Some overseas Tube users have reported loose battery contacts being the reason behind this type of auto shut down... sweat.gif

Try sumbat some paper on the top part of the batt well, to make the contacts tighter?

Finished installing GXT 5.00.30 (upgrade from .20), fuss free and no problem!

Here's some full pictarz for your enjoyment!

user posted image

Things that work now:
a) Full touch navigation (yeehaw!)
user posted image
b) Full Landscape support (oh Garmin you were listening to the nets!)
user posted image
c) Fullscreen splash screen (small details DO matter, and again Garmin WAS listening).

Things that are still screwed up:
a) The great TSAutostart.exe problem.

Maybe somebody would need to try and test the mem/power consumption of this thing (TSA.exe) with the Nokia Energy Profiler to once and for all make sure that it's NOT killing off our battery life?

For me, I puas alreadi kill cardrunner.dll from the sys/bin folder and end TSA.exe the process every time I end GXT... A bit particular about proggies running in the background... sweat.gif

But really, great job Garmin guys!

Agreed, this is LYN not Craksforall.net... Google lar member, don't malas2... sweat.gif

And about the maps, you CAN use both if you want wat? Only problem you'll have two of everything when you search lar... sweat.gif

Currently using MFM myself, the icons are bliss... drool.gif

Although if you use anything above normal for Map Details with MFM, you're gonna be in a world of hurt in GXT (esp. in highly icon populated areas --> lag, jam, crash... Icons eat a bit TOO much RAM i guess)... sweat.gif

erm ... what do u mean by tsautostart.exe problem ?

so far i know the 5.00.30 already fix the problem. You could disable the setting now through (Tools -> Settings -> System -> Launch Background Service -> disable)
but sometimes it doesnt work immediately. So you have enable it FIRST and then disable it again.
*
Confirmed, TSAutostart.exe no longer... erm... autostarts after the bolded above... Thanks bro! notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Great work people at Garmin bar none then, only problem is MFM eats our RAM (or CPU cycles) for breakfast and then slows down everything before making GXT hara-kiri itself... sweat.gif

TIP: Set Map Detail to Least --> only 200m and below can see the POIs, works great for areas with CRAPLOADS of POIs... biggrin.gif

I'm currently in SP most of the time, so Less (300m-) works well enough... biggrin.gif

Using More or Most in KL? Suicide IMHO... sweat.gif

u confirmed no need to kill tsrautostart.exe? and no more cardrunner?

want to really make sure..cause the previous garmin really sux batt life..i removed that piece of C

BTW, u're in SP? sg petani?

Yep, I'm right here from the great River of Farmers, Riceland!

Anyhow, I deleted Cardrunner.dll just in case, and again Cardrunner does something completely different from TSautostart. Cardrunner only (IINM) brings up that "Garmin XT Detected. Do you want to start it now" prompt when you insert the memory card.

And yeah, no more killing TSAutostart. Either it just doesn't start anymore, or Garmin found out how to make it a system app (which is worse because then it becomes a silent, unkillable batt sucker)... sweat.gif

after setting it, tsrautostart.exe terminates itself after you exit or close garmin
it is still running while you're using garmin
so if you're using handy taskman, make sure you don't kill garmin, otherwise it won't terminate the tsrautostart
*
Which translates to: USING GXT is still a batt life killer (although it couldn't hold a candle to using the Tube as a 3G-WIFI router... Try 1 hour batt life from full charge... Or 3 hours 3G torrenting... Main reasons why I got a car charger AND a 3400mAH ext. USB charger)... sweat.gif

But at least it doesn't suck batt when you're not using it... thumbup.gif

so what does the cardrunner really do..? i dont really understand

btw, maybe garmin found out a way to sux the batt life without any option to kill it.

It autostarts Garmin when you remove and reinsert the mSD... A throwback from the days that GXT ONLY comes in a 2GB Garmin Pack mSD that you have to change with the mSD you're using... sweat.gif

Wah, fellow Tubian/Alphaian in SP... Can TT sometime asso... thumbup.gif

Well yes and no... Read my post, and thanks for reminding me that it Autoruns GXT AND starts TSAutostart EVERY TIME you remove/reinsert your mSD/use Mass Store mode... In the olden .20 days anyway... brows.gif

Deleted it anyhow and nothing much is happening... GXT working fine without it asso... thumbup.gif

Now, QUICKWORD TOUCH quick2 and I'll be an extremely happy man!

Hey guys, Nokia's FINALLY admitting that the earpiece problem is in fact A PROBLEM...

Although anybody buying their 5800 after the end of Jan got the 2nd, improved batch... No more earpiece problem, only other problems... sweat.gif

http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2009/02/27/...y-be-defective/

More detailed news about it here:

http://www.mobile-review.com/articles/2009...0-brak-en.shtml

Excerpt:

QUOTE
This indicates that the problem probably lies in a thin oxide film that forms on contacts and breaks down whenever moved. Although the question remains as to why similarly designed earpieces found in other phones (like Nokia N85 and Nokia E71) don’t suffer from this effect as well? However it turns out that they do too, just like the Nokia 5800, but the number of failures is insignificant.


QUOTE
Based on the analysis of these results, we devised two primitive ways to fix the phone – the first option is to solder in the contacts, and the other one is to use a sealant in order to limit the exposure of the earpiece’s contacts to moisture. However neither method proved successful, as the earpieces on both phones we used for this experiment started malfunctioning, although it took them slightly longer to get into that condition.


QUOTE
Those of you who have already encountered this issue and had your 5800 XM repaired, the only thing I can recommend is to take your phone back to any service center and get them to replace the earpiece again. And if you are about to buy a 5800 XpressMusic, but wouldn’t like to visit Nokia’s service center at least once, then pay close attention to the phone’s production date – it seems that all units manufactured in February are defect-free. Unfortunately, there is no way to learn about a new phone's production date from its box or manual - to do that you will need to contact a service center and tell them your IMEI code, and this is the only way to do that at this point in time. However the good news is that given how popular this phone is, it's safe to say that by mid March local retailers won't have any flawed units left in stock. So another option would be to wait until April before buying the 5800 XpressMusic.

Everyone should decide for him/herself whether the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic's pros outweigh its cons, including the added possibility of the earpiece defect. My opinion that this phone is the best offering in its class hasn't changed at all. While this phone's earpiece is its weakest spot, it's simply one of the things you need to be aware of and have the whole story on your hands, rather than rumors and guesses. However I shall warn you that any attempt to disassemble the phone and fix the earpiece on your own may nullify your warranty, on top of that, there is a very slim chance you'll manage to bring it back to life.


Hmmmmmm.... hmm.gif

Taken from another forum:

"what make me think so is the fact that even if you repair the earspeaker problem you do it only temporarily(have read in forums this fact ) which suggest that is a construction problem..."

Ugh... This plus my previous post ain't looking too good... sweat.gif

Anybody repaired their earpiece and now it's wanko again?

Garmin 5.00.30 has bug also.

I found out a bug. When you set a destination to go, you can see 3 buttons at bottom.

One is speed metre or distance.

Next one is return to menu.

The other is the time left for destination. (BUT IF YOU PRESS THIS KEY THEN GARMIN IS HANG!!!!!!!!!! HAVE TO TURN OFF GARMIN AND START AGAIN)
I think 5.00.40 will be came out bcoz of this.

I tried at 2 5800s.

Just tried it out, NOT happening on my Fate-Tan, just brings me to the my locations menu (which is VERY handy)... sweat.gif
