Ipaq 6515 Problems!!!

[Futki]

hi there...I have an ipaq 6515 and I have some problems.
I'll start with the problem of voice. It doesnt play any music or any sound only when someone calls me I just hear them but they can't hear me..
The second problem is with the camera. when I try to take a photo it just block the hp logo. nothing more..

The problem with the camera and the music came when I installed TomTom software.. I don't have idea what it's going one... So if anyone know something, please helpppp!!!!
Thanx in advance....

The first thing to try would be to uninstall Tom-Tom and see if it works again. If not, then try a hard reset to see if it will clear the problem. The hard reset will clear out any data so you will need to do a backup of your contacts, calendar, and any other stuff you want to keep. If the hard reset clears the problem then you should start reinstalling you programs one at a time and checking the unit between each install.

Not sure about the camera problem but I had a similar problem with sould after installing TT6. The fix was :
- Connect your 6515 to your PC and start Activesync
- Using your PC search for the following files on your 6515
- BtCoreIf.dll rename to BtCoreIf.dll.old
- BtSdkCE30.dll to BtSdkCE30.dll.old
- Do a soft reset
You should have sound back now.
Hope this helps.

I had exactly the same problem with the sound on my 6515. The problem was the speaker itself. I had to use a bluetooth headset until it eventually completely passed away.

As far as your camera issue is concerned. I suggest you hart reset your 6515. That may also fix your sound.

It may very well be dead. In fact it probably is. You need to try to put your phone into bootloader mode. You'll have to search the forums to find out how. If you can get it into the bootloader can just plug it in to your comp and update. Don't give up. Try hard to do it and you might just be able to. Good luck and let me know how it goes.

Hi guys,
I am new in this forum and I am an old owner of this device. It seems that some of you have had the same problem with the sound. Sometimes, this problems comes with Tomtom 6 but another times the problem is the device itself. Take care using the 2.5 mm sound jack. If you use it, you can find that after unplugging it, the speaker does not work. In my case, the problem was that this jack uses to get jammed. Solution: to dismantle the pda. Even doing this, you will need a dose of luck because the jack is welded to the main-board, so to unlock it is not something very trivial. I tried with a pin, moving all the mechanisms inside the jack and I did it. This happened two times till today, the first time it was not necessary to dismantle the pda, I tried moving the components of the jack from "its natural" access and I was lucky, the second time I needed to open the device. If you decide to open the device, you will need to free the 5 screws (one is under the warranty seal) of the back side. Then to open it slowly starting with the top. Take care with the vibration engine, it is linked to the back cover and the cables that connect it with the mainboard are very thin.
Hope this will help and sorry for my English :p!

HI. Thanx for the help, but I already solved the problem with the camera and voice. I upgraded the rom from the hp.com. Now it works fine.

There is something else I would ask. After I upgraded the rom, I had installed the Tomtom navigator.When I connected to the internet it downloaded one free map, which I don't use it. I downloaded the map For Eastern Europe but Tomtom doesn't recognize it. Any help????

First thing: You need to select the map. Open TomTom and change your preferences. There you will find the option.
Second thing: You can not place a map in your MiniSD (at least my 6515 do not looks for a map there, I do not know if this problem is related with my ROM version), you need to place the map in your SD card.

My problem with the sound is due to jack connections. I opened the PDA and noted that the plug for the jack has some wobbly connections, really badly designed and they have become not functional with the constant plugging and unplugging. There are two connections that are supposed to clsoe once the plug is out. i tried bending them a bit and testing with a Tester i showed no continuinty. I have simply but a spot of welding and given up for ever on putting hence a plug inside.
The sound has come back and it works! I hope it lasts
