iPAQ 2210 Series Switched Off but SD Card Drains Battery

[Mearns]

I missed this when this HP Softpaq was originally issued in April but it was reissued on 15 June and since there are a lot of new names on the forums recently and at least of those on this forum - can't find the post now - found his 2210 battery flat in the morning having switched it off the night before with a full battery, I thought it worth posting this. Not a TomTom issue but it might find the greatest exposure here.

HP say that some Secure Digital (SD) and SD Input/Output (SDIO) cards continue to draw power from HP iPAQ Pocket PC h2200 series batteries, even after the iPAQ Pocket PC is turned off, because the SDIO pin signals continue to remain active.

When this issue occurs, the Pocket PC may lose data, depending upon the length of time the device remains off. The issue can occur even when the user fully charges the battery before turning off the device.

The above quote came from the HP site HERE and the Driver Update can be found on their site HERE

Apologies - finger trouble with the title and I can't edit it. It should of course read 2210 not 2220 models.
