GO 6200 crashing instead of going to sleep
I have tried a factory reset, which has not helped.
Is there a way of rolling back to a previous version of the app with this device please?
Thanks

SuperuserHi @Rich7K
My next try would be to do a factory reset on the unit. Before doing this go to the My Drive Website and log into your account to check that all your My Places, Poi and Route files are saved there. If they are then:-
Tap Menu
Tap Settings
Tap System
Tam Reset Device.
This will not affect the Operating Software of Map versions on the unit. Once done you will have to set the unit up as you did when first out of the box.
If that does not resolve the issue then the next step is to Recover the device. See the following:-

Welcome to the site... Have you tried a Soft/Drum roll restart on the device ??? This restarts the device's Operating System afresh

Charge the device for at least 2Hrs….
(Preferably using something like a Smartphone Charger using the Tomtom USB lead)
OR have the device plugged into a power supply while the device is restarting
Press and hold the on/off button until you hear a drum-roll sound then release the on/off button.
You won’t lose anything; it’s just like rebooting your PC
I use a Soft/drum-roll start after any upgrade large or small.
It’s also useful to keep in mind for sorting out most minor niggles....

The only workaround I have at the moment is to put the device to sleep prior to power being removed.

Could you send me the serial number of your device through a private message, please?
