See my post above (#105). Your best bet - CALL customer support (1300 135 604). Don't waste time with the email/website support as it will take you two weeks to get where I got to, and you will want to engage in ritual sacrifice of the person at the other end. Tell them your phone model, and that there is a problem with the Touch Pro 2 which has been admitted by Tomtom technical support:

"Currently NAVIGATOR 7 users with the HTC Touch PRO 2 and HTC Touch Diamond 2 cannot download / install their purchased maps v8.40. The error message they get is: "This item does not work on your device. Therefore it cannot be installed"

We are aware of this issue and we are working on a fix.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Would you prefer to wait until the issue is resolved or receive a refund?"

Unfortunately, most of the nav software makers are currently only interested in a phone made by a piece of fruit, and don't think that people in Australia might want to use satnav. Copilot has been promising Aussie maps "next week" for a few weeks now.

Is it possible that this version is not compatible with certain maps? I downloaded Western and Central Europe 2GB version 840.2562 and the map doesn't show.

My BENELUX version 840.2561 on the other hand DOES show the map.

What could be the problem? Thoughts anyone?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Xtreme XL:
840.2562 is ONLY for PNA!!! not for PDA!

you need to buy TomTom Map Western and Central Europe 2GB v840.2561
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Kimbolicious:
Maps cannot be activated

Well I also installed the new version and now I'm having a problem that the map (western and central europe 2GB) cannot be activated again and it worked before.

Does anyone has an idea what causes this? tt7_keygen doesn't work anymore?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Aaron McCarthy:
I wouldnt be asking anyone on here about keygen programs. Thats a good way to get booted out of the forum. Simple rule, dont discuss cracked maps etc on here.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] []v[]o:
thx a lot mate!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Mister_T:
How did TomTom fix the issue for you? Maybe if you spread the word here it works faster for me and everybody else being in the process.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Kimbolicious:
What is 80% of this forum then? :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] andyld:
Best case is your money back

They didn't fix the map - it is still an issue for some of these maps, even though they are being sold by Tomtom as suitable for the TP2. They are however giving me my money back and cancelling the order, which means I at least have my money and no map, rather than no money AND no map. Calling them and repeating what I was told should speed up getting your refund.

What really annoys me is that they still offer maps for the TP2 that they know don't work. They make their money off the maps, not the software, so any sane business would try and make it as easy as possible for people to buy and use new maps.

Copilot is apparently releasing Australasian maps tomorrow - I would be sorely tempted except from previous experiences they seem to be just as customer unfriendly as Tomtom - at least they are generally cheaper!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kalhimeo:
Thank you for the cab.

However, I have a problem with the hardware keyboard of the TP2: I have some special characters appearing every time i press a key (i don't have this issue with the original one). Any idea ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Coderedpl:
Same problem here i noticed. I can't type using the physical keyboard, have to use the on-screen touch keyboard
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Dangerously:
You need to read the forum rules!

We have purchased the operating systems/software that shipped on our devices. Any download that is not freely distributed on our device or is not deemed to be freeware or a trial, is promptly removed from these forums.

Tomtom has always been free for mobile devices and in most cases some phones come with it pre-installed. Tomtom gives one free local city map to start out with.

What you don't understand is that the full maps that need activation are paid maps and are never shipped with any phone. These do not belong here and will get your account suspended or banned!

If a device comes with a demo of something, posting anything to do with cracking, keygens or other unlocking method is a ban-able offense!!!

Now some things do slip through the cracks now and then but 80% of this site is filled with warez???? You better rethink your statement!:rolleyes:

Edit: I just noticed Sleuth has summed up everything I just posted on the first page. I guess he beat me to it... :)

7.910 is extremely reliable.. won't jinx that with this. Thanks though.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Dexter_Morgan:
I still can't get tomtom home to do mapshare updates to the map on my device. It keeps saying I have an invalid version of tomtom navigator is on my device.

Any fix out there?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] andyld:
Still no luck with maps

Tomtom is still apparently having issues with the Rhodium. Map is still shown as incompatible with device. (Got my money back though)

On other hand, have decided that Copilot support is officially worse than tomtom. After a bit of an ordering nightmare in which I managed to purchase both copilot 8 core and a copilot v7 map on the one order, I was promised a refund by copilot (after about two weeks including follow-up hassles). After another few weeks, they released (finally) the v8 Australian map. Yippee, I went and bought this (refund on the way thinks me). A week after I paid my money, using the same account as all my support messages (meaning they could have checked that I'd already bought the new map), I get a message from copilot that they are going to just give me a v8 download and reg code instead of the refund I was promised. I promptly reply to say that I had already paid for the maps. There has now been absolute silence for 3 weeks...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] zomig:
Its a shame both HTC and Tomtom cannot sort this issue out between them, I will now be selling my device as not willing to wait any longer. Just now need to decide on what to replace it with.

The Toshiba TG01 has been released and is very cheap at £150 from orange but this is currently getting bad reviews even with the 1ghz snap dragon processor. The new nexus one is released but this one does not have a full hardware keyboard so in two minds about that. Will need to do some testing i think as may have to bit the bullet and get a phone with no hardware keyboard although that will take some getting used too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] andyld:
I have found out how to get support out of copilot. Raise a regular support ticket, then complain on @copilotsupport that you are not getting any attention - attention occurs within 48 hours (better than 3 weeks!). And here was I thinking that raising a request via the web support was their primary level of support, instead they actually recommend using support via twitter on @copilotlive

EDIT: I'm getting a refund again...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] renetp2:
no problems

Hi

I am using TomTom7.916.9189 (patched TP2) for 6 months now, on WM6.1 and WM6.5 and now on 2 custom roms.

radio 25.17. Getting a fix depends sometimes 30seconds till 2minutes with quickgps updated.

I installed it to my 8gb storagecard, i use benelux 840_2563 and

western_and_central_europe 2gb version all with (mobile) speedcamera's.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] zomig:
getting a fix is not normally an issue for me, it is the awful lag that is there which makes it not worth using.

The Toshiba TG01 which runs tomtom perfect and at a 3rd of the price, shame HTC cant get their act together.

Will now either sell my TP2 or keep it as a spare. Such a shame.

just my 2 cents worth.

Not seen that fix before so will give that a go, tried all the other fixes that are around to no avail. You never know this one may work.

Thanks for the info.

How about posting the file at megaupload? Rapidshare sometimes becomes hard to use as there is usually no room for free downloaders.

what about garmin xt

that anyone have suggestion for garmin xt
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] andyld:
Map now downloading

Whatever the issue is with the 8.40 map and the TP2, it is now gone! I have successfully downloaded the map, and it has come up with the right version number.

By coincidence, I had just complained again to Tomtom support and was told the problem still hadn't been fixed. As I'm suspecting it was purely a case of making sure the right model number was on the compatibility list, I wonder whether my query triggered someone to finally make the change...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] NormW:
Programs that work for me on my TP2 All North America Maps

OnCourse 8 -w w w.oncoursenavigator.com 8GB Card sells for $100 Ca funds

CoPilot 8 w w w.alk.eu.com/copilot bought it for $40.00 Ca funds

TOMTOM 7 works but laggy.

Garmin XT had it installed but it would show two of the same screens on my device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] zomig:
Well enough was enough, first the heat haze (newton ring) then this awful lag with tomtom, I have finally decided that the TP2 is the worst device HTC have released in 5 years. I have had a lot of htc devices and that was by the worst. I have now sold it and good riddance, definately wont be buying another Tp2 again. 3 replacement screens and no fix for the gps lag issue.

Just my 2 cents worth.

Not worth the £460 i paid for it when it was first released.

I am now using a HTC HD2 and although I miss the hardware keyboard (swype) is certainly a god send.

I have said this before but it is a shame tomtom and htc dont communicate and resolve these issues.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DMA71:
Slow ?

My Tomtom 7 works perfectly, the agps do miracles, but, but... it is slow..

Especially in the round-point, there is too much délay and it say "take the .." after we already took it..

Can it come from my micro sd car I have change (a good 8 Gbytes one) ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ultramag69:
I don't seem to find it lags on my TP2, couldn't tell you what version I'm running but it seems pretty good. Always had trouble getting a GPS fix, not sure if that's the TP2 or just Oz, much better after installing the GPS fix...

Have trouble getting fix with stand alone GPS 's too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] SMF_12:
tomtom looks wicked on the TP2. I downloaded the free london map but i live just outside london LOL

Its a shame there asking for £70 for the maps.

ill stick to copilot for now i think evan tho i would love to have tomtom on the TP2!!

Ive got it on my Nokia but need a external GPS receiver for that which does get annoying at times.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Aaron McCarthy:
A little bit of research goes a long way people. Firstly.. this isn't the first htc device with lag with tomtom. Back all the way to my Vouge I had lag and there have always been fixes. People even report some lag on their HD2 so... definatly NOT just our phone!

Secondly... gps fixes... again fixes.. in fact there have been HUGE leaps forward in fixing it all at once.

Have a read here TomTom Navigator 7 & 'Lag'

and you can actually skip right to here [GPS]GPS Mod Driver - Lag Fix, GeoCaching Fix, Hardware Compass Support, Multi-Device

Here's the same fix mentioned right on the xda front page so, again.. a little bit of reading and doing some reasearch really does go a long way. If you have something to complain about with the phone (or phones) odds are others have AND they have come up with a fix. Next time instead of complaining just do what you need to do to fix it! :)

XDA Front Page Article

And lastly... what version of tomtom are you actually running because the version that is being discussed in this thread is old. You can get a newer one here ----> New TomTom tt7.918.9193 for HD2

Combine the new tomtom and the gps mod and you'll be in business!

When in doubt... use that little search option in the top right of EVERY page in the XDA forums!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Showtime7:
Does the newer TomTom work with the TP2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Aaron McCarthy:
... yes. That would be why I mentioned in there. :P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ultramag69:
Nah, tried tt7.918.9193. Had a heap of trouble... I'll stick with what works...

As they say... "If it aint broke, don't fix it...":p
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Teej53214:
Ok... a few points I would like to make...

the 918.9193 works beautifully...

I never noticed the "natigate to contact" option before reading about it in this post... it is AWESOME... I sync my phone with my computer, and have photo contact that contain all phone #'s, emails ,addresses, etc so my stuff is all intergrated.. I have wanted for a long time since my first TomTom software (version 5) for it to be able to navigate to my contacts.. awesome... I am running a CDMA TP2 (US Cellular branded - USA) GSM unlocked with a local carrier using a newer Energy rom... all works great

Also, I wasn;t aware of the GPS mod driver.. Thanks for that too.... My boredom this mornign payed off and now my TomTom is even cooler...

Hopefully TomTom offers to sell (and fix) that Traffic seperatly again.. I paid $25/yr for the service, which I found to be reasonable... Now they upped it for $50/ 6 mo in the "tomtom live" package.. I don;t need the rest, I just want traffic! and $50/6mo is not worth it for it for me... $25 yr is my limit right now... $2/mo.... I hope someone at TomTom reads this.... $25/yr is better than the $0/yr I am paying now.. lol..

Thanks again for all the input and information people!

Tom Tom HELP ??? FOR Touch Pro 2

Does anyone have a WORKING link to a version of this and possibly a direction to a website that I can get North America ( NYC ) maps for it ...

I have successfully installed AMAZE GPS. ROUTE66, GARMIN MOBILE XT and others like BING and GOOGLE MAPS but must say so far I am disappointed ...

if anyone can send me a message as to where I might download a working version for the Touch Pro 2 I would be externally most greatful ...

thanks in advance

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DavidinCT:
If your asking for a location besides "www.tomtom.com" to get your maps, like for free, your asking to get punted. TomTom's maps are pay-for maps, so it would be hacking if your asking for them for free.... AKA Warez

Anyway...

Does anyone know of a version that will fix this F'n tomtom lag for good or are we stuck with laggy software on TomTom as long as we have a TP2 ? I have done everything, reg hacks, GPS driver, Bluetooth hack, some helped a little but, do not fix the problem.

The GPS driver, helps but, if your trying to travel in a city where there are a lot of roads, one after another, it's pretty worthless, unless you keep your eyes on the screen (and not drive), it does not update that quick, I have missed roads before with it, so, it's pretty worthless.

My old Titan/XV6800, had perfect A-gps data on it, 5 second locks and NO LAG at all on Tomtom, the TP2 is a better phone but, sucks at GPS.

I paid for TomTom and as for GPS navi, it's my favorite, so spending another $100+ on another package is out of the question.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ssx1000:
-> kinda like real-life-cheating - and you know what people say about cheaters and their wiener? xD (sorry for off topic)

Well I have the newer 918.9193 version and it works great but navigation for walking sucks because when you are moving slow it often doesn't recognize your movement ... haven't tried the mod driver yet but I will give it a try even though i don't really trust that thing :-P
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Teej53214:
I never really had the entire "lag" problem myself... nothing that made tomtom "useless"... I have that GPS driver thing, and it is cool.. but it eats the battery too fast I now think....

something I want to try though is this... I love the voie guidance (and free traffic) on Bing... It is awesome.. Is there a way to have bign running in the back ground, and TomTom running on the screen? so I hear Bings voice direction, and see tomtoms? Just thought I would ask...

Hi all - my poor Kaiser has suffered the dreaded RLOD. Tried every possible fix short of a new battery... which I should get in the mail this week.

If the phone itself is bricked, what would people recommend in terms of a replacement/upgrade? I'm in Canada on Rogers so it has to be a GSM phone. Generally use it for business apps.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Matt
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] denco7:
Slider keyboard, Touch Pro II or AT$T Tilt 2: Screen keyboard, Touch HD. Or wait for HTC's rumored ( and I think just a rumor, complete with " leaked " photoshopped pics) superphone, the HTC Leo.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Erbid:
"Tilt II" or (cheap) Kaiser

I was in the same position a couple days ago.

I decided to replace mine with another Kaiser. And I got the part to fix my dying phone as well, for a bit more. Less than $200 spent for two.

In good condition a Kaiser can be had for well under $150.

A fixer-upper can be pieced together for well under $100. (you've torn a Kaiser apart a few times? New screen, etc?) Parts are cheap and a junker to fix (Broken screen or hinges...) is almost free.

But if I were willing to have a contract, the Tilt II or a variant with number keys across the top... sure looks good. I haven't compared the size and weight, but since I already carry a tiny brick, it would be fine, I'm sure. I understand it's better in a few ways. (Audio jack, Screen resolution) and with more horsepower, the screen updates may be quicker, accelerated drivers or not!

I went with the Kaiser, but I did not know about the Tilt II until after I had purchased. Saved me some money, and now I have a backup with identical (but not as pretty) hardware.

Seems like win-win with either platform!

jc
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Not sure what to suggest re a replacement (and your budget will likely come into it as well) but how about detailing all the fixes you've tried - you may have missed one or two and there have been extensive posts on the topic here. It'd be much preferable, I'm sure you agree, to fix it at low or nil cost rather than having to buy a replacement.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kingmatt:
Hey guys - first off, thanks for the suggestions above. The offerings from my carrier are weak (best right now is Touch Diamond) but I may look for an aftermarket Tilt 2.

Flying Kiwi, I would definitely be happy to get my Tilt working again - even just to squeeze a few more months out until the Hero is available here. I've read through every thread I could find about RLOD and haven't had any luck. Its actually the second time I've had the red light... the first time was about three months ago. I left the SIM and battery out overnight and the next day it came back to life... but my battery life was severely shortened after that. I could barely get 8 hours out of it before it was at 0%.

On Friday of last week it ran out of juice completely and RLOD was waiting for me in the morning. I tried leaving the battery and SIM out as before and I actually did get the amber light back at one point. I immediately plugged the charger in and hoped it would be fine like last time. Unfortunately the red light was back about 2 minutes later.

Based on the various posts on the subject, I've tried pressing buttons in a specific order, tried "jump starting" the battery, cleaned the contacts, etc... not even a hint of life. That's why I'm thinking that a new battery might be the only chance I have left. But if you know of any other methods I'd love to try!

Man, I miss my phone.....
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Sounds familiar

If you do have a known fully charged battery (perhaps borrowing a friends one) it'd be worth performing a hard reset. It does sound like a spot of the same trouble I briefly had a year or so ago though and I rectified it very quickly with a careful, thorough contact clean (both the spring contacts and battery terminals). I realise you've said you performed a contact clean but what did you use and how did you do it? I don't know if you're aware but it's possible for invisible film to ruin the connection and what looks like a clean connection could still be to blame... If you have a cradle charger, you could also try charging the battery in that before fitting it and perfoming a hard reset. They're cheap enough to buy and enable you to charge 2 batteries at a time (1 in the phone and 1 in the cradle bay).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kingmatt:
No luck.... just tried to clean it again with acetone and still the red light. Twas a good thought though!! :)

And I've searched around for a replacement battery but no one around here has this particular phone... its not generally available up here so I bought one from eBay.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Contact cleaner is cheap enough

I wouldn't give up on that being a cause, especially given the 2 mins on charge scenario. I suggest you use the product specifically designed for such cleaning jobs, contact cleaner (and apply it with the end of a cotton bud soaked in the stuff). A few gentle rubs with this will ensure it's electrically connecting fine.

I bought a battery (and cradle charger bundle) from eBay for my Kaiser and although it works, the quality certainly wasn't up to the original one that came with the phone. It doesn't fit as well either and causes the back cover to protrude a little rather than sitting flush. Twas very cheap though :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kingmatt:
hehe, ok I'm not particularly patient :)

I will definitely leave it charging overnight and hope that it decides to spring to life. My biggest concern is that the red light stays on even if the battery out - while plugged in of course. Just makes me think the phone itself is pooched.

I wish I'd thought of that before ordering this new battery... although if it works I'll likely order another battery and cradle as a back up right away.

Although now that I'm looking at these Touch Pro 2s on eBay they're looking very tempting. :)
