Palm and MIDP 2.0

Hi,
is it possible to run MIDP 2.0 apps on Palm?
has neone done so so far?

Yes, if the device is a PalmOS 5 Tungsten device or Treo 600.
At PalmOne's site they claim they will be releasing a Treo 650 and T5 update by Dec. 17, 2004.

  • 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

  • Problems with Repeating Events on Palm and iCal

    Hi,
    I'm having a problem with daily-repeating events entered into either my Palm or iCal. When I put events in my palm and sync them to iCal, the iCal calendars look right, but then the Palm events become truncated,i.e. only the first day of daily event will be visible. If I do nothing but just sync again, the events in iCal become weirdly duplicated, i.e. if an event had two repeats, the "original" occurrance will be there, along with a second, starting on next day of the series, lasting for the same number of repeats. Is there any way to make one calendar the overwriting calendar while using iSync? Or do you know of some other fix? This problem doesn't seem to affect other repeating events, either monthly or yearly.
    Thanks

    As I just posted in another thread, there are a whole series of 'representation disconnects' between the Palm calendaring application and iCal.
    While this article— iSync: About Syncing Recurrent Events Between iCal and Palm OS Based Devices—would lead to you believe that iSync is primarily the issue, it's not: this behavior occurs primarily because of the differences between the calendaring programs in each environment, and only secondarily because of the manner in which records are pushed and pulled by the synchronization framework.
    iSync itself is simply another compliant sync client, and there is unfortunately no workaround for the issues delineated in the article.

  • Broken Palm and crashed Hard Drive

    Help Please!  I ran over my Palm Z22 (oops!) and while all the info is still in there and I can turn it on, it does not respond to the touch screen.  I can use the buttons for calendar and contacts and the on/off switch.  Meanwhile, my computer also crashed and had to be wiped clean (lost all my Palm info).  I've got my computer up and running and the Palm software loaded.  However, all my calendar and contact info is on the broken palm and I can't do a hotsync using the touch screen hotsync button on the device.  Is there a way to hotsync from the computer to pull the info out of my Palm?
    It hasn't been a good week for my electronics!  Thanks for any help you  can provide!

    Unfortunately there is no way to recover that data from the device other than manually enter it in. I went though all the options due to your keys work but there is no way to activate hotsync without the touchscreen.

    To sync on your new 32-bit desktop you will need to download the Vista-compatible Palm Desktop 6.2.
    You will also need to install Documents To Go v.10 on the new desktop as well...should be fine with Vista.  From what I've seen of Beyond Contacts, you will need to upgrade to 3.0083 to gain Vista support.  I don't know if that's a paid upgrade or not.
    If any of your other third-party apps also have a desktop component or install a conduit for synchronization, you'll need to check with each of them to verify compatibility with Vista and Palm Desktop 6.2.
    When you connect to the new computer for the first time after you install Palm Desktop software, just select the TX's current Hotsync ID to sync with, and the data on the TX should automatically migrate into your new installation.  But it's always best to be safe rather than sorry.  Get a copy of NVBackup (google and download from any legit source such as www.palmgear.com ), and run a complete backup onto a SD card.  That way, you'll be minutes away from a full Restore if anything does happen in the transition.
    Lastly, if you plan to sync with your two computers, you will need to be careful and only use one of them for full 2-way synchronization, and use the other purely as a clone to hold a copy of the data on the handheld, using Handheld Overwrites Desktop conduit settings on that second computer.  Otherwise data corruption is sure to result.  This Palm Knowledgebase Article discusses how to Hotsync one device on two different desktops:

  • Palm - "and for our next trick..."

    Palm - "and for our next trick... we have the latest Palm phone made by HTC and running webOS!" *applause*
    I really think Palm needs to hook up with HTC, create a really good virtual keyboard and introduce, in my opinion, a real killer of a phone.  Given the fact that the Nexus One is getting it's share of complaints that require up to 48 hours for someone to respond (to an email!), I thought to myself, what if the Nexus One was running WebOS instead of Android?
    I can picture it now - playing NFSU on webOS on an HTC device.
    HTC designs some really nice hardware - just make sure they don't push Sense UI on you.

    I think what Palms focus now is not just building the OS, but the hardware it runs on. The same mindset as Apple. I agree the HTC stuff is nicely made though.

  • Replacing Palm and Syncing with Mac

    I have been using a Palm handheld (the bottom-of-the-range Z22) for many years, together with the appropriate version of the Palm Desktop application on my Mac. Now my handheld has given up the ghost, and, having begun to look for a replacement, have begun to realize that the world has changed while I haven't been watching. Where have all the Palm handhelds gone?
    I would be really grateful for advice, since any replacement will have to fulfil the following requirements. Firstly, I must be able to back up data from it onto my Mac (and vice versa), just as I have been able to do hitherto. Secondly, I want to be able to transfer all my data from my present Palm Desktop application to the new device and whatever desktop application comes with it. (As far as my contacts are concerned, I have kept them in an AppleWorks database as well as on my Palm and Palm Desktop. I suppose it conceivably might be easier to import them from the AW database than from Palm Desktop. But my diary entries for the next year or two, and my Memo data, will in any case have to come from Palm Desktop.)
    The crucial thing in both these matters is that my computer is a PPC one and my operating system is Tiger (10.4.11), and I am not proposing to upgrade these, since a great deal of my expensive software would also have to be upgraded if I did.
    As far as I can see, only fossilized remains of plain old handhelds (diary, address book, memos) now exist. I do not really want a smartphone, since I have an ordinary mobile 'phone anyway and do not require mobile access to e-mails and internet. But if I have to have a smartphone, so be it, as long as I can synch it with my Mac and can import my data from Palm Desktop into it.
    Thank you very much for suggestions, ideas amd advice.

    Appleworks is no longer supported.  So a Palm software may actually be better when moving to the modern day.  See this user tip with regards to converting your Appleworks files:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2522
    According to:
    http://roaringapps.com/app:2293
    It appears Palm has abandoned the Mac as well, and Missing Sync is your best bet to keep your old files updated:
    http://www.markspace.com/osx-lion/index.html
    So you might want to consider their software, and compatible devices to integrate yourself when you move up to Intel Macs.  This migration tip explains other things you may need to consider:

    And if upgrading to Leopard:

  • J2ME and MIDP beginner questions

    Can anyone recommend editor/IDE, toolkit etc. for coding, building and testing MIDP2.0 apps/games?
    Until now I've coded a game using J2SE. I used Forte 3.0 for coding and compiling, and IE5.5 for testing.
    Now I want to code mobile games/apps using J2ME and MIDP 2.0. What software do I need? I downloaded Sun ONE studio 4 ME and wireless toolkit 2.0, but are kind of struggeling with it :)
    Regards
    Hallvard

    Ok, I found out that the toolkit compiled the .java files and could bulid the .jar and .jad files, and then test the MIDLet on the emulator.
    But what about a good editor/IDE for MIDLets? In Sun ONE studio ME i finally managed to create a HelloWorld Midlet (with new project wizard), and build and run it in the toolkit.
    I also heard that Borland JBuilder Mobile Edition was a nice IDE for J2ME/MIDLets.

    Then, Getting the vesrion fo MIDP uses "microedition.profiles".

  • J2me wireless toolkit and MIDP,CLDC

    Hi,
    does the j2me wireless toolkit ship the cldc and midp with it ?

    why email, thats a forum because there are more people interested in problems and their solution than you.
    The 2.2beta also ships with the CLDC 1.1 and MIDP 2.0. Its a must because without it, you wouldnt be able to execute anything. And you cant put the JVM, MIDP and CLDC on your phone. The only thing you need is your application. The rest is implemented in hardware (or firmware of the phone). If not, theres no way to ''manually'' put in there (this includes upgrading).

  • Syncing Palm and iCal

    My Palm used to sync perfectly with iCal, but it's suddenly stopped. The address book syncs just fine, but I can't for the life of me get iCal syncing again. Has anyone had this happen, and is there any way to reset the whole thing so I can get it going again? Thanks!

    Thank you and apologies.
    I did wonder about beginning a new thread but thought someone might yell at me for my question being too similar to others. Likely a needless concern as the posts on this site seem quite friendly.
    The short answer to your copy/back up questions is no.
    The last time I synced with Palm Desktop was on another hard drive. Thus, there is no back up of the information I just lost anywhere on this machine.
    Terrible as this sounds, I have not been using iCal, and as previously stated just started back up with my Palm (in January). No matching info anywhere.
    I've been quite naughty and had not attempted a sync until today, in part due to issues that needed sorting on the powerbook, and in part due to superstition. The last time I synced the Palm to the powerbook, the hard drive crashed. It died a painful death, somehow managing to suck all the info out of the Palm at the same time. I ended up with a blank Palm and a fried drive.
    This after 2 years of no problems with Palm/Mac. The trauma drove me back to paper until this year.
    Today was a new beginning of sorts, the first sync, but with info on both devices. What actually happened was this- the address book on my Mac was added to my Palm, the note pad on my Palm was added to my Mac, and the calendar and to do list on my Palm were wiped clean. Nothing actually synced, though everything was set to do so in both HotSync and iSync.
    My software is current but now I am even more confused. Since posting, I've done more research on both the Apple and Palm sites. I'm finding some contradictory information regarding HotSync settings. Palm would have me change the address book, calendar, to do list, etc. from "synchronize" to "do nothing". I assume this is to allow the sync to the Mac programs vs. Palm Desktop? Quite frankly, I'm a bit afraid to try anything right now and have something else lost or over-written.
    I'm usually quite competent and not such a dunce when it comes to this stuff, I'm feeling rather foolish. I know I cannot retrieve the info I lost from my Palm as I have no back up. I just had a magical hope there was a sneaky way to revert the Palm as iSync allows on the Mac. I'm just a crazy dreamer...
    Unless there is a back door? Kidding.
    So can you help out a very verbose girl who is having a huge DUH moment and fill me on the proper settings in both iSync and HotSync? If we could avoid any further loss of info them I'm certain we can avoid any loss of life or limb. That would be good. Thanks!

  • One hour time difference between Palm and Exchange calendar items

    Calendar items on Exchange and Palm are off by one hour.
    Exchange server, desktop PC and Palm are all set to PST with the same time. Versamail account on Palm has been deleted and rebuilt.

    What is interesting is the appointments entered in Outlook show up on the Palm one hour early however they show the correct time in (parenthises) so the Palm seems to be somewhat aware of the problem.
    This same issue occurs on different Palm T/X 's with different Outlook accounts.

  • Calendar Sync for Palm and encryption

    We are converting our Calendar Server to always use encryption. We're not finding any way to specify the encryption in the Calendar Sync conduit. Did we miss it somewhere? If not, how do we force the Calendar Sync for Palm to use encryption?

    There's a bug on the conduits as to were to find needed DLLs. It depends on setting itself in the path via environment variables.
    The thing is that the conduits are not compatible with other Oracle client installations, which also add themselves to the path. An example is Oracle's Instant Client.
    Check your system's path to see if you have any other Oracle client directories before CalSync's directory.
    I had a TAR created for this and supposedly they will be 'patching' it for next version...

  • New palm and getting the info from my old palm on the new one.

    Hi there.  I had to have a new centro ordered because my first cento's keys stopped working.  The sprint store recommended me coming home and backing up all my data on my first centro while I was waiting for the new centro to arrive.  All of my data from my first phone is backed up on my computer but I do not know how to get all of my calendar events and what not onto the new centro.  As soon as I hook up my new centro with the hotsync cable it wants to create a new user on my computer.  I"m not sure if that's what I need to do in order to get my old data on my new centro.  The sprint store was able to get all of my contacts on my new phone, I'm mainly wanting all of my calendar (which has important dates and things going on) and my downloaded ringtones.  If anyone can please help me figure out how to get all the old stuff on my new palm that would be great!  Thank you!
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    When you connect the Centro to the PC does it only ask to create a new username or do you get the option to use an existing username? You should have this option. If you don't, make sure the Centro is not connected to the PC. On the Centro, go to hotsync, look in the upper right corner of the screen, is there a username listed? Is it the same name that is in Palm desktop that has your data?
    If the name on the Centro is different than the one in Palm desktop, you will need to erase the username on the Centro and then you should get the prompt to use an existing username in Palm desktop.
    Here is a link to the Palm article regarding erasing the username on your device. Use the Option 2 in the article to erase the username on the device using the shortcut character.
