see too many Westerners being happy with such issues :( I suppose Chinese people just don't do this sort of thing.

Well, the question is where I can get help with logging in - but, if it is all in Chinese, I would modify my question to be: where can I find forums that are in English, and corresponding community support? Since there is a huge market for English speakers, I imagine they have somewhere for us to learn how to use it, and ask questions and report problems, etc?
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
Yes, your requirement is very reasonable.

When I posted some questions about mobile phone usage here, there would be someone would replied to my thread and tried to get more detailed info to help me. They said they were the Huawei official staff.

I will post a thread about "where for you to ask questions and report problems in English" for you soon.

On the other hand, you can access the forum either via web application (mobile web as well as computer web) or via an official app. You can also try the app. If you need it and can not find the apk, I will show you the link.
[General Questions and Answers] davidmaxwaterman:
Thanks. I look forward to finding out if there is a forum for English language users somewhere. I do kind of feel like they could spend more attention to this requirement, unless, of course, I'm just not looking hard enough. I remember when I was using a ZTE phone - they were very popular due to having front-facing speakers, and so had a pretty good US based forum and it was very useful. [Side note - I wish Huawei would produce a phone with front-facing speakers].

I don't think an app will get me very far...I probably have it on my phone already - I see one called 'HiCare', for example, and there's the top line on the settings. It's all very unfamiliar and things so often don't seem to quite work as expected. I kind of wish the Huawei stores had 'help' sessions like they do (or did anyway) in Apple stores.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
1. About CMLink, okay, I just posted a thread for you to Huawei community about how to report issue about Huawei phone usage for those speak English. Wait for their response, please.

2. Now I have gotten to know the feature 'Add to Home Screen'. In my Firefox Focus browser, I found it. I will have a try soon.
[General Questions and Answers] davidmaxwaterman:
Awesome. That's very cool of you, thanks :D Maybe I'll try Firefox too...

Max.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
I tried Firefox Focus just now.

When I opened a simple web page, then selected 'Add to Home screen' from the menu, entered some words for the icon title, tap 'Add' at last.

But it was so strange that then I couldn't find this icon on the home screen at all. It must be a bug of Huawei EMUI system. The QC engineers should ignore this use case. :rolleyes:

Btw, it's time to home for me. I will try to help you tomorrow. Would you like to support my apps available on Google Play? Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] davidmaxwaterman:
Ah, I hit this too. I suspect it is simply that you need to grant the app permissions to add to homescreen in the phone's settings in the Apps->permissions...or somewhere like that.

It's a bit odd that they don't get this automatically...I never had this issue with Google Android phones.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
You are right. I granted the app permission 'add to homescreen' to Firefox Focus, and then tried the feature again.

The function works well. Even after rebooting, the icon is still there on the row on the bottom of the screen that is shown on every page. So, I misunderstood that feature. :o
[General Questions and Answers] davidmaxwaterman:
Cool. It seems like it might be working better for you than for me. I've not tried firefox yet, but chrome and brave both seem to lose any shortcuts on the quick launch bar, but not always. It is also quite curious what has happened to the shortcut from wechat...since that's a native android app :/

Perhaps you're on a more recent Android/EMUI version? What kind of phone are you using?

TBH, I'm seriously considering the P30 Pro 5G when I get back to the UK, and this is sort of a test run with a hand-me-down phone which I presume is very similar in UI/UX, so it is all 'influencing' my decision.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
In fact, my phone is an old model, Mate 8 with EMUI/Android 8.0. I also have a wechat installed on my device.

Btw, would you like to leave a 5-star for my app which is available on Google Play? :D Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] davidmaxwaterman:
LOL, well I would be happy to, except I don't have Google Play on my phone...or Google anything, I think....except Chrome, of course. I'm a web app developer, so I prefer to use web apps than native android apps.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sanskar Mandothia:
I brought Poco F1 during this Amazon sale (because I got it within 8.5k for exchange with Note 5 Pro AKA Whyred :D).

My Poco came with MIUI 9 OTB and its build was of August. I have updated it to latest update (September security patch) and now i am thinking to root it because I am feeling the display to be lil laggy to my liking.

BTW, mine is NVT panel.

So, COMING TO THE TOPIC :

Post your experience about over-clocking the phone. What was the maximum hertz (70hertz?) you were able to overclock your display (specify panel too)?

Did you felt any noticable difference with 5-10hertz extra boost?

Any more downside of it? Anything else?

Everyone is welcome! :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Paquinho:
67hz NVTts PE10. 69 or 71hz didn't work for me. UI really fluid already due to Android 10 rework of animations and the display OC that helps even more. Today I tried a brand new note10+ and it felt sluggish in comparison to poco, so yes, I do "note" the difference :P
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] pipyakas:
10hz amount to almost nothing. It took me at least to 80hz on my big monitor to notice any smoothness difference, and overclocking display on phones is a massive headache as well. Not worth the time and effort to bother
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] D1stRU3T0R:
10Hz is more than 10% overclock. My 71Hz Oc is 18.3% which is definetly different and you can feel it.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Guides, News, & Discussion] Revantyalla:
You can definitely notice the difference between 60hz and 70hz. My display is nvt panel and max is 69hz for my device but some devices can do 71hz too. No downsides are there for overclocking display and no damage will be done. MY KERNEL: Sesh Kernel (7th sep).

Here's an interesting tidbit I discovered today after wiping my device clean aka factory reset.

The first language screen now shows English as opposed to what it originally had shown when first powering up from new, English UK. It appears that the device has some CSC settings that are not visible without root that were changed after using a T-Mobile USA sim card . This is now probably the reason why some won't get updates without using a local sim to the cust code. I had reset it and restarted without sim .
