Re: TP locks up during sleep / charge

Sager hit close.

Having "active" applications on a storage card has often caused issues with nearly ALL pocket PC class devices.

"active" means any apps that install and run resident when the OS loads, today plugins, things that install fonts, etc.

You can load "single use" programs all you want on the storage card without issues because after you close (not minimize) them, they leave nothing running resident.

The short reason for this is when the device "wakes up" and refreshes or calls those programs, the hardware that powers up/down the storage card hasn't done it's refresh and fully powered up that part of the hardware.

As a long time PPC user, this has been the cause of many unexplained lockups.

I'm not saying this is guaranteed the cause, but I've not had a single overnight lockup with any charger I use.
