Is it possible to write a hack f=FCr Palm OS 4 that will reset the Palm
when it starts to consum too much battery?

Reason: The GSL Xplore G18 (also Zircon Z3) smartphone has a bug. At
some point (after running for some hours) it starts sending continously
and will consume much more battery (and also produce more radiation).

Maybe it is somehow possible to recognize when that happens and then
either disconnecting and reconnecting the GSM phone or resetting the
device. Then it will work normal again.

See HackMaster, e.g.:

http://www.freewarepalm.com/utilities/utilities_hackmaster.shtml

Some hacks have been written which involve the battery monitor and
consumption. I have seen Palm application that have the power to reset the
handheld too.

Hope it helps,
