Anyone using iGO 8

[aspalaasn]

argh...ok, so I've done further testing. On some occasions, few really (when I call myself, since I know I'm calling), I would get the incoming calls when I'm locked onto satellites with igo.

some other times, when I'm locked onto satellites, i can't get any calls. There was a couple of times it would vibrate once and then nothing. On the caller side, I would either go straight to voicemail or have the set number of rings then go to voicemail.

I don't really know what is causing it to interfere with the radio for incoming calls but it does. Now I'm wondering if that's the same with Tomtom and Garmin, may be it works sometimes and other times it doesn't.

Anyone notice this. I seem to be calling my own cell phone a lot to test it out. Most of the time I wouldnt even know since I'm not the one calling. What makes it worse is that I don't get any miss call notifications or voicemail notifications (not like the people calling me ever leave messages)...

guess it's back to using something thing else.

I used to have this problem with Radio 335 and Ghettofreeryders V700 ROM. I have since moved to the stock alltell radio V337 and Mustan-tech's ROM and everything seems to work fine. I can make calls, receive calls, surf the web while navigating, and I even get Windows Live mail too... I even put the phone to sleep while navigating (via power button) for a good couple of minutes and then woke it up and Garmin said the GPS was off. A few seconds later, all the sats relocked on and the map updated to the new location.

I thought I replied to some of your posts in other threads regarding this problem and I thought you figured it out that it was Ghetto's ROM. Anyway, I'm using Garmin V4.20.20 set to COM4. I'm pretty much happy with it except the intermediate driver time reset problem.

I did figure it was Ghetto's rom. I have Tomtom and Garmin working with incoming calls but then iGO didn't work and interfered with incoming calls similar to what happened with Ghetto's rom. I think it had to do with the way I was connecting GPS. Probably interfered with the radio or something. Anyway, things are working now and I'm using iGO. A lot nicer...

For the Garmin problem, if you set it to com4, it wont reset ur time anymore. I no longer have that problem, but did before.

For iGO, the recommended fix by the developers is to change the sys.txt. I think unchecking those 2 options doesnt work for everyone which is why the sys.txt fix is needed.
