TomTom(s): go live 1000

Hi all
Can you help?

I purchased a 750 go live march last year and sometime after that an update enabled my device to auto turn on with ignition but after update on 19/02/2012 that has now stopped and tomtom are unable to tell me why.

Also after update I now have the remaining time to destination showing in status bar which I did not have before and do not want as I am capable to work that out from the present time and estimated time of arrival, there is nothing in status bar menu to enable to turn remainig time off.

One final thing I do not use tomtom cameras but do have live sevices and wish to turn off the flashing red box on left of status bar if i break the speed limit, i know how to turn of the audible warning but not the flashing box, tomtom said if i uninstall tomtom cameras it will stop but as i said i dont have them installed as i use a third party.

Any Ideas???

Mick

The updated application removed the auto-on from Nav2 devices.

Are you sure under status bar preferences there isn't an arrow right to a second screen where you can uncheck remaining distance? Should be (or on first screen).

Don't think you can turn off the flashing warning, not sure.

For the first issue, I'm confused... None of my NAV 2 TomTom's ever had auto switch-on. Autoswitch off, yes, but not on.

My Go950 which is still on v9.061 doesn't have it.

Second issue:
TT have changed the options, so some items are ALWAYS shown and only the others as you listed are shown in "status bar options".
It looks like remaining time is one of the "always on" ones.

Third issue:

AFAIK the speed display ALWAYS turned red when you were speeding, but it used to be just a red bar behind the numbers themselves. Now the whole panel turns red.

If you don't like those changes I'm afraid all you can do is complain to TomTom about them or revert to a previous software version.

I have exactly the same issue with my GO 750 Live.

Auto On became a new and welcome feature last year following an update. But last week (20/2/12) when I performed another update, the feature disappeared!

What possible reason could TomTom have for removing such a useful feature?

Is there any way I can roll back to the earlier software version? I would happily never update my TomTom ever again, if I thought I could keep my Auto On feature.

Easily, if you made a backup at any time before you let Home update it. Just restore the backup.

If not, it's usually do-able, just more fiddly. There's plenty of instructions on how to revert back to earlier software scattered around the forum, but we'd need to know what version you were on before, in order to point you to a download of the right software build.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice, according to the info on my Tomtom I think I'm using 9.401.862279 updated 15/2/2012 (screenshot attached). I want to go back to the version I updated to last year around September/November time.

And no, I don't have a backup, because Home always seems to try and do the update as soon as I plug in the Tomtom. Rather than let me backup first.

I know that I should have cancelled the update and backed up first. Hindsight eh.

I'll be more careful in future - I promise.

I'm guessing that 9.058 is the one you were running before:

BACK UP your unit first using this procedure >>> http://www.tomtomforums.com/t17864-h...r-restore.html

Download this file >>> http://download.tomtom.com/sweet/nav...re-GO_LIVE.cab
and extract it to your unit using WinRAR so that all of the path information stays intact. This will overwrite existing files in the process of extraction.

That should bring you back to 9.058.

Thanks canderson!

@ManicMoov it looks from your reply that you were hoping to do your backup with Home. Don't!
See canderson's first paragraph.

Thanks Andy_P, that's good advise.

I backed up (manually), copied over the contents of the .cab file suggested by canderson, and restarted. It launches OK, and I can tell by the speed icon that it is running the older system. Indeed the status screen says it's now running 9.058.568435.999 (new screenshot).

But alas, it will still not auto power on.

Was there perhaps a slightly more recent update (around the end of November) that I could download from somewhere?

Thanks for all your help and advise so far.
