Nope, it's not only you. It was mentioned a few pages back, and I noticed the same issue myself. Also, it'snot only Pocket Plus dropdown lists, but also some system dropdown lists.

Apart from that, I also could not select multiple files in the file explorer by sliding over several files.

In PIE, the "zoom out" function resulted in a white, empty square, instead of a zoomed out view.

Last, as mentioned before, the Zipview doesn't work.

Problems with Infrared port

Hello.

I have installed the latest version of Windows Mobile 6.1 for ALKOR RC (Built 20755.1.4.0).

I can not connect to anything through the infrared port (which seems not configured or does not exist).

Ever since I installed the 6.1 version of WM I could not use (both of the Sanjay version of the PhamQuang as the Kozhura).

Is there any solution or driver to operate the infrared port?.

A greeting.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MagooChris:
Hi All,

I’m currently running Sanjay’s lite rom and I encountered a strange problem last night. I was running out of program memory, and so I did a soft reset to clear it up. When turning back on it froze on the blue HP screen… so after it not moving for a bit I hit the reset button again and it just turned off… the power button wouldn’t turn it back on. So I removed the battery and put it back in straight away… I then pressed the power button and it turned back on… but here is the strange bit… it kept my today theme, owner information, PocketPC Name, Time zone and Region… but almost all other settings were reset… the clock was back to a default time, backlight and power settings were undone and the most annoying of all of the losses was the fact that Pocket Plus (the only program that was installed to the main memory) lost it’s registered information… I’ve now since installed that to the SD card like everything else… I don’t believe that this can be an issue with the Backup Battery as I changed it to a new one when I got the sync port fixed… So is this a natural thing?

Thanx,

MagooChris
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dpdurst:
Does not sound normal but the clock being defaulted sounds like something strange with the battery. Normally that is when the clock resets is when the battery removed or changed out so it could be something with the battery, either normal or backup.

I also noticed that you can't select multiple files in Total Commander CE with this ROM. But, the reason seems to be that dragging the sylus causes windows to scroll, even the stock windows ce file explorer does this with this ROM. So it looks like this "added functionality" of drag-to-scroll is preventing drag-to-select multiple files.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ridolfo:
I hadn't noticed that. Does it start scrolling right away, or only when you get to the bottom of the files list (while still dragging)? Normally, dragging and selecting multiple files will always start scrolling when you reach the bottom of the list.

I would check it myself, but I've since flashed a different ROM.

MAC Address punctuation!!

Was delighted to be given a hx4700 yesterday by a friend who had never used it :confused:

Having recently bought the iPAQ 210 I thought it would serve as a handy fall back in times of need. That is until I discovered this forum earlier today :)

It's now sporting Sanjay's Lite upgrade and I'm now thinking my 210 will be relegated to my fall back and sometimes flight companion - the 4700 is just a better looking device imho.

Only issue arising - and I suspect this was the case pre upgrade - is the WiFi MAC address is separated by hypens. This is of no consequence when logging onto public hotspots but my home WiFi setup using Devolo's Internet Over Mains requires colon formatted MAC addresses. Checked my 210 and this is colon separated.

Firstly is this editable via the Registry and if so what is the path? Secondly and out of general interest why the difference in formatting between two HP devices - does it make a difference?

Thanks in advance.

p.s. Only other quirk noticed apart from above is battery icon on Today screen does not pop up Power setting - because I spent no time using it under 2003 I've no idea again if this is upgrade specific or not.

Turn up the Volume

I have been using the WM6.1_R5 kozhura Edition mod Ramsses v1g_K5R1g Rom and cannot believe the genius of it. Everything works perfect-BUT, when I use a Blueant Speaker with it the volume is very low. The iPAQs volume is turned up all the way and I have tried enableing and disabling the AG control. Since the speaker volume is controlled thru the iPAQs volume control I am having to rely on the handset. Does anyone have any ideas.

Hi Guys,

I've been searching around this forum for quite a few days now. But can't really find what I'm looking for.

So recently I updated my hx4700 with the new Alkor RC (HP iPAQ PPC WM6.1 Rom build 20755.1.4.0 - Alkor release candidate). Everything is running beyond believes, but I'm unable to access my SD flash card. As WM doesn't see it as I open op File Explorer :(

If I go to 'Settings > About' it does say that my expansion slot is 'in use' and when I remove the SD card it goes to 'not in use'.

I've tried flashing the ROM again, but can't get the USB connection up with mtty11a. Windows says it doesn't recognize the device and it needs to be installed...

Anyone familiar to these issue's or suggestion on how to get this hx4700 back on the road?

Thanks in advance!

It would be great if you were able to improve and/or update one of the current roms.

I don’t know anything about developing roms and therefore also do not know which is the best starting point. As said in my previous post I think the alkor roms is the most recent. I also experience this rom as fast and stable.

On the other hand I think there are other roms which have fewer problems. I don not know which is the best starting point for a developer. I have been using the rom made by Kozhura and modified by Ramsses based on Build 19949.1.2.0 (version 1g http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2345295&postcount=305) for quite a while.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TexNY:
After testing all possible solutions, I suggest you don't do anything else to try to fix ActiveSync. The trick of assigning a dummy server, then changing settings to Manual is the only fix needed, and everyone can do it quickly and easily themselves. Old saying: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"!

The current RC is the best build ever once the problems that have been addressed here are fixed:

1) Drop downs

2) Multiple selection of files (now it scrolls)

3) Zipview

4) In my opinion you can remove One Note.

If anyone can add to this list, please do so.

Support for SDHC Cards via CF adapter?

Recently upgraded hx4700 to Sanjay's Lite version.

I know the device cannot natively read SDHC cards via the SD slot but if I install a CF adapter which supports SDHC cards does anybody know whether the SDHC card will be read/written to?

Suspect not but would be great if somebody had found this to be the case.

In the immortal words of George W - “Fool Me Once, Shame on - Shame on You. Fool Me Twice. Fool Me - Won’t Get Fooled Again” :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Wudang:
Or try a CF adapter which handles SDHC cards which I've just been told on the forum should work - adapter on order so fingers crossed - I'm running Sanjay's Lite ROM.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jwy2k2:
There are no hx4700 roms that work with SDHC cards.

SDHC cards will work with a special CF card adapter apparently but it will use more battery power and may be slower.

IMO it's best to get a folding 2GB "SD plus" card so that you can use it with USB to transfer files easily when you don't have a cable or networking available.

btw there are a few hard to find 4GB SD cards floating around (not SDHC) which sometimes leads to confusion. these are not standard as the SD standard was supposed to only go to 2GB.

Screen Calibration

I had an issue with screen calibration -- all of a sudden, in the middle of a game (Bubblebreaker), my taps were off by a few pixels. I thought this would be an easy fix -- simply recalibrate, but I couldn't find out where or how to do it. Running the Self Test proved that the Calibration was off, as the test Failed.

I ultimately had to do a Clean Reset, which let me calibrate the screen, and all is fine now. Of course I had to reload everything, which is always a pain.

I recently replaced the Digitizer (Touch Screen) and [finally!] added a Screen Protector, but didn't have to do a Clean Reset, as a Hard Reset was all that was needed when I put my hx4705 back together. Everything worked just fine for about a week afterwards. Now everything is fine again.

By the way, replacing the Digitizer wasn't that hard to do, as I am very technical, and once I found everthing I had to remove, was fairly easy. I bought it direct from Hong Kong (www.repairhppda.com) -- the same place that still has Varta backup batteries. Good stuff and pretty quick delivery. I'm not advertising for them, just letting everyone know that if you need parts for your PDA, they've got them, and their prices are reasonable.

Does anyone know how to do a recalibration without having to do a Clean Reset?
