problem during softreset... force to hard reset...

[CGS]

Yesterday I had a problem after my TH55 crash.. I was using Agendus while having a doc to go opened (word).. I left a doc open in order to switch from agendus to doc to go faster... but I get an error message (something about memory...) the program "crash" tried to soft reset, but it freeze on the "palm powered" screen... and won't let me to soft reset... I waited until battery discharge completely, hard reset and backup all again (loose some days of info)... But I was wondering if this was a one in a time case or a beginning of a problem???

I was reading other threads and it seems like some guys had similar problems... I would like to hear comments.. does anyone know why this happens? or have similar recurrent problem? is there a way to fix it without doing a hard reset?
It was the first problem... but I’m kind of worried it can be the beginning of a big problem.
Thanks and regards

It sounds more like some strange interaction between Agendus and Docs2Go, or possibly some other software (like an alarm, DA, etc). Unless it happens again with some other combination of software and you can't pinpoint it, I wouldn't worry too much about your machine being messed up.

In the meantime, you might want to go get yourself a copy of Backupman. With that, you could have just done your hard reset, then restored the backup that was made hours earlier, not days earlier.

Thanks a lot... I will look for Backupman

This happened to me yesterday! I was trying to to transfer videos I recorded with Clie Movie Recorder using Filez from my TH55 to my girlfriend's laptop by infrared.

The laptop keep recognising the presence of the TH55 during the transfer process and it asks if I want to send any file to the TH55. But the transfer to the the laptop never seems to work even though it's configured to receive files through the infrared port.

After many attempts, the TH55 said something about being out of memory and it forced a soft reset, but after the soft reset it's behaviour was still intoxicated so I reset again, and voila! it got stuck on the "Palm" screen, the Bluetooth light came on, wouldn't respond to any buttons until the battery drained.

In the hours it took the battery to drain I was a nervous wreck, I thought I had a system meltdown on my hands and I briefly contemplated the best handheld to move to, but I couldn't leave the TH55 alone hoping to hit the right combinationg of buttons that would make it snap out of it's death stare. Fruitless....No plug to pull.

Because I regularly back up to memory stick with memorystick backup, I didn't lose more than a couple of SMS messages. Phew! Not again..

It just happened to me too. TH55/E1
As a new user I had no data to lose - still haven't figured how to get it across from the old P3xe.

In case this strikes any chords...
I had installed the E1 updates and some other files/apps.
Had a 256mb Memory Stick Pro in there.

On the basis of one post I decided to try the US wireless update because I wasn't very impressed with the range of the wireless.
Didn't seem to help(?)
Found other (german, dutch) posts saying it isn't needed for european models and it can be deleted.
Looked to verify if the wireless update had actually installed (using Clie files or other internal menus):
Found BCMLib 2.51 (actually two of them seen in one list?)
Couldn't see CFEtherNppi (instead saw a CFEtherinf 2.10)
Deleted BCMLib 2.51
Then could see CFEtherNppi 2.51 so deleted that as well.
Decided a soft reset would be a good idea.

Soft reset hung on "Palm Powered" with Power and Bluetooth leds on.
Fell back to trying hard reset but after asking to confirm deletion of all data it sticks at the same point.

One other thing that might have triggered it was I may have double hit the soft-reset button (which the manual warns against)... I was pushing 90 degrees to the correct direction... towards the front inside of up towards the top.
