Tom Tom Go looses GPS singal when i recieve a call

henrik1980

Hi,

As of lately (since the last few android updtates i think) My Tom tom Go app will loose GPS signal every single time when the phone rings. After the call ends, the app cannot find any GPs signal and i have to hard quit the app (in the android settings) and restart it before it is able to find the signal again. I have tried reinstalling the app with the same result.

This ONLY happens when the phone rings. I can use the app for hours with no signal loss, but as soon as the phone rings, its over.
I hope you guys can help me with this.
Best regards Henrik

@ henrik1980,

following steps:

Uninstall the app
Logout of the Google Playstore.
Delete Android / data / com.tomtom.gplay.navapp and Android / OBB / com.tomtom.gplay.navapp.

Check both your memory and sd card for these folders

Shut off your phone and restart to make sure all the cache is cleared out

Open the Playstore login and reinstall TomTom over again.

But for test reasons only install Denmark first and test to see if the problem is solved.

If all is OK then put Europe back on again.

Also check on the Samsung forum for other user's have phone problems like yours too.
