7.0" CAR GPS MP4 SpeedCam 3D NAV Bluetooth - can be seen @ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-7-0-CAR-G ... 45fb693ff8
Rom Version: V.912C.210000.110707.128M
App Version: V1.4 ABF-U120-HD-EN-CE6.0
System ID: 0018E420-09000000-00000000-00000001
I purchased this GPS about 1 month ago off Ebay and so far i have "installed", configured and successfully run; TomTom, MemoryMap, TwoNav, BeelineGPS, VisualGPS and MapmyIndia.
Since trying to get Garmin XT to run the device is now experiencing the following issues:
The backlight turns off (off not dims) after 5 minutes, even if an app is running (except Beeline)
Pressing the ON button for 2-3 seconds no longer displays the Sleep/Shutdown option
To shut down i have to hold the ON button for 10 seconds
At first i thought that some files had been deleted from Residentflash, because i was sure that originally there were the gpspara*.bin files. But i contacted someone through Ebay who said that in their Residentflash folder there were no files at all! But i'm still not convinced. If this is true, that there are no gpspara*.bin files in Residentflash then perhaps it's a registry issue. The problem here is that i have been a bit slack with this GPS and didn't make a backup of the registry, and to make matters worse i have change a few power and backlight settings in an attempt to stop the backlight from turning off.
I have had one small success though; When this problem started, one problem was that while connected with Mobile Device Center the GPS would switch off after 5 minutes, and now it only dims after 5 minutes but stays on. As i said a small success.
So ladies and gentlefolk of the forum, this is the point where i appeal for your help and wisdom to try and get my poor GPS to run for more than 5 minutes at a time!!
If any member who has the same GPS or has experience can offer any help or advice on the following points i would be extremely grateful
1 - On this specific model does Residentflash contain any files or not?
2 - Do the following Registry entries look correct (some entries may have changed in my effort to solve the problem)

I included the last key as it shows activity event. As far as i understand the backlight is "kept" on by having a routine trick WinCE in beleiving some user action has just taken place, and therefore overides the WinCE backlight setting
3 - In Residentflash2 there is a file "PowerDown.exe". Would this be the Sleep/Shutdown menu?, and if it is, i can't get it to run! There is also "setting_wince.exe" which is a sleep/shutdown menu, but not the one used before?!?!
4 - I have managed to get Garmin XT to start, but i cannot get to the "About" page to read the device ID. Does anyone know whether this ID is generated within Garmin or does it just read the number from the device?
5 - Is there any way to force a program to scale its GUI; MemoryMap produces a nice big map but the buttons are the same scale as CE titlebar/menu bars/taskbar...too bloody small!!
6 - There is no "wceload.exe" so to "install" i am using an emulator and then copying the files over to SDMMC. Run the app, and then correct any registry entries. Is there any way to install a CAB file without wceload.exe?. I've tried to copy it from another GPS i have, but it won't let me!
Ok, that's enough for now. Please feel free to comment, suggest or help with any or all of the issues. Especially the shutting down!! Many thanks for reading
