Hello all, I was recently given an older Dell Axim X3 and I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to upgrade it to Windows Mobile 6 (or even 5). I can never leave things well enough alone so I figured it would be a neat trick to get it running on there, it looks like it should handle it spec-wise. Looking under the battery the unit says Rev A03, it does have wifi built in. Going to system info I get:
Model: Dell Axim X3
Processor Type: Intel XScale
Processor Speed: 400MHz
RAM Size: 64MB
ROM Size: 64MB
ROM Version: A00(09100300EN)
Language: English
Wireless Attend...: WirelessLAN
(left the UUID out, if this is necessary information let me know and I will post that too)
About shows: (Leaving out the non-interesting info)
Microsoft Pocket PC
Version 4.20.1081 (Build 13100)
I saw on Dell's website they have a software upgrade to A01 for it but that's still just the 2003 OS. Is it feasible to get WM6 or 5 running on this?
Hi everyone!
I was wondering if there by any chance is possible to run windows mobile as an os on a notebook(for example my asus eee 900)?
The only 'netbook' that will run windows mobile is redfly, and at that it needs to be plugged into the phone to make it work still.
Also on the front of it on a regular netbook i somehow doubt it as the processor architecture is x86 in the asus whereas all of the wimo phones run on arm processors which have very different (and better, in some ways) architecture.
Also the resolution of the asus would not be supported as the biggest wimo supports is 800x480 and i somehow beleive that your asus is greater than this.
So at the end of the day in a long way, no you cant, to my knowledge
WinCE 6.0 is running fine on PC, but it need to be compiled for x86 first
There are some netbooks out there based on windows ce as far as I know. But getting it to run on a normal pc would at least require a lot of tweaking.
On that note, I've been using a redfly since last fall and absolutely love it (even though quite a few people find it an unnecessary thing). The thing is, it's in fact just like a bluetooth keyboard bundled with a bigger screen and usb host functionality. So it still uses the phones processor - and the processor architecture would be the real problem...
Concerning resolutions: It seems that Windows ce does indeed support resolutions at least up to 1024x768.
Does anyone know which Linux Distro works well with HP laptops (Pavilion G6 in my case)? I tried a few distro's but my laptop heats way too much like 75-80 degrees (the fan keeps running) and it feels like its going to explode. Tried different tweaks still the problem persists.
After browsing a bit I learnt that Ubuntu had some problem with switchable graphic Laptops like mine. It was just not me but others also faced the same heating issue with HP laptops. Any linux pro here?

BUMP.
BUMP. Need some enlightenment pls.
Well then, I probably totally killed my Windows Pro RT 8.0..
Here's the issue; I've had it for a day and after installing updates and attempting to update it to 8.1, I hit reboot and.. that was the last time it ever worked.
Now it is in an endless auto repair loop.
When you boot it up, it shows the surface logo, followed by ''starting up auto repair''..
After showing that for awhile, it goes into the same surface logo screen, followed by ''diagnosing your pc''
.. and after some time, it just does Exactly the same again! No menus or options are showing, even after hours!
And here's the kicker; I've tried six recovery usb images so far. None of them worked! I have a 8 gb 3.0 usb flash drive, both .iso images and put the files directly onto the usb. Both didn't work. (Yes I've applied them both in a good way )
Booting it up while holding the volume down - button does nothing.
I'm a student from the Netherlands, any support is GREATLY appreciated!!
What I didn't try yet; I don't have a surface touch pad (with keyboard eh). If I could get into the system using that, I'd like to purchase it.. but otherwise, not.
If you've only had it for a day, I would exchange it with the vendor. If you can't (or don't want to ship it back) contact Microsoft Support. I'm sure there are other diagnostic things to try. But maybe someone here will know those things. I haven't had any issues with my RT that a restore hasn't fixed.

Thanks for the reply
Unfortunately, the store which I bought it from won't take it back. They can give me a 30% refund At Best since they can't re-sell it anymore, because I already opened and started up the product (this also classifies under ''customer mistakes'').
Hopefully someone knows! Currently looking for stores who can fix surfaces, but it's still relatively unknown here it seems.
Um... just checking, is it a Pro or an RT? There is no such thing as a "Windows Pro RT 8.0". That wouldn't even describe any kind of device!
Windows is an operating system family.
Windows RT is an operating system product line that runs on ARM tablets.
Windows RT 8.0 is the release of the Windows RT line that was present on the original Surface RT from Microsoft.
Windows 8[.0] is an operating system that runs on x86 and x64 CPUs powering desktop, laptops, tablets, and so on.
Windows 8.0 Pro is a specific edition of Windows 8.
There is no Pro edition of Windows RT.
Surface is a line of tablets from Microsoft.
Surface RT is an ARM tablet by Microsoft that comes with Windows RT 8.0 and is upgradable to Windows RT 8.1.
Surface Pro is an x64 tablet by Microsoft that comes with Windows 8 Pro and is upgradable to Windows 8.1 Pro.
There are a bunch of other things, but hopefully you can now speak more clearly about the problem...
Anyhow. So, you have a Surface. It's either RT or Pro. It's bootlooping. I feel compelled to point out at this time that XDA is *NOT* a product support forum! Unless what happened was the result of applying some hack you found on here, this is probably not the best place to look for help. There are actual support forums, not to mention real tech support options where you can talk to people who have the ability to do things like issue warranty replacements. That is where you should be. But, with that said...
First of all, unless consumer protection laws are *way* weaker in the Netherlands than the rest of Europe, you should be covered. One day would fall under lemon laws even in the US, I think.
Second, considering that you tried putting the ISO files on the flask drive you talk about using, I'm skeptical that you have "applied them both in a good way" as that is never, so far as I'm aware, the correct way to do it. For example, you may have neglected to make the drive bootable.
Third, have you tried connecting a keyboard (via USB) and using that to access the recovery options? Holding the volume buttons *should* work (although I forget exactly which ones you hold for which effect) but it's possibly work trying a keyboard as well/instead. The Touch or Type Cover keyboards would not work here; the EFI doesn't have drivers for them (only for USB, which they do not use).
Dear forum members,
I intend to start learning to develop apps for Android. My PC is a bit old however, Intel Core i7 920 2.67 GHz from 2009, with 16 GB ram, running Windows 10.
Will this computer be good enough for Android App development? I guess I need decent speed of the build process and I need to be able to run various emulators sufficiently fast.
If not good enough, could you recommend a decent (Windows) modern computer configuration that will not break my bank?
Warm regards,
Sven
