There may be an answer to that question already, but I can't find it in the jungle of the forums.

How do I patch a WM 2003 device (Hx2110 Ger) to accept the english rom? I tried many times, even looked up for german versions to come to WM 5, but the only version I got is for 2x9x already running WM5 not 2xxx devices. The System checks language even though it shouldn't do so.

Please help

Hi,

thanks for this release, I'm currently using it and looks great!

Btw, any chance to update xtask?

I downloaded 2.3b4 version and I placed in "Program Files", then changed registry keys to point to the new one, but that does not seems to work.

Any one tried it?

thanks!

Wi fi Issues

Hi, before doing the following updates which I like the look off

Can you advise does this fix wifi issues with the hx2410

I have a 3 myfi (unlocked) and want to connect to it but wifi I think does not like it as think this is a time technology issue

when made there protocols were not in place that the myfi uses and hence I think thats why it wont connect

If I am very wrong can you clarify - also am I likely to run into any other issues

Does the cf card still work as use this for additional storage 8gb getting a 16 to try it

thanks for your assistance

Touch Input cab file

Hello,

I love the latest WM 6.5 rom and would make it my standard except for the fact that I am not able to install and use Calligrapher 8.7 on it. So, alas, I will have to stay with WM 6.1.

I am currently using FingerKeyboard but much prefer the Touch Input keyboard on your latest WM 6.5 rom. Is there some place where I could download Touch Input for Pocket PC to use on your WM 6.1 rom? I have tried several internet searches but without any luck.

Many, many thanks for all of your work and support for those of us addicted to our hx2000 machines!! :)

hello spiaatie and thanks becasue of you I was able to breath new life in to my hx2795b.:D but now I wonder how I go about custumizing the home screen, it's like I've taken the house and fliped it upside down:confused:. oh well on the other hand it looks like I've added another fives years to it. I'm still testing it so I'll let you know how it goes. by the way in future version, would there be anyway to get support for sdxc cards. if the ablitie to read sd cards is software based, then it maybe possible to upgrade to read sdxc?

Complete Noob question

Hi

I've recently rediscovered my ipaq hx2490b and need to update to mobile 6.5 to get it working on my network. I have downloaded the files that spiaatie has created but to be honest I'm a bit lost. Do I need a program to flash the ipaq with or do I just drag the nbf file onto the ipaq after having set up pre bl mode. An idiots guide would be really useful please.

I'm using Windows 7

thanks

Update

I installed the updated device driver, which then asked for a restart of the computer. After doing that the driver is showing an error, I've tried reinstalling it but keep getting a message saying it didn't install properly. I also can no longer get the IPAQ to sync with the PC in pre bl mode, when I press the calendar button nothing happens.

Been failing to manage to update for 2 hours now.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] guitar1006:
Some programs fail

I just upgraded my HX2410 to WM6.5. As the first time I connect my iPaq to the computer, I notice that the calendar and tasks does not update like it does with WM5. I tried to change my device name and succeeded with the connecting the 2.

However, all the time for all my appointments were lost and all the appointments were shifted one day forward. :mad:

The excel and powerpoint doesn't work either, though I did install it later. :confused:

Still, thank you Spiaatie. :D It's awesome that you put in so much great work! But I need to restore WM5 now since I need my calendar and tasks. And WM6.5 is draining my battery quicker than lightning. :eek:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
Did you made proper hard-reset?

:)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] guitar1006:
Yes I did. Followed your instructions very carefully. I will try to upgrade again some time soon. Two questions in mind: can you sync wm5's calendar and task with wm6.5's? and does your existing wm5 calendar and tasks work after the upgrade?

By the way, I promised that I will donate as soon as I get a job and earn some money, well I just passed my interview :D.

Currently I´m running official WM 5 on my Ipaq HX2490b.

Due to Bluetooth Broadcom driver integrated in WM5 I´m not able to connect to 2 devices (GPS BT mouse QStarz 818 and BT Heart Rate from Zephyr HXM). In WM 5 I cannot assign a Com Port to the 2nd device (no Com port tab in WM5).

Can I use 2 or more BT devices at the same time with this 6.5 release ?

Will this release use Broadcom drivers for BT or Windows drivers ?

Thanks for helping me !!

Just go to the first page's comments and find the .txt file attached to one of the comments then copy and paste one of the download links it will take a while to download so patience then when u open the downloaded file after unzipping it. Open it and right click the whole empty part one in the file and use the password provided in the .txt file to unlock it then read tutorial and use drivers if on vista or win7

Or just open the update file and go using tut. As guide

Does The v8 Classic Version take less system ram than the touch version?

I've been using the touch version for about a week now, but half my ram is being used up, and i want to squeeze as much out of it as i can.

I'm using an HX2495.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
I don't know if it's possible to use 2 devices at same time, but WM6.5 uses the same Broadcom drivers.

huh.. what?

RAM usage is the same on both (Classic & Touch) ROMs.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] putsche:
Thanks Spiaatie for your answer.

Just 2 minutes before your answer I started the update which worked fine.

But still the same issue. Due to Broadcom / HP drivers I just can connect to one device. The Microsoft drivers would be able to assign a COM port but Broadcom does not deliver this feature.

Any idea to implement MS drivers for Bluetooth ? The HP 514 or 614 mobile phones use the MS drivers which works fine with several BT devices.

Hi,

I come from w2003se and upgraded to 6.5 a few months ago (thanks again!)

Anyway, there are a few things I really miss from w2003se.

1 - If I change the battery it restart and date & time are back to defaults, having to change it. (With w2003se it didn't happened and if you wanted to be sure just "disconnect" the battery using the buttons-sequence).

2 - When battery is around 50 % (I own 2 hx2750 and both happen the same) if I use p.e. TOMTOM it keeps turning off and there is no way I can use it unless I recharged it! (With w2003se I could run it even with 5% battery besides the popup advice of battery low)

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks.
