TomTom Rider 400 gets instable and slow overtime.

[TeeCat]

Hi,

My Rider 400 is up to date with latest updates. But already for a couple of years it is getting slower. Now I tried a factory reset and after that it responded like it was new out of the box (not fast, but really acceptable).

But it took just a week of using it and everything was back as slow as can be. Next to that (and not acceptable for me) it now is also instable. Screen is hanging/turns black sometimes and at that moment the only thing you can do, is wait (for sometimes more than 15 minutes) or reset it. After a factory reset everything is ok again.

Seems to me that after updates it gets slower overtime (resulting in instability at the end).
Do you have the same experience with the TomTom 400 and can you advice what to do (next to repeating factory resets)?

Hi
have you tried to restore the device software?

Thanks for your reply!

No I didn't. What is the difference between "restoring" and factory reset? And how to "restore" the software?

Not yet, will try it in the spring, because during winter I'm not using my bike/TomTom. Otherwise, I won't be able to test it anyway.
