Another browser for Palm Centro??

I am not that happy with the Palm Centro (with Sprint) browser. Blazer just does not seem that great. I tried OperaMini but it is lacking an IBM plugin (which apparently is not available anymore). Are there any other browsers that will work on Palm (Garnett OS)? Thanks in advance for help.

Does the above link, once unzipped, include the Documentation folder for the product? If so, it should have a ReadMe and User Guide that explain the installation requirements.
From the ReadMe:
To run the JVM on a device, HotSync all the ARM4T PRC files for your language.
And from the User Guide:
Follow these steps to install a runtime environment on your device:
Note: These instructions are for Windows XP/2000 only.
1. In the Start Menu, select Programs | Palm Desktop | Palm Quick Install
to launch the install program.
2. Select File | Add Files and browse to the directory where you installed
Java Technology for Palm OS Garnet. Then browse to \JVM\ARM4T.
3. Select J9JavaVMMidp20.prc and j9pref.prc* and click Open to add the
files to the Quick Install window.
*The j9pref.prc, which is the developer preferences panel, is
intended for use by software developers only. It is not intended for end
users. Also, it is not localized; it is available only in English.
4. Verify that your device is placed in the cradle correctly.
5. HotSync the device. If you are prompted for a user, select the correct user.
In my case, I installed J9JavaVMMidp20 and JavaVMCheck_enUS (the English program - several languages are available).
This seemed to work.
You will now have an "Other" listed in your Prefs screen on your Palm for the IBM Java Preferences. Click on this and ensure 'double buffering' is checked on and crank up both 'Set Memory Maximum' and 'Set Maximum Java Thread Stack Size'. Mine are set to 32 MB.
If you don't increase these settings from their original, Opera Mini will likely crash. A lot.
Hope this helps!

Windows7 support for Palm Centro & VZ Access Mgr

I have a Windows 7 based laptop and Palm Centro phone. Currently VZ Access Mgr only supports Windows XP. Will Windows 7 be supported? If so, what is the rough date for release?

External keyboard for Palm Centro

I've read a few reviews on Amazon on the Palm wireless keyboards (Palm 3245WW) saying they don't work as advertised and that Palm no longer makes them/supports them and was totally not helpful in resolving any of the issues. Does anyone know of an external keyboard that will work with the Centro? Or new drivers that resolve these problems? IR, Bluetooth, wired....I don't care. My wife has the phone and texts a lot and the phone keyboard is extremely painful for her to use for long periods of time.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
Everywhere you go, even here, you'll find people who have problems for one reason or another (user error, wrong driver, other third-party software incompatibilities, actual hardware issues) pairing the two devices. But that particular keyboard is compatible with the Centro. Searching on the Forums here will yield threads evidencing the fact that users have successfully paired the keyboard with their Centro.
Just realize that the Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard is no longer a current Palm model. Here is the device's support page where you can download the latest driver, etc.:

Widescreen Web Browser for Palm OS 4.1

Okay, I'm not stupid, but I am SOOOO not techie, and I have been going absolutely crazy trying to find what I need. I bought a Dana Wireless by AlphaSmart. It's basically a Palm Pilot that runs Palm OS 4.1, BUT - it's got a full keyboard and the monitor is 7 1/2 inches wide by 2 1/2 inches tall, which I LOVE. I am able to access the internet wirelessly, but the only browsers that I have found are not built for "full screen" mode. I have tried just about every single browser that is compatible, and none are configured to utilize the full screen. Dana Wireless originally created their own fullscreen web browser, but they discontinued it, and I have been unable to find it anywhere. I have also tried Opera Mini, which is supposed to operate in fullscreen, but apparently I can't get Java installed correctly on it. Can anyone help me? I'm wondering if I could get some help either getting Java to play nice with Opera (and be full screen), or if an existing browser can be reconfigured to utilize my whole screen. I really love this thing and want to make the most of it! Thanks for listening to me babble!

HotSync ID for Palm Centro.

I installed Astaware's Sudoku from the "My Centro" bonus software section. Sudoku is now telling me that to continue playing I must register the software using my Centro's HotSync ID. When I go into the HotSync manager, there is no ID listed at the top right of the screen. (As per instructions found on the internet.)
Where do I find my ID?
Thanks.

Hello HardBeatZ, thanks for the reply.
I don't think any of the applications provided with my phone work with the Linux OS, so I am unable to hotsync my phone with my computer. Is there a way to set the ID directly on the phone?
Thanks.

Alternative Browser for Safari?

On my laptop I have IE 5.2.3 which has been on the machine since I got it. I only use it when I run into those sites that don't work on Safari. On my imac IE was not provided so I downloaded Firefox 1.0.7 which again I only use on sites not compatible with Safari maybe 2 or 3 times a month at most.
I'm aware that there is a Firefox version 1.5 available and my question is whether I should bother downloading this or just stick with the original? Again I only need another browser for those occassional sites.
Thanks for any advice,
John

There are a lot of topics here that discuss which browser is the best one for OS X. My conclusion after using 90% of them and in reading other people's comments is that there is no clear winner. There are almost a dozen very good to excellent browsers for OS X and most of them have users who insist that the one they are using is the best.
There is one clear looser: IE/Mac. Microsoft abandoned development 3 years ago, they ended support at the end of last month, and they will end distribution at the end of this month. It is way behind the times in features.
This topic does not really have much discussion, but I provide a couple links to topics which do have fuller debate.
You can get a sense from the discussions of which browsers you might like to try. My suggestion is to try one for a while, then try another for a while. You can keep the ones you like and you can delete the others. Also, with OS X you can have multiple browsers open at the same time, so you can have two different browsers open so you can go to the same sites in each to compare them. I often have five or six browsers open at once when I am testing web sites.
The major browsers are Camino, Firefox, Opera, OmniWeb, iCab, and Mozilla. Note that Mozilla and its cousin Netscape are both Internet suites that include email, a web-page editor, IRC client, and News reader. Unless you need the full suite, you do not need these programs. Also, Firefox is not a native Cocoa app, so it does not take full advantage of OS X, but many people still use it as their default browser.
Finally, many people keep at least two browsers on hand for times when a web site will work in one and not the other.

On the Centro, go to Hotsync and press the icon in the middle of the screen.
Click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.

There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.
There are cables available on-line that are the correct sync cable. Just do a Google search for the hotsync cable for Palm Centro.

Retail sources for new Palm Centro (Verizon?)

I recently lost my Palm Centro (Verizon), and would like to replace it with another Palm Centro. Unfortunately, it no longer seems to be avaiable from either Palm or Verizon. Does anyone know of a retail (not eBay) source for the Palm Centro (Verizon) that is not excessive in price (i.e., over $100?). I am hoping to locate a new one. Thanks.

You are looking for a discontinued model, so your sources are pretty much limited to after-market places such as eBay. I doubt very much that you will find any new ones at any traditional retail outlets.

Centro 5 (garnet) and new iMac OS 10.5.6 Can I use my Mac as an internet connection for Palm?

I have a Palm Centro through Sprint. I have cable internet via SBC Global (ATT). I also have a wireless internet network in my home. I run a Mac with OS 10.5.6. I would like to be able to get to the internet on my palm via the bluetooth in my Mac, or I'd even like to get to the internet on my palm via the Mac by connecting to it via USB.
Obviously, I'm clueless. I've spent many hours researching this and it seems most people are trying to use their phone as a modem, but I don't think that's what I want to do since both my Mac and my Centro have bluetooth capability. I do not want to get a $25 data plan through sprint when I am only accessing while inside my home where my internet capability already is. I'm not trying to use my phone for internet access. So, I'm not looking for "Wi-Fi" per se. Mostly I want to be able to download applications directly to my phone instead of needing to download first to my mac, then install to my phone. Also, I'd like to access my googlemaps page from home.
My husband has a brand new itouch ipod which he was able to EASILY access our wireless internet through his laptop PC. Meanwhile, I'm running in circles. I can't figure out why a smart phone would prevent me from accessing my wireless internet.
Help....Please?

Need a method for importing Palm III data into a Palm Centro

I just bought a Palm Centro (Verizon), with the expectation of importing data from my old Palm III. From the Palm III Desktop, I exported Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos into separate folders (this was done on a Windows XP PC) and copied the resulting folders & files onto a flash drive. But when I try to import these files into the Palm Centro desktop (on a new Mac Pro with OSX), the backup files are not in a "recognized format." Does anyone have a process for reliably getting the Palm III data into the Palm Centro? Also, is there an easy way to purge unwanted Contacts/Calendar events from the Palm Centro handheld? With all the trial and error, its accumulating a lot of garbage. Thanks...

Click on the following link for the upgrade guide on kb.palm.com

You will need to hard reset the Centro in order to clear out the Centro before sync'ing. Click on the following link for the hard reset procedure.
