Ever had this problem when trying to install your app?  Hotsync proceeds normally,

 "Cleaning up..."
 (shown on palm screen)

The hotsync app on the PC has finished, but the palm sits forever.

All I can think is I've been adding some bitmaps to it.  Runs fine in simulator, 
usually runs great on Tungsten T - suddenly it won't sync.  :huh?:

Do I get called during installation or something?  :hrmm:  :(

Thanks in advance!

Hi Gary,

It could be ANY app on your device that responds to the 'sysAppLaunchCmdSyncNotify' notification (or the like). When you press the hotscynh button that code will be transmitted to all apps, and some apps (those that have been programmed to) will do something with it. While doing that 'something', if the app gets into a continuous loop (like it is iterating through bitmaps in a resource db, but the programmer forgot to increment a counter) the device will just display the 'Cleaning up' message until the battery runs out, or you reset. See if your app does anything upon synch, and, if so, temporarily disable that code and see if the synch problem goes away. Bob.
