IPhone 4 will not locate Tom Tom car kit

iPhone 4 with IOS 4.0 will not discover TomTom car kit Bluetooth making the GPS app unusable. Also hands free which I depend on is also unavailable. Works as designed on a iPhone 3GS with 3.13. Unfortunately the SIM cards can not be switched. Please look into this issue and provide a correction.

Use the search facility on this site - I did, and found the following useful info...........
The TomTom car kit isn't made for, and doesn't officially support, the iPhone 4. As the iP4 is thinner than the iP3, the phone doesn't 'push' back onto the flap in the mount enough for the dock connector to fully engage into the iP4. You can 'fix' this by putting a small piece of fabric/paper/neoprene/whatever behind the phone, which will then push the flap sufficiently to engage the connector.
I've been doing this for ages without any problems, and the bluetooth connection between phone & car kit works fine.

    My new iPhone 4s will not recognise my TomTom car kit, so I cannot use any of my 3 TomTom apps, nor does it give me handsfree as before.  It will not pair, although I have held in the reset button until it beeps, then entered my PIN when instructed.  It also sometimes gives the message that this device is not supported by iPhone (although I have been using it for several years) with my UK and Ireland, Western Europe, and USA and Canada apps.  Just replaced my 4 with a 4S rather than a 5, which won't fit the mounting kit.

    From their web site Tom Tom actually offered a converter kit at one point however all it was a 3mm thick bit of plastic with a self adhesive tape backing!

  • IPhone 4S not working with TomTom Car Kit

    Hi,
    I have the TomTom car kit for 3GS and have just upgraded to iPhone 4S.
    I have one of the iPhone 4 adaptors from TomTom for the car kit, but even with this on, and trying some of the other suggestions online about a strip of velcro, I cannot get the cradle and the iPhone 4S to work together.
    Has anyone with a 4S managed to use it with the car kit?
    Thanks,
    Graz.

    Hi All
    Right, this is what worked for me;
    I had a iPhone 4 running ios 5 and all was fine. Since upgrading my to 4s my TomTom car kit wouldnt regognise the new phone.
    Remove the iPhone 4 adapter (retangular stick on thing that comes with the kit specifically for the iphone 4)
    turn it over so it is facing the wrong way. You should still have enough stick left behind on the kit itself to stick on again - must be the wrong way around!!
    Job done!!
    Works a treat

  • IPhone will not connect to WiFi

    My iPhone will not locate my wifi even though all other devices connect to it no problem. It's like the network isn't even there.
    This happens every couple of weeks and I have to go to settings -> general -> reset -> reset network settings and then it works again. I guess this is a bug having to do with too many stored networks? Why doesn't apple fix it?
    Today the usual solution didn't work and neither a hard reset.
    How can I fix this? Thanks.

    If no change after resetting network settings, try restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
    If no change after doing this, more than likely there is a hardware failure. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

    my ipad 1st generation will not locate wi-fi networks.  i have reset and have done router reseting, still nothing.  any suggestions?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • IPhone will not charge

    I've had my 3GS for three days and actually activated it yesterday. I let the battery run down, so that I could charge it as I do for all rechargable electronics I own. However, this time, my iPhone will not come back on. It has the charging bolt but does not gain any charge, so far as I can tell. I've tried three different cords, three car chargers, six different outlets, my laptop, and my Xbox 360 and none of them can produce a result. I know I'm not the only person with this problem. What's going on and how do I fix this? And for any "go to an Apple store" responses, the nearest is nearly 2 hours away so it's not exactly a viable option.

    Sorry but you've tried all the stuff you can do at home. The Apple Store is the next step - http://apple.com/retail/geniusbar

  • IPhone will not show new email in folders other than Inbox on Yahoo

    Hello,
    I have setup Yahoo email account. I have several folders within my yahoo account (15+), now the new email notification ( sound and new email icon ) works only on Inbox, If I have new email in my other folder, iPhone will not notify unless I go inside that folder.
    Has anyone seen this problem and is there a workaround ?
    I am sorry if I am repeating the Q, I searched here but did not find this Q?

  • Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events

    Just got my iPad and when syncing photos will only sync recent photos taken on iPhone - will not sync any photos from my albums or events despite selecting all events or even when i select specific events or albums.

    What is the file name of the video(s) you want to sync?
    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    Try force-closing the Music app: from the home screen, double-tap the home button, locate Music in the list at the bottom, tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap to close it, tap the home button again, then try to play your music again.

    There are far too many possibilities for anyone to guess the real problem. Where are you located? Where did you get the phone? Is it carrer locked? If it is, are you using a SIM for that carrier? Is your wife's phone carrier locked? If so is it to the same carrier as your phone? Have you activated your phone with iTunes? (It won't work with any carrier until it has been activated).

  • My lock button is broken and my iphone will not power back on when I charge it, how do I turn it on?

    My iphone will not power on when I plug it into charger in the wall, computer, or car. My lock button is broken and I do not know how to turn it back on. My phone did not die it just went black and has not been dropped, cracked, or gotten wet. What do I do?

    Normally one would do a reset, however without the lock button, which is the sleep/wake button, you cannot do a reset. You could always wait until the battery dies to see if it will start when plugged in, but the sleep/wake button is an integral part of the phone and needs to work to do a number of functions. I suggest that you make an appointment at the Genius Bar to get it fixed.
