Homehub 3 and Palm OS on TX

Hi,
I'm new to BT, after many happy years with the main cable competitor and so far my experience has been relatively good, except for 1 thing . . .
I recently received a Homehub 3 and successfully managed to connect;
my XP PC,
my Work's XP Laptop
my Son's Win7 laptop & Wii
and  my Blackberry
all wirelessly
There's just one thing bugging me. . . No matter what I try I can't get my Palm TX to connect.
I know the answer is to scrap it and buy an iPad2, but I'm quite fond of my Palm and it fits a need so if anybody has any good tricks to try, I'd appreciate any suggestions.
My current setup is;
Homehub 3
- Wireless = b/g/n
- Security =  WPA and WPA2
- SSID = factory set & not disabled
Palm TX
- Only supports wireless A or B
- Only support WEP or WPA-PSK
So, based on my limited knowledge I think I should be able to connect using wireless B & WPA-PSK, but when I scan for signals on my Palm, I can't even see the Hub, although I can see someone else's Netgear router and a BTFON & BTOpenzone signal ( which I think are mine ).
Thanks for any help,
Andy

Hi,
First thing to try...as you've pointed out...is to change the security from the default WPA/WPA2 to WPA only.....if that doesnt resolve it you may have to change the wireless setting to b/g only as well.
You may have to reconfigure some of the other machines.

  • Question regarding homehub and Open reach router -...

    Hi all,
      I had infinity installed earlier this month and am happy with it so far. I do have a few questions regarding the service and hardware though.
      I run both my BT openreach router and BT Home hub from the same power socket. The problem is, if I turn the plug on so both the Homehub and Openreach Router start up at the same time, the home hub will never get an Internet connection from the router. To solve this I have to turn the BT home hub on first and leave it for a minute, then start the router up and it all works fine. I'm just curious if this is the norm or do I have some faulty hardware?
      Secondly, I appreciate the estimated speed BT quote isn't always accurate, I was quoted 49mbits down but received 38mbits down - Which I was happy with. Recently though it has dropped to 30. I am worried this might continue to drop over time. and as of present I am 20mbits down on the estimate . For the record 30mbits is actually fine and probably more than I would ever need. If I could boost it some how though I would be interested to hear from you.
    Thanks, .

    Just a clarification: the two boxes are the HomeHub (router, black) and the modem (white).  The HomeHub has its own power switch, the modem doesn't.
    There is something wrong if the HomeHub needs to be turned on before the modem.  As others have said, in general best to leave the modem on all the time.  You should be able to connect them up in any order, or together.  (For example, I recently tripped the mains cutout, and when I restored power the modem and HomeHub went on together and everything was ok).
    Check if the router can connect/disconnect from the broadband using the web interface.  Leaving the modem and HomeHub on all the time, go to http://192.168.1.254/ on a browser on a connected computer, and see whether the Connect/Disconnect button works.

  • Could I upgrade software in Palm III and Palm V?

    As the topic says, can I update firmware in Palm III and Palm V?
    Could a Palm III update package be beamed to Palm III from Palm V?
    If Palm V can be updated, plz post a link to an update pack and a short explanation how-to-update (if the forum rules don't ban posting links to update packs, of course)

    If the information is in iTunes on the computer you have synced with in the past another sync, being sure you select the items you want on the iphone, should copy those things back to the iPhone.

  • Can DRM protected document be read in Pocket PC and Palm ?

    Hi,
    For Pocket PC and Palm, Adobe Reader have some special
    version (2.0) for these platform.
    Are these Adobe Reader compatible with the DRM mechanism
    of Adobe Policy Server (APS) and Document Security Server (DSS) ?
    (I guess it maybe work if Asynchronous or WI-FI could be applied)
    Could anybody give some suggestion about this?
    Thank you very much.
    Regards
    Joseph

    Unfortunately the version of the handheld products we have today do not support the Policy Server. I have passed your comments onto the Product Manager for future consideration.

  • Synching Zire 31 with both Outlook 2003 and Palm Desktop

    I use Outlook at work but not at home so I synch my Zire 31 with Palm Desktop at home.  It works fine synching with both.  I like the Memos and Tasks features better on Palm Desktop, so I would like to use them at work. I'd like my Zire to Synch at work with Outlook for some features (i.e. Contacts and Calendar) but with Palm Desktop for others (i.e. Memos and Tasks). 
    When I use the setup CD, it asks if I want to synch with "Palm Desktop" or with "Outlook and Palm Desktop".  Based on this, it sounds like I should be able to choose the 2nd one and synch with Outlook and Palm Desktop, but I can't get it to do that.  When I choose that option and then go into Custom for synch setup, the only options there are for Outlook.  How can I get it use Palm for Memos and Tasks?
    Post relates to: Zire 31

    Hi..  Welcome to the Palm forums.  What it is asking is, for Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Memos do you want them to sync with palm desktop OR outlook?   Its all four or nothing.  When it is both what it means is if you sync with outlook, calendar, contacts, tasks and memos will sync to outlook all others, media, all your settings etc will go to palm desktop.  The main 4 can NOT be seperated its all or nothing.

  • ISync and Palm : difficult

    Hello,
    There are 2 pbs :
    * there is no way to have the palm icon being displayed in the isync front windows
    * when the sync is started directly from the palm, it does not sync properly the phone number : as there is no more any way to reinitialise the palm with the data from the computer (as isync can't access the palm), it syncs in the 2 directions. Then the data from the palm generate a resynchro for 250 phone numbers (the home phone are ste as work phone in address book) out of my 560 contacts.
    I have accepted once these modifications, then changed all the numbers in adress book to set them back as home phone... But on the next sync, it asks me again to resynchro the 250 numbers, as if it was syncing only from the palm, and not taking in account the adress bokk modifications...
    I have already tried the followings :
    * destroying the palm sotware and reinstal it
    * destroing the "app support" for isync and palm
    * destroyng the pref for isync and palm
    I have tried to reinstrall isync, but the 2.3 version seems not available on apple site... (only 1.5, an 2.1 on another site)
    Context :
    I have re-used my palm after may be 1 year without any use.
    I was then in a previous version of OSX on the last sync 1 year ago (I have read things about first isync and 10.4.6... Too late ! )
    I have a Palm zire 31

    There is no easy way to do this. You must manually reconfigure the conduits each time you want to move from one environment to the other. [But, see the note of caution at the end of this message.] Also, reinstalling the Palm Desktop after iSync is installed and configured can create problems, so if you want to move from one evironment to other, do this:
    Locate the active Conduits and Disabled Conduits folders, here:
    Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:Palm HotSync
    To activate the Palm Desktop, move this conduit to the Disabled Conduits folder:
    • Apple [that's the Finder name of the iSync Palm Conduit]
    To activate the Palm Desktop, move ONLY these conduits to the active Conduits folder:
    • Calendar Conduit
    • Contacts Conduit
    • Memos Conduit*
    • Tasks Conduit
    The analagous but outmoded Address, Datebook, Memo and ToDo conduits should remain in the Disabled Conduits if they are present at all in your configuration.
    *If activated, the Memos conduit will synchronize memos with the Palm Desktop. iSync has no memo function, and the older Memo [singular] conduit should always remain inactive if present.
    To reverse the process, do just the opposite to restore iSync and deactivate the Palm Desktop. As explained above, however, leave the Memos conduit active if you wish to synchronize memos at all.
    A word of warning: the SyncServices framework is complex, and subject to sudden and unexplained data errors due to corruption of actual data or the handlers which push and pull it to and from the truth database. Every time you act in a manner which increases this complexity—such as moving back and forth from one synchronization environment to another—you greatly increase the likelihood that you will corrupt your data, and you place your synchronization scheme at greater risk of failure.

  • What do early adapters think about the Pre (and Palm in general) now?

    So, CES 2010 has come and keynotes have been made.  For those of us who have been though the early days when EAS Pin lock wasn't supported, running into application install limits, finding peace within Preware, Fair Dinkum and File Coaster today couldn't come fast enough.
    As I race though the streets in "Need For Speed: Underground" on my Pre (my very first purchased application), I actually feel that Palm may indeed be back in the running.  Is it too little, too late?  I don't know.  All I know is that for the first time in the last five months, I don't feel like swapping out my Pre for an Android device, I don't feel like the iPhone is completely immovable from it's perch and I sure as heck won't feel odd about showing anyone (especially iPhone owners) the games I have installed!
    It's still early but what I've seen so far I like.  I'm actually excited to see what more can be accomplished with WebOS and Palm.
    Any other thoughts from my fellow early adapters (not-so-early adapters are welcome to comment as well!)?

    Very excited in what Palm has accomplished in so short a time. I've remained much more positive than you seem to have become prior to CES, but I'm definitely as excited after. Maybe more so.

  • ICal and Palm TX no longer syncing properly in 10.4.7

    I have a Palm TX and have always been able to update the calendar on my Palm with the events in my iCal. Now it claims that the sync was successful, but not a thing has changed on either device. I doesn't matter what I choose in the conduit settings, they simply won't update each other, despite the fact that both devices say they did. I've tried resets on the Palm and such, but no luck. And there is absolutely no useful information on the Palm site. Even when you try to get Mac info, you are often directed to Windows articles and such. Everything worked until I updated to 10.4.7. Anyone familiar with this?

    So I'm not the only one!!!
    I have the exact same problem. I have a new MacBook, iPod, and Palm TX. I set them all up (using Missing Sync for the TX, and iTunes for the pod), and everything worked like a champ until one day I opened iCal and discovered it had dumped everything (ALL calendars), so I recreated the calendars & events (didn't have a backup yet), and since then, both Missing Sync and iTunes both show the old (now non-existent) calendars to sync -- not any of my new calendars are avaliable in either program's menu to sync.
    I too have emailed MarkSpace (no answer yet) thinking it was originally a Missing Sync issue, but then discovered that iTunes was doing the same thing, so the problem must be in iCal? My updated Address Book contacts sync on both the TX and the iPod like a champ, so the issue must be with iCal I guess...
    Glad to hea I'm not the only one who's run into this; thanks in advance for any ideas!

  • Reinstall WinXP and Palm Desktop - Don't Want to Lose Data ??

    Hi - searched for this in the forum, but didn't find any answers to my particular situation.  Just need to make absolutely certain I don't lose anything.
    Had to perform a format/reinstall of XP in December.  All up-to-date with service packs, etc.
    Now need to reinstall all my Palm stuff.
    I have all the files from my pre-format stored in a massive hard drive backup on a separate drive.
    My Centro is up-to-date as of December right before re-install; I have added some additional contacts/appts in the Centro since then.
    I have added some other data in Outlook 2003.
    Now, after I install the Palm desktop:
    How would I perform my first hot-sync?
    How do I get all my programs etc. back?  They are on the Centro right now - I don't want to lose them.  Some don't need to sync with computer and some do.  I can't afford to lose the data in these programs.  Will syncing with the phone (overwriting the desktop) allow my programs to stay the way they are on the Centro right now?
    Do I need to do something with the backup I made?  Is it even useful?
    Thanks in advance, and let me know if I'm not making sense.

    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Hello!
    Fresh reinstall of Windows and Palm Desktop?  If so then all you need to do is plug the cable into the phone and hit the black button.  Palm Desktop will prompt create new user, just hit yes and your all set!  The hotsync process auto does a handheld overwrite sync style for this inital process.  If you already created the username in Palm Desktop that is the same as the Centro and have not yet hotsynced, rename that user to whatever and then do that sync.

  • Isync nokia 6620 and palm tungsten T2 with OS 10.4

    I use isync to synchronize iCal and Contacts to these 3 devices via bluetooth, but when I create a new appointment on my Palm, it is synced with my computer but not with my phone. The appointment is only put on my phone's calendar the next time I run iSync. This seems to be the only problem--creating appointments in any of the other directions flawlessly syncs across all three devices. Also, creating or editing a contact on any of the three devices also syncs fine. Does anyone know if this problem can be resolved?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    What you perceive as a problem is actually a feature - a consequence of shifting synchronization of all servers, applications and devices to the SyncService framework. Now, iTunes is configured to interact with the truth database maintained by SyncServices to synchronize iPods, .Mac Sync handles a similar interaction to synchronize with .Mac, and iSync is relegated to handling mobile handsets and Palm handheld organizers and smartphones.
    In the same manner, applications like iCal and the Address Book interact with the SyncServices framework, as do many third-party applications like MySync, the Missing Sync for Palm OS, DayLite, and others.
    If your mobile handset is not connected via Bluetooth or USB, or iSync is not running when you initiate a synchronization event using the HotSync icon, or the button on your cable or cradle, then your device will not be synchronized until it is 'attached' and iSync is launched. This update occurs because the SyncServices engine is aware that the device exists and was not available during the prior event. As soon as becomes available, the update takes place.
    If you want your mobile handset to be simultaneously synchronized when you synchronize your Palm device, then you must do two things:
    • 'attach' it via Bluetooth or USB, and
    • launch iSync prior to initiating the HotSync

  • PALM DESKTOP VERSION 6.2.2 DOESN'T WORK, AND PALM ISN'T GOING TO FIX IT!

    Palm Desktop version 6.2.2 won't archive records. I have been trying to make it work for 3 months.
    I finally was able to talk to someone in Tier 3 support at corporate headquarters and they told me there will be no updates for the software.
    THE BOTTOM LINE IS THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX IT!
    They have essentially abandoned support for anything but the Pre, which I was going to buy, BUT DEFINITELY WILL NOT NOW.
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Palm Desktop 6.2 is not owned by Palm. It is now owned by a company called Access, any updates to the software will be done directly through them not Palm.
    You are using a Verizon Centro on a Windows XP machine, essentially you can use Palm desktop 4.2 or lower and get features back that you are missing (including the archiving records issue).
    Now the Verizon Centro does ship with palm desktop 6.2, but the Sprint Cento and devices such as the Treo 680 and Palm Tx ship with Palm desktop 4.2. If you have a copy of that you can uninstall palm desktop 6.2 and then reinstall 4.2 and be able to sync to that version just fine.
    If you can't get a copy of that version then you can download palm desktop 4.1.4e from palm's website and also get the features.
    Now with that being said. Palm is not dropping all support for everything but the Pre. Support is going to still continue for palm devices that are current (eg Centro, Treo 680 etc).

  • WIN7 and Palm TX--Tried what you suggested but am stuck again.

    I've read and tried everything suggested and am still getting an error message.
    System: Laptop with WIN 7 64-bit and Palm TX.
    Palm software NOT installed on laptop.
    Today, installed Bluetooth 2.1 dongle; created three virtual ports.
    In WIN, Bluetooth Configuration, HotSynch is set to automatically use Com4.
    Discovery: Laptop has discovered Palm. Palm does not say that it cannot find the laptop (as it used to), so I presume that it can.
    Problem: In Palm, after tapping HotSynch, and waiting, I receive a message that "another application is using the port" (Com4). Tested Com5 and Com6, with same result.
    Thanks for any help that you can give.

  • Mac OS 10.4.6 Update and Palm Hand Held Issues

    Recently I installed the Mac OS 10.4.6 update after confirming that it should improve some minor issues with "Hot Synching".
    Previously I could "Hot Synch" with my Palm Mac Desk Top software 4.2.1 and also with my PC with no issues.
    I noticed now I can "Hot Sync" on my Mac--with no issues. However, when I take the Palm out of the USB Cradel and try to access the Palm Display page with the featured icons, I get a very unusual error:
    "Application can not be launched because it is missing localization info file xxx--enUS.prc."
    I checked the Palm site and entered the error message and the response was returned that indicated "several applications with the Palm Tungsten T require overlay files to run properly. "Dialer, SMS, & WAP Browser" require and overlay "prc" file that determines which language he application displays on the device. If this "prc" file is missing, it will cause this message to be displayed."
    I was instructed to install the "xxx_enUS.prc" using the Palm Install tool.
    I installed all of the "xxx_enUS.prc" files on Disk 2 and have performed a "Hot Sync" again. A successful "Hot Synch" was performed.
    The above message is still displayed on the Palm screen even after that successful "Hot Synch".
    I can not use any of the screen icons to select any of the features or vprograms on the Palm.
    The face buttons can be depressed but the selection from the Palm hand held icons with the stylus can not be accessed as the "missing localization info, ect" is displayed.
    I have performed soft resets to no avail.
    I still can not get this issues resolved.
    Anyone out there have any suggestions.

    I don't use the synch. option. However, my RSS feeds are updating without problem after the update. If I remember correctly, the RSS feed update was affected by synching through .Mac? Is that true?
    What method did you use to update your system. As a rule, I use the combo update. If you used the incremental method, I suggest using the combo update. Remember to repair permissions via Disk Utility after the update.

  • Hot Synch problems with cradle and Palm Vx

    I had to hard boot my Palm Vx for digitizing errors.  Now I can't get the pda and Hot Synch Manager to work.
    How do I set up the pda so if talks to the Palm 414EN.exe desktop download.  I have the old cradle attached
    to a serial port on my work PC.
    Thanks,

    Post relates to: Palm Vx

    Hello Jay and welcome to the Palm forums.
     The trick is that once you have installed Palm Desktop 4.1.4, in the HotSync Manager, you use the Setup... menu item to configure HotSync Manager to listen to the COM/serial port your cradle is connected to.  I had my Vx configured to use COM1 on my Windows 2000 box.
     Also, make sure that your Windows user account is a member of the Windows administrators security group before you attempt to install Palm Desktop.
    Hope that helps,

  • Windows 7 pro x64 and palm centro

     I'm running windows 7 pro X64 and the software installed just fine, but not the driver.  Does Palm have any plans for a solution?  Are there any third party drivers that will solve my problem without having to install a bluetooth device on my pc?  
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Hello rpiquette, Welcome to the Palm Support Community!
    Palm has moved away from their legacy operating system (PalmOS) and on to a new one called webOS.  Since Palm Inc. doesn't even own their own software anymore (Palm Desktop) I'd seriously doubt any further support will be forthcoming for Win7, especially for 64-bit architecture. 
    Palm Inc. has historically not divulged any "future plans" for software (or hardware).   Will a third-party develop a desktop client?  I have no idea at this point, but the opportunity certainly exists!
