Camera warnings question (title edited)

Been using on iphone for a few weeks and whilst its generally great cannot rely on getting camera warnings.
I have been using tomtom for several years but much prefer iphone if only it could be relied on.

In my local town only one out of 5 cameras gives warnings.

None of the following give audio or visual warning(red banner)
pMOBILE:68467@30
pMOBILE:77627
MOBILE:6792p
pMOBILE:79634

This one has audio and visual warning
MOBILE:6784

All camera alerts are set to on.

Also not alerting to a few cameras on my journies out of my local area.

I note others have posted similar problems. This is spoiling a brilliant app.

Is this using the TomTom iPhone application or something else? - Mike

Assuming this is CamerAlert (we have a CamerAlert forum) then do these cameras appear on the map when you approach them?

I've edited your post to clarify that most of the cameras you have issue with are pMobiles. Have you enabled the alert for pMobiles? in Settings --> Sound Warnings?

Just running your app. Not installed tomtom or anything else.

I've just edited my reply, can you answer if you have pMobiles set up for alerts AND if they appear on the map as you pass them?

The cameras do appear on the map and all alerts are turned.

Not got warnings for pending switched on.
Should I do this as these are not new cameras

Yup.

Edit Sorry, that's too blunt. PMobiles are unconfirmed - nobody has reported seeing them actually in action for many months. If you don't have pending switched on you won't get any warnings for pMobiles.

if the icons are greyscale as opposed to colour then they are pending cameras regardless of how new/old they are!
