Try going to dells website and following instructions there. For this update you need to sync the pda to your computer and install from Your computer.

When you go to put WM6 on you use the SD card and loader there should be two files for this. good luck

Maglite. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING !!!! really like everything

I have one problem perhaps maybe someone can confirm or deny it being only me or not. I can only use one battery??? I drain a battery to 10% or so and take it out and put a fresh charged battery in. ONly it leaves it at 10 % I take the battery i took out charge it back to full while in the pda. PUt the battery that it told me was 10% back in and it says it is fully charge. Does this make sense or do i need to explain it better.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ultraprimeomega:
you are right and you also need to explain better i been having the same problem but as i see this im downgrading to 2003 or maybe wm5 i feel that its going to be a while until a fix is done as i dont have exp. on this i must wait

Hi,

I see this pretty much as a dead project.

If you have issues with tis rom or the others, I would downgrade to one of the roms dell provided.

Sounds to me that maglite is no longer a source for development and no one else has stepped up other than the 0MB pagepool rom that was posted in another thread.

This sounds negative but no one was promised unlimited time to get these roms 100% flawless and even the best stuff from Dell had flaws too and the support there sucked.

I think this is where people decide if the current roms work for them or, if they do not, then it is time to downgrade.

Me, I'm good with the rom I have installed and plan to, even with the flaws, stick with it.

No sense in complaining about no support for you were never promised it at any time.

Now, if someone does step up and continue things, great, but I have to say that it looks unlikely.

Looking to see if anyone knows how to fix this. I love the AO3 and the only problems I have had are with the battery. Let me explain it a little better than in my other post. I have three batteries, Label A,B,and C. Batteries A,B, and C are fully charged through the PDA and the cradle charger. I have Battery A in the pda and while listening to music or watching a movie I drain battery A down to 10%. I change out the battery with battery B. I get a memory error, I dont know why but it only happens when i change the battery it doesn't seem to switch to internal power?. Anyway after the reset it comes up giving me the battery low alert and showing battery B at 10%, but i know its fully charged as it just came off the charger. I take Battery B out, and dont charge it, and put Battery A back in and fully charge it in the pda on the cradle. After letting it fully charge I put battery B back in, remember i didn't charge it, and it reads 100%? I am partially confused. It looks like i can only use one battery and thats the only Gripe i have. Anyone have any ideas how I can fix this? or point me in the direction of getting the tools i need to look/edit the rom, I dont want to downgrade to WM5.

Thanks in advance for anyones help!!!!

WiFi & CPU 100%

I am using the A02 (16.09.07) build on my x50v. Everything seems great except this:

1. When I use the Wifi button to switch it on, it turns on bluetooth instead.

2. Wifi works perfect when I use the Dell Utility to turn it on, but subsequently when I turn it off, it goes into some sort of a limbo state. While in the Limbo state, the CPU utilization is at a constant 100%., slowing down the device to a crawl. Nothing seems to get rid of it, even rebooting the device does not help. I see the Wifi icon on the task bar without the horizontal arrows, not sure what that indicates. In this state, the Dell utility for Wifi thinks Wifi is off, but when I press the button to switch it on, it comes back with no change in the status. Eventually it takes me an hour of switching Wifi, bluetooth on and off, rebooting several time etc. all sorts of random things to eventually get the Wifi truly off.

After its turned off, the system works stable and efficiently.

I tried hard going through pages and pages of this post as well as the previous one with the A02 release, but surprisingly did not find similar problems or solutions to it.

I therefore request anyone who has encountered a similar problem to help me out. I love my device, and I love the release too, but this odd problem is making my life miserable.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Firebird2000:
I have just instaled A03 beta1 and so far, much better than WM5. Better speed, nicer look too!

I also am having problems with the WIFI. When I try to turn it on, it acts like it's turning on, but does't. Sometimes a soft reset fixes it sometimes not.

But one thing for me that fixes it every time, is opening the battery tray.

If I open the battery, the unit goes dark, then I latch it again, the unit comes back on with the usual warning that the battery has been opened, but then the WIFI works likes it should.

Any Ideas why that would be?

Thanks.

My Dell Axim x50v sometimes runs slow and cpu @ 100%

Hi,

I have upgraded to WM6.0 A02 rc2 and been using it for the past month. It runs great and fast even when having many applications installed.

I am experiencing 2 problems:

1) Sometimes (often) my cpu runs at 100% for 5 or more mins which slows down system performance big time, then cpu returns to normal after that period.

Even when I don't have any appz running in the background cpu runs at 100%. I used pocket mechanic and memmaid to monitor cpu utilization.

I realized that a process called filesys.exe was the one causing the cpu to run at 100%. This 100% cpu utilization was happening even before installing any applications on my pda (after hard reset). I am thinking that it has something to do with the operation system itself. This sluggishness happens at random.

Is there anyone else experiencing this sluggish behavior due to filesys.exe hogging the cpu to 100%?

2) The second problem I am experiencing is the bluetooth limitations. I can't connect directly from the bluetooth setting utlility like I use to with WM2003se. The A2dp profile works like a charm, but the serial, sync, etc... profiles can't be connected to directly through the BT manager. Also with WM2003se I use to explore the bluetooth profiles of the devices before connecting to them directly form the BT utility.

Would you have any bluetooth utility (stack) that allows me to connect to all the other services of the BT device I want to connect to? Also is there a way to increase my bluetooth profile support?

If ANYONE out there experiencing the same problem, please PM me.

Thanks and regards,

Edmister
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] satani:
the first problem you mentionned is the known filesys-prolem (which also existed in WM5 aswell). It's still not fully fixed, but it also depends on, how many programs you installed on internal ram/storage. (as far as i experienced - less programs in ram and storage - less filesys-problems.) except for the active-sync-problem, where filesys is still stealing performance (but it was also in wm5 so). this can make it possible that you sometimes are not able to sync or even connect your x50v to the pc. (but this can e worked around by using bluetooth-sync.

for using bluetooth sync, you have to put you bluetooth-usb-stick in to the FIRST (!!) USB-Port on the MAINBOARD (!!) (otherwise, the active-snc-service may not show up and work). the first USB-port is the top-left on the rear-side of the PC/mainboard. Tested and proved working (including filesync and data-transfer via bluetooth) at Windows Vista Ultimate X64-Version.

I installed XM6 A03 Beta1 and have used for a week. Before that I used maglite's XM5 A03.

Overall this XM6 A03 is better. however, there is serious battery leak with it :mad:

With 8 hours' standby, battery level reduced by 10~20%.

(I only installed few applications, no today plug-in at all!!)

by comparision, XM5 A02 observed only 2~3% reduction in 8 hours standby.

XM6 A03 seems very bad in terms of battery leak. Any input ?

Battery drain / wifi

I seem to have the same problem. It is much more prominent if I fire up wifi (i lose 1% every 20 seconds wifi is running) and then go into standby/sleep. It seems as though battery drain happens (albiet not as fast) with wifi on even in standby/sleep mode. If you disable wifi before standby, the drain isn't so bad, although not nearly long as WM5 A03

Aside from that, I do love WM6 and the snappy response time the X50v has now.

Downgrading

First of all, I would like to say great job Maglite, you are doing awesome work.

Second, I have 2 Axims (both x50v) and have upgraded sucessfully to WM6.

Since I have no real need for 2, I am giving one to a friend of mine, but first he asked me to downgrade it back to WM2003 SE (the OS that shipped with the device) as WM2003 is the only OS that has the original Bluetooth stacks.

Can someone post a link to a download for the Windows Mobile 2003 SE image that came with Axim x50v. It would be greatly appericeated.

Hi,

I'm trying to install the A03 Beta 1 ROM.

It gets about halfway through the stage "Reading SD card" then it fails with a checksum error.

RAM checksum:0xB4F4EE4D

CRC checksum:0x1309512B

My Axim is currently on the official Dell WM5 ROM (A02)

What could be wrong? Could this be caused by a fault device or bad SD card?

UPDATE: I've tried with two SD cards and both have failed, with a checksum error. So I don't think it's the card at fault.

Thanks!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] meklord:

Battery Issue

I have to say first, what a great ROM. The only issue I am having, is when i replace my battery. I think the system isnt recognizing that I am changing the battery. This is what happens:

- Battery becomes low, say 22%.

- I power down, and remove the battery, and put in my spare (fully charged as indicated by the green light on the cradle)

- When I turn the system back on, it asks me if i want to erase all memory, i choose no.

- The system still reports the battery at 22%.

I have fiddled with this numerous times, at different %'s and all sorts of things, and cant seem to figure it out. I think either the system is having a problem telling the two batteries apart because they are both exactly the same battery (dell stock batteries, 1100 mAh)

I tried searching for batteries in the threads, didnt come up with anything. Anyone have any ideas, or try switching batteries before on Mag's WM6?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] stty:
I did turn off wifi, and stopped any running programs by going to mem tab in settings. Those are the must-do things I always do before turning x50v into stand-by, no matter I use wm2k3se, wm5, or wm6...

Is it possible to perform a backup, of A02, using spb backup or some other utility then install A03 over A02 and use the backup tool to restore the apps installed in A02, or is it better to start fresh with A03 and reinstall and make all changes again?

Wifi Drain / button activation

Maglite,

I think I discovered some of the wifi drain/lockup issues with the AO3 rom. It would seem that if the device is draining the battery to nothing despite wifi being off, I noticed that if you turn BT on via the BT icon, then trigger a wifi off through the side wifi button toggle, then turn it back on and then off again via the button, the problem goes away.

When the wifi is stuck on, the LED doesn't blink to indicate that it's on and the wifi icon shows that it's off, however if you go through the Dell wifi comm manager and try to turn it on, it doesn't come on. The above is the only way I know that fixed the problem with the Axim mysterious battery drain during standby.

I hope that helps.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maxpower097:
SPB Backups says not to restore images from previous or different OS versions. So I wouldn't. I think its best just to start fresh. I have found a couple tiny issues in A03 too but I think its far better then any other WM I've tried.

Alarm issue again...there is a "WM6 Alarm Issues" thread for this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=330744

Then change yours to 8mb and drop the subject. Simple solution - we're all happy now.

For the record, Dell never used an 8mb pagepool for X50v. Dell, in its "let's throw this broken ROM out there" methods, used a 12mb pagepool which has been proven by many Axim users to just be too big for almost all purposes.

However, I hope this will put an end to any more requests for MagLite to put out varying pagepool size ROMs. Everyone here has been given the instructions and links to tools needed to change the pagepool size on their own. I said this a while back and I'll say it again:

If you know what a pagepool is and why changing it could be beneficial to you, then you probably have the technical knowledge needed to make the pagepool change on your own. If you don't understand what a pagepool is, DON'T WORRY WITH CHANGING IT.

WM6 WEP encryption with PEAP certificate fails to conect

Hello all,

I believe that there is an issue with WEP encryption and PEAP certificates. This used to work in WM5 (must have been one of the only things that actually worked on that no so good DELL ROM ;), but I have tried this on every MagLite WM6 releases (from A01 to A02 RTM) to no avail.

I have been following this thread as well as the WM6 A01 thread and I am pretty confident that I have read every single posts within the last month. I _do not_ believe that this issue has been address before, and I sure hope it is not a stupid configuration error on my part.

My company uses an open authentication with WEP encryption and a PEAP certificate. Here is how you configure this:

1. Install the PEAP certificate. Normally called something like bob.cer

2. You can see the certificate in the certificate store under the "root" certificate.

3. Configure your wireless connection like this:

Authentication: "Open"

Encryption: "WEP"

Select the "key is provided for me automatically" check box

Select the "Use IEEE 802.1x network", and select PEAP as the EAP type.

Now, when you click "properties", you get the "Cannot log on... This network requires a personal certificate to positively identify you." error message. And of course, connecting to the network doesn't work.

This is incorrect, as it should allow to select the PEAP certificate (bob.cer).

For the records, I have tested WEP encryption with an hex key, WPA-PSK, no encryption, and all these methods work fine, at my office and at home.

I would like someone else to confirm this as being an issue, as I believe this is the first post on this topic.

I am not too sure on how we can fix this. One possibility is that the application looks in the "personal certificate store" only (which is empty at the moment), and fails to see the PEAP certificate, which is under the root store. A01 release would not allow us to install certificates. A02 fixed that, but I wonder *.cer certificates are installed properly by WM6.

I have of course tried to install a personal certificate from one of my other wifi networks, and I can select it using the method above, but there is no way to get to the actual PEAP certificate to be associated.

My apologies for the novel I wrote. Sometimes, clarity does require more than four lines ;). Even more apologies if this has been posted before. Your comments on this issue are very much welcome. I will continue to investigate...

hi, to maglite i tip my hat of to you for the great service you and your friends have done for us. you have given us a program that dell had not designed for use w/ the x50v. i would just like to say that not all x50vs are created equal. some problems some people are having may not be due to the program be the x50v processes the info. true the program isn't perfect and in time w/ patience, these problems could be resolved. as for now, you have given us an os that a huge majority of x50v user are very happy with. again, thanks for giving x50v users an early christmas.
