I haven't seen this discussed before so I thought I would share my experience.

Since I first got the Visor I noticed that I do not have to do resets very often. Unlike most comments I read here where people have to do resets all the time. I had maybe 3 resets in the first 5 months and 2 of them where due to removing hacks.

Recently I have had lots of resets and problems with hotsyncing which required a soft reset to get going. I probably had 10 resets in 2 weeks.

I download ebooks and have lots of Avantgo channels so I figured that the system needed a good cleaning.

I synced and then HARD reset the Visor following the online PDF instructions provided by Handspring.

Tip#1 Before you recover you should go into your BACKUP directory and delete all programs and databases that you KNOW you do not need. It tried to reload every database I ever had.

Tip#2 After the first hotsync that restores the databases do another normal hotsync to get your data in sync. I was upset that I lost all my calendar entries until I did this.

So far, so good. 2 days without a reset and my Visor feels clean and springtime fresh.
