Strange notification queues causing battery drain?

silvscorp · 11-27-06, 12:54 PM

In general, the axim 51v is running stable but once a while I'll see a 10% or more power drop over night. I've always turned off wifi and bt. I was checking the notification queue with Memmaid and noticed the following:

\windows\calupd.exe - this is set to run usuall in 2-3 days at 12:00 AM

CALNOT.exe - December 03, 12:00:22AM

Anyone has idea what those two processes are?

I had no idea what these are and they are always there and have a scheduled date in near future. I've tried deleting those and reset the device, however they keeps on coming back.

Also, for those who has agile messenger. Everytime I run it, it will leave a notification queue and set to run every 5 mins. It will remain there even if you close the messenger. Anyone know what that process is for?

I believe that the two calendar things are the normal daily calendar updates that cause the pda to turn on each night at midnight. I don't think you can delete them but someone may have a way. i believe they are harmless. have you checked to make sure that something on your today screen isn't trying to update when it does turn on? maybe something like mail or a weather program?

I am only running pocketbreeze on the today screen. (I put the ilaunch inside the pocketbreeze tab)

Can anyone confrim to see if these two things are running on most of yours pda?

do you mean turn the device off and start again?

no the x51 series has a full power off option which can be enabled in the power options within settings

I am aware of the full power off option but what do you meany be turn it off? Are you suggesting I do a full power off every night instead?

You know you could stop the power drain by charging your unit every night :-P

I agree with you on the notification queue. I just reinstalled Agile Messenger 59 recently because 63 started charging and I started noticing battery drain. Sometimes when I do a soft reset, I get a notification error regarding AgileMessenger.exe or something like that (basically regarding Agile Messenger). I uninstalled it yesterday and no more, I have no more battery drain.
