Roel from the leading Dutch Pocket PC site PocketPC-club.nl found some peculiar behavior in his iPAQ 3800. When placed in the carholder on the dashboard of his car, the iPAQ would slow to a crawl if the sun was shining on the iPAQ. Placing the iPAQ in the shade would speed things up again. After some deduction by the other forum members, they found that the IR receive was causing this behavior. By standard on the Pocket PC 2002 the Pocket PC is looking for incoming IR beams. Switching off the auto reception ( Start | Settings | Connections | Beam | deselect "Receive all incoming beams and select discoverable mode" ) stopped this behavior. Did any of you experience this? On other devices as well?
