Hi

I'have experienced this problem about 15 times, on all ROMs that i have tried.

When i'm in car and i insert my Imate Pda2k into the cradle, it perfoms an hardreset.

This problem happens about every 3 months, sometime 2 or 3 time in a day !

I have tried to change the charger, but problem still persist.
So i have opened the car charger connector and i have noticed that some pins connection were different from the original AC connector included with my PDA.

So i have reproduced the pinout connection on my car cradle connector, and i didn't experienced the problem for 3 months.

YESTERDAY, the problem happened again two times !!! so i don't think anymore that the problem is produced by an incorrect pinout of the connector....

PLEASE HELP ME !!! It's no funny to have random hardreset while you ara going around with your car (maybe with navigator).

Finally, someone else with this problem!
In my case, I only seem to get the problem if I have bluetooth on. It doesn't even seem to matter if the bluetooth is connected to another device or not.

Of course, I use bluetooth to connect to the GPS unit, so this is a big pain!

I'm using WM5, but when I downgraded again to WM2003 the problem stopped for abit and then came back. I find it strange how the problem went away for awhile but came back, along with the fact that using diffrent cable in my car didn't seem to fix the problem once it returned.

I can only think it's something with the firmware, but then it would be a problem in both WM2003 and WM5 firmwares.

It's a mistery.

yes.... it's a mystery

It's not a problem produced by applications, becuase i have experienced it, twice after an hard reset proced by the same problem.

maybe a car problem ??? i have a Peugeot 206 ? which car do you have ?
