Compaction still attacks

Hey MagLite, i appreciate and respect your and your work. But I'd like to ask you for trying setting the PagePool Size to 0MB, as someone (perhaps DrBios) recommended before. It could be helpful against compaction, because I don't know about you, but me personally it's the bug that annoys me most.

I am sorry for my ignorance but I have downloaded this file and placed the SD card in the Axim and I think started the image reader, however I guess I don't know what the "Action" key because when I press the only option WM 5 reloads. What am I doing wrong. I appreciate the help.

SSL/Certificate problem?

Hi, again, everyone -- I'm trying to figure out if the SSL issue I'm having with A02, which keeps ActiveSync from working with Microsoft Exchange, is a known problem or something particular I'm doing wrong. Can anyone elucidate? This problem was reported with Football's x51v update too, but appears to have been fixed now. Does anyone know how to fix it for the x50v?

Thanks!

Long time X50v User. New poster =]

Hello, first post in this forum :)

I've read every page in this thread (was excited when I saw this post on engadget). I had a few hours worth of trouble with upgrading (from Wm2k3) but got to WM6 without much trouble :D

I was a bit gutted when I found out I had a WPA-PSK setting on my router, and with my stepdad being strange, he won't let me change it to the (in my opinion) more secure MAC address filtering.

Luckily (or not so?) this is the only problem i've had so far with the upgrade.

I'm now on the A02 Pre-release and still have the Wifi problems :eek:

I know they were supposed to be fixed even in this release,and I appear to be the only one experiencing this problem now. I'm on sky's Netgear router and it works on WEP + Mac Address filtering.

The wireless is still strange, sometimes refusing to turn on, sometimes finding a network even though it's not on.

As for other bugs; Obviously things like Windows Live etc don't work. In fact, just realised even though my Axim is off, the green wireless light is still blinking :confused: and now I can't even access my WLAN utility :/

I'm assuming that in WM5 & later MMC cards work as they didn't in Wm2k3. Will RS-MMC work too?

Maybe in future releases you might be able to fix the bug where the wifi button/flight mode button only applys to Bluetooth?

Keep up the good work! and I strongly belive that you should work on releasing WM6 updates in tandem for X50v and X51v so get a full A02 working before football's A03!!! I'm not happy with X51v ers being further ahead! lol

And slightly out of topic question: What exactly is the difference between the X50v and X51v? I believe the only difference is that the X51v's ROM is designed better for Wm5 (and therefore 6) as the rest of the spec's look the same!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] carrot34:
The x51v also has more memory: 256 MB ROM rather than 128 MB on the x50v.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tofu.Toffee:
Goddamn those X51vers =]

Maybe a reflash of my device will solve Wifi errors? I must admit, i could never get even the Odyssey hack working on A01 though.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] satnile:
1. WPA-PSK works fine with this WM6 A02 PR1.

2. The blinking green light is due to notification message, just click on it on the left side corner of the screen and say yes/no to it and the blinking will disappear.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Hank the Crank:
Thank-you MagLite,

I might have to change my name (I'm not near so cranky now that my axim actually works). My wireless is working now with WM6 A02, although I have to start it, stop it and re-start it to get it to work. I use it with a Linksys WRT54GS with WPA-PSK with the router set to work in B and G modes. In WM5 it was intermittent, and WM6 A01 it only connected once in many tries.

The only problem is I am a terrible speller, and rely on text completion and auto correct. Unfortunately this does not work, as posted before, and even textplus will not install. Is this a WM6 bug, or just the X50v?

Even without text completion, I won't even consider going back, all previous versions were totally unreliable for me, with WM6 is much faster.

Thank you for your hard work, and your generosity in sharing it with us..

Got another SDHC question just to clarify compatible cards. Does it matter what Speed Class the card is?

This is just to clarify and maybe go back to the store and trade card for a higher speed class. And also for other people that don't know about SDHC and are planing to buy one for the axim.

Thanks

PS i will be creating a thread for this topic and rom. Link
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tofu.Toffee:
I think all speeds should work, not sure if there is a limit, it'd be the limit of the ROM write/read speed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ultraprimeomega:
thats obvious for me but some people may get confused with this.

but still didn't thought of that dough.

Its like burning a 16x DVD disk on a old 2x DVD burner or something like this
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Tofu.Toffee:
Good analogy. The SD card might write at 30MBps (never sure on these numbers so excuse if they're wayyy wrong) but if the ROM could only read at 20MBps then you'd only get 20MBps
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ultraprimeomega:
Thanks

By the way here is the link to post what SDHC works. Just feel to make this post for noobs and other people that are confuse or want a recommendation on what to get or are just scared in investing on something expensive and not wanting to go through the feeling of "I wasted money for something that does not work"

Not tried yet (as I have it stuck in a digital camera)

but do RS-MMC cards work (and yes, i put a RS-MMC card in a normal SD/MMC slot!!!)

don't have a SDHC card, but i do have a 2GB standard SD card (even works in WM2003)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ultraprimeomega:
2gb is the limit of regular SD cards but SDHC cards start at 4gb. and about RS-MMC i don't know i only have a 1gb MMC all the rest are sd cards

don't you need a adapter for RS-mmc cards to be regular mmc or mmc cards need a adapter to be rs-mmc

HTTP won´t work on my X50v

As I told before, I can´t access Internet (Opera or IE) via WiFi but radios on Resco radio and GSPlayer work fine. Could be a problem affecting only HTTP protocol ?

I can ping my router but I can´t see my router configuration page !

Nobody´s got a similar problem ?

I´m still on WM6 AO1.

Why are you still on A01? There are plenty of wifi problems in A01 as you obviously know. Why not go to A02 and reap the benefits?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
This is not completely related to word completion, but I thought this is worth a mention. I'm sure some of you have seen this and probably use it already, but for those who haven't, I highly recommend giving this a try!

I tried it and must admitt, its the best pda keyboard i ever used it really speeds up typing. One thing really annoys me in that - lack of arrows and ctrl (ctrl+c or ctrl+v must change to default keyboard :()

Had you tried it before now or did you first find out about it from my post? And yes, I agree totally with the unfortunate fact that it has no arrow keys and ctrl. :(

Hi, When the Axim comes back on I get a choice of pressing the contacts button to restore factory settings (wm5) or cancelling by pressing the email button. When I press the center button nothing happens. What do you think. Did I download incorrectly?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ultraprimeomega:
you should get a white screen with blue on top. just press wireless+power+reset and release reset and if you get that screen again press reset 5 times fast and wait for the white screen but while still holding wireless+power. then release the buttons when you get the white screen.

thats how i do it

If anyone wants to know how to downgrade to wm2003se A05 pm me or post and ill post the files

As for keyboard:

cavyman - i used it from about a week now :> and...maybe there is a possibility to add function keys (i searched pocketcm forum but there is no clear manual to it :()

1337woody - i tried full screen keyboard, its nice but i'd rather see more than just a keyboard on the screen.

As for my choice after using many typing ways:

0)Penreader 2005(not classified, used it long time ago on another pda - on this, maybe its only on wm6, touch screen locks, so You need hard reset unless You can change default input method with just hard buttons)

1) PocketCM Keyboard

2)WM6 Letter Recognizer

3)Spb Full Screen Keyboard

4)VGAkey

Did You change system font to mine too? It's much nicer than tahoma, in my opinion. You can change font in registry or using nice pocket tweak control panel. If You don't have it i could upload it here ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] n0yzt:
Alright getting closer

You have all been a great help. Now I get the white screen wth the blue top but now I get a message that says No usable Image file found. It tells me to try again. I am downloading from the website and saving the file to my SD card and then inserting the SD card into the Axim and attempting to initiate the upgrade.

What do you think? I am excited to get it working based on all the exciting comments posted.

HI,

My first post here, but a lurker for some time now.

I also upgraded my x50v to the latest WM6 A02 (Thanks Maglite)

For the moment my main use for my Axim is navigation and i can't get connected to my gps receiver thru bluetooth. My bluetooth receiver doen't require a pass code and authentication, but the ms stack keeps asking for one, so no proper connection.

I know (and tried already) that the Widcomm stack from the Axim site does the job, but i was just wondering if the windows stack in WM6 can get it done also?

shizuku
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
Try standart codes 0000 or 1234.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] larigo:
Hi,

This is my first post and I would like to thank everybody for this thread .

Maglite your work is simply amazing and you're the best.

To improve your version , I noticed a bug but I don't know if it's bug of WM6.

When you want to cut a folder from a SD card to the pocket , it copies only the first item of the folder and not the others;

Do you have any idea ?

Larigo
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] shizuku:
tried that but to no avail. It keeps hanging at the pass code window and the 'next' button is greyed out. I see no possibility to get passed this window.

The 'weird' thing of my gps receiver is that it accepts only no pass code to get accepted.

I guess i have to use the widcomm in future instead.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
What is model of your GPS ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagLite_RUS:
I don't have this problem.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] shizuku:
It's this one: http://www.gns-gmbh.com/en/30_5840.php

In the ms stack i saw no possibility to turn off the authentification mode.

Here an excerpt from the manual:

" 6.1 Bluetooth mode

Switch on the GNS 5840.

Activate the Bluetooth mode in your PDA and initiate a search for the GNS 5840 with your PDA’s Bluetooth

manager. (This is described in the manual for your PDA.)

No bluetooth PIN is needed. Some PDA models require the input of a PIN code. Please disable the

“authentification mode” in your Bluetooth manager.

Please check the interface that is assigned (e.g. COM8 with iPAQ 38xx, 5 with MDACompact).

Start your navigation software and, under GPS settings, set the appropriate interface. "

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Drakey83:
Did you ask if paying $70 USD for an X51V in a good deal!? That sounds like a deal to good to be true! I dropped like $450 USD on mine and that was only like 6 months ago. I would be very weary of buying an X51V for such a cheap price! I would make sure I checked it out and made sure the screen worked well with no scratches and everything, and that it turns on and is running fine before I would try to buy that X51V for so cheap. Unless it is being sold from a trusted seller that you know or somebody you trust i would expect it to be a trick to get your $70 bucks while they give you a piece of crap that doesn't work. Most of the time if it sounds to go to be true it probably is.

Also you said

but you didn't specify what "this" is. If you have a fix for the alarm problem i would love to know what it is!

Hoping you guys can help

I have a Dell Axim x50v, it was running Windows Mobile 5 A01 slowly, I had to reset to default often to speed it up. Well I know Dell has an A02 but it requires the USB cradle which was a fragile POS that broke months ago. I use it to only charge extra battery and use Bluetooth to sync fine on WIndows Vista.

I wanted WM6 obviously, so I grabbed A01 of it, which runs failry well with the bugs everyone knows about. So I tried A02 PR1, which works but the WiFi icon always shows the X and when I turned the WiFi on it wouldnt say enabled, the button would enable it, but lock up when disabling the unit, only hard reset would fix. So I went back to A01 of WM6 Maglite. Well today Maglite gracious puts up A02 PR2, same issue so I go back to A01 of WM6 Maglite. In A01 WM6 the WiFi works perfectly. I am guessing that maybe because I had to skip the step of upgrading to WM5 A02 from Dell that is why the A02 WM6 arent working right. I can start the WM5 A02 from Dell upgrade with Bluetooth, unit reboots and says waiting on USB. I realize if I had working WM5 A02 images to toss on my SD card I could remedy this.

Please advice or even link or PM me info to get the WM5 A02 from dell done without USB sync cable. there is an IMG file that update makes, which I thought I could rename to .nd0, but I dont have a crc file or even know if that would work.

Thanks
