TomTom HOME with Xperia - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys;
I am trying to connect my Xperia and TomTom Home together in order to buy(!)/download/install new maps+updates and use Map Share.
Unfurtunately, I did not have any luck yet: TT-Home keeps waiting for connection and does not recognize any TomTom device.
Could someone point me to the right direction?
Do I need some special Home version (mine is 2.4 from the tomtom's website)?
Does TT need to be installed in some special way (mine is the very latest 7.910, installed as cab from the card's 2577 folder to main memory)?
...thanks in advance!

Home?
You don't need Tom Tom Home. When you startup TomTom on your phone and there is no map it will automatically ask you to download a "city" map to test the features or buy a map. At least that happened on mine

I haven't managed to get tomtom home 2.* to work either, but tomtom 1.6 works fine, you can download that from the tomtom home page

You can download 1 free city map but it won't let you buy any more - message states that this is not available in your region (yet)

no, I definitively need it. I want to buy/download/use/update big maps and also use Map Share. It is impossible without TomTom Home.

Thanks a lot but I think that TomTom HOME 1.6 for NAVIGATOR 6 only (and does not support Map Share), and I'm trying NAVIGATOR 7 which is only supported by 2.4.
HTC owners with pre-installed TomTom 7 are able to use it with TomTom Home -- I want it too! Therefore I'm asking if someone already got this connection.

anyone?...
or nobody has TTHome + TT7 running?..

For me it doesnt work too.
I have the 7.4 something version running and Tom Tom Home dont recognize it..
How were you able top use the 7.9 Version of Tom Tom on your X1 ?
When I try to install it a message shows up that my device is not compatible or something...

I don;t know if it may help, but I have a touch diamond (and soon getting the x1) but tt home worked for me. Have you tried to hook up your device as diskdrive rather than in active sync mode? It worked for me that way with tt home

hi, I had tomtom home 2.6 detecting x1 ok and installing mapshare updates. but since Ive flashed to the uk r3a rom, tomtom home cannot detect any device "No device connected".
Ive tried changing the usb to pc settings.
I notice in system, settings, device information , my memory card id and card version only has little squares instead of a number or whatever is should be?
Ive flashed to touch-it v9 (r3a) and still no device connected.
wonder if anyone has tomtom home 2.3 or 6 and x1 wth r3a rom working ok ?
TIA.

I've got the same problem after flashing r3aa

Same here (R3AA013).
Somebody a solution?

I´m fishing up this thread to see if anyone has come up with a solution/can give me an idea where to continue searching for an answer. As previous posters it worked perfectly with TTN7 and TTHome2.7 (yes a legit bought version) but since I´ve flashed the latest official firmware from SonyEricsson and TTH won´t detect my device. The X1 is not hardspl as it seems that r3a firmware is the problem.
Any ideas since TTH unfortunately wont update TTMobile of a memorycard it has to detect the phone. I´ve tried all setting regarding connection I can find both on the phone and on the PC, even tried XP, Vista & W7.
I´m reluctant to downgrade the rom back as I fins the r3a to be a lot quicker but if that is what it takes...
All help greatly appreciated.

annoyance.
I think its a deliberate move by TomTom as they want TomTom 7 to be exclusive to certain phones. What their reasoning is I dont know, but as stated previously, TOMTOM home 1.6 although more primitive does seem work with the tomtom 7 software. you can download updates and install stuff like new voices and maps, but I dont think it has mapsharing.
This exclusivity BS has been annoying me and even though I paid for the maps I am thinking of changing my GPS software to Garmin or something.

That should not be the case as my version of TT7 is bought separately on DVD and as stated on the package "Requirements: Any PocketPC running Windows Mobile 5 or above". I have not downloaded any of the hacked versions laying around.

Well if its offical then maybe the tomtom customer support can help you. ive just looked at the aussie site and all they appear to be doing there is providing software and support for the iphone. no mention of winmo at all.

I decided to downgrade the Xperia ROM to R2A and live with it, TT Home is working again.
Btw here´s a link to the swedish tomtomstore selling the app and the phones it works with:
http://www.tomtom.com/products/section.php?ID=898&Section=709&Lid=18&Category=2

What are the differences between r2a and r3a
so it seems to me, that the diference between the old rom and the new is, that there is a change in the rom that says tthome that the x1 is the kovsky.
so has anyone an idea, where the information of the tpye of the experia is stored on the rom r2a and what has changed that r3a doesn work with tomtom home (i have a legal sd card, that does not work with my phone because it says incompatible device. i just copied all data form the sd card to another card without the tt7 software. then i downloaded an tt7 software and installed it on my x1, since i have a legal one an the support din't help me with a patch and tomtom din't give me my money back)
today i 've seen that x1 is now on the list, so i would be glad if someone can help me to run my tomtom software with the newest rom, since tomtom support doesn'T help me)

hi to evryone
if somebody needs the latest tomtom 7 navi for xperia....
just post me....i got it with key;o)

Tomtom on Kaiser?

Hello,
anyone who has Tomtom working on the Kaiser?
The application runs, but recognizes no maps, allthough the Western Europe Map is present...
Greetz,
Forrest
Netvigator
Yes, I have got Tomtom 6 running on Kaiser and using the latest 6.75 maps and it works perfect.
Great! Can you tell me how you did it?
Maybe I should rename the directory of the Western Europe map on my SD, but I don't know how it should be named...
Thanks!
It works! I renamed the map a few times, and suddenly it was recognized!
Thanks anyway!
How is the GPS in acquiring a GPS fix?
Is it quick?
Thanks,

If you check the box carefuly, you'll find disk with tomtom app. The version there is newer thet anything you can get elsewhere, but only works with kaiser...

You can't download it. It is included on the CD. Aside from that, TT 6.032 does not work on other devices, it will simply refuse to install.
As far as the fix is concerned, as I already mentioned in another thread, it's really a lot quicker than on the Trinity (Qcomm) or x7500 (Sirf III) and also a lot more sensitive (7 bars on the dinner table compared to 0 for the x7500)
Got my kaiser yesterday, used the tomtom this morning on the way to work , the lock on time was about the same as my sirfiii external unit around 90ecs, was only get around 3-4 sats though so weaker than the external unit. I was not using quick gps fix either.
I will see how it goes as i can always use the external unit with it anyway. handy to have it all built in though.
device seems very responsive compared to my vario II.
time will tell.
Actually, you should be able to manually replace the .exe of 6.032 over a 6.030 install...
Actually, you should be able to manually replace the 6.032 .exe over the 6.030 .exe...
where on the cd is the tomtom cab? I looked at each folder on both cd's that came with the kaiser and nothing. Any chance someone can send me the file? I will proof I do own tomtom maps and a kaiser, please pm.
It is called "Installer_Kaiser_ttn_6_032_8351_HTC_WWE_20070716.exe" on my cdrom, yours should be the same. The cdrom also has the tomtom logo on it as well.
I have had mine freeze twice now whilst using it, i think it may have something to do with the traffic subscription as i have just had that transferred over to my new kaiser, before it was fine with tomtom. Will continue testing to see how frequent this becomes....
It appears that there are two versions of the applications disk. Can HTC's TomTom app be downloaded from their site?

boy, if some kind sould could put this up someplace...
well i guess seeing as it cannot be installed on any other device apart from the Kaiser I dont see any reason not to post it up as no one apart from Kaisers owners can install it anyway.
Obviously if this causes an issue i will remove it immediately....
HERE
Thx Zomig. Much appreciated!
Thanks! Just need to wait for the 8925 release now and see if there's anything else we're missing.
-Mc
Hmmm....McHale- I doubt that AT&T will be releasing Tomtom with their units...
I'm sure they're not. I actually meant if they cripple the device in any way like removing the front camera. I still haven't seen an official release that says it has GPS.

TomTom or other GPS Software

Anyone able to get TomTom 6 to work on the Kaiser? I get an error that its not a valid PDA. If TomTom is not compatible is their any other program that people Recommend for GPS? I just dont want to pay monthly for Telenav. I appologize if this was a thread already but i did not see one regarding it.
Thanks!
tomtom 6.030 is working for me. Haven't tried 6.032. The software is awesome. Only complaint is loading up GPS is slow, but that shouldn't be tomtom's fault.
Take a look at: http://www.expansys.nl/ft.aspx?k=100176
Anybody with Kaiser from T-Mobile Netherlands, does it come with TomTom?
I can't find it on the supplied CD(it came with one cd).
Am I missing something or I should start bothering T-Mobile for what's mine?
I have a post on XDA with tomtom working on the tilt. I included a link to the cab.
I'm currently using Igo which is a nice piece of software. I've only just started using it, having moved over from tomtom. It looks better, but I've not done any rigorous testing to see how complete it is. Time will tell.
T-Mobile doesn't include TomTom with the Kaiser on their cd.
Only the unbranded Kaiser has this software.
I really like Windows Live Search (wls.live.com). So much so that I removed Google Maps and TomTom from my device.
i use iGuidance 4 which works very good in my area (chicago) I also like the voice prompts...i don't think tomtom has the text to voice prompts in it...i think you have to add it in...

I was thinking of giving this a try. Tom Tom is OK, but I liked my Garmin XT better but it ONLY works with the supplied external GPS receiver. They have a version coming out that allows you to use an on board GPS, but they have chosen to lock down the next version to a supplied memory card. And on top of it, they are essentially forcing anyone who bought the Mobile XT product to pay full price again for this draconian action. Not very customer friendly. Since when has limiting choice been a positive selling point, especially with the Windows Mobile Community which is used to an open platform. They don't get it. I'll live with second best if it comes down to it.

Bij de mda vario 3 zit standaard geen tomtom geleverd. Ik heb tomtom v6.1 geinstalleerd en liep gelijk. blijf wel van de interne settings van de gps af! Zodra je tomtom geinstalleerd hebt, kies dan voor nmea en de rest gaat van zelf. Miomap v3.3 en navigon 6 werken na instalatie ook gelijk.
When i try to install TomTom with the listed cab file from the other post. I get the error " Unable to install application please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again" Its a brand new tilt i got in the mail yesterday running ATT software. Any way i can get a work around for this? I am pretty new to the HTC family so im gona be honest i dont know how to manipulate the phone very well, but i really want to get TomTom on my phone.
Thanks in advance

Hello Uppity,
Sorry to hear you are having so many issues. I hard reset my device after the initial "start-up" that took place at the AT&T store. I understand that the Tilt does not have the external ROM that the previous HTC devices had so if you hard reset the device some of the restrictions/changes AT&T built into or removed from the device are either not loaded or now become available. An example of this is the "Internet Sharing application was not available on my Tilt with the initiial AT&T ROM loaded from the store but after my hard reset it was available and more importantly enabled me to tether my laptop to the Tilt and use it as a modem.
I suspect AT&T may have also blocked the loading of other GPS software in an effort to use their $10 a month telenav.
I have tomtom 6 loaded on my device and it works without any issues. You may want to try to hard reset your device and then try to load tomtom6
Can't say for sure if this will work, but I have not had any issues with loading/running tomtom 6.
I use iGuidance 3 (haven't spent the money to upgrade to 4 yet) and I'm very happy with it.

I got my tilt on launch day (2.5 weeks ago?) and that cab has been proven to work on many tilts. make sure you have the right cab that i posted and if not maybe try installing the tilt ROM that people have posted. when doing a rom, make sure you read because you can brick your phone

TomTom brakes WM6 Installation on Kaiser.

My TYTN II has been rendered half-working for a second time. Both times this happened after Tom Tom was installed.
I have 4 GB SD Card. I use TomTom by copying all files/directories from the TomTom provided MicroSD card to the root of my 4 GB SD card. There are also other directories ( i.e Program Files ) in the root of the SD card.
The first time it broke , I simply run the TomTom Update function from within TomTom. It downloaded an update , installed it and then broke the device/Windows Media installation.
When it “brakes” the Windows Media 6 installation , it renders the mobile OS half working. The buttons on the side - TurnOff/On and Camera buttons - stop working. The device itself becomes very slows – it takes 2 secs to go into Programs. The camera application starts but then nothing happens when you tap the on-screen functions /buttons. , The device will not rotate the screen when using the external keyboard , TomTom stops starting at all.
The second time TomTom broke my device was after simply starting TomTom – it hung and after a soft reset my device was left in the same state.
Device:
HTC TYTN II Kaiser / Vario III
ROM ver 1.56.110.4
Windows Mobile 6
TomTom ver 6.010.
try intsalling tomtom 6.030 which can be found in the kaiser wiki. I have that installed on my kaiser and have no problems, then just copy the maps you want over to your storage card.
good luck.

I am not sure where I can get the latest version from ! I don't have any TomTom versions on my Kaiser CD and I didn't find any updates downloads on tomtom.com. Tomtom Home is saying may device doesn't need updates.
The only thing i can re-try is to reinstall the whole device and then run update from within TomTom but then this broke the device once already ..

I will try although I have always been wary of running exes from the internet on my Windows Box be it mobile or not.
Anyway , it turns out the problem is not specifically within TomTom 6.010 but has to do with the fact that I am running another app , a dictionary, besides TomTom. After uninstalling the the App , the device works fine.
I am very angry with TomTom support though , whose response was , as expected - "TomTom works on the Manufacturer provided 1 GB SD card - use it from there. If you have problems call HTC" .
[email protected] Fflippers TOMTOM , IF YOU MAKE SOFTWARE FOR PDA DON'T ASSUME THE MICROSD CARD WILL HOLD ONLY YOUR STUPID TOMTOM SOFTWARE and NOT OTHER SOFTWARE. MoNKEYS !

TomTom Navigator

Anyone has tried TomTom Navigator with the raphael?
How did u success?
I've installed it once, but had some problems that made it kinda useless, very bad gps lag and the signal level indicator was missing (IE. saying no signal).
EDIT: First post in this area, yay
TomTom installed just fine and worked fine yesterday, but now it can't find any satelite signals. I had the same problem on the Tilt. Guess I am giving up on TomTom.

HTC TP TomTom works just fine
Hi
Yes I'm using TomTom almost every day to/from work and it works just fine. TomTom had a major update a few weeks ago and after the update it works perfect. I bought the map-version on their website and had some struggle to install it on my phone, but after activate my SD-micro card like TomTom explained on their support site, it works just fine. It has fix on at least 5 satellites in less than 30 sec every time. But it's important to have a radio that gives you that the possibilities to have just that. There is good information to find the best radio in Raphael WiKi forum. TomTom has included traffic information as well, so I use any suggestion in order to avoid blocked streets.
Sincerely
Morten from Oslo, Norway

What version is it? I'm still using one the binary I found here in the forums as I thought there wasn't an official one working yet. (i.e. you have to use application binaries from phones with it preinstalled.)
Mine works fine as well though, but it's always nice to go "official" when you have bought the maps anyway....

Thanks GVR! Seems like that solved the lagging problem on my CDMA TP! Now TT7 is much faster in terms of updating my location.
And that was my only issue with the GPS here, I was able to get a fix with 9 satellites INSIDE a highrise in downtown in less then 5 seconds.
Awesome! I'm going to save that and hope someone can create a cab for those edits.

After a major update true TomTom Home 2.4 I've got version 7.910 (9185). That is the official version and I'm using maps for western and central Europe bought from TomTom. I started with the TomTom CAB application found here in the forum, since there wasn't any to download. But last week the program (CAB) in my HTC TP was updated automatically using Home 2.4. Even my maps are now automatically update once TomTom relizes updates.
I have a signed CAB version in my PC and HTC TP from TomTom now, that came with the update, but I do not know if it can be used by others. Maybe it is signed to be used only with my TomTom maps?
The CAB file is named navcore_7.910.9185_TT_SIGNED.htc_raphael.CAB
I will not upload anything until someone tells me wheter I am aloud to do so and that it will not be a violation in this forum.

Im afraid to say you will not get much help because these are maps that werent purchased or obtained legally, hence it falls under the Warez category. I kindly advice you to stop asking instead before you get banned. Have a nice day

Hi, I wasted an entire weekend trying to get TT VERSION 7 to work. I have downloaded TT_Nav_7.450.9028_repack3-vga-black and I have a Southern_Africa_v7.20.1862 map.
After installation, TT goes through the process of choosing lang, speaker etc.It then asks me to download a free map, Southern Africa is not located in the list.
Can somebody please please assist and tell me what I am doing wrong and How can I activate the Southern_Africa_v7.20.1862 map.
Is there a way where I can just use the Southern_Africa_v7.20.1862 map and not download any others? Another issue, How do I activate my GPS unit?

GPS - Am I on the right track?

Hi, I have just bought a second hand Touch Pro and love it, much more intuitive than my tytn.
I have got rid of the awful vodafone stuff and put on the latest hardspl, the standard rom, and the 1.12.25.19 radio and everything seems to be working well - that is apart from the GPS.
I have done some searching and the general consensus seems to be, to put on GPS Test by chartcross. I'm trying to run Tomtom Navigator 5 v5.210.
Is this the best thing to do and does Navigator 5 work with the touch pro?
Is there better software than Tomtom (I'm in the UK if it makes any difference)?
Thanks,
Barnaby
Route 66 maybe or navigon?
Wayfinder?
Time to pay up!
Tomtom will not allow activation on your new device unless you can prove your old one no longer works or is broken ! Their support is something close to useless. However Tomtom 7 does have more features than 5 or 6 and western europe maps are available to download at under £40... this still represents, in my opinion, good value. I can see your frustration (if you can prove your old device is gone tomtom will simply insist you need tt7 for the touchpro anyway!)
tomtom 7?!
Thanks for your reply, I can only see Navigator 6 on the Tomtom site and it's priced at just under £90! Where do I get version 7 and for £40?!
by the way, my old Tomtom software did authorise ok - must just be a fluke...
I could never get my TomTom5 work on the TP.
You can find TomTom7 by doing a search in this site, the executable is ok to distribute if I remember correct, but you still have to install TomTom home and buy the maps.
TomTom7 is way better than v.5 ...
Tomtom home
The v6 you see is a dvd install, v7 is only available via download (hence is cheaper). To get it you must go to the tom tom web site and download tomtom home 2 ( latest version is 2.5.2.60 , its free) onto your pc. Then connect your touchpro and you'll be able to download maps online, western europe was £39.95 last I looked.
ok, sooo...
Again, thanks for your replies.
Right I have downloaded and installed Tomtom7 with the maps. I have installed gps test and gps tweaks... still no satellite lock in gps test.
I found an extensive page on this site all about gps problems, where I learned about gps test, but I can't find it again!
Please help me or point me in the direction of the main gps problems page. I have searched and searched for it!
Thanks,
Barnaby
I have no GPS test, and radio .19 as well. I can get a fix with tomtom in under 1 minute. THE FIRST HOOKUP ON TOMTOM IS HORRIBLE!!! Just letting you know. I put it by a window and walked off. Probably took around 5 minutes. After that, I get a fix in less than 1 minute every time. Like I said, first time is the hardest. Good luck!!
Try using QuickGPS...
Helps me get locks almost immediatly!
I have both Tom Tomm and Garmin installed...
I simply prefer Garmin!
