I flashed my I-mate Pocket PC with WM2005, but it seems to me that the device works slower with WM5. So I flashed Windows 2003 back, but I-mate Pocket PC doesn't install extended ROM? How can I make I-mate Pocket PC install extended ROM. I heard that the same problem takes place with Big Storage.

i used IMATE PPC too, but so far is really good no problem with speed, what kind of WM2k ROM that you installed ?
I-MATE PPC2
ROM : 2.03a.64WWE
RADIO : 1.18.00
WM5 works slower because Porgram Files can't be saved into chips of RAM. Flash is used as a hard drive in WM5, and you can use RAM chips as a hard drive in Windows 2003 SE. RAM works much faster than flash.

I have an HP iPaq rx3715 (WM2003), which I used to sync with ActiveSync 3.8. Never any problems.
Nowadays I also have a MDA Vario (WM5), which can only be synced with ActiveSync 4.1, so I installed 4.1. Synching the Vario is no problem.
Now... The problem... I can no longer sync my iPaq.
The iPaq needs ActiveSync 3.8, the MDA Vario needs ActiveSync 4.1.
There is no way to have both versions installed on the same PC. I tried.
I even tried to install the different versions on seperate XP accounts. Didn't work either.
In theory I could install 3.8 on PC1, and install 4.1 on PC2.
The problem with that is that the PST-file is located on PC1, and not on PC2. For security-reasons it is not possible to run a copy of the PST on PC2. (Besides... It wouldn't not be a very handy workaround.)
Now... How can I sync the above two devices on the same PC, with the same PST-file?
Anyone???
AS 4.1 includes 3.8 in it.
When you sync 2003, all icons etc become old type - I do it everyday - sync my universal and sync my Benq p50
No issues.
Well.... My rx3715 won't sync on AS4... But AS4 is needed for the MDA Vario... :|
Anyone else any ideas?
Why do the iPAQ need AS 3.8? Alls WM2003 Devices are working with AS 4 too.
Hello Sjaakman!
Unfortunately, i don't know an alternative way to sync a PPC with a PC, but I can tell you that I've successfully synchronized a rx3715 with a PC running XP SP2 and AS 4.1 many times, infect I even managed to sync a Dell with WM 2002 with the same PC no problem.
I suggest you make sure you have the latest version of AS and that the installation is clean. It is possible that while trying to install the previous version you somehow damaged the current installation which is why it wont sync.
Good luck!
I tried and I tried and I tried.... And I could never get it to work...
I just now tried a clean install of AS... And what do you know... It works :shock: :roll:
Thanks.

Not sure how you got it to work.
I was never able to get my iPAQ h6315 to sync with AS 4.1. After struggling with it a while, I noticed that in fact, Microsoft states the following on the AS 4.1 download page:
- ActiveSync 4.1 is the latest sync software release for Windows Mobile 5.0 devices.
- For customers using Windows Mobile 2003 or 2002 powered devices, please continue using ActiveSync 3.8.
For customers using Windows Mobile 2003 or 2002 powered devices please continue using ActiveSync 3.8

I just wanted to add that I believe this statement means you don't need to upgrade unless you have a WM5 device.
If any one is interested I can tell you from experience that I've successfully synchronized devices with OSs WM2002, WM2003 / SE (including iPaq 6315), WM5 and CE 4.2 (not PPC) with a clean install of AS 4.1 and no tweaking done. So far it appears to be completely backward compatible.
Just for the record: I am not trying to defend MS. But if you have a similar problem to the one mentioned in this thread, you should check the AS installation before breaking your head trying to find another solution. The problem could also be on the device side, and may be solved by hard reset (not pleasant but effective).
Does'nt it have a stylus...i want one so I can run BB connect but bbconnect does not exist for smartphones just PPCs.

The 750, like all Treo's is a PDA phone, not a smartphone, even though they call them smartphones.
http://euro.palm.com/uk/en/products/treo750v/specs.html
I understand that...
There are 2 versions of WM5 a smartphone version and a pocket pc version (with touch screen)...They have the treo 750 listed in the smartphone section (here) but I thought it was a PPC version of WM5
That's what I was trying to say. The 750v like all Windows Mobile Treo's use WM5 PPC Phone Edition OS. Yes you are correct that it should not be in the smartphone section.
Gotcha....thanks
Hi
I have installed Activesync 4.5.0 (Build 5096) because it is necessary to keep my HTC S710 in sync.
I have noticed however that I have frequent and repeated program crashes when i try to sync older devices such as my i-mate JAM and HP nw6515 (to my knowledge, both run Windows Mobile 2003 SE).
Did anybody have similar experiences and managed a way around it?
Thank you and best regards
Stefan
I had no problems with my WM6 device + ipaq 4150 (wm2003).
i also have no problems syncing both my xda mini (wm2003se) and my ipaq hx 2495 (WM5) with Acivesync 4.5. both work fine. if it doesn't, i've heard of other people using Activesync 4.2 successfully as well.
He has WM6 on his s710 so 4.5 is mandatory.
What's the oldest/slowest device anyone successfully ran WM6 on? Just wondering.
prolly the wizard...
I have had WM6 and WM6.1 running on a Himalaya

By far, the HP hx4700 (aka HTC Roadster) is the oldest machine running WM 6 ....
WM 2002 ---> WM 2003 ---> WM 2003 SE ---> WM 5 ---> WM 6.0

HTC Typhoon (also was 2003>2003SE>WM5>WM6)
The Motorola MPx200 probably also qualifies:
Smartphone 2002 > 2003 > WM5 > WM6
In fact, from WM5 onward there is insufficient ROM in the device itself so half of the OS has to go onto the memory card. Thankfully it takes full-size SD cards though...

As far as I know, the hx4700 cam with WM2003SE when it was released, not 2002 or 2003FE.

Plz help i want to upgrade my i mate ultimate 8150
to 6.5 mobile windows
tell me about it how should i do it
regards
I think it isn't a magician
Hello there!
I think the 8150 isn't a HTC Magician, because:
-it has 520 Mhz CPU, not 416, as in the Magician
-it has VGA resolution (480*640), not QVGA (240*320) as in the Magician
-it has Built-in numeric phone keyboard, the magician doesn't have this good
-supports microSD, the magician only supports full sized sd cards
-it has TWO camera, not 1 as in the Magician
And last the most important:
it has WIFI. the magician doesn't have wifi. (i wish it have )
Hope it helps
Regards:
Reeedim
EDIT: If you would like Wm 6.5 on your phone, there's a WinMo 6.5 skin for SPB Mobile shell 3.5 somewhere out. Search it on XDA

pls. help me updrade my ultimate 8150 os to wm6.5 if possible.
