NEW: Application Update now for x30: v8.010

This board software is definitely getting long in the tooth now. Lots of others I know have updated to newer versions without loosing anything, so why not give here?

As a stopgap measure Dennis, are you able to edit the topic titles to make it more clear which is for what models?

shadamehr, I haven't seen anywhere near the reroute delay you mention. There may be a 2 or 3 seconds difference at the most, and I wouldn't even have noticed that if not for my 760 riding alongside. It certainly isn't going to cause me to miss a turn unless the next one is 100 ft in front of me. I can't even guarantee the issue exists at all. Today I saw a difference, but on a different stretch of highway tommorrow, it may not happen. I think it will take quite a few days to confirm there is any major issue. So far for me, not major.

Well, I dunno Andy - this one says "for x30" and the other says "for older devices" - I can't think how to amend that in either of them.

Maybe the answer is to stick an edit in the first post of each thread saying which it covers and to get out to the other one (link) if applicable? But I'm reluctant to do that with other people's posts - not like the usual "behave yourselves" sort of moderating.

I don't have much experience with board softwares - I steer clear of "the other" site because I can't get my head round how it works and I'm not a member of anywhere else. Y'know, for old people, we get to succeed with one and daren't look at anything else!

Thanks mate - pleased it's not ONLY me... Though to be fair, if it turned out it was only random users, that would cause me no distress, in that this is exactly the same as the "The voice you have selected is not available" bug that is a REAL as our lass's nagging is, but that too doesn't effect EVERYONE.

As it happens, a number of things have caused me to revert back to 8.002, for good reason. Much as I persisted with 7.221 on my old 720 as I found that much better. In so doing, I have come to realise a couple of things though...

Even 8.002 is slow before it decides ot re-route - but I compared this to my prior 7.221 x20, and yet you find that this is slow. Strange, but hey that the joys of life. Also, the power on time - others berated me for how FAST the new 8.010 made their x20 devices.

Aha, I think that's the key.

I don't have an x20 - mine is an x30. And it seems this is pretty slow to turn on regardless. So all I experienced were as REAL as our lass's nagging, rest assured.

But clearly, not necessarily happening to EVERYONE, just like other knwon bugs. Thanks for confirming though.

I have gone back to 8.002 specifically because of the off-centered shadowing on the 3D car cursor bug with 8.010 (sad or what), the U-Turns now allowed routing algorithm change it brings, and also because of the slow re-routing.

I find 8.002 a lot more stable too, in that with 8.010 my device would often hang at shut DOWN sometimes, or only half switch on then reboot again, when being powered on. So for the last few days I have happily been back on 8.002, despite not having time to fix my signature.

Rest assured, for x20 users, 8.010 is the ONLY option to bring them NavCore 8 for now, and for existing x30 users, using RDS-TMC, then 8.010 is clearly relevant for them too, as it supposedly fixes the traffic delay time bug.

As an existing x30 owner with WIRELESS Traffic however, 8.002 is the best option for me for now, that's all I am saying folks.

Thanks Mike.

As I am sure you were already aware, it was not my intention to DOUBT this, but rather given its huge import for those affected, to make sure I remembered to mention it, but could only use 'supposedly' as I use Wireless Traffic myself, so don't have first hand experience to confirm it. Pleased you did though


HOWEVER, all:

Oh I forgot, one other reason, a big one, for me to go back to 8.002...

Handsfree Calling - on 8.010 around 80% of my uses of my device, that is, switching my device on and using it, Handsfree Calling does not work properly. The problem is no audio outputted at all. The TT sees the phone, the phone see the TT. Use TT to make or answer a call, and the phone dials, or answers, accordingly. There is just NO actual SOUND coming from the TT.

Reboot the TT, and the problem is normally fixed - even to the point that if you were finishing the call off on the handset by pressing the relevant button on the phone to transfer, once you realise TT is not making any audio, then as the TT reboots, the TT automatically picks up the phone and audio in the middle of the call.

Like I say, under 8.010 it did this around 80% or more of the time for me. Under 8.002, touch wood, things seem ok.

Hope this BIG one is worth mentioning. And also, remember, I have an x30 device. It is becoming all too apparent that there are large differences as to what bugs happen, when using 8.010 on a x20, or an x30 unit instead.

I too could not hear anything when I tried using the hands-free.
I was using TT Traffic through my Nokia E65 on Three at the same time. This continued to work.

At some stage in my journey I realised that I was not hearing any instructions at all (although the details on screen were fine).

I re-started my 730 and it is working fine again.
It could have been the attempted hands-free call that caused all sound to go, but I have not had a chance to test it yet.

[ItsMikeE]

Tried hands-free (sitting in a quiet room so I could work out what was going on) and it caused the phone (Nokia E65) to go completely haywire.
Did a complete reset (and removed and re-installed Truphone - a VOIP application), and now hands-free is working fine, without having to revert back on my 730.
Will try hands-free for real on the way home tonight. Fingers crossed
