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

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:

Well, just tried to see if anyone had a similar problem like me. Obviously, I was wrong for doing so...
