650 Resetting

[jackoat]

Does anyone else experience constant phone resets with their 650? I am using Cingular with an unlocked 650 and at least 3 to 4 times a day the phone resets. I have changed SIM card brands through Cingular and it continues. I see this problem mentioned often in the forum but noone seems to have an opinion or the same experience. Is it just me and if not does anyone have a possible solution?

Thanks

Does your Treo auto-reset itself when it's got a clean slate? By clean slate I mean only the OEM software on it that came with it..

If it happens right out of the box, with a clean slate, then I have no ideas.

If it's happening with other software on it, then the first thing I'd say is to sync (for backup).. change the name of the backup folder in your palm directory, and then do a hard reset and add one program at a time until the problem reveals itself again.. then you'll know which program is causing the problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will certainly consider it.

Mine never reset ever when I first got it, then it started doing it frequently for a little while, then much less often. Maybe once or twice a week now. I've decided to live with it.

It will occasionally do it when I use ShadowPlan 3.0, http://www.codejedi.com, depending on the size of the file I have open.

It seems to happen nearly 50% of the time when I do a bluetooth hotsync.

Sometimes when it's already syncing and I plug it in to be recharged.

...that's about it. Generally, when I'm making unusually heavy demands of the processor, and/or putting it in a position where an application might write past the end of a buffer.

Generally, this comes under the category of not going nuts when you load third-party apps onto it. Allocate a few days, maybe a week, to fully test out each one. If you aren't doing anything like that and still having problems, it might be time to talk about workmanship issues & warranty exchanges.

Hope this helps.
