Running Applications
Tap the Running Programs tab, select the application you wish to close, and tap the Stop button (or you can tap the Stop All button to close all running applications). Be sure all applications closed before turning off your IPAQ.
Power Setting
Pocket PC devices that are running Windows Mobile turn on at midnight to search for appointments for the coming day. Reminders are set and the Today view is updated with the day's events, thus on Battery power, turn off device if not used for 1 minute, Backlight on battery power: 30 seconds.
You can adjust whatsoever you want, the rule is turn off device > turn off backlight.
TODAY Plug-ins:
Better you uninstalled all today plug-ins thrid party progs.
Installed programs on SD/CF running in memory sometimes not respond after you turn on from automatic battery turn off.
It takes between 3-5 seconds to get response and/or sometimes program automatically closed by itself.
Solution: installed the programs in DEVICE.
Tips: Remove any unnecessary files in memory storage, so you will have more ROM memory storage.
After I turn on the device(2490b) from automatic battery turn off every time the backlight on battery power change to 10 seconds, no matter which setting I was choose. Until the device power off(auto or manually) the setting works, but after power on the setting change to 10 seconds again. Have anyone else this issue? Any solution?

Uhmm strange, try to do clean reset whether the symptom disappear.

Dear All,
Please pay attention that after making changes, installing new software or doing your usual software settings it is advisable to power off your device before soft-resetting.
Example, I recently setup my Inbox mail accounts and soft resetted my device in a usual way. After a soft reset I found out that none of my accounts was actually kept. So, I did setup again, powered off my device and soft-resetted it. After soft-reset all mail accounts were saved and were workable
To limit CPU Usage
1.Do the Activesync Fake server trick then turn all schedule to manual
To prevent Compaction
1.As much as possible free your program memory and install all programs in the SD of CF (if possible)
2.Move all cache to SD or CF (memmaid or SKtools can do this)
Registry: ActiveSync Manually
The above Activesync fix will also fix the problem many are having with not being able to turn on their WM6 unit.
JUST TO MAKE SURE ACTIVESYNC IS MANUALLY ACTIVATED:
You can also check the following registry entry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ActiveSync\Engines\{176F 4FFD-F20C-4bd4-BDD7-01D0726C567B}\Settings] SyncAfterTimeWhenCradled (x)
Where x is one of the following:
0=Manually synchronize
5=5 minutes. Default value.
15=15 minutes
30=30 minutes
60=60 minutes
120=2 hours
240=4 hours
Here is real fix for A2DP problem on any custom hx2000 firmwares (e.g. 3.50, 3.52, WM6).
Download this cab file: Udillak_A2DP_Fix_for_hx2000_custom_firmwares.cab
Install it, make softreset and relax with working sound and controls of your bluetooth headphones.
Hello,
Since I've installed WM6 on my hx2790b it's great for everything but the PIM...
It's impossible to add a contact, an appointment, etc... It tells me "An unexpected error has occurred in this program." And it's impossible to synchronize the PIM with my PC
Any idea ?
Try to flash rom again, but you must do clean reset before (holding 1+power+3+ and stylus-reset). After successful update, u must do a clean reser again (on screen "formatting ps").
Synchronizing with PC, you must use the latest ActiveSync 4.5.

Calibrating your Battery

Calibrating your Battery
Power issues you may experience with your iPAQ over time:
* Unit fails to Power On
* Unit fails to charge 100% only holding 50% of the charge
Important: If you experience problems with power on your unit the fault may not be with the main battery. Swap testing the battery with a known good working battery may show the same fault. Calibrating your unit by running the 'Battery Calibration' test may resolve 'Power Related Issues'. You must follow the tests below exactly for good results.
1. Charge the unit for 30 minutes (No More, No Less) only powered by AC Adapter and 22-pin connector and not connected to the PC/Cradle (make sure the unit is switched/powered off).
2. Remove the power and full 'Hardware Reset' and then 'Soft Reset'.
3. Charge the unit again for 4 hours connected to ac power only. By following the procedure exactly as outlined in the steps above this will enable full calibration of the battery with the unit (make sure the unit remains switched/powered off during this charge period).
Note: After a software reset the power Leds (Light Emitting Diodes) should now be on and the battery should be showing 100%. If the unit still fails on power do the following checks:
*Test the AC Adapter at another location/power source.
*Swap test The AC Adapter if possible.
THIS WILL HELP BATTERY DRAINED ISSUE of WM6.0 in some HX2000 series; USING SKTOOL or MEMMAID:
1. KILL BioDtect in Windows Startup
2. Set Credant Manager in StartupService as MANUAL and STOP.
3. Set Standby into 24 Hr in Power Setting
4. Soft reset
5. DO NOT EVER EVER RECHARGE YOUR IPAQ USING USB in the CRADLE!!! RECHARGE YOUR IPAQ USING CABLE POWER SUPPLY ADAPTOR!!!
Bricked My Ipaq! hx2795... HELP!!
Hi,
I just got an Ipaq hx2795 and I upgraded to WM6, and it worked perfectly!. However, I saw a supposedly upgraded version of WM6 and i tried to install it, and too hastily I think. I did it without first removing my SD and CF cards. the upgrade said it went through ok on the PC, but it froze on the PPC, about halfway. ever since then, I've only been able to bring up the pda in pre-BL mode. Whenever I attempt to re-load any ROM (WM5 or WM6), I get the error message that the language of my current ROM is unknown and hence, the upgrade cannot go through. To further complicate my problem, I was trying to recover it about 3 nights ago and accidentally left the pda on all night in pre-BL mode. Now I think the battery is dead and I do not know how to charge it. Is there any resource or anyone that can help me with this problem? Is there a way to load the rom and Ignore the language setting on the Ipaq? What should I do now? HELP!!
Please let me know ASAP and Thanks!!

Thanks for the assistance, however the flash keeps on saying that my pda's language is "unknown" and hence stops the upgrade as a result. What do i do about this?

WM6 hx2795 and WiFi
Hello everyone,
I just came across this forum today, and was very happy to. I flashed my rom from wm5 to wm6 and definitely like wm6 more.
Now for my bug. I'm using an hx2795. Wi-Fi worked in wm5, now after I flashed the WiFi manager will connect to a AP then says 'Driver not loaded.' and disconnect. I saw Anavas' post in the "i will pay..." thread and said that wifi was working on his. So, I'm guessing it's possible to have wifi on this model. I'm hoping he/she or someone else can help me out? It's just strange that it seems to start working (can shortly do SiteSurvey as well sometimes)...
As can be guessed the driver update from HP doesn't work (incorrect revision error).
Resetting makes it works for a short time, but then I get the 'Driver not loaded' thing.
/* EDIT
* This only appears to happen when in the cradle. I took it out and it didn't give me anymore problems...weird, maybe something to do with connecting through usb vs wi-fi conflict?
*/
Thanks a bunch.
CE OS 5.2.1437 (Build 17944.0.3.1)
hi,
I checked with my hx2795 and I don't have any problem connecting WiFi so far,
I can able to connect it from my home and the office.
I even checked with the cradle, I have no problem,
Have you done a hard reset once you flashed the ROM, or did you install any other driver / software ?
I used my ppc at school all day today, and plugged it in cradle just now. I can't repeat the error, so I have no idea how, but it's working just fine. So....solution was to do nothing and let it go away, haha.

Great Job. Thanks From Portugal.
I've been trying to find the right information but struggling. I am having my Desire exchanged for a new one as mine has a minor fault. T-mobile have been great in getting this exchanged.
My issue is that I want to be able to store all my information somewhere first and I think I know how to do that on to the SD card.
My more important issue is to be able to delete all the information from the phone after my backup so things like my facebook details, gmail and everything else is deleted. Will a HARD reset do this and how do I do that? Is there a different way to perform a full reset to ensure everything is gone?
|Thanks...
Factory restore/hard reset, and then you'll need to format the SD card (or remove everything on it)
Turning automatic backup on:
1. From the Home screen, press MENU, and then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Back up my data & settings.
3. Select or clear the Back up my data & settings check box to turn automatic backup on or off.
After you do a factory reset, your phone will restart and let you restore the saved data and settings in your storage card back to your phone.
Your phone backs up the following types of data and settings whenever there are new additions or changes:
* Text and multimedia messages
* Settings in the Messages application
* Web bookmarks
* Keyboard dictionary
* Settings in your phone that fall under these categories:
o Wireless & networks
o Sound & display
o Location
o Applications
o Date & time
o Language & keyboard - only the Locale setting
Performing a factory reset (hard reset):
This returns your phone to the state it was in before the first time you turned it on (factory settings).
Note: Factory reset will not remove the data and files that are in your phone’s microSD card.
This will permanently delete all your data and customized settings, and will also remove any applications you've downloaded and installed. Be sure to back up any data and files you want to keep before you do a factory reset.
Performing a factory reset via settings:
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
1. From the Home screen, press MENU and then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen and then tap Privacy > Factory data reset.
3. On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase everything.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons:
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button..
3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
4. Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset.

Out of interest and as there have been few negatives about this phone, what was the fault you are exchanging for?
Thanks

I rang them up to say the battery life was absolutely dreadful. They said give it a few days to see if building up the charge for a few days combined with the "new phone and let's play with all the new features" syndrome settled the battery life. It hasn't and they suggested either sending a second battery or exchanging the phone. I went for the exchange....
Apart from that, the phone has been absolutely brilliant. Really pleased with almost everything. My only two hmmm's have been that skype don't do their own app for Android and that the F1 app for the iphone isn't available on android (despite its $29 cost!!!)
Thanks. I'll be real interested to learn if the exchange phone improves your bettery life - be sure to let us know!
I bought a HTC desire from Virgin mobile uk which uses t-mobiles network. I had problems with the browser force closing where it started and then quit. I spoke to HTC and then was advised to perform a hard reset using recovery mode. I put the phone in recovery and then immediately got a phone picture with the exclamation mark... i had to remove the battery and tried it again. same problem.
I have found that the second phone i had did exactly the same when i tried to put it in recovery mode..ouch
I'm going to do the backup first so I hope I'll have the info saved..... that's a weird problem you have.
I will let you know how I get on with the replacement but it will have to be when I get back from OZ......
I was hoping to find a pay as you go sim card to put in but my phone is locked to tMobile and also it seems in Australia their data plans are just not there yet...
Hi,
I've got a strange problem: i've tried to install severla Sense ROMs (sensevolution, revolution 4.0, now RunnymedeMod007) and each time phone crashes. It's going perfectly fine until i type PIN code. Than in some cases ROM works, until i press off button. While i want to wake phone again, there's nothing on the screen, except wallpaper. No upper bar, no menu bar. And the fone freezes - every time i have to take the battery off. what might it be? I've changed the radio, but nothing changed.

Depending on what recovery you use, the options might change. But:
Mounts & Storage
> format boot
> format system
> format data
> format cache
Advanced
> Wipe dalvic cache
Flash ROM again.
Worked perfectly, thanks a lot!
To start off,
i would like to say im not some kind of paranoid freak who thinks the gov or ordinary people around me is spying on me.. lol
Im fairly new to this android world, and got this phone, less than a month ago. from a ... doubtful friend.
The phone always booted twice on startup, and it installed apps with out telling me like "Muted camera".,,which i caught probally by rebooting the
phone right after reset. and a error popping up, that the install file was invalid.
I rooted it (I think.. I rooted it.. or could be PRE rooted. Never checked) ,
checked system but couldn't find out anything useful..
i deleted all the dalek? cache and factory reset, formatted external sd in cwm
but still.. freaked out when i found out that my personal files.. such as photos videos were still present (was on the internal memory)
the external, was formatted..
so i got the lg firmware update on pc
put the kdz file,
settings were:
3g QCT & mode was CS emergency
ran it in Download mode.
Still.. this seemed to only reset the system settings..
the phone itself wasn't wiped..
However, after i reset it with kdz file
The security? error of some sort popping up between the two reboot, was gone. however the two reboot was still present,.
Before;
Turn on phone => security error, (in terminal typed ..interface with black background) => phone shutdown => boot again automatically => LG logo => turn on
After the kdz file recovery:
Turn on phone => Lg logo => phone off => on again automatically with lg logo => lg boot animation and normal booting
Now, my ram and battery usage is still abnormal.
resetted the phone in software os level, (in settings)
Nothing.. seems to help
any.. suggestions?;;
