Sorry, dudes but i'm still don't undersdanding why my storage memory invisible?

And Lingvo10 now don't install. I guess by reason of invisible storage memory.

And how can I this tune up?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] peter_altherr:
hi buzzneto-fans (buzz_lightyear + magneto = buzzneto ;-)),

currently i am switching back from 1.60a to 1.50h for the following reasons:

1. persistant storage still not in one 32mb container

2. roughly 14 + 16 mb is unfortunately not enough for me to work comfortable. i just had installed only the most wanted applications, no funny things, games etc. and almost run out of memory. after synchronizing all contact, pim and email data is additionally placed into that little 14mb and then the crash came. not a really crash but with only a few bytes left on that partition, buzzmobile5.0 is getting so slow no longer usable.

3. installing all applicatons on storage card is not fine for me as i am using a wifi sd-card and this would mean networking/internetting or using applications -> not satisfying. and installing only the most wanted apps on device already resulted in memory overload (see issue 2).

4. even when you install all apps on storage card, every application occupies some bytes/kbytes on your device, you cannot prevent that.

thanks a lot to buzz, you do a great job here. i am now waiting for the 96/32 solution. in my eyes the 1.60a is an experimental release for demonstration of the technical chances we have with our himalayas. but for me it is not the solution for every day use. and now a little philosophical facts/questions:

fact: having a device where all installations are in persistant memory is absolutely great. you do not have to fear hard-resets. everything stays in place. no more backups due to the fear of losing data when battery is drained.

fact: even when you have ext_rom + storage merged to one 32mb partition there is still a very low capacity for installing apps in persistant memory on the device.

fact: when you use other sd-cards beside your memory card (i.e. wifi, etc.) it is aching always to decide using the wifi or using applications on the memory card. no chance for using both.

question: having fact 1 in mind and considering fact 2 the question would be: what sense does it make to have persistant memory but not enough space to install all your loved apps in, so that you can feel the benefit of persistant memory? ok, all your settings are protected too against loss of data and this could be a lot of work. this is in my mind the most advantage of buzzmobile5.0 on himalaya devices.

please do not take me too serious, i am still happy with buzzmobile5.0 at all. wm2k3 is no longer an alternative for me. go buzz go!!

greetings

New IDEA

Guys I am having another New Idea concerning the W2K. Again before I start, it could be a dream.....so, just let me dreaming (I am not a programer).

IF we analyzed the pros & Cons of the new W2K compared to 2003SE, we will find that (from my point of view):

1- New Memory Structure

2- Some new programs (Like pocket Power Point) and Camera API I guess.

But the Cons list would be too long:

1- Bad battery performance.

2- Some standard programs does not work (Simmanager & xbackup)

3- Many of the programs that we used to use, does not work.

So, the idea is: why do not we try the opposite, I mean take the pros of WIN2K and change it in 2003SE, like the new RAM structure.

So we will finally have the stability and compitability of the 2003SE and the new RAM structure.

CAN THIS DREAM COMES TRUE?

Hope what i said does make sense.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Rudegar:
w2k == windows 2000 for pc's

mixing names like that confuse people

what you are saying would be possible but it would also mean very very very much work

being that ms changed much of the foundation in windows CE5

so the dream can come true

heck you could even write a new os from scratch if you had the time

time is of the essense here i suspect
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pschoch:
For me a 32MB RAM disk that would go with 1.60a would be sufficient.

No need to make a new ROM.

Cheers

I dont want to rain on your parade Buzz, because I know you have done amazing work and restored Wm2k5 to its full glory, but I thought of something...

With everything in Flash (windows etc) all the windows temp files and stuff will be in flash, that means hundreds of read/write/erase operations every day. If you use PIE lots, thats even worse.

I assume HTC/MS dont care because the life of a phone is <1 year now so these expensive devices are not expected to last much past 2 years or so. They dont care that the flash will die soon.

I do. I dont wanna kill my XDA because I wore the flash out!

What do you think the life of the flash will be post wm2k5 install with 1.60a installed?

We need to know how many reads and writes get done by windows and how many the flash is meant to take.

Help - all sorts of problems

Hi

I am keen to get 2005 up and running on my XDA(s). I have 2005 1.6 installed, and already Bluetooth is great - runs both a motorola headset and nokia car kit well.

However I have 2 major issues. One is that I cannot Sync anything other than Notes. I get the error ActiveSync encountered an error on the desktop : Support code 0x85010014. - This is a fairly major issue. I have tried the various fixes on the forum to no avail - this happens with a bluetooth or USB sync

Also there appears to be no MS Reader. If I insall reader then it works, but I am unable to activate it - it says that the version is too old.

If any one has any clues it would be appreciated

Thanks

ROM life?

was interested in this myself. the rom is meant to be good for at least 100 000 writes. I was assuming that the system ran in ram but am not so sure now.

if there are minimal writes per day then this is not an issue but if its in the 100's then we could be headed into a few years life out of the device or less....

I know I will probably have upgraded by then but my XDA has done me well for over a year and is still more than capable

can anyone give an idea of the typical frequency that the Rom is being written in 1.60?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] defroster:
Is anyone else noticing perofrmance dropping off once you start getting a few programs on there? I wonder how lack of flash affects performance vs. lack of RAM..

All terribly confusing :)

What we should do is run a game in fpsce (psx emulator) with the framerate displayed using 2005 plain and 2005 with 128mb ram, see if it's helping or hindering, because if it's not actually increasing performance, I'd prefer storage space.

Hi all ! I need your help on this case :

After I installed WM05 1.50h and 1.60a Version, i have unusual different problem they are :

1) If I send or reply massages logically one massage, there are always two same massage received by the recipient, in fact I just send one massage (160 characters) it makes my pulse reduce or because it becomes on massage is sent twice.

2) I can not send or receive files (Picture,Tones,en other) using IrDa or Bluetooth with other device like N3660, but at WM2003se there is no any problems with it!

Is there any solutions on this case ? Thanks before.I'll wait your answer here!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] buzz_lightyear:
Re: ROM life?

no way.

ExtROM and storage are on m-systems.com Disk-On-Chip.

It is a NAND type of memory.

Unlike the Intel Strata Chip, where you flash the OS, is a NOR flash chip.

So as the name says itself, it is a DISK on chip or DOC and it is designed to be used as DISK.

Check this out:

http://www.m-systems.com/content/Support/faq.asp?prodGroup=DOC#4

There is also a nice lifetime calculator

Re: finally changed the radio ver to 1.17

Can I used this version with my Xda II mini? Coz i keen 2 try it..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pyrofer:
I played with the calculator for Flash Life, I couldnt really get it below 3 years for a sensible guess.

Writing a 32meg file (full flash) 100 times a day give you 3 years!

So I dont think wm2k5 users need worry about wearing out the flash on the XDA.

*phew* one less thing to worry about. Maybe Ill install 1.60a now!

Buzz, I never quite worked out about the ram disk, Can I just flash 1.60a with 128meg ram and run the ramdisk prog we used before?

And that will give me a 64/96meg ramdisk (depending on version i run)? Is there a particular version I should use?

THANKS!

Strange thing after hard reset

I'm using version 1.60a. I've found that after hard reset (after radio unit reflash) date was set to some day in 2003 and Button Lock was off despite I have it always on (before hard reset).

How is that possible when 1.60a should be persistent?

Other strange thing is that now (with the 1.60a version) the device wakes up when new SMS comes or reminder appears. In the version 1.50x I just heard the sound but the device didn't wake up. I don't think we have other revision of WM5.

Also the power button looks like working in a little bit different way. But this is just a feeling, I guess. :)

Suggestions

All of my respect is Buzz's. Thanks a lot.

However the v1.60a ROM is stable enough I realized some minor problems and imperfections:

:arrow: Sometimes flight mode can't switch off itself. this is the worst

:arrow: I can't open simmgr.exe from Contacts, what is more, it doesn't exist at all. (I know I can use simupload.exe, but...)

:arrow: I'm not able to adjust bass & treble in control panel

:arrow: and the splash screen shows WM2005 instead of WM 5.0, of course anyone can change the image.

and does anyone know a decent camera software for Himalaya? because the integrated one in WM 5.0 is very poor. (for example there is no opportunity to change the recording format.)[/list]
