20 Most Recent HP iPAQ RX3115 Pocket PC Questions & Answers

That's a universal problem with using the built-in software to set the picture. Rainald has a lot to say about it, and a solution, in this thread: http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?threadId =940242 Myself, I use Resco Photo Viewer to set my background picture--and it does fine, but that would be too much money to spend for just that one function. Good luck.

This was a fun project. Here's how I did it. You'll need to download a freeware audio editor named Audacity. I did this on a Mac, but it's cross-platform, and I'm assuming the menus are the same for Windows. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Then. (1) Copy .pwi (Note) file to PC (2) Open Audacity (3) Get the Note audio into Audacity by: Project menu Import as raw data (4) Select all of the audio by clicking below its file name at left of the graphic of the file (5) Click on dropdown menu (arrow next to file name) Set Rate to 11025 Hz (6) Convert to WAV by: File menu Export as wav

send it back these PDA devices are now legacy, what good is it. buy a used smart phone,, 10x better, really 100. end less apps. on cell. it will need a new main battery and the tiny one too,. all do this old., id send it back.

how far away are you ? from the router? (11b hates noise) IPAQ are obsolete why not ask at HP, since its there old device. ask here. https://h30434.www3.hp.com/ i cant see your router its name, or its model number nor the wifi pages inside. obviously wpa is not working in the IPAQ or is not compatible. there are sub modes of WPA, and many old devices like this IPAQ do not support, back long ago that was COMMON. here is its complance spec. Compliant to 802.1b (EAP-TLS, PEAP) WPa one poster said HP-IPAQ-rx3115 is only 802.11b 11mbit (ONLY) so does the book that means do NOT TURN OFF 11b in the router ! hp seems to have deleted all support, only asking in there forum works now, zero files books. 13 years old this, is. i had to google for you, for the book. why not yOU? http://www.mikechannon.net/PDF%20Manuals/Ipaq/IPAQ_RX3115.pdf so your router has broadcast SSID name. like ROVER and a password,? then set to WPA, (try all submodes in the router)??????? page 8-4 covers manual settings if wifi. my router a top brand, DIR655 has , mixed mode set, then WPA and WAP2 both on.... then wpa-personal mode then TKIP and AES both (my guess is you have this wrong) see how that allows older hardware work on a modern router? make sure AUTO channels is on, for up to 14 possible. i read your manual and it clearly fails to mention sub modes that tells me 2 thing,s its an old relic, and 2, has no submode choices only fixed mode and NOT STATED what it is, bad that. most old laptops do this same bad act, most. seen many, do that, infact some only do WPA and only 1 submode or only old insecure WEP. only lived that era, dont miss it at all. why use this old thing at all>? as street value of what $5 pack of cigs , as we used to say? 11b is 1999 spec (OLD) 18 years old now. run 1 band, e same 2.4GHz band 802.11b devices suffer interference from other products operating in the 2.4 GHz band. Devices operating in the 2.4 GHz range include: microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors and cordless telephones. Interference issues and user density problems within the 2.4 GHz band have become a major concern and frustration for users.

2005 new, 12 years old, is new? really, and is no longer supported by HP, after 10 years. my guess is the battery is toast, never seen any battery last 12 years, ever. not by a mile. this thing has no value now. if its LOVED, (why) then buy 2 and learn to fix them. be like only on earth wanting to... why not get a tablet.? modern. here is all there is. RTM and get a new battery first. http://support.hp.com/us-en/product/HP-iPAQ-rx3000-Mobile-Media-Companion-series/437953/model/437919/manuals r

Look at the very bottom of your iPAQ. Screen should be facing up. To the far left of the charger port there is a small black circle. Use a ball point pen, or other small diameter object, and insert the tip into the black hole to firmly but gently "tap" the button that is inset in the hole. This should activate a hard reset. Do not touch or otherwise mess with any buttons while the reset is in progress. Depending on what is loaded on your iPAQ this could take a few minutes.

Hope this helps.

Jourdan,
I am sorry to inform you that on a mobile once deleted stays deleted. And a hard reset means that you go back to the factory settings, as if the phone has been just bought. That is they say that one should make it a habit of backing up the data regularly. To make the computer recognize it as a removable drive, you go to settings and under USB you will find an option to show the phone as a removable drive. Else it is recognized as a modem. Change the visibility as Removable Drive or Mass Stotage.

change ur battery and always charge ur cell by turnin it off at nights

i believe you've just asked for the iPAQ rx3115 user manual

here you will find it: download

Either you dropped an Ipod or a PDA RX3115, but in both cases the device has water damage.

It requires to open it and check it to evaluate if it can be completely cleaned.

When the devices are wet and there is enough battery current, there is corrosion due to chemical reaction with copper, so sometimes the damage cannot be avoided, causing that the main board is completely damaged.

It requires some tools and experience to do it. If you are familiar with fixing electronics, you can try it. Otherwise, I do recommend you to get a technician in checking your device.

Best regards,

The top digitizer part is defective and needs to be replaced.

Unfortunately, such operation needs to be performed by a experienced technician since requires open the PDA, soldering, and replace the top glass digitize part with the risk of break the LCD screen.

I do recommend you to get a quote for such service.

If you want to try it, there are in Ebay some digitizer parts that are cheap, but you will ned to procure yourself other tools that are needed for the job.

Best regards,

You need to open your PDA and check for a false contact between the connectors of the LCD screen and the main board.

Other cause may be that the LCD screen flat ribbon cable is defective.

Either problem requires to open the PDA to check it.

If you have experience in opening electronic devices then you can try it. Otherwise, I do recommend you to have a experienced technician in checking your PDA.

Best regards,

If I understand correctly your problem, the touch screen of your PDA is not working.

Well, this is a common IPAQ failure. When happens, the only options to repair it are:

1. Soft reset of the PDA. If still does not work, then go to next step.

2. Replace the top digitizer glass.

It requires a very skillful person to do it. If you have not experience with fixing electronic devices, then I do suggest you to send it to repair.

Besides that is necessary to open it, you will require a soldering iron, and desolder the digitizer part and remove it from the LCD screen, which if is not done properly with the right tools, it's easy to damage the LCD screen assembly.

Also, if it's not opened right, is possible to damage permanently the mainboard if is bent or warped.

Also, even though there are a lot of cheap digitizer replacement parts on-line (mainly from China), they have a compatibility issue that prevents to use them in the RX3715 (or RX3115) PDAs.

I have nothing against Chinese manufactured parts, but after buy around 10 digitizers in the last couple of years for different Ipaq PDAs, I found out that only 3 worked fine, so I know what I am talking about.

Best regards,

It's not possible unless to modify your PDA.

It's necessary to open it, and find a place to place a microphone connector and modigy the mainboard to accept it.

Also, it is necessary to modify the external microphone to match the impendance.

Bottom line, it's possible but requires a person for it with some electronics technical skills.

Best regards,

It cannot switched the batteries. The backup one is a small internal battery just to keep the CMOS with data. That's it.

If you main battery is not charging or when unplugged won't power on, the is likely the main battery is defective, or the charging circuitry of it is failing.

Best regards,
