Comment on Dopod 838 Pro replacement ROM by Ken

Steve, the 1A charger works fine with a small but. If the phone has been used for several applications and then attempt to charge while running navigation software it does not recognise the charger, do a soft restart and all works fine charging phone and running any apps. Only a small problem with a monor work around. Noted the request for WM6.5 and agree with your comments, also have a KJam with 6.5 – yes works but slow, eg the speach from navigation software incomplete as cannot keep up. Regards, Ken

Hi Phil,

Since writing this I have re-written it in Perl. I’ll look at putting the code online in the near future.

I have a PCR-100 and I am just getting started in PHP/MySQL (I’m 1/2 through the “Dummies” Book). I am no real whiz on Linux either.

I am very interested in a copy of the PHP scripts so I can see how the web interface marries up to pcrd.

If anyone has one they rolled themselves ( or if you wouldn’t mind sharing yours Steve ), my e-mail is good on QRZ.

Thanks for the help

Comment on Review of the Linksys SRW2024 switch. by Taj

Any true quality managed Gigabit switch should give you a min of 50 MB/s sustained thru-put unless your using a realtek or a crappy nic. I have an old 3Com office connect 8 port switch with a 1 MB buffer that will do 10.5 MB/s Sustained between two workstations with intel pro 100S Desktop nic’s and 2 7200 rpm seagate 8MB Cache drives & p3-600 cpu’s. I’ve tried this with 6 pc’s connected to it and it only dropped to 10.2 MB/s. Cisco doesn’t advertise what the buffer is for the SRW2024 switch but says it’s switching cap is 48Gb/s as they well know thru-put is based on hardware, buffer, MTU’s, & MPPS not advertised port speed. Newegg says it has a 2 MB buffer. If that is in fact true then this switch is no faster than a Cisco 2950T-24 that has an 8MB packet memory buffer & 10.1 Mpps wire-speed forwarding rate of the back plane. It’s like they’re advertising a car that has 50hp specification capable cylinders … does that mean if I have a v6 I’ll get a 300hp engine ??? Let see 48Gb/s = 6GB/s this would be as fast as the Intel Itanium2 Zx1 bus speed .. which I highly doubt!!

No. I have no plans to build a WM6.5 ROM. The HTC Hermes is just getting too slow and dated for the extra requirements of WM6.5. It would be like trying to run Windows 7 on a 10 year old PC – sure it can be done – but it won’t be user friendly or fast.

Comment on Release 13.4 of Dopod 838 Pro ROM released. by Peter Triglone

Steve,

Have been trying to flash rom but your install says spl 1.11 needed – I have 2.10 olipro installed – install fails and gets 230 error.

Do I need spl 1.11 for this to work and if so can you point me in the direction of a copy – links on your related links are dead, and don’t lead to 1.11?

thanks Peter

Java 1.6 is not available for OSx 10.4, you either have to upgrade to mac os x 10.5 or find a patch somehow…I am trying to find a patch… Soy Latte might be a possibility
