hi guys,

just bought an Asus P320 with 4Gb for my girlfriend. Its rather perfect for lady user I would say..and comes with latest firmware which very much fixed most of the existing problems..

Firmware V4.13.0 - updated 10/10/08

Just some opinions to the moderator, perhaps you can post the latest links to updated firmwares, tips & tricks, recommended software etc on the main page

As a thread starter, I can edit the first post with the useful info for the user... Just PM me what info you want me to add at the first post.

PMed..

mapking does not use your main memory, it is Garmin that takes up to 8MB in the main memory.
there is no way you can move this to storage memory, it is standard for wm device.

I might try update latest firmware to my P320. (Never try b4 )

Update firmware will DEL/Loss all our software or any other file that b4 update firmware ?
Do i need reinstall all the software & backup everything ?

yes. tho data in storage will remain. but stuff u install in storage card may need to be reinstalled as essential registry and data files may be in pda memory, which will be wiped clean

Hmm ... that mean additional software that NOT c/w WM6.1 need reinstall right ? Eg. Garmin, CE-star (chinese), Internet Browser (3rd party) ... etc etc. How bout phonebook, SMS, email ?

It look very "mafan" to reinstall everything.

Any back-up software that can do it easy ?

yes those stuff all gone. phonebook sms and e mail all also will be gone. but contacts, and calendar and tasks shud be synced with active synced. u can also try PIM back up, to save contacts, tasks, and calendars as well as sms. but IMHO its better to start fresh with the sms, dunno why i feel restoring sms from PIMbackup somehow lags the device like crazy

as for reinstalling your software all....i havent tried it myself, but u shud have a look at Shashimi(google, cannot find then i find for u). Mind u i havent try before, as my stuff in storage card installed, i can just copy paste a new shortcut and it runs. those which dun run get error must reinstall.

Million thanks Bro

I think reinstall software still can accept (just need time only). Cause just install only.
But Contact & SMS will kill me, cause it was important for me. Contact we can use Active Sync, but SMS ...

sms use PIMBackup like i said bro. and again i'd advise against it. u see lor. if u find after restoring sms your entire pda lag, even after soft reset, hard reset, restore everything except sms this time lor

Okie, bro. I'll try it tonight. Post the result after i done everything.

WM6.1 does not support SMS transfer to Memory card like Symbian phone right ?

Opss ... Microsoft ActiveSync NOT support for Vista user ?

I just download from Microsoft & can't install ActiveSync for Vista

edit* ActiveSync for Vista is - Microsoft Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1, problem solve.

Vista uses something else. it shud already be synced. not sure. ask other vista users or google it i dun use vista lol

I beg to differ. After installing Garmin into phone memory, u can easily transfer the files to memory card and create a shortcut to it in the Menu, and save spaces in Phone Memory.

its not standard for WM device...

p320 user here, the thing used to lag a bit but the new firmware really solved the prob.

for gps, garmin is really good and accurate, doesnt really drain the batt also.

i juz buy p320 today, is 2nd hand user 1month, rm800, worth ?
this is my first PDA phone, i dun realy knw how to use.
i trying to copy program to program file folder, but is not work.
can anyone guide me how to do it ?

What OS your computer use. If you still use XP. You need to install Active Sync 4.5 into your PC/Notebook in order to sync your PDA and installing any application with *.exe entension. For application with *.cab extension. Just copy the program to any location in your PDA (the best was your memory card), click on the application and it will install it.

nope, i using vista, and i use CD to install it,
but canot connected duno why . and i only can copy file to phone memory,
canot detect memory card.
wat do u mean by click on ?
need to click on inside application setup only can install ? not juz only copy ?

** sorry i m stupid coz i new on PDA , and my english suck too, hope u understand.

hi guys,

previously it was mentioned in this thread that asus p320 can be overclocked using Chi-Tai HomeScreen PlusPlus (aka BatteryStatus). I tried the OC software but when I press "Get" under OMAP tab, it cant get the processor speed. I tried to force OC to 221Mhz and above, but seems like no difference. I guess this software doesnt work on P320..anyone got any idea??

I suspected something wrong with your PDA or your vista settings. Anyway for installer with *.exe extension you can install it directly from pc, just click on the installer and follow their instruction. You also will get the instruction on your PDA where to install the software (memory car or phone memory). For installer with *.cab extension, you need to copy it to your PDA (either to memory card or your phone memory). Use file explorer to located the installer you just copy, click on it and follow the instruction.
