2 big problems with IPaq... since March, desperate for help

[edehoyos]

I have 2 big problems with an IPaq H1910:

1)Excel is so basic and lame. I need to view graphs and drawings, so as to be able to iterate in order to work with all my excel files from work. Is there a patch to enhance my excel in order to do this?

2)It is very often that my H1910 gets out of battery and looses all information. Yesterday, for example, I closed it with 56% of energy remaining... and turned it on today morning, just to find it without energy and completely reseted. I bought an SD card, but I have to format this machine every time this happens. Lately I have been going to settings to turn off all activities, without good results. Any idea on how to solve it?

Thanks beforehand,
Henri

Be sure to charge everytime the battery goes below 60%.
Adjust your settings in power to turn the backlight off after 1 min and turn device off after 5 or so.

Some people complain of their devices turning on for no reason. If the settings adjust doesnt work then you can get around it all by diabling the auto shut off feature in power. Then going to windows media player and designation a button to screen toggle. Make sure you set the device to "un-map buttons during background play. This will alow you to turn your device screen off and condeve your batteries.
