Hi,
I have installed TomTom 7 on my XDA Orbit running Windows Mobile 6.1 and have found it to be incredibly slow in tracking your location on the directions screen.
Has anyone else seen this? Is there a way to increase the performance as it is unusable as it is - I have reverted to TT6 which runs fine.

Its ok on mine, am using tomtom7 (7.450(9028)) with map uk &IE 1409 v675.1409 and running O2 ROM
Tomtom 7
Hi all,
I'm new to this forum so please be gentle!!
I was wondering where Tomtom7 can be bought and whether anyone knows if it has the lane support functionality, where it tells you which lane to get into. I've looked on the TT site and it only appears to be available for the Diamond. I have an XDA Orbit 2.
Thanks
Jon

TT7 can not be bought, and it doesn't have advanced lane guidance either.
But it does support current maps, as opposed to TT6 for PDA, which only supports map from sometime before WW One.

Hey!
Did you find any solution for your problem? I experienced the exact same thing yesterday....even tt6 seems slow but not near as close as tt7....
iGo 8 runs fine.
I'm also running WM 6.1
,Olle
it might be that you just dont have enough free RAM to run it properly
Most people have got it running OK so that would suggest its something specific to your devices
Try a reset of your device (to make sure all programs are closed fully) and see how much free program memory etc you've got
Are you also running M2D or something else memory/processor hungry ?

Hey!
I have tried two different roms "Black & Blue 5.0" and "Tom-Oops Black". I have shut down all the today thingies and made sure that not other programs are running, then installed tomtom and even tomtom6 is really slow...not as slow as tomtom7 but I would say very near unusable....iGo on the other hand works allright....can anyone confirm that a specific rom works good with tomtom7, please also include your Radio version...
,Olle
Found my own problem....
I had added a lot of own POI's, these were all set to be shown on the map, when deactivated tomtom7 runs as smoothly as tomtom6!

Hello everyone, i'm looking for and app who could do what spotlight for iphone do. the default searh of 6.5 is limited resco one too.
So i would like to know if winmo have equivalent of spotlight. For those who oesn't know, spotlight is a powerful search fonction, very fast which allow you to search every kind of files in your phone, it can be your contacts, mail, appointements... but also MP3, videos, games... EVERYTHING.
how it works ? you enter the word of what you want and it did the rest.
hope winmo have this kind of soft, it very useful, according to me
thx
Windows mobile already has a search function which works fine for me when i used it. i keep my files organised using this amazing microsoft technology called "folders". Im not so sure about the name but it works fine for me.
Seriously, the iphone has spotlight because it needs it. Winmo gives you everything you need to stay organised and then also gives you a search app.

Wow Man !
Folders seems to be an extreme application ? Can you make a CAB of it ? Do I need to install SDKCerts before ?
Hahaha

Are you sure? i mean this is a heavy duty application. I suggest you read up on them here and if you think you can handle it, ill post up a .cab, but make sure you disable touch flow before you install it.
btw: i realised that ive probably killed the joke by now...
any updates on something like this
"The other day Java made a version of JavaFX available for download for Windows Mobile Phone devices. JavaFX is intended to bring more rich media content to phones and since JavaFX can be cross platform (PC, Mac, BlackBerry…everything except the iPhone since Apple may never approve of it) developers can make applications one time and they can run on these platforms natively. Windows is the first mobile platform to have a release of JavaFX. The package contains 4 demos. A Twitter client, a simple calculator, a photo viewer and a little application where your finger makes a ripple and the fish follows it.
So for the first time developer’s can start to work on developing JavaFX applications and have a real mobile testing platform. Of course you can run any other Java app through this as well (I tested it with Google Maps java and it ran fine). The download and additional release notes are located here."

whats the diff between JavaFX and regular Java
couldnt they just update the original???

Well, I test it out and in fact is the best java machine that I test it until now for ppc!!!
Downloaded Opera mini and worked like a charm. Even asked me where I wanted to install opera mini, memory internal or external...

ooh, thanks for information! need to take a closer look then.
(if only bt work with that too...you know what i mean ..).
upd: hmm it can be SLOW as hell and seems to be typical vga soft, although it handles launched application resolutions quite well(320x240 is 320x240)..

Hmm, I don't know. JavaFX is much, much, much slower with Opera Mini on my Touch Pro than jbed. The font seems a little nicer, though. I think it uses antialiasing.
Interesting app.
Worked fine but....
Could not install file from memory, only by internet, that worked.
Installed Gmail as test. Continuallyl, said there was no internet connection with Wifi and Active sync.
After fiddling with it. I decided to remove JavaFx. After that many strange things happened.
Had to hard reset. :-(
Wm6.1

I have removed JavaFX, too, but everything went fine, no hard reset needed. WM6.1, too.
It works on a Touch HD. But for some reason, its slow. Esp. the fish app.
How is the Twitter App? Just asking as I tend to shy away from java apps on my device because I never really had much success with them running properly.
I'm now running Opera Mini in JavaFX rather than JBED. I like it better.
Does anyone know the correct syntax to make a shortcut to automatically run Opera Mini (rather than start JavaFX and choose Opera Mini from the list)?
With JBED it was "\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_

When I click on New application -> From storage, I'm always asked to enter a URL, I can't seem to choose any file. Have it installed on Blackstone latest stock ROM. Any hint ?

The "from storage" option doesn't seem to work, but it's easy enough to just install java apps in the usual manner, as JavaFX makes itself the default JVM. Click on the JAD file in a web browser and it'll install fine.
sun java network problem
so I cooked the sun java package on my tp2.. installed opera mini... but I can't get the network. if you are running opera mini, maybe you have some provisioning files that are nessesary to connect to the internet?? OM just says that there is no network connection.
JavaFx.exe parameters
I see that you still don't know how to run this emulator from a shortcut and run in it any midlet.
But maybe someone haven't posted it yet but knows it. I hope someone will write what is the missing parameter
Among these, which one works flawlessly on the Hd Mini?
Pocket Mechanic, Sktools, Memmaid
I've heard that Pocket mechanic does not work on the T5555 while Memmaid seems to fit the screen but have no feedback regarding the Sktools, even the lite version.
Thanks

Ok, I did not know that, but don't you think you would gain more stability and speed installing a tool for registry cleanup?

I don't think so.
I prefer limiting the hacking things.
I had a Diamond for 2 years, and effectively I used a lot of tools to manage ram and registry, but with poor success. A the end I always had to make a soft reset. In the HD mini the included task manager seems enough. I used a full week without turning off and it is still very stable.

Completely agree with moscard.
I used my old smartphone as a computer for one year and I always tried to keep it clean and optimized, but it was more obessive than useful. Now I'm using my Mini without taking care of anything and you know what, I'm enjoying it more.

Yeah, I agree, but I'm interested in such software tools cause when I bought my DEll X30 some years ago, it was completely unstable due to some bluetooth problems and I had to soft reset it several times per week. Then I installed Pocket Mechanic and that little program represented the best money I've ever spent on a pda cause I've been using my pda since then without other issues.
I used SkTools for cleaning temp files, optimising etc... I havent noticed it was of much help (yet)..
I use :-
ClearRAM to free up the ram
ArkSwitch for program control
MySoftReset to reboot the phone
SKTools does help to a certain degree.. previously on my touch pro2, startup was slow, and running 6.5 (1st update) was a pain in the butt.. but i still loved the phone.. the clean up and optimise features of the SKTools really did help alot...

You sure? In another topic someone said the pocket mechanic is not working properly on the Mini due to the strange screen resolution.
which version of pocket mechanic you have use and do you any problem with resolution?
Well, the version I'm using now is for my Dell x30. I'm just wondering how many softwares are fully compatible with the Mini before going for it! I will wait until the prices drop a bit. I'm sure they're gonna fall by at least 20% just before winter season, when the pressure of the upcoming Windows Phone 7 will be at its high.
I don't want to throw too much money in since I think a fair price for this product is around 270/300 euros and, furthermore, I don't want a device too new, since a fine tuning is always underway when new products are released. What I'm doing now is to figure out which software works and which not. On an Italian forum I've read there's a patch that allows qvga sofware to run on this device, I'll try to grab more info.
Thanks

Hi guys,
Please tell me where can i find igo with 480x800 support. I find 240x320 but it's small at this big screen thx
there is no igo for android which you can buy with a High Resolution, i also hope that there will come something, because i loved it on winmob, currently i use Navigon which runs very smooth and is good.
i like Copilot 8 better
having seen CoPilot on a friends device I'm thinking of converting to it, I'm a big iGo fan but CoPilot.......well its cool
Igo has maps update more often
but i like the Display of CoPilot better is more clean and natural
I used to be devoted to TomTom, but not anymore, after finding CoPilot
CoPilot has more maps updates than TomTom, but Igo beats them all in regards to frecuency of map updates.
I had Igo on my hd2, wasnt too keen on it. Didnt have my address listed in the maps. the house has been here since the 1950s. only a small gripe but it mattered to me. havent decided what to get for my galaxy yet.
Use Motonav. Looks pretty cool but slow menus. But has 80 % of the futures igo has. And uses the same maps as IGO.
Copilot has way to old maps.
Try out NDrive, it has the cleanest UI and is much faster than both Copilot and Mobile Maps.
Hey guys,
I have a problem with file data.gro on my Samsung Galaxy S. I have found the file that contains hi resolution for iGO. I run root explorer and want to copy data.gro to iGO folder.
I can delete the old one, but I can't copy/move the new one. Let us say I can, but the root explorer doesn't copy the file without any warning notification. I have root rights and folder data/data/com.navgo.igo.javaclient is in r/w mode.
any idea?
Thanks
So - which is the definitive GPS app for the i9000 ?
You mentioned like 4 or 5 apps
Thanks guys !
PS : I'm from Europe...

No need if you find motonav for NexusOne that has 800x480
SDCARD folder "Motonav" should be copied/installed in INTERNAL flash.
Maps are pretty small compared with TomTom or nDrive.

Google Maps Navigation. Search for Brut Mode, enables Navigation worldwide and you can also save maps in cache.
I used iGO 8 for windows mobile in my HTC Diamond. It was by far the best navigator I have used and I think I have tried them all.
iGO My Way for android which is only available for 480x320 is exactly the same product as Motonav. Same functionality,, small graphical differences. Unfortunately not even close to iGO 8 functionality. For me Navigon is the best one right now but after using iGO 8 everything is a disappointment...

If bought right now NDrive V10 with all Western Europe Maps for 20 Euros. Maybe it´s interesting for other people. Can be bought directly in the Ndrive app. Found this info in another german forum. Downloading now 2.6GB
Sygic maps 10 works perfectly with the sgs, althought several buttons could get bigger and startup is kinda slow.
