If you having "fun" with Navcore 9,058 and access to the Live services I would suggest you roll back to the last version 8 Navcore they released for the device as at least that works bar a server outage - Mike

Support got back to me with instructions. Involved going back to factory settings, rebooting, clearing flash memory. Still got error 1001. Support sending packaging for SIM card replacement.

Tried going back to NC8 ... HD Traffic bar appears on right hand side ... but can't connect to the server. Very surprised ... unless the SIM card did actually go faulty on Friday ...

You dont need to send the Unit to the Support. Just discharge the Battery (Turn On x-times...) and and leave the Unit over Night.....
Restart the Unit next day with Power plugged in.... Taddaaaa! Everything is ok (really no Joke!)

Welcome Cloedu.... Smile

Your advice seems a little general... What exact issue do you think it cures?

I can't really see how a SIM card and software incompatibility issue that has affected everybody in the UK can be cured so easily!

This will fix the problem with the Error 1001!
Simply give it a try and you will see, it really works....

If the battery empty text appears, boot the unit until the screen remains black and nothing happens....

I had the same problem and fixed it this way.

I just got back from two weeks in Mallorca where v9.058 had worked more reliably to navigate than v8.371 does in the UK but I think mainly because the only Live Services available are Google Live Search and Weather and there is no HD Traffic in Spain. My 940 was consistently able to connect to the Live Services ok in Spain and I did not get any error messages about the Live services being unavailable. However I could not find a single journey I took (plenty of over 50km) where Eco Route produced a different result from Fasest Route although Teleatlas does have a surprising amount of the now very dilapidated unsurfaced road network in Mallorca on its database (some of which is totally unpassable by anything other than a very heavy duty four wheel drive due to the amount of heavy rocks and/or deep rutted earth potholes) and I was on several occasions asked if I wanted to use an unpaved road where doing so would have severely invalidated my insurance and/or probably also left me carless.

I then returned to the UK and went straight on a trip from London down to Dorset and HD Traffic functioned and warned me of HD Traffic related delays on the M25 as well as the usual IQ routes delay for the time of day. I continued to be able to use Live Services in Dorset including getting several weather forecasts for My Location over the weekend. But then late yesterday afternoon I found myself at Lulworth Cove and when I tried to do a weather forecast for My Location I was repeatedly told that my SIM card was faulty with a certain error number and the nasty reddish brown error screen. A normal power cycle of the unit did no good in curing the problem and nor did a soft reboot by holding down the On/Off key for 15 seconds. However due to the nature of the fault and the fact that it was persistent at that particular location but had not happened elsewhere I was pretty sure the problem was location specific and related to the configuration of that particular GPRS transmitter so I drove a few miles up the road to Wareham and what do you know - my SIM card was now no longer defective and I could get a 5 day weather forecast for My Location with no problem at all. Unfortunately I didn't record the number of the error shown at Lulworth Cove about my supposedly defective SIM card because the error did not persist once I left there.

So to anyone who TomTom Support is trying to talk in to sending back their units because they are getting a defective SIM card error screen I would urge you not to do it and to try a soft reboot and then using your unit at a different mobile transmitter mast location. If that fails then revert to v8.371 but whatever you do don't return your perfectly adequately functioning x40 hardware to TomTom when there is nothing wrong with it but everything possible wrong with TomTom's rubbish Navcores for the x40 series that have never worked properly since the units were first put on the market. Evil or Very Mad

It could just be me, but I think another little thing is missing in 9.058. When HD Traffic updated on 8.371 it was accompanied by an audible "beep beep" but on 9.058 it is silent. Is there an option to bring back the audible warning?

I had the error 1001. Sent it off to TomTom for a new sim card on Monday 11th October. Got a brand new 740 back at 09:30 on Wednesday 13th October. It is impossible to get a better turnaround than that. Everything now working great.
