pda problems

[qwerty2]

Just wondering what kind of problems people have with their pdas out on run as had one where on delivery out their just walking normally on a street and a parcel tracked number comes up on my pda without me being near a parcel not in my hand but the parcel in the back of the van, now this has happened once or twice before, and when i check my items to deliver its always the first item on the pda to be delivered, just wondering how it comes up itself, so say on ur own frame the first street u normally deliver to has a parcel for someone on that street, but u might not necessarly go there first as u might go to the lapsing first, up comes out of nowhere a tracked parcel flashes up on ur screen and its not where u are at, I have had to turn off the pda to get rid off it as i havent got the parcel in my hand at the time as its for somewhere later and in the back of the van which i am not even near at the time but halfway down another loop, annoying but just wondering if anyone else has had similar strange pda issues or know why this would happen

The equipment is not fit for purpose.

I doubt there's anything better, I noticed EVRI drivers have to use their own phones the rest seem to use something very similar to our Zebra PDA's.

Used to work in Amazon distribution, they also use Zebra PDAs though I can't recall having as many problems with them as I did with RM's PDAs.

They’re not walking around for hours in rain,cold etc

well ur wrong topper gas as others have had the same issue with the odd yellow tracked number flashing up on screen not fit for purpose these pdas

If it's locked in your pocket it's impossible for anything to appear on the screen until it's unlocked, the software isn't the greatest but there's nothing wrong with the PDA's for the job we do.

why u keep refering to the pocket, its no in my pocket, its when im walking down the street with it in my hand, up pops a tracked number what part can u no understand, and why is that impossible? no parcel on me, just pops up a yellow tracked like u get when u scan one ur parcels but i dont have the parcel in my hand,somethings faulty there, and its always the first tracked from my delivery point screen not sure why it brings that one up but it does, bit like some people have said collections have dissapeared off the screen or cancelled without them doing anything,

Assuming you've scanned all your Tracked on to your duty then scanned the bar code for the duty to your core route all the Tracked parcels will be listed in the order of the frame, if you then accidentally click on the top item on the list it will be the first one you are due to deliver. Collections are a different.

Are you walking along with the screen activated ? If so that's the problem try turning it off you'll be fine

i literally just scanned a tracked gave it to a customer, submitted it, then another one just came up for a different address which happens to be the first one from the frame or im just walking with the pda in my hand and one tracked just comes on myself, i actually seen one as i was eating at my frame before i went out come up on my screen, only has happened maybe half a dozen times, but ive been using pdas for years and this is new for me
