Right, where do I begin... Ok, best bet is to go point by point.
My troubles pretty much began when I got Handyday...
* When certain numbers in my phone book call or text I no longer have their names coming up - even though they are in my phone book!
* Their pics also do not pop up!
*After 3 rings a call is transfered directly to voice mail!
* At times, when I try to send a SMS nothing happens at all... after frantically hitting the SEND button I get a message saying that memory is full... thing is, it aint even close to being full!
* I can't close GPRS Data log!
* I'm sure there a few other faults but can't think of them right now...
I've tried switching the phone off - n on again... to no luck.
I've updated a back up... to no luck.
I've re-entered names and telephone numbers... to no luck.
I've finally run outta ideas...
Any help much appreciated.

Need to reboot the phone to fix this. I got it 2 days ago and reboot was the only thing which helped. Not even flushing the memory with sman helped.
Hope someone else got an idea. This is nothing that can be solved with and update. I got R2F.

w.r.t. the memory full message, I find Opera eats memory big style. I don't know whether or not it has a memory leak but it certainly seems to like running on its own. If you use Opera, make sure its closed down and see if it helps at all. |

Sounds like you should use tracker.... I used handyday trial for a few days and really didnt like it.
Then i tried out tracker... it is far better, haven't had any problems with it what so ever!
My advice, uninstall handyday, then restore your phones memory with one of your old back ups then have a look at tracker. |

I'd wager that most if not all those problems are unrelated to HandyDay and think it's a coincindence, though of course I could be wrong... one thing about the data log - is your GPRS set to never timeout? That might cause it to always keep the log open.
I used HandyDay, then bought the new Tracker and have since gone back to HandyDay. IMHO Tracker is a useless program. The Today view is bogus and confusing, my phone stopped checking email automatically with Tracker, and the Applications desktop - well, why?
That's just my HO. But objectivly, Tracker is useless. If you use your p800 for work and need a good Today screen, HandyDay is the way to go. If you're a gadget nerd and like to stare at icons, then go with Tracker. |

I got this problem too but i dont have handy day or tracker. l got the memory full message while texting my bro and his name and picture never swowed up but it was alright with all other contacts so i deleted and the re-created my bro's contact. This solved the problem.

Tracker is a must. it has everythin that handy day +.
Only to close the GPRS log is grab tracker, this will give you the option to 'kill' the process. just closes stuborn apps.
The problem with the msgs is that most apps stay open in the background when you close them.
Since i downloaded tracker and began closing these i have havent had the problem and i'm only using the trial version. |

If you're getting the memory full when sending a SMS it's possible that your phone is setup to save the SMS to the SIM instead of saving them to the phone. |

@teg
My SMS goes right into the phone and are not saved on the SIM. How do you setup so that they are sent to the SIM instead? I didn't see such an option when browsing the phones different settings.

suppose that depends on the user.
For me it really helps. all the shortcuts i need, a quicker option for closing instead of waiting at least 1 min (and you dont need to use a code to re open), the clock on screen is mistery why SE didnt have it standard, and the 'close app' option has doubled my battery by removing the background apps left open when you close them.
I much prefer it to handy day. |

I've got a trial of Handy Day and think its great... I HAD a trial of Tracker...and deleted it!
And funnily enough, the thing I found most annoying on tracker was that when it was on screen lock you couldnt see the time!!! Stupid, I know, but that was the last straw. Besides, I also didnt need a 100 applications available to me at once!
BUT, the trouble I found with both TRACKER and HANDYDAY was that when the screen lock is off or on (with the flip removed), and the phone is in your bag, pocket, or wherever else you may keep it, because the screen is touch sensitive all over, even the slightest contact the screen has with the inside of pocket, bag etc causes the light to come on - this in turn runs your battery out in a matter of hours (as I found to my cost just a few weeks ago!)
Since then, I leave the normal keypad lock on (still with flip removed)
Anyways, seems like we've all drifted off the main topic, but I will try removing the dodgy entries and re-enter them tonite. Hopefully this will combat the fault of friends ID not showing on screen... |

Have you used 1.0 tracker or the new version? Because I didn't liked the 1.0 version but I bought the new one |

@mmsman: I bought tracker, but I'm still yet to get the code for it - it's almost been a month and my second install of tracker will expire soon 
I've asked them support questions, and they always reply, but whenever I ask for my code it seems to fall on deaf ears - I have asked persistently but there's nobody listening.
I might have to take it up with my CC company soon |
