Hi Deani,

Just wondering about the battery consumption on overclock P525 (520MHz) .. how is yours if you're using for normal calls + sms (no bluetooth or wifi)

I'm now considering to upgrade to WM6 due to my problem with WM5 alarm. The alarm was trigger but there is no way you can off it bcos no "Dismiss" menu appear in your screen. The sound just continuously ringing even i soft-rest my PDA.

My temporary solution for this, installed MemMaid then delete all <blank> notification and <clock> alarm notification, it works but if another alarm triggered again then i have to redo mentioned steps earlier.

Battery consumption on normal usage (no WiFi + no BT) was generally satisfied since Asus PDA have the CPU mode. I can use it for 2 days (for more than one year old PDA and battery) on Auto mode.

Actually when you activate Auto mode, your processor will change it speed according to load you give. I ever saw (using TCPMP player) my processor running below 100MHz.

Meaning that we still can control the CPU mode eventho it has been overclocked to 520Mhz ?

BTW Could you please verify my steps below b4 i continue with the WM6 upgrade from my virgin P525 with WWE ROM v3.34 :-

WM6 Setup
-------------------
1. Format SD Card with FAT16

3. Connect PDA to power
4. Run Asus unlock lang id if you use other than English version of ROM before
5. Press Camera button + poke soft reset hole
6. Wait until the flashing is finished

Yes, the CPU mode still working. I also confirmed this with other member at XDA Developer.

That the step I use. Before continue upgrade it to WM6.1 please ensure that your boot loader already been upgrade to 070518180359 version.

Thanks for your answer but b4 that one more question... can i use SPB Backup file from WM5 in WM6 or WM6.1 ? If cannot, how can i load back all my PIM, Contacts, etc from my previous WM5 to my new WM6?

u can use jeyo mobile companion to backup all contacts/sms/etc..

AFAIK you cannot use backup from different version of WM (WM5,WM6 and WM6.1). It will failed to read it. But if backup was made from same WM version. It OK

I always sync my contact to my notebook using microsoft outlook.

Trying to upgrade just now.. but why when i press Camera button + poke soft reset hole.. it just do normal soft reset .. then came out with normal WM5 .. nothing happen... do i miss something ?

Nevermind.. i didnt press camera button properly just now.. now is updating.. hopefully successful ..

Added on July 23, 2008, 9:53 pmAfter few days using WM6.1 Mobiz version 7, i realize a few problems such as ;-

- Volume of incoming call always maximum eventho set to lowest volume
- WIFI already turn off but the bluelight (on top) still blinking. Have to turn off it a few time or soft reset and turn off again


Deani, have you encounter these problem as well ? any solution ?

For the WIFI problem still can manage it but for the volume problem.. arghhhh everytime i have incoming call everyone around me can listen to it.. it was TOO LOUD

So far I also didn't find solution for that. Yes, during using phone, it was to loud and everybody can hear my conversation.

For the WiFi, that problem occurred to me randomly. What I do was click at the WiFi icon at the bottom to active it and click again to deactivate it.

One more thing, for the customize ROM user, there is a software called free RAM.exe inside Windows folder. You can make shortcut and use this program to free up your RAM without soft reset your PDA.

Thanks, you've saved my time bcos i always soft-reset to gain more RAM

No problem bro... we share what we know

Another WM7 skin using rlToday software

Asus P525 is one of Favorites in PDAs. Reliable, good battery life, Wifi, bluetooth smooth, fast processing, & Keypad+ touch screen makes es navigation, a decent camera 2.0 mp

until today my p525 still stable with mobiz10..

someone report slow & sluggish..experienced that b4 and i realize that at my case
i can't switch to usb mobe..so i leave there at activesync mode all the time..
if i swicth to usb mode,my hp become slow & hang badly..

i think i solved the problem with loud volume of incoming call by upgrading radio version to a.4.9.1. Seems that the call volume control also works.

Thankz for the info... I already upgrade to that version long time ago but didn't notice it will solve the loud volume problem. May be already get used to it

Added on July 26, 2008, 11:38 amYou mean switch it to mass storage device (card reader) mode? Because so far I have no problem with that on Mobiz10.

I'm having problem with Bluetooth in MOBIZ_10 while using Garmin Mobile XT.

When first time execute Garmin Mobile XT, there is no problem with bluetooth to connect with my ext GPS and the map navigation works perfectly.

The problem occurs when i exit Garmin Mobile XT and try to enable the bluetooth again. System wont let me to ON my bluetooth again until i soft reset my P525.

Is there any workaround to fix this at the moment ?

When you use GMXT, did you switch on BT manually or GMXT switch it on automatically? Because so far I didn't face that problem.

Added on July 28, 2008, 5:24 pmJust to share this info with other...

If you have problem surfing to internet or checking your e-mails on your PDA while docking it your PC.

Using any registry editor, add this value

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"AllowLSP"=dword:00000000

Work for me after so many time googling around.

I allow GMXT to switch the bluetooth on automatically. Actually what is the best way ? manual or auto ?

I always let GMXT switch it on automatically because I'm affraid I forgot to turn it off after exit GMXT. Did this problme occured before you upgrade the radio firmware?

Yeah i cant switch to mass storage mode,use card reader only..

& deani
can u give a link to download radio version 4.9.1
seems mine still 4.7
