I have problem last hew few months. I have no stable GPRS connection. I must reboot device 10- 20 times per day because the device loses connection and never connected again. Now I reboot device 10 times... I do a hard reset but gprs connection never came...
Any solution?

    I forgot to tell... I do everything... reboot, soft reset, hard reset, other power supply, other cable, login and logout from my account. Nothing work now. GPRS connection never came. Only via wifi or bluetooth.

    Have you purchased any electrical gadgets like a cheepo Web-cam the RF from some gadgets will kill satellite and Phone signals

    Have you changed your car to one with a Metallised Heat reflecting Screen this will kill satellite and Phone signals

    Are you using a MiFi dongle?

    Hello YamFazMan.
    Thanks for the quick reply. I think you are right. My satnav was close to the road tax collector for the Swiss. Now I change the place away from this device and the connection came. I hope that issue came from the tax collector.
    Best regards.

    Unfortunately the problem remains. Today after 20 reboots GPRS status disconnected. No other electronics near to satnav. Very unsatisfying and disappoint from Tomtom.

    Hello YamFazMan. Today there was GPRS connectivity for about 1 hour and then disappeared again and did not appear anymore. Even after repeated restart and factory reset, it displays: GPRS status disconnected. I try to use the device away from any interference but never connected. I tried different chargers ... unsuccessfully. Whatever I do GPRS status is disconnected. This is happening in the Zurich (Swiss),Singen Stuttgart Würzburg Erfurt (Germany). When I connect it through bluetooth or wifi there is no problem. But it never again connects through gprs whatever I do as many times as I can restart or reset to factory settings does not attempt to connect. Simply displays GPRS status disconnected.

    Mine is the same here in the U.K. worked for around 4 hours, then stopped. Tried hard reboot, factory refresh, uninstalling and reinstalling software but nothing works.
    My thought is a loose SIM or SIM fault.

    Works via Bluetooth but as I only have 500 MB data on my phone I can’t use this all the time.

    The whole point of using an inbuilt sim is saving data on your phone.

    For £399 for a professional GPS device, I feel like I’ve been conned.

    Even Halfords (who sold me the device) is saying speak to TomTom. They can’t see a problem. So I’m stuck with an expensive GPS that doesn’t seem to work properly. Plus the constant reboots whilst in use, the voice nav stopping mid route, routing me down a very tight road in an artic, not great!!

    Hello. Yes I use a original 12/24 power supply and cable. And I tried with different chargers and cables unfortunately with no success. Today I have GPRS connection. At one point, it just lose connection and does not appear anymore.

    Hi
    @Gazibarev

    The next time GPRS disconnects...

    Check your Battery Charge Status...

    Tap the 4Dot (.... Menu) button... On the Menu Screen top right is a battery status Icon
    Charging... Displays when Connected to a Power supply
    368fa599-f465-4a45-9274-b2b29b56a6d1.jpg
    Full Charge... Displays when Connected or Not Connected Power supply

    Half Charge... Displays when NOT Connected Power supply

    Low Battery... Displays when NOT Connected Power supply
    29b0c6f3-11f1-4d8f-9543-eef314472a31.jpg
    One of the worst things you can do to a Lithium battery is to run it flat so at a certain percentage of discharge (Unspecified)... The device will go into 'Power Saving Mode' the screen will dull, and the device will eventually turn itself off (Not Sleep)

    There is a Battery Status display available on the devices Status Screen
    Press and hold the on/off button until you hear a drum-roll sound Continue to hold the on/off button until the Black & White Status screen is shown.....

    If you are worrying about the device charging, you might consider one of these gadgets

    b23e2fef-ffbf-4127-80b0-646533d6f987.jpg
    Simply plug the device into the USB socket and plug your lead into the USB Doctor, the device will display the Voltage and Power being used by your various USB devices
    I have one of each type they're only peanuts to buy, search Amazon/eBay for USB Doctor

    Hi @Gazibarev

    Are you placing the unit so that all of it has a clear view of the sky through the windscreen. Its probably just where you put the unit to photo it but it looks as though it is up high and not on the window.

    4 months have passed since I have a problem with the GPRS connection. the problem has not yet been resolved. i used any methods like switching the power and the mount place. No effect. The device connects to a full signal and then disconnects and no longer connects. This is happening throughout Germany and Switzerland.

    Hi @Gazibarev

    Looking at the photo again I assume the top object is a camera but what is the other larger object lower down.

    This is the road taxes collector for Switzerland. I don't think that the interferences is a problem because the issue still remains in my car to.

    Hi @Gazibarev

    Thanks. It has been suggested before re tax units interfering but as you have the same issue in your car then that seems to cover that possibility.

    I got it. This is the main source of interference. After removing it (it was far away and connected to a separate source) the GPRS connection came instantly no matter how many times I would connect it and disconnect it with the WIFI, the satnav now it connects instantly. I hope I'm right. I will follow tomorrow.
