General Discussion / mp3s skip over wifi and samba
« on: December 14, 2003, 10:44:16 am »
I worked out the problem.  Its the symbol wifi card- its a low power card, which is good for the battery but means it doesn\'t download as fast.  I swapped it for a dlink 660w and that works fine without skipping (but uses more power).

General Discussion / mp3s skip over wifi and samba
« on: December 14, 2003, 09:05:03 am »
I notice my mp3s skip badly over the wifi network via samba from a linux pc.  I notice however, a lot of zaurus users love the mp3/oggs via samba wifi functionality.  However, for me it is unuseable.  Is there anyway that I can fix this issue.

Here are configs:

sharp rom 1.32
zaurus 5600
symbol spectrum24 wifi
linksys wifi access point befw11s4 ver 2
tckplayer (or the default sharp media player)
mp3s are 128kbs

I was wondering if there were apps that could buffer the mp3s.  Or perhaps I should use nfs sharing rather than samba?  Have I got a really slow wifi card?  My laptop plays mp3s over the network fine.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Ashley

Sharp ROMs / format harddrive, reinstall os?

No uninstalling didn\'t do the trick.

But formatting the flash did though, so thanks for that.  

I also found out why I couldn\'t connect to the network.  After setting up the network settings, I figured that the z5600 would connect automatically to the network upon inserting the wifi card (like my win98 laptop).  I didn\'t realise I had to press the little globe icon on the taskbar to establish a connection first.  Very dumb of me.  Anyway now surfing with the best of them

Thanks for your help

Sharp ROMs / format harddrive, reinstall os?
« on: December 08, 2003, 08:13:02 pm »
I have had some probs connecting a Symbol Spectrum24 wifi cf to a zaurus 5600.  I stupidly, installed a 5500 driver (from myzaurus.com) on the 5600 and now the wifi card is not even acknowledged (no little green light, or cf sign down the bottom right of zaurus screen).

I tried updating the 5600 rom from myzaurus.com.  I was successful, but it only updates existing applications etc without deleting earlier stuff.  eg.  other applications I\'ve installed prior to updating rom, are  still there.  Conqequently, the card still doesn\'t work.

How do i do the equivalant of format hard drive and do a fresh install of rom?  I would actually like to restore the factory one (I have the original cd), as the guy I bought the zaurus and specturm 24 card off (second hand) claims that the card should work perfectly out of the box.  So I\'m trying to recreate those initial conditions.

Thanks!
