Yup I have upgraded to windows mobile 2003 se, but haven´t tried pocketHAL, should give it a shot. No I haven´t got any wlan card (or haven´t got it to work at least, some cf-card bought in japan, and the support aren´t really... In my language;)

Well the lockups come very frequently and they really seem like being some thread in the background taking over everything. I've tried to slow down the render-loop but it is still there. Thanks anyway for your help!

Are there any today screen plug-ins running? Could be that.

I might have been confused a little. Do you mean it "locks up" for a second or more, or does it "stutter" for a tenth of a second or so? I haven't run into it locking up, so I'm not sure if PHAL will help that. Also, it should only be 2003, not 2003SE. Dell never released a 2003SE upgrade for the X5s, AFAIK. The SE version allows you to switch the OS to landscape mode, so if you're running that somehow, it could be the cause of the problem.

Hmm it seems to be something else... I tried this which updates the screen at 10 fps.


if(scrTimer.getTime()>100)
{
render();
scrTimer.resetTimer();
update(UPDATE_TIME|UPDATE_SCREEN|UPDATE_INPUT);
}
else update(UPDATE_TIME|UPDATE_INPUT);

Oh boy.... Got it to work. Reason: bad backup battery Sorry to bother you. I guess I should have tried that earlier, but I didn´t think that would affect it.. Btw is it okay coding c++ on these little sweeties? I mean what is the overhead instead of coding in c?

There is no overhead in using C++ over C. Don't believe the FUD.

C++ can generate more instructions per statement. If you know what you are doing, that is a good thing. But these same statements have sementics that do not exist in C.

true Started coding c++. Seems to work just fine, the time critical code will be asm anyways .. Thanks for your replies!
