For about a week now I have been bugged with every once in a while my alarm in calendar would go off and it would hang ringing a loud alarm tone. The only way out of it is soft reset. Today I spent the entire day trying to find the problem. Five 30 minute hard resets and many hours of removing programs one at a time I found it.
I discovered after a hard reset. (Nothing loaded on LD and never hotsynced) I set 5 alarms back to back with one minute between each and snooze them when they go off I could not get them to fail.
Then go in and configure VersaMail. You don't even need to do a real config. Just make up account info. Then schedule the alarms in calendar again. By the third snooze it will hang. Why? I do not know. I have tested this over and over. I am now reloading my LifeDrive with everything (except: VersaMail) and going to see if the problem comes back. Also Monday I will travel to my local CompUSA and try the test on the demo LD.
This is one nasty, hard to find, annoying bug. I really like VersaMail. I use POP email and trying to keep them organized using SnapperMail is a real chore. I find it easy to download my email to my LideDrive during the day leaving a copy on the server then go home retrieving my mail to my desktop then have the VersaMail conduit set to (Desktop Overwrites Handheld) downloads the mail I wanted to keep to my LifeDrive easy way to manage.
With Snapper I have to try to keep the two the same and since I have multiple POP accounts it becomes a mess. I wish SnapperMail would add a HotSync conduit.
(The above was a explain why I use VersaMail over SnapperMail. I have registered both but really like the HotSync Conduit.) Well it looks like I am back to SnapperMail until this bug is fixed for now.
After a day or so more and if no more "Alarm Hangs" I will try reporting the bug to PalmOne but will most likely get the same old canned response. hehe :) I love their tech support it is so unhelpful.... (I love message boards they rule!!)
I hope this info helps someone else out..
