Nokia N70 tomtom mobile 5 problem

I also had all the problems described with freezes every 5 or 7 minutes (seemingly at random). I was using Nokia N70, tomtom mobile 5 and the bt 338 bluetooth gps.

After installing tomtom 5.2 and removing all POI and all voices but one it is now FINALLY working perfectly. I've been testing and driving around for about 2,5 hours without a single freeze. The GPS is being found within less than 20 seconds every time. I let tomtom identify my GPS rather than the regular BT connection. Thanks for all you tips guys!!

Hi.....have recently upgraded from a nokia 6600 to N70, using tomtom 5. My N70 is connected to vodafone. The only problem I have encountered is that sometimes the N70 & GPS receiver do not 'pair' when tomtom is first started up. I have got around this problem by going to change prefs, then gps status. They then 'pair' within a few seconds. (Do not press configure button).
I have done several journey's over 2 hrs & have numerous POI's loaded / active, includung speed camera db. I also have tomtom traffic running on most occassions. So far so good.
Tomtom & all other s/w is loaded on a 1gb dv rsmmc. The N70 memory is kept as empty as possible.

Hi, I'm new to all this so if it's in the wrong post then I appologise.

I have been following these posts for a few months, being an N70 and TOMTOM owner. I have encountered all the problems that have been posted. I've got TOMTOM's origional BT unit, I've tried the "let tomtom do the pairing", upgrade to 5.2 (selecting N90) and none of it worked!!
In frustration I took my N70 to Nokia who said that a lot of units had bluetooth problems. They upgraded my firmware to v3.0546.2.3 and removed my Vodafone branding in the process, so I can use my works sim card (another network) in the phone also. Now TOMTOM is working fine. I can keep all my POI's on and still not a problem. It still has a few minor bugs, but hey, at least I don't have to pull over and reset my phone every 5 minutes.

Hope this helps.

Has anyone else tried upgrading there firmware on there N70??? If so, have they experienced anymore problems, like freezing. Does it cost to have the firmware upgraded?? I've only had my N70 for less than 1 month.

I have even re-formatted my rsmmc card and re-installing TomTom and still TomTom freezes. Are there any other suggestion people might have??? I only have 1 voice enabled and speed camera enabled!! I have tried disabling them both but with no joy!!!

Would appreciate any1's help!!!!!!!

Thanx

Thanks in advance

All I know is my N70 now accepts any network sim. It costs nothing to get your firmware upgraded. Join CLUB NOKIA and tell them you have problems. They'll give you your nearest service center (DON'T USE CARPHHONE WAREHOUSE). I've had a lot less problems since the upgrade. It's not perfect, but a lot better.

Hi Penfold,

It seems to me that it is a bluetooth problem. I am now on my 3rd N70 with the same firmware as you, but my phone is working fine with TOMTOM. I've had all the same problems with the previous phones. My only problem now is I can't send files larger than 40kb (this is not a network issue). Contact CLUB NOKIA!!
It's free and eventually you will get TOMTOM working again.

Hi .. interesting reading all this .. i'm gutted cos I just sacked a 6680 which also had a dodgy tomtom issue ( had to go through the find GPS within TT) hoping that my spanking new N70 would fly !

There is a lot of speak about the BT338 and BT77 . I have neither and sadly suffer the same issue( socket BTGPS 22a43b) . I see that this thread was started in Nov!! and still no fix .. i guess from this that there probably never will be unless some serious moaning to TT happens ( but then again they are whiter than white and its a phone problem not THIER sw!!)

The problem is definitely an interface issue between the nokia SW and TT.

I think as suggested before a memory or buffer problem.

If you are suffering a problem get everything up and running but instead of the map ,take a look at the GPS status ... my experience is that certain channels appear to drop out (go from blue to grey ) even though the signal strength is high( above the little line 85% the way up the strength bar). Here i am guessing that the information coming in cannot be processed by either TT or N70 leading to a buffer overrun which either TT or N70 cannot handle

It might be worth pointing out that there are only 3 nokias with V8.0 symbian ( 6630 ,6680 N70) as i said in the first line of this post ... that has problems too!!

Also i read about when installing TT use the N90 to load it .. the N90 is V8.1 symbian .. i wonder why ?!?!?!?

At the time of writing this i have deleted pairings and let TT take over .. so far so good ( 15 minutes !!! wooohoooo)
