Hello,

I am a fairly new Axim X51 (QVGA, 520 Mhz) user.. I’ve had it for about a month now and it’s going great. Soft resets are common but I seem to develop tricks over time to minimize the chances of crashing the OS. Overall my experience is good – It’s amazing what this thing can do. It’s just too bad the OS is not that robust.. Sometimes it feels like it’s a beta version.

I have a few questions, any help would be appreciated.

- Task Manager: In all honesty, I’m a little disappointed in how the task manager displays the tasks. First off, it only has 3 levels of priority (L/M/H). Also, why does every task take 2 line of text, even if the 2nd line is blank? I miss my Palm Vx for this. Any suggestions or tips, replacement software? Looked around but haven’t found much information on this.

- Tray Icons: I only know of 3 applications that can go in the system tray.. BT, Wifi, and a Task Manager I downloaded from FdcSoft (GREAT app). I see some screenshots with a lot more icons. Is there a way to control what applications go there, or is it solely determined by the application itself?

- Bars on today screen: Any way to remove the horizontal bars on the today screen, between the various sections? No big deal here, but it would look better (depending on the skin)..

- Task manager and WiFi settings: It seems that every task manager hangs on the wireless settings screen. I tried Magic button and vbar, and both of them seem to conflict with that screen. Any tips here?

- Downloading files on the web: I’m having difficulties downloading attachments, with PIE or Webby. For example, Gmail. Unable to download attachments… ie: A small excel document with the .XLS extension. If I click on it, it opens in a text editor and shows garbage text. If I tap and hold on the attachment, doesn’t work. Any tips?

- Flash: I’ve installed the flash player and tried a few sites but.. I have yet to see a flash animation. How do I ensure this is properly working.. Any sites to test with? How do I troubleshoot this?

Other than that, this site is great. Admins, members, keep up the good work! I don’t know anybody with a PDA and it’s great to have this forum and be able to exchange tips and information.

Thanks,
Rob

I don't have an X51 or WM5. Just wanted to say "hi" and you cam to the right place to have these questions answer.

For better web browsing, and downloading Opera works for many. If you do a search on most of these questions you should get an answer.
