Hi,

This "Phantom Scroll bug" to a better word, still exists in (OS:1.00.01, FW 0.77). To be honest on my handset (uk version) I have not noticed this bug before, as you say it is only evident if when you are in the phone function. You access a contact name directly and then when the list of options appear; call mobile, call home, Send Txt Msg Etc.. You attempt to select by scrolling down/up with single movement, NOT with the rotate movement on the smart Wheel then the selection will scroll continously untill it reaches the top or bottom.

I have'nt noticed it before because previously I have used the Rotate function on the smart Wheel instead.

Until HP fixes this minor bug (have you emailed them to let them know of its existance yet) I would just use the rotate function of the smart wheel when accessing the contacts from the phone app or the side Jog Wheel.

Hi all!
First let me say a big thanks to all the people posting their valuable feedback on this forum.
For the last couple of weeks I am also an owner of the 614c.

I really like the piece, but I must admit that I didn't get much time to play with it (I got a twin-SIM card and I mostly use my old phone).
POS:
All in one device (GPS is great - tried it with Destinator 7 and Pocket Navigator) - WiFi seems to work OK
Fast proccessor
Smart wheel

Battery life is h o r r i b l e - one day... even with this extremely limited usage that I have gone through....(thank God I kept my old phone too...)

BTW = have you people tried to install the new bootloader update listed on HP??<h1></h1>HP iPAQ 600 Series Business Navigator - Bootloader Update Using Rom Update Utility (RUU) for Power Source Monitoring
Type:BIOS Version: MP 1.01.00 (2 Apr 2008) Operating System(s): Microsoft Windows Mobile 6 File name: sp38905.exe (1.0 MB)

If yes, does it worth it? does it really help with the battery issue?


The second big put-off with HP is that they don't seem to respect their clients, especially when it come to localization/internalization. How can someone explain that a client living i.e. in Cyprus (where Greek is the main language), where HP has authorized big-names distributors etc, gets a phone/pda from them, that does not support input in Greek language??? Even xT9 website refers to a database of more than 20 languages... Before getting the phone, I was assured by the local distributor that I will be able to choose the input language and among the available languages will be Greek.
Guess what? I only get to choose English/Spanish/Italian....!!!
According to HP Asset Viewer:
My ROM Version is MP-1.00.01 and the product ID: FA992AA#ABB - also the " Country ID" is listed as ABB

Can someone advise on steps for changing the input language (for xT9)? I have tried the MoDaCo/Paul's set of languages "MoDaCo_Vox_eT9_Language_Pack" , it was installed fine, but when I tried to choose Greek (and any other languages besides the three above) it wouldn't accept it...
I am hesitant to ask about Greek input by the HW keyboard, since I might get the "wait for XDA-DEV" stuff... Any help though will be appreciated.

It seems that people who want to use other-than-English input languages, may need to wait for XDA-DEV or similar forums/people who might put their time into developing modified ROM versions etc... In the meantime, HP just sits there and collects our valuable Euros...



Apologies for the long post.

Cheers
