I must be running 03, i know I had upgraded it to 5 at one time, I assumed I had never downgraded. (i found it in a box just because of the WM6 update) I'll try the update to 5 first

You might want to try my system monitor tool so that you can always tell when the CPU is stuck at high speed and usage. It doesn't tell which process or thread is using the CPU, but I guess you know which one when the system becomes slow. I'm only using my tool on 2003 but it should work here.

And hows the 0Mb PP ROM doing? Anyone else is experimenting with it?

Greets to all
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
I just loaded the 0Mb PP ROM onto my Axim and got all my programs loaded back on. I agree that it appears to be running faster and has the same level of responsiveness as WM2003SE had for me. However, even before loading anything onto my Axim (I checked immediately after finishing the ROM flash) I found that without any memory cards plugged in, I only had 32mb free RAM and with memory cards, I had between 28mb and 30mb. With the 4Mb PP version, I had 34mb free with all programs closed even after installing all my usual programs. Any ideas what might cause the differences in free RAM?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zeus_Alex:
I really have no idea why is there less memory than with a 4Mb PP... I am rebuilding the rom as i speak and will debug in the PC emulator...

But the most strangest thing is really how my Axim behaves. So fast and smooth and i only have 3Mb free of program space.

I have to play a little more with the rom and test...

Also, i believe that the most stable Rom was the A02 PR2, thats why i will play with that version too and see if theres any diference.

A02 RTM is kind of slugish, but dont know why. I had the 80% block at soft-reset twice today and my battery is going too fast, while in version A02 PR2 that wasn't happening.

As i've said, i will play with both versions and check whats wrong...

I'll stay in touch. In the meantime,who flashed with 0Mb PP, go ahead and give some feedback...

Greets to all.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zeus_Alex:
I opened a new thread for the 0Mb PP to not overload this one, wich is the original.

All discussion abou it, as well as the link to the rom is there:

I have been using your A02 RTM for a couple of days and it seems promising. However, I have experienced issues regarding filesys. I tried a couple of the solutions mentioned here such as moving all apps to the SD card. This, by the way, really helped. Furthermore, I initiated the fake server trick and that seems to help too, but I have to try it out a bit more to be certain.

I have one question, though. Can the device now hook up to 54g only routers? The tweak solution on wm5 is not possible since a string lacks in wm6.

http://www.mydigitallife.info/2006/08/01/enable-wireless-g-80211g-support-in-htc-universal-pocket-pc-phone/

I also checked my TYTN wm6 and there is no string there as well, but this is a 54g device.

So, if I can only can hook up to 11b, is there a solution to tweak it to work on 54g (i.e. 11g)?

I hope it is ok that I posted the last question here since I don't know if this is related to this A02 RTM version.

Thank you, again, MagLite. You have really prolonged the life expectancy of my Axim. I would also thank the other members here for contributing their knowledge and experience. It is not often I find such a dedicated group of people.

well, i think i have mostly some of the 'attacks' when in crade (after sync), my PDA freezes totally i nearly always have to reset. how to apply this fake-server? (using vista/wmdc)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] satani:
well, i heard about this registry-hack, too. (is maybe the same as in tweaks2k2), but for me it somehow didn't work. switching my wLAN to G, the pda sees, but doesnt connect, in B/G mix, it does connect, as it's using the b.

What would happen if I added the missing string to the WM6 registry and tweaked it? Do you think it would work?

Posible FILESYS.EXE Slowdown Patch

Posible FILESYS.EXE Slowdown Patch:

Original thread: http://forum.brighthand.com/showthread.php?t=222190 written by: Menneisyys

Instructions to recompile and put the file into any device.

1. Download this file: patch_filesys-f3.exe

2. Every Device assign a different PID Number for msflash.dll, you need to find it.

For find the PID number you need this application pps ; unzip it to any directory on your PC

make sure your Device is cradled and (being) synchronized (that is, ActiveSync is active).

From a CMD command line on PC enter the ‘pps.exe -t >out.txt’ command (without the ‘ marks) in the directory you’ve unzipped isutils-pps.zip to. If out.txt is only 87 bytes long and it only contains the “ERROR: ITGetProcessList - Not enough storage is available to process this command.” message, reset, recradle your PDA and run the test again.

Open out.txt with a notepad and find msflash.dll, In my case, the line is like this:

cfe6cd82 03dc9e68 ff ff 0.0 0.0 msflash.dll cfea5752: filesys.exe

the first 6 bytes of the line are the PID Number for msflash.dll In my case is: CF E6 CD 82 This is the hex number we are looking for.

3. Open the patch_filesys-f3.exe download on step 1 with a Hex Editor (I used UltraEdit)

Find the direction 00000440h and you see something like this:

00000440h: 04 00 A0 E1 30 80 BD E8 82 BD F6 F3 04 E0 2D E5 ;

you need to enter in reverse mode your PID number in this line.

The original file is for PID Number: F3 F6 BD 82 and in the exe file is writen like this: 82 BD F6 F3. Look were it start.

In MY CASE, my PID Number is: CF E6 CD 82 and I needed to write: 82 CD E6 CF

the modified line of patch_filesys-f3.exe is:

00000440h: 04 00 A0 E1 30 80 BD E8 82 CD E6 CF 04 E0 2D E5 ;

Save the file and close the Hex Editor.

3. Copy the file to axim to /WINDOWS/START UP to make the axim to open it every soft reset.

If a pop up start saying: "Filesys thread found Click OK to slow it down" Congrats, you make it!

If says: "Sorry, cannot find filesys: msflash thread!" it's means that PID number is wrong, goto step 2 again.

PLEASE TEST IT, AND TELL THE RESULTS!!!!!!!

sorry my poor English.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Zeus_Alex:
Nice find, altough i already been there and tried it in my Axim with WM6... For mos users its ok and it works, but for me its not as i wanted it to be. That patch uses an "always on Filesys at 25%"...

As i have said, its ok for must users, but i want a 0% filesys on my Axim. Thats why i'm testing something to work it out for good...

I'll keep in touch.

Note: Nonetheless, its a good find, and an easy one..Cheers..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] satani:
according to my previous post concerning freezes or high cpu-usage in activsync: i used the registry-hack, (by deleting following keys : http://www.canit.se/~unlogic/regkeys.jpg (from aximsite / http://www.aximsite.com/boards/x50-x51-forums/104366-wm5-here-stay-wm5-tips.html . this caused extreme low performance and even freezes when in cradle with active sync, so keep these reg-keys in wm6.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] migatxu:
What is the normal % when filesys don`t work hard? Im going to install something to see, if its less than 25% I will not see anu reason to use it, but when someone has made this, it will be for something, I think. Testing it now...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mindfield:
Filesys only consumes resources when the system tells it to compact main memory. Otherwise it sits quietly at 0%. The problem is the frequency with which the system calls filesys to perform the compaction, and the amount of CPU time filesys consumes when it does.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SPimps:
I seem to be having wireless problems, and I would appreciate if anyone can help me figure out this problem I'm having.

The wireless is very temperamental. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just doesn't. Often the wireless picks up a signal then drop it straight away, and it cycles like this over and over again.

Not sure what's actually wrong... Tried hard resets and wot-not.

The wireless seemed to be fine on it's original OS (WM 2003).

I'm still using the same wireless AP with SSID turned off, MAC Address filtering and WPA-PSK TKIP settings.

Ideas?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jdog_12345:
Same problem here. I had to go back to previous release prior to RTM. I think it is PR02. It still is a little quirky but not as bad. I have tried WEP and WPA-PSK and had problems with both of them. I was able to get it work sometimes by assigning a static IP but it would not work with the RTM ROM.

Backup CAB Problems

I've recently taken the plunge and upgraded from 2003SE to WM6 AO2 RTM. All went very smoothly, as I'd taken the trouble to read the various relevant threads.

I'm having an annoying problem with the provided Backup program installed using the CAB.

Before I install this, all is well. After installling - and it will only work when installed to device, not to storage cards - I find that programs are dropped out of memory when the device is switched off. For instance, I can have Mobi reader, TCPMP, and a GPS application all running OK. Switch off, switch on, and maybe one of them will be still running. This is annoying for mobi and gps app, because it will have forgotten screen settings and which map was loaded etc... Problem persists after backup prog is removed, forcing a re-flash to cure. Annoying but not terminal.

Anyone else having problems with backup CAB?

Maglite - fantastic effort on your part: thank you!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Doogul:
Uodate: this is nothing to do with the backup prog! Device drops progs out of mem when switched off without backup prog installed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chezdude:
Good on you, 'mate. I'm guessing that makes cavyman very happy... :)

I found the same thing. It will install to an SD card, but it won't run from there. You have to install it (and Transcriber) to Main Memory for them to work. This is on A02 RC2. I haven't taken the plunge to RTM yet as I was waiting to see what shook out with all the PP testing that's been going on.

Now, I can't say if I've seen the auto-exiting program issue or not, but I haven't really looked. I have almost everything installed to SD card with only Backup and Transcriber installed to Main Memory. Even Resco Explorer is installed to SD card and seems to work fine.

Here, Here... many thanks for all the work.

chezdude
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Doogul:
Well, reading is something I'm not bad at on a good day. :D

I installed everything to SD card, too. I'm wondering if maybe I just need a bigger page pool setting to run these concurrently. Maybe I should try an 8mB PP, using the tools posted.

D.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
Heck yeah it does!! I'm always impressed with the people who have enough sense to read through the things the rest of us have worked hard on and taken the time to write! ;) :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cavyman:
I know this probably sounds REALLY out of character for me, but instead of trying a bigger pagepool, why don't you look into trying a 0mb pagepool. If you haven't seen it already, there is a (fairly) new thread here for people trying the 0mb PP with WM6 on X50v.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=332368

I can't say that I believed the posts about better speed/performance with a 0mb pagepool, but once I tried it out myself, there's no way I can argue with the results. I'm simply amazed by the performance of my Axim now--however, I'm a bit dumbfounded as to why exactly it improves performance. Zeus_Alex has done a LOT of testing and has really taken the lead with the 0mb pagepool and I'm really impressed with his findings.

Though my Axim has what most would consider "less than optimal" free RAM with several programs open, performance is hardly affected at all. With Contacts, Messaging, Windows Live, MS OneNote, File Explorer, and NetFront all open, I have about 8mb free RAM. Performance is still amazing regardless of the free RAM that most of us have been so crazy about obtaining for so long.

I know it all might sound too good to be true, but try it for yourself. If you don't like it, you can always go back to the way it was. But, I am 99% sure anyone who tries the 0mb pagepool won't go back. ;)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gekko300:
Have been following the discussions around the WM6 ROM, and finally took the plunge yesterday. Having read all the relevant threads the upgrade from WM2003SE to WM60 A02 RTM (0 MB PP) went flawlessly. I have to agree that the 0 MB PP really rocks. The speed is the same as it used to be in WM2003. I have all my apps installed to main memory. I'll wait a few weeks before concluding, but my hat off the all you who work on this! Excellent work!!!

Not to get sidetracked here, but I am having some problems managing the Bluetooth GPS settings. Having set it up to Com8, TomTom recognises and uses the GPS signal fine. OziExplorer does not! I am unable to get OziExplorer to see any GPS signal. Have been reading that some apps are not too fond of the way WM5/6 shares the GPS signal (in software). Any ideas?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Doogul:
Ok, maybe I'll give it a try this weekend. Thanks for the reference. I'd started reading the 0mB PP thread, but wasn't sure it would cure my problem, as no-one else seemed to have reported the same symptoms.

Will post outcome next week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Update:

WM6 with 0, 4mb and 8mb page pool all drop progs out when switching back on. WM5 A02 and A03 also do it, but not quite as often. Usual scenario is that I have mobibook and TCPMP and it will drop one or the other. Book file is 629kb, film is 450Mb.

I'll probably go back to 2003SE, and continue to try out successive WM6 releases as and when they come out. It's a shame, 'cos WM6 looks a lot prettier, but 2003 does everything I need anyway.

D..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Doogul:
Can you tell WM6 not to control the GPS automatically? In

Settings -> System ->External GPS

[I'm assuming it's not built in] you can tell WM6 that you want to sort it out yourself.

Hi Migatxu,

Please see above. I went as far as the first hard reset. A message said something like update installed? then the screen went blank and the Axim switched off and would not restart at all.

Hi migatxu,

I repeated the steps and something is happening now.....image updating box erasing storage progress bar.

I'll update again when it completes.

OK thats normal when you install the bootloader of another version. Because you've installed the bootloader first, I hope. Then you must repeat the steps, but select the WM6 ROM in the list of the SD Image Loader. Try

Edit: If you're sure that you've installed the bootloader, rename DiMa to WM50 and try again, first bootloader then so image.

I got WM6 running today, installed MvRTrueVGA to run true VGA, but my gosh, this caused the text to be so small I was squinting :eek: The PDA became almost unusable. It also caused icons to go missing as well.

Here is the only way that worked for me to go to SD image update (each time !!!)

Go into the SD Image Loader by pressing and holding the Wireless and Power buttons on your device and then pressing the stylus into the reset hole on the back of the device. After pressing and releasing the reset button less than 1s keep the Wireless and Power buttons pressed in until you see the SD Image Loader screen appear. It should only take a few seconds after the reset button is released.

Getget, why re-post something that has been posted far too many times already. Your post wasn't even in response to anyone having a problem getting into the SD Image Loader. I already posted detailed instructions on the first page of this thread. Apparently you didn't read that.

I've been really impressed with how this thread hasn't jumped to over 100 pages like the WM6 A01 thread did. A lot of people have been really respectful in that a lot of extraneous posts have not been introduced in this thread. It would be nice if you would follow suit and not simply post something just to say you did. Thank you. :)

As far as this question, again, you haven't been reading MagLite's WM6 threads, have you? This question was already asked in the WM6 A01 thread. A simple search would have revealed that for you. *HINT HINT* In case you're missing my point, SEARCH FIRST, then ask if and ONLY if your searches did not answer your original question.

I have attached a screenshot that MagLite actually posted in the WM6 A01 thread. See if you can find the answer to your question. :rolleyes:

-WM50_K_A02_X50v_WM50_EN.nb0

-WM50_K_A02_X50v_WM50_EN_nb0.crc

Ihave loaded the bootloader normally and I have tried to hard reset, it went all black like swiched off. I have tried to hard reset again no way. So is there something I can do to revive it or it is already dead ?

Hey guys,

I searched the forum for this news but couldn´t find it anywhere. Therefore, I am sorry if it is old news.

However, if you had the bootloader loop problem you may want to read this.

LG finally admitted officially that some (a lot) units of the LG G4 have a design failure that affects the phones bootloader. Something like some badly fixed components.

" LG Electronics has been made aware of a booting issue with the LG G4 smartphone that has now been identified as resulting from a loose contact between components. Customers who are experiencing booting issues with their LG G4s should contact their local carrier from where the G4 was purchased or a nearby LG Service Center (www.lg.com/common) for repair under full warranty.

Customers who purchased their G4 devices from non-carrier retailers should contact an LG Service Center with the understanding that warranty conditions will differ. LG Electronics is committed to providing the highest standards of product quality and customer service and apologizes for the inconvenience caused to some of our customers who initially received incorrect diagnoses. "

Good luck!
