O.k., here's the sitch...

My beloved 6035 has been f'd up for the past month and I am about to do something drastic.

Until a month ago, I had never done a single firmware update for the year and 3 months that I owned it. But I was at Verizon one day, asked if they had the latest firmware versions, they said yes, so I had them update it.

They updated the Palm part, the phone part and added 2-way SMS. "Great", I thought. Now the original bugs will finally be exterminated, etc.

Well, I got home, sync'ed my phone to get all my apps and data back in it and now anytime I try to use Eudora Mail or Eudora Web, it immediately locks up on me and I get an error.

I can use Blazer, SMS and all PQA's just fine, but anything with Eudora makes it crash.

I had been jonesin' for email, etc. for the past 4 weeks until I finally signed up for "Gopher King" and downloaded the PQA.
D@mn I love Gopher King!!!!!!!!!! But I would really like to be able to use Eudora Mail & Web again.

I probably shouldn't have updated the phone. It was virtually crashless for it's first 15 months until the update. But I do like the new SMS "Messages" app.

Has this happened to anybody else? Why the problem with Eudora? I have tried so many times to make this work, but no luck so far.

Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks,

awww 'kito.... sprint has a i300 waiting for you...

do you have the eudora 2.1 with ssl? did you do a cold boot without syncing the phone to the desktop and using the phone in the 'out of the box' state?

what message do you get on your screen? and what are you doing just before is happens?

we will get you back on the road 'kito~! :

Could be this problem.

No way, I have resisted for this long, now I am waiting for Godot or the Kyo 7035. Whichever arrives first.


My phone "info" says that I have version 2.1.1


I can't quite remember. I think so, but not sure.


Eudora Mail: When I tap on any mail, it crashes and I get...
Fatal Alert: DataMgr.c, Line:7025, DmWrite: DmWriteCheck failed"

Same exact error when I simply tap on the "Eudora Web" icon.

Alex,

Ooooooh, that sounds very similar to my prob. I will try it immediately. I'll report back soon.

Thanks so much,
~Mark
P.S. 'nixx thanks for your inquiring as well. You know that you're my pal.

Alex Matthews, you are a god!!!

I followed your advice: downloaded the free app. "Filez" at...

http://www.handango.com/PlatformProd...p;platformId=1

found "Eudora Scratchpad" on the list, deleted it and right then and there, my Eudora Mail &amp; Web crashing problems disappeared.

D@mn you have made me a happy guy again.

Thank you so much. Hopefully others in this situation will stumble across this thread and have the same happy outcome.

Thank you again,
~Markito

I ran into the problem when I first got the phone, and then after I updated the SX version. I put up the FAQ item, but someone else had provided the solution to me a while back. I'm glad it fixed your problem.

yeah, once i saw the error you got i rememebred this was covered already.. glad your back up and running!


by the by 'kito,... you never got FILEZ until now??? :

Nope. Surprising for me, eh? I know. I just never really felt I needed it until now. And boy did I need it!
~Markito

Yes!!!!!!!

Thanks Alex Matthews, you just solved my problem! I spent about two hours battling with Verizon to get this problem fixed to no avail. Two minutes on the forum and my phone's working again!

Thanks!
Ian

Wow, almost two years later and this thread is still helping people.
VERY cool.

Ya gotta love google!

Now if I can just fix my headphone jack, I can make my 6035 last until Verizon releases the T600 or a BT phone....

Thanks again!
Ian

Hey,like its said--- 6035 still got it baby!!! I love my 6035. when my i700 sneezes I activate my 6035 and off I go. This puppy has never let me down. When you hold it doesn't it make you warm and fuzzy? you didn't have FileZ? oh my I would have kept that as a secret

Funny it worked.....the last time!!Now I am not sure what was working before they put a hole in my head!!!!

hahah EQ.. FILEZ has been known for years now buddy! a very cool proggie for the 6035!!

That was way back in the days, but yeah, maybe I should have kept that on the downlow.

I've got a 6035 coming tomorrow for the husband. He's currently got a crappy audiovox phone that just doesn't cut it.
after reading these posts, should I get it upgraded right away to whatever the newest firmware version? Or leave it at whatever version it's got when it gets here?

Thanks!

hi, ya update, i assume you didn't buy it new, so you'll have to get it programmed anyway if you use a different phone company than it's setup for. apparently the phone company that has this eudora issue includes an application update that doesn't agree with the ancient Palm os in your phone, great phone though, mine still works, but it's a paper weight atm, good back up though

Oh thank heavens! A probable solution to this headache!

After WAY too long of a google session, I found this thread!

I have only a vague notion of problems with Eudora Web before jumping to Xiino years ago and never looking back. And I never used Eudora mail - too much of a headache on the memory limited 6035! I've just used web email for on the go access.

Hmm. Now to find a version of FileZ that works with the 6035 - supposedly the latest version 6.8.3 is compatible (Palm OS 3.0 and up). I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I can hardly wait to get home and try it!

Thank you to many folks:
- For those sharing info like this,
And
- To those keeping up a site to make it available in time of need (even YEARS latter!).

Here it is, June 2007 and deleting Eudora Scratchpad has also made me a VERY happy 7135 user. I refuse to give up!

Many thanks to those for keeping these threads active. And some of us old swimmers are still around too!
