Problem Solved with Garmin Mobile XT on Samsung Blackjack

I’ve been using Garmin Mobile XT on my Samsung Blackjack for about 2 months now, and love it. But a week ago, it suddenly started crashing after the splash screen. After several attempts at solving the problem with Garmin support (who weren’t much help, I’m sorry to say), I just decided to bite the bullet and do a hard reset of my Blackjack to see if that would help. Sure enough, after the hard reset and a reinstall of Garmin Mobile XT, it’s back to working normally.

I’m not sure what caused the problem in the first place, since it had worked flawlessly for over a month. It may have had something to do with my installing Google Maps Mobile or Live Search, as these both have the ability to access the Garmin bluetooth GPS receiver, which I had tried. I had to play with the COM port settings, which I think is when my problem with GMXT started. It was useless anyway, since GMXT is far more advanced than these two programs, but I at least wanted to give them a try.
