By making various backups, when it starts freezing, I can go back to the backup before freezing and figure out what programs I added. I think next I will load clocks and calculator.

Seems like good news so far :approve:

The trick is patience, one application at a time with a reasonable test period in between. BTW, I find that a soft reset after loading each new application helps with stability: I have no idea why, it just does.

When I use SK Tools, I always get the dreaded white screen after a soft reset

Do you have the most recent version. SK Tools works wonders on my 51v. I have been able to solve some vexing problems with it. :approve:

lol...thanks

AtticusFinch

thought I had it licked. then, it hung up overnight. It appears to be caused by either Memmaid, SK Tools, Pocket Stars, Pocket Earth, Resco Audio Recorder, or Resco Pic Viewer. I went back two saves till a time prior to those programs being added and it was finae all day yesterday, overnight, and all day today. I also have not added any games yet, but I doubt games are the problem. I will add one of these programs a day and see what happens. Geez

That's a lot of software on your Axim: are you sure that you have enough memory to run the thing?

AtticusFinch

Memory was never an issue. I run most of my stuff off my 4GB CF Card

Storage memory and program "run" memory are different. Using a program such as memmaid will allow you to see how much memory a program is using while it is running. If you have a lot of programs open at one time you can run out memory no matter how much storage you have.

Don't think there are any old school managers such as qemm and ramdisks for the windows mobile.

AtticusFinch

Oh...yeah, I knew that...lol. But it was never a problem. I never have more than 1 or 2 programs running at same time. I check my memory frequently.

AtticusFinch

ok...so I have everything working and it seems all is right with the world....and my 4 GB CF card crashed. That is where everything was stored. Sigh.

Is SD a better one to store it all on?

Thanks. I had a freezing problem too. I did a hard reset, added programs, soft reset each time, and a backup after each program install. I found one program that I wanted to use but my axim didn't like. It also made my x51v give me the error reporting message constantly. So instead of deleting the program, I did a hard reset and recovered from the last backup. I installed the rest of my essential applications. Left it on all night (not in standby) and the device seemed fine. Previously, it would have frozen and required a soft reset. I've been playing recorded shows on it since 7am (currently 10:30am) and so far no problems. Combined with it being on all night and 4+ hours of continuous movie playing, I expect it to freeze by now. So far so good. I hope I'm not speaking so soon.

Excellent! The system works but does require some patience. :approve:

BTW, welcome to Aximsite
