Hello,
I have axim x50 with Mobile 5.0(installed couple days ago). I have couple issues:
Active sync on pocket pc opens in memory by itself which then slowes down the pocket. If I click in the switcher close all programs then after some time active sync will open by it self. How can I stop it from doing that?

second issue is that I think mobile 5.0 is working slower then 2003, would upgrades and patches fix that problem ??
Thanks
Mike

There are several tips and tricks in this thread at Aximsite;

And if you wish, you can roll back to WM2003SE any time using this utility from Dell;

From the link you gave to aximsite I found these steps :
1) Start up AS on your x50.
2) Tap the menu tab/soft key and tap "Add Server Source"
3) Configure a server source with a dummy IP address, user id, password and domain name; these do not have to be real
4) Once configured you should have another sync source show up on your main AS screen...continue on.
5) Tap the menu soft key again and you should see that the sync schedule option is no longer greyed out.
6) Change your schedule from a timed automatic start of AS to manual under both fields
7) If you try to sync now, AS will try to contact your imaginary exchange server and that will take forever until it times out, so you can now delete the exchange server from your list of sync sources. Your changes to the sync schedule will remain and will survive soft resets too.

Now in step #2 I dont have option Add Server Source.
The options I have are:
Options
Schedule
Status
Configure Server
Connections
Connections via IR
Connections via Bluetooth

I look at each one and neither one of them has add source server.

Also, my ROM version is A01 but i'm running wm 5.0 is there an upgrade for that too ?
Thanks
