Tungsten T Resets when stylus is left touching screen

My Tungsten T automatically resets if I leave the stylus touching the character area (or sometimes the number entry area) of the screen. Sometimes all it takes is for me to leave the styles resting on the surface for say 3 or 4 seconds.

I have all of the Palm patches installed and it still does this. Does anyone have an idea of what is happening and how I can prevent this from happening?

Thanks
 
The obvious answer is to not leave it touching the screen for that length of time.

On a serious note: the T's digitizer had/has issues and this is one that's probably going to require a replacement....or upgrade to something else because it's no longer underwarranty.

I don't know of any program that would or should cause this but some of the other's might have heard of such a program.

Doesn't sound good though.
 
Is this permanant or intermittant?

Please do the following to warm reset your Palm, and then see if it still resets in the same way.

Hold the "up" key while doing a soft reset. Your Palm should reset extra fast. See if the problem has gone. Then exit this mode by doing a normal soft-reset.

If the problem doesn't exist after a warm reset, then it would seem some kind of system-extension is causing the problem. (This would mean the culprit is a program you have installed).

iiicRules:

I followed your advice and the problem does not occur after the warm reset but reappears after the normal soft-reset.

Any advice on finding which system extension or program is causing the problem (other than uninstalling the programs and loading them back one by one)?

The easiest way might be if you could list programs installed on your pda, then we could suggest possible culprits.
If you don't already have Filez, install it from here:
www.nosleep.net
Then go into the RAM file list, and go to "Options" on the menu. Press "Send list to memo". Then sync your Pda, open up that memo on the desktop and copy and paste the memo onto a message in this thread.

I just remembered a program Jim mentioned:
http://www.freewarepalm.com/utilities/crash.shtml
If you enable it, it should be able to log what causes crashes, but I have a feeling the logging only functions in the pro version... But it may still tell you what caused the crash, even if it doesn't log it. I've not used it though so I don't know.... You may like to give it a try.
