HotSync connection issue with Palm Treo 800w Sprint work around Solved !!!

I just switched from my Treo Palm Treo 755p to the The Palm Treo 800w. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why though everything was connected via USB. The Microsoft ActiveSync would work once or twice then nothing . Though I knew it was connected the charge wouldn't work either.
Here is my work around and it never fails.
If you see the Red light or Green light on your phone while connected Via the USB that means you are connected you can sync and charge.
If you don't see the red/green light on or see the phone in My computer > Mobile devices.
Plug your phone in via the USB. While it's plugged in take the battery out . Then put the battery back in. You know you are good when you see the red light or green light turn on. Red light means charging Green light means its fully charged.
I have connected every time using the take out the battery method and my Treo 800w charges / Microsoft syncs the works!!
Hope this helps I tried everything before I figured this out.

Did you install the 800W update that is available on the support page under downloads? There is a download for the charging issue and the USB connection issue.

Daylight Savings Time issue with Palm Treo 755p/Missing Sync 6.0.6

I'm not sure where the fault is, but here's what a user sees here:
User has a Palm Treo 755p with the 1.08 software installed.
Since DST on March 14th, when he syncs the iCal information to the phone using Missing Sync 6.0.6, the information on the phone is pushed ahead one hour.
But the odd thing about it is how it shows on the phone.
User created a repeating event from March 12-20 from 9-10 a.m. called "test 9" for an example of this.
On March 12 and 13, this shows as "test 9" -- at 9:00 on the Treo
From the 14th on, it shows as: "test 9 (9 am EST)" -- but it is entered at *10:00* a.m.
What I don't know is if this is a Missing Sync issue or a Palm OS issue.
User's computer is running 10.6.2 -- and both computer and Palm are in the Eastern time zone.
I'm open for suggestions here -- is this a *Palm* issue? Or something else?
Thanks!

We "fixed" this by noticing that -- for whatever reason -- Detroit (we're in Ann Arbor, actually) shows as "Eastern Standard Time" where it seems that every other major city in the time zone (Columbus, Indianapolis, New York, Miami, Philadelphia, etc...) shows as "Eastern Time".
So we set up iCal on this computer to use New York ("Eastern Time") and all the events added to iCal after that synced properly.
I tried to add "Detroit" to the Palm, but had no luck in syncing with that. I think the "Eastern Time" thing is key. I have a Bug Report into Apple about the fact that the time zone seems wrong for us.
That said, while I could change pre-existing events from "Eastern Standard Time" to "Eastern Time" in iCal, those events did *NOT* sync to the Palm correctly.
The user had to delete/readd the events in the right "time zone" to get them to sync correctly.
I'd be curious to know if this solution (?) works for you as well.

IMAP4/GMAIL Issue with Palm Treo 700wx

Since I got my phone in April I had no problem syncing up my GMAIL account. Over the past month or two however when I download a message to the phone and if I want to delete it, it won't be deleted off the server like it did before. So I have to go manually go into the website and into my GMAIL account and delete messages I don't want that way. Any idea what issue it could be?
Thanks

Hello sery5951 and welcome to the Palm forums.
Maybe your email account files on your Palm have become corrupted. Have you tried deleting your account on the Palm, performing a soft reset, and then recreating the account on the Treo? Once the account has been recreated, try the delete test again.

Can't send email treo 800w (sprint)

Hi: I can't send email using my treo 800w (sprint). I can successfully receive email using my university's incoming IMAP server, but not send email via their outgoing server.The treo responds "The message could not be sent. Check that your account informat is correct"
I've configured the outgoing server correctly, on the treo, per the universty's instruction page, http://www.ecs.umass.edu/index.pl?id=3716, and I have tried all permutations of outgoing server settings in the treo's email setup.
I can sucessfully receive and send email via these servers using Thunderbird on a PC.
Any help is appreciated. thanks.

Most servers reject remote connections to use their outgoing mail servers in order to control spammers.
You need to use Sprint's smtp server for outgoing mail.
This Palm KB article explains: http://portal.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/31747_en.html

Palm Treo 800w Error Synchronizing Work Email and ActiveSync screen problems

For some reason, yesterday my email stopped synchronizing. Anytime I hit the "send/receive", it looks like it's going through the process but I get an "error synchronizing" error. Normally it is on auto synch. My other email accounts work just fine. When I go into the "ActiveSync" through programs to delete the acct and start over, the activesych screen just disappears within a second of me opening it. I can't keep it open for me to make any edits or see if I can get a specific error message. Any thoughts? Not sure if Sprint can solve this or if I would have to go through Palm to troubleshoot??

If you need help, you can always go to a corporate Sprint service store. To find one near you, go to http://storelocator.sprint.com/StoreLocator/Searchform.aspx. Enter your zip code in the box and choose the radio button that says "Repair centers near me".
However, they are most likely going to just do what you can on your own to start with and that is a hard reset. A hard reset erases all data on the phone and returns it to the default factory settings. Backup any data that you need to keep and then go to http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchKB.asp?c=41108 for instructions on how to hard reset. Once you have reset your device, you will then need to reinstall any software that you added, restore your backed up data, etc. You might find the following link helpful when setting up your device again: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchKB.asp?c=40086.
Also, make sure to install the available patches on your device: http://kb.palm.com/SRVS/NUA/launchTab.asp?t=downloads&fn=treo&mn=800w&cn=sprint.

Palm treo 800w keeps syncing way too long

I have had three of these phones so far. It seems pop and exchange sync accts can be set up and work, then after about 2-3 months the phone goes crazy. It wants to exchange sync continuously. Totally eats the battery(even ext. life). All schedule parameters are set: tried sync manually -not work. sync every 1-2 hours-not work, etc. Tried to delete the exhange sync acct. and start over, but when hit email button, acct. picker shows the exchange acct., but the delete feature is grayed out. why?? So, opened activesync program exposed the sync option tree(which has microsoft exchange at the top, then cal, tasks, email, etc. listed under it), highlighted microsoft exchange, and got an option to delete, and deleted it there. Now exchange sync acct. is not listed on the phone. So, followed Palm's directions to add an EAS Outlook Account, manually put in all parameters, and the phone by itself starts to sync the folders, etc. Problem is it syncs and syncs and syncs, etc. showing tasks done, email done, contacts done, but when doing the calendar, it starts with some numbers like, 591/594(downloading) and it looks like it is working, but more fractions keep appearing going all the way up to 12,000 and it is still syncing(left it all night). What is going on here??? Thanks for input. I have gone through 3 phones in 8 months. I am fearing the 1 year is nearing and this phone will never be predictilbly functional. Thanks for this posting area, am at wits end.

Have you imposed a limit on your calendar sync, e.g., 3 months or 6 months?
(One of my favorite things about my old Treo 650 was the 4 years to calendar entries, so I could accurately answer questions like, "when was the last time we did X." However, the mixing of my work and personal calendars has made this impractical. )

Palm Treo 800W -- Ringtones too quiet! It's never as loud as the preview when selecting the ringtone...?

I have a Palm Treo 800W and I am required to keep it on vibrate the whole time because the sound of the vibrate is louder then the actual ringtone, even when I have the devices volume turned up to the max. When I go in to select a ringtone and preview it, it's very loud. Loud enough to be functional, but yet when I receive a phone call I can't hear my phone ringing since the ring tone is so quite.
I tried a soft reset because I thought that might be the problem but that still didn't fix the problem. Every other tone works fine, such as text message notification, or email notification, etc... but the ringtone for 'known' and 'unknown caller' is just too quite to be functional. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thank you

Don't know if comfortable with editing your registry... I found a RegEdit out there to modify your ring vol that works really well. A word of warning, if you are going to attempt: A>don't modify registry unless you are willing to live with consequences B>use 3 as your vol setting if you don't want to wear out your speaker or hear distorted sound.

Treo 800w (Sprint) Won't Get Past Windows Mobile Screen

I've tried everything I can think of, soft reset just gets me to the Windows Mobile screen, won't get past that. Battery has a full charge, at least according to the status light. Kind of dead in the water. Any ideas? Appreciate any help that's offered, thanks.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

Hello!
Hmmmm stuck on the load screen eh, stuck on the green screen? If the soft reset, taking the battery out for a few sec and back in, does not work then the hard reset is the next option. Unfortunately Windows Mobile does not have a safe mode like the ones found on PalmOS devices. Unfortunately the hard reset will erase all data but that would not be an issue if you have been syncing the phone or using Sprite Backup provided on the ROM.

Connection issues with Safari 3

I'm having some connection issues with Safari 3.
When I connect wirelessly, Safari won't load any web pages. I go and use Firefox and everything is just peachy.
I've reset Safari, emptied the cache and whatnot. I went in and checked the permissions, everything checks out.
When I connect with Ethernet, there's nothing wrong, which is my dilemma.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

There are a number of posts in the Leopard forum from people with direct experience with upgrading from Panther to Leopard. Here is a relevant thread from there that should reassure you.:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1418714
Your system should be fine for Leopard, but you will probably need a current version of Photoshop if you don't already have it. See this download:
http://www.adobe.com/support/products/pdfs/leopardsupport.pdf
Also, Leopard doesn't run Classic (OS 9) apps.
One caveat - first make a bootable backup "clone" of your present system onto an external firewire drive so you can recover if anything goes wrong. You can use the "Restore" tab of Disk Utility to make such a clone, and there are also Panther-compatible versions of Carbon Copy Cloner (v 2.3) and SuperDuper (v 2.1.4), both excellent for this.
It's even possible to a create second Panther clone on a different external volume to create a "dual-boot" system, using that volume to continue to run old applications that you can't run with Leopard.

Connection issues with EA4500

I had bad connection issues with my mobile device, so i pressed reset on my EA4500 router, and now when i connect to my network, it gives my limited connection even though i have 5 bars of signal. Not sure what to do now...

Resetting the router will erase all the settings you configured on the router since the initial setup. You manually configure the router's wireless settings so your wireless devices can have internet access again.

Make sure to use a computer that is hardwired via Ethernet cable to the router.

CR2008 connectivity issue with BOE Universes(sap and non sap universes)

Hi Experts !!
Recently we tried to build/connect to a Universe in Crystal Reports2008 via 'Make a new connection tab'.
The universes are of SAP BW or non SAP Lying in BOE Servers and we are trying to build reports on them by conncting/utilizing the universes as a database for Crystal Reporting.
Our issue is most of the time we are not able to connect to the Universes and the connectivity blows out by some 'communication Error' thing initially.
While at some other points in time, the connectivity takes us to the Universe and we are able to select few characteristics and key figures from the Universe but the moment we go futher and try to run by pressing 'OK' button it blows out and say' LOGON FAILED'.
Apparantly, it is an connectivity issue with BOE server and from the different blogs it looks like it is a known issue for long.
The proposed issue resolution were like either CR2008 should be SP2 with BOE SP3 or there should be some additional .dll files defined in the paths in case of MSSQL database. None of this applies to us as we are on CR2008 with SP3 and going back to SP2 is probably not a viable option for us, and we are using Oracle as underlying database in this specific case.( i would like to tell you here that we are able to connect to Oracle Database directly though).
We have raised a message with SAP and was just wondering if we do have some solution/workaround already available to this known issue in place please?
Thanks&Regards.

I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on my MacBook. Constantly dropping internet connection or message "error connecting to the network" comes up. No wireless connectivity issues with windows 7 laptop or iphone.

I have a MacBook with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. The last few weeks it has been constantly dropping internet connection, and one of these messages appear on the page: "Safari cannot open this page because the server where this page is located isn't responding" or "Safari cannot open this page because you are not connected to the internet" comes up. I will check Wifi and I am connected. No wifi connectivity issues with iphone or windows 7 laptop, this doesn't happen with either of those devices. I have unplugged and reset router, cleared cache, still happening. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

SFTP connection issue with Dreamweaver 2014

I have a very weird SFTP connection issue with Dreamweaver CC (2014). I am on a Mac running 10.9.4 and have no problem connecting to my server through SFTP with Dreamweaver CS 6. However, using the exact same settings on CC (2014), I get the following error: "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. Your login or password is incorrect. Please check your connection information".
I am truly at a loss here. Command line connection works without problems.
Any thoughts?

Hi there,
Try after rebooting your system or in a different user account on MAC.
Is there any limit with number of login sessions with your SFTP?
Could you check with Filezila or similar FTP client and connect to your site, see if you get any error there?
Thanks.
