Guest touficjohn Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Hi. Was hoping someone could help me out on the following: - ActiveSync seems to load whenever it wants randomly. I dont use M$ exchange so I know its not that, but why the hell does it keep loading up. Also every time it does I get a message saying it cant assign an IP address within the network or something... Checked my ipsettings and their absolutely fine. - My battery doesnt seem to want to last very long... One day tops moderate usage. Screen brightness isnt too high... Any tips? - Has anyone bought a cradle for their VarioII? Thanks :rolleyes:

On the battery life have read of the extended_battery thread, but essentially switch off bluetooth, wi-fi AND IR. Excessive polling for email also seems to have a negative effect. You should easily get a day of moderate use, I can get two. Cradle wise - I've got one of the cheap circular ones off ebay - not sure what to say - it charges the phone, has a blue led and holds the phone at a nice angle... Richard
Guest touficjohn Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 (edited) Ive got BT, WIFI, and IR off nearly all the time... Though PO is set to check for new e-mails every hour.... hmm... Edited October 30, 2006 by touficjohn

Every hour shouldn't be a problem - I poll every 15 mins... Do you have anything else running that regularly searches for a 3G/GPRS connection?
Guest touficjohn Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 NewsBreak I think thats set at 15min... Will double check. While I'm here would anyone know how to sort contacts by first name? As opposed to last name?

As opposed to last name? You have to do it on PC Outlook then sync - AFAIK it can't be done on the device.

Kill the process, nothing obvious happens, but next time I check the running programs list there it is again.
Guest mandt Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 Yeah it's the same on the Wiard, AS always starting itself up. It really doesn't affect performance so I don't worry about it
Guest touficjohn Posted October 31, 2006 Report Posted October 31, 2006 Pisses me off slightly to tell you the truth... lol
