Doing my head in! help needed

[Guest mike-oh]

God i've been having fun with my SPV today(!)

The two alarm thing (or phantom alarm) has recently started cropping up. So after much a fuss i managed rename and delete the offending file(wouldn't sync afterwards but i eventually got it too). As expected all calendar appointments and contacts were lost so i did a sync with my PC. The two of them then combined in a conspiracy to p**s me off further and rather than copy the contacts, appointments, tasks etc to my SPV decided to wipe them from outlook! So i had to manually go through each of the deleted items in outlook and restore them, only to find half of them duplicated!!!

Anyhow i think i've got it sorted now, BUT (and isn't there always), now when i go to power management in the setting folder i get the battery status bar and where the other two options were i get "15000" and "2" where i can imput my own numeric value (it's the same after a power cycle too). What's this all about? Is it related to my earlier troubles. I'll have to look further now to see if anything else has gone base over apex sorta speak.

I can feel a hard reset coming on but that'l mean re-decerting and installing stuff all over again and i really can't be arsed cos i should be revising!

Cheers

Mike

This look familiar anyone? It won't let me enter any values, just brings up "ERROR: the settings could not be saved"

I had the same thing happen to me a month or so ago. Here's what happened to me,

my phone was fine de-certed and everything, then i went to send an text message and i couldn't. Apparently this, after doing a search through the board and a couple of posts it is highly likely the cause of the SMS problem is due to a dodgy DE-CERT. So i done a hard resert/de-cert and everything was fine, well until i went to do some tweaks in power managment and i saw the same as your seeing. Also the folders were all over the place with some missing. I also had a lot of trouble syncing.

Unfortunately the only way i overcame this was to do ANOTHER hard recert but this time i used the DE-CERT software, rather than doing it manually.

Sorry, i know my post doesn't help but for what it's worth it looks almost the same as what happened to me.

Thanks for the feedback, it's nice to know i'm not alone. Sounds like a similar problem but different causes then? I've had mine decerted for months now and no (well virtually no) problems. I did it the old fashioned copying way by copying the files across on booting. I just can't understand why deleting that file should affect the power management settings. Failing that, what else could i have done i wonder?

Either way i'm going to have to wait a couple of weeks. I don't need the hassle at the mo with exams and what not! I'll just grin and bear it.
