So after about three weeks of Unbranded WM 6 bliss, my Treo started going haywire Friday...

The best way I can describe it is "unresponsive".

I would get calls, and no 'caller id screen' would pop up. If I hit 'answer', nothing would happen.

When sending SMS, sometimes the cursor would stop after typing about 10 letters... it wouldn't send, delete, etc. Sometimes, when I sent a SMS, it would stay in the lower 'compose' field and switch to the threaded chat part, so it was there twice, and I could type over it, but not erase it.

I was constantly soft resetting and using "ok" to shut down active programs, but nothing would solve the problem for long.

I only had a few 3rd party apps in local memory: 1. Google Maps, 2. Slingbox player, 3. Java Virtual emulator. (All installed more than 2 weeks before problems started)

I removed the Java program, and the phone worked better for a couple hours... but then it started becoming unresponsive again, so I removed all my third party programs.

Things only got worse. I started getting "low storage memory" messages. My storage memory was shrinking from about 2mb's left, to less than 500k.

I finally bit the bullet and did a hard reset.
The phone seems to be better... and I have 58 mb's of storage memory now.

I'm just curious what the hell happened?

Have any of you seen this with Sling or Google Maps? It had to be the JVM , right?

I could live without that, but not my slingplayer... Google maps would be nice to have, too...

Let me know what your experience has been. I'll let you know if the phone stays stable now with the reset.
