Software Issues - Use Caution When Installing These!
I thought I'd start a little thread of software that does not work properly on the 6135. If anyone has any know issues with software that may make our 6135's act badly, please post them here.
Thanks.
Issue: JS Landscape will not allow device to reboot after installing and trying to use landscape mode.

Ascii stupid question, get a stupid Ansi.
Gotta admit, it's a far cry from the old 2002 on the i700. So far the only things I'm watching are Journal Bar and SPB Pocket Plus... I think they may cause the occasional lockup, but only a guess.
Unfortunately I think Pocket Plus is acting up on me as well. I hope SPB gets a patch or fix soon. The phone will not recognize a call when the lockup occurs. So for the time being I have removed Pocket Plus. Umm edit here... Not just Pocket Plus but possibly also PItoday Plug in. Nothing like living on the bleeding edge. Edit again...
I previously posted a problem with the 6315 not waking up after I pressed the power button to lock the device. After two days of testing the culprit was Calligrapher 7.3. I removed this program Friday morning and the device has run perfectly since.

Worldmate Pros' today screen module slows the todays screen so much, that the iPaq gets confused when receiving a call while in suspend mode, and upon "waking up" to process the incoming call, the unit can lock up. You can keep Worldmate, just disable its display in the today screen.
Caligrapher 7.3 . . often causes it to die when coming back from standby.
Also, make sure you don't have any program that's trying to go out on the network while in standby. I tested this several times having it check my email automatically. If I have it checking every 15-20 minutes, it hangs *constantly*. You even need to be wary if it takes a long time for your mail to get checked. If you start checking it, and it goes into standby before it's done? It hangs.
As long as your GPRS connection is idle, it seems ok.
So, I removed any apps that go out on GPRS by themselves as well as Calligrapher and everything is super stable now.
Between Journal Bar, Calligrapher, and email, when I first got my phone I had to reset several times a day. Totally fine now.
Another one...Wingdings, comicBD font in the windows directory will cause your screen display to go out of wack. For me it is the brightness option. The fonts get garbled.
Hmm. I'm a pda newbie. Was I naive when I downloaded MS Voice Command (v1.01.4060.0) from handango and expected it to work fine on my h6315?
Most commands do work, such as Start Calendar. And when I give a Call command, it does find the right stuff in Contacts, correctly asking me for verification. But when I give a Dial or Call command, when it comes right down to interacting with the phone, nothing happens.

Originally posted by EvilHomer Can you post your mic settings used for VC? Mine is working ok, but I haven't found the "sweet spot" yet. Thanks.
I must have been lucky because I just loaded MS VC and didn't change anything. I just checked and the MIC has AGC enabled and I switched that to disabled. I've tried it that way and it is working also. The one thing I've noticed since switching from the I-Mate to the 6315 is that I must now wait before speaking otherwise it misses what I'm saying. That has to be because the 6315 is just a slower machine than the I-mate. You might want to try waiting a tad before starting to speak.

Good point. I did notice that difference. Not too distracting, just need a pause in between enabling VC and actually speaking or it will miss the command or only get the last part of it.
Ive read quite a few posts about Pocket Plus causing lockups but Ive run it without lockup for 10 days. Look elsewhere or be sure youre running version 2.1

I'm running version 2.1 and its causing lockups on my 6315. I tried doing a hard reset and then adding in third party apps one by one until I found the problem and it was SPB PocketPlus and the scenario was repeatable. I left it on anyone because I love pocketplus and can't find anything to replace the handy today screen icons (selected by me).
So far the only things I'm watching are Journal Bar and SPB Pocket Plus... I think they may cause the occasional lockup, but only a guess.

Edit again...
