Re: [Opensync-users] OT: Reset Nokia 5800 Was: Did opensync kill mynokia 5800 ?

Thanks Achim, I actually found another source of the same information but it did not suggest, as yours did, that I remove the SIM card first. Thats a pretty good idea ! Not a problem in my case, it was all new so nothing I needed to keep. 
 
The hard reset worked, took phone back to factory conditions (apart from any user set lock code). 
 
I then tried opensync (et al) again, this time a little more informed of what I was doing. Its all working fine now. Valuable things I learn include - 
 
1. In Nokia S60 at least always set recvLimit (to, ie 10000). I believe the lack of that setting has two effects, firstly, sync fails and something on the PC goes into a loop using most of a cpu. I did not notice this at first in the GUI, it terminates cleanly and being a dual core box it was still responsive. The second thing I associate with the lack of the recvLimit is that it trashed the OS in my phone, will relate to the endless loop, perhaps a buffer overflow in the phone ? Anyway, setting recvLimit does no harm other than perhaps slowing down the transfer a bit. I suggest, play safe, set it ! 
 
2. A failed run does not seem to be something multisync can recover from. Clean out part or all of .opensync directory and start again ! 
 
There are a couple of phone/connection specific HowTos on the web site but I think that whats necessary is a general one that covers the common ideas and maybe mentions in line any differences between (eg) phones. If its regarded as a good idea, I'll have a first cut ....
