Jiker's Active sync problem..

Try deleting your partnership or renaming your 4700 and establish a new partnership. But save or keep your 'My Document' for the 4700 folder as it might have valuable info you put on, like recordings etc.

don't pick the contacs or calender to sync until you have successfully sorted out teh problem, saves time. :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
I'm not that fond of "integrated" solutions (and stereos), but there are a few things I thought I might like to embed nonetheless, because newer versions of them that predate a new ROM release aren't important. After all, many of the people here have been flashing and re-flashing repeatedly (I'm on the lighter end of that spectrum), so is what is or isn't on the ROM side of the partition really all that significant in terms of space? I plan to slow down my ROM re-flashings, so the extra bit of work to get a few critical things in there makes more sense. By the time those critical things have changed enough to warrant upgrading them, I should be ready for a new ROM anyway. I haven't explained this very well, but I hope the logic is obvious enough.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
Yes. It will pimp your handheld.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dirlan2001:
Absolutely NOT.... You would burn up your phone-radio, as the hx4700 is not a phone. And flashing would destroy all your previous settings, including the radio's. I guess you're stuck at WM2003 SE with this baby.

Battery drain experience by new user

Hi everyone,

This is my first post to the forum! Firstly, a big thank to Kozhura for reviving our hx4700's after HP's debacle of WM5! I wish to make a few comments on the battery drain issue, as that is something I'm experiencing.

I recently got my hx4700 repaired by HP (in the USA, the motherboard was replaced) and flashed it with the WM6 ROM (release 4, by Kozhura). I didn't install any applications, and left the PDA in the cradle, but turned off overnight. The next morning, it reported a flat battery! When turned on, it would last about 2 seconds, before shutting itself off. If I turned it on and put it in the cradle, it would stay on. The Power screen showed the main battery at 0%, "AC charging" and the orange LED would flash. The charging indicator, showing 0%, never increased. After 1-2 minutes, the orange LED would stay on.

As I'd read about battery drain issues, I decided to try the PDAVIET ROM. I experienced the same problem. As a solution, I returned to the WM2003SE ROM from HP. Immediately, the main battery reported as being fully charged! And the unit retained it's charge overnight, even out of the cradle.

Conclusions: The battery is not actually flat as reported by WM6. The fact that the Power screen shows 0% battery charge, and "AC charging" seems to be a software problem. As mentioned above, the orange LED flashes for 1-2 minutes, then stays on. It appears the hardware correctly determines that the battery is charged, but the software reports it as being 0%, and shuts the unit down.

The problem I am writing about may be different to that experienced by others. If it is not, though, the battery-drain problems may have nothing to do with apps installed on the device.

I wonder whether the battery itself may be responsible for reporting incorrect charge status to WM6. The battery I am using is a third-party (non-HP) battery. Are other users with battery-drain problems using HP batteries, or other brands?

At least in my case, it appears the battery drain is caused by a WM6 bug, or is battery related.

Comments?

Best!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
I can't point you to the exact page of this thread, but other people have experienced and reported this problem, where the battery monitoring gets out of whack because of a new ROM. The problem was solved, I recall, but I don't remember the solution clearly; I think it had something to do with clearing some values in the Registry. I didn't experience the problem, even though I'm using the exact same ROM. Search this thread and you'll find those discussions.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] GSX600FMAN:
I have had no problems at all with the battery draining excessively. I have the original HP batteries and a 'made in China 3.6A extended (bulky) battery, if we are likely to be using excessively all day. We have 1 still on version 3 & 2 running WM6 v4. When the 6.1 is released by 'K' one of them will be used for that. While I still have a working PDA for navigation etc. I have SPB pocket plus (new upgrade) which really closes programs when you tap 'X', not just minimise them. :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] naboo:
same thing was happenning to my hx4700 with rel4, it used to freeze at least once a day

now I switched to PDAVIET 6.1 and it looks a lot better right now, I've experienced two freezes till now (within 2 weeks or so)

and I confirm that it's a software problem rather than a hardware

Hopefully it will bee fixed soon. The device is simply unreliable in current state.

Battery issue

@ Durex (:D , what's in a name)

I'm now using latest PDAVIET (6.1) and have also noticed (same as with Kozhoura R4) batterydrain :(

In the past I have made all the fixes & trics to reduce this issue ... but without a final good result.

Yesterday full charge the HX4700, this morning 6% power left.

Have 2 batteries , 1 original HP and 1 chinese (bought on ebay) ... both 1800mAh ... same battery drain.

So It has nothing to made with brand you use.

With other words , I can not trust WM6x ... sometimes a week without issue , and then 2 days issue ... :rolleyes:

But still it's a great feeling to use WM6x ... when it works, the HX4700 is a fast machine with a fantastic sreen.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dirlan2001:
Hi all,

Go find tMan 0.9.9 at http://pda.jasnapaka.com/tman/ and install it.

After recharging your device and before you take it out of the craddle, use this little gem to close all background tasks, close all running tasks and then exit the program.

Take the device out of the craddle and and push the on/off button ....:D

I do this every day before going to sleep, and in the morning I've no batterydrain....

Cheers

Dirk
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pilsor:
Hi Dirk ... "After recharging your device and before you take it out of the craddle" ... I didn't know this was important.

And what about activesync ... it's still open when your device is in the craddle (?).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Pilsor:
Installation internal or Sd ?

Compatible with the X-close provide by pdaviet? or should that X-close be romoved (?).
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dirlan2001:
If you use tMan to close all background and running tasks on the device, it should be no problem, provided you have ActiveSync (on the PC) told NOT to connect automaticaly.

As I don't need to sync every 5 minutes, I have also changed some settings in the registry of the device.

HKCU\ControlPanel\Comm\ AutoCnct -----> changed in '0 (0x0)'

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\DisconnectWhenDone ----> '1 (0x1)'

I don't know the PDAViet nor that 'X-close' app ..... Can't say anything on it, but I guess it's doing more or less the same things : check for running programs and kicking them out :D

Let me know if it works out right

pdaviet 6.1 clean

Here is the PDAVIET 6.1 ROM which I've modified a bit. All applications I have work fine with this including GPS.

Changes I made were:

1. Removed all preinstalled apps - notepad, usb_hdd, psXshut, etc.

2. Removed the "flower" and "waterfall" images.

3. Removed the non-VGA green skin (tsk) file.

3. Alarm files are now all WAV instead of WMA - so you can use them all.

4. Re-organized the initflashfile.dat a bit for readability.

Sorry, I don't know how to change the bootup screen or the default keyboard. Maybe someone else can improve this further.

I have not experienced the battery problems that have been reported here so this will not address those.

Regards.

Sanjay, what is the PagePool size of your package? Is mapping SW one of your applications on your 4705? If so, is there a relation between PagePool size and mapcut size as for speed of loading and responsiveness? I might be drifting off your central theme here, but the questions are real.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
You're welcome all. Hope you find this useful. It works well for me. As we wait for Kozhura, it's worth noting that PhamQuang has done a good job with this ROM.

It seems that this ROM is based on a non-VGA HTC device. Hence why the default keyboard is not pretty on the 4700. I use VGAkey anyway though so it's not an issue, but if anyone knows how to change the default keyboard or the boot screen, I would appreciate the information. Would be happy to redo this.

Regards.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
I did not change the pagepool on this ROM and frankly did not check it before making my changes. I believe PDAVIET ROMs have 8mb, but I'm not sure. Having used this now for two weeks, I know that it is definitely faster for me than 6.0. I use iGo as my GPS navigation software. It is the only mapping application I have.

I get the PDAVIET 6.1 ROM is not on my 4700th HX

How can I get the PDAVIET 6.1 ROM on my HX 4700? With mtty11a boot loader does not, he grouses that the file is too big. What can I do?

Ps Sorry for my English
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pepeluu:
PDAViet PagePool is 8MB. I changed to 0MB (on a 128 MB RAM HX4700) and it runs OK.

There is one thing about battery time I want to add to the big mess in that area. I have another HX4700 which was left with WM 2003. It has been in a drawer for probably two months straight and when I took it out (I was thinking of flashing your ROM) the battery was at 100% charge!!! just as it was when I confined it. Why is it not possible to get that from a WM5 or WM6 ROM?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sanjay1951:
Pepeluu,

You must have excellent batteries! Mine never lasted any longer with WM2003. However, that's perhaps because I was so worried always about losing data that I frequently charged them.

I saw that you had changed the pagepool to 0mb, but also know that this had been problematic for others. Have you done a benchmark test with different sizes of pagepools? Would be good to see imperical numbers for this with WM6.1 to see what actually is best. I used 8mb for WM5 and found it better than the 4.8MB standard but WM6 was fast enough so I let it be at 4.8.

Regards.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
If I had a device that was so unimportant to me that I could afford to leave it rotting in a drawer for months, but which might still be useful to many people, I'd consider giving it to someone who could put it to good use. There's the obvious eBay, not to mention Craigslist and thousands of "freecycling" groups (freecycle.org). In the local freecycling groups in this area, people routinely give away things worth at least as much as a used hx4700. I freecycle what I have that I don't need, but that doesn't include my hx4700 because it's all I've got or will have for quite a while.

Perhaps Kozhura could use such spare hx4700s sitting in drawers. Or someone even less fortunate than he.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pepeluu:
Hello Sanjay:

Unfortunately I do no do any benchmarking (I would not know how to). All my assessments are done by feeling only. On that base, I have realized that the larger the pagepool the faster the system. As I am using a 128 MB machine, I can afford to give a large chunk of memory to the pagepool. Since I read in the thread about the possibility to set the pagepool to 0 (the figure is misleading, as it actually means assigning the whole memory to the pagepool) I decided to try and feel it ran faster. "I feel" I say.

I should add I also use a 6MB Ramdisk for the same reason of having RAM to spare. All the temp files go there and, if I have to tell, I have NEVER seen the filesys kicking in in that machine.

Regards, and thanks again for sharing your efforts with us.

I really do not have the time or the inclination to explain to you why I have not two, but three HX4700.

Backup iPAQs

VulcanTourist:

Some folks like to have spares in case of failure. I'll bet Kozhura wished he had one. I'm glad I did when my main 4700 was destroyed by a falling loudspeaker.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
You made it "my stuff" the instant you mentioned it here. As one lawyer would tell the judge in court, in response to an objection by the other during cross-examination, "Your Honor, his client opened the door by his own prior testimony."

Having mentioned it and been challenged about it, whether you choose to defend the choice and behavior is "your stuff". You might have a reason that would make me feel foolish and presumptuous and necessitate an apology, but I haven't heard it. Tight-lipped defensiveness usually suggests otherwise.

And Dan: if people were more charitable with the excess they have beyond their actual need, folks like Kozhura wouldn't have to worry about hoarding a spare, would they? I suggest you check out the freecycling concept.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
No, he didn't have a point. There is no such thing as "none of my business" once something is volunteered. Further, when I challenge people it's never gratuitous. There is always reason behind it, whether you agree with it or not. If being challenged or seeing other people challenged irritates you, I'd suggest that is the problem. You bandy about emotional buzzwords like childish, gratuitous, and pointless like little swords intended to wound.

VulcanTourist,

I think it is high time that you chilled and stopped your your useless, opinionated, venomous banterings. Your past few posts have been abusive and have not added any value to this excellent forum. I agree, people including me have treated you to now with some respect but you seem to only be interested in creating conflict. For someone that claims to have over 20 years of IT experience, I would have hoped that by now you would have learned the meaning of client respect. I wonder how you have survived. Clearly, you have a problem that you need to deal with. But no-one else on this forum has to put up with it. So back off.

Rest,

Let's just please try to ignore this guy and focus on the constructive dialogues here.

Something for nothing?

I never said you (or anyone else) shouldn't donate your equipment when your heart moves you to do so; I only answered your question about why some users feel they need to have more than one usable device on hand.

It is up to each individual's conscience what he chooses to do with his hard-earned cash and the goodies it gets him. It is not my place (or yours) to tell somebody he is a hoarder or miser because he believes in backup systems.

But if you really feel this attitude is unacceptable how about digging out that spare tire in the trunk of your car and giving it to someone you see on the side of the road with a flat? I have actually done that. I have also given older model iPAQs to friends as gifts rather than see them go unused. That was my choice. It is also my choice to hold onto my spare 4700 in case more loudspeakers come falling out of the sky.

To change the boot screen, I followed Chamine's advice. I found it actually a long way back in this thread around page 45. He describes the steps.
