Tom Tom turns on automatically

 

A few days ago my Tom Tom One 3rd Ed. turned on while just resting on a counter in the kitchen. I did a internet search and found this is a common occurance. Anyone here had this happen? I suspect it may be related to exposure to strong electromagnetic fields - mine was near the back of a TV set when it popped on. I have put it in a cabinet away from all EMF sources and will see if that keeps it off.

When Shutting Down

Sometimes when I turn my GO 930 off, especially when it has been connected to the car battery, it will restart after a few minutes.

I just wish I could get my 930 to turn on when the car turns on and turn off when the car turns off.

Back on topic. I could not say what it is, but unless it happens more than once I would call it a fluke.

Hi, If it turns on while you

Hi,

If it turns on while you just turned it off, you must check if the next files are in your root of you TT.

If not, the files could be in the config folder.
Replace them to your root.

This probably works.

Sometimes it works to remove the sound it wil play after shutting down the TT. Just remove the sound from memory.

Sounds Interesting

What do those files do Chris?

Thanks for the repiles

Thanks for the replies. It has not done an auto-start again and I think it had something to do with the EMF from the TV set. If it does it again I will try the file adjustments.

TomTom turns on Automatically

About once every week or two, my TomTom One 3rd edition turns on automatically. Normally, I keep this plugged in in a corner of my basement. This area is not close to any other electronic device so I'm sure there is no interference. It also did it while it wasn't plugged in and completely drained the battery which is why I now keep it plugged in all the time. I guess it's complaining about not being used enough!

did it again

My Tom Tom did the auto turn on again - twice in the last month - both times in the console of the car. So I will next try werfje's suggestion above.

Mine Too...

Let me know how it works.
