I was wondering if anyone has had problems with their Infrared port on thier wizard. I have not been able to get mine working since the stock Cingular rom. Are their any .cab files or other drivers that may get this thing to work again or some diagnostics program? I'm running modified 2.24.10.1. ext 2.25.11.102 Tried a search but came up empty. I kind of miss being able to beam and sync via infrared.

Im not sure if its a problem with your IRDA, I have a feeling that the new activesync does not sync over IR.

Thanks Herman. I think I did hear about some removed features or problems with the new activesync. But my wizard will not beam or receive beams either. It really didn't bother me unitil I wanted to try the new Novii software and realize that my Infrared stoped working sometime ago. Any suggestions?

Could it possibly be a hardware malfunction? I seems unlikely to me because of the few glitches this device reportedly had, IRDA wasn't one of them. Man I really hope its not a hardware problem.

it could very well be the hardware that's broken, i can't really image a way to test it properly so you know. Waht i do know if the device is within guarantee just send it back you get a new one:)

My IrDA works fine as well. ActiveSync 4.xx works with IrDA as well. The only problem I have is new laptops don't come with IrDA any more. However, they do come with Bluetooth and I use BT to do ActiveSync. No need to line up the ports and I can sync up to 30 feet away.

I suppose I could send it back in, I just did not want to go throught the trouble of locking it back up and putting the stock rom back on it. I know for a fact that it was working at one point because lined the port up with my laptop and it started to load wm modem drivers for some reason. Also it may very well be my ir port on my laptop because I cannot access my wireless link icon. Everytime I click it it does nothing. I forgot I had an old T-Mobile MDA collecting dust, so I'll try to beam to it.

Aaaah we.ll i had the idea you would have allready tried it on more then one device. Try send data(vcard, picture) by ir to a random phone that has an ir port and of course try reveiving something.
Good luck!

My mda worked perfectly, with my laptop that is. Could not sent or receive anything with the 8125. My last and final attempt will be a downgrade to to the stock rom, which is the last time I remember it working.
