|
|
I'm using TT with Traffic on an I-Mate / XDA II and generally it works well but I've expereinced the following and wondered if anyone had any suggestions on how to fix them.
I start a journey with TT set to connect to the traffic site every 10 minutes, if during the journey I loose the GPRS connection ie travelling through a tunnel, the next time it tries to connect (after leaving the tunnel) I get a connection error, unable to connect. If I then manually tell TT to connect it connects and from that point on its OK.
Also when ever I connect the XDA II to my wired GPS receiver for some unkown reason it tries to connect to my WAP connection. It only happens when I connect first time, if I cancel the connection all is OK.
One final point it would be nice if traffic alerts were spoken instead of the single tone, something like 'Traffic congestion ahead'... |

Have you tried updating to version 3.04T, this version addressed alot of the connection problems. I am running TT3 traffic on an XDA2 with Bluetooth receiver and found that the GPRS connection kept dropping out until I upgraded. Now I don't experience any problems. |

I'm currently using V3.05T, and have my XDA II running the latest firmware V1.72. It's nothing major just a little annoying. |

This might be the same as snother issue I get with a 2210 and a 6310i. If I'm on a call and traffic tries to connect, obviously I get the "cannot connect" message. But then the next time it tries, sometimes it won't reconnect.
I've found if I hit the red hang-u button on the phone, the next time it retries it redials the GPRS and all is fine. Not exactly the same, but I thought it might give you some clues... |

Yep that sounds exactly the same problem, TT Traffic is unable to re establish a connection after a failed connection. A manual request is needed and then all is OK. |

I have problems if my 2210 loses BT connection to my 6600 (ie it goes out of range for a short time) and then I don't seem to be able to get the BT connection to work (when back in range).... even though it is still saying it is connected? _________________ TomTom 6 - SPV M5000 and WM6
