Sharp ROMs / Display problems with Cacko 1.21

« on: July 26, 2004, 01:14:27 am »

I just flashed my c860 to Cacko 1.21 and Hotfix B, and I'm getting "ghosting" below the text and banding on the screen.  This is pretty noticeable on the main menus with the icons, and the banding is really noticeable with the image viewer when displaying photos.  I saw a post about this in an old thread, but no solution.  Anyone having this problem, and is there a fix?  
Otherwise, I'm going to have to go back to the stock ROM...

Sharp ROMs / Time reset problem

« on: July 23, 2004, 12:56:25 pm »

Sorry for the cross-post from the General forum, but no help or ideas yet.
My c860 came back from Sharp Japan repair center (problem with the SD card
retention mechanism, now fixed) with a weird symptom. It resets itself to July 1,
2004, particularly when re-starting after a suspend and turn-on. I also noticed that
there are now two Date/Time icons in the Settings tab, one in English and one in
Japanese (different icons, but pull up similar but separate system time settings).
The clock has been running (now it is July 2nd) but I can't get the current date
reset to "stick".  Everytime I go into suspend or off mode, it will come back and
reset itself to the earlier July '04 date.  
Anyone have a possible solution?

Thanks,
Mike

I'm running the stock Sharp ROM which was preloaded on the c860:
Qtopia 1.54 (3/16/04) and Sharp ROM 1.31 JP.

Software / KO/Pi time reset problem

« on: July 22, 2004, 11:35:33 am »

My c860 came back from Sharp Japan repair center (problem with the SD card retention mechanism, now fixed) with a weird symptom.  It resets itself to July 1, 2004, particularly when starting KO/Pi right after a suspend and turn-on.  I'll start KO/Pi, and the system resets time to a PM hour, and the date to July 1.  It will also do it on its own after a suspend/turn-on.  I also noticed that there are two Date/Time icons in the Settings tab, one in English and one in Japanese (different icons, but pull up similar but separate system time settings).
Anyone have a possible solution?

Running the OEM sharp rom, and KO/Pi-KA/Pi  1.93 and the current version KO/Pi Alarm Applet.

Thanks,
Mike

Cxx0 General discussions / Clamshell warranty repairs

« on: July 21, 2004, 02:55:29 pm »

I just received my c860 back from Dynamism this morning, after a repair.
It had to be sent to Sharp Japan, as the SD Card slot retention mechanism
failed and it wouldn't hold the card.  Total time without my Z was a day or
two short of 4 weeks, but at least they were able to facilitate the repair.
If I had bought from eBay or a Japanese source, this may likely have
not been possible.  For me, it was worth the extra $100 or so to buy
from Dynamism.  The 4 weeks wait was very painful, though...

Cxx0 Hardware / Help! SD card slot malfunction

« on: June 23, 2004, 12:30:55 am »

Well, no solution other than to send it in to Dynamism, who looked at it and found that it has to be sent back to Sharp Japan.  Likely 3 weeks turnaround time.....
definitely having withdrawal....but glad I bought it from a vendor where a warranty fix could be implemented.

Cxx0 Hardware / Help! SD card slot malfunction

« on: June 17, 2004, 01:04:43 pm »

My (c860) SD card will no longer stay in the slot!  Pressing it in you can feel the spring action, but it doesn\'t click in to stay in position.  Anyone have a solution?  If not, glad I bought from Dynamism...I\'ll have to exchange/repair.

Security and Networking / Firewall?

« on: May 28, 2004, 11:30:29 pm »

Is there a way to run a firewall on the Zaurus?  Or is it necessary?
Lets say I\'m on a public system, like t-mobile at $tarbuck$.  What
would keep someone else on the network from accessing my Z,
other than locking out the samba folder via chmod?
This would be a pain, as I\'d have to change access rules anytime I
wanted to TCP/IP files with my notebook computer.

Software / What is the best Zaurus E-mail program?

« on: May 28, 2004, 11:27:08 pm »

I have great luck with the default email program.  

The only downside is I have not figured out an easy way to purge many emails at once...it is an all-or-nothing thing as far as I can tell.

I really wish there was a way to highlight emails and delete the selected emails without opening them.  But I haven\'t figured out a way to do it.  Otherwise, the Sharp email program is fine.

I assume once you register it you are able to use the open with and the text editor/picture viewer?

Yes!  It works great.

It appears to be up now:

Cxx0 General discussions / Review of cases and accessories for the C7xx

« on: May 25, 2004, 10:38:58 pm »

It was actually the only one in Lisa\'s review that seemed to be available in the US. I notice that the Extream case is now in stock as well.

The only problem, as she pointed out, is that there is not a thumb cutout for removing the CF card. Other than that, it\'s a high quality case at a very good price.

I just ordered a case from Xigma, which looks like a different design in the review, more like the Extreme Body Suit (which is seemingly sold out) and a bit less expensive:

Windows Issues / Sync Options

« on: May 25, 2004, 06:45:23 pm »

Did you install the firewall with XP?  That could be causing a problem.

No firewall on the Zaurus USB connection - that wasn\'t the problem - it was a corrupt *.pst file in Outlook (see prior post).

Software / Address Book fix?

« on: May 25, 2004, 01:53:17 pm »

Is there a workaround to fix the Japanese address book on a Cx60 so that the contact information is sorted alphabetically in English?
Mine is seemingly completely random, and virtually unusable because of it.  Also, is there a way to change/add fields?
