I have a feeling the IR port on my J720 does not work but I am not sure. Is there an application out there that will give a visual or audible indication when IR activity is detected such as from a remote control or other IR device?
I have tried sending a business card from my Nokia 6310i to my J720 via IR and nothing was received on the handheld. Does this indicate that the IR port on my J720 is dead or could this be a protocol issue?
Having the IR lamp searching for connections would be a battery drain, so under CE as on the cell phone it will be off by default.
To receive a business card - so long as it is compatible you want to use the Contacts applciation and from the file menu tell it to "receive...".
with files from other H/PC's you do the same from the File menu in Windows CE Explorer.
an idea. might work or not:
soft reset and press the S button at once (after you pressed soft reset)!
then you'll go into HP diagnostics you can test the IR there. but: i'm not sure if it works, because for example it said my pcmcia slot failed in the test, however that is not true (luckily). worth a look anyway
You will probably not connect to internet but you will be able to see if there is some progres inside the dialer's window. If so, your IrDA probably works
If it works and you want to use GPRS, contact your mobile provider....
