I have a T-Mobile MDA that freezes with MP3 podcasts no matter what media player I use on it. It requires a soft reset. I've tried also a hard reset with no luck.
The podcasts I want to play are about 22MB. I am playing them from a 2GB storage card. At the time I want to play them I usually have about 25MB storage space and 18MB program space.
I'm wondering whether it is necessary to have enough program space on the device when I play the MP3. Is the whole file moved to the main storage from the storage card and then played from there? If that were the case I was thinking I could split the files in half, making them smaller to play.
The thing is that I never had these problems when I played the podcasts using the same setup on my IPAQ 4155. It worked perfectly. In fact, until I figure out this problem I am using the old IPAQ as an MP3 player and the MDA for everything else. I'm back to 2 devices which was the reason I got the MDA in the first place, to carry only one device for everything.
Does anyone have any experience with this or have any ideas for me? I would especially want to know if anyone has a similar setup with a MDA and is having no problems playing media on it. Because if my unit has a flaw, I would want to replace it while it is under warranty. I just got in at the beginning of January.
Thanks, Michele
