Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2005 2:33 pm Post subject: TTN5 turns off battery charging |
|
|
Anyone else have this problem?
When I plug in the my iPaq 3870 and then plan a route, when I get to the route overview screen the battery charge light stops flashing. I mean no power going to the device at all. If I close TTN5 and look at the battery status screen the light starts to flash again and the battery appears to charge.
I initially thought this was something to do with the battery charge indicator on the route overview screen but resuming a journey after restarting TTN5 where the overview screen is not shown and the charge light will stop flashing again of its own accord, usually within about 2 minutes of starting TomTom.
This effectively cuts power to the device and sooner or later the battery will run completely flat and we all know what happens then..... |

I have seen this on my x50v - I thought it was my car charger unable to cope with bluetooth/wifi and the dell running at 624mhz with the back light full on - but I may have also had this when I set it to power save (208mhz).
Is this another bug? _________________ -----------------------------------------------------------

I think it may be, this one possibly more serious than any other. _________________ iPaq 3870

I am having similar problems with my EMTAC GPS Sleave/Jacket which works very well with TTN3 and TTN2 before it.
In fact the charging light goes out whilst TT is trying to obtain a sattelite fix which it doesn't really achieve. I believe the problem may lie with their GPS 'driver' which is now integrated within the programme. The system as such is not useable.
I have in fact reinstalled TTN3 and hope that TT will provide a fix shortly _________________ John

I think your Emtac Jacket not obtaining a fix is a separate issue. In fact I have had so many problems with my Navman 3400 Jacket that I have abandoned it and replaced it with the Arkon mount seen in my sig.
This works flawlessly and gets a fix before TTN5 is started as it is powered by the lighter socket. I also get at least 40% more sats in view compared with the Navman jacket.
The charging problem happens when using either. I think 'jacket' and CF card problems experienced by myself and other users of this forum is because TTN5 only officially supports Bluetooth and serial connected devices. _________________ iPaq 3870

Thanks for clearing that point.
