Posted at the same time Dennis!

Guess what, it is now working at 10:34am.

Just out of interest; is there anybody who is NOT having problems with Google Search. I cannot rely on it because most of the time it just doesn't work. In my job it would be brilliant if I could access a company via Google search instead of relying on a given postcode which can cover quite a large area, particularly in some of the out-of-town industrial estates.

It's intermittent. I'd say I'm currently having a 50/50 success rate with it. Worked fine the last time I tried it (yesterday), but I was having no luck in the days before that.

No wireless data connection right now - for the last ten minutes or so - including hard reset, nothing.

Something else I noticed this morning for the first time, all services apart from Google Search were working, and then a popup appeared stating "battery too low". I know this was mentioned before as a possibility, but discounted. Time for a rethink?

Done the exact same search now and it 's worked.

2 out of 3 searches working today - no reboots or anything in between, the first 2 searches worked okay and half an hour later on a 3rd search the dreaded red screen of death......

AND

all of a sudden I have an error saying that my subscription has expired for the TT mobile cameras (don't ask, they are only on there whilst trying to troubleshoot the Google error). HD Traffic and Weather working fine.

Looks like TT have a problem with their servers again.

Well, I've now tried everything to get mine to work. Made sure battery is fully charged, ensured GPS signal is strong, getting red screen, waited 20 minutes then retried, still getting the red screen. Mine has now NOT connected to Google Search for three whole days! I've tried it at all times of day/evening over the 3 days. All services are still valid till January 4th 2010. So problem MUST be with TomTom somewhere, and if they can't identify and solve, why should I pay for another year's worth of part-time services?

I've just tried what Dennis suggested, switching off and then doing the 15 seconds type reset, and it worked! Wow! switched it off and then on again, retried and it's still working, so now I've switched it off and will try again in about half an hour's time. If it fails I'll try the whole process again to see if this could be the temporary fix we are looking for.

Good Luck as I have found this doesn't always work - in fact tried it just now and guess what - no Google

Yeah, waited the half hour, tried it and it was still working. waited another half hour, tried it and NO GO! Tried the reset from off and this time I've got the dreaded red screen; so it really does appear to be totally random.
