Frequent resets with Axim x3i
Is any one having problems with frequent screen freezes that require soft or hard resets? I'm talking 10 - 20 resets a day. This axim is only one month old.

TIA,
Jim

Do you have a large sd memory card and, if so, do you have a My Documents folder on it? If not, add one and delete the ignore_my_docs file in the root directory of the card.

I had the same problem...I did a hard reset (removed the battery) and it's been fine since.

MS also just released a patch and I installed that shortly thereafter, so I'm not sure what fixed it...

I was on a plane last weekend and passed my x3i off to my girlfriend who was content on playing a few games of solitaire to pass the time...when she 3 times - in a matter of 2 minutes - passed it back to me and said "it's frozen".

I had to do a soft reset each time...as nothing would respond.

I only have a 32MB SanDisk SD card in it (what ever difference that would make).

In summary, I encountered this reset situation as well (although only with solitaire so far)...

I would try installing the A01 patch from Dell's support site. In the patch it has some hardware fixes. That might solve the problem.
