Screen freezes during map scrolling

[jonh]

I loaded TT2 before my bluetooth GPS arrived and immediately become worried with TomTom's tendency to lock up the UI of my XDA2 (Rom1.3) during long sessions of map mode scrolling and changes of map scale.

During the lockups that can last from 10 seconds to +1 minute TT will scroll an existing portion of the map but then it takes ages to paint the blanks. On a bad day after one freeze I will see many intermediate attempts to display the map at different scales but if I back off completely is does recover. Is this expected behaviour?

Please note that TT is loaded into main memory and no CD card is present. I can repeat the lockup with both the phone and Bluetooth disabled. I have a small UK map loaded covering the SE UK.

TT2 About shows version 2.24.2. I do not know where the GPS driver version is displayed.

The GPS Driver version is display in the GPS Info application.

This is not normal behaviour and not something I have heard reports of in the past but I do not have any firts hand experience of the XDAII. I do know that there were issues with BT SPP but this does not appear to be connected with your issues. The symptoms sound more like a resource issue on the XDA itself causing memory problems. I have heard that the XDA is particularly prone to these as it has many more programs running in the background catering for the telephony side than a standard PDA.
