[pilot-db-list] Hard Reset: DB 1.3.0

[Steve F. <sfr...@tr...>]

Ouch. Had to do a hard reset to recover.  I was creating a file and
tried to save it.  The fatal exception, reset dialog came up and the
palm froze. Tapping the palm icons had no effect.  So, I used the soft
reset option by sticking the stylus pen into the reset hole on the back.
 The palm responded by continually flashing the initial palm screen off
and on.  Hitting the power button had no effect.  Finally did a hard
reset.

This was not the first database I created while in 1.3.0, and I can't
think of anything different that I did.  The database was a simple one
with only a few string fields.

Ok i look that perhaps it's the same trouble with the stop application.
Thank you, and sorry for the trouble but it's a beta version and i hadn't this trouble on my device (i created databases with this version).

I think there is some memory trouble with some devices.  I think it's not general for every people.
This trouble is my priority.
Salut,
Marc.

Too late to help you but are you aware of the third kind of 
reset?

Soft reset reboots the PalmOS and calls all apps with a message 
indicating that.

Warm reset reboots the PalmOS and does NOT call all apps.

Hard reset clears memory and reboots the PalmOS.

This is documented at the Palm site but a google search only 
turned up this:  http://www.epinions.com/content_6479842948

[pilot-db-list] Grayscale support

[Meino C. C. <mccramer@s.netic.de>]

Hi,

 there are some devices out there, which are able to display in
 grayscale mode but using this is a pain, cause optimal contrast
 settings is different for b/w and grayscale and for any "grayscaled"
 application. Furthermore batteries are getting empty quite faster
 using grayscale.

 I would appreciate it very much, if there could be a
 option like "forced black and white" in db to ignore
 the grayscale capabilities of the OS.

 Thank you very much!

   keep hacking the right site of life ! :-)

I had a problem like that once. It didn't occur while running
DB though. It happened when I was deleting a DB database
using a file manager application (I was one of those people
who didn't read the DB documentation properly and couldn't
figure out right away how to delete a database within DB itself ;-)

The Palm seemed to be stuck in the deletion and didn't come
back for several minutes. I finally grew impations and did a soft
reset. Then all hell broke lose and I got the flashing screen
situation you are describing. The only way out was a hard reset :(

I'm not sure if that has anything to do with your problem, but
I guess that this kind of behaviour is pretty uncommon, so
I thought I'd mention it.

Cheers,
	Oliver
