With 9.061 I can't find any option to deselect auto-switch on?

See Ian's post above... It looks like they've combined it with the 'auto-off' selection option now.

If you select auto-off in Battery Saving Preferences, that setting is lost every time the device reboots eg on disconnecting from Home. But it still has auto-on, so seems no way of changing it?

I've just checked this & as far as the settings go my 550 is the same, the setting is lost when disconnecting from home but it never the less continues to switch on & off with power connect / disconnect ie
Disconnect from home - disconnect from power 550 goes off
Power connect - 550 on
Power disconnect - 550 off etc etc
On checking the Power Saving setting the box is ticked but the 550 ignores it.
Untick the box & then tick it again & it then seems to function correctly as per the setting. I think the reboot screws up that command & it appears to be ticked when in fact it is not

Also found that the update scrambled third party POI icons and titles eg the National trust icon was captioned 'Kia Dealers England and Wales'. Removed the POIs and reloaded - fine now.
Edit: Should have said I noticed this in the 'Warn when near POI' section.

My 550 doesn't seem to have rebooted since upgrade - has TomTom fixed it or am I had a lucky week?

Don't fret it'll be back to normal with the next update & maybe with a few extra reboots to compensate  |

Of course that requires me to connect it to TomTom Home - which only happened because I had a full backup

I've had a couple of reboots, both times seemed linked to problem with connecting to Live services. Have also had to reboot once when voice guidance ceased to work.

it always seemed related to Live Services in ver 9.58 and I am sure it seemed to change how often when they altered the range of the Traffic (I wonder whether it was bad packets from server caused the process to crash)

ditto...
More worrylingly for me is that the TT now simply freezes for no apparent reason.
I've also noticed that it does appear to take a bit longer to get a GPS signal.
Still...it boots up on ignition now..which is nice!

The auto-on function seems independent of the battery saving option for 'shut down when disconnected from power'. I suspect that the device may shut down after a certain period of inactivity - I just haven't wanted to hang around to see it actually happen?
