Brief White Screen everytime I start my X51v

03-02-06, 08:54 PM

Hi guys,

I read about the WSOD. The thing with mine is that it doesn't stay stuck at the white screen. It starts but there is a brief few miliseconds of white screen when I start and put the pda to sleep. Any idea what is causing it? I have pocketbreeze on my today screen and also magic button. That's about it.

You might try setting ActiveSync to sync manually in the schedule. This may sound crazy, but WOSD sometimes goes away when this change is made.

Hi ktvyeow:

did you manage to resolve this issue?

Just noticed my X51V is doing the same when coming out of sleep.

I also noticed that the screen goes completely blank when I place my Axim into sleep mode. What's up with that?

This is normal and you dont need to worry about it. The axim's screen without a video feed is just white, because of the backlight. It takes a little bit for the axims video feed to start, but the backlight is already running.
Most screens and monitors are black when they are on without video feed, but the axim's is white because it has to do with the backlight being on.

... I also notice there isn't any sound coming out of my speaker during sleep mode either ...

It only happens once in a while and once it starts it continues to get worst and worst. A soft reset always solves it.

Well, if it actually gets worse, perhaps your X51V is loading the RAM from persistent storage, and the more programs and data you are actively accessing, the longer this will take. Sound reasonable? The soft reset would unload all programs that do not reload on boot. So, yeah, a soft reset is the way to go.
