Does anyone have one of these and if so does the ******* thing reset itself everytime you disconnect it from the software?????

Doin my head in!!!!

 

when you say reset itself? do you mean power up once disconnected from the pc? if so yes, but it has already stored all of the info I put onto it

 

I mean when you choose 'disconnect device' from the menu at the top the TomTom seems to reboot itself and goes straight to the screen where you choose your language etc. I dont loose data eg speed cameras etc.... Just find it a pain in the backside as i have to set up langusages and reconnect phone etc.....

 

managed to get 'etc' in a few times there eh!!!!!

 

I would say it is a fault as mine doesn't do this

Might be worth contacting TomTom or taking it back to where you got it from and asking them sorry I can't be of more help

 

Only once, unless I am being blonde


Ok read it properly I was being blonde

3 times

 

Cool, thanks for your help....

 

No probs

 

I have the 910 and it does this. Its a known fault with the tom tom and i took my first unit back until i found the reset button. It only does it when you disconnect fom the computer. Most of the info I found said the 910 doesnt have a reset button but its does its just hidden away.

Hope this helps

 

Sorry, bit lost there... I have found the reset button and pressed it but still got the same problem. Does your still reset when you disconnect it ftom the computer????

 

i no longer connect it to the computer now i have installed speed cams. Not sure how to explain it any better really, first unit locked totally and as i didnt know there was a reset button i took it back to the shop. When the second unit locked i found out about the reset button and that sorted it out on that occasion only. Subsequent connections meant subsequent lock ups, each one fixed with reset. It is a know problem with these units.

 

I have had enough, this is the third one i have had and i seem to spend all my time resetting my preferences. I am going to take it back and buy some new speakers and a small sub with the money... i have an origin b2 that i am going to have to reinstall!!!!

 

I know what you mean, mine is fine now its not connected to my pc ever.. Just so you know, my Mio 269+ is perfect and about £200 cheaper than the 910.

 

Just bought a 910. Not sure if anyone else has gone from a Go / 300 / 500 / 700 to the new generation, but it takes a hell of a long time to boot up each time its turned on!

 

Download the Home application from TomTom support and it will allow you to update the sofware as this is a known fault.

(think you can download the update on its own aswell probably but the site is geared towards getting you to download Home to do it.
