I have no problems with movies on this rom with tcpmp, but i run mine from the SD card and keep the cf for programs.

Make sure you have all the codecs installed as this might be why your getting the slow downs. I use either divx or xvids too
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dirlan2001:
Speedin'

Hi,

If u don't have the codecs installed , the movie will not run. That's for sure . But I found another way to speed up working. It was in a post way up in this thread, yet it works also for the latest build from Kozhura.

This is a copy of the original txt... can't remember who posted it, but tnx anyway ; it works great.....

QUOTED : PageFile tweak

've found that tweaking the filesys TempPath makes a huge difference to performance as long as you have a fast storage card.

It may be a fluke, but my 4700 seems loads faster now.

What to do...

create a folder (I used "\SD Card\Application Data\Volatile" because the default is "\Application Data\Volatile") on your SD card

Edit the registry - HKLM\System\Filesys - change TempPath value to point to your new folder

Power off PDA

Power on PDA

Perform Soft reset (I use reset.exe - got it from pocketpcfreewares.com)

Whether you use software to do the soft reset or not, the key is that the changes get commited to file. It may be sufficient to power off and on to do this.

Note, I've only tried this today. Up 'til now, my 4700 has been stable - it is definitely a lot snappier. I would guess that it's not a brilliant idea to remove the SD card frequently after making this change - although I have done this once and it didn't crash.

Cheers, Merry Xmas etc ...

I'm trying to get the lates RELEASE4.rar to work with Bootloader and am not having any joy. I am able to use Chris's Bootloader to flash the other rar versions, as I have even just now done to make sure that it is still working, so am wondering if there is something different that I need to do to flash the latest RELEASE4.rar

When I run the Bootloader I ask to open WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.rar in the same folder as Bootloader (in a root directory without spaces in the name of the folder), but I get this error message:

"! C:\BootLoader\WM6_4700_0_7_0_RELEASE4.rar: No files to extract"

and I close that error window and get another error window that says:

"Error reading file C:\BootLoader\BootLoader\temp_nbf\"

After I close that window nothing else happens.

I would love to flash the latest release4 onto my hx4700. Please help if anyone has any suggestions that might help.

I'm using Vista, by the way. I have also tried downloading the rar about 4 or 5 times now in hopes that my download was corrupt, but it seems to be the same each time. I have been reading for someone having the same problem, but don't see anything yet. I would love to have some help with this.

Happy New Year from Australia,

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Myatding:
Yes, this is what I was just going to write. Thank you both for your help on this. I managed to get the pda flashed with the new rar. Great!

The other point that I wanted to share, in case it helps someone, and that might be a Vista thing, is that there was no process called "Wcesscom.exe" running. I guessed and ended "wmdc.exe" and that seems to have worked. I didn't get the process to work without ending that at any rate, so perhaps it was the right thing to do for Vista.

Thanks again for the help. I needed to know about these points in order to make this work for me.

Cheers,

Hi Chris,

Tnx for the reminder....

BTW : i'd like to point to another little thingie .... about the battery-drain some of you have : before shutting down the hx4700, be sure to check if there's no more program running. I found out if I left some programs running when i shut down, there was a drain of 10% over night. Next time I checked if there were any programs running before shut off. I killed them all and next morning I had only a 1 % drain....

Now I only need to find a fix for the battery running hot while in my car.... :-)

What am I doing wrong????????

I have the Hx4705 I have been trying to get the damn thing into bootloader mode and it doesn't seem to be working. I am pressing the top left and bottom right buttons for about 1 second then pushing and holding the reset button at the bottom of the ipaq while holding those buttons. The screen goes black and the only way to turn it back on is by pushing the reset button at the bottom again and then I have to go through the whole windows process of aligning my screen again and i'm put back onto the today screen. I am currently running

Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition

Version 4.21.1088 (Build 15045.2.6.0)

Does anybody know what i'm doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated in advance, and thank you for everyone's hard work on a project like this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Huck33:
to put the hx in boot mode : pressing ITASK (Bottom right)+CONTACTS (top left) then press RESET one time and keep button press about 2-3 sec

the screen will go black and after you will screen with serial write at the top

Is Kozhura gone?

Perhaps it's the holiday season doldrums, but I fear that Kozhura's 4700 failure means the end of his wonderful ROMs is here. I've not seen any updates on his Russian site either. Would love to hear if anyone has any word on his latest projects.

Kozhura, I hope all is well with you and hope to see your name again on xda-developers. I am truly sorry that you were unable to revive your 4700. I thank you for all you have done to revive this PDA for us all. It was wonderful to experience your work. I think your R4 ROM is still the best and rock solid!

All the best for the new year (still hoping you get a PayPal account)!

Repeat upgrade ROM may solve speed and battery drain!

I upgrade my rom from original WM2003se to WM6rom ( Kozhura rom rev3 and Thai modify by ViVi)

After that I need to try many hacks and registry change to solve the long latency response and battery drain problems ( and I try a lot from this forums)

And after many trial+error ,it improve to be enough satisfy .

Until ,last 4 days ,I plan to give this to my brother,so I re-fresh(flash again) new install the same ROM and install all programs in SD card.

Surprising !! no need to chang any registry or hack ( except fake activesyn server that I routinely did it), WM6 work smooth,stable and no battery drain.

From this experience, I report to our members to notice,may be the problems may disturb only the overstep upROM from 2003se to WM6 ( If normal step from 2003se-->WM5-->WM6, may have not so much problems)

And luckily all the disturbs can solve if we try to re-flash ROM again.

This is my personaly experience and conclusion,so please re-think and try.

With best wishs and happy new year to all.

Battery

Just to let u know, my machine is also 5 years old.... Strangely enough, I had a battery drain again last week. For the first time in a month. I believe it could have something to do with the screen alignment. It was in landscape mode to have 'widescreeen-navigation' with TomTom. I put it back in portrait, and the battery held it's juice like nothing happened :-)

Battery drain - noticed something strange. If I charge my 4700 with ipaq off, once the charge light shows full charge, I remove the charge cable and touch the touchpad I hear quiet clicks indicating pad is powered - and that with ipaq off!

If I cycle it on/off all is normal.

Could this be a reason of some reports of battery drain?

Hi kozhura and others,

I own an Hp4700 as well. I have updated to WM6 and I was playing all the weekend with it! Last night I have installed a language extender tool (for regional settings). When I soft reset it (was the 1st time I was reseting the device) it didnt boot normaly again! In the begining I get the Hp screen with the version 2.1 (red digits) and then I get another one HP screen with out the 2.1 indication and finally I get a completely white sceen and thats all!

I tried so many times to load the wm6 form the beginning but it still happens the same thing.

I dont know is this is a bug but I would apreciate if you could help me to unstuck on this situation.

Thank you again...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vip_1:
Thanx for the info klifer. Unfortunately I have tried to load the rom bios of wm2003se that Hp provides in an exe file. But even if I install and then kill active sync the process comes up again and generally the hp utility fails when is trying to establish a connection with the device. The only flashing procedure that works for flashing the rom is the procedure that is described by kozhura in the wm6 4th edition file.

karl74 can you tell me the procedure to load wm5 or wm2003se? I just need the rom files for them to use the usb procedure that kozhura is describing. I just need rom files in *.nb0 format.

Thank you both for your immediate response.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MeanSquare:
Before the end of last year, I flashed my hx4700 over to the PDVIET ROM (v2.01.17_B20000) just to try it out. Performance-wise, it was no better than Koshuras Release 4. It did have a nifty little utility built in. However, I recently ran into a problem: It wouldn't connect with my WiFi router using WPA-Personal. I also had an easily solved issue where docking wouldn't automatically turn the unit on to start ActiveSync. For the first reason, I returned to Koshura's release 4 ROM. Now connecting to the router not only works, it's quick! ActiveSync (actually Windows Mobile Device Center) also autostarts.

With WM6 on my hx4700, I'm really not looking to upgrade until perhaps WM7 or WM8 comes out. (I wonder if WiMax will start to appear in some units as it's begun to appear in UMPC (at CES at least :))

I have installed tomtom 6 and have a tomtom bluetooth receiver. When I want to connect using bluetooth turn on it failed. The Ipaq told me to reset(something about memory) but still not works for me. When I delete the tom tom software it is possible for me to turn on the bleutooth.

what can I do, I like to use tom tom
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dirlan2001:
Hi,

As far as I know, you need to pair the BT GPS with your unit. Check the BT Manager in Settings/Connections. Moreover : normally you don't need to turn on BT when you want to use TomTom. The program will do that for you, if correctly configured of course.

Succes ...

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ipaquser07:
WODP, you reported a touch pad going crazy. My 4700 started to develop the following problem 2 weeks after installing WM6 v4.

If the start (or any) menu was displayed the cursor would continuely scroll up making selection almost impossible, device would operate slowly when this fault was occuring. I was prepared to assume a harware problem, however if I turn the device off and then back on the touch pad would behave properly.

My observations so far are that the device will always work correctly after being turned on. Then after (usually) hours of on time the touch pad problem occurs. Again a quick turn off/on fixes the problem.

I am considering reflashing, was going to wait for v5 as I can get around the fault fairly quickly.

I'd be interested to see if other have had this fault and can shed light on if its a hardware or software problem.

Cheers
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dirlan2001:
Indeed that is a serious problem. It's a long time ago I've seen or heard about this error. It used to be a common problem with the BT-drivers of the iPAQ 2210, until HP issued a fix for it. But I've not seen it on the hx4700.

Which make of hx4700 do u have ? Is it the early 64 MB or the more powerfull 128 MB ? Did you apply any BT-patch after upgrading ?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] therio:
I also got this problem, starting my Bluetooth GPS on the 4700 with WM6 (latest Kozhura build). Don't know what causes it, but my solution was to hard-reset the 4700, install GPS-software (ex. TomTom) and pair the BT device. This worked fine (and fast, because there where no other programs installed). After that I've reinstalled everything else I had on my device (without the advanced tweak programs and iPhone) , and to safe some space I've installed all programs on a CF card. Everything (incl. BT) works still shiny.

So what could cause the failure in my case is one of the tweakprograms, iPhone or too less dataspace. Also I haven't installed the hp fix for GPS. Comport 8 just works ok.
