I have managed to install tt7 without any problems and it does work fine from the explorer, but it doesn't show up in the start menu (it isn't in the all programs list). Is it possible to add it here?

SOLVED: Just copy navigator.exe and paste it as a link in windows/start/programs
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] rob_brum:
was it 731.137 you got working?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] marc_blerk:
I have installed map for western europe 815.2024

The Tomtom version is 7.910.9185

And I also encounter the clipped voices. I already tried dutch, english and german (the ones I can understand) and it seems that Tomtom just plays the first part of the sentence.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] diamond2_dutch:
car symbol won't change

Cars cannot be selected as alternative for blue triangle. Added cars to Mijn apparaat/Navigator/art/cars.

Oops, sorry, now it works, all I did was change card and some more soft resets????????
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] BeQuietAndDrive:
I have installed Tomtom propperly but I can't add it to the programs list in my TD2. How do I do that?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] marc_blerk:
I had the same problem. You need to go to "verkenner" (explorer). Then search your install directory for tomtom and copy navigator.exe. Then you go to mijn apparaat/windows/starmenu/programma's (my device/windows/start/programs) and paste it as a link.

If you done good, tomtom shows up in Start/alles and you can add it to the Start.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] dadbif:
does tomtom 6 run on it, if so I will stick with that until the tt7 problem is fixed
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] cactusbob:

No SAT FIX

I tried Tomtom 7 on my Topaz, but after starting, tomTom didn`t find any Satellite. After reinstall the same Problem. Another Nav. Program is working fine, but I love Tomtom.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] dreaddan:
Aparently tt6 will run but only after running wvga3 I've not tryed it yet.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] dreaddan:
I might have found a fix :)

after seeing a workaround for tt6 when it had the same problem is to play a slient mp3 on loop before starting tt.

I tryed it quickly with a normal mp3 and it does seem to work.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] frankkk:
TT fix ?

does this fix /workaround solve the cutting-voices problem for TT7 on the TD2?:confused:

If it does: who is capable of creating a startup script for TT7?

Gonna try it myself asap.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] kly:
It couldn't find any satellites here either ... but it does work !

I took it for a drive and it seems to work, although it loses the signal from time to time.

It's certainly not ideal but it'll get fixed.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
Got Tomtom 7 working on my Topaz, but my version 8 UK map requires activation. I purchased the map legitimately from Tomtom and had it on my Touch Pro, but have now moved the map over to my Topaz. Contacted Tomtom to get them to send me a new metafile (i.e. licence file) so the map will be recognized, but thus far they are saying Tomtom Navigator version 7 is not supported in the UK because it hasn't been released here yet.

That's BS because they provided me with a metafile for my Touch Pro without batting an eyelid and that was on version 7 as well. Not only that, the version 6 I purchased was upgraded to 7 by Tomtom's own "Home" software!

Bastards! Now I have a legit map I can't use!

Anyone got any thoughts on a way forward with that? I'm still trying to get them to cooperate but I'm seriously running out of patience.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] dreaddan:
yer it does look like it works.

There's a cab + more details here ive not tryed the cab so i dont know whats in it or if it works etc etc
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] B1CEP:
you could just download a metafile/key generator, do a few searches on google, thats what i did! couldnt be bothered writing endless emails to tomtom for new activation codes etc.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
That's what I had to do in the end, Tomtom support were less than useless. Got it working now, except for the Traffic service, but that's another story...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] wadialdoor:
Hi all

I am using this copy of tomtom http://rapidshare.com/files/229808014/TT7_910.9185_VGA_black.cab on my TD2 and its working ok

I do not use the voices so I always have it muted
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] dreaddan:
that and the 915 version also has the same problem
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] @antonio@:
you excuse... solution for small compass on tom 7.915? :(

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] mayen:
Yepp!!!

It works fine :), Thanks!

No more clipped instructions with TTN7.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] diego1810:
:confused:maybe then it's a resampling problem of tomtom voice?

I think that it's a good idea to open data.chk file and try to encode it to a different frequency...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
Here's an interesting problem. If you run that version of Tomtom 7 (915?) that works with the Diamond 2, then when you try moving your Tomtom services (in my case Traffic) from your old phone (a TP in my case) to the TD2, Tomtom Home says it's an unsupported version and refuses to do the transfer. So now my Traffic service is stuck with my old TP (which I'm selling) and I can't get Traffic info on my TD2.

The only way forward I can see is to create another Tomtom account and pay for the Traffic service again - that'd be over £20 down the drain though, and I can't even be sure Tomtom Home wouldn't still moan about the software version. I've raised a support call with Tomtom but I know full well that all they'll say is "Can't help you, you're using an unsupported version". D'oh!

Has anyone else managed to move their Tomtom services over to their TD2, and if so, how did you do it?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] frankkk:
The fix playing mp3 while navigating with TT works very well: all voices are OK then:).

The cab you referred to is a script enabler. You can make a script (like a MS-DOS batch routine) to play a dummy (silent) mp3 file looped so tomtom works OK then. The cab file works but the script file isn't accurate anymore. I tried to modify it but still no success. Maybe someone else with more batch-routine-programming-experience can give it a try?

I like the idea of changing the audio rate better but wouldn't really know how to manage that. Someone?:confused:

Thanx for the workaround dreaddan!:cool:

voice clipping solved via script
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] frankkk:
i did that but the fix only seems to work with fhe HTC audio player instead of the windows media player. So we need another script which uses the HTC player...:confused:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] diamond2_dutch:
Playing a dummy mp3 in windows media player does not solve the voice clipping problem on diamond2 with TT 7.910(9185) or 7.915 , playing it in the free GSPlayer does help.

I was so annoyed about the clipping that I tried Sygic McGuider and iGO8. Although those also have strong points even with the voice clipping problem I prefer TomTom 7.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] f.canak:
I am using Coreplayer as my default mp3 player. I have tested it with coreplayer, divxplayer and HTC player and WM player. Only with WM player it does'nt work, when you play the silent "dummy.mp3". I think somehow the OS uses WMplayer for Tomtom and there is a problem between Tomtom en WMplayer.

I have set the Coreplayer as default with Resco Explorer. Far better and faster than Explorer.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] hotlips69:
I have downloaded a folder with celebrity voices (each voice is zipped), but don't know exactly where to put these files on my TD2 and would I need to unzip them first?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] diamond2_dutch:
Add a voice by copying a .chk and a .vif file to Navigator\voices.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] dreaddan:
or to your sd card \voices dir

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] diamond2_dutch:
tomtom 7 gets lost / position drift

Sometimes tomtom 7.910 seems to get lost. The road I follow is no longer strait up in front of me, but slightly rotated. At the horizon the road is in front of me. I use the 3D view. Next thing is that tomtom shows me driving besides the road. Satelite reception seems okay. Speed and time seems to be updated alright, distance and compass is wrong. Replanning doesn't fix it. Restarting the application does fix it. I use the dummy mp3 file in GSPlayer to work around the voice clipping problem. Helps fantastic, however I am hopig for a real fix. This position drifting has happened with and without the dummy mp3 playing.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] frankkk:
I noticed this problem too. It doesn't occur all the time. I can't reproduce it and the only solution is to exit tomtom and start it again. Annoying:(

The voiceclipping fix is published on another thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=513621. Works for me:)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] paul@rogerspictures.com:
I also can't get any services working, especially Traffic. It dosen't seem to recognise a data connection:

navcore 7.915 (9196) VGA

map GB 815.2024

Traffic accouont is there in My services with the valid until date correct, but when trying to use traffic:

"To access this service, you need to create a connection using your mobile phone or connect your device to TomTOm HOME"

with either a wifi or 3G connection.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
I believe I get this problem because I used to have a Touch Pro and my services are "attached" to that device. When I start Tomtom Home is says basically that I've attached a different device and would I like to associate my tomtom account with this new device, and it warns that doing so moves all my services over to that new device. When I tell it that's OK, it then comes up with some error saying it cannot move my services over to the new device. I have a call out with Tomtom which has been passed on to the techie guys. I'll let you know if they come up with anything, but my guess is they'll say it's an unsupported device so tough shyt.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Nederename:
TT7 WGA version

Anybody with tt7wga version because on my diamond2 i have little icons and stuff.

thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
I have an update from Tomtom support. They say 7.915 is unsupported on the TD2, but apparently 7.910 should be OK. I have downgraded and will try moving my traffic service subscription over to the TD2 using Tomtom Home tonight and report back. I don't hold out much hope though.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] B1CEP:
Any one notice that tomtom does not run as smooth as on the diamond1!!!, would downgrading to version 7.910 solve this?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] LPC:
Yup I spotted that this morning, it's feels like it's running at 2 FPS or something daft. I kinda zapped through a few roundabouts and stuff, very strange.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] B1CEP:
Yeah found that too, kinda gets left behind at round about :-(

tried down gradeing to version 7.910 and no joy, its exactly the same :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
Downgraded to 7.910. I still get Tomtom Home complaining when I try to move my traffic service over to my TD2, and I've informed Tomtom tech support, so we'll see what they say. Now that I'm running a version of Tomtom that they say they support, they'll probably just come back with "but we don't support the TD2 yet".

Anyway, 7.910 on the TD2 is slow and jerky, yes, but I'm not sure it's any worse than on the TP.

Curiously, when I first used 7.910, I got the voice clipping issue. For various reasons, I switched the phone into flight mode, and then back out again, and now the voice seems to work OK. Not sure if that was some kind of fluke or what. It'll probably go back to clipping on the next trip, but I thought I'd mention it - it's "self-curing" did seem to coincide with coming out of flight mode, so people might want to experiment with that.

More news when Tomtom respond about the services transfer thing.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] NeoGreendawg:
Every time I open TomTom and close it (to check) a data connection has started for some reason and the NoData .cab hasn't solved my problem. Does anyone know what I could try to stop this?

Edit : Installing a stock HTC ROM solved my problem so it looks like it was all down to the SFR customized ROM...

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] infoman68:
In Sfr customization, there is a tool, called "AGps"...

It replace quickgps... When you start TT7, "AGps" do a data connection...

You must go in "parameters", and AGps and unselect AGps...

(and install QuickGps after !!!)

Hello

I am using an MDA Compact V - T-mobile's branding of the Topaz.

I have installed tomtom 7.915.9196 using the link on these forums then got a free city map of King's Lynn. If it works then I'll buy a map of UK&I.

I've installed the audio fix - works fine for voices now ... thankyou.

BUT I cannot use full postcodes ... I have tried installing the postcodes fix but no joy. Can anyone help with this as I always use postcodes to set my destination.

You can download a fix from Tomtom to give full UK postcodes, not sure about other countries.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] NiOb:
same here, had bought the maps for my Diamond (which got stolen at work), changed not to topaz

and got TomTom working with the free Citymap, But couldnt activate my Western_and_Central_Europe-Map with that stupid TTHOME-piece-of-crap-Software...

so i turned to the support. long story short:

they could have just send an activation-code or dct-file but nooo ... device is not supported ... end of story

and this after 3 weeks discussing with them !!!

never again buying something from TomTom, service hopeless.

took the keygen now and downloaded most recent maps and some voices and its working.

maybe TomTom should use the keygen too, gives less trouble than the bloody TTHOME-Software

I had to install Windows for that piece of crap.

I wont buy anything from TomTom anymore. Was thinking of actually buing one of the GO-Devices

but now ... never ... or in other words "over my dead body" ...

spread the word, boycott TomTom :D !!!

cheers

Working TomTom

I have tried both the 7.4 and 7.9 versions and both work OK.

Both versions suffered from the voice clipping, but this was solved with the patch posted on this forum.

maps worked OK no issues with display with either version. and the ZIP code database worked OK when placed in the route of the SDcard or even the program files\ttn directory

what i did notice with the 7.4 version is that it didnt show any in formation for the satelites, like how many there was or where they were, but still worked OK.

Version 7.9 worked great and fitted the screen better, the keypad for typing was a lot bigger and easier to use so i would recommend this version

I have just received my Topaz, and flashed it with a WM6.5 French Rom( netDrg 2.5c).

Got TT7.916.9189 and France map 835.?

Unfortunately, no matter how hard I try, Tomtom displays 2 frames per second, making the exprience quite painful. No clipping audio issues, the phone works fine and has nothing but TT installed, soft resets have been made, but still could not find a way to have a smooth TT on a Sandisk 8Gb microSD

any clues to speed this up ?

My HTC universal crashes ( shuts off) after being disconnected from the charger for only a short while. I have noticed this when trying to make a telephone call and when listening to an audio book on Media.

The device is about 3 years old. The OS is Tomal version 8.5..is it an OS problem or battery problem.

I dont want to invest in a new battery if that is not the problem.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] kalya:
it's the battery!

It has to be the battery,see if it's bulged in the middle...means it has to be replaced.You keep using a near dead battery and one day it may leak/explode and damage your beloved Uni.Just change it.Or borrow one and see how your device performs so you can decide...

95% of not much charge is still 95% charged, its the battery. If you look on Ebay you can find batteries quite reasonable, but try to go for an original one.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] rkbrouwer:
Is that really true? The amount that the 95% is applied to is not a fixed amount and decreases over time? If that is so what is the purpose of something that says 95% full? How can I find out what full is?

Imagine a fuel gauge like that. The size of the tank gets smaller and smaller.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] responderman:
Testing your battery

The only true way to test your battery is to measure its voltage. the two larger terminals on the battery are the + and _, the _ is the terminal nearest the corner. test it with a mulimeter, if it is below 3.75 volt then charge it and test again. If it drops below 3.75 volts after a short time then it is worn out. the battery bar on the screen is only a rough idea of power left.

Hope this clears this up for you
