Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Zaurus hangs at power up

« on: August 09, 2004, 07:50:39 am »

I have a Zaurus 5500 that I flashed to Openzaurus 3.3.6-Pre1 with Opie 1.1.4.

Everytime I power up the Zaurus, it hangs. The only way I can get it to power up is to reset the unit first.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

mnmis

I suggest a re-install!

Sharp ROMs / Cacko ROM for 5500

« on: July 21, 2004, 01:35:48 pm »

Even if you stay with default Sharp ROM, I suggest to upgrade the kernel - it provides a few benifits.

Can you post a list of these benifits!


Thanks,

I suggest that you roll back to the stock Sharp ROM you might find a little satisfaction and decide to keep it!

Can someone confirm that GAIM works with MSN at the moment please?

...and are we talking about the version from killefiz.de? It says it's version 0.4.

Thanks,


Si

Yes I can confirm it works!
I used qpe-gaim_0-1.4-1_arm.ipk from
http://qpe-gaim.sourceforge.net/feed/release

Install notes are available from

yep, I'm posting this from my SL-5500. all i can say is i wish i had a 760 with a big screen. other than that, its not to bad.

Try rotating the screen when posting thats what I do also install Opera 7.30 if you haven't already and use the small screen mode. But I hear you on the 760
though!

« on: July 01, 2004, 12:35:28 pm »

qman : I have tried Opie Reader but with no success.


Jim

Sorry to here that OPIE Reader didn't work, did it install and run OK and just wouldn't load/read the ebook or did it fail to install and run at all?

BTW whats the name of the ebook thats given you problems?

Software / pdb format reader?

« on: June 30, 2004, 07:38:56 pm »

I've just purchased and downloaded a pdb format ebook from Powells.com under the mistaken belief that my reader supported this format.

I've tried a couple of other readers but with no success.

Can anyone recommend another reader known to work with pdb formats?

Thanks,

Jim

Have you tried OPIE Reader it reads .pdb files and is what I use on my 5500
with ROM 2.38.

Not by beaming!
The best way is to sync both your Z and Palm to Outlook!

General Discussion / Run the battery dead, what happens?

« on: June 19, 2004, 06:09:41 am »

Assuming it\'s a 5600, as in your sig... Nothing really bad. Supposedly if you run it down to completly no power a lot (like every single charge/discharge cycle), it can cause the battery to mess up, but you can buy another.

So to sum it up... Nothing really bad.

What if its a 5500?

Software / Quicken replacement

« on: June 16, 2004, 11:51:07 am »

I didn\'t see any facility to import or export .qif files.
I wanted to import at least this years data from quicken, but was sufficiently pleased with the rest of the program to forego the history, and start fresh.

Qman:
We would really like to see your response to this and comment on any plans for this.

One other request would be to add comments/notes for transfer transactions.

WOW I just checked and you\'re correct there is no qif export!
As far as plans go I\'m just an end user, sorry!

Linux Applications / What PIM Apps do you use

« on: June 15, 2004, 02:27:41 am »

Default ROM 2.38 PIM on the Z and Outlook on the PC. Got my first look
at Evolution on a Linux box to night and liked, so I\'ll be installing it ASAP
on my Linux box.  :wink:

« on: June 14, 2004, 07:51:57 am »

You can start by visiting http://pocketworkstation.org/ if you haven\'t already!

BTW I\'ve been thinking on doing the same thing on my SL-5500.


Good luck,
Qman...
