Welcome to the forum Mike, there is a way to roll your device back to the version 8,010 software assuming you have not updated your maps to v815.
The new application is unable to read the old MapSettings.cfg file so it deletes it and creates a new one, this is where all your POI warnings are stored so it loses all the settings! Favourites will have also gone if you use them.
You really need to back up your device to avoid getting into the current situation where you cannot simply roll the device back using a back up - for now you can still download the Navcore 8,010 release and manually install it by following the instructions I posted last week in This Thread - BACK IT UP BEFORE DOING THIS THOUGH
And once it is working running 8,010 BACK IT UP AGAIN, use Windows Explorer for your backups as it is far more reliable than the TT Home software - Mike |

Thanks very much for the advice Mike - I'll give it a go.
I did back up my device - but unfortunately before I realised I had a problem. Hence I ended up with a back-up of the dodgy software.
I shan't be so hasty in future!

Only the PAID plus services maybe....all the free ones work, ie weather, QFix and Buddies. |

OK - if you need navigation instructions via FM then you cannoy use 8.300 or any of the x40 Navcores as TT have now disabled that function going forward.
This means that you will have to use Navcore 8.010 on a 920 - this will give you IQ routes and FM, (but not IQ2 routes as it is not compatible with maps after 8.10).
So, firstly download 8.010 for the 920 from http://download.tomtom.com/sweet/navcore/navcore_8.010.9369.gox20.cab
Use WINRAR and with your TT connected, but HOME closed, right click on the CAB file you have just downloaded and select Winrar - Extract Files .... and then select the drive letter for your TT. When it prompts you about overwriting files choose yes to all.
When that has finished from within My Computer right click on the drive letter for your TT and choose Eject. It will then reboot. When it asks you to connect to computer choose No and then power it off. Power back on again and then this time choose Yes when prompted to connect to computer.
At this point you have Navcore 8.010 installed but it will not work with the 8.15 maps. Start up Home and copy the 8.15 map to your computer then remove it from the device.
Now you need to install your previously downloaded or copied from your TT backup of your 8.10 map .
Go in to Add Maps Traffic Voices etc, choose Maps and it should be listed as being on your computer. Select this to reinstall it.
Job done.
Don't worry about the TTS7 Kate being on the device, shouldn't affect it. If you want to update your TTS6 Voices using Home, there is an update to Kate 6.93 available if your device shipped with 6.91 - it should be available through Add Maps Traffic Voices etc - Voices - Computer Voices (assuming you are usingthe latest version of HOME that came out this week) or previously it was in Add Maps Traffic Voices etc - Computer Voices
Hope this helps.

Andy,
Many Thanks for the in depth response, I am sure it will be helpful to many. Unfortunately I obviously mis-stated my needs.
All i need is music through FM. I am happy with instructions through the tomtom.
I have 8.3, and .15 maps and have now added the correct voice (v7) as described in a previous post. I am taking it out tonight, and will make a comprehensive list of any and all rpoblems I encounter. Thanks |

If your taking Kate out tonight, then remember to buy her dinner and a good wine, then she may be more cooperative 
Sorry i'm just in that kind of mood today

But be careful not to serve too much wine. That may make here start stuttering again...  |

Kate was great tonight on the face of it!
She didnt stutter which is an improvement BUT she NEVER said continue down this road for x miles which when I got the sat nav it did.. and She would say stuff like turn left in 800 yards, when the tomtom screen said 300 yards. How would I go about fixing these two voice(apparently the only two) problems?
Next in looking at the map, trying to relate the instructions to my location it was very difficult because the cursor for the car seemed to move incredibly slowly such that I would have already turned left before the cursor had moved around. Is this the refresh rate malarky? and how do i fix it?
The only other thing was I had my music broadcasting through fm. I would get a phone call, click accept then the music went off put I could not here the phoner. I then hung it up, and my music although playing wasnt coming through.. So i had to restart. Any suggestions there?
Thanks
Tom |

The map refresh problem is unfortunately another major bug in 8.300.
No cure for that until TT release a Navcore that works, other than running one of the x40 Navcores.
Some users have reported that the x30 8.300 cures the refresh rate problem - I personally didn't notice any difference between the 8.300 for the x20 and the x30.
As far as the FM not coming back on after phone calls and not being able to hear callers etc I have these bugs from day one on a 520, and have gone through 5 x20 devices which have all exhibited this behaviour at one point or another with every Navcore release.

Are you still running 8.300?
I will try mine now on HOME.

I didn't get offered Kate 7.1?
Do you have Kate v7 on the device before you got offered the update or Kate v6.9?

Yes i still have App8.3 and had the v7 Kate you linked.
I just connected this morning and it offered me Kate as a download, when i looked at more information its identified as v710. So i downloaded it.
Won't get chance to test her till tomorrow.
