Hi all I have the T32 GPS WIFI and love it, I have had since mid May the built in compass GPS works great with tomtom7, Garmin XT, also have tested Navman, Destinator and others. There are issues with the T32 that can be avoided.

To remove the HTC cube just delete it from startup folder it is safe to do so, if i want to use it, I just go to programs/ start and tap it twice to get it working, and at least when restarting phone it is no longer active.

Tomtom7 overrides screen off and sleep so it always remains active, and yes with Garmin if screen turns off it also interrupts the GPS, when re-opening Garmin it has to find a GPS fix again, so it is best to disable screen off, and sleep mode when using Garmin XT. When tripping in the car I have the T32 plugged into the car charger.

Also another issue is phone freeze I had lots of that when using 2GB class (2) cards, after upgrading to 8GB class (4) card over the 2 months i have had maybe one, but i believe that was more of 3rd party program issue than the phone.

If the T32 freezes and non-responsive, after soft reset the screen is still non-responsive,

open back ready to remove battery, take out stylus press and holding the reset inverted pin button in, remove battery, unclip micro SD card so it is loose, reclip, replace battery, release reset. This will now restart and work again. Do not use holix GPS viewer after 3 mins it will lock-up the phone and become non-responsive, only use it for no more than 30secs.

Do not use the mini CD active sync, first thing to do is get a hammer and bash it!

Download the active-sync from microsoft only.

before using the T32 remove the 1GB micro SD card, make sure your antivirus is uptodate, put card in a card reader and plug into USB PC, if there is a virus, trojan the antivirus will pick it up within seconds, eliminate it! copy what’s on the 1GB there maybe tomtom6 west-Euro maps to the PC then reformat it or even better upgrade to a 4GB or 8GB class (4) you will notice straight away the speed difference over everything.

Keep the phone away from anything magnetic speakers, magnetic latch phone holders, sitting on top of a computer, dehumidifier.

When recharging either have the phone on, then plugin to recharge, or turn it off, make sure the green light has stopped blinking before plugging in, always plug phone in first then power supply or USB to PC.

Make sure to install programs to Storage Card not to the phone, the class (4) cards are much faster and stable than class (2).

always check what you have downloaded from the net with a virus scan, Avast is pretty good, then transfer to Storage Card, Also remove micro SD card and use windows scan disk, and defrag to cleanup micro SD card using a card reader.

With overclocking the best application is:

It will only work if it is installed to the phone not the storage card

I have found improvements in speed at 208Mhz being maximum speed, since there is no more power supply available to go higher, and downscale to 154Mhz works great without it locking up when asleep.

It also has onscreen indicators CPU speed and program memory which is important as it can fall under 10Mb, even after programs have been closed, so seeing this the T32 will need a soft reset to restore program memory, mine floats around 18.9Mb, this phone could of done with a bit more program memory 128Mb would have been sufficient.

Some phones will have issues with soft resets so check to make sure yours restarts ok otherwise, just turn phone off then back on.

The SDHC patch works fine, but micro SD 4GB class (2) do not work it needs to be a class (4) for 4 and 8GB cards, not to sure how a 16GB class (2) is going to work, and being class (2) that is going to be sloooow.
