I have a T3 which has twice hard reset itself in the last 2 months.
I restored with my Backupman backup; which has worked well; however, when I
tried to start Agendus I got the Fatal Alert:
"DataMgr.c,Line:7399,DmWritemWriteCheck failed"
When I have opened the Calandar and Contacts databases, they seem to work
OK. When I restored from Backupman 2 months ago, I got the same error
message on trying to restart Agendus.
Can anyone give me a clue? Is this a corrupt database or is it to do with
Backupman or Agendus? Would reinstalling Agendus fix it?

PS As an aside, if anyone knows why my T3 has twice hard reset I would be
grateful to know. This last time I was using Tomtom GPS and ?? it drained
the battery (I know the Palm is meant to switch off before losing data). The
first time, it had hard reset when I switched it on in the morning.

I've had three occurrences of my T3 spontaneously draining its
battery when switched off, twice at night on the charger. My
Palm is set to turn off on the charger. It recharged ok
afterward. I sync it very frequently now. It's not just your
unit doing this. Someone said that he thought that having last
played Bejeweled drained his T3 overnight, but that was the case
only during my first occurrence.

I had the same problem recently: restored from BackupMan and got
DmWrite errors. It could be a problem with the PIM databases. Try
installing and running dbScan from:
http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/utilities.htm

In dbScan, I chose "Options->Remove All Deleted Records", then
clicked "PalmSource" at the dialog and the errors were fixed.

No idea why your T3 is hard resetting though, sorry.
