I have TomTom installed on my Ipaq, which I only use in the car and store in the glove box. If the battery completely runs out on my Ipaq, when I plug it in all the installed programs have dissapeared. Is this normal?

yes, battery should last a min of a week. I get 2 weeks out of my battery without using it.

what would scooby do

Most IPAQ's go dead within a couple of days - even worse when yo have GPS jackets. Mine is powered permanently, either in the car or at home it its cradle..

This is the worst thing about IPAQ's [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I'm sorry but that is rubbish.

I can go on hols for 2 weeks and all my ipaqs (I've had 5 of them) will still have power after my hols.

All PocketPCs power on at midnight to check alarms etc, if you have a GPS jacket on then the ipaq will start trying to find a GPS server. So don't leave it plugged into jackets etc, lower the auto turn off time, turn auto brightness on, turn

We have around 20 - they all fail after a few days - even without GPS - must be a dodgy batch or something.

We have had no end of them given back to us, usually after the second time the battery dies and they have to re-install..

yup, sounds faulty. Worth logging a fault call
