Sorry if this has been posted, i have checked but found nothing.
I run Navigator 5 on my XDA2i (i know 6 is out but im happy with 5, limited knowledge......am blonde lol)
However, for some reason today when i came to start TomTom, it just freezes up altogether and i have to soft reset (see blondes do listen lol) to get my phone working again.
Any ideas whats caused this and if so any ideas on how to fix it? In plain language please.
Sorry to bother everyone with a silly question but i drive loads and TomToms my life

Hi Cheryl
This is a common problem for TomTom. Whenever you r using TomTom and if someone will try to call u or send u a txt message then mostly ur device will get hanged. That is the major issue in the fixation of the version 6 (Look in TickMark 4) http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=260&Category=2&Lid=1
I am also using TomTom 5.2, even though tried version 6 but the reason of unliking was I can not turn the device horizontally as I am using 5.2 horizontally in my car and I like this view, overall version 6 is not bad.
SOLUTION:
Its hard to advice but prior to start the TomTom put your device on "Flight Mode" means disable ur network coverage and then doesn't matter how long u travel TomTom is not gonna get stuck, but u might missed lots of calls, anyway personally I think during driving specially on a motorway, incoming txt & calls can be highly hazardous.
GoodLuck
