New problem with TT Home 2.0

killarachris · Occasional Visitor Joined: Dec 08, 2006 Posts: 22

Hallelujah!!! - 3rd unit, multiple different downloads ov different versions of Home but (fingers very firmly crossed) "seem" to have a fully functioning unit that plays nice with Home (as long as I don't try using the Mac version of Home)

Rattly speaker on full vol - I can live with that as a compromise of form over function. Now perhaps I can use it to guide me places!!

TT Home v 2.0.0.370 navcore_7.01.8290.gox20

Connect the device to the PC and perform a full back up , then start the TomTom Home application which should automatically look for updates and download them as required, (or click the "Check fo updates" within Home), then check the box next to the new application in the middle page of TomTom Home on the PC and click the "Install to TomTom" button - Mike

I have the same problem.

When Home 2 installed I unstalled the previous version (as recommended as part of the set-up), which also seems to have deleted my previous back-ups.......so I dont have navcore 7.00.8286 files.

Any ideas ?

Hi Guys and girls,

I have just bought a new TT720 I connected it all up to the computer and turned it on, it automatically downloaded home 2

At first everything worked fine, but then something happened and now I
get the same error and then the program closes.

Please as I am a novice to this can someone tell me what I need to do to get the TT to work with Home and what versions I need and where do I get them. I am running vista so I cant access the disc that comes with the TT.

Thanks in advance.......

After all the aggro I have had with the various versions of TT Home over the last few days, and then finding that the hard drive & hands-free speaker on my 720 was shot the device has gone back for a replacement. Obviously when I get the new unit I will want to do a nice new clean install of TT Home (after I first do a full Windows Explorer backup !). But I am a bit concerned that there will be some nasty bits and pieces left over from TT Home so I (rather optimistically) sent this to TT:

I have just had to send my 720 back for replacement due to various faults. Like many others (see the forums on PocketGPS World) I had issues using TT Home 2.0 ( I suspect that this program caused a lot of the issues on the device). I have uninstalled TT Home 2.0 but I am concerned that because several updates were issued last week my system may have remnants of the various updates in the Registry and elsewhere, and when I get my replacement 720 this may cause further issues when I install TT Home again.
I note that the standard TT Home uninstaller does not do a complete uninstall (it does not remove the TomTom folders in My Documents, Application Data, Program Files etc. nor does it remove Registry data).
So can you supply me with a complete uninstaller which I can use to remove all traces of TT Home from my system to enable me to start 'clean' when I get my replacement 720 ?

It'll be interesting to see what they come back with .....

Has anyone had a reply from TT on the XULrunner.exe problem with Home2? It seems from the posts that not everybody is experiencing it - it's not an exclusive Vista problem either as it also happens on my XP machine.

I sent them an email, but haven't had a reply yet. I would have thought that, with all this noise on the subject, they would have issued a fix by now.

This 720 is my first TomTom and I must say, I'm somewhat disappointed at the number of bugs that folks are reporting. It clearly wasn't ready for prime time.

The GO720s which are giving problems are faulty and should be exchanged where you bought them. Here's what my supplier (Handtec) said to me last night ...

Ever since this update lark no one can hear me on a handsfree call, they say it sounds like a mossie is stuck in the speaker. I can hear the caller fine but even if I shout it does not make any difference.
The first time I tried to make a call (straight out of the box) it worked fine!

Also when trying to make a call yesterday the whole unit went into a fit! alternating bettween a beep and the dialtone.

As an alleged computer expert the symptoms displayed would indicate that the 7.010 version is at fault not the actual hardware. Also some of the previous posts would support this conclusion by having the fault introduced.

What I would like to know is anyone using a 720 with 7.010 and TT Home 2.0.0.370 with no problems? If so maybe there are some 'component' differences or other microcode issues?

I have a 720 which crashes in TomTom Home Operate My Device with:

Faulting application xulrunner.exe, version 1.9.0.0, faulting module navcore.7.010.8290.2.milan.dll, version 7010.8290.1.0, fault address 0x00159902.

The internal 'drive' (which I think is flash memory) is fine and all CHKDSK's OK and other than the TomTom home issue operates OK.

I don't use the Handsfree phone option so can't comment on that.

I would support the fact that TT need to get their act sorted out and test releases fully before causing so much grief for users and the suppliers.
