My Ipaq 6515 crashes….SMS text messaging doesn’t work

My Ipaq 6515 went kaput well and truly….proper styleee!!

It required a hard reset after the GPS crashed.  It gave error ‘GPS blah blah stopped running’.

After the hard reset, I lost most of my data etc.  I decided to restore from backup.

When I did so, SMS Txt did not come up as an account I could access…

After much trawling on the net, I found people with similar problem and it was attributed to some error in the backup file.

So I did another hard reset, problem solved.  But I had to re-enter all my data etc.  It gave me a chance to re-install Tom Tom and ensure the Ipaq registry was totally clear so hopefully it will run OK.

I don’t recommend installing lots of programs…I just use Tom Tom and Resco file encrypter.  That’s it.

I also advise you to enter vital phone numbers via the SIM manager therefore it will be written to SIM card and an Ipaq crash won’t matter.

I also advise you to backup your ipaq regular and keep some of the old backup files.  Also, if you are going to install a new program, do an Ipaq backup first.
