PocketStackz crash

[Bruno847]

Hi,
i am using PS for 3 weeks now, it is a great program. But there is an issue that keeps bothering me. I am using an MDA Pro with WM5 and nearly everytime after I acivate it after sleep mode, PS closes itself. When I restart it, i can't read japanese characters anymore. Trying to change the font is no use. After softreset everything works fine now. So I always need to make sure my MDA doesn't go to sleep mode or I have to Softreset it.

Hopefully someone may help me on that issue.

That programms which are installed on an SD-Card are automatically closed after standby seems to be a generell problem of WM5. WM5 seems to close pocketstackz not the right way so something gets corrupted. Maybe the developers are able to make an patch so I don't need to softreset my MDA everytime?

Thanks for the additional info!

Standby mode together with the SD-Card was also a problem for the first Pocket PC 2003 devices.
Almost all big manufactures had to release a new firmware to fix this standby specific problem.
I remember, I had to upgrade firmware on my Dell Axim in order to get PocketSzackz working more stable.
So, they might be a new firmware release for your device.

Best Regards,
Konstantin

This matter was although discussed in some other Forum. It seems to be "normal" for WM5. The only way seems to be a work around by the developer so that japanese signs after an "illegal" shot down of pocketstackz are still readable.

Here it what I found out:
The crash seems to happen only on MDA Pro, Qtek 9000 devices. After wake up of WM5 the SD-Card takes some time to be accessable. If in that time Pocketstackz ore some other programm is used, which is installed on the SD-Card it will crash. Some programms for WM5 are already adressing this problem and waiting till the sd-card is readable (like my MP3 Player). So is there any chance to get a patch for pocketstackz, so it waits when the sd-card is not readable? This problem is really annoying so it would be great, cause pocketstackz is really usefull to me.

greetings Bruno
