Windows Mobile 2003?

Questions and configuration information about the MiniStumbler software

Postby SourceHaXoR » Sat Aug 09, 2003 4:31 pm

Just to recap (no I didn't read all of the posts, in a hurry)


1. the 5550 is the exact same hardware as the 5455. EXACT same. The only difference is that the 5550 series comes with 2003 software installed and more ram (which CAN be unlocked on the 5455)

2. The 5550 has a prism chipset and therefore does NOT work with ministumbler... yet
go here for details

3. I think that is all...

You're saying the 5450s shipped with 128MB RAM but 64MB of it was "locked up" so as not to be accessible to the user in any way? :confused:

Hp5550 compared with HP5450

Postby indiekiduk » Sun Aug 10, 2003 3:23 am

Sorry SourceHaXoR but everything you've said is a load of cack.

HP5550 and 5450 have atmel wifi chipset. The drivers support NDIS, but the values for signal strength are vague(either 60,70 or 80!) The vendor specific OIDs support a more accurate scan.
Screen is different.
64mb on 5450, 128mb on 5550
5550 has the much improved XScale PXA255, with 200Mhz system bus, which vastly improves performance compared to the PXA250 with 100mhz in the 3900 and 5400 series.
Comes with the new battery (HP will gladly replace your 5450 battery when you notice its capacity is awful)

Sorry... I do stand corrected... it is the Atmel chipset, don't know what was stuck in my head.

As far as the screen is concerned. It is no better than the 5455. It IS the same screen.

The bus speed can be "unlocked" in the 5455. I have the app on my home pc, let me find the prog on the web and I will send a link.

The only reason I know this to be true is that I have both. I have the 5550 and my brother has the 5455.
have tested
tested
tested
and tested more after "unlocking" the memory and bus speed.

You *MUST* have 2003 os installed for the changes. Seems that HP made the ROM restrict the memore and all. 2003 software does not, but must be changed.

Well I have a 5550 and a 5450 right here, side by side, and I tell you the screens are different. When on 5550 has better contrast. When off 5450 is grey, 5550 is black.

What your talking about is not unlocking the system bus chip. You are talking about overclocking. Yes there are many apps available - pockethackmaster is one (http://www.pockethackmaster.com/). It allows you to overclock the 5450's pxa250 to 472Mhz and the system bus to 107(I think). Better performance at the expense of battery life. An xscale is designed to change speeds depending on usage, for maximum battery - all this app does is put the chip in turbo mode all the time. But the 5550 has the NEW 255 chip with the whopping 200MHz system bus (Intel were some what embarressed about the 250, everything runs slower that on the ARMs in the old pocket PCs). In fact in the case of Dell axims, the newly manufactured ones contain the new chip, but theres no way of knowing which yours has until you buy it. Obviously they dont want to be left with a pile of inferior ones. The new 5450 ROM upgrade adds support for "processor upgrade", however an upgrade is not so straighforward as swapping CPUs, other things have to be done.

So there you have it - different screen and different processor.

I stand very much corrected.

You are indeed correct.



Maybe I was just listening to what other people were saying and was also trying to show my 5455 is not inferior (payed a lot ya know)

Yes, post details! A LOT of 5450 owners would be interested in this.

could you post some pics, as you see, I had a 3970, 3870 for me and my finacee, then sold the 3870 to get the 5450 but I heard that the 5550 was coming out waited and waited untilI could not wait no more, so 5450 it was then a few weeks later 5550 was also in my hands and I could not put it back so I just sold my finacee's 3970, andhe now has the 5450, it would be nice to turn on the 128 in it orI mihgt just seel it and get her a 5550 so at least we have the same units.
