Seriously...

[cat_daddy]

I posted a comment a while ago about allowing a steamroller to have its way with my PPC-6700.

I wasn't kidding.

If it weren't for the dent my wallet would take to replace or upgrade my Apache, then I would indeed make good on my ill intentions. So, for the time I'm relegated to figuring out a solution to the following problems:

1) Expanded memory slot ceases to function.
2) Phone application randomly decides to not allow me to answer a call
3) Data calls randomly disconnect
4) Comm manager freezes
5) IE randomly freezes
6) Message application display becomes garbled when switching between landscape and portrait and/or when displaying/closing touchscreen keypad
7) Goes with #3 - receive error(s) when reconnecting a data calls.

As each problem occurs, a soft reset is the quick fix solution. As each problem's occurence becomes more frequent - hard reset and reload.

I constantly check/kill running programs. I constantly ensure the on-board memory isn't an issue. And, for a majority of the time, the memory and/or number of programs running is not an issue. I suspect my problems are completely due to Windows Mobile.

I love this Apache, when it works.

Help.

Doesn't Qwest have an insurance plan?

What version of WinMo are you running? What version of the Bootloader? What version of the radio?

[cat_daddy]

Ok let's see...

Windows Mobile 5.0 (build 14847.2.0.0)
Radio Version 1.12.00
Bootloader ??? v2.02 ???
Software Version 2.06.00 WWE


Qwest does have a warranty on the phone and I have additional insurance. I've squawked to Qwest before about these problems, and received a replacement. The exact same problems began occurring a week out of the box. I called and squawked again (demanding a non-existant FW upgrade) and they just wanted to send me another Apache.

I've searched the Apache forums, and really haven't seen discussions/solutions to the problems I'm having. I really don't understand how I can be experiencing these problems - with two diff Apaches - while everyone else is seemingly trucking right along.

Ok, sounds great... But - forgive my ignorance - WTF is Kitchen's?!?!? I've had this question in my head for about a month (whilst searching this forum and google'd), and have yet to find a thread that adequately explains this "kitchen".

Look in the upgrade sub-forum - it's 99% about the WM6 kitchen.

All of your problems are notorious for stock WM5.
