Login to mydrive error on GO Discover tomtom Oops We are having trouble accessing tomtom service

TomTom Go Discover 7 inch.

I've just purchased my TomTom GO Expert / GO Discover / GO Exclusive / GO Camper Max 7" took it out of the box, connected to my Wi-Fi, connect to Bluetooth and to the Personal Hotspot on my phone, all appear to be working fine. However the device will not sign in to my Tom Tom account. The message is: ' Oops We are having trouble accessing TomTom services, please try again later.

It has been doing this for 2 days now?

Thank you

Hi
@TCBoro
Re the GO Discover....
For the initial registration of the device to your account... You need to connect the device over Wi-Fi....
For ALL Map Installs & Map updates, the device >> MUST << be connected over Wi-Fi....
Check... Tap on the 3 line 'Hamburger Icon' --> Setting --> System --> About....
Scroll down to Data Connection....
What does the device report???
______________________
There are 2 Data Connections that when active can have a higher connection priority and can disable the Wi-Fi Connection....
(1)... Are you at home with your GO Expert connected to a USB port on your PC for a power supply + MyDrive connect running on your PC ???
The USB connection will take priority over the Wi-Fi connection....

Disconnect the USB Lead from your PC....
Note... If you need to power the device, when checking the Wi-Fi Connections, use something like a Mains USB Charger or a SmartPhone USB charger with the original Tomtom Power lead...

(2)... An active Bluetooth/Phone connection.... may also take priority over the Wi-Fi connection...

Hi @YamFazMan

Thank you for your help and support.

I have followed your instruction and in the settings (about) it is showing WiFi is connected. My maps are up to date, it did that yesterday, however, I still cannot connect to MyDrive services. I get the same message: ' Oops We are having trouble accessing TomTom services, please try again later.

My Routes and places are not syncing from my MyDrive on-line account to my device.

Thanking you in anticipation of your assistance.

TCBoro, I am have the same problem. I have tried everything that was needen to do but still no connection to my drive. The TomTom support section did not help very much, they tought i was talking about my drive connect/
but here is the thing: the go discovere/expert 7" serie starting with the serialletters ZW are not compatible with my drive, shown inTomTom own list of compatable devices. So i'am trying to tell this to the helpdesk employee, but het does not understand the problem.

my drive web route planner. i can acces the my drive routeplanner on my iphone and my computers, but not with the go. i am using the same account.
I think it is the serie of the serialnr ZW. when i check out the compability list of tomtom devices wich are compatible to use the my drive route planner, it is not mentioned.
so what to do, not getting good solutions from the tomtom support team

Hi @IanRoy

If you open the My Drive webpage or the App have you checked that the Sync to my devices is showing against each of the routes. Alternative try turning the Sync option closed on one of the routes then turn it on again just to see if that helps.

Hi DouglasLap, yes i did that. I had no problems with my previous go, 520. I tried everything, from resetting the device several times, till changing my password several times.
Nothing worked, still waiting for an answer to solve the problem from the most unreachable customerservice in the world.

Hi @IanRoy

Look back here tomorrow to see what @VikramK has to say after he has reviewed your units logs etc on the TT servers. Could you indicate the last 3 numbers of the serial number, not the whole reference, so he can be certain of the one to look at.

Doug

IanRoy

thanks

IanRoy

thanks, last 3 numbers are 966.

Hi @IanRoy
Account wise, I don't see any issue with your GO Discover.
If this is related to a sync issue, then perhaps it will need further investigation.

Are none of the routes you created in MyDrive web syncing? Do you see these routes in MyDrive app (on the phone)?

Regards,
Vikram

IanRoy

Hello Vikram, non of the routes i created in my drive, are syncing with the go, but the are visable in the app.
I think the problem is in the starting two letters of the serialnumber. the letters are ZW. According to TT list of compatible devices wich can sync with My Drive (routeplanner) the combination ZW is not present. Maybe you can look in to that.
Thank you so far
Ian

IanRoy

Hi Vikram, regarding to the serialletter, i found out that the ZW series does appear in the list but the PN(model)numbers don't match. My go PN(model) number is 8YB7.002.00.1.
According to the list the following numbers of the ZW serie are compatible: 1YB7.002.00 and 1YB7002.10.

Could this be the bug?
Regards
Ian

Hi Vikram, problem solved so far. I can log in now with the go in my drive.
