help please! weird startup =S

[foxy218]

hey people, im pretty new on here, but had my wizard for a while now, no problems with it, but the other day, it froze, so i did a soft reset as ya do, poked the button, and waited for it to load the O/S. I left it for 8 hours, and kept resetting it again and again. But it kept freezing on the windows mobile splash screen. By luck ive got it working again, i plugged it into my mains charger, and for some reason it loads up no problem. It will not load if plugged into USB, or by internal battery. When it freezes, the green light flashes, as if its working fine.

Another thing, when its not plugged in, the O/S number and other numbers on the first O2 splash screen take longer to show up as when its plugged in to the wall and does load.

Anyone got any ideas why its doing this?
Just annoying when im not at home, and it happens to crash, cant turn it on again =(

Cheers!
Foxy =)

First, while you have it hooked to the mains charger, download and run ClearTemp (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-cleartemp-v1-0.html), to clear out your hard drive of unwanted and unnecessary files. All that rebooting and freezing could be symptomatic of a full drive. Lastly, move your personal information to an SD card with DotFred's PIM Backup (http://www.dotfred.net/), and do a hard reset to really scrub the memory on the phone, then reinstall your data afterward.


If that fails to produce the desired results, try getting your hands on a new battery and see if that doesn't solve your problems...Seem to be a lot of folks with battery failures these days. Must be end-of life on the original hardware (which, to be fair, is about four years ago...unheard of in the current technology climate).
