OK, here's a strange one...
I've been running iGo and now Primo on my 4.3" Chinese PNA for years now. It's the standard CE device that's so common here with the YFAtlas system installed.
It's worked flawlessly for me. It's taken everything I've thrown at it over the years even though it doesn't really have the horsepower to handle it. It's done full TTS, lots of DEMs, maps, POIs...the works.
Recently, it has started rebooting at what seemed to be random times. I narrowed it down to something kind of interesting though. If I keep the volume set at midrange or so, it never skips a beat. Same thing on "Mute". When I crank it up to full, the first "Ding" or spoken direction initiates a re-boot instantly.
This happens on both iGo (both full and completely stripped down to essentials) and Primo, so I've got to believe that it's a hardware (or a CE) issue.
I can't be sure, but it may have started when I installed the latest Primo release.
More background that may be pertinent. The battery died over a year ago. It won't last five minutes unplugged. I wonder if the high volume may actually be drawing so much power that the unit is starved for juice?
I'm using a good quality Motorola mini USB CLA, (1A, I believe), so it shouldn't be an issue, but I thought I'd give you all the info I had.
Is there a way to reinstall CE and start from absolute scratch on these devices?
If my problem isn't hardware, it might be worth a shot.
Thanks,
John
