Bro, i'm a new kid and want to mess with my ipaq 6828 since its getting slower...

So, which ROM u recommend me to use and what else do i need to mess with ur ROM?

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
The first and second thread of this post tells most of the story.

If you do not know whose rom to flash, try them out and find out the one with which you satisfy most.

Since you post here, I will surely recommend my rom first.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] BesFen:
Ofcourse, push the power and poke the reset hole in the same time and release both, you will go to the hard reset menu, that is O2 hard reset menu, if your device O2 you have to follow the instruction by press call & hang up button in the some time. But for Us press two "-" button to do hard reset.

If you want to go bootlosder press two "-" button and poke the reset hole in the same time.

PS: to helloworld1, thank you for being an open source minded
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
I'm still on the b39, reluctant to upgrade due to hassles in reinstalling everything, and shorter battery life, beside that, b39's glitches don't actually affect the way I use my 6828, and I can't see the real benefit in WM6.1 over WM6.0 at the moment.

If you are confident in flashing ROM, you can try both latest and most stable too see for yourself.

Hi helloworld1,

First of all, thanks for your good work to provide these roms.

I flashed my 6828 to b101 (20080524b101) successfully.

I know that it can read traditional chinese characters.

I would like to know how to change the default font file for it?

Here's what I saw from registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink]

Tahoma=\Windows\sunfon.ac3,SC_Song

Can I use 微軟正黑體 (msjh.ttf) for example?

hp rw6828 gone dead - pls help

Hey

I would appreciate any kind of help in recovering my hp rw6828. I tried upgrading my phone to 6.0 B39 using following process.

1. Pasted the file diskimg.nb0 to my memory card, inserted that to my phone

2. Restarted the phone with the key combination, two soft key's + reset

3. I got the HP logo and PBL boot screen, the phone had the logo displayed for almost 15 minutes and then after some time it went blank and all the other keys were glowing, I waited for a while and then tried soft resetting my phone. There was no luck and then I tried to take out the phone battery and restart the phone, now I don't get anything the phone is dead. Its not responding to the reset or power buttons. Please help me restore my phone back.

I checked it later its in semi-brick state.

I could retrieve the Boot Loader menu by pressing and holding the soft keys while inserting the battery, but after a while it goes blank. I have placed the image file on the root of the memory card. Let me know if I am doing anything wrong

2. Is there some way I can restore my phone settings to the old OS or I have to flash it now, there is no restoring back.

My memory card is fine as I could access it on other phone's.

Allright then...next is my question.. :D

i had my card formated with fat16 on XP and hard reset the ipaq too before doing the flasing.

So, i had the image in the minisd card (1GB no brand), only the image is in the memory.

i press the keys at the same time (2 "-" keys + a poke on reset button)

But, it stay in the old WM5...How could this be?

i dont know what is it look like, the bootloaer mode.

But, after i press the buttons, it went restart and showing HP logo with 1xxxxx3 WWE and 1xxxxx5 PBL...

I havent try flashing with PC...

Any comment and help would be gratefull thank...

Does not charge from car adapter if screen is not lit

Hello,

I have ROM b39 in my 6828.

I upgraded from b35 recently. Since I upgraded I find that I cannot charge the 6828 while in my car unless the screen is lit. It used to be OK and would charge normally (with screen off) with WM5 ROM and b35 ROM.

WM5 ROM had a setting for charging from USB - you set it to fast or slow charge. b39 ROM does not have anything like that.

Does anyone have a fix for this or is there some setting that I don't know about? It is very inconvenient if my battery is low and I want to charge while driving to work as I have to keep pressing the power on button.:(

Thanks.

What is the output current of your car adaptor? mine is about 1A, and it charges OK, may be go to eBay or local electronic shop and get a new one that works (it's quite cheap here in Australia).

I used to be able to charge on USB from a Mac, but not anymore, however if I plug it into any Windows box/laptop, it will charge fine.

To charge from a Mac, there is a trick, install WM5torage, run the app and click activate, it will charge fine, may be you can try this on your car adaptor.

Hands Free problem

Hi Helloworld,

I am getting frustrated with Bluetooth hands free now, this problem is persistent and I could only find 1 person on the entire internet who had exactly the same problem, who also posted in this XDA forum:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=1666697

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=308752&page=9

Unfortunately the solution discussed in the above posts didn't work for me.

I have included a screen capture which shown during a phone call, I get both Headset and Speaker Phone icon on the task bar, there is no sound from the device's speaker phone however, instead I get extremely loud and distorted voice through my BT headset, and the person at the other end could hardly hear me, I tested this by calling myself using a home phone.

So, if I hold down the green "Call" button to deactivate the Speaker Phone icon, my BT headset volume will go back to normal, BUT the microphone on the 6828 is used instead of the BT headset's microphone!!!, so I have to speak into the phone itself while listening to the BT headset!!

So Helloworld, would you please verify this happens on your latest ROM? and also can anyone with a BT headset try this as well? Helloworld, do you think if I send you my bluetooth section of the registry key for you to examine will help?

Please note that I have 3 different pair of BT headsets (2 mono 1 stereo), they all produce the same result!!

Thanks!

Hi Helloworld,

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I will post the Bluetooth section of the registry later when I'm near a computer.

I am out of idea now, this problem seems like the camera problem, temperamental, the BT hands free was OK before, only just recently it become like this.

This is what I done yesterday:

(1) Did a full backup of current state with SPB Backup.

(2) Hard reset, after initial setup, paired all 3 of my BT headsets, everyone of them working PERFECT!! no speaker phone, just normal, except for A2DP auto reconnect. So this confirmed SOMETHING is causing the problem.

(3) Restore backup made in (1) which has the BT problem.

(4) Upon reset... the problem has GONE?!! WTF? :confused: and the BT handsfree, wireless stereo have been working fine since (3)?!

I will still upload the .reg which supposed to have the problem later.

*sigh*...

Thanks,

K

I just had a thought, MAY BE... at some stage something has caused a hardware glitch in the 6828, into a state that it cannot get out of, until a hard-reset or the battery is taken out. If this happen again, I will try take the battery out to see.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
Emmmmm, my wm6 rom really have some strange problem. All the rom works very well until one day, the the phone radio is not functional. It can not dectect my mobile operator, and then the camera flicker like mad. I hard reset several time and can not get it work. Roms from b29 to b46 all stop working. Interesting ? Strange?

Also, spb backup restores can not restore something. I don't get why. I installed resco explorer and can uninstall successfully. But after a full restore, I can neither uninstall or reinstall it!

This makes me recalling a programmer's phrase "Code rot". A program is working very well without any problem at first. And after leaving the code for a while, some problems occur. And after months, the code can not even be used due to serious problem just like the food rots. Maybe my roms rot!

Anyway, just for fun.

Hello Helloworld

I'm still on b36.

I'm hesitating upgrading.

I read that the 6.1 ROMs comsumes more power. Is there a big difference beween b110 and b36 ?

The main bug I have is : if I soft reboot 3 (?) times the mobile, then I cannot switch on or off the WIFI. So sometime I have to unplug the battery.

Is this corrected since b36 ?

I also experience some freeze while I was playing around with the today themes screens.

No special problem with BT.

Thanks kusanagi for your trick to be able to charge in the car with WM5torage.

I'll try it asap. (I have a 750mA car charger)

This forum is so good !:)
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] helloworld1:
The battery life is a little shorter ,about ten to thirty minutes shorter. The power management patch will cover this.

The wifi has no problem in my test.

The freeze problem occurs but the possibility is very very low. I have encountered only twice after 6.1 rom.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] foulke:
Whaoo, fast reply helloworld.

Ok, I'll give the new rom a try.

For you information I tried to charge in my car, it doesn't work. I tried a 1.25A car charger. (Covertec)

In "power" menu, I see the display "charging" for about 5 seconds, and then charge switches off (displays "power remaining :"). The red LED doesn't turn on. If I have WMStorage and activated or not, no change.

Are there any changes on charge with the b110 ?
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
Sorry to hear the WM5Storage didn't work for you, I think as far as charging concern, we have mixed results here, my OEM car/home charger can charge no problem regardless of ROM version, it only fails to charge on a Mac based computers without the present of Activesync, which can be overcome with the help of WM5Storage activated (on b39).

I also have had usb cables that worked before and now didn't want to work, using a different USB cable fixes that, strange? I would think that all cables are wired the same? but apparently even varied cables produce varied results. emmm....:confused:

FYI, if the Red LED doesn't continuously stay on, that means no charging.

That would be really good, helloworld1. The charging problem is a real nuisance.

I've got a work around with WM5torage but it would be really nice if your ROMs have the correct charging software.:cool:

Will you only do that for WM6.1 or do it also for WM6?

Also, which is the recommended WM6.1 ROM? You have b39 listed as recommended ROM for WM6 but no recommendation for WM6.1.

This is really weird, did a full SPB Backup, hard-reset, then retored from SPB Backup, my Bluetooth (Speaker phone) problem is gone, and now guess what? I can charge my 6828 on a Mac with any usb cables not using any tricks!! that's right, no WM5Storage is needed!!! WTF?! Looks like the ROM has a mind of it's own.

So try do a full backup with SPB Backup, hard-reset then restore, hope that will fix the charging issue for you, OR try take out the battery for awhile then put back on and see if it works.

I suspect there are lockups within the hardware, which required a hard-reset or battery taken out to reset it.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] finance:

Weird all right!:eek:

Before I installed WM5torage, I had to replace my battery (bought a Hong Kong large capacity one that died so put the original back in) but it didn't make any difference to the charging problem. Maybe I didn't leave it out long enough :confused: although it certainly looked like a hard reset to me.

I'm using PPCPimBackup, didn't do a backup before I took the battery out though. How does that backup program compare with SPB Backup?

Thank you for the reply.

non-SDHC miniSD card - will work OK?

Thanks for the reply.

I see that there are different kinds of miniSD cards?

The 4GB one I am looking at on e-bay, the description says "This is not the SDHC type / version therefore it can be used with older devices too that support 4 GB functions and of course new devices that support 4 GB" :( . Does that make a difference? :confused:

Ah, looked it up on the Internet, difference between SD and SDHC explained, either should work OK in 6828 if it has SDHC driver.
[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
Someone reported the 8G SDHC worked fine a few pages back, you can read it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=2258878#post2258878

So I'll say as long as it's SDHC labelled, it will worked regardless of capacity, but for the moment 8G is the largest in microSD which you need a miniSD adaptor, for some reason, I can't find SDHC version of the miniSD.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development] kusanagi:
The battery out method is only my guess, if that didn't work for you, you can try both hard-reset and battery out.

Correction: I said I could use any cables, I thought I could until I tried the 6828 original cable on a Mac, it didn't work! BUT the cable that came with my 2.5" portable ext hard drive which didn't work before now worked, I'm actually charging it now on a Mac. So try a few usb cables you can find.

I am so wondered what differences between these cables have...

PimBackup only backup your contacts, calendar etc, but not any of the installed programs, SPB Backup however (a commercial software which is cheap to buy), do backup everything, with it you can restore your phone back to exactly how it was after a hard-reset (assumed you made a backup before hard-reset).
