Hi,
When I try to soft reset my ipaq 3760 it performs a hard reset. I
don't push the reset button too long, even when I perform a soft reset
command using Itask, a hard reset is performed.
I am developing an application for the pocket pc and it 'hangs'
regularly, so it is very annoying to have to do a hard reset each
time. Ihave to calibrate the screen again, set the time zone, create a
new partnership and download the compact framework all over again,
this takes a lot of time! Does anyone know how to solve this?

Your application is probably compromising the integrity of the PDA's OS,
e.g. by writing to a wrong memory address or by branching to such an
address.
Note that PDA Operating Systems are in general more vulnerable to such
errors because of hardware compromises favoring low power and small size.
You should test new SW e.g. on a PDA simulator, which can signal bad
behavior.
Such a tool is normally expected in a serious SW development environment.

my application uses the serial port of the pda to communicate, and it
hangs when I start the application (and try to open the port) when data
is already arriving over the serial line. I cannot test this using the
simulator
