Problem rotating the screen
Very funny story. Bought a second hand VIA130 on a flee market. Now having some interesting issues. Before I continue, let's say that I've tried every possible software tempering (recovered it, flashed original firmware etc) and kicked it, as I read on tomtom forums. So, as we know, these navigation devices have a possibility to rotate the screen depending on the ground position (idiotic feature if U ask me). Anyway, when I turn the device on, while in the normal, default position, it just freezes, restarts, turns on upside down, goes into recovery... But, when I turn it on, while upside down in the beginning, it starts normally and works normally. When I turn it upside down that moment, in order to go back to normal, it sometimes freezes, sometimes works normally, sometimes restarts after few minutes. Of course, it's unusable when upside down, as the holder can't be stuck to the windshield that way. Anyway, I suppose that it's gyroscope issue, but I was wondering if someone had similar issues and was able to solve it. Cheers

A quick search here gave me this (plus numerous other tips etc):-
To stop screen rotation....
Tap 4Dot (.... Menu) --> Setting --> Appearance --> Display --> Orientation lock... Set to on
Also I find the Auto screen switching is more stable, the more upright the device is mounted...

This is for the app on mobile phone, as these TomTom devices do not have rotation control in the menus. As I already said, I searched entire TomTom forum and the only relevant thing I found is this:

In which case all you can do is raise your specific query there & see if anyone bothers to come up with a solution other that "give it a good smack!"
