HP iPAQ hx2790b

Hi guys and girls!

I'm new at this forum and want to say hello to all you there.

I will be thankful if you can help me.

The problem is this:

I have an HP iPAQ hx2790b Pocket PC, recently purchased for approximately 40$ without docking cradle, usb charger or ac adaptor. So I bought a USB charger/adaptor all in one, all from HP (used) and charged my battery. The pocket PC is runningy perfectly (I have Windows mobile 5.0 on them) and in last few days I decided to flash it to a new OS. So, I found this topic and It really surprised me.

First, I wanted to add a new ROM to pocket PC, from HP website. It asked from me to put an ac adaptor in HP while connected to a computer. The problem is because I have only "all in one" HP usb charger/adaptor and no docking station.

First question: Can I update ROM to a newer version without docking station?

Then, I saw Mr. Spiaatie-s instructions to use Pocket PC in Pre-BL mode. I pushed the buttons Contacts + iTask + Reset (with stylus) and the Pre-Bl doesn't appears on the screen. I tryed to push only reset button and nothing is happening. I hear "tick" (or klick) when I push the reset button so there isn't any strange object in the reset hole.

Second question: Is there any possibility that the reset button isn't working? If is, how I can fix them?

Third question: Can I upgrade OS to the 6.5 without the reset button and docking station? (this question is a little dummy :), but I am new in the world of pocket pc-s).

Thank you very much.

Best regards from Bosnia & Herzegovina.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
Yes, You can! It's even easier to do that. Because USB cable does get power from pc, but cradle does not.

But it's possible that Bootloader is a white screen. Do You get a white screen?

No, You can't! Pre-BL mode is a must :cool:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
First question: Yes. If you have full USB functionality (ActiveSync or equivalent) the answer is yes.

Second question: Reset button seems to be faulty. It should do a soft reset. Nothing happens when you push it? Are you sure you are pushing the rest button and not another one?

Third question: dunno.

Solracna
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Stryker_BiH:
Thank you very much for your fast answers.

I did not get any white screen :(. When I push the reset button, nothing happens. I even didn't know about the reset button (where is it) until i noticed this topic :O.

It seems that I am stuck with windows mobile 5.0.

Best regards.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
If You know how - I would suggest You to take a look at Reset switch and try to repair it - if You can't do it - find someone who can repair it for You.

​
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Stryker_BiH:
Thank you dear member, but unfortunately I don't know repairing micro electronic parts :(, so the pocket PC will remain in this state. The repairers in my city are too lazy to repair such little part (or I must wait a couple of weeks) or they simply don't have the other (new) reset to put instead of this.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Hi,

As an electrical engineer my best guess that the switch is not faulty.

I think that one or more of the switch leads may be unsoldered and that a simple soldering iron might fix it!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] reggaepoo:
I know you told me already to look at my SD card slot on my 2790B, and I applied new solder and it still doesn't work. any ideas of what else I could test on the board? I believe that the unit fell from me one day and the slot stopped working after that. Help!

Reggae Poo
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Hi,

Try this only if you are a qualified technician, otherwise look for one.

Get a magnifying glass, a soldering iron with a small tip and look for broken pcb tracks (due to the fall). Maybe one or more of those tiny smd (surface mounted device) components might need a solder touch-up.

Japanese Input ATOK for WM works!

Hi, Spiaatie.

I tried some way to solve the issue

that ATOK for WM don't work on your v3 rom.

And finally I find good way to solve it.

The official update file of ATOK solves it,

though it is not for iPAQ.

Now, I can input Japanese by ATOK for WM.:D

Thank you, and I hope you keep developing.

TomTom 7.9 works fine here.

You did not edit the cabfile, old issue, has nothing to do with firmware.

Delete from the list ttn6bt2003.dll, BtCoreIf.dll, BtSdkCE30.dll, u foolz :eek:

Or edit the cabfile first.

For your information. I used Rom V.2 on my hx2750.

Do you config the correct comport for GPS on WM6.5 or navigation software? :rolleyes:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ncc74656:
Maybe it is related to the new rom. I was using the recent one v3. I see there is link to v2, will try with that one.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Dropje:
@ncc

This has nothing to do with firmware.

Please check BtCoreIf.dll if it is the correct version. Did you by any means tried to install ttn7.915.9196.qvga_blue.cab or similar? Then the problem is clear.

BtCoreIf.dll has most likely been overwritten and is not the original file, but an old one from winCE2003.

A Hard reset will reinstall the original file.

Also a bit off topic but does anyone know why my iPAQ will only charge on fast USB charge and not slow USB charge or when i plug it into the wall? man i hate the OS on it too :( i need yours spiaatie haha

thanks :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] :
Hi,

Just copy the downloaded *.cab file to any location in your pocket pc. Click on it to execute it and it will install by itself.

You can check the proper installation by looking into the Program Files\PocketXpdf folder

PocketXpdf.exe should be there.

Hello Spiaatie. I have iPAQ' 2790b and hx2190b both with Widdcom BT stack. Your rom SP3 works in both iPAqs. I have tried many different roms and can now load anything eyes closed!

All rom versions before 6.0 gave me problems with calendar and clock alarms (notification queue). Alarms would not always trigger to wake up. I have a BT-carkit and versions below 6.0 would pair but no audio.

All rom versions above 6.0 including yours are now perfect for alarms - always working OK.

All roms (and yours) above 6.0 will pair for the High Quality BT audio service to my BT car kit and output audio. However, all the versions above 6.0 will not connect short sounds, sometimes they are missed, sometimes they appear delayed and together. It can be checked through a BT device by tapping an alarm sound or using the stylus taps. A single tap gives no output, a sequence of taps is ok.

If media player is playing a sound file with the volume set to 0%, short sounds are output to a BT device ok. This issue is not important for music playing as a stream, but very important for satnav because some alert tones are very short and will not be heard on the remote BT audio device. I am not an expert but the problem seems to be in the 'Audio Gateway' service. I've experimented with registry mods, but nothing changes.

I further issue with no solution is I can pair to a BT headset and there is a service in the rom, but no audio passes from the iPAQ to the headset (some digital noise only).

I'm a total newb here, but I'm thinking that these are issues between the Audio gateway and BT stack which are getting duplicated in all the rom builds.

Do you think there is anything different that can be done in a rom build using other audio drivers or a different BT stack that might still work with these ipaqs? The MS BT stack is often regarded as inferior to Widdcom. There are some references to the MS BT stack in the registry. Are there cooked roms built with MS BT stacks and would these work with ipaq hardware?

Any help/ suggestions would be appreciated as I am starting to give up trying to get BT audio devices to work properly with my iPAQs. I have no problems using the same devices on XP.

The same file open issue with Adobe Acrobat reader exists on WM6.1 as well. I got round it by running Acrobat reader first and then opening a PDF file from within the application itself. It is only the opening of PDF files from outside of the application that fails.

Glad to see the post for an alternative pdf reader though :-).

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NinjitsuSB:
Hey Spiaatie, I believe there are few important problems with your third version of WM. If you want, I can tell you, but I think the most important is the WiFi turns off after 2 or 3 minutes of activity. Please if anyone knows something, tell me. At this time, I had to downgrade to WM6.5 2nd Version. Thanks a lot to everyone... :confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] wazzaworld:
I have to say that v3 does seem less reliable than V2 in my opinion too.

I've had a lot more crashes and hangs when syncing through activesync and a very strange power issue where the battery reported 1% remaining but carried on working for over 30 minutes until I reset - when it booted and then powered off again.

Interestingly that issue hasn't reoccurred and seemed to be fixed after removing the CF card and resetting a few times (along with a small recharge).

The device doesn't like going to standby with bluetooth running as it hasn't come back on again without a reset on a number of occasions.

I'm also a bit lost without the clock on the taskbar. You can get this back by enabling the option in the date and time settings but it removes the battery icon. I prefer to have the battery icon there so am doing without for now - but if anyone has some good links to taskbar configurations that won't affect the rest of the device I'd be interested to see them.

The other issue I've seen is that WMP carries on playing audio even when the standby button is pressed! I have seen some posts related to enabling this function but I don't really want it. Any ideas if it can be removed via a registry setting?

On the upside the charging and battery life seems ok on the whole and the new themes are nice.

I've also not had any issue with wireless dropping off or connecting and like the new ipaq wireless too.

On the whole it's very pleasing and with the custom titanium plugins it works really well. I even frigged the CDigiClock app to create a RSS News feed specifically for BBC News (by removing the clock page and mortscript and changing the display nae in registry) - but haven't managed to find a way to schedule the RSS updates yet!

Titanium is greate for messing about with custom today pages :)

I have iGO 8 version 8.3.2.97313 working perfectly here with v3.

So anyone with problems installing either ttn7.915.9196 or iGo and having bluetooth problems:

it is only a software problem, not a firmware issue.

@ncc74656:

please do a Calendar + Messaging + Power + Reset (with stylus)

Release when Formatting PS.. appears on thr screen.

- it will reinstall all system files, also BtCoreIf.dll.

Make a copy of it and reinstall iGo. Check if the original has been replaced.

If so EDIT the original CABfile, for instance with WinCE Cab Manager v3.0.0.22.

Remove the obsolete files from the cabfile, save and repeat the HARD-RESET.

I do not have a problem with either TomTom or iGo regarding bluetooth.

No problems with 8 GB SDHC also, working flawlessly btw.

v.3 not working well

Tried v.3 update for my ipaq hx2790b but the wireless keeps going out (probably because of the memory card problem). The fingerprint reader problem is still around. Right after doing a soft reset, instead of showing the fingerprint placement area, the pda resets about 4 times and then it finally let's u imput the fingerprint. Clicking on the battery icon doesn't take u to the battery info either. I had less problems with v.2 so I'll be going back to it. Thanks for the effort...ur really great!

WM6.5 V2 Issues... Need Help!!

Hi everybody. After some awkward problems and difficulties using WM6.5 V3, by Spiaatie, I had to downgrade to WM6.5. I believe this version of WM is great, but I find two drawbacks I wanna solve as soon as possible. Let's see if someone in this Forum can help me...

1- I wanna increase screen's sensibility. In WM6.5 V3 version, I know it has been increased, but I do not know how to do it manually by registry editing... :confused:

2- When typing, using the OEM keyboard that comes with this version of WM, in some applications (Calendar, for example), after doing a space, an underscore appears "(_)" for a second or two, and I have to wait until it disappears to continue writing. If I do not wait, after typing one or two letters, the cursor goes back to the beginning of the new word I was trying to type. I also realised this issue has been solved in the WM6.5 V3 version, but I wanna know if I can solve it manually in the V2 version. :confused:

If someone can help me, I would completely pleased. Thanks a lot for this great forum, and I know that all together, we can make WM6.5 Spiaatie more espectacular everyday... :D
