Hi

Im noticing that the xdaII tends to lockup more often than the xda1.
Often if i try and switch it on with the power key, nothing happens. Need to soft reboot it.

Other times, the menus and actions go very slow. Other times, the contacts wont display, now matter how often the contact button is pressed.

any thoughts?

I have noticed a few locks usually when trying to end a phone call....just doesn't respond and needs a soft-reset.

It also sometimes takes AGES to power on or get to the bluetooth screen...

Better than XDA1 though!

Same here, and when someone tries to call me, it seems to me that the Phone does not react on an incoming call too. I've just tried it when i found my Qtek 2020 locked again. I can't put it on, but both blue and yellow leds are flashing. I called myself again, but it does not respond. This is definetely NOT good ! I had some complaints already that i couldn't be reached, I did not realise it's the device !! It works fine after a reset but it happend a few times already, without notice. This is something that really bothers me. Any ideas?

the device, as configured, has too many running processes.
Microsoft had the wisdom to limit the PPC to 32 processes.
After that, it removes some of them... which can crash the system.

You should remove some of the \window\startup applications,
most likely the sim manager, backpack, and the xflashman.exe
apps which auto-backup the contacts/appointments.

this was discussed on ppcw.net ... and has certainly cleared most of my problems.

I still see the phone not receieving a call while GPRS is active,
e.g. when it checks for my email while someone tries to call.
Anyone else can confirm this?
1. connect to GPRS
1. start IE for a large page via GRPS
2. call yourself from a land line while IE is loading
