Dell X51V here.... still get the white screen of death after the new ROM update. But The new ROM cut down how often it happens by about 50% which makes the PDA a lot more enjoyable to use now. The battery drain issue is solved now so that is nice too.

The battery drain issue still there in A04. I had it like 3 times right after the upgrade. It desappeared once I deactivated the battery metter in the today screen from SPB PocketPlus.

I keep the SD card popped out of my Dell Axim X51v to prevent problems. Yesterday I forgot and left it in over night - big mistake - I had to do a hard reset instead of soft reset. I'm running the latest WM5.0 update.

I keep my SD all time in and so far I have not had do a hard reset to get it back to work from any of these issues.

This is a very common problem on teh hp rx1955. There is a HUGE THREAD at the official hp support forums dealing with this. HP says they will release an update "anytime now" for the device.

The is NOT a problem w/ teh HP hx2495, and i'd assume the same goes for the hx2795.

So on HP's line of WM5, only the rx1955 is affected.

However, both devices have the WiFi stays on/battery drain issue.

UPDATE:
http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/f...hreadId=967404

that's the thread i was talking about.

When I contacted HP Support, they gave me the number to their Engineering team and I've been in talks with Jon HasACrazyLastName (lol).

Anyway, the SD Card problem DOES NOT EXIST IF YOU DO NOT CREATE AN ACTIVE SYNC PARTNERSHIP! I tested this for him by hard resetting and not sync/connecting to the computer, and I no longer experienced the issue. I have not simply tried deleting the partner ship, so i don't knwo if that'll work.

The only issue the hx2000 line of WM5 devices is the battery drain problem. There is no can't turn on device problem and there is no "disappearing" sd/cf problem, just the battery drain issue that I think is apperant in all WM5 devices. But who knows.

No problems here on HTC Blue Angel, not under WM2003SE and not under various (the joy of having xda-developers.com...) WM5 versions. (okay, to be fair, I had it, like 3 times in 6 months, don't remember the OS)

This is amusing to me because I've been working with a 6700 for a few weeks now. Mine LOVES to be switched on. I can't stop it from turning on--literally. It switches on all by itself, sitting there on the table, sometimes three or four times an hour. And judging from my Google searches, I'm the only person on Earth who wants the thing to STOP turning on.

No, you're not. That's another issue, but it's a Sprint issue. We think it has to do with the tower pinging the device. There are a couple of threads about that too over at pdaphonehome, but we digress.

I have this issue from time to time on my K-JAM. I do have PP installed and use the battery meter but I do not experience the battery drain. Until recently I was using SBSH's iLauncher with it's battery bar but decided to ditch it because it didn't support d-pad navi.

I do keep my SD card in permanently as most of my apps are installed on it. I can't believe that it would be the storage card since the "non-turn on" issue happens very intermittantly.

Very interesting, I'm one of those people on the other side of the "pretty well known" tracks. I have to try that out so I can get an idea of how much juice in the battery is left with and without the cards installed.

I noticed the fact that a couple of times I had to reset my x50v to turn it on but I just thought that it was just one of those things that 'happen' every once in a while. This is one of those things that make a person wish that they didn't flash the ROM with WM5. I don't regret (yet) the upgrade but I think that I was happier and had fewer anomilies with the previous OS. I guess that's part of what comes with the bleeding edge that so many of us get a high out of :hippy:
