Updating Datebook

[sonorelli]

I have a Verizon 700p with a mind of its own. It obsessively displays a popup message "Updating Datebook" frequently. While this message is visible, the touchscreen and keypad are locked out, the only thing to do is wait it out. I suspect that a leftover file from my Kyocera 7135 is responsible, but I'm not sure. Verizon's suggestion was to reset and reinstall everything. That's like tearing down a house for one bad brick. There must be a preference or file responsible for this, but finding someone who knows which file is seemingly impossible. Any thoughts?

Any recommendations on a File Manager to hunt for the culprit?

Well, I found the culprit. On my Kyocera 7135, I had been using a suite of applications from Class Action originally called My Time Traveler and now known as Titan Class. These apps allow one to enter travel information into a website. The time zone specific info is then viewed on the handheld and synced to the calender automatically. Problem is, its not playing nice with the 700p calendar, hence the incessant popups and processor lockout.

For the record, I verified with Class Action that the following apps are indeed incompatible with the 700p: TZEvents, Itineraries and TravelSync. Once I deleted these, no more "Updating Date Book" messages.

And BTW, I can still use MyTimeTraveler and share time zone specific events with a Mac desktop. I import the .ics file into iCal and sync that with the 700p using MissingSync. On the handheld, DateBk5 handles the time zone specific events with ease.

Would you have any idea how I might invoke the Date Book application from the handheld? I'm getting the following error message when trying to sync my PIM functions, it all of a sudden stopped working.
