Should I give up on using the hermes?

[rockyV]

Hi,
I have had PDAs for over 10 years, all of which have untill recently been Palms. 2 months ago I bought a X01HT and since then it has taken over my life, I am spending way too much time reading forums and upgrading, probably on average over 3 hours a day. I can not get any work done. maybe I'm stupid, I don't know, all I want is a working device and my device after many upgrades and roms is not reliable, it crashes 5 times a day, I've missed important calls and MMSs and lost important files. What should I do? am I missing somethin

Any hints would be greatly appreciated, I just don't know where to start

Currently using LVSW not the latest but about a week old, with the Japanese addons suggested on the forums, and a basic selection of software that all have been noted as being used by someone else without problems (nothing strange) have also tried black 2 and 3 with the same amount of phone throwing success ( I haven't thrown it, or misstreated it in any way, although I have wanted to)

I don't want to miss out on the endless possibilities that PPC has over the Palm but I may just have to go back to Palm so I can get my life back

thanks for the link I did the things you suggested and reformated my SD card and uninstalled Spb pocket plus and things seem much better, It has only been a day but not crashes so far, thankyou.

I am willing to help build a wiki and I know its going to be hard but is it possible to start a troubleshooting wiki? maybe with software issues with various ROMs, wireless issues etc? I realize it's going to be big and take some time but a general WM6 troubleshooting guide I think would possibly be more advantagous than searching through 100s of pages of the forum with little success

Thanks all for making this place what it is, the difinative source for making our PDAs more helpfull to our lives

You don't sound stupid. You sound dedicated.

My suggestion.... Send your Hermes to me! :-)

I'm using the latest Black ROM, and had no problems so far. It is quite likely to be the add-ons and programs you have installed. Have you tried using clean ROMs or alternative programs?
