[mudpool]

Hi everyone

I had been having some problems with my brand new tomtom 700, well
> this evening it has just decided to die and will not turn on at all. I
> am so annoyed with this product at the moment as I need it for my trip
> to spain on Thursday.
>
> Here are the problems I have had so far ( It was brand new 3 weeks ago )
>
> 1 - Bluetooth phone connection sometimes works, sometimes does not.
> 2 - If you are talking handsfree throught the tomtom unit and someone
> else calls you at the same time it just hangs up on everyone.
> 3 - I cant transfer my phone book numbers into it from my phone as it
> says it is not able to do it.
> 4 - Sometimes it will not display text messages and shows a warning
> that says this test message cannot be displayed ( it is not a picture
> message, just text )
> 5 - durning conversations on handfree the unit freezes then just
> repeats the last word of the person that called you about 6 or 7 times
> ( e.g " hello mark how are you,you,you,you,you,you,you,you )
> 6 - Twice now the unit has tuned into other peoples conversations
> whilst I have been having a conversation on handsfree, when this
> happens I can hear someone else talking like a crossed line but they
> cannot hear me and it cuts my call off.
> 7 - 4 times the unit has just decided to reset itself mid conversation
> for no reason ( battery has been fine and it has not been connected to
> the charger in car as I never use this product now after my last one
> caught fire ) everytime it resets itself I have to re-enter the
> bluetooth codes etc.

> This evening in preperation for my holiday I put in a spanish address which worked> fine, finished what I was doing and switched the unit off, when I> switched it back on to put in the address of a local beach it wouldnt> come on at all and it is now completely dead. I have plugged it into> the wall charger and the green light comes on but the unit will not

UPDATE - - - whilst I have been writing this I have had help from www.satnav-shop.com who have instructed me how to reset the tomtom 700 and it is ALIVE !! I used a paperclip to press the reset button on the bottom for 10 seconds and this did the trick, with regards to the other troubles though I think these may be a matter for tomtom and i will send them some feedback through their website. Many thanks to satnav-shop.com though as I was about to have a very stressfull evening. If anyone else has had problems similar to the problems I have detailed above and has had a response from tomtom please feel free to email me mp260875@aol.com
