Hi all,
I phoned TT CS this morning and spoke to a nice lady she told me that there wasn't any outstanding payments due, also my Live subs now run out 6/6/11 after an extra two weeks were added for the inconvenience I have had.
I have now reloaded 9.054 and sofar everything is working as it should, mind you I haven't been out on the road yet.

I raised a telephone fault with them yesterday about this and after a short discussion was asked for the infamous "System Information" and to do a "Factory Reset". I declined to do the reset again as I had already done this 3 times, with all the hassle of restoring all the settings.
I have provided them with the requested info, some photographs of what happens on the device, along with the "My Services" screens. I even pointed them at this forum and the two related threads...

What's been done? NOTHING! I guess you just got lucky. :-(

I phoned and got the standard reset my device, which I did, and guess what, this enabled me to enter all my settings again but did not fix the problem.

I updated to 9.054 - same issue - emailed TT "support", awaiting reply (no doubt saying to reset device) will follow their instructions and report back as things develop.

I am already considering getting an alternative motorbike sat nav. If this continues I'll be selling the car unit as well.

This has also happened to me (940 v8.371) and I have a support call in progress - it's nearing a conclusion as they escalated to 2nd level. I have all live services working but there's 2 different expiry dates.

Well I must have been lucky as it's working as it should after a trip from Hitchin to Ellesmere port, checked Google and weather before and at Ellesmere port. Still working now.

I love the way they say a "few". Both my own and my wifes devices, different models and different Navcore versions, are getting the same problem with Google. I make that 100% of users in my family.

Does the "solution" actually work, and what does "My Services" show afterwards?

Does anyone else get the red screen of death when using Google:

Something went wrong. If this
keeps on happening, please
check with TomTom HOME if
there is a newer application
version available

I am no longer being asked to subscribe so my weather is working, but Google still brings the red screen of death on a search.
