Welcome!
I suggest that you take the battery out for a few minutes. After replacing it, turn on the Clip-On in a place with a good view of the sky - it's probably easier to this out of doors in Greec ... |

My BLB-2 has never given more than 5 hours, which is about what the original battery was down to when replaced. When new, the original battery would do 7 to 8 hours. |

I use my ClipOn primarily when walking. When I upgraded to the V2 firmware, it became unusable because the location would "stick" until I had walked for perhaps 2 minutes before relocating. I reflashe ... |

To my mind, a serious design flaw with the Clip-On is that the plastic component with the pin hole is the same colour as the component that is the power switch. This makes it difficult to believe that ... |

I reflashed my Clip-on to V2 but found it unusable for walking so reflashed it back to V1. The GPS behaviour is as it was before flashing to V2 but the middle light continues to work as it did under V ... |

How about trying alternative software on the iPAQ to talk to the Clip-On? You could then see if the problem is associated with Fugawi's handling of the BT link or some other component of the system. C ... |
