Internet performance on Palm TX not so good

I love my Palm TX for so many things, and email is great, but I find performance with the web/internet sites disappointing.
Slow response, screens that don't "paint" well...it's just generally frustrating. Is there something I can do to enhance overall internet performance?
Thanks. Hank

Just bought new Palm and not sure how to set it up best to sync

I just bought a new Palm TX. The manual says to connect the sync cable to palm and to computer usb port and connect a/c adapter to palm and an outlet and charge for 3 hrs which I'm getting ready to do. Before I start setting up my whole system I to am trying to determine a couple of things first.
Based on all forums I've read today, I want to use the missing sync with ical and address book rather than palm desktop. I also plan to sync using bluetooth rather than usb. (My goal plan is to use this set up to digitally implement kgtd - so the categories issue is key for me).
Thus I wonder, is there any reason to insert the palm desktop software cd and/or install isync palm conduit. It seems missing sync 5.x replaces isync palm conduit and installation of the missing sync will remove the isync palm conduit anyway.
Is there anything I will possibly miss with palm functionalities if I don't use that CD first and then switch to missing sync? Are there any pros or cons to loading isync palm conduit and Palm hotsync software and then switching almost immediately to missing synch with ical and address book. I guess what I'm wondering is, are there anything from the CD that I need or downloads or updates that I initially need to get that I can't get without new palm software installed initially rather than only having the missing sync installed.
On the other hand, are there benefits in immediately installing missing sync and not bothering with mucking things up with the new isync palm conduit and palm hotsync being on my system.
I seem to have isync 2.3 automatically from 10.4.8. I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9 given the many problems that seem to be reported from the upgrade regarding syncing and I have very little in ical or address book as of yet and an old palm desktop 4.2.1 that I haaven't used in over a year. I am not interested at this point in transfering anything from the old palm desktop (not so much there either and none of it current) although would be interested in (unless told it could cause other problems for me or be in any way suboptimal) keeping it as a sort of archive.
Also, why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use bluetooth? Any pros or cons in doing/ not doing this - both using bluetooth and connecting the USB cable during the initial charge?
Any guidance on some or all of these things would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Great questions, and we'll attack them one at a time.
Q: '…is there any reason to insert the Palm Desktop software CD and install the iSync Palm Conduit?'
A: Actually, yes - there is. Mark/Space very strongly recommends that you perform one last synchronization event with the Address Book and iCal using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit prior to installing and configuring the Missing Sync. It is therefore necessary that you synchronize using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit at least once prior to your initial use of the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit require that the HotSync Manager and Transport Monitor—components of the Palm Desktop—be installed in order for iSync to launch, supervise and terminate a synchronization session with a Palm device.
Q: '… are there benefits in immediately installing the Missing Sync and not bothering with… …the new iSync Palm Conduit and Palm HotSync…'
A: No. It is critical that you overwrite the contents of your Palm device with data from the Address Book and iCal during the first synchronization event with the Missing Sync for Palm OS. Absolutely critical. Users who skip this required step always end up with synchronization problems later. In order to do that, you have to have first equalized the contents of the Address Book and iCal with the contents of your Palm device. Otherwise, you'll be overwriting the device with empty record sets. The easiest way to equalize them is to synchronize at least once using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit. Because the iSync Palm Conduit does not support categories, all field labels and extended attributes supported by both the Missing Sync for Palm OS and your device, you'll have some record cleanup tasks to perform as a result. But, don't skip that initial device overwrite requirement, or you'll put your data at serious risk and only spend much more time later on cleaning up the resulting mess.
Q: 'I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9…'
A: Don't be, though it makes little difference if you apply update before initiating the iSync synchronization, or afterward. You indicated that you have an old copy of Palm Desktop installed which you haven't used for more than a year. If that copy is not as recent as the once bundled on your CD-ROM, then install the CD-ROM copy. If they are the same version, or are different versions but neither are Palm Desktop 4.2.1 revision D, then download and install that package before configuring and using iSync. The package is available here:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html
If you aren't sure, then install this downloadable package, as it can only improve and not damage your currently installed Palm Desktop configuration.
Q: '…why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use Bluetooth?'
You don't, although your device can obviously only charge with a USB-powered cable or cradle, or an AC adapter-powered cradle. I recommend that you initially configure it to synchronize via USB with both iSync and then with the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and then pair it using Bluetooth and synchronize using that pathway if you wish. Remember two things: while Bluetooth may be more convenient, USB moves substantially greater data in a shorter period of time—important during slow, initial synchronization events—and, the Missing Sync for Palm OS also supports network synchronization with your T|X, using it's WiFi capability. Initially using USB, later reconfiguring for Bluetooth and then for WiFi gives you literally one-button choices when using the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
In summary, you ought to…
• update the Palm Desktop suite to 4.2.1 revision D using the downloadable package
• add your device to iSync via USB using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the iSync Devices menu
• be sure to change the label of any contact address you want synchronized to <home>, as iSync ignores addresses not labeled that way
• merge the data in the Address Book and iCal with your Palm Device
• back up the Address Book data using the Back up Address Book… option in that application
• back up your iCal data using the Back up Database… option in that application
• install and configure the Missing Sync for Palm OS
• set your three Mark/Space conduits initially to overwrite your handheld with data from your computer
• synchronize initially via USB and include the TimeCopy conduit in this effort
• follow the Bluetooth wizard instructions in the Missing Sync to pair your device and add the Bluetooth option
• follow the network wizard instructions enable WiFi synchronization
• create sets of conduits appropriate for your workflow, and associate them with an interface: USB, Bluetooth or network
• correct your handheld data to reflect address data field label changes, calendar and contact categories, and so on
• synchronize again via any chose interface to propagate the corrected data

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?

Thank you

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

The Official OS X Annoyance Thread: Slow Internet Performances

Hi!
It seems that there's a lot of people with poor internet performance out there. I'm surely not alone. And we already crawled every **** google page about it. I tried EVERY solution. The 4.2.2.1 trick, opendns, a lot of different stuff and nothing worked. Nothing!
But it seems that my case is the worst: I'm not limited to 500kb/s. I'm limited to something like 5kb/s!!!
I just have to boot on windows XP and I can fully use my connection. Every computer in the house is running fine so it is NOT the router. (The router is using openDNS as well).
So I would like to ask you people, to try to find a solution <Edited by Moderator>. Because it is a real pain the the *!
I have a Macbook (Early 2006). With the latest updates. So it should not be a problem... Please do something, it's been over a month since I began trying every tip that has been given to me on forums.
Thanks a lot for your help!

Does the router have the very latest firmware? Many routers work well with Tiger and earlier versions of Leopard and PCs, but not with the latest versions of Leopard unless they have the latest firmware updates.

Performance issues while accessing the Confirm/Goods Services' transaction

Hello
We are using SRM 4.0 , through Enterprise Portal 7.0.
Many of our users are crippled by Performance issues when accessing the Confirm/Goods Services tab( Transaction bbpcf02).
The system simply clocks and would never show the screen.
This problem occurs for some users all the time, and some users for some time.
It's not related to the User's machine as others are able to access it fast using the same machine.
It is also not dependent on the data size (i.e.no . of confirmations created by the user).
We would like to know why only some users are suffering more pronouncedly, and why is this transaction generally slower than all others.
Any directions for finding the Probable cause will be highly rewarded.
Thanks
Kedar

Hi Kedar,
Please go through the following OSS Notes:
Note 610805 - Performance problems in goods receipt
Note 885409 - BBPCF02: The search for confirmation and roles is slow
Note 1258830 - BBPCF02: Display/Process confirmation response time is slow
Thanks,
Pradeep

DCN performance -- 2.8 seconds get notification, good or bad?

I did tests on hundreds of transactions, ave is 2.8 seconds, any comments?
p.s. DCN stands for Database Change Notification

thanks for responding.
(1) for settings
I'm not sure the settings. Because in the mean time while I was testing DCN, I tested AQ too. I found the performance of AQ is not good as well, then I asked our DBA to change some settings, e.g. "_job_queue_interval". But our DBA says we are not supposed to change settings for tunning AQ, it's done automatically by Oracle ( we are using 10.2g )
(2) Transaction performance
I did not test the speed of transaction. Actually, I do transactions one by one with a gap of 1 second.
(3) I use different applications to do the changing and getting notification, in changing app, I record a timestamp to DB, in the recipient app, I use a established connection to record a timestamp to DB too, by comparing the two timestamp, I get the gap.
It's a LAN environment.

Increase internet speed when DNS and ISP are good

How do you increase your internet performance when?
1. Your ISP is great. I have Verizon blast.
2. download and upload are not bad
3. You do not want to be attached to ethernet cord.
4. namebench says your current DNS servers are the "fastest".
5. I have a hunch I could do more to combate the "noise" coming from the other people in my apartment complex. I have tried changing channels from default but it doesn't seem to make to large of a difference because some of their routers seem to randomly picl channels, sometimes the ones I'm on.
So here is the challange:
How do you increase your internet performance when? Are there settings you can use within Airport utility? Thanks.

The best way to find where the problem is without using test gear is by the process of elimination.
Test you LAN using LAN Speedtest. First test using Ethernet connections and see if you can get speeds of 90+ Mbps. Much higher is possible if the equipment you are testing with has gigabyte capability at both ends.
If you can't 90+ on your LAN there is a problem with your LAN setup that needs to be addressed.
Then you can test speeds on your LAN using WiFi.
Using Speedtest introduces to many additional variables making it very difficult to diagnose throughput problems.
Once you know that your LAN is up to standard then you can point at Verizon.

Internet broken on one OS, not the other

A few weeks ago, I was trying to fix some bug that was causing my main operating system (Mountain Lion) on my MacBook Pro (early 2011) to constantly create virtual memory, killing my battery at tremendous rates, eating up my hard drive and destroying my computer's performance. I spent forever trying to fix the stupid problem, and found somewhere that deleting certain .plist files (but not these specific apple ones) would fix the problem.
It fixed the problem! No more slow computer!
And then my internet stopped working. But only on that operating system, Mountain Lion. I have another operating system partitioned off, Snow Leopard, that I use for legacy software, and it works perfectly fine still.
A week ago I upgraded Mountain Lion to a developer version of Maverick (no comments), since Mountain Lion was screwed anyways without internet and I thought, why not? Maverick works great, and I thought the update might fix the internet, but it [I]still doesn't work.[/I]
I've deleted all my network connections, deleted all network plists and recreated everything from scratch. The connection is great, I have a local IP address—it just won't connect to any websites!
Google.com would actually work for a while and allow me to search things. Weirdest thing. It stopped working though.
Again, my Snow Leopard is getting internet fine. That's what I'm on now.
I've searched the web up and down for this specific problem and I can't find anything on it. So I finally gave up on trying to fix it myself, and here I am.
Help me please?

Have you tried trashing /Library/Preverences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist ?
In some instances renaming the folder /Library/Preverences/SystemConfiguration and adding .old on the end and rebooting the mac will refresh all of the Network Interfaces and Power Management settings enough to resolve networking issues.
Have you tried to connect to a different network? Is the issue the same on all Networks? Does Ethernet work?
Are you able to use Network Utility to Ping any site? Are you able to Ping an i/p address on the internet?

E3200 - Not as good as 2 years old router

I have Dlink DIR-655 router for last years 2 and bought this with the hope this must be better and turned out it is not as good and not worth the money -- the wireless signal is stronger on my old Dlink in next room that is about 25 feet away comparing side by side. I cannot make the USB port to recognize my USB external hard drive (with its own power) where it is not a problem with my DLink router. I am not sure why such a high price for this. Bummer.

First of all please verify that you have got a 802.11n card in your computer. New generation routers (i.e. E3200) speaks an entirely different language with 802.11g cards, so while those adapters can work with the E3200, but they are not optimized to provide good performance. It is like having to translate from one language to another in real time when going from N to G.
Second, make sure the adapter driver is up to date.
Also, if you are getting dropping connection over the wireless connection, then that can be improved by changing the wireless channel on your linksys E3200. In order to change the wireless channel, follow the steps:
1. Connect to your router's admin interface. Usually 192.168.1.1. The default username is blank,default password is "admin" (without the quotes).
2. Click on the Wireless tab and do the following changes.
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161..
3. Click on Save settings.
The E3200 router comes with the latest Cisco Connect software which allows you to add external storage, printers, and other devices that you can access and share within your network through its USB port. To know how to install your external storage device here is the link: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=5630150583c340deafe6525de656ee96_Setting_Up_the_Li...

Poor Internet performance (ping, download, and upload) even wired directly to modem

I recently purchased a new iMac running OSX 10.8, and have been noticing exteremely poor internet performance compared to what I am used to with our internet connection. Running speedtests, I typically get results as follows:
Ping: 500-2500ms
Download: 2-3Mbps
Upload: 0.05-0.1Mbps
There more or less reflect the way web browsing feel. It takes forever for clicks to take effect, but content loading on pages is reasonable for most lightweight pages. As a comparison, running the same test on my Win 7 Dell laptop, I get more or less the advertised limits of my internet package:
Ping: 20-80ms
Download: 18-15Mbps
Upload: 0.4-0.6Mbps
To troubleshoot the issue, I wanted to ensure it was not the wireless connection or the router, so I disconnected the router and run an ethernet cord directly from the iMac to the router, and I got the same results. I then disconnected the router entirely and ran the cord directly to the cable modem, and again got the same results. Questioning whether it was an issue with the browser, I downloaded Chrome and again ran the test, only to get the same results.
Now I feel stuck. I know there is no issue with the cable modem or the connection coming to our home, but have no idea how to improve the performance of the computer. I would appreciate some tricks or tips to try and improve the performance on either a wired ethernet connection, or ideally on wireless.
Thanks in advance.

Internet Performance Hit Using BitTorrent with a Linksys Router

I have a LinkSys WRT54G V2.2. I noticed when I'm using a Bit Torrent client with about 6 incoming and 6 outgoing connections that my internet performance goes down significantly. During this time I would be using about 150KB per second downstream and about 30KB per sec upstream. I know I have plenty of downstream bandwidth available but it appears that the router is choking on all the simultaneous connections being used by the Bit Torrent client.
Using the speed tests provided by www.dslreports.com I test my connection before using Bit Torrent and have about 600KB per sec downstream and about 60KB per sec upstream. After running the Bit Torrent client with about a half dozen connections incoming and out going using only 150KB downstream and 30KB upstream the speed test shows that I only have about 50KB downstream throughput and only about 6KB upstream throughput. It doesn't make sense that only that small amount of bandwidth is available when I'm not even using nearly that much.
I also tried the same test with a couple large downloads via HTTP, and my bandwidth shows the performance hit that I expect taking into account the actual bandwidth that I'm using.
Can anyone shed some light on what is going on here.

If you're utilizing BitTorrent I assume you're using Azureus or a similar client for your connections? Either way, by nature, BitTorrent files are transmitted via multiple connections over a wide span of users. Even if you arn't downloading your full bandwidth's worth, your client is continuously scanning for more connections to increase the speed at which your transfers are running. The numbers may add up to much less than your bandwidth, but there's quite a lot of background work that those clients are doing and not listing for you in a display. Even if that utilizes half of your bandwidth, 1/2 is quite a bit. I have the same issue, and have resulted in just using my torrents while I sleep or am at work.
