Pocket Backup for iPAQ 2200 Patch
http://www.spritesoftware.com/support/pocket_backup_support.html#5j
Sprite Software has released a patch that fixes some incompatibilities with Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC.
"Scheduled backups do not occur at the specified time, but rather occur the next time I turn on my Pocket PC after the scheduled time. Also, my device sometimes switches itself off when I have the battery monitor enabled. Why? This problem is caused by an incompatibility between certain versions of Pocket Backup and iPAQ Backup and the Pocket PC operating system 'Windows Mobile 2003'. We currently only have available a patch for the version of iPAQ Backup that comes in ROM for HP iPAQ devices."
There is a thread here that discusses alarm issues with the Pocket PC 2003 OS too that some have linked to the iPAQ backup software, so this patch may resolve that as well as the iPAQ Backup software may have been interfering with the iPAQ's ability to wake up. Note that this patch is only for the iPAQ Backup in the ROM of the 2215 and not for the full blown Pocket Backup Plus suite nor any other Pocket PCs. Just curious, do the 1940 and 5555 have Sprite's iPAQ Backup in ROM or do they use something else?

I am glad Sprite put this up, but I wonder how many people know Sprite wrote the backup program? I wonder why this isn't at http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/fi.../us/index.html too? There are no 2003 devices even listed there. Hrm....

Sorry to do this, but the update is not just for the 2215. Here is what it states exactly on the Sprite website:
This problem is caused by an incompatibility between certain versions of Pocket Backup and iPAQ Backup and the Pocket PC operating system 'Windows Mobile 2003'. We currently only have available a patch for the version of iPAQ Backup that comes in ROM for HP iPAQ devices.
It is not device specific. So I have installed it on my 5555. I will keep you posted if this fixes any problems for me.
Thanks
Thanos

Ahhh... you are right. However, the front page says "Patch for Scheduling issue now available for HP iPAQ 2200 users." and then links to the above FAQ. So, which is right? :?

Ummm.... From what I have read it seems to effect all 2003 OS owners. So I don't hesitate to put it on my device at all.
Thanks

I tried to install it, but the file it wants to overwrite in the Windows directory is in ROM. :?

Right. And when you soft reset, the OS will see there is a RAM file with the same name as a ROM file. The ROM file will be ignored until you delete or rename the RAM file.

Ah yes, the Pocket PC didn't want to let me paste over it, but exploring from the desktop I could.
Thanks.

Hello guys, Maybe we can call this EUU1. Unbelievable, it works like a charm. Now, alarms, calendar reminders, buyme and stoptime can wake up PDA without any problem. The power problem is gone and backup can startup as schedulared without any hazitation.
The only problem is the backup is still incompatiable with Wisbar advance.
I am really happy PocketPC 2003 can set Alarm now.
