Agreed - Random.
Not getting any reply from TT on my open ticket either since the usual please provide your system info (which was already provided) and provide dates and times of when it is not working. |

Brings us back to my first question. Has anyone got one that works EVERY time? |

I thought it was the 940 he liked and the 950 he was much less enamoured (sp?) with...... _________________ David |

That may be the case, but the last time I asked he was having no problems with the Google Search, I think it was on the 950 |

950 is working fine every time I try it, but I guess its pot luck, the fact my device is working is small consolation for those of you with issues - Unless I can see the same fail its very difficult to try and see whats at fault other than suggest its the server at the other end - Mike |

It's not an issue Mike!! At the very least, it's a challenge, but in my humble opinion it's a problem, or maybe even a bluddy fault.
At present, most times when it works is when I'm just playing around testing. Most times when it doesn't work is when I actually need the information. _________________ Dennis

Well, funnily enough I was thinking of posting a reply last night but decided to wait until this morning. Mine IS working as it should and has been since about 8pm yesterday evening. I've tried it several times this morning and it hasn't failed. Hurrah! |

Yep - mine was working fine last night as well.
Just testing now but the damn battery is too flat for LIVE services to kick in - 10 minutes charging should sort that out. |

And all seems well this morning - half a dozen successful searches on the trot - let's see if it keeps this up. |

Well, well. Three searches downloaded just now in perhaps less time than a single one used to take - Near me, At Postcode and my third test search was Fish and Chips in London!!!
This is what I paid for. _________________ Dennis
