Hey guys

Hey guys, I'm a newbie to this forum. I have an Axim x51v and would like to get the current status on the WM5 to WM6 upgrade ROM. I'm not exactly sure where to look, so if people could give me pointers (or even the software itself), it would be greatly appreciated.

This is my own personal device that I'd like to test develop on :)

Lock up issue related with alarms and CF

Football is a fine and generous human being.

I have no problems with wifi and alarms are now fixed. Remaining issue is a lock up glitch that is connected to alarms and programs loaded on CF cards. I have replicated this twice with hard resets on a bare bones system plus Alarm bug fix.cab and TotalCommander and SKTools loaded on the CF card.

Problem:

After alarm sounds and wakes up the Axim from off and is dismissed, if I try to start a program loaded on the CF Card, the Axim will lock up. This will not happen with programs loaded on the main memory. I tried other programs too on CF and moved them to Main and the same result happens if I try to start the program after the alarm sounds after the Axim is off and the notification is cleared.

After a soft reset, there is no problem launching a program from the CF card. The only issue is trying to launch programs on CF after an alarm has sounded and has cleared.

As a result I have loaded all my programs into main memory for the time being. There is not problem with this except for reduced memory for running programs.

WM6 installed and working like a charm!

Wow! I spent at least 2 months reading all the posts here before taking the preverbial plunge and reflashing my x51v w/ Football's WM6. It is my lifeline at work and I'd be looking for a new job if I'd bricked it. I've been running it since last weekend and it is running perfectly. So far no problems. I initially had some difficulty w/ the wifi but after reading all the posts and changing setting from "My internet" to "My Work" the only problem I've had so far has been resolved. So I guess I just want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone here for your generous insight and especially Football for a job well done!

Hi,

I had the same problem. You get an out of memory error right?

It happens if you restore a backup with all PIM databases after upgrading the ROM. Solution for me was to backup PIM data (S-K-Tools etc.) - restore everything EXCEPT PIM databases and then either restore PIM data or simply sync to get up to date PIM data back.

BTW I have a problem with MySportTraining not synching ever since I updated to A03

WM6 A03 update

Hi !

I updated to A03 ROM everything is great with all the workaround

But I realize something....

I just updated my resco explorer 2007 v6.15 and the registration of the program is not working anymore. I tried a older version same thing.

it was working well with A17 ROM

Any idea ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rugedbc:
foot in mouth

well well well

I took your suggestion, and removed the plug, bingo!

the cpu throttles down!

so that is not the source of why i feel my axim is getting quicker power drain.

when i was on A12 or A17, I could watch videos or use it for about 3.5 4hrs continuous play, now, I can't get more than an hour of continuous use. I used to be able to listen to cbc radio stream with media player for 4 hours straight, now i only get one hour and i am at 15%.

also still have a question, did MS put back in a profile for bluetooth headsets? i am not talking about a2dp, but cell phone style ones. or do i have to use the aximsite bluetooth stack forever if i want to use my headset with my axim? can Football insert the bluetooth headset profile into his current rom? is it more complicated than that? i can pair them just fine, but of course, there are no services for the headset.

thank you!!!!

:D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hiperjp:
If you are a Resco customer, you can request for a new registration code, in the Resco Explorer's registration Form follow the link fot that purpose.

or

You must register the Resco Explorer with 6.15 valid Keygen, the 6.10 keygen is not valid. ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Caveman6:
Did the upgrade. It is working so far but with one issue that I need help resolving.

I moved storage of by mail to a storage card.

WM6 Update - Moving email and attachments to Storage Card. This is done by changing the registry. In WM5 the key to use was found in:

HKCU\Sofware\Microsoft\Mapi

Now in WM6 the key to edit is:

HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings

To move mail and attachments create two new strings using a registry editor:

PropertyPath = \SD Card\Inbox

AttachPath = \SD Card\Inbox\Attachments

Reboot your device. Your device will now create a folder called 'SD Card' and rename your physical storage card 'SD Card2'

In WM5 this was caused by the Today screen initializing before the storage card. Removing messaging from the Today screen would solve the problem. If Pocket MSN was selected on the Today screen, that would also cause the problem. I have removed Messaging from the Today screen, and it still happens. Pocket MSN is not referenced in the registry.

Does anyone know what else must change to prevent the renaming of the storage card?

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] krollebol:
I also noticed my battery is draining quicker. But it's something thats wrong with the mesurement I think. Because sometimes it stays at the same % for nearly one hour.

The first time I could use my axim for 4,5 hours with wm6, so that's much better. But now sometimes it goes down until 2% in 2 hours. Than after a few minutes it turns of. But when I load it for 5 minutes, I could use it again for more than 2 hours.

So definitely something with the mesuring of the remaining power of the battery. (I had the same problems in WM5 ...)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sc0rpion:
Same here James, did you manage to sync ok? I just kept getting usb driver installation errors when cradling the pda.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] nl1rsd:
Hmm I also have found some problems with the beta release

- Calculator doesn't work

- If I perform a full hardware reset (reset+power) the PDA halts on the Dell logo. Only way to recover is to reflash.

- I was unable to sync by USB. Unknown device in Windows Vista. After removing the checkmark in Activesync (enable advanced network features) the PDA was recognised and started syncing but the PDA hanged after a while. After resetting, the device is again recognised as unknown USB device. I tried to recheck the checkmark but i kept getting an error message about NDIS even after a soft reset.

I hope Football kan give us some more info..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] manfredi90:
I also tryed some bugs, but in the russian topic football said that there is no need to write about bugs because it is only a BETA;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] emonk:
I've just installed it. It's REALLY fast and snapish but I guess I will have to go back to A17:

1. Like it was published before, USB special networking has to be turned off for it to sync with ActiveSync 4.5. It's also very slow.

2. Right after syncing, my device simply froze.

3. For some reason, the calculator app doesn't work.

4. The Hebrew support for WM6 is still notoriously unstable and erratic, but that's not Football's fault, of course.

Anyway, from what I've seen: again, it's very fast. For instance in notes, there's absolutely no delay between the writing and the appearance of the e-ink on the screen. Also the transcriber seems to work better, but maybe it's just me :)

Anyway, I will surely get back to WM6 as soon as some of these problems are solved.

Thank you, football :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Sc0rpion:
So football must of fixed most of them already then?

I now don't understand why football posted the beta this evening if he's already fixed the bugs.

I thought the whole point of releasing a beta is to get feedback i.e bug reports ;)

I look forward to the final, for now football's WM5_A17 is working great.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] telforl:
I bet Football was getting tired of people asking him when he'll post the final ROM and therefore gave us the beta to keep us occupied...so far it's working for me. I'm quite looking forward to the final release but having fun playing with this beta. It's moving along quite quickly.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] emonk:
I agree. Give him the time he needs to complete this project properly. Those issues that I listed before - I'm sure he knows about them already.

I was'nt complaining, just giving feedback on what's been released so far.

I'm so happy that WM6 has even booted on my X51v,

it looked fantastic, I never believed it would happen after Dell ditched the Axim.

and for those members still having trouble understanding how to boot into the sd loader.. here's step 4 of odyvan's tutorial in a little more detail.

press and hold down the wireless and power buttons together,

keeping them both pressed use your stylus tip to push in and release the

reset button on the back of your x51v, all the time keeping the wireless

and power buttons pressed until the sd loader screen shows the update file name.

goto step 5 ;)

WM6 complaint

This is not a complaint about this ROM, but specifically about WM6 and the lousy bluetooth stack that they're still using from WM5. I'm sincerely disappointed about the lack of compatability for handsfree headsets and bluetooth headphones. This was a major problem with WM5 and I'm sad to see they've not addressed it in WM6. By the way, TomTom navigator hangs on the install with WM6 (this ROM anyway).

Thanks, Football!!

I flashed my x51v with A03-RTM about a week ago. This was the first "hack" that I've done with my axim, so I was a little nervous. The instructions that all of you have provided in this forum were flawless, and it worked on the first try. It seems to run faster, and it is more stable. There are four main third-party programs that I run: PTab, Pocket Informant, Pocket Quicken 2.5, and Passwords Plus. They all installed without a hitch, and they all run. It syncs with my PC noticably faster, and I haven't noticed an issue with battery life. The only problem I have is my bluetooth stereo headphones. The music cuts out every few seconds. I've seen some references to installing a new bluetooth stack, but I can't find the posts now. Can someone send a link to a relevant post or offer another suggestion? Thanks.

And to Football... this must have been some undertaking. Nice work!!!:D

BTW - glad I could pave the way for someone to write the 1000th post. lol

DEll axim x51v

Hiya guys (and gals)

Just joined the forum and site and want to say Hi

Reason for joining?...

I have a Dell axim x51v and wanted to upgraded to WM6 from WM5.

I didn't even know that the x51v had been discontinued (been superceded?)

so why am I seeing purchasable upgrades to WM6 for the x50 & x50v and not the x51v? The x51v is a better and faster PDA is it not.

So presumably it's not just a case of getting a generic version of wm6 or wm6 upgrade as it has to be designed for the particular PDA that you have.

(Is it obvious that I'm so out of touch with my PDA!)

So..what are my options?...for upgrading from WM5 to WM6?

Doesn't WM6 have some I-phone type features?

Any info would be gratefully appreciated

Thanks

Everytime I get the error "No suitable image found" and "Image update failed". I'm holding down both the power and wifi buttons all the time (until the error appears)

What can I be doing wrong!! Do I need to be on a earlier release before going to the RTM release?

The ROM I have currently on my Axim is the offcial Dell WM5 ROM could that be the problem??
