Help! Axim Lockup!

ercaba · 05-14-03, 10:18 PM

I am having a continual problem with the activesync on my axim locking up after disconnecting with the computer

90% of the time I have to get to the running programs list within the memory and stop activesync and it tells me that the program has stopped responding.

Until I kill A/S I can't get small menu to work. about 10% of the time I have to do a soft reset:rolling:

Activesync responds fine while connected to the PC and only freezes after disconnection.

:exc: EXTREEMLY FRUSTRATING:exc:

Am using 3.7 syncing w/ 2 pc's (home & work) have smallmenu (does same with facelift and icbar), BatteryPack, FranklinCovey PlanPlus, and Journal Bar (trial).

No similar issues on the PC side of any note.

how are you disconnecting? with the ax or the desktop?

even when i am done a sync, activesync is still running on the ax. i just pull the ax off the cradle when done. then i use switcher bar to kill A/S. it never locks up though. hmmm.....
i would not disconnect using the pc though.....pocket sync is really dumb. eitherkill active sync before removing from cradle, after. using the disconnect feature doesn't exit A/S anyway.

good luck

I am just disconnecting either by pulling it from the cradle or disconnecting the cable. A/S on the Ax does not recognize that the connection has been broken.

I can tell the system to disconnect after I have removed it and it goes through the paces and then locks until I kill the processes. A couple of times after killing AS, it has started up again on it's own.

I'm starting to suspect a faulty signal within the Ax either hard or soft wired.

I'm afraid that the next step may be the dreaded "hard reset"
