Problems since installing Tom Tom 5.2

Hi people!

I've posted this elsewhere but got no response, so thought I'd try a new thread!

I have followed the instructions in the sticky above and managed to get tom tom navigator 5.21 working perfectly on my Vario. In fact, I didn't have to do the final part of the instructions to select the right com port, com 6 and 7 we're already available to select in tom tom.

Anyway, since installing my phone has been behaving oddly. It just rebooted itself for the first time yesterday, but even before that the phone has been acting strange. Also, occaisionally when coming out of hibernation tom tom starts all by itself! Worst of all though, I now have that famous alarm problem where alarms don't go off then all go off once i wake the phone up!

Has anyone experienced similar problems or got any advice? I haven't updated to the latest T-Mobile rom yet, would you recommend trying that? It would be a pain to install everything again, but do you think it would help?

I have the O2 Mini S version...I too have installed TTN5.2 but dont have any problems like you mention at all. I didn't however follow the sticky on this forum to do the install, my way was much much simpler. Drop me a pm if you want to know how I got it working maybe you could try it & see.

My Vario used to do this with TomTom occasionally.  I think it was when it resets the card slot it ends up triggering the auto run feature of the card.  If you did as I did, just copied the SD card to MiniSD and installed that way, you might have a Start.exe or something in the root of your MiniSD card.  I suspected this was being auto-run and causing TomTom to start up randomly.  I also think it ran when I soft reset the device or powered it on from completely off.

I renamed my Start.exe to Start.exe.norun.  Since then, TomTom hasn't started up unless I've asked it to.

Might help for you

Thanks. But I've already taken the slightly more extreme measure of just deleting the start.exe file! Seemed to do the trick though!

I should probably explain, I started this thread logged in with an old username by mistake!
