SAME problem! UGH! What I have found is that the unit appears to be "running" but with the screen off. I have to do a soft reset to get it back. The reason I know it is running is because if I let it go for a number of hours, when I turn it on the battery is WAY down. Yesterday it ran down completely. I run:

Laridian
Dashboard
Calligraher
PI
VNC
WLAN for Linksys (beta version)
Startap
GIgabar

What I am going to do is hard reset my device, since I still have my Jornada, and not load any applications. I'll run it for a while to see if I can find the problem. If no problem exists, I'll add applications over time. This is CRAZY. If anyone knows what the fix is, please post or e-mail me directly. This is NUTS!

Thanks all,
DaveR

Dave,

We are having the exact same problem. The only two apps we have in common though are PI And Calligrapher.

I know exactly what you mean. It's like the PPC is stuck on a process but the screen just turns off. After a soft reset, the battery level is way low. It's gotta be something! What build are you on? I'm on version 4.20.1081 (build 13100).

[drosenth]

Sparkomatic,

My build is 4.20.1081 (build 13100) - identical to yours.

After re-reading the first couple of posts, it looks like a hard-reset won't help. It will most likely do it w/o any applications loaded. I will still try it, but I don't have a lot of hope.

My unit was received directly from HP, so I am going to contact my representative and work it from the inside as well. I cannot believe this is happening - NOT GOOD!

Hang in there and keep us posted,
DaveR

Hi
I lost all my data when the 2215 with this bug - only have TOM TOM GPS installed - must be this. As ypou report the unit runs discharging the batt with the screen off until reset.
TomTom big dissapointment (No UK postrcodes) wish id have got the navman.

hmmm... I too have pi (build 04.20.13100) and Calligraher(build 6.135.0811) installed, maybe it could be these progs what are causing the probs..
Theres no way its the 2210 because this is my 3rd because the 1 I got yesterday had a few dead pixels, so I got it changed, this 1 appears to be ok even though still has the same bug, as in wont turn on unless reset sometimes. Plus have you noticed how pi can sometimes freeze the 2210!!

lol no sooner do I check the build No's, when it freezes after turning the screen off, requiring a reset lol :lol:

I don't think it's the unit either because this is my second one (the first had a bad pixel). Maybe it is PI or Calligrapher? Once again last night, it did the same thing and completely drained the battery. This is the third time it's done this. :evil: I have to make sure I always charge it at night to avoid running the battery completely down.

PI 4.5.10 (POOM v 04.20.13100)
Calligrapher 6.5.2 (Build 6.131.0620)

Maybe it's a combo of the two??

[busterz]

:wink: sorted :wink:

Its pocket informant, its causing the lockups when going into standby, I ran it 8 times let the 2210 go into standby froze 3 times..

I also ran Calligrapher 8 times also same test , everytime came out of standby ok :lol:

[Sparkomatic]

How about when you run PI and turn off the PPC manually without letting it go into standby? Just curious. I don't think it's ever locked-up on me when I manually power off, only when let it go into standby.

[busterz]

Think what would happen if you had input a fair amount of data in PI, only to leave it for a bit , maybe because some1 wanted you or ? by the time you got back to it standby and all that data lost...

Think I would rather try something else,, pity though...
