My iphone4s on ios 6 had to be sent back as it had an intermittent fault ( sometimes the speaker wouldn`t work).

A nice man brought me round a replacement and the phone was on ios5 and obviously I didn`t update.

I have put the speed cams back on but I don`t get spoken warnings. The .ogg files are there and visual warnings are ok.

Any thoughts as to where I am going wrong?

Thanks

You need to make sure the TomTom app isn't running in the background then use DiskAid to transfer the mapsettings.cfg file from the download on page one of this thread to the correct folder as identified in the first post in this thread, note the folder location for the mapsettings.cfg file is different to where you drop the ogg, ov2 and icon files - Mike

So, a new version of tomtom for iphone is out there (1.12)...
Lets see if this one is more custom POI friendly...

Whilst TomTom could rewrite their app to use a folder with public access for storing POI files they probably won't. The locking down of the file access isn't down to TomTom it was a decision taken by Apple when they released iOS6 so blame the hardware supplier in this instance - Mike

I did nothing special. Just done the same as I always do. Copied the files across to the relevant folders.

I'll update to the latest version of TomTom and give it another try this evening.

Note.. This is done on a 3GS. Haven't tried it on my new 5 yet.

3GS with TT1.12 now has locked folders. TT1.11 certainly didn't have.
I'll have a play later and see if it's the iOS or the TT app thats locked down the folders.

Ive tried diskaid and it wont allow me to transfer files to iphone 4.

I can only change mapsettings file.

I won't be getting rid of my iphone any time soon though because of this, I also still like tom tom and I am really disappointed that I can now no longer use pocket GPS files.

Its only pocket gps that are going to lose out with this. If I was not a lifetime member I would no longer be subscribing. No use in subscribing if I cant use the database. Shame really. I just hope that disc aid can sort out a work around.

More money for tom tom though. Many people will just start to buy their rubbish camera database.
