Tom Tom On XDA IIi Please !!! Help !!!

[FOZZER]

I tried looking on the forums but my head started to hurt can anyone help me with this

I have just helped my friend setup Tomtom 5 in their XDA IIi they are using the standard O2 rom only other app installed is sprite back up

They are using a wired reciever

Tom tom opens fine and aquires 7 or 8 sats no problems
Route is planned and off they go
But after a couple of mins it locks completely
No phone calls or texts sent or recieved to make it lock up, it just stops

I havent got a clue cos it worked fine for me on my M1000 and now on my Wizard, (i know about unticking recieve in coming beams)

At frist i thought it my be the reciever but surely it would'nt aquire the sats in the frist place

Anyone got any clues ??
My firend has bought this set up because of the way i priased everything up, and now it wont work and i fell like a muppet, please help so i can sort it out and look more brainer than I am :D

Had the same problem myself - after trawling thru posts here changed my sd card to a transcend x80 one and works fine now.
Apparently alot of slower cards won't work in the xda2i for tomtom.
My original card was a 512 sandisk (bog standard type) and when i tried tomtom it just locked up after a couple of minutes ( running tomtom5.21).
Since changing to the transcend x 80 its not locked at all.

I bought a 80x 1GB transcend card after looking at the forums...didn't stop it crashing.

My symptoms are:

1. Freezes at more or less defined/fixed regions in the journey - conclusion: the phone handoff singalling when moving from one cell to another is causing the sd card to stop working.

2. Taking the sd card out and immediately putting it back in will, most of the time, get the device back on track, without having to restart the xda or tomtom softwre (only works for a limited no. of tries...after that a rest is required).

My fix:

take the sim card out OR put the device into flight mode (if not using bluetooth).

Still worth getting a high speed 'quality; sd card (like a transcend) for your pda... it makes moving files back and forth much faster...and it's more stable when watching mini videos.

TT5 also crashes and closes after a while on my QTek S100. I tried to take out the sim card, but didn't work. Any more suggestions?
