good question
the buggy Os makes it hang.
a Rom upgrade should solve the problem.

T300,

There are lots of things that can make your pda hang, probably too many to go into. I will try and give you the principal areas you need to address, which come from my own experience coupled to tons of reading on here.

1) Activesync - This has a habit of running all the time and is a prime cause of lockups. Use the fake server solution to solve that problem (search on here for it using google search. I will give you the google search link in a minute).

2) Software incompatibilities - You need to make absolutely sure that if you are running WM6, your apps are the latest version capable of running under WM6. I have had a lot of problems trying to run WM5 apps under WM6.

3) Battery and power locks - Make sure that all system locks are disabled. For example you can set your system to turn of the LCD screen or power of after a period of time. Make sure all of these are inactive/not set. If you want to turn your screen off then lighty touch your power switch and it will do the job for you. Touch it again and your pda springs into life; simple. You can use the device lock option on the today screen if you need to lock your screen with the pda on; no problems with this option.

4) Programmes running in the background - I strongly suggest that you set your pda to completely close down any programmes after you have run them, rather than minimise. Use the task manager option to sort this out or install the htc x-button app (search on here for that also).

5) Beams and Wifi - Make sure these are turned off unless you need to use them. Switch them off as soon as you have finished with them. Benefits are improved battery life and less freezes.

6) Inappropriate themes - Not all themes work happily with WM6. Some do lock up your machine. Keep it simple; load a standard WM6 theme that you know works and leave it at that.

There's more, but this should give you something to work on. I will add to this post as I remember other things.

Let us know how you get on. Google search for XA is:
