GPS problem with Garmin Mobile XT V5.00.10wp.

[sexyman]

I downloaded Garmin Mobile XT V5.00.10wp from Garmin website and use Jetmouse keygen to get the serial no. The applicant is running fine with the power plug in but if the phone runs on the battery , it will turn the GPS off between 3-5minutes. I have this problem since with the old version.

Is anyone know why is that happen ? :p

In 3-5 minutes the phone do enter in standby mode and the built in GPS turn off.

A solution is a Car Charger for the phone or unmark in Start/System/Power > advanced section, the option: Turn off device if not used for x minutes (where x is a time in minutes)

In any way a Car Charger is a great idea because the GPS drains the battery quickly.

I do need it for the bush walking sometime where I cant bring the charger with me :p:p:p

Do you know why it is only happen with Garmin ? It is work fine with Tomtom and IGO8. I dont need to untick the external power option.

Go to Tools / Settings / Display / Backlight Override and check Always On box

I had the same problem this summer while I was driving I noticed from time to time that the Tytn II was turning off the battery from charging and the gps was shutting down. So I realized that the screen is always on, the battery is charging and the gps chip is always on so the phone has termal protection and it's turning off the charger and the gps because the device is overheated.
I hope this will solve yours problem.;)
