wag mo hayaang mag-fulldrain ang back-up battery.. tsak alaways back-up sa pc pag nilagay sa cradle... kug walang task manager, basta be sure na totlly closed ang program, not just pgpindot nung X, kasi maghahang yan sa dami ng open programs..di ko lang alam yung mga bago ngayon..

akin kasi ung galing kay sir boybi, HP ipaq h2210 ata.. pero ok may CF,mmc/sd slot, may bluetooth pa..wala lang wifi windows mobile 2002 ata yung os...alam ko good player ang beta-player.. and i just use it kung may seminars, notes chatting-->for later typing to word...

[kimpOy]

how do i find the task manager....
nice tip AY

[alwayz_yummy]

sakit sa ulo kasing mag-reset ng PDA while on the go... keep ka din ng back-up sa memory card incase of emergencies

sa akin kasi may dedicated button, usualy sineset yun,e.. sa manual meron yun malamang..

anu OS nyan? microsoft din ba like the XDA?

[oldblue]

HP Ipaq 1950. nagkarun ako dati di ko matandaan kung 1910 o 1920 pero binenta ko kasi i'm not a Pda person

oks yan malamang Microsoft yan.

[kimpOy]

yup microsoft windows mobile 5.0

[wildthing]

kung microsoft windows mobile 5, that would probably behave like the XDA2 that I use to have.

Adding files is as simple as copy and paste - the easiest way is to have the PDA interface cable for PC and install the software. It would open up like the file manager sa PC and recognize the PDA like another hard disk.

Next option (would require you should have card reader sa PC) is to have the files transfered sa memory card.

Pero pag-aplications, it might need an application "installer" or sometimes, you should transfer the application dun sa application folder, otherwise ayaw basahin as an application iyun.

kimpoy,

saan mo nabili yung hp ipaq mo? kasi my gf is thinking of buying a lifedrive pero phased-out na ito, so tirang stocks na lang ang mga na sa stores kung may makita man. yung palm tx dito 18k naman.

I use WM5 on an O2 XDA Exec with a 2GB card. A lot of installation files for WM5 need to run on a pc via ActiveSync (cable connection), while others need to be transferred to the PDA and ran through WM5's File Manager (like CAB files) ... so it all depends on the installation files.

As AY posted, [X] doesn't really close the application - it still runs in the background. The Task Manager is in the Programs folder, but a better way (for me) is to install Magic Button which let you close the app from the task bar. Windows Media isn't good either because of the limited media types it can play. There maybe better ones out there, but it's TCPMP I'm using as a media player.

kimpOy, you will need MS Activesync (which is bundled with your PDA) to install most softwares, including games, for your PDA. For MP3s, videos, etc., you can either copy them directly to the memory card of your PDA via a card reader, or you can drag and drop it via Activesync by first clicking the Explore button in the Activesync panel.

wildthing, the O2 XDA2 is not a WM5 device. It's OS is WM2003. WM5 uses persistent memory, meaning, when the battery loses its juice, all the data in your PDA will still be intact, unlike WM2003, which will totally wipe out all your data when the battery gets drained.
