Dear Mr Donnellan,

We thank you for your feedback. We were thinking that you were experiencing freezing issues also when navigating.

We have run a test here with an XDA2i and ROM version 1.10 and it worked fine when updating traffic information. We will try with version 1.11.

Which GPS receiver are you using?

If you do not use the GPS and you only try to update traffic, is it working?

With best regards,

The TomTom Customer Support Team

Dear Tomtom, I have a major problem with my XDA2i and the TT5 Traffic updates...

Dear Tomtom,

Thankyou again for looking into this problem. You are correct in saying the Freeze problem is only when I try to download Traffic Updates. Using Tomtom on a day to day basis works fine using my Tomtom GPS Bluetooth Receiver.

The freeze problem only occurs when downloading Traffic Updates or even Weather. However; I have managed to get it to work now and then! 97% on the time it freezes.

I have tried to download traffic with the following setups:-

1) GPS Bluetooth Receiver Connected to Tomtom with a satelite fix with a stationary vehicle.

2) GPS Bluetooth Receiver Connected to Tomtom without a satelite fix.

3) GPS Bluetooth Receiver Not Connected to Tomtom without a satelite fix.

4) GPS Bluetooth Receiver Connected to Tomtom with a satelite fix whilst driving.

5) GPS Bluetooth Receiver Connected to Tomtom with a satelite fix with a stationary vehicle and demonstration mode running.

All cause it to freeze! sometimes it will work but 97% time doesn't.

When it Freezes this is what happens, The Symbol for Downloading the Updates shows an arrow and flickers whilst the downloading is being carried out, when it freezes the arrow stops moving, I think it stops at the point it tries to use the data. It seems to download the data but can't finalize the data to be used.

However please note the following setups:-

1) GPS Bluetooth Receiver Connected to Tomtom with a satelite fix with a stationary vehicle and wireless WiFi connected to the internet.

2) GPS Bluetooth Receiver Not Connected to Tomtom without a satelite fix with a stationary vehicle and wireless WiFi connected to the internet.

3) GPS Bluetooth Receiver Not Connected to Tomtom without a satelite fix docked to activesync on my PC connected to the internet.

All work every time! The problem here is I don't drive with a PC or Wireless connection to Wifi so Traffic Updates cannot be updated on route when I need them.

The GPS Reciever I have is:-

Tomtom Bluetooth GPS Receiver (Mark 1, a little silver rectangle shaped box)

Hope that answers your question and helps you resolve this problem.

Please let me know which SD card you have tested this out on, you say yours works, I am interested in your setup. Why would yours work yet many many other XDA2i 's don't? Maybe we could compare XDA2i 's. Compare the following:-

SD card

ROM Version with Radio version etc.

Where you installed your Tomtom Program, all on the SD card or only maps on the SD card?

Corporate Install or Personal install?

Kind Regards
