Palm Centro Option Button Issue

Hi, I have a Centro (Verizon) on software revision CENTRO-1.03-VZW that I had to hard reset last night. Ever since then, I've lost some option button function. I used to be able to hold the option button and press the left/right arrows and move word-by-word through messages, but that doesn't work anymore. Any ideas? This is driving me insane trying to figure it out!
Thanks!

Palm Centro Unlock Button

The key unlock button on my Palm Centro has ceased to work. The only way to access the phone is to remove and replace the battery then use it before it goes to the sleep mode. Has anyone else encountered this problem, and how did you solve it?
Thanks,

No, I have not installed any new software lately. I started having the Keyguard problem a week or two ago and it was intermittant. It would not work at all for several hours then would start working normally for a few hours. About the time I was ready to give up on it, the Keyguard would start working again. Finally, two days ago, I could not get it to work at all and had to recycle the battery to get to the phone to turn it on or off or make a call. That is when I did some research and found out how to disable the Keyguard function. It appears to working normally now except that the Keyguard function is disabled. Do you think I should do a hard reset?

Option Button Issue

Hi,
I'm creating a form with a set of three option buttons. They are bound to a field in the database. When I add a record to the database and optOpResource is selected, 1 is saved to the database (should be 3). When I bring the item back to the form optOpCostOnly is selected (should be optOpResource). When I select optOpResource and then update, 3 is saved to the database (this is correct). Why does it not put 3 into the field when I add the record; but does when I update it? Of course the update wouldn't have been necessary if it were added correctly in the first place. The code to create the option buttons is below. Any ideas? I'm on 2007 A PL47.
Thanks,
Mike
[Code]
Dim optOpCostOnly As SAPbouiCOM.OptionBtn 'optOperation As SAPbouiCOM.OptionBtn
Dim optOpResource As SAPbouiCOM.OptionBtn ' new
Dim optResource As SAPbouiCOM.OptionBtn
(should be 1)
optOpCostOnly = oWrkForm.Items.Item("optOpCost").Specific
optOpCostOnly.DataBind.SetBound(True, "@NBS_RESOURCE", "U_NBS_Function")
oWrkForm.Items.Item("optOpCost").AffectsFormMode = True
(should be 2)
optResource = oWrkForm.Items.Item("optRes").Specific
oWrkForm.Items.Item("optRes").AffectsFormMode = True
optResource.GroupWith("optOpCost")
(should be 3)
optOpResource = oWrkForm.Items.Item("optOpRes").Specific
oWrkForm.Items.Item("optOpRes").AffectsFormMode = True
optOpResource.GroupWith("optOpCost")

Hi Mike,
optOpCostOnly = oWrkForm.Items.Item("optOpCost").Specific
optOpCostOnly.DataBind.SetBound(True, "@NBS_RESOURCE", "U_NBS_Function")
oWrkForm.Items.Item("optOpCost").AffectsFormMode = True
'(should be 2)
optResource = oWrkForm.Items.Item("optRes").Specific
optResource.DataBind.SetBound(True, "@NBS_RESOURCE", "U_NBS_Function")
oWrkForm.Items.Item("optRes").AffectsFormMode = True
optResource.GroupWith("optOpCost")
'(should be 3)
optOpResource = oWrkForm.Items.Item("optOpRes").Specific
optOpResource.DataBind.SetBound(True, "@NBS_RESOURCE", "U_NBS_Function")
oWrkForm.Items.Item("optOpRes").AffectsFormMode = True
optOpResource.GroupWith("optOpCost")
If this does not solve the problem, please export the form to XML and post it. It's much easier to detect what's wrong.

Palm Centro - Button Issues (new)

Last month I dropped my palm centro in a bowl of water (aka my toilet... ). I let it dry in a bowl of uncooked rice and everything returned to normal. All the buttons worked, and the touchscreen function worked normally. Recently though suddenly the buttons stopped working. The last couple of days have been humid and that may have something to do with it but I tried turning my phone off and removing the battery to let it dry out. Only the touchscreen function works, making navigating around my phone very tedious and difficult. Sometimes I get stuck in an application and so I have to remove the battery and when I put it back in all of the buttons work momentarily. Is there anything I can do to get them to work permanently again? Thank you for your time.

That is unfortunate to hear.
You can try a hard reset to resolve the issue. The hard reset will erase all data on the device. Make sure you sync to the PC to backup your data.
If the hard reset does not correct the issue, then the Centro will need to be repaired.
Click on the following link to the kb.palm.com webpage for the article regarding reset procedures.

Verizon Palm Centro ringtone issues

I have A Verizon Wireless Palm Centro and I have some songs on Ptunes I want to use as ringtones. I'm not getting a card anytime soon so can someone just please find a FREE software for me that will turn the songs either on my computer to MIDI files or whaterever will work with my phone. thnx!
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Songs can easily "DL" right to your phone from your computer. It's all explained clearly in the User Guide that ships with every device (on the Installation Disk in pdf format), and is also available online at Palm.com.:
First Open Pocket Tunes on your phone, then Windows Media Player. When both programs are up and running, plug in your HotSync cable, but do not press the button to Hotsync!
Windows: Open Windows Media
Player on your computer. On the Sync
tab, select Set Up Sync. Select Finish.
In the Sync tab, select the files and
playlists you want to sync manually.
Select Start Sync. The files are
transferred to your smartphone.
This will send the whole library to your card. There is an option to "Not Sync Automatically" that will then just open the library window in Windows Media Player on the right pane. You can then drag and drop any songs you want on the card into this window. When the songs are in the window that you want, then press the "Start Sync" button below the list in Windows Media Player.

Hanging up on Palm Centro without pushing red/end button?

Hello,
I have recently gone through a few Palm Centros for various problems (initial one wouldn't charge when plugged into a wall, replacement 1 wouldn't make/receive phone calls/text messages) and thought I had finally gotten a properly working one. Unfortunately, the red end button on my Centro stopped working yesterday. Since the rest of the phone is fine and set up like I want it, I am reluctant to try to replace this one also. Does anyone know how to hang up a phone call without pushing the red end button??? This is my only problem - if I need to turn off the phone, I can take out the battery, but telling everyone to hang up when I talk to them or having to take out the battery after leaving a message/checking voicemail is getting annoying.
Help!
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

You could enable the touchscreen during calls or try using the 5-way navigator and center button to hang up.
Some corded and bluetooth headsets have a pick-up/hang-up button.
If you don't want to return the device but don't mind setting it up again from scratch, you could do a good HotSync and then "hard reset" the phone. That might resolve any software issue which is affecting the button; it can't fix a hardware problem, of course.

Palm Centro GSM Unlocked freezing issues still unresolved?

Hi, I'm one of the many many (yes, we exist and we ARE MANY, even if Palm keeps ignoring us) unhappy Centro owners that purchased a smartphone that (ironically) doesn't work as a phone... I'm writing from Mexico and I bought a Palm Centro with Telcel.
I don't think it's necessary to again describe the problem because it's been discussed a lot here and in other respected and popular Treo/PDA forums... just google "Centro freeze" and you'll see for yourself.
I just wanted to know a couple of things:
1.Is Palm ever going to adress this issue as an official bug and offer a ROM/Firmware update solution or are they cowardly going to turn they're backs on us?
2. Has anyone suffering from this issue tried the custom ROM update offered by some guy at TreoCentral and did it work?
3. Flashing and/or changing the ROM of my quasi-phone voids warranty?
I hope someone can help us, the once satisfied and loyal Palm users now turned into desperate postin/ranting machines...

Palm Centro Issue With Yahoo Mail Plus POP via Versamail

I have a Palm Centro and have been using Versamail for 3 1/2 years with my Yahoo Mail Plus account via POP. On September 12th I stopped having the ability to send or receive POP email on my Yahoo Mail Plus account. I have spoken with Sprint & Yahoo. I have done all the steps they have asked and I have even gone as far as replacing my phone with another Palm Centro and still have the same issue. I know the config is correct as it was working for so long. I can use my Gmail POP in Versamail fine. I receive the error when setting up the Yahoo Mail Plus account in Versamail when I click on "Test Settings" I receive the following... "Error connecting to server. Please check your network or server settings and re-sync." Does anyone have any ideas about this? Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

actually some e-mail providers like yahoo free account, msn mail and free hot mail does not work with the mail application, as you told me that it needs to enable the pop server for such mail
and about the iphone are you sure that ur using the mail application in iphone, you must be using safari to browse through ur mails
yahoo mail plus is compatible with the mail application but it comes for a price so here you could either use safari to go through your mail or go in for some other free account like AOL which will work with the mail application

Palm Centro Issue; Hard to Explain

Hello eveyone,
I really hope I can explain this accuaretly enough and hopefully get and answer.
I woke up this morning and my Palm Centro (AT&T) wouldn't turn on. Even though I thought I had charged it all night, I thought the charger must've fallen out or something. Later on, I got home and I plugged my charger in and the centro came on just like it would after you had the battery taken out or after a reset.
It came ot the date & time screen as per usual and then further went to the main phone app with the 'Phone Off.' I first loked at the battery meter and for some reason it said 97% (charging) which I thought was odd considering it was just dead. I then went to turn the phone on, the Hello Screen came on and it made the little nose but after that it restarted itself once again.
I've tried this several time and I've tried a soft and warm reset on the device and nothing works.
I now have it plugged into my computer via my hotsunc cable and the charge light is green but it will not turn on. i've also tried a soft and warm reset connected this way and nothing has worked, the screen wont even come on.
So I'm definitly at a loss here,any help would be very very very much appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
~Derek

Attempt a Hard Reset. If this behavior continues then the device will need to be repaired or replaced.

Can't sync Palm Centro and Outlook 2007/Windows 7 - please help!

Hello,
I've never posted on a forum, but I'm at my wits end...! I've been trying to get my Palm Centro to sync Contacts/Calendar/Memos to Outlook 2007 on my new laptop for a week now with no success. It used to sync just fine to my old computer with Windows XP and Outlook 2003. Then that computer crashed (my Outlook files were backed up on an external harddrive). I received my new computer with Windows 7 XP (32-bit) and Outlook 2007.  I've downloaded the Palm Desktop 6.2, Windows 2007 Conduit, and Software Update 1.03 (Windows installer) for Centro for Verizon.
When I sync my phone to my new Outlook, it completes all 12 steps, but does not load Contacts/Calendar/Memos to Outlook.  This is a list of the error messages:

Can someone please help me transfer Contacts/Calendar/Memos from my Palm Centro to my computer's Outlook 2007?
I've ready about 3rd party software in posts (Pocket Mirror), but I don't know if it applies here because the Contact/Calendar/Memo information is in my Centro - not in Outlook. I need to get it from my Centro to Outlook 2007.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I have a Pre Plus and am using CompanionLink software. If the Centro is like the Plus (which I believe it is) it will not sync with Outlook. Here is a link to Companion Link:

I have been using this and it works great. On their site you can choose the phone and the particular program you need to sync with and choose which you way you want to sync.
Hope this helps
Sorry hat, the Centro has absolutely nothing in common with a webOS device! It runs PalmOS. Nice of you to reply with your suggestion though!
@SyncHelpPlease: OLERR errors are covered in this Palm KB article:
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/31167_en.html
Something I noticed in your post - you installed Palm 6.2.2 AND the 2007 conduit. Palm Desktop 6.2.2. has the 2007 conduits built into it already, and the patch is not needed. Whether this is the cause of your problems, I'm not sure, but I've fielded several posts of the same issue where the user did the same thing you did!
I'd suggest doing a clean uninstall, and reinstall of Palm Desktop 6.2.2 only.
I admit, I do not use Outlook, nor Win7, so I'm giving you my best guess at a way to solve your problem. Hopefully, this may lead to a solution!

Palm centro dropping calls at voicemail

I have a new palm centro from at&t. It seems to drop the call, or go to mute when I reach another persons mailbox. It doesnt always do this, but it goes in spurts. I'll hear the ringing, then when I should hear a voicemail message I hear nothing.
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

Here is the work around. I have escalated the issue to both AT&T Tech Support and Palm. I don't think either really cares so all bets are off on a software/firmware upgrade.
Issue: Palm Centro has high percentage of call failures on call originations that end up terminating to voicemail or answering machines. After screen blanks out while the terminating number is still ringing, the phone mutes (both speaker and mic) and acts like the call was dropped.
The problem occurs when a GSM call origination generates ringback for 30 seconds or longer. Most carriers now have the handset versus the network generating the ringback that the caller hears. For some reason Palm mutes the call if the ringback is for 30 seconds or longer. My findings indicate that this occurs because of their Auto Off interval. See page 252 of the owner’s manual. Also see page 285 where Palm states: “ Auto-off interval - The time of inactivity that passes before the screen on your Centro turns off. The wireless features on your Centro are unaffected by this setting.”
Test: Find a number that has either an answering machine set to answer after 6 (30 seconds of) rings or another mobile phone on a different carrier (Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile) that is powered on and has good signal strength. Most carriers default the time of ringback (page response) to 30 seconds before either delivering an announcement or redirecting the call to voicemail. If the phone is not on or doesn’t have a signal, the cellular network will not provide 30 seconds of ringback before rolling the call to announcement or voicemail. In this case, this test will fail and you will hear the voicemail or answering machine greeting. Make sure you place test calls to the phone # and it goes to dead air before trying the below.
In the Centro:
Go to Phone
Options
System Options
Change Auto Off after from 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Now test to see if you get to voicemail or the answering machine every time. You should also be able to leave a message. I tested to see if the message gets cut off because the Auto Off timer could power off the speaker and mic after 20-30 seconds (30 seconds of ringback, a greeting of some length and then the prompts to leave a message). The message was complete so I do not believe this is an issue but it should be thoroughly tested.
The downside of this fix is that the screen will stay on for 1 minute after unlocking keyguard. This will eat up more battery. If you need max battery life, leave the auto off after set to 30 seconds. Whenever you receive dead air when you believe you should get voicemail or an answering machine, hit the phone button while the call is in progress. This wakes up the phone’s screen and you should get the greeting already in progress. The phone could mute again after 30 seconds but you’ll never know it so your message may get cut off. I have not tested this but other Centro owners report that the terminating number has a voicemail with a slight buzzing.
Let me know how this works for you. We need to share this with Palm because there auto off function is certainly affecting the wireless features of our Centros.

Has 4 year old palm centro unlocked phone. want to change its panel+keypad.where to get it in india?

My phone became little old. Its of whilte pearl colour.
How can I change the case+keypad etc of this?
Where in India should be done this? Please help?
Or any option to upgrade to any other HP/PALM phone, in exchange of my this phone?
I am ready to pay any extra cost in exchange...

Hello smilekapoor, Palm Inc. ceased making new phones many years ago, and I'm afraid HP no longer supports them.
However, if you google "palm centro repair" you will find many places that still offer parts for your phone.
I do not know if any offer service to India; this will require some research on your part.

Setting up Bluetooth HotSync - Palm Centro, Windows 7, 64 bit

A couple of days ago I posted on here trying to figure out how to HotSync my Palm Centro with my new computer that has Windows 7 (64 bit). I followed the instructions - had to go and buy a Bluetooth Adapter for the computer - and went through the instructions from the sticky that was pointed out to me in my original question. I'm to the point where I'm trying to set up the phone to do a Bluetooth HotSync but when it's searching for computers it doesn't find any...
HELP!!!!! What do I need to do now. It may take me a couple of days to get back if anyone answers this quickly because I have a very hectic weekend but any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing your solution andygc!
