Changing Paired Phone

Mally1957 · Posted: Wed Jan 28, 2009 9:06 pm Post subject: Changing Paired Phone

Recently I changed my mobile phone that I have paired with my Tomtom One Version 1.
Now every time I connect my tomtom to computer to update camera database or update via home my tomtom reverts to the original phone along with other settings such as chosen voice, speaker volume and start up screen. Confused

Has anyone a solution to this.

Another issue I have found on changing phone (this is at least true for the Orange network) is that for your phone to connect to traffic you have to disable the orange safeguard lock to enable adult content, why Orange should think connecting to the Tomtom servers warrants an adult content lock I dont know.

I don't know if the one is the same as the 720, but I had to delete the old phone before I could pair my new one.

It keeps happening to me Andy. I have decided that it's the way I connect, probably. My 920 has an SDHC card as well as internal, so when I plug in, Home fires up and immediately asks me to select internal or external. I ignore it and carry on doing my thing with Win Explorer. When I've finished, I need to disconnect, so what I do is return to Home and, because it won't allow me to select Device Disconnect until I get rid of the Choose internal or external window, I select one of them, then go for Device Disconnect. It was once even worse than just losing settings. But I think I may have cracked it now (ooops - Murphy's Law!!). I think it may be when I select the internal rather than external. Problem is, I can't reliably duplicate the effect.

I'm sure I've read somewhere on this forum, that it is possible to have more than 1 phone paired with a TomTom.
I'm glad I read this thread as I was going to try my 3 contract phone instead of my PAYG orange.
Don't want to lose the 'pairing' altogether!

I understand you can have multiple pairings - one device, several phones, one phone, several devices.

BUT you can only have one pairing active at any time.

Yes, I think I was slightly confused. I think my device still had the old phone as being active. I deleted it anyway as I didn't need it paired any more, so I didn't look into deactivating it.
