Tomtom constantly returns to Demo Mode

My TomTom XL is continually doing the same; mid-route it starts demoing the model yet the voice still calls out directions. Any advice much appreciated. Regards,

Sean

    Thanks very much for this suggestion, I have tried it and reset the factory settings but the demo problem persists! Do you have any other suggestions?

Hi,

My Tom Tom XL was doing the same. After several minutes it would revert to a demo and you would have to tap the screen to make it disappear, but would come back a few minutes later. I spoke with Tomtom Customer service, and the guy on the phone told me i have to plug it into the computer, go into the tomtom from My Computer, and delete a folder names Scripts. After deleting the folder, it's now working perfectly.

This should fix your problem :)

if you need any help you can email me: [email protected] and i can talk you through.

Cheers

    Fantastic. Been driving me mad and was all set to take it back to the shop tomorrow. Worked a treat.

    Thanks.

See solution 1, the only thing I'd add is that on my unit it was Script in the singular. The folder just seems to be full of .BMP files.

I have no sound on my tomtom 930

Only one reason why TomTom do not play any sound:
in Route DEMO MODE - Demo speed is not 100%.
Set Demo speed to 100% and you will hear play back, music and media.

Continually returns to demo mode

I had to contact TomTom to answer this, their advice was:
On your device tap the bars that show the strength of the satellites. Then top right tap the clock and hold for 30 seconds.

I tried this but it didn't make any difference to me, but I thought it may help other users. I'll let you know when I get any further advice.

Regards,

Sean

I have a tomtom xl 330 after 2 minutes of using it. it goes to demo mode. how do i stop it

I have a GO630 that had the same problem. To fix it, Plug it into your computer and look up the files on your Tomtom. If the file titled "Script" is there, deleate it and that should fix the demo popup problem.

It's a default demo. You can remove it by changing it in your preferences, not by deleting files

Screen saver

Most likely the demo script in the \script directory of your TT is named "salesdemo.script". A script by this name is run automatically after a certain time. Just rename it to "demo.script". Problem solved.

Reset the unit by pushing a bent paperclip or pin into the hole on the bottom marked 'reset' turn it back on, plug it in & charge it via USB overnight or as long as you can in the car, make sure the led on the top is green, tap the bottom right of the screen & check the battery symbol on the unit says charging underneath.

If this doesn't help.
