If you have just installed Garmin Mobile XT version 5.0.0.20 on your Mobile Phone (So far only verified on my Nokia E71 running Symbian OS), you may have notice that your battery life for you mobile phone seems to have reduce substantially from about 2 days before the installation to about 1 day.
This it seem is due to a background process that Garmin Mobile XT starts upon boot up of your Symbian operating system as well as upon running of the Mobile XT software.
Things you will need to verify if you are affected by this background process.1.) An installed version of Garmin Mobile XT (Duh….)
2.) JBak Task Manager. (You can download it from:
http://jbak.ru/jbaktaskman_en.php)Step 1-->Start JBakTaskMan
Step 2-->Select Menu >> Tools >> Processes
Step 3-->Type TSRAutoStart.exe
If the process TSRAutoStart.exe is found, you are most likely affected by this background process wasting away your battery life.
How to kill the TSRAutostart?Step 1-->Follow the previous Step 1 – 3
Step 2-->Select the process TSRAutoStart.exe
Step 3-->Select Menu >> Terminate process
How to prevent TSRAutostart from auto loading upon boot up.[COLOR=purple]

Step 2-->Delete file CardRunner.RSC in directory under Mobile Phone( \Resource\plugins\CardRunner.RSC)

Permanent Fix.Well if you are seeking a permanent fix, you could always try downloading the latest version of Garmin Mobile XT (Link:

As of version 5.0.0.40, this background process is now an option that can be switched off, saving you the trouble of killing the process each time you run Garmin.
Step 1-->Start GMobileXT (Duh…)
Step 2-->Goto Tools >> Settings >> System
Step 3-->Scroll down all the way till you see the option “Launch background service”
Step 4-->Select Disabled then Done to save
