iPAQ 1.20 ROM for non-bluetooth 3800s available, I think
This is the link for the ROM 1.20 readme file, and this is the ROM upgrade program. Appears to be US English only for now. The iPAQ regular download page hasn't been updated yet, but if this is the finished ROM, the page should be fixed soon. Follow the directions and copy your important files over. It involves a hard reset and you cannot restore a ROM 1.15 backup to a 1.20 machine.
Side note: If you have installed EUU2, you will need to do so again. ROM 1.20 comes with EUU1 and completely wipes out your iPAQ's ROM, including EUU2 and the contents of the iPAQ File Store.

I guess I am lucky that I'm soon to be in the market for a new PPC as it appears that I will never see a ClearType fix for my aging, PPC2k2 upgraded 3630... :-( A dear friend who will now go to serve my wife. (Hmm, bearing in mind my stories of "the seperation" it may be considered that I am going to be handing my Mistress off to my wife...)

iPaq Fixes
I called HP/Compaq tech support today to address some of the issues with my iPaq 3765, IE. Dust in screen, very, very poor battery life, and device lock up. They are issuing a return package and are going to repair my beloved iPaq. Keep in mind my device is about 8 months old. (I got it as soon as the 3700 was released.) I have no carepaq service, I know nothing about the waranty expiration or specifics, and they are going to fix everything. I may even call tomorrow and see if they will replace three of the buttons that are completely missing their icons.
ANyway they gave me no trouble whatsoever. Now there is a 3800 ROM update. Seems to mw like Compaq had a change of heart resently.  :twisted:

Ed, this is great - thanks. Perfect timing, as I'm contemplating rebuilding my 3850.
However, you say "I think". Where did this update come from, if not the Compaq page? Is it safe to install?

Any speculations when a German version will be available :?: (Or can I just use the English version with my German iPAQ?)

Localized versions usually lag a few days behind the English one.
Generally you can't install different language ROMs. However, it was possible to manipulate the installer to get around the language check with the older H3600 series flasher.

Fails in my 3835, miserably. Can anyone explain this error?
I really need this to go in, as the spontaneous hard resets are getting ridiculous.

well i will do the update at home in half an hour and contribute my impressions.
Well i could do the update here at work but its not a wise thing doing the update on an old pentium 200 pc that has already connectivity problems with activesync.
I will perform the update back home which i never had connectivity problems with activesync.
Hmmm why is my Rom 1.14 and not 1.15 anyway???
I guess its coz i bought it from the first batch that was released and the 1.15 is a later a bit updated version. correct??
