Windows Mobile Woes 4

The O2 XDA Pilot has a built-in FM radio, and I have just
used it to listen to a program.

No problem... until the program finished and I tried to turn
off the radio... and find that the FM Radio application is completely
unresponsive. I can't turn it off.

Fiddle, poke. Nothing. So I go to the list of running applications (so
easily found, under Settings / System / Memory / Running programs),
find the "FM Radio" and "Stop" it. Silence. Fine. Back to work.

Until a couple of minutes later, when the radio comes back on!

So it's back to the XDA and try to start the "FM Radio" application.
It won't start... but the sound stops!

Great. Just great! Back to work.

Until a couple of minutes later, when the radio comes back on AGAIN!

Try again. Same thing happens.

Bang head on table. Doesn't help.

Time for reset number 3, it seems.

Windows Mobile Woes 3

Now, I've had my second forced reset since upgrading to WM 6.

The other day I turned on my XDA Pilot and found that the left-hand
side of the screen was not touch sensitive. The device was locked,
and was displaying the big numeric keypad for me to enter my PIN.
The buttons on the right-hand side of the screen entered characters.
Those on the left did nothing. And nor did the "unlock" button (also
on the left). Which was a bit terminal, really.

So I was down to poking the reset button.

After the reset, everything was fine. So, no hardware problem...

So, that's two resets in just on six weeks. Suggesting that WM6 is
in fact no better than WM5.
