Greetings!
I just recently upgraded to a hx2495 (from h2215) and am enjoying it except for a few quirky things that are coming out. The questions I have can't be categorized under one title except they are occurring on my new hx2495.
1. How do I perform a backup? The h2215 has a program on it called IPAQ Backup. I can't find anything like that on the 2495, not even on the CD of programs that was enclosed. Along that same note, how do I perform a Restore? Using the IPAQ Backup program on the 2215, I backed up the PIM databases and wanted to load them into the 2495.
2. My calendar button (Button 1) cannot find the Calendar program and contact button (Button 2) cannot find the Contacts program to open them. Specifically, an Error window pops up saying that they cannot be found. That started happening after I held the Button 1 to rotate the screen (which it is assigned to do). I have already tried going into the Buttons assignment screen and re-selecting Button 1 to Calendar and Button 2 to Contacts (even though they were already assigned them) but to no avail.
UPDATE: Just in case anyone else has this problem also, I found a possible solution! I just reassigned those buttons to different programs, pushed the buttons and they opened those respective programs. I then went back and reassigned those to their original ones (Calendar and Contacts) and they work now!
3. How do I keep ActiveSync from starting on its own when I'm not syncing to anything? I can click on the iTask button (Button 4), select to Close All Tasks, and all programs except ActiveSync will close. I select iTask again, select Close All Tasks, and ActiveSync finally closes and I get directed back to the Today screen. But then I can go to the View all Running Programs, and it is still running! One more note - both WiFi and Bluetooth are turned off.
4. The h2215 had a list of the last few opened programs listed as small icons on the first line when I select the Start icon. How do I get that on the 2495? Right now, it is listing them as part of the drop-down menu.
So as to not leave you with the impression that I'm not happy with my new toy, after an initial hiccup with connecting via Bluetooth, I am able to connect and use the functions of ActiveSync wirelessly! Woohoo!
