TP feezes at startup

[Boiler_81]

My today plus freezes at start up. The display indictes that the agenda is updating but it never gets there.

The PDA is locked up after this and I have to do a soft reset. If I go the the setup fast enough I can remove TP from the check box list then do a soft reset and the PDA will work fine.

Does anyone have an idea what to do to resolve this? I don't want to reinstall unless I have to.

Thanks,
Boiler_81

A bit more information - I have cleared the buffer with no help.

[Boiler_81]

I gave up and reinstalled. It works now. I just wish there was an easy way to get the skin configured back to where it was prior to the reinstall.

[Boiler_81]

I spoke to soon. It is back to the same behavior. I guess I am going to have to do a hard reset

Boiler_81,

I had a problem like this when I tried to use certain "var's" that were above var33 !!  My screen would freeze and the "updating" would stay there until I soft reset...

Have you used any higher var's ??

[Boiler_81]

No, I was not using a var higher than 33. So far the hard reset is working. However, I don't have the skin fully populated and most of my apps have not be reinstalled.

[ZapMe1]

As your reinstalling your apps, I would watch closely...   I had once used a version of "TodayPlayer" that didn't like TP at all !!   I again had a problem like you're having...   Maybe yours is an app conflict !!??

Have You  changed something at the Skincode.?
I have forgotten a comma, this has led to a Hardreset. Perhaps there is something similar at you.

[ZapMe1]

I have forgotten a comma,

Boy, that is so easy to do !!  

[Boiler_81]

No, I did not touch the code.

A good idea is to try the simple skins before a hard reset.  Although a hard reset every now and then is a good way to clean your PPC.

I know you haven't chande the code, but:
When I am making code changes I have caused my PPC to go into a restart loop.  I had to push a bunch of the hardware buttons on startup so that I could "distract the PPC away from T+" then I was able to switch the skin.

No, I did not touch the code.

Broiler_81:

 What device you are using?  If you don't mind, can you upload the exact skin caused the frozen, I can try it on my device?

[Boiler_81]

Axim A5 advanced using the latest Hammer skin US version. I have been using it for the last day with no issues.

[uk_skinner]

Then that is ok.

In latest Hammerskin, there is a var51 and caused some problem.  If you have not experienced any problem with previous ones, I would suggest you to avoid that var51.  At least, we know this one cause the major problem in Spansh OS.
