-- Geting tired of hard resets........ (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=8106)

I am starting to get very discouraged with my Visor. Both my father and I are on our second set of Visors because the olds ones would just randomly hard reset or go through batteries in a day. So they shipped us some new ones....everything was going good and then all of the sudden I turned it on and crash!!!! Hard reset again. I used the backup module and got back and running but this is really ticking me off.

I owned a Palm Pilot Pro and only had to do a hard reset once in 3 years of owning it....because of something stupid I did.

I know I can call support and get a new one sent out but what it is the point.

Anyone else getting random Hard Resets?

Heyday

What you are describing is an exact repeat of what I experienced with the Palm IIIc. But this is an issue of PalmOS 3.5. Since the Visor runs on a modified version of OS 3.1(h), I really can't offer a clue as to the cause. Did you have any conflicting hacks on your Visor prior to these crashes?

Spontaneous hard resets? Methink you have another defective unti and need another replacement. I am having no reset problems with my Visor.

i remember seeing a story on Dateline or one of those magazine shows in which certain people had a slightly stronger magnetic field and specific electronic items they used wouldn't work properly...they couldn't figure out what made some electronic items work fine and others not but it was interesting!

Stealth-Mod.

I've had my visor a little over a month now.

Although that obviously doesnt make me an expert, I can say I have never had to do a hard reset, but plenty of normal and one warm, due to my need to continually mis hacks and new programs until my visor starts hemmoraging

heyday,

Have you checked your Visor for the DRAM bug? While it shouldn't be causing the resets (it's supposed to give only a fatal error), it would be wise to test it anyway. You can read about the bug in the support area at Handspring. Then you can get the Updater patch.
