I feel your pain Ed, with the text on the start menu problem. I also think that FAR too much work goes into re-setting up a PPC vs. a regualr desktop. With a desktop, I can be back up and running in an hour... a PPC takes a few days to get all the setup done as you forget to do things that you don't use often.

(And for some reason, every time I setup the speed dials on my i-mate, I am forced for some reason to do a hard-reset within 24 hours... quirky I know, but its like clockwork)

Now that I upgraded to the ROM 1.1 all of my Inbox attachments go to the iPAQ storage file instead of my SD card. So its RAM or iPAQ Store and not allowing SD Card. Has anyone else had this problem and if so does anyone have a work around this? :devilboy:

Sounds like a pretty incompetent bluetooth implementation. Buy a Palm :silly:

There is one thing to know while configuring BT:
The BT manager does not accept all changes when any utility is running that changes the behavior of the close/minimize/ok button.
That mean, if you have installed Pocket Plus (wisbar etc.) before you set up BT, you have to disable the "close funktion on minimize" before doing the BT setup.

This may cause a lot trouble because people are sure they set up everything correct, but the BT manager just did not accept the settings.

Well, I set my BT between my h2210 and my T68i and everything went smoothly...

Oh lucky me...

Even the GPRS connection I made works without a hitch...



I think it has something to do with Nokia... hehehe

I own UX50 right now and while goiong throught all the forums I'm really less and less willing buying motorola MPx. on my UX50 there were no problems with bluetooth (and I have nokia :-) or wifi. there was no need to reset the device after backup, which I do daily, to the flash memory and to the memory stick :-) well I'm a bit of paranoid :-) plus I beta test some software... and I guess it would be nightmare to live with PPC for me. :devilboy:

gosh and MPx look so perfect for me .. gsm/gprs/bluetooth/wifi/1,3mpix camera with flash AND thumboard! :drool:

Yeah, I had problems with making a partnership also. I finally got it to work after significant playing around. I think it all started with a dialog box that asked whether I wanted to delete a partnership and I answered "No" because I thought it might delete the contents of my Pocket_PC_Documents folder. Okay, yes, maybe I should RTFM, but why should I for such a relatively simple task?

If my wife had a PocketPC, she would 1) never have upgraded because she wouldn't have understood the problems, and 2)had she upgraded, she would have sent the PPC back to the factory because she couldn't be bothered to make it work.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: It's things like this that keep smartphones and PDAs from becoming indispensible items.

Humm! Confusious say, if task simple why you have problem :wink:

Actually that is the thing about wives, they do go by the sayings "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"! Us teckno-gottahaveit-gods have a different motto: If it ain't broke, time to upgrade or fiddle with something that will make it not work.

Take care and good luck ol' Technogod!
