Does your Axim lose the date/time when you change the battery? Check this!

Bump - why isn't this sticky yet?

I agree it should be a sticky. At some time or other all X51V users will run into this if the capacitor stops holding a charge. I have been using this little application since it was first suggested by its author.

My Axim lost date and time on a total battery discharge last weekend and I just noticed today it loses date and time on battery changes too.
This is a very useful application for this problem. Thanks a lot.

I downloaded your zip file but can't get it to run. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Need a little more information (we can't read minds ) How did you try to run it? Are you using a zip program to unzip it first? Are you trying to run it on your PDA or or your pc?

Step 1) remove the cab file from within the zipped file to your local pc hard drivee (remembering its down load location).
Step 2) Copy the cab file to your Pocket PC either directly using the ActiveSync Explore application or place the cab file onto a CF or SD memory card.
Step 3) Locate the file on your Pocket PC or the CF or SD memory card with the Pocket PC File Explorer and tap the application with your stylus to start the install process.
Thats pretty much it.

Having just got a second hand axim x51v, this is a really useful app. Thanks Mike

Pardon my ignorance, but when I unzip, it does not recognize the file extension. Anything I'm doing wrong?

[shield&buckler]

When you do step 1, which winzip action do you do? Extract? I followed what you said but my PDA said that it did not recognize the file extension. Please help.

Extracted and ready to go : MikelSpikel BatteryReplace.cab - Windows Live SkyDrive

1. Press download, and save to anywhere
2. Sync your Axim and copy+paste it onto the main memory of your Axim.
3. Using File Explorer on your Axim (Found in Programs), double-tap the .cab file.
4. Follow instructions

Already fixed his problem John.


He was making the quite common and understandably mistake of unzipping too far.

[johnhu_2005]

Oh lol. I remember trying to unzip a .cab... hehe

[rlarson_mn]

Actually Mike fixed his problem!
