MomLady, I live in Colorado and whenever I go to San Francisco or Puerto Vallarta, my Z22 freezes, too. In a warm pants pocket in Colorado it'll freeze, too. Have you found any solution? Jim

This just hints to the fact that the freezing is a hardware issue (badly seated heatsink for example) and not a software issue. I've noticed it freezes a lot more on hot sunny days.

I got it for my husband. The only game he plays is online poker and he never had an issue of freezing up. I've played solitaire on his tablet on occasion and it didn't freeze up either.

Every once in awhile my tablet would freeze, but only after a significant amount of constant use. Does this person have alot of apps downloaded? There may be a virus or it also could be the internet signal. Can you tell me more about the specific of what its doing and the problem? I may be able to try to help. Cathleen Garcia

We use Palms here in our medical offices, primarily for Epocrates (and we use Windows). We have purchased some HP iPAQs, but I hate it so much I'm going to by the TX with my CME funds.

I use it on my surface pro 2. It registers about an inch up. I don't have any palm issues.

Yes, it worked for me. My son had the same problem, and when leappad sent us the updated file as a download it corrected the freezing. Good luck :-)

I had the same problem. I removed and reloaded the software and haven't had a problem. Hope this helps.Joe

Yes, I've had it happen a couple of times. I was able to get it back to normal by pressing the "ESC" key (i.e. holding down the hardware keyboard button). Hopefully some future driver updates, etc. will fix this.

You should be able to go on line and download for free. Check under Palm One downloads.

I'm having this problem as well, after a few months of use. Anyone have a solution?

Hi Doug, I've been using the cradle, which comes with it, to transfer all data between the desktop and the Palm Handheld for years! It worked fine until one of the more recent Microsoft Operating systems gave me trouble, for which I searched and found an update to make it work. That said, I very recently upgraded to Windows 8 and with it I can not do a transfer from the Palm to the desktop of the computer. Before you buy one, wait until either Hewlett Packard (Palm.com) or someone privately shares how to use it with Windows 8. We have to admit, this model (m500) is getting old.

I had problems too but my IT person downloaded software from the Palm site and it works now.

Yes, running in desktop mode. I did not test win8 touch mode as I don't have a touch screen.

Well - one cal load the Palm application on Windows and access the database from your desktop - and update periodically from changes initiated on your Palm. However, in my experience the data transfer is one way - from Palm to desktop application but not from desktop to Palm. Do not rely on my observations to make any big decisions.

Take out the battery and re-install it again. It works for me when my phone freezes. Lmk

I had the same problem. I disabled the drag feature of the elan touchpad and then downloaded touchfreeze - freeware that seems to have fixed the problem.
