So it appears I fixed the navi freezing problem


Recommended Posts

Hey,

Like many owners of this unit, I had the thing freeze on me every time I went to use it.

My fix up to this point was to just hit the reset button on the faceplate before putting it in.

 

But the other day I dropped my unit on the pavement, REALLY hard, bounced it good off its corner.

Resulted in a cracked outer shell and a big scuff on one of the corners.

 

I went to use it again, worked fine, just needed the reset like always. Then after work I put it in my car again for the drive home, and no display! Music played fine, but no display at all. Reset did nothing. I was like awww damn.

 

When I got home, I opened the battery cover on it, disconnected and took it out, and put it back in. To my surprise it turned on again! I put the faceplate back in my car, and it works! The added bonus is it hasnt needed a reset so far, and its been a few days :)

 

Obviously I dont recommend using the pavement to fix the unit, but maybe try taking out the battery and putting it back in....

Good to know, you got it working again. The unit is pretty slippery, I would suggest leave it in if you really do not need it.

 

Yes, I tried that battery trick by killing the battery completely, and that did help in freezing for several days. But bluetooth phone book synching still caused bluetooth freezing.

yeah dammit nevermind ... the unit now will last a few days then the screen goes off completely again, and I have to pull the battery out now to reset it... I dont know if this is because of damage I caused to it or just faulty software

 

I haven't had this problem, but chinna_n apparetly hasn't had a freeze since updating the firmware. You might want to try that.

I take mine off, but hide it in my car out of the sun. Still, not much crime in my area. Maybe this is an good option for some?
