Newly unlocked Palm Treo 680 (AT&T) can't update to 1.12???

I just successfully unlocked my literraly new never been used Palm Treo 680 for AT&T with software still TREO680-1.03-ATT, firmware R01.31. I'm trying to run this "Treo680_1_12_ROW_desktopupdater.exe" but consistently getting this screen, "Unsupported Device: Important...This updater only works with Palm Treo smart phone with $Carrier$ service."

Hello!
Cause the phone has been unlocked does not mean that u use the updater for the unbranded devices. The updaters is not based on the subsidation status but the build of the phone. Since you're using a ATT Treo 680, the appropriate/only update avail for your phone is the 2.11 updater found here:
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/treo/680/att/solutions/article/10580_en.html
As long as the phone was unlocked through official methods, then their is no worries for the phone to be locked again since that is pernament.

Can i really update my unlocked palm treo 680?

According to the link below, that's the software update for palm treo 680 unlocked, but the instruccion says that if i go to Phone-Menu-Options-Phone-Info-Software, and it says Treo680-1.03-CNG or Treo680-1.03-ATT, the software is not compatible with my device. The thing is that the software says Treo680-1.03-CNG, but it's unlocked. So, is the software update compatible with my treo or not?

Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

If you have the Treo680-1.03-CNG rom in your Treo, it is an AT&T branded Treo that was unlocked. It is not a true unlocked Treo. For an unlocked Treo that is unlocked from the factory, it will have a software version of XXX-ROW. ROW means Rest Of World.
For your Treo, you need the AT&T update. You can find it here;
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/10580_en.html
The only caveat here is that once you upgrade the software, you will need to have the Treo unlocked again. There are sites on the internet that offer this service or if you had the Treo unlocked before, contact the company that unlocked the Treo for you.

Connect your device via usb cable to your computer do not hot sync. Start Ptunes and wait until they connect. You will get a list of things you can do on your computer. It self explanatory from there. You must sync the 2 devices in WMP or what ever player you have on your computer.
As for the ringtones there are several thread explaning what you want to do try this one around page 13,14 or 15 it will explain how to do it without an sd card. http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=video_and_photo&thread.id=4395
Ps the thread is says its about Centros but it will work the same on your 680

Synchronizing Palm Treo 680 Unlocked with Outlook 2003 on Windows 7

After 2 full install and reinstall of Palm 6.2 I cannot synch my Outlook 2003 and Palm Treo 680
Hotsynch Journal says everything has synchronized correctly but new meetings and task changes in one platform do not appear on other platform.
There is an error mentioned for file PmTrcae Database (Protocol error 4004)
I must mention that Installation process seems to drop after announcing that first hotsynch will be performed, it never does, I had to start it manually from the Treo.
Will there be a proper Windows 7 version published?

I downloaded v.6 onto my new Windows 7 computer. When I try to hot sync, I get a window stating that the driver is missing and I cannot find a driver on your site or on windows to download. I don't think Outlook is involved here; I don't use it.
Are you running a 64bit version of Win7?
As reported many, many times in this forum, there are no USB drivers for this version.

Can anyone help me with an unlocked Cingular treo 680??

Hi there,... help!
I have an unlocked Cingular treo 680 - I live in Australia (bought it in L.A) - and I'm now trying to access the web using my data plan.
I'm with the Three network, and they connect to the web using a proxy server, Cingular only support GPRS and Edge, so everytime I go to connect i get an error message saying "no gprs available, check network settings" - but I have configured my proxy settings correctly...am I missing something?
My treo had an automatic port (80) for the proxy settings.. but three have different incoming and outgoing port numbers,
Between the whole lot I'm a bit confused.
I'm just wondering if there is any way I can override those default cingular settings so my data plan will work.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated....any way I can get rid of all this annoying cingular crap?!
Thanks!!

You can't. (to my knowledge) That phone has a ROM that was designed to work on the Cingular/AT&T network. You can unlock it but it's still an AT&T device and somethings can't be removed. I think an unlocked (natively unlocked) treo might be what you need.

After Hotsynching a Palm Treo 680, its Hotsynch stuck in loop, lock ups, etc.

Hello,
My father is having problem with his Palm Treo 680 (unlocked). Before the incident, he Hotsynched between his Treo and his Dell Optiplex machine (Windows 2000 SP4 with all updates; USB connection).
The PDA went stuck in a Hotsynch screen on the PDA even if it is disconnected and hard resetted (battery removal since there is no hole). Eventually, the issue stopped (don't know what he did). However, there are still random lock ups and the looping Hotsynch again (no specific times and patterns). Also removing the extra memory cards didn't help either. Also, he reported that his phone didsn't ring either from incoming calls.
Does anyone know what's going on? Is the PDA dying since he uses it daily all almost all day when he is awake? His warranty expired already, he said. It seems like a lot of people had problems from my Google searches.
FYI if it helps, the Hotsynch logs BEFORE the problems (he didn't install anything new -- only data changes and updates): http://pastebin.ca/678475
Thank you in advance.

Palm Treo 680's Chinese and English datas + HotSync + Mac OS X?

Hello!
I am wondering if it is safe to get an Apple MacBook Pro for a client
who uses a Palm Treo 680 with English and Chinese datas (with CJKOS --
http://www.dyts.com/en/cjkos.html ). Currently, he uses his Windows
2000 SP4 on his old Dell Optiplex PC and Hotsync (via USB) his datas.
It has MS IME and TwinBridge to read and write Chinese characters.
Is he going to have any problems if he were to buy a new MacBook Pro
with the latest Mac OS X? I read that he will need a third party
softwares (Missing Sync for Palm v6.0 --
http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php [not free] and Palm
Encoding Setup -- http://lokiware.info/Palm-Encoding-Setup ). I was
told that using Palm Desktop is messy and complex. Also, is it safe to
mix both PC and Mac to share Palm datas? All these third parties and
fancy setups seems complex for a guy who doesn't know computers well.
Thank you in advance.

I have no experience with using a handheld with chinese character sets, but mac osx will natively support a range of chinese and japanese character sets. The best place to go is contact apple and check the correct sets are supported.
As for how messy etc palm desktop is, some people love it and others can't stand it. Personally I don't mind it but for people who have the same set of contacts they sync with isync and palm desktop I can see it getting very annoying even with missing sync (which I don't have). I'd recommend you find someone with a mac and actually have a go with it before you make any definite decisions you could regret.

Palm treo 680 Problems with hotmail account

I have a palm treo 680, have Problems with hotmail account, dont have configuration in versamail and when enter with the browser dont open documents, photos or videos. Thanks
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

IIRC, Hotmail is like Yahoo's free email - you have to pay for POP access.
If you aren't paying for a premium version of HotMail, it won't work correctly with VersaMail.

If you hit the BLACK button between the letters A, S and Z and then hit the letter S you will get a dash sign, then all you have to do is hit the ALT next to the letters N, M and drop down menu button. From there you can select all the character that you want including the underscore sign.

If the file is in .WMA then did you get it off your harddrive or directly from a CD. Basically my question is how did you obtain the music that you have now on your Palm?
Also what player or what version of the player do you have on your 680?
Pocket Tunes Basic $19.95
Pocket Tunes Basic provides playback of MP3, WAV, and Ogg Vorbis files, including background playback so you can play music while you use other applications, customizable skins, full playlist capabilities, album art, a graphic equalizer, and much more!

Ical, Missing Sync and Palm Treo 680

Most of 2007 was spent trying to get my Palm Lifedrive to Sync with iCal using Missing Sync version 5 thru 6. One day it was fine six days it was not. Nothing I have found to be more infuriating and frustrating as trying to sync my Palm with my Computer.
So, with the arrival of Leopard and the much promised improvements to Sync Services I decided to perform a Clean Install of Leopard on my Powerbook, and run just a few apps on my Powerbook leaving the rest on my new Mini Mac. At the same time I decided to upgrade my Palm Lifedrive to a Palm Treo 680. So, New OS, New Palm, Leopard ready Missing Sync.
1st Sync was spot on. All my data downloaded from .Mac for iCal and AB, sync'ed wonderfully with my Palm Treo. That was on January 7th. Since then iCal absolutely refuses to refresh. And already I am beginning to feel that 2008 and Syncing will be as frustrating as 2007.
Why cannot MarkSpace sit down with Apple and iron out all the crap. For the last couple of days I though I would see if iCal was not communicating with SyncServices by using Entourage. But this only synced with AB and did not touch iCal. To do this I had to use iSync and during the first sync only 144 of 1456 addresses were left on my Palm! iCal - no change!!
So I dumped iSync/Entourage and went back to Missing Sync own Conduits. I got my AB entries back but absolutely nothing from iCal
When I wiped my Powerbook, I cloned the hardrive. Whilst routing around, I found a folder called FileServices in ~libray. This folder was over 12gig in size. What is this folder for and why was it so big? This could explain why my Backup Sets were getting increasing larger than my actual Hardrive even though I was peforming just a daily incremental backup!
Back to iCal. Is there any reason why iCal will not refresh after a so called successful sync with my Treo 680 via Missing Sync v6.0.2?

You might have better luck getting support at Mark/Space the makers of the program. http://support.markspace.com
I did briefly look around there and found this article, not sure if its related to your issue or not.

Unlocked (Rogers) Treo 680 Problem: No network after 1.12 upgrade

Here's what I did:
Bought Rogers GSM Treo 680 on Ebay and inserted my T-Mobile SIM Card.
Bought and applied unlock code.
Successfully used Treo 680 on T-Mobile (USA) for 7 months. Everything worked fine.
Recently upgraded to firmware version 1.12 using Palm "Unlocked" download. (Probably a mistake...I thought since I had unlocked the phone, I should use this Unlocked upgrade.) Now the phone would not connect to T-Mobile anymore.
Redid upgrade to Rogers 1.12 upgrade. Still won't connect to T-Mobile.
I couldn't find my unlock code, so spent $25 on a new unlock code. Entered it, reboot, still won't connect to T-Mobile.
Note: I can see T-Mobile and ATT in my "Select network" list. It always responds with "Unable to register with selected network".
What do I do now?
FYI, some of my phone info, if it matters:
Firmware: R01.92
Software: Treo680-1.12-ROW
CC-Cap: ROG-ROG-015
Carrier DB: 549
Hardware: A

Separate Palm desktop installs for Palm M505 and its apps and Palm Treo 680 and its apps on same Windows XP computer?

Hello:
I'm trying to do a workaround. I've got a Palm M505 that has a terrific keyboard that hooks up to it. This lets me write documents in a very portable way. The Treo 680 never had the equivalent, really full-sized external keyboard made compatible with it. So, I want to create documents on the M505 but otherwise mostly use the Treo 680.
Here's the rub. When I tried to sync both devices to my Palm Desktop version 4.1.2 for Windows XP, it didn't work. Hotsync tries to synchronize apps that won't work on the M505. Also, the versions of Documents to Go are very different (5.x versus 8.x).
I would love to have a separate Palm Desktop installation for each device, so I can have a nice desktop environment for each by launching them separately. But, the Palm Desktop installation "wizard" shuts down and won't give me the opportunity to do a separate Desktop install.
Any ideas other than buying an ultra-small laptop and dropping this kludgy scheme? For instance, if I were to copy the installed files from one directory to another, would this work, or would it not be set up in the Registry?
Thanks!

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Okay. Stubbornness pays off! I was able to beam documents between my Palm M505 and Treo 680, avoiding the need for complicated syncing of both Palms to my laptop machine. I was also able to beam documents from both Palms to my Dell Inspiron M300 laptop, running Windows XP Pro.
When beaming between Palm devices, the results were better. In the M505, Documents to Go version 5.004 doesn't translate documents into Microsoft Word format but into something it calls Word to Go. The Treo has DTG version 8.003, which is able to read files in Word to Go format and save in native Microsoft Word for Windows format.
However, even when beaming a Word to Go (old format) document directly onto the Desktop of my Windows XP machine, it gave me a document I could open, with the text I'd input following a bunch of characters Word obviously didn't understand. If I add the file from my desktop to the newer Documents to Go version on my laptop, I expect it will translate it into a Word file when it syncs to the Treo but haven't tested that. In either case, beaming between Palm devices is the easiest solution and completely solves the problem.
For any readers who are interested, the reason I've so stubbornly tried to solve this problem is that I'm a fast touch typist. My old Palm M505 plugs directly into a wonderful, old Palm Portable Keyboard that is full-sized. Because it's a hard-wired connection, I can type fast. That old keyboard compresses into the same folded footprint as some new foldover external keyboards. It does this even though much bigger by folding in an accordian-like fashion, with four flat surfaces folder together. That keyboard design now exists in some of the keyboards sold by IGo corporation (their old name for it was Sierra Stowaway Bluetooth Keyboard). But, they were unable to figure out how to handshake their Bluetooth with the odd Bluetooth configuation in the Treo 680. Why Palm made the Bluetooth library different in the Treo 680 from other Treos is a mystery to me, but enough of this tangent. Some interested in this workaround may be curious for similar reasons.
