Midp - palm.... HELP!

Got real excited last week about making some apps for my palm, so I started gathering the resources needed for developing. J2SE... J2ME... midp for palm (including jad jar prc converter)_
spent the last 3 days looking for this file.... midp4palm.zip
Seems that Sun is the only point of distribution for this file... ok, thats reasonable. The market I develop for would just go to Sun site for dl no problem.
Every last link found to this is broken...
J2ME downloads.... midp -> download : broken!
java.sun.com/products/midp4palm/index.html : broken!
Palm site : can no longer distribute message
ok, maybe in a few days I can find some russian ftp server temp directory someone forgot to delete and get it there, but what about the market I develop for? What would they do to install midp on their palm devices?
being new to java development, this is frustrating and alarming.
thanks for letting me vent...

Circumvention prevails!

Treo 680 Camera update released by Palm helps greatly with battery life

If you have not installed this update yet, it is HIGHLY recommended that you do so. It is located:
http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/treo/680cameraupdate.html
And is for *ALL* Treo 680 users.
Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Folks from Palm do monitor THESE forums especially, and there is a way that us moderators can bring things to their attention here now (unlike the older forums).
The problem here, as I see it (and yes, I have both my 700p and a 680) is that in order to make a thin, GSM phone to sell for $199, they used a smaller battery:
1800mAh(top) vs 1200mAh(bottom) battery, which translates into less battery life (33% with the basic same underlying functionality). And for folks that use the heck out of them (points to self) this will not be enough. So... I charge more often, and have a spare that I keep in the cradle, charged. And I do the meat of my email on the 700p (which also gets charged daily and on heavy email days twice a day; or plugged into the USB port, see tips below).
Palm has given tips on extending this as much as possible (turn off BT, minimal timeout, etc, etc) but basically its a tiny battery. Add to this fact that GSM radios tend to draw more power and UGH... bad battery life. Folks that use the heck out of a phone will not be happy (nor would they be happy if they were doing the same things on say, the new sexy tiny BLahzor or whatever its called, and yes.... That battery is even smaller).
I'd also like to note that Cingular (or any carrier) won't sell a product that didn't meet their minimum requirements, ie talk time, standby, etc.
There is a third party company making a larger battery, and I'd expect as battery technology gets better we'll see replacements that work even better. However I doubt you'll see a tiny battery on a used a lot device ever have "good" battery life.
One final set tips: get a HS cable when you're near your computer and plug in the phone... even a quick 30 min trickle charge will keep you going longer. Get a car charger, or an extra battery and cradle. If you are using Email, set the auto sync frequency longer than 5 mins: 15 mins vs 5 means that your radio is on up to 66% less with respect to data traffic.
To close, I'm sure if Palm discovers anything they can do to extend the battery life on the 680's, they will pass that along....

Help with sharing programs/calender between two palm centros (sprint)

My wife and I have identical new palm centros and we want to share contacts and calender throught the palm software. I have tried to name them both the same and the program recognizes 2 different phones so it wouldnt share...
is tere any way to share this with the two?
I am trying to do software also... games.. etc... medical software...
help...

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
This is very possible. The easiest way is to beam the programs using bluetooth. Once bluetooth is enabled on both devices, from the main Apps screen, click the upper left hand side of the screen and you should see some menus drop down. Click App then go to send. Select the program you want to transfer and click Send.
Depending on the size of the program you are trying to send will determine how long it will take.
I hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions.

Palm Pre Screen Cracked - Need Help

smkranz
I am a volunteer, and not an HP employee.
Palm OS ∙ webOS ∙ Android

This same problem just happened to me and
I had to jump through hoops to get anything done about it. It is a known issue and Palm themselves have told me this. My phone is now being sent away to get fixed at no charge to me. The number to call is 1-866-219-7445 (Palm Help Line) then go to Technical Support (2). Tell them the problem with the phone and they will give you a reference#. They then told me to go back to the Bell store that told me they couldn't do anything and give them the phone number along with the reference# and have them call us. Bell did this and then took my phone to get repaired. I told them that the customer service they have is absolutely terrible, making me do all this probably in hopes that I would just go away. Well guess what, I am still here and now you are going to fix it just as you should have in the first place. I hope this will get you somewhere so you can have your phone fixed!!!!

Please help me to get started!!!

hi, i am new to java MIDlet and I am not really having any luck to get it started. I am running the newest version of NetBeans IDE. I have downloaded some MIDlet code from the sun site. However, when I pasted it onto the NetBean, the line
import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
alone with the next few lines have a red underline and a x next to it. Am I misssing some libaries or setting the wrong class path? If so how can I fix this? But the thing is that it compiles and run under most of the emulators. However, when i set the defualt to the most important emulator that I needed, the Palm OS one, it gives me this message:
A descriptor must be specified for MIDP-Palm.
What does this means? Please I need to know what I need to do to fix this. Also where are the compiled .java files? I looked everywhere but they were no where to be found. I am new to this so I need step-by-step instructions on how to fix those problems. Please help this newbie to get started. Thank you in advance.

no one is willing to help? :( It is still not working.......

How can i change the language from spanish to english on a palm 750 that i just bought in spain?

hi
can anyone tell me if it is possible to change the language on a palm 750 from spanish to english? I just bought this phone in spain and can not use it well as everything is in spanish
please let me know how to change this if possible
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
For this device, you will need to perform a hard reset to be able to set the language. A hard reset will erase all data on the device and restore settings to factory default. You will want to make sure you back up your information to a computer (via Activesync) before performing this action.
To do a hard reset you will need to remove the battery. Press and hold the end call button (red key) while putting the battery back in the device. Continue holding the end call key until the loading bar at the bottom of the screen completes. Once you see the loading bar disappear, release the end call button and you will be prompted on the screen, Erase all data? Y or N? Press up on your 5 way navigator to confirm this.
Once the device boots up you will be prompted for what language you want. I hope this helps!

Palm i705 with windows vista

I have Windows Vista and am trying to install palm software..used the original CD soon to discover it doesn't support Vista..I went online and downloaded the Vista Palm software, but said it could not install it over the original software..cannot get the original software to uninstall via add remove programs..gives me an error...How do I uninstall this old software..what exactly do I need as far as new software, and does this sync through USB..if not and Bluetooth is required, does the I705 even have bluetooth capability...
Does this work with the I705?
thanks

This may be tricky but first I need to know a little bit more information. On you desktop computer right click the "Computer" icon located on your desktop and go to "Properties." From there you should see either 32 bit or 64 bit listed, which do you see?

SMS doesn't work with T-Mobile CZ and Palm Pre

Hi, there is my problem:
I bought Palm Pre from Germany. Everything works fine, but there is problem with sending messages. I tried to ask in Czech forums, PreCentral or my Carrier and no answer solved this problem. So I'm asking the core of the problem, Palm Developers.
There are some guides to get or change some carrier settings, but without any documentations. I see in \usr\lib\luna\CarrierNetworkSettings.db3 and /var/luna/data/CarrierNetworkSettings.db3 for my carrier this row:
And IMHO the highlighted box should be in column smscNumber. I tried this to change, but nothing get worked.
I tried this phone with my friends SIM cards by Vodafone CZ and O2 CZ and everything worked alright. The problem is only wit combination with T-Mobile.
I also downloaded new ROM from palm.com/ROM and there are same values.
And to my carrier: There is not much info about setting up phones settings, but the highlighted number should be ok.
And of course the error message. There are screen shots:
So guys, what do you think about it? Where is the problem? How to solve it? Can someone help? Is there any other DB from where phone reads settings?
This question was solved.

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
Currently, we do not have T-Mobile listed as a compatible carrier for our webOS devices. I will still provide tips in resolving this issue but I just wanted to make you aware of this.
-Make sure the device is on the latest update. You may retrieve this data under the "Device Info" application. The most current update is webOS1.4.1.1.
-Make sure you have network connection.
-If the message extends past 70 characters you may have this issue. Also, if it includes misc. characters as well.
-Try restarting the device.
If the problem persists, we recommend contacting the wireless service provider for further assistance.
I'm sorry if this isn't much help but I hope you find resolution.

Palm Profile - LOST CONTACTS

I've already read one post on this topic but am wondering if anyone else has had any RECENT problems relating to this.
I recently got my third Palm Pre from Sprint Replacement (the other two had to be returned due to stupid AND common problems, powering down when I close or open the phone and battery not keeping a charge). After activating my phone and logging into my Palm Profile, only TWO (both Sprint help numbers) of my contacts from my Palm Profile transferred over to my new Pre. I've read an older (June) post on someone having an issue with this, is there anyone out there recently that has?
I've called Sprint about this problem and they transferred me to Palm. I've gone through round one with Palm help (saying I needed to update my phone to the most current WebOS, which I did--still no contacts). I'll be going through round two today once the help line opens up for the day.
I also should note that I got me second Palm Pre earlier in the week (Tuesday) and had NO problems with my Palm Profile keeping my contacts onto that phone. That was just 3 days ago. AND I had to reset my first Pre and logged into my Palm Profile on that and had no problems with my contacts.
Is the problem when people are on their 3rd/4th/5th Pre and logging into their profile?
Any help would be appreciated. And any idea how long of calling until I finally get my contacts back??
Thanks

It seems that I have hade a new profile created by Palm because I could not remember the original password when logging in. now I have all music and pics. but no contacts or events how can I get these back ???? Please help:smileysad:
Did you use google as your default the last time or Palm profile as the phone came when you bought it? If it was google, simply input your username and password for email, contact, calendar and everything on your google account should reflect on your Pre. If it was Palm profile before you lost data, I don;t think you will get it back. I am sorry to say this. You can try loggin in with a password you forgot, but I don't see a point for that.
Good luck.

Help with Syn calendar and contacts

I am having similar problems. Had my laptop rebuilt due to virus and ever since I installed the software my laptop and handheld will not sinc together. I do not get any error message and it appears to work by looking at the log. But when I open my handheld nothing updated. I am even using the cable option to simplify the transmission. I have tried reinstalling the software and doing a reset of the handheld and it still does not work.

Palm t/X unable to complete booting process .

Dear sirs, I am connecting my palm tx to the computer in order to charge it and /or when pressing the reset , palm logo (orange) shows with the black bar at the botton of the screen indicating the booting process, inmediately when the bar reach the opposite end it turns into the Palm powered screen , then the screen goes black and the process repeat itself, ALSO when the handheld is connected to the computer it is not recognized . (during that process I have pressed the synchro. and nothing happens) usually when this or other hardware is connected to this or other comp. I do hear a high pitch sound (bell) indicating recognition. I do not have another charging device in order to try. thanks in advance for your help .
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
The device will need to be fully booted for the computer to recognize it. I would make sure that the device is NOT connected to the computer during resets.
Once you ensure the device is disconnected from the sync cable try a 10 second soft reset. Just hold the reset button for approx 10 seconds then release it.
If the device is still having trouble booting you may want to do a hard reset to try to recover the device. A hard reset will erase everything on the device and restore settings back to default. For further information and instructions on hard resets please visit kb.palm.com and look up article number 42094 in the solution id search field.
I hope this helps and let me know if have any other questions.

Palm Hotsync conflicts with XP SP3?

My Palm Hotsync was working perfectly fine...until I updated my Windows XP with Service Pack 3. Now when I try to sync, I get an error message saying that the connection could not be made. Occassionally, if I re-download the Hotsync, that will let me sync once, but then I run into the same problem. I'm loathe to uninstall SP3 since that has a lot of security stuff in it, but nothing else seems to be working...
...I've done the soft reset and the system reset, and followed every step in the Palm help section. I've also chatted with a Palm rep who couldn't seem to find the problem either.
So, has anyone else had this problem? Was it SP3 or something else? How did you resolve it?
Thanks...

I have a Treo 680 and I spent about an hour on the phone at my computer with tech support from Palm trying to resolve this and when it
was all said and done I still can not get my calendar and contacts to sync. Tech support told me that I have a corrupted database and that
there is problems with the SP3 and the hot sync manager. They told me they were working on it but couldn't give a timeframe for when
it would be fixed. I can not remove SP3 from my computer. I have enough issues already with security without adding to it. Palm needs
to fix this problem right away.

UPGRADING TO PALM TX QUESTIONS

My company currentely uses serveral old Palms SPT1800 Palm OS v4.1 we use them for our company shows that we have through out the Country to scan our item barcodes and take orders and have them printed out so our customers have a copy of there order. We would like to upgrade to something faster like the Palm TX. With these old Palms we use the Infrared Reader on our printers HP 4050's. We use a third party software called ALO. My question is this will it process much faster, does it come equipted with the BarCode scanner and do we need to purchase newer printers with bluetooth technology?
Thanks
Ed
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
I'll be glad to answer your questions for you. The Palm TX does support Infared (IR) technology. I don't think it will be much faster or anything seeing how IR is a slow method of transferring data or connected devices. It may be a more updated version of IR but I don't think it will be that much faster. This kind of answers another question you had; you won't have to upgrade to bluetooth printers. If you do however, the TX does support Bluetooth and Bluetooth is faster than IR.
The Palm TX unfortunately does not have a barcode scanner on them. You can probably purchase a 3rd party add on for it but this cannot be supported by Palm. If you have any questions about bar code scanners for Palm devices you will want to seek 3rd party assistance.
I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. The Palm TX is a great device by the way, I'm sure you guys would love it.
