General Discussion / Power

« on: July 08, 2004, 08:55:13 am »

I have an SL-5000d (if you havent read my GPS post) and i'm wondering about the power take on it.

I have a D-Link DCF-650W lan card, which isnt the best, but it works.

Even before i got the lan card, this thing sucks down my battery's power in no time at all. If i'm lucky i'll get a total of 1 hour from it without lan and 30-40 minutes with lan which frankly sucks when its compared to my old IPAQ and a Dell Axim X5 i borrowed from school.  

So whats the deal? i bought this used with this battery, is the battery going bad? should i expect more power from my Z?  what my alternatives besides a car charger for when its in the car with me?

General Discussion / GPS?

« on: July 08, 2004, 05:41:20 am »

I have an SL-5000d and i want to use GPS on it. I did this with my ipaq when i had one and it got stolen. since then i've bought the Z and i'm interested in GPS.

To start out with, what card should i get? i'm on a average budget so no $350 cards. I can get a stand-alone gps for $99.

What software should be running, i remember reading a thing about a guy using GPS on his SL-5500 but he had to hand-start a bunch of other stuff (if i remember) and i dont want to do that. Its not convientant for me to waste all kinds of time starting the GPS as it would be for my conveinance not my stress.

So, whos using GPS on their Z?

Sharp ROMs / ROM Recommendation?

« on: July 01, 2004, 07:53:49 pm »

Alright installed and running, here are problems i already have with it.


i cant rotate the screen
no media player at all
no web browser at all
network doesnt stay active when its not connect (shuts the card down when there is no access point) which i dont like becuase sometime i have to search for an access point when i'm at work, etc...  and i cant do that now.

Things i did like
easier interface
easier file management
ability to blank screen
better peripheral management
