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

Did you do a complete uninstall including the folders of tomtom? No, I only uninstalled via the anroid menu, i have no idea how to delete the folders?
What other apps are being used at the time of the problem? usually none, sometimes I might have a Podcast app running.
Have you replaced default apps with 3rd party apps (example new launcher?) no, the phone is all standard
Do you have the same problem with other GPS apps? no. i use Endomondo regulary when i run, the GPS signal is flawless regardless of what i'm doing with the phone, or if theres an incomming call.

Tom Tom Go App Version: 1.17 release/1.17 (2117)
Map version : 995.8490 (europe)
Hope this helps
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.
