Ok. Here goes. I'll probably get voted off the site, but I'm going back to Avantgo. I've been spending some time working with Plucker on my TX and I'm not diggin it. It resets the Palm all the time! I've tried all the fixes and settings that people have suggested and it won't stabilize Plucker. Weird. It looks like great software and when teamed up with Sunrise, makes a great combo. I scheduled a bunch of RSS feeds to update before I got to work so when I sync'd in the morning, I got fresh feeds. But when sittin' on the can and perusing my news clips, I can't. The TX just resets. Unreliable.

-I tried uninstalling/reinstalling (with soft/warm resets inbetween)
-Used 1.8 version of Plucker and also tried the "up to the day" version of Plucker but lost some functionality with the beta version.
-Tried "Clean Plckr"
-Tried different RSS/news feeds. It does it on any feed.

I originally wanted to get this working on my Mac, but Sunrise has problems on OSX systems still. It worked most of the time, but sometimes would fail and would always lock up when trying to close the app.

Is it wrong that I want software that works every time and doesn't crash my Palm or lock up on my Mac? It would also be nice if I could update the feeds wirelessly from my Palm. Sometimes I'll be in a cafe or at home and with Avantgo, I can update all the feeds then head back on the road and read them later offline. Pretty handy.

I'll deal with the ads and crap from Avantgo. At least it won't reset my Palm. Am I the only one experiencing resets now with a TX and if so, anyone have any ideas/fixes to try? I'm still wishing it worked and will keep trying.
