Aloha to all....!!!!!!

Well...i thought I'd share my experience with all those having problems in sharing data between their mobile phones and the axim, eventhough it is only HALF a solution..like I said PART 1....

Hopefully the other half will be solved soon...

So...here goes to all the newbies like mee.......

First off...sysinfo from my AXIM:
"Model: Dell Axim X5
CPU: Intel® PXA255 400 MHz A0 Stepping
Flash: 28F192 / 48 MB
RAM: 64 MB
ROM Version: A02 (03050300EN)
OS Version: 3.0.11171 (Build 11178)"

I have NOT done any ROM upgrades since i got my axim like 2 weeks ago.

I have been trying to beam my contacts FROM my 8210 TO AXIM for the past days, but ALWAYS failed....till the solution happened by TOTAL CHANCE....and i successfully beamed 120+ contacts in a row...ALL worked perfectly....

PART 2 will be about beaming FROM AXIM TO 8210 when i get it to work....

Here goes:

1. Allign both infrared ports...but DONOT place them close together....more like 4 inches (~ 15cm)

2. Goto your contact on your mobile...scroll to "send via IR" prepare to press "select" but NOT JUST YET!!

3. On the AXIM...GOTO:
Start>Programs> and prepare your stylus to tap on "Infrared recieve" BUT NOT JUST YET!!

4. Now press "select" on your mobile FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY (1-2 seconds) by tapping with the stylus on "Infrared recieve" on the AXIM.....VOILA...

The AXIM will ask you if u wanna save your contact within 1-2 seconds.


If the AXIM starts searching for a DEVICE and finds the 8210, TAP CANCEL.....IT WILL NEVER RECIEVE ANYTHING....it means u miss timed your press and tap!!

It worked for me for the past hour.....hope this helps.....GOOD LUCK!!...........
