Update #2 on the No Reboot Challenge

August 26, 2008 10:30 am By 4 Comments

First off, I want to welcome Dieter Bohn from WMExperts to the No Reboot Challenge. It’s great to see others giving it a go and seeing how long they can run without having to reboot. For me, it’s been 7 days and things are going very well. I did see some weirdness this morning when I awoke, I noticed that I didn’t have the standard SPAM in my inbox, so I figured there was something going on. When I attempted to do a sync it failed. I then attempted to pull up a couple web sites and they failed too. This is either a problem with the device or the carrier. Next step was to disable the data network and then reestablish a connection and the pages still failed to load. So, if felt to me like a carrier problem. I put the phone down and started my regular morning routine. When I picked up the phone 30 minutes later the internet was up and running again. So it doesn’t look like it was anything to do with my device. Just my carrier playing games with me. Isn’t that nice of them? ;)

And for those keeping count; my first update was made to the original post. From now on I think I will just make a new post on the site. It makes it easier for everyone to follow along in their RSS clients. :)

    WMExperts reader: I can’t believe you have to pull off the battery door to hit that reset hole on the Treo Pro
    Dieter: Hm, maybe iI can reach it without pulling the door off. Hm Hm. Yes! I can. Sweet.

    What? You mean…. You actually reset your phone by accident!? Oh, that sucks!

    My Blackjack was unresponsive this morning. I had plugged it in to recharge last night, and for some reason, the thing was “dead” this morning. After removing the battery, it started up fine. It only had a half charge, so I suspect it didn’t really charge at all. It had been running for about 2 weeks.

    Sounds like the power might not have been fully connected. Regardless, you should really get that device upgraded to an official ROM. It’s been available for a while now. ;)
