date and time always beeing reset ...

Hi all

Don't know if it has something to deal with Spaatie 6.5 Rom (which works fine...) but i'm suffering one minor but annnoying problem...

Each time I shutdown the hx4700 running Winmo 6.5, time and date are beeing reset to 3/1/2005 so, every time I use the PDA, I have to re-adjust both time and date.

Both batteries are 100% full ( recently changed the small V6-HR inside the PDA )

and I don't see why such a behaviour

Any idea where I could search for ?

thks all and rgds

I have only 64 MB and use the ramdisk tool from link 2. The speed advantage is not only for 128MB. You have much faster use of the web browser and it is much faster then using sd Card for temp files. Use the system tweaks in memmaid 2.3 to optimize ram or speed. So you can increase your Ram for about 3,5 MB or even more. I Switch in memmaid system tweaks for more ram when I don´t use web browser and switch back for more internet cache when using IE browser. Try it .... works great. :)

any well working tools for resize the resolution?

you know, i have the pda in my hand and i think "how can i use it?", the thing is, i cant just leave "him" on the side, its my favourite (even old, ehhehe).. i have an itouch and a n97 mini..

and, the gps works by itself? or needs an external one attached (somehow)?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spud42:
you will need a GPS reciever of some type. i use a BT mouse style GPS pair it up once and away you go. i just turn it on then turn on the ipaq. i have used destinator,tomtom 6 and i am currently using Garmin Mobile XT. works fine for me with current maps...

as for resolution "ozvga " should work. i used to use it on 2003se and have tried it with WM6.1 but im getting older and the tiny print is too much for me now. but it did work fine.

Aaargh...Serious H/W problem...

HI

As you all know,you have to lock the battery in order to power the device...

Unfortunantely, the little ( more than little...lilliputian) lever inside the micro switch ( bottom right of the opened Hx) is broken ....

I have lifted the micro-switch case to discover kind of a half-moon contactor rotating around a micro central axis and moved by the lever...This piece seems to short or establish some contacts on the pc board.

I have found 4 contacts, one of them beeing the ground !!!

Absoute no idea what shorts what when the level is in the lock position..

It'all micro surgery that stuff...but i'd hate to brick the Hx for a stupid 1mm long piece of plastic...

if someone has idea, i'll be really greatfull

@janko00...Thks for yr inputs...but now i'm in a deep sh...:mad:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lmemperador:
try to fill the holes with something, i also have a extra batery with case, dead battery becouse of a problem in camerun sino bateris and this device...and it is plastic made, as well, i think you could fill the holes

by the way, any of you know how i can ...bring life to the extendeed battery, it did not charge, the pda locked the battery i think. maybe someone knows what i am talking about. the battery works until the pda locked it

Solder the switch back on then connect the two connectors in the back (a line of solder will do) then you will be back in business.

Congratulations for this ROM, I honestly did not expect to upgrade my 4700 to WM6.5 with such efficiency and performance. If you allow me a question, I am CIO of a company and use my PDA to connect some terminals via Mobile Remote Desktop (Terminal Server), but this ROM does not have this application. so I did download a CAB and Do not Work too. Is it possible to resolve this issue?!

HI

I don't understand your point...

You are talking about soldering 2 connexions...Which ones ?

after having removed completely the case of the switch, I see 4 soldering points ( I call them A,B,C,D starting top left and turning clockwise...)

Out of those 4 points,wich one do you have to solder together?

I'm prety sure ait is a simple thing to do but I would prefer not to make mistakes

Thks for yr answer
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] spud42:
he suggested that you PUT THE SWITCH BACK. then bridge the two connections on the back of the switch. so with a meter you can work out which of the 4 solder points those contacts are....

Yes

Works Perfect. Thanks !!!!

Need help updating hx4700

Hi guys,

I am new to updating the ROM on the hx4700 and need some help to do it.

I am following the instructions but the update isn't happening.

I have pressed the suggested button combination, noticed the screen go dark on reboot, placed the hx4700 in the cradle, started the update tool, noticed a comms screen popup for about 5 secs then disappear, noticed a popup come up on the PDA again for about 5 secs then disaappear but the update dialog stays at 0%.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cegevara86:
Press the POWER + iTASK + CONTACTS buttons at the same time and hold all of them. Then shortly press the Reset button on the bottom and release all of them. The screen with HP logo in the middle will appear having the bootloader version at the bottom and the text “Serial” on the top. If you will connect the device to USB, the text “Serial” will change to “USB”.Then run update tool but seem's to be that you must do it from windows xp

Searching G750 foldable keyboard driver.

The ROM of Spiaatie is working incredibly good on my HX4700 :D . I had to hard-reset the machine after a few weeks of use, but I think the problem was some unstabilities due to excess of programs installed or so.

But now I do have another problem: I have tested my G750 HP Compaq Foldable Keyboard (lost in a box since long time), but it seems not to be working. I thought Windows Mobile 6.5 would detect it automatically, because I have no drivers and I could not found them on internet.

You can test the IRDA with soft as VITO OSCILOSCOPE or other that simulate IR remote , first chek in connections ,beem , receive all incoming data , Ie launch Vito , beam some order from a standard remote in line with the IR pda window , you will see the oscilogram in the screen , your data was received an stored , then you can play this order from pda to any receptor , if the stored order was TV ON you can turn yours Tv from pda . A lot of other soft more complex works fine too for this pourpose .IRDA works for this , I dont try another probe .

hx4700 2 or more batteries ?

Hi all

May be a stupd question...how many batteries are there in a Hx4700 ?

I've found 2 so far...the big one (main battery )inserted in the back of the PDA and a small one (backup battery )(V6-HR) accessible when you open the case...

Those 2 batteries are fully charged. i'm not getting any warnings for a potential defect...but, each time I switch the PDA off, for one night or so, all my date and time settings are gone...

Usually, these settings are maintained by a battery...hence my question !!!

Is there such a battery on the other side of the PDA PC-board ?

if so, How do you access it ?

I have tried removing the top of the case...there is something fairly rigid which prevents me for doing that and I don't want to force too much in order not to break things...

Thks for any tips
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] star_ts2000:
Hi lhasistos,

Thanks for your cooperation.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bamrung:
There are only 2.

It seems that your V6-HR has a problem. Sometime, for a very old unit like mine, the small battery holder became slacken. We just got to take the battery of and bend the metal holder inward a bit to make the contact connect to the battery firm & secure. Otherwise, you may have to change the battery.

Hope this help.
