this hard reset is based on a slack joint. You could test it, if you turn your PocketPC on, and tip on the cover, near the Display or the Battery. If the PDA make a reset, your Pocket PC need a repair.

I use e800 too and I switch them off manually. You are right. All used applications running in background. All of them are listed in “running” tab. Like I said you can switch them off manually singly or all of them with “select all” option.
