Absolutely agree with everything posted here.

I have paid for TomTom Nav 6, the most up-to-date maps (early 2007), extra voices, Speed Camera & Traffic subscriptions - and have now been told it's no longer supported (they will not be issuing new maps).

I have raised support calls & spoken to them on the phone - they agree this is now obsolete and they have no plans to release TomTom 7 in this country (UK). They even said if you have TomTom 7 in the UK it's an illegal copy!

I want my money back. I was told there would be 4 map updates every year - there was only 1 update after I bought the software.

Having said all that, I am struggling to find a viable alternative. I need to traffic to make it worthwhile (as I do the same trips most days, but need traffic warnings due to motorway snarl-ups).

I'm v.impressed with the trial of Navigon MN7 - but there seems to be no way of getting TMC traffic on the Kaiser in the UK (outstanding support call with Navigon as well now...).

If anyone finds an alternative, please let me know.

I really don't understand TomTom's position on this. They have a market leading product and now choose to pull out of the market - at exactly the point you would expect the PDA solution to supercede the traditional separate unit. In my company we looking to stop using 250 TomTom units and repace them with an integrated PDA solution - so TomTom will (eventually) lose out big-style. They seem to be shooting themselves in the foot. :o:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Flying Kiwi:
CoPilot Live 7 is one alternative that was bundled with some Kaisers

CoPilot Live 7 works on the Kaiser, indeed some UK providers bundled the two together. I have no personal experience of the product so I don't know how up to date their maps are but CoPilot maps are provided by a different company to TomToms maps (Navteq vs TeleAtlas respectively) and fewer countries/regions are covered at the moment compared to TomTom, I'm sure a search here and on google will yield lots of results.

As for getting your money back, see if you can find some documentation showing they said there'd be 4 maps a year, then talk to the C.A.B. or your Trading Standards Office - good luck with that:cool:

I think you also have lots of good points that'd be best dealt with via a letter or Fax to the company boss. If they REALLY want to get out of that section of the market due to piracy issues, it's throwing out the baby with the bath water. Instead they should be looking at improving security and making the product less easy to steal - perhaps by using activation for BOTH the software AND maps.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] MaDing2000:
Thanks for the clarification and for soothing my conscience...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Ramsfan_Jim:
I have spoken to ALK regarding switching to CoPilot, but was told their maps are also over 18 months old, and they will not be releasing updates for CoPilot 7. They could not give me a date for CoPilot 8, but if they do not issue map updates, then it will be exactly the same problem as TomTom i.e. It will become obsolete. :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Flying Kiwi:
I could only dream of having a TomTom map thats age is in months rather than years!

Maybe not program updates but the map would still be newer to start with (although in fairness I've not compared the two in the areas where TomToms maps have things wrong).

Most importantly, they've also not said they'll be releasing future versions only bundled with devices. This means if you're keen for the absolute latest and greatest maps and you're willing to pay, they'll still be providing suitable products - not something that can be said of TomTom.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tj80:
Check the network settings for the account

I had the same problem last night after upgraded to 2.03. I have my GMail set up to sync over GPRS/3G but for some reason it won't work if the account is set to use "The Internet" as the connection, even though my GPRS connection is linked to "The Internet". Opera works fine so it seems to be a problem with the messaging app. If you change your mail account settings to connect using your GPRS connection it should work fine.

Everyone has problems with GPS and I wish that HTC would fix this. However i used the Elite RC3 ROM last week and they seemed to fix it on mine so it might be worth trying custom Roms.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jaszek:
I tried that but it still doesn't get a fix. Also when I put a new rom on my phone and use SPB backup to restore my contacts and programs, will the programs work? It would be too much installing for me after I flash the new rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] marcd:
What i do is this. I have an 8GB expasion card in mine so i install all the programs/games i need to that. i also use PIM backup to backup all my contacts.

All i do is run PIM backup to backup messages, contacts etc and copy all my shortcuts from the programs menu. When you hard reset or flash all you will need to do is restore the PIM backup, restore you shortcuts and you're sorted.

However if some programs require serials, you will need to enter them back in again as this is saved in the registry on the device it self. Any personal settings for those programs should be saved too providing it saves them to the storage card.

Hey,

Does anyone know how i can slow down the scrolling speed on these. Cause now the program list is not nice to look trough. When i scroll slowly and release my finger it shoots trough like crazy, nearly all the way to the Z... I have to scroll, hold for a second and then release in order for the list to stand still, and then sometimes i accidently activate the wrong app. SO where can i decrease scrolling speed and the time it requires to hold down in order to stop the list from moving.

Ive added a youtube vid to illustrate what i mean:

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] WildAce786:
Hello all,

I've now had my TP for almost 3 months and am truly loving it. As you might know, I was a TOTAL noob to WinMo, and in regards to some of the more advanced things, I still am.

This brings me to my topic:

I would like to know if Microsoft Outlook allows for "Push" e-mail on to the TP. If not, what recommended E-mail systems are out there that can push to the TP (i.e. gmail, hotmail, yahoo)?

I am currently using Comcast, and was considering going the Mail2Web route, but it seemed too confusing...I know, I'm a moron. (As for "Seven", I've heard it's not yet stable and it severly taxes the battery.) As such, if anybody who has had success with Mail2Web and the Touch Pro, would you mind posting (or PMing) "step-by-step" instructions on how you got it working?

In either case, I also ask the more experienced people if you can either tell me or direct me to a site which explains the whole concept of Outlook, Exchange, and other elements of Push e-mail.

Thank you in advance,

- WildAce786.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DrzNight:
Try seven.com you'll love it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] WildAce786:
LOL, I was just editing that into my OP.

I've heard it's not stable yet in that there is a delay in receiving E-mails and that it places a large drain on your battery.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] DrzNight:
Although it is still in a beta stage I don't think it unstable at all and emails at least for me being pushed from gmail come within 2 seconds. I can't disagree that it will take a toll on your battery but that's the price we pay for push email. If anyone has any other suggestions I'd also be glad to know.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] steb0ne:
I use Mail2Web. It's easy to setup, just go to Activesync and add a server and use:

whateverusername@mail2web.com (as the username)

ur password

and skip the auto detect the server step and use:

mobile.exchange.mail2web.com (as the server)

**Note-I don't use mail2web as my email, I use gmail. And what I did was set my gmail account to foward to the mail2web account, so I get the emails pushed from both. However, the outgoing email address it shows, when I send a message is the mail2web account.

I've been using this for a while, and it works pretty good. I get email notifications pretty much instantly with this setup, and also syncs my contacts, calendar and tasks online for easy backing up
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] WildAce786:
I would like to keep 3rd party sources as a second option.

First, I would like to know if Microsoft Outlook has the ability to Push E-mail to the TP without severly draining the battery.

Now, if that is not an option, then I would like some clarification on the Mail2Web process.

1) Do I need to register with mail2web first?

2) When you said

, where exactly is Activesync located and how can I go about adding a server to it?

I know I sound like a moron, but that's because in this matter, I am:p.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] bkeaver:
another option is EMOZE. Its a good alternative to seven if you just care about emails. it really dont do the contacts too well and calendar not at all. again good app if you just care about getting your gmail emails....
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] WildAce786:
Well, after a lot of searching, I went ahead with steb0ne's idea of using Mail2Web LIVE. So far it works great, especially since I've set all my comcast e-mails to autoforward to the M2W account so I can receive them "instantly" as well.

I do have a few concerns though that maybe a few of you guys can address:

1) How does Direct Push actually work? Does it establish a connection every so often looking for new messages?

2) Generally speaking, how much battery life does it drain during the course of a normal 8-hour day if I keep Direct Push active in the Comm. Manager?

3) How good is M2W at keeping SPAM messages away?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] Skyh123:
I have used seven, mail2web, and the sprint mobile email app. I prefer mail2web over the others. The sprint app is based on the seven email program, but only allows for one email address.

With the seven program I have noticed a noticeable lag in receiving my email. I have sent an email to the an account, received in on my desktop and still dont get it for up to 10min on my phone. With Mail2web I usually get it on my phone before the computer, also the online system they use will save all of your contacts, calender so you can access it from your phone or computer, as well as have an easy backup if you lose your phone, or do a hard reset.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] bdf:
So if I use seven, which they and Sprint say my TP is not supported, does it still send from my email addy or some seven.com email?

for me its all but useless to just get email if I cant send it.

So I just did a ton of research on the web because the wiki is useless and might as well not exist.

I am using a Sprint HTC Touch with the official Sprint WM6.1 ROM from HTC.

So after my research, this is what I got (Please correct me if I am wrong):

1. Run 2.31.Coke and unlock the phone via USB/ActiveSync

2. Download NSFAN's latest Sprint WM6.1 Rom and extract to desktop

3. Rename ROMFILE.nbh to voguimg.nbh

4. Copy voguimg.nbh to MicroSD card that has been formatted to FAT32

5. Insert MicroSD card in phone, and enter bootloader via holding down the Power/Camera/Reset buttons all together.

6. Flash ROM

7. Hard Reset Phone

8. Enjoy

So to the everyday flasher here on the Vogue forum, are these steps correct? And if so, why dont you take the time to update the wiki so people dont have to ask the same repetitive question 1000 times?

I just cant believe that this forum has zero ROM flashing stickies, or and updated wiki.

Either way, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,

Daniel
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Csquared:
You are correct, but you do not need to do steps 3 thru 5. After you extract the ROM on your desktop simply doubleclick the RUU utility and it will update your ROM. (you must still be connected via USB to computer) If you want to flash from your storage card instead then do steps 3 thru 7.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siedkins:
Hi guys,

I've been trying without succeeding to make it that they phone locks when I put the phone into sleep mode (short tap of power button).

I used the SPB mobile shell so I've tried mapping either the left or right softkey to applications such as "LockAndOff" and "DeviceLock" however as soon as I navigate around on SPB, the soft keys revert to the SPB defaults. I've also tried "Advanced Config" to do the same but somehow SPB over-rode the settings.

I was using Slide2Unlock for a while, which did exactly what I wanted it to do apart from it wasn't very stable on my X1 and I occasionally has issues answering the phone or waking it up from sleeping, so I've now removed it.

How can I either:

a) Keep SPB from re-mapping the soft keys - so that I can assign one of the keys to one of the programs I've got

b) Remap the power button to run one of these programs at a short touch

c) Improve the stabiliy of S2U - does anyone else have this problem.

Plz let me knpw,

I had the Standby of Death SOD this is when the phone fails to come out of standby with a power button press. This issue only affects some people on some networks. I'm not sure if its a network problem or a software problem but as only a minority of people have it, I suspect its mainly a network problem there is a software solution.

The solution is to change the phone settings band option from auto 3G/2G to either 3G Only (WCDMA + UTMS 2100 in Europe) or 2G Only (GSM + AUTO) depending on your requirements.

Also read this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=540943&highlight=standby&page=2 where the resolution was to get a new SIM.

Obviously this only solves the problem when the crash is because of the sim and/or settings which impact the sim. To rule out a software cause its best to start with a hard reset.
[General Questions and Answers] earthtodigi:
Can someone please explain to me how the Opera adaptive zoom works exactly. I understand the basics of it, but lately I've noticed some weird behavior that has confused me.

I have my values set as:

Minimum zoom - 80

Maximum zoom - 100

Overview zoom - 50

Virtual width - 800

I understand the screen width, and the overview zoom, but the min and max is where I get confused. If I go to the XDA home page, and double tap the about XDA paragraph, it zooms 80%, but if I double tap the navigation links in the left column Main Menu box (Homepage, Donate, Forum, etc.), it zooms to 100%. Also, if I go to the Google homepage, and double tap anywhere on the page, it will zoom 80%, except one little patch on the page to the right of the search box, there are links for Advanced Search, Preferences, Language tools. If I double tap there, it will zoom to 100%.

So, I guess I understand what the values are, I just dont understand where it chooses between minimum zoom and maximum zoom on a webpage. Hopefully what I'm asking makes sense.
