TomTom freezes on wince 5.0 PNA

Postby huggy » Wed Apr 13, 2011 10:53 am

Hi all
I have a foehn and hirsch 4.3 wide screen sat nav running wince 5.0
I have loaded tomtom 7.910.9185 with uk map United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland_865_3262 onto an SD card I get a signal no problem but when driving along after selecting my route the PNA freezes after about 3 minutes.

Any ideas how to fix

thanks in advance

Yes, voice directions and movement along map are fine but it always gets to about the same location then just stops working and the screen freezes.
I removed the menu system from my PNA. Dont know if this may be the problem as tomtom worked fine before. All other programmes work ok (primo, navigon sygic etc)

Have you tried Navcore 7.450?

You will need to repatch your map.

If that doesn't work you may need to edit some registry entries concerning power management.

Thanks

I will give this a try and let you know how I get on.

I had tried the fix with registry changes but this resulted on the PNA shutting down after abiout 5 minutes as if it had went into sleep mode. But then maybe I made an error in the settings. May have to try again. But will definately let you know how I get on. Thanks again

I've put Tomtom on far too many devices and the only ones that come back to me are the ones with 7.9XX on them :scratch_one-s_head_

Still the same problem with version 7.450.

I tried the mortscript set up but that just closes my PNA down then I have to soft reset then it closes down again after 5 minutes. Maybe I will just have to stick with primo. Strange how I never had a problem with tomtom when I used the menu system with registry changes

Post the registry changes here because it sounds like they're setting the device to suspend after 5 minutes of no activity.

Sorry dont know how to post registry changes but was wondering if this is where im going wrong.
I added 2 files to the root of my mobilenavigator folder these were called TT7 Navigator.exe and TT7 Navigator.mscr. The TT7 Navigator.mscr file had the following in it
Errorlevel ("off")

RegWriteDword ("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\UserIdle","Default",0)
RegDeleteKey ("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\ActivityTimers", True, True)
RegDeleteKey ("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\SystemIdle", True, True)
RegDeleteKey ("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\UserIdle", True, True)
RegDeleteKey ("HKLM", "System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts", True, True)

sleep 100

RunWait ("\StorageCard\TomTom Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe")

Exit

I changed the the runwait line to ("\SDMMC\mobilenavigator\mobilenavigator.exe")

I changed the names of the 2 files I added from TT7 Navigator.exe and TT7 Navigator.mscr to mobilenavigator.exe and mobilenavigator.mscr

My original mobilenavigator.exe I changed to mobilenavigator1.exe.

It is after I have done this that my PNA shuts down after 5 minutes but when I revert it back it was ok except tomtom freezes after a couple of minutes. Hope this makes sense
thanks agan

Have you tried running Tomtom directly? I've put Tomtom on a F&H device before, I didn't have to use any scripts, From (my crap) memory this device keeps it's registry so we may need to recover the original entries to fix it, I think they should be similar if not the same as my "MobileNavigator" device. I'll post them later if needed.

I'm going to be doing another one of these soon, (Poss weekend if owner gets a SD card) so i'll get hold of the correct power registry settings and post them here, I did one before and it's still ok now so i think something's been changed on yours, Did you try a different SD card just in case there's a problem with it?
