just wondering what kozhura meant by the "wifi plugin".

so i take it that if wifi works he meant it was like a WEP2 plugin or something added on that didnt work?

Thanks, already tried the battery trick - didn't work. The 4700 is on a road trip to PocketPcTechs in California (they too are geniuses). I'm onto my backup 4150 WM2003 until it returns so will need to be content as a spectator to this wonderful forum.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] rex206:
My suggestion is, after you flash the new rom, do a hardrest(contact+messege+reset) ,when seee the clear date messege , press calendar, then wait for a few minutes, if nothing change, then press reset again, then wait for at lease 30 second, if don't work, try the reset for second or third time, it will work!!

So am I. 2 times. Nothing helps except soft reset. Another issue - I forgot to use fake server trick and battery of my hx4700 was competely drained over night (about 7 hours).

you need to connect it to power for it to be able to do anything.

Bluetooth internet problem

Thank you for this ROM. It works faster than both wm5 or wm2003! Memory usage seems to be up. But i guess that what you pay for increased speed.

I wonder if any of you had tried bluetooth internet from 3g phones with personal area network. It works under wm2003se but not with this wm6 ROM or the wm5 aku 3.5.2 ROM. Bluetooth DUN does not work either.

In both case I was able connect to the phone and the connection icon shows online but when i cant access the internet. This feature is vital to me as its the only way to get online without WLAN connection. At the mean time I downgraded back to wm2003se.

Bluetooth Internet with 3G phone

I can verify it works with the WM6 (Fixed3) rom. Connected thru dial-up networking with a nokia N73.

I also had issue with the battery drain. Twice, though this was with the WM5 rom. Only way to power it up is to charge it. Haven't come across it yet with WM6.

With due respect, I thought this was a forum for the ipaq 4700. I don't wish to offend so no harsh come backs please. There can only be a very few people that can really comment on the merits of this new ipaq, but here we're talking about the ipaq 4700 ROM upgrading & fault finding. Thanks! :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] alan sh:
The actual forum is for XDA development, fi you want to be picky :)

Anyway, it looks very similar in size to a 4700. Runs about as fast. With WM6 loaded, it feels the same. Doesn't have a screen cover like the 4700. Not sure what it's made of.

I guess if you want to know more, you should visit a dedicated 210 forum such as http://forum.brighthand.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1333

p.s. glad I didnt buy the wm6 for ipaq 4700's from ebay.. guy is selling it for $1.99 and no shipping (direct download) .... so do you think it is just what you guys are doing here???
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] comtech2005:
Hello,

Dont buy it, you can download it here: http://rapidshare.com/files/68396806/WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.rar.html

To flash your device using cradle, do the following:

1.Enter the HX4700 in Bootloader (Calendar+iTask+Reset)

2.Put your device on usb cradle.

3.Run bootloader

4.Choose the downloaded file

5.The update begins

6. when it is ready you must reset the pda (calendar+contacts+reset)choose "clear all data in memory"

7. Wait and see

8. Done.

Good luck and dont tell your boss, Andre.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
Yep. There was never an IP-law-approved release of WM6 for this device. That SOB is counting on (a lot of) uneducated people not knowing that to make a couple bucks. He knows he can profit from sheer volume (of ignorance). He keeps the amount small so that once (or if) people figure out they've been duped they won't be driven to go after him or call the police.

BTW, I just searched eBay for "wm6 hx4700", thinking I might be the one to turn him in, but got no hits. I found a guy selling an hx4700 *with* WM6 installed, but that's no more illegal than what we're doing installing this in the first place.

Then I installed BatteryStatus Ext from Chi-Tai and gives me the batt percentage on today plugin with cpu clock. On the other hand I think that cpu temp (only 3.3 ° celsius) and battery drain (only 40 mA with BT and wifi enabled) are not the real values.

I installed it for the "close app" X button functionality as well.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] albertorrent:
in fact, it comes from this thread :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=326150&highlight=XDADevBatFix.CAB

And I think it is a fix for some device that coul'd not get charged in the cradle with WM6.

I don't know if it will help us with the batterie drain problem.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
I think my battery problem may have simply been an old battery. Earlier this month I was called for jury duty and the courthouse has free wireless, so I tried to use my hx4700, but with the wifi active and the brightness set to 50% it didn't even last two hours... it went completely dead suddenly when the battery was supposedly still at about 20% capacity. I had been seeing that behavior before. There also seems to be a slight bulge in the battery pack itself, and it's not just because it's happy to see me.

Late this month I bought a genuine HP 3600MAH extended battery. With a fresh charge, brightness at 50%, and both wifi and bluetooth active, the Power Standby dialog indicates that I would have about 12 hours of continuous runtime; if I crank the brightness to 100%, that estimate drops to about 5-6 hours. If I turn all wireless off, it indicates about 18-19 hours for 50% brightness and about 11 hours at 100%. (And yes, I gave the metering time to 'settle'). That was with the Standby Period set to minimum (of course Standby is irrelevant with WM5 and WM6, but it affects slightly what the metering estimates).

Does that sound good, about right, for a 3.6AH battery, or should it run even longer?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Julian_Satran:

I can't get BT on. Everything else works fine. I am reluctant to move to V4 as a number of annoying bugs have been reported. Is there a fix for BT? Is this a known issue? (iPAQ HX 4700 WM6 classic - v3)

Thanks for any hint.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
Jeff, I reported that twit to eBay, via the Report This link, but it wouldn't hurt for more people to report it, too. I used the following descriptions:

"Counterfeits and copyright violations",

"Other potential infringement" and

"Offering to send or receive copyrighted material",

which seemed like the best fit.

From my experience installing a using WM6 Rev 4, you won't need any wifi fixes or patches, though you might want OzBTWF or RealVGA for your specific needs. I've pretty much given up on using it in full VGA mode myself, except for browsers... there's just too many compatibility issues with various applications.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
There is not a GENERAL issue with WM6 Rev 4 and wireless; both 802.11b and Bluetooth worked fine for me right "out of the box". If there is an actual problem, it is limited to specific circumstances which I don't believe have been accurately identified. Whether your device might be one of the exceptions, I thus can't say.

HP iPAQ 211

Please, alan sh, how do you like the new ipaq? Or anyone else out there who has it.

DO you think it's worth upgrading from the 4700?

Is the cradle/charging setup the same as the 4700?

Aside from the fact that it is fun troubleshooting the WM6v3 & v4 issues; & hoping for a v5 kozhura fix someday. I am wondering about just buying a device (the 211) which is quick, will work and be stable.

The $450 cost may pay for itself in work time lost; playing with the 4700 to get it to work, although it is fun, I just don't have the time right now. Plus at a $170 charge to upgrade the 4700 memory from 64 to 128, and the 211 is SDHC compliant. :) (4GB SDHC @ Frys for $16)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] figurhead:
Thanks eveyone here for the info. I just ordered the new iPAQ 211 from thenerds.net :) It was $415+$46 overnight shipping (Florida to CA)+$4 for same day packing/shipping = $466. I will have it Monday morning. When I called them on the phone, they had 18 of them, when I got off the phone ordering it, there was 11 left (1240pm PST). I guess it's time to prep my hx4700 for ebay. (I've spent lots of time with kozhura's WM6v3 & v4 mods for the 4700, and it's been really fun; but now on to other things/issues (iPAQ 211+SDHC).

Not necesarily better things

, since playing with this stuff is actually fun. Thanks all and talk to you again soon, when I start to play with the 211.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] VulcanTourist:
I've been doing a little cost-benefit analysis myself: cost of time spent tinkering with ROM upgrades, CF 802.11g card, extra $ spent for large SD card instead of much cheaper SDHC card, cost of that new extended battery AND the aluminum case to hold it....

I'm thinking maybe I shoulda saved that money (and time) and directed it toward the 210....
