There are issues with every new OS, and this one is a significant change, to the point that many apps need tweaking before running right. My Jasjar and K-Jam run fine, with many of the items that folks have implicated as the problem, or a contributor. I also have a Dell X50v that I have not upgraded. Don't really trust Dell to have gotton that right the first time, based on previous Dell upgrades. But, heaven help Dell if they had said that they weren't going to upgrade the unit, because the felt it wasn't going to work right. The BS flag would have been flying high.

The is NOT a problem w/ teh HP hx2495, and i'd assume the same goes for the hx2795.

I have this problem with my hx2495. I have the EXACT same problem that all the hx1955 people are having. The fix (temporary) for me was to remove the SD card and not use it. I was using a Sandisk 1GB Ultra II card if that makes any difference, but I certainly had the problem with hx2495. And have not had any issues with it since not using the card....

Many of the people complaining of these symptoms over at Aximsite have a high capacity/high speed memory card (1 GB 60x or more). I bet bad drivers is the main issue. Most people with small, slower, or no memory cards do not experience these problems (or at least not nearly as often). ActiveSync trying to constantly sync may also be a contributor.

I was having this problem for a while too. I have a Dellx50 with 1 gig sd ultra 2.
When I pulled the battery and cleaned the contacts the problem dissapeared!
It was acting up for about a week prior to this, and hasn't reappeared for about 2 weeks as yet!

Has there been an update for this problem. My work is looking at getting a new dell x51 with WM5 and now I might tell them to hold off if the device is going to turn on by itself. I can't find updates on this issues any where? Is this the same on the new rz1955? Any new devices without the issue?

[robert_biggs]

It seems the problems with not turning on and battery drain go away if you set up an Exchange Server ActiveSync partnership on the device and set the sync schedule to manual. The partnership doesn't even have to be with a real server. It is neccessary to create a server partnership in order to change the sync schedule settings (otherwise the option is grayed-out).

Correct. This fix solved the issue with my Treo 700w not powering back up also, so it does indeed look like a WM2005 issue.
