Class 8 operation assigns 4 of 5 channels for Receive (download) and 1 channel for Transmit (upload). In contrast, the default Class 10 operation assigns 3 Receive and 2 Transmit channels. </p> optimization Fri, 25 Feb 2005 00:53:19 -0500 http://www.extremeppc.com/node/61 <a href="node/61"><span class="image thumbnail"><img src="http://www.extremeppc.com/files/images//gprs_speed_rx-61.jpg" width="240" height="320" alt="GPRS Speed Tweak" title="GPRS Speed Tweak" /></span> </a><p>A very simple tweak that significantly improves GPRS performance!</p> optimization Fri, 25 Feb 2005 00:50:43 -0500 http://www.extremeppc.com/node/18 <p>I recently upgraded my PDA2K to the new ROM build. Here's the new version info:</p> <p>ROM version: 1.22.00 WWE<br /> ROM date: 10/22/04<br /> Radio version: 1.06.00<br /> Protocol version 1337.38<br /> ExtROM version: 1.22.162 WWE </p> <p>Well, after a week of using my PDA2K with the upgraded ROM there is trouble in paradise. Prior to the upgrade, I never had to reset my device; now I have to perform a soft reset at least 2-or-3 times per day. It's so bad that I'm considering reverting back to the old build, but unfortunately I did not save it before flashing the device. I'll have to hunt down the prior build. Well, this is another example of the hazards life on the edge of mobile computing.</p> optimization Thu, 06 Jan 2005 00:08:39 -0500 http://www.extremeppc.com/node/15 <p>Well, I just successfully updated my PDA2K to the latest official ROM. I just couldn't wait to try it since there are a couple of niggling issues with the unit that I hope will be cleared up with the upgrade.</p> <p>My new version info is as follows:</p> <li>ROM version: 1.22.00 WWE <li>ROM Date: 10/22/04 <li>Radio Version: 1.06.00 <li>Protocol version: 1337.38 <li>ExtROM Version: 1.22.162 WWE <p>The update is supposed to correct some audio issues and improve BlueTooth performance. It's too soon to tell definitively, but here are my initial observations: audio quality appears to be improved, and MS Voice Command still working great; however, the MS Voice Recorder "one-side recording on phone calls" issue is still not solved.</p> optimization Wed, 29 Dec 2004 02:07:49 -0500 http://www.extremeppc.com/node/12 <p>Use this book page for system upgrade questions and answers.</p> optimization Wed, 29 Dec 2004 01:06:02 -0500
