Hello
I am new to this forum, so sorry if i posted this thread in the wrong place.
I have a htc tytn 2 locked to orange, and i was trying to install tomtom6 when i realised that i need to update the rom to do that.
could you plzz let me know how i can install tomtom or update the rom as the main reason i got the fone was to use the gps on it.
Also if it is possible to unlock the fone then plzz let me know.

thank you

You don't need to update the rom

I'm on orange uk and took the card (with tomtom installed) straight from my tytn into the tytn 2 and worked straight off... well after I told it to use the internal gps

tomtom version = 6.0.32
rom is out the box orange uk rom

I guess that what he is trying to do is to install the TomTom software that came with other Tytn2 devices. Orange UK took that software off the CD and and I think that they adjuested the ROM so that the TYTN2 TOMTOM software refuses to be installed. I tried installing the TOMTOM TYTN2 version but it gives an error message... however.. my TOMTOM 6 from TYTN is working fine with builtin GPS!

I also have Orange TyTn II, running TomTom 6.0.3.0

With the internal GPS, I find it takes quite a while to get a signal lock. I reckon it's a pretty low power device internally, and it suffers from problems in built up areas. Even with QUickGPS, it takes a good minute to lock on at the best of times.

I also have a Qstar 180 bluetooth GPS, based on a SIRF3 generation chipset. This is much better than the internal and generally I use this one

Also don't under any circumstances even open the External GPS application. Even opening this stopped by GPS working. Insane, so hopefully a fix will come out soon
