Third-party applications CHAPTER 10
Third-party applications
Sometimes, third-party applications can cause conflicts on your
smartphone. Third-party applications that modify wireless features may
affect your smartphone’s performance and may require extra
troubleshooting. Use caution when installing the following types of
applications:
• Ringtone managers
• Caller ID applications
• Instant messaging
• Applications that modify when your phone or data connections turn
on or off and how your phone behaves
If you recently installed an application and your smartphone seems to
be stuck, try the following:
1. Perform a soft reset (see “Performing a soft reset” on page 197).
2. Make sure the third-party application is compatible with the
Windows Mobile version 5.0.2. operating system on your
smartphone.
3. Delete the most recently installed application from your
smartphone (see “Removing applications” on page 147).
4. If the problem persists, perform another soft reset.
5. If possible, synchronize or use a backup utility to back up your most
recent info.
6. Perform a hard reset (see “Performing a hard reset” on page 198).

strange behavior or
errors in these
applications if you use
