I was browsing the HP business support forums and came across this fix for the rx1955 not turning on and such..

Alan Rosenblum Dec 8, 2005 16:23:25 GMT Unassigned Hey guys, I was having a similar problem with the hx2495. When it was off for a few hours or more, it would not turn on, and the battery would be very low and had to soft reset. I found another thread that attributed the problem to ActiveSync w/ WM 5.0. You need to set Activesync on the Ipaq to manual schedule. You can do this by adding a fake exchange server connection -> ActiveSync -- Menu -- Add Server Source -- Enter an Ip address like "1.1.1.1" -- enter anything in the next 3 windows. After the fake exchange server is set, Menu/Schedule is available. Set both windows to Manual. Then, go back to connections and delete the fake exchange server. See the following link for the source of this trick: http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showt...light=wm5+tips Scroll down to Active Sync 4.0 turns on automatically. Users who posted after the fix have reported no further problems. I have just done this today, so I cannot comment on my success. Good Luck. Alan

Alan Rosenblum Dec 8, 2005 16:27:10 GMT Unassigned Just a further note, after you make this change, make sure to go into running programs and shut down Active Sync if it is running. It should only activate when you cradle it, or manually activate it. When you are thru Sync-ing, be sure to close the program on the ipaq. Alan

I apologize if this is old news, but I did not see anything about the fix on here, and I figured this may be of use to the current rx1955 users. Everyone on the HP forums has reported sucess using this fix as well.
Also, I believe HP's official patch/fix/update or whatever should be out any day now...(I think I read that here on these forums somewhere)

I tried this, sd card in, not enough time to see if it works. Batery has dropped 2% with out any use within 45 minutes, just turned on to check then off again, hurry up hp and ms 5. this is starting to remind me of packard bell crap

Somebody try this and let us know if it really works.
Definitely a bug.

so far so good, SD card still in, I haven't charged it up since my last post, I used it yesterday, watched a short video a couple of times, surfed internet with wifi a few times, have turned it on and off at least 30 times, no soft resets for the first time in a similar time period, battery charge still up to 89%, I encourage others to try this simple fix and let us know their results

I'll be sure to try it for myself tommorrow! lol. I plan on implementing this fix right away so that I avoid any problems.

still working fine, I've done a couple of syncs and installed pocket streets without problems,thanks cvec7

I was having the same problem and, after following these instructions, the problem completely disappeared. Now, the ipaq starts first time every time, uses almost no energy and I seem to feel it a bit more quick.
Problem solved!!

fortunately for me, I never had this problem with mine. However, mine is pretty new, so maybe HP adressed this issue, but has yet to figure out how to fix the previous ones......btw, I'm using a scandisk SD card

Worked great for me. Did this about two weeks ago and haven't had a problem since.
