Palm… issues.
My Palm Tungsten T3 is pretty much my gateway to the world when I'm at work, and my backup brain when I'm not at work, remembering birthdays and addresses for me. Lately, I've been feeling cut off from the world and suffering from mild amnesia. My T3 has been very… stupid.
About a week ago this started. it would crash, I'd reset it by hand (which is odd, because I have a program called "crash" that's supposed to automatically restart it in the event of a crash…) all would be happy. This about 2 days ago it got remarkably worse. A reset wouldn't fix anything. I got frustrated and put the thing down on my desk. A few minutes later, I notice a white screen. I try and reset, and it went back to the "Palm Powered" boot up screen, and hung. And then the image starts to fade back to white. I try the dreaded hard reset, and it takes me back to the "Palm Powered" screen, and hangs again. I did some googling and found nothing that seemed to fit. (Part of the reason I'm writing this is to help some other poor sap who runs into this same problem) About when I'm ready to give up, it resets. All my memory is lost, but it starts working again. I restore from a recent backup (woohoo, SD cards!) and carried on with my life.
