Okay so I ordered a Pocket PC last week - the HP iPAQ hx2110.
I was so excited to see it in the mail today.
Everything looked awesome, the few games were really simple yet entertaining, and I liked how it had "Pocket Word" and "Pocket Excel".
I only bought it for £1 plus shipping. The reason I bought it was the fact that it had an irDA port that I wanted to use for my ID Ls. Cause you know, playing two games and buying out the shops can get pretty tiresome.
First hoop I had to jump through was getting the iD L Download Collection onto my device. The PDA is ten years old, pfft, so it doesn't have built-in WiFi. It had Bluetooth, though, so I tried to connect it to my Mom's Kindle Fire.
Now I don't get Bluetooth. You pair your devices, so what? In most cases you can't even send a file to your paired device until you get into a frustrated rage and throw your mobile across the room. Then the bleep of the "file sent" sounds and you don't even know how it happened.
Well anyway. I downloaded an app for the kindle which allowed me to "share" files via Bluetooth. So on my Pocket PC thing I clicked on Bluetooth and selected the option to "Explore and view files on paired device", clicked on the Mom's Kindle shortcut and voila, I was inside my Mom's files.
Fun! I'd already downloaded the downloads on my mom's file, so with a few clicks I downloaded some games onto my PDA.
After that I quickly fetched my iD L and excitedly connected it to my PDA.
So far so good, I simply sent the jpg file via Windows' "Beam" technology, and it recognised "TMGC" straight away.
The device said "pending" for quite some time, and although my tamagotchi's heart icons were red, the connection seemed to be on some sort of timer? and showed the blue fail icons.
So I tried again. This time my PDA said "Tap to send" and then "Sending 1/1".
My tamagotchi's red hearts looked hopeful, but just as my PDA told me that it had "Sent", the tamagotchi's hearts went the grey-y blue fail again.
But that wasn't the last of my problems. Oh no.That wasn't the Final Problem. Sherlock ♥
Bluetooth then decided to play up. I got this message on my screen when I tried to view my mom's files again:
An error occurred while attempting Service Discovery. Make sure the device you are connected to is switched on and discoverable...
Well duh, Mom's kindle hadn't changed since I'd left it.
Tried again.
No luck.
Tried again.
No luck.
In a rage I hard-resetted it, didn't I?
Deleted all my iD L jpgs, and I had to set it up again.
So I tried to connect it to Mom's kindle, thinking that the restore would solve the problem.
But no. No luck. "An error occurred..."
I need some expert at bluetooth or just someone who wants to help or has experience with this kind of thing... Now every bluetooth device I try to connect with fails and I get the above error message. Whaaaaat? Is the IR connected? Have I just purchased a dud connectionless PDA?
Obviously it only cost me a small amount, but I was quite upset when I found that the sole purpose of buying this thing was now like null and void.
But anyway. Please tryyy to advise me!
