Palm support in wtk2.5.2

after sucessfully download of sun java wireless toolkit
i have seen that there is nothing related to palm os
infact in the articles of sun i have read out that midp 1.0 supports for palm OS
and it also gives convertor for jar to prc tool
in wtk 2.5.2 there is nothing found for that
why mdip 2.0 is not support for palm ?
i am really confused for that

Our current release, version 5.1, should fully support internationalized
content.
Thanks,
Michael

  • Why is Palm support so clueless? Don't understand what a Touchstone cover is for the Pixi.

    So I have a Touchstone Pixi back cover that the metal sliver has fallen off to keep the usb flap closed. After mutliple crazy glue episodes, it finally fell off, and I can't find it. So I call Palm and get their ESL reps (no slur intended, just the nature of the frustration). So it's bad enough they a) don't know the products and b) don't understand conversational english very well, but I get disconnected twice and their callbacks gave me nothing but dead air. So after going through the third person, I gave up. I then try chat. Things seemed to go better. The guy finally seemed to understand my problem. Says they'll send me a new cover. To my surprise I get a fed ex today  with the new cover. Open it up, and it's the basic cover, not the touchstone cover. Now I'm just peeved. So safe to say they got a bunch of very bad support surveys and now I can't even get their online chat up. I've probably wasted about two hours between the phone and chat trying to get this fixed.
    When their phone reps don't understand I'm talking about the back cover to the Pixi and tell me to  stop calling it a touchstone cover when the word is used in the description of the cover, I just don't know what to do.Why is it the tech support questions seem to go to English first speaking people who have no problem understanding what you're saying and know the products, but other support gets a foreign language first person who only knows what pops up on their screen.
    At least now I know I don't have to send back my defective cover and can just cut the flap off until they rectify the problem and send me the correct one.
    Let's hope HP can improve some of the internal workings as well. Though it won't matter in a month or so as I'll be picking up the Evo. Wish I could use my Pixi as a wifi device, but Palm screwed that one up too. It's a travesty that Sprint users can't get a Plus version by now. They should've stopped making the regular versions the minute they started production on the two Plus versions. But that's another gripe entirely.

    appreciate the post. I think my scathing survey sped up the corporate phone call proceess as I got a phone call from a very nice support person. He was more than helpful and apologetic, and I wouldn't be surprised if the touchstone cover is on my doorstep when I get home. It'll collect dust for awhile as I'm playing with a Pre for a bit. I do realize why I returned my launch day Pre.Man that keyboard makes my fingers hurt.
    looking forward to some new updates soon though. Will be fun to do a comparison against the Evo next month. See how well HTC polished up 2.1.
    Thanks again.

  • MMAPI supported in Palm?

    Hi, I am very new to MIDP. But I need to develop a java conduit to synchrnoize data between the Palm Client (Palm OS 5 and with camera) with the desktop.
    In the Palm client, I need to let user take photo and then upload it to the desktop. Firstly, I need to organize the photos in a way which make me easy to upload. I found that MMAPI can control the camera of the handheld device. But all the examples are on the mobile phone. I just don't know if Palm supported this?
    I am greatly apprepriate if anyone can give me some hints!! I am afraid that I go on the wrong track if it is not supported in the Palm device.
    Thanks.

    i had the same issue. I just did not use isync. Only certain devices are supported by isync. i have a 755p Palm. The Palm Treo 755p is not supported on the palm Tungsten and Zire families. The Pocket PC is also not supported see http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/.
    You must purchase third party software from http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_palmos.php from mark sync for $39.95. Then your palm Treo 755p can sync with ical and mac address book. Then you can publish your ical and address book to .mac (dotmac).
    First, I installed the version of Palm that came on the CD with my phone. Then, I installed the latest version of the Palm v 4.2.1 Rev D from the website at http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html#sysreq. Then I did a hot sync to secure my information. Then I purchased and installed the missing palm sync from mark space. Then I hot synced again. I followed the instructions of letting the mac overwrite the handheld for the first sync. So after the sync i had to export my calendar and contacts from palm then import into ical and address book. Then I synced again.
    Afterwards, I published to my .mac and selected update automatically. No problems ever since.
    PS. I am running Leopard 10.5.1 on the new 24" imac.

  • I have a new Palm Pre Plus - can I have more than one Google G-Mail Account on the phone?

    I have a general G-Mail account and it has started getting too busy with advertisements etc.  I'm thinking about changing to a different e-mail address but don't know what yet.
    I have an old Palm Centro I used to Synch with my laptop.  Now I need to do this with G-Mail.  So I created a unique g-mail account that would only contain my calendar and contact information - i called it "palm.last name" - made sense to me.
    When I try to add it to my Palm Pre Plus I am unable to sign in.  I'm wondering if you are limited to the number of Gmail e-mail accounts you can have on the phone.  If i can only have 1 then I don't want my e-mail to be "palm.last name" and give that out to people - that would not make sense to them. 
    I already have a Yahoo Account and I'm thinking about another Yahoo Account to keep some e-mails and instant messages separate from my personal Yahoo.  If I cannot add more than 1 account, this is going to be a problem.
    Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

    Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
    You should be able to add your second Gmail account without any problem...I have two Gmail accounts on my Pre and have no difficulties.
    When you say you are unable to "sign in", I assume you mean you are unable to sync the email and calendar on your new account?  Double-checking your user name and password are the only things that come to mind.

  • Bug & Conflict w/ Palm Destop 6 & Windows Media Player

    I am a long time Palm user but my T2 was not getting much use considering I was already carrying Two cell phones. But I was excited to get an upgrade to a Centro for one of my phones. Now I am dealing with the differences between PalmDesktop4 (PD4) and PD6 on Windows XP SP3.
    I found what appears to be a critical bug in the installation of PD6 in that it has some very undesirable interactions with Windows Media Player (WMP) 10 & 11. Let me preface by saying that I am not using WMP or PocketTunes for any syncing or transferring any media to my Centro. My Centro is only used for calendar, contacts, calculators, and Docs2Go.
    I have installed PD6 and the PD6 user data to a removable drive for personal privacy on a work computer. The error is that when ever the drive is not mounted and wmplayer.exe is started, Windows searches for the Palm Access Installation package on my removable drive and attempts to start a installation of PD6. Of course it does not find the .msi and the only thing that happens is my computer locks up till I close WMP and then the ACCESS installer goes away. If the removable drive is mounted with the PD6 application directory and the PD6 user data, WMP loads quickly and appears to work fine.
    Why is WMP trying to connect to applications or support files in the PD6 application directory?
    I can only assume that the new PD6 media tab now is hooked into some windows media services. PD6 must be registered as a client/helper app to windows media and WMP is trying to load or locate the registered resources.
    The big problem with this is that my user data path gets over written with PD6 installation defaults in the Windows Registry and I have to manually reset all the PalmDesktop registry data to point PD6 at my really user path on the V: drive.
    This should not be installed this way. The association between the two applications appears to be an error in the ACCESS installation package for PD6.
    I used Palm.com “Chat” support four or five time for some very basic support in getting my new Centro setup. The Palm.com “Chat” support was great. For this issue they were absolutely useless. One support person affirmed that I should be able to use the removable drive, the next just had me do reinstalls for PD6 (that I had already done) and then told me I would have to use the defaults for C:\Program Files and D:\Documents and Settings\username... They recommended that I use the Palm.com phone support number.
    I did this and it had to be one of the worse support calls I have made in a while (case number 1-51474282949). Why is it impossible to get any computer software or hardware company to support the desktop software they putout? I got the same tech support baby talk about “reinstalling the application”, “use the default installation path”, “its not our application” and “you will have to contact Microsoft for support on your operating system”. Ahhhhh!
    I was not even able to speak with a “Level 2” tech support person. I demanded that I be connected to a technical person a not just fed the same FAQ crap that I could find on the website. The “Level 2” person would not take my call but just passed the message to the “Level 1” Person that I would have to contact Microsoft.
    So I am posting this message here to the Palm fourm in hope that the software engineering team will see this and be able to either patch their software or give me the .reg key to break the association between WMP and PD6. Below I have posted a long list of my Chat support that explains the issues in further technical details, and also details the lack of detailed skilled support available at Palm.com.
    Help? Direction?
    I have my palm application directory installed to V:\PalmDesktop6App and the user data files installed to V:\jcollyer-files\PalmDataV6_001 This is a removable drive that I install on my work computer. I remove this drive and take it home with me. Doing this allows me the ability to keep my palm data secure but I can still use my computer at work to manage my palm data.
    If the V:\ drive is not mounted when I run palm desktop, Palm desktop messes up the "Path" regestry key:
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop\Core]
    "DesktopPath"="V:\\PalmDesktop6App\\"
    "HotSyncPath"="V:\\PalmDesktop6App\\Hotsync.exe"

    @=""
    "Desktop Language"="ENG"
    "INSTALLDIR"="V:\\PalmDesktop6App\\"
    "VM_Username"="John Collyer"
    When the key gets messed up it defaults to the standard palm desktop path:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\jcollyer\My Documents\Palm OS Desktop"
    I found this out because every time Windows Media player starts it tries to start Palm Desktop or the Palm Desktop install/remove program. I get a pop up window and progress bar that says “Palm Desktop by Access”. The only way to get rid of this pop up window is to shut down windows media player. So if my V: drive is not mounted just starting windows media player corrupts the user “Path” registry settings. It just so happens our work voicemail uses media player on the computer.

    Dan > Hello John_Collyer, Thank you for contacting Palm Technical Support. My name is Dan. How may I help you?
    John_Collyer > When the key gets messed up it defaults to the standard palm desktop path:
    "C:\Documents and Settings\jcollyer\My Documents\Palm OS Desktop"
    I found this out because every time Windows Media player starts it tries to start Palm Desktop or the Palm Desktop install/remove program. I get a pop up window and progress bar that says “Palm Desktop by Access”. The only way to get rid of this pop up window is to shut down windows media player. So if my V: drive is not mounted just starting windows media player corrupts the user “Path” registry settings. It just so happens our work voicemail uses media player on the computer. I am using window media player 11.
    What the heck is going on? How can I stop Windows Media Player from triggering the palm desktop application? Better yet why does it even try?
    It does this when I simply open windows media player, even without a file. Just opening the Windows Media player application by it’s self causes this behavior.
    Dan > Please let me go through the information you have provided.
    John_Collyer > Ok standing by...
    Dan > I understand that you have issue with the Palm Desktop and windows Media player getting messed up .
    Dan > Sure I will guide with the issue .
    Dan > May I know since when you are facing the issue ?
    Dan > Please let me know the Operating System you are using. Is it Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista or MAC?
    John_Collyer > I had this problem from the first install about two weeks. I use PalmDesktop 4 with my T2 for years on a removable drive never had an issue. PD6 only allows me to set the user path during installation. So I have been having issues with the reg keys getting messed up for a while. I though just creating a .reg file to fix the problems was going to be simple till I found windows media player was trying to autostart palm software???
    John_Collyer > Windows XP SP3
    John_Collyer > I am a new owner of the Palm Centro not using the T2 with PD6
    Dan > Thank you for information .
    Dan > I got the issue .
    Dan > There are more than one version of the Palm software in the computer .
    John_Collyer > No only PD6 now
    Dan > That's reason the Drivers in the Registry are messing up and causing the issue .
    Dan > Okay .
    Dan > Do you have any data in the Palm Desktop ?
    John_Collyer > Yes, when the V: drive is mounted everything works great, perfect. Windows Media player even load without a hitch. I would even deal with the .reg fix work around I made to over write the registry. I still don't understand why the application tries to load when it is installed on the V: drive if the v: drive is not present. It has to be the install/uninstall .msi file that runs the Add/Remove programs feature in widows control panel. Why does any of this change the user path?
    Dan > I will explain you .
    Dan > The reason for change of the path is with the corrupted applications and computer settings .
    John_Collyer > Sorry, Why would the .msi file run if Windows Media is started?
    Dan > .MSI file is the supporting file for Windows Media player .
    Dan > That's reason for executing of .msi file during the windows media player .
    Dan > To fix the issue we must perform clean uninstall and reinstall so that you will not have any further issue .
    Dan > Let me know if you are comfortable with the clean uninstall and reinstall if the Palm software .
    John_Collyer > I've uninstalled PD6 and reinstalled it like 12 times. If the V: drive is missing it really messes up the PD6 software. To keep me from doing this by launching PD6 from the C: drive I installed it to V:. No .exe no launchy. It works fine. What is hooking into windows media player. A .msi is a Microsoft install package, not a media file. We can do a clean install but why would running windows media player start the palm install/uninstall .msi file? I have not heard why?
    John_Collyer > All my installs have worked fine. Unless there is a deeper cleaning process you can help me with other than running the remove program, is it worth trying AGAIN?
    Dan > Did you perform clean uninstall and reinstall >
    John_Collyer > Clean = remove program, reinstall, and sync to a new user folder? Then Yes. Other options?
    Dan > No we need top perform few other steps .
    John_Collyer > Ok shall I "Remove Program"?
    Dan > No please wait .
    Dan > First please let me know if you have any data in the Palm Desktop in the computer .
    John_Collyer > Yes, but it is also going to be kept in the phone correct? It will survive if we create a new user folder right?
    Dan > Yes .
    Dan > Please let me know the user name given during the Sync .
    John_Collyer > Well then I think it is safe, I have recently hotsynced so the data should be a match?
    John_Collyer > John Collyer

    Dan > Please wait .
    Dan > Please right click on the Palm Desktop and then click on Properties .
    John_Collyer > the .exe in V:\PalmDesktop6App or the shortcut in start menu?

    Dan > Okay .
    Dan > Thank you for information .
    Dan > Please take the back of the Palm Desktop data in the computer .
    John_Collyer > Destop target = V:\PalmDesktop6App\Palm.exe tpp
    John_Collyer > ??? Please take the back of the Palm Desktop data in the computer
    Dan > I mean to tell you that we must save all data of the Palm Desktop in different location .
    Dan > I will assist you .
    Dan > In the computer open V:drive-->locate Palm folder .
    Dan > Open Palm folder and check if you have folder called CoolyJ .
    John_Collyer > V:\jcollyer-files\PalmDataV6_001\CollyeJ
    John_Collyer > No CoolyJ
    Dan > Okay .
    Dan > In the computer open Vrive-->Collerfiles-->Copy Palm folder and paste on the computer desktop .
    John_Collyer > done
    Dan > Okay .
    Dan > Do not delete the Pal folder that was copied to computer desktop .
    John_Collyer > ok
    Dan > First go to Start-->Control Panel-->Add/Remove Programs. There Palm or PalmOne or Palm Desktop will be listed. Click Remove against it.

    Did all this above. Still have Windows Media Player trying to launch the ACCESS .msi installer which creates these processes:
    IDriver.exe (x5)
    IdriverT.exe (x1)
    MSIexec.exe (x3)
    I have let windows media player and windows installer run a bit longer and I get a second window titled "windows installer" with the text:
    The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.
    Click OK to try again, or enter and alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Palm Desktop by ACCESS.msi' in the box below.
    [C:\DOCUME~1\jcollyer\LOCALS~1\Temp\_is4\]
    this is the default text.
    I browsed my way to C:\WINDOWS\Installer and found a new .msi for PD6 called C:\WINDOWS\Installer\45599.msi and renamed it to C:\WINDOWS\Installer\45599_PalmNeedsBetterSoftware​_msi
    Still have the same issues from above. I thought if the .msi failed to be found then the error might just get passed over. So I do not know where IDriver.exe or other MS Installer applications is getting the values for 'Palm Desktop by ACCESS.msi'?
    Again it is very odd that the ACCESS installer it trying to run when windows media player is launched (even with out any media, app only). Please do not tell me to do another "Clean Install" that is just BABY-TALK tech support at this point!!! I need to know why the PalmDesktop ACCESS installer is hooking into Windows Media Player. There is no doubt something odd is going on. As long as the V: drive where my Palm Desktop applications and user data is stored there is no problem. As soon as the V: drive is off line I have all these issues.
    I noticed that PalmDesktop now has advanced media tools to "Make Video" in the media tab of Palm Desktop. This is where you can export a .mpg slide show of all you photos from your palm photos.
    I would bet you a free year of Verizon's wireless data plan that the new Palm Desktop is registered as some type of client application to windows media service. When windows media player loads it tries to register all the clients and the Palm media client application is not available so some how MS Windows tries to start the PalmDesktop installer to fix the client media application.
    Please note that I am not using Pocket Tunes at all, not trying to sync pTunes with Windows media or Rhapsody or any other media junk. Right now I want my palm to just be a extra smart contact and calendar manager, that’s all.
    PALM NEEDS TO PATCH THIS. Palm Desktop should call Windows Media when it needs it, not have Palm Desktop registered as a client application to Windows Media by default!
    PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS A SIMPLE FAQ FIX FOR ALL NONSENSE???
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Thank you so much for replying.
    Yes I have removed and reinstalled WMP.
    I had good results with the PD6 application installed on the default path onto the C: drive with the one exception that if the application was launched by accident and the user data path was not available, the PD6 application would blow away my custom user path registry settings. Now that I know what they are I have made a .reg file to repair my registry to my desired user data paths.
    Installing the application on the removable drive appeared to help prevent me from launching the application by accident and overwriting my registry with default user paths.
    So which is the less of the two evils?
    If the application directory is not available, windows media player still tries to launch the .msi for installing PD6.
    If I install the application to the C: drive but the user data to the removable drive, launching the PD6 application without the user data drive will still corrupt my registry settings for a user data path.
    Both these issues seem like a logical (if not easy) fix that should be done in the PD6 application and installation package. I mean really, cannot anyone tell me why windows media player is checking the PD6 application directory? Why in PD4 did we have an option control for setting the user data path from the PD4 application? Why is this option not in the PD6 application, just the installer?
    I am given a choice during installation to move the user data to another non default location. Why else would this be provided if not to accommodate my kind of request to store the user data into an alternate location other than “My Document”. Certainly Palm is not trying to force the users on how to protect and store their personal data?

  • Windows 7 pro x64 and palm centro

     I'm running windows 7 pro X64 and the software installed just fine, but not the driver.  Does Palm have any plans for a solution?  Are there any third party drivers that will solve my problem without having to install a bluetooth device on my pc?  
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Hello rpiquette, Welcome to the Palm Support Community!
    Palm has moved away from their legacy operating system (PalmOS) and on to a new one called webOS.  Since Palm Inc. doesn't even own their own software anymore (Palm Desktop) I'd seriously doubt any further support will be forthcoming for Win7, especially for 64-bit architecture. 
    Palm Inc. has historically not divulged any "future plans" for software (or hardware).   Will a third-party develop a desktop client?  I have no idea at this point, but the opportunity certainly exists!

  • Palm Pre crazy symptoms: "phone offline", will not charge battery, will not start, error message "an error has occured that cannot be resolved"

    This is a long description of a series of problems with my new Palm Pre. You may wish to search the text to find your specific issue(s). There is no solution in my post. Look for possible answers in the responses to come.
    I bought my Palm Pre 4 days ago and it arrived 2 days ago. Phone worked great. Last night I plugged in the phone and updated the OS. After completion, I selected "Done" and went to bed.
    - First Series of Issues: "Phone Offline", will not charge battery -
    In upper lefthand corner of the phone there is the message "phone offline". Although the phone has been charging all night it reads "26% battery". I called the general Sprint tech support number and we tried the following things:
    1) Restart phone (press and hold power button, then select "turn off". after power down, press and hold power button to power on.)
    2) Reset the phone (several different ways - call tech support so that you do this correctly)
    The individual at Sprint then sent me to another tech support person, presumably 2nd tier.
    - Second Series of Issues: Error message "an error has occured that cannot be resolved" -
    Sprint tech support person #2 also had me restart and reset the phone in a number of ways. In her words "we've tried every palm pre trick I know" and each time the phone was unresponsive. Often we received the error message "phone is offline". We did a full erase and after that the phone would no longer restart. At this point the error message came up saying "an error has occured that cannot be resolved" which referred me to www.palm.com for assistance. I think it's important to note here that this was not the typical error message (black screen with white letters) but rather the blue sky background with a semitransparent box over it with white text.
    Sprint tech support person #2 then connected me with Palm support and the dance continued. Again we tried a whole bunch of resetting and restarting and erasing options. Palm support instructed me to go to: www.palm.com/rom to download WebOS Doctor, which I did. I downloaded the file. While that was happening he had me hold the "volume up" button and plug the phone into the charger. This caused a USB symbol to appear on the phone. When the file was complete I received an error message that the file couldn't run. Palm tech support person seemed surprised. I mentioned that I was on a Mac and he said he couldn't help me. He then transferred me to another Palm support person who works with Mac users.
    Palms tech support person #2 then informed me that I should have selected the "mac" download option on www.palm.com/rom. I verbally walked her through the whole series of webpages, telling her that it says that you need Windows (version whatever) or Mac (version whatever) but that at no time was there an option to download a different WebOS Doctor for different operating systems. After some more discussion she told me she would have to have someone call me back tomorrow.
    - Third Series of Issues: phone stuck on USB symbol -
    So at the moment the phone is completely useless. Not fantastic. I booted up the mac in Windows 7 and downloaded WebOS Doc and received the same error. I also ran Windows Vista virtually and received the same error. Later this afternoon I'm heading into work to try the same thing on Windows XP.
    In the meantime, I got onto this forum and located a thread that provided a direct link to the necessary file:
    palm.cdnetworks.net/staging/rom/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar
     After downloading that file, which I realized could totally be a virus, I was able to get WebOS Doc working on my computer. It required that I recharge the phone completely before beginning and now it's on the screen that says "Don't disconnect your phone" and the file is at 3% complete. Only... it's been at 3% complete for almost 30 minutes.
    I am hoping that Palm will follow up with me tomorrow, but I'm leaving at 7am on a business trip and would love to have the thing working. Any suggestions are welcome, even if you can just tell me how to get the think disconnected safely before my flight tomorrow. I don't fancy getting through security with my phone wired to my laptop.
    Thanks.

    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hello and welcome to the forums;
    Our phone support is open every day Monday through Sunday, although there are different hours of operation for the weekend. If after a webOS Doctor reset you are still experiencing the same problems, I would likely recommend replacement, either in a local store for your carrier or through our technical support department.
    There may be additional technical support offered or suggested over the phone, this would need to be done first before a replacement could be issued.
    Hope this helps,

  • Dear Palm: What I'd like in the next update

    We know that webOS and the Palm Pre are 1.0 1.1 products, so we’re going to cut you some slack for now. But that slack is starting to run out, and looking at the competition there are some areas where I think you could improve the Pre to both catch up to and leap frog over iPhone and BlackBerry and Android. So here’s what I'd like to see in the way of software updates before that slack runs out and the real complaining starts.
    My list is after the break, and it’s by no means comprehensive. Feel free to sound off in the comments if there’s something you think should be added in!
    Oh, and Palm, this isn't an ultimatum or anything. It's a wishlist. Of stuff I want. So consider it a shopping list, and you're the grocery store. Some things we can do without, but others are staple items that we need to get through the week, and if you don't have it, we might have to go across town to the other grocery to get it. After a while, that can get kind of old and we might consider just going to the other store. We don't want to, as it's simply not as nice, but they have a lot of what we need.
    Alert Tones. I can only take so much of “da-ding” before I lose my mind wondering if it’s an email or a text message or a low battery alert or... we need the option to change these tones. And not just “pick a new alert tone,” no, the ability to pick different tones for different alerts. And like we can assign specific ringtones to individual callers, the option to assign a tone to an email account (X for Gmail, Y for Exchange, etc) would be great. To a specific contact, even better.
    App Catalog. As your  posting of the Mojo SDK and anticipated expansion of the App Catalog would seem to indicate, you’re on your way to getting a full-on developer community going. That’s all well and good, but your application store needs some serious work. First off is speed: while once up it works just fine, the load time is interminably long for something that is more or less just a specialized web browser. Second is content: we seriously need more applications. Yes there's side-loading homebrew fun, but for 90% of your users the App Catalog is going to be their primary source of apps.
    Autocorrection Software. While I do really like having a physical keypad, there’s something to be said for a robust autocorrection database. And that something to be said is, "Hey, that's kind of cool."
    Cut, Copy, and Paste. It took Apple a while to get it working, but I’ve got to admit, they got it right. We need the ability to copy uneditable text, i.e. a website. Or a received text message. Simply put, this half-measure implementation of cut, copy, and paste in webOS isn’t going to cut it for long (pun only partly intended).
    Backup. Either I need an option to back up my applications and data on my computer, or Palm Backup needs to be updated such that when I have to reset/replace my phone I don’t have to spend half an hour reconfiguring all the settings that were lost. That means contact link associations, calendar colors, and third-party application settings. You don’t need to back up everything (like photos and music), but it won’t take a huge server investment on your part to build a more robust back-up solution.
    Battery Life. Simply put, it’s not good enough. My Pre - with a Seidio extended battery – still barely makes it through a long day on the road. There are only so many things I can turn off before it stops being useful.
    Bluetooth. OBEX. Now. Don’t be all authoritarian on us and not let us send our contact information or files over Bluetooth. This is a smartphone that you want people to use for business things. Like actually exchanging contact information over something other than Facebook. Beside that, OBEX support would let me easily transfer files and the like without hassling with trying to connect to a computer with WiFi.
    Calendar Attendees. Roger McNamee said our Pre would be able to track our location and alert meeting attendees that we were running late. While that would be fantastic, we aren’t expecting that option to appear any time soon, perhaps we can start down that path by giving us the option to add calendar appointment attendees.
    Camera Options. If my Treo 650 could do it, then my Pre should be able to do it, no? We need the ability to adjust resolution of photos, as well as color options (the old standbys of sepia and black-and-white and the like). If you want to give us some more in-depth options, like white balance and saturation adjustment, or even the ability to adjust just how much post-processing the awesome camera chip does, that’d be fine too.
    Context Linking. This is a slightly more advanced request, but this is also a modern smartphone with a powerful operating system. If I enter a phone number, address, or email in a note or memo, the phone needs to notice what it is and give me options to call/text, map, or email with that data.
    Email Formatting. This is a two-fold update. One: dark blue is classy and all, but I like basic black as the default. Two: this screwy reply/forward formatting has got to end. When I forward an email to a colleague, I want them to get the same email that I got.
    Email Sort. While full email search should be built into Universal Search, there are some search options that need to be built into the email application. Let me sort by more than just date and flagged - how about the option to see just unread messages, or messages from Joe?
    External Notifications. If I walk away from my phone and come back a while later and missed a call, plus four emails and two text messages, I have no way of knowing until I turn the phone on. Our enterprising homebrew developer community has figured out how to hack the center button light so that it lights up on new alerts, so we know it won’t be that hard to implement.
    Google Maps. It works on all manner of other devices, so it’s time to add Street View and Latitude features to the webOS version of Google Maps. Additionally, transit and pedestrian mapping options would certainly be nice. And as webOS apps are supposed to be saving all the time, let Google Maps pick up right where it left off after closing the card. It’s one of those things to make it just that much faster.
    Landscape Mode. It’s nice and all to have it in the browser, but it’s time to start adding landscape mode to more applications, like email, memos, and Doc and PDF View. Also, I need to be able to easily access menus while sideways, what use is an accelerometer-enabled phone if it's handicapped when rotated?
    Launcher. We know it can be done, so just flip the switch and let us to add more launcher pages and be done with it.
    IM Clients. The framework is there, it’s time to flip the switch and give us more than AIM and Google Talk. Give us Windows Live and Yahoo to start, and then some of the more obscure options like ICQ and Facebook chat.
    Media Sync. Apple has taken their ball and gone home, and while a cat-and-mouse game of fixing and breaking iTunes synchronization certainly is fun, especially for us at PreCentral, we’re don't want to have to deal with our media synchronization abilities being broken and fixed all the time. So build in some more options for how we sync our media, or even just build your own media sync plugin for all variety of programs. On that same note, it's a little silly that iTunes is the only way to transfer a playlist to my phone - there's no reason this shouldn't work over USB too.
    Music Player. First off we need the option to remember playback locations, especially for podcasts and audiobooks. Secondly, in that same vein, we need the option to scrub along the playback slider (like it’s actually a slider) to scrub through a song.
    Notifications. Before I say this, I want to say that the notification bar is absolutely fantastic. It’s one of webOS’s best features, in my not so humble opinion. But... it doesn’t work in landscape. We don’t need a persistent landscape notification bar, but when I get an email while browsing in landscape mode, all I get is a chime and buzz. Add in a landscape pop-up bar just to tell me what happened (and then it can go away) and we’ll be set.
    Phone As Modem. You said it was going to work at launch, and we know it can work, but Sprint clearly has put the kibosh on the official solution we know you can implement. Talk to them, we’ll pay if you at least give us the choice. That's more money for Sprint, and we know they’d like that. We need Bluetooth and USB solutions, and if you can get us WiFi hot-spot-ish capabilities, you might just get a big hug from yours truly.
    Scroll Bar. The inertial flick scrolling is nice and all, but sometimes I have a really long webpage or list and repeatedly flicking and flicking and flicking gets rather irritating. A controllable scroll bar would do wonders for this qualm. It doesn’t even have to be persistent like the Palm OS of old, in fact I’d prefer it not. Here’s an example: I flick to start scrolling and a translucent scroll bar appears, then I can grab onto it and slide all the way down the page to where I want to be. When I release, it fades away. Magic, no?
    Sprint Navigation. It’s nice that I can map a contact’s address directly from their contact entry, but when you have the actually-pretty-decent Sprint Navigation application included, why on Earth can’t I send the address over there for real navigation? Same goes for Calendar event locations.
    Syncing Tasks/Memos. Being able to sync my tasks with Exchange is nice and all, if I have an Exchange account. But what of us that don’t? Maybe Google Tasks would be a good option, especially now that it’s out of beta. Additionally, applications like Memos need some sort of syncronization option for PC-based editing, even if that has to be through my Palm Profile.
    Text Messages. Forwarding. Really.
    Undo. This goes along with the upgraded cut, copy, and paste request. There are times when I hit delete and utter expletives at my idiocy. With a simple undo command I’d live a life with less profanity.
    Universal Search. Make. It. Universal. Applications, contacts, and the web are fun and all, but you guys in Sunnyvale need to make it truly universal. I should be able to search my emails and memos and tasks. And if you really want to go wild and crazy, allow third-party applications to join the search mix. All of this information of course means we’re going to need some Universal Search options to filter and order things the way we need them.
    Video Recording. It took Apple two years to get it on the iPhone. We don’t necessarily need fancy video editing tools (but we won’t complain if we get them), but the hardware is more than capable of supporting video recording.
    Virtual Keyboard. At least for landscape mode. Don’t get me wrong, I love the physical keyboard, but I like options.
    Visual Voicemail. Sprint licensed visual voicemail to work on the Samsung Instinct, so it’s time to get them to do it for the Pre. I don’t want to use the excuse of “the iPhone has it,” but it does. So does the BlackBerry Storm.

    I think this is an excellent indicator that not only is Palm reviewing the feedback from the support forums here, but actively reviewing feedback/comments/wishes on other sites as well.
    As the original poster copied this (quite solid, IMO) wishlist from Pre Central, the palm support staff acknowledged first seeing it there.

  • Palm! Where can I find a fully-functional Pre Plus????

    Yes, I've posted this in a sub-topic and now I'm creating a new thread because I've had enough!  I once considered myself a big time Palm supporter - but I do not know how much more I can keep my head up with this Pre Plus.
    I'm spending WAY too much time at the Verizon store and not enough time with my phone at work.  I'm very close to returning everything. I love webos but cannot bear to deal with this palm hardware anymore.  The shady construction and poor build quality on ALL of the phones I've received over the past 3 weeks has left me with no confidence anymore in the hardware.
    I have had my first phone returned with network problems - the phone would not receive data and the camera on the back was in the lower right corner of the opening - as if someone dropped it.  I returned this phone, only to get another phone with keyboard problems and sporadic lockups.   Today I just went into the Verizon store to replace the last defective one, only to receive yet another defective one.  The left side of the display was seriously discolored. I showed the technician at Verizon and he agreed there was an obvious problem. He then took my phone back a 3rd time, replaced it with another one and it still has a light bleeding/discoloring problem on the left side. It's not as bright as the first one, but it's definitely there.  I also see some light issues on the bottom of the screen as well (The discoloration is easily seen when going through interactive tests and displaying the "green" color.  The Verizon store was just as frustrated as I was but wouldn't let me get yet another device from their store and told me that this was a feature of the phone.  The gentlemen I worked with apologized severely, knowing it was definitely a build quality, but also admitting that he couldn't do anything because the store manager was done giving me more phones. His reaked of embarrassment!  I was tired of arguing with them, even KNOWING my first two phones did not have this problem and their floor model didn't either.  They even tried to convince me that the floor models are different... whatever!  I took the phone and left and now I am dealing with even more issues. (Been working on this phone today for over 8 hours)  I cannot get it to sync with my google calendar anymore (despite all the forums suggestions), and icons are being thrown all over my launcher (appearing then disappearing, etc)
    I'm really upset that now I paid this much for a phone and I can't even get a good quality unit. I've spent well over 30 hours with defective phones, between driving to the stores, waiting in the stores and testing them on the road.  I've fallen WAY behind at work dealing with these issues and having to read all the forums online for fixes to problems for a BRAND NEW PHONE.
    Palm - you have a SERIOUS manufacturing problem with your hardware.  I won't even go near the GPS problems.  I've already accepted the fact that GPS doesn't work on any Pre Plus phones (how sad is that?).  I've tested it on all 4 devices I've received, not to mention the 2 additonal floor models in the Verizon stores, and NADA.  It either doesn't work at all or it's about 1/2 to 1 mile off.
    I'm beginning to think the PLUS in PRE means MORE PROBLEMS.
    I just can't keep going back to the stores, this is frustrating!!!!!  I only have less than a week before 30 days is up.
    I'm not one to complain like this, but I've just about had it.
    PALM - WHERE CAN I GET A FULLY FUNCTIONAL PRE PLUS?!?!?!

    I sure hope you bought to $7.99 protection plan...

  • How to sync my Zire 31 with the palm Desktop Software on a Windows 7 PC

    Hi everybody
    My notebook died (vista) so I had to buy a Windows 7 hp model.
    Now I could install the software but the PC doesn't recognize my handheld device.
    A sync is not possible.
    Can anybody tell me how I can make my device known to the system or do I have to leave the Palm world altogether an buy me an ipod?
    I would really like to keep syncing with my palm.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have Palm Desktop 4.2.2.  In month view of date book, there are blanks between entries.  Sometimes entries are obscured/out of view but would be viewable if I could move them into empty space for that day.  Any way to move entries into blank lines/spaces?  I have tried entering times/no times, repeat/no repeat.  Doesn't seem to make a difference.  Wasted space that could be used for viewable entries.  Help would be appreciated.  Thank You

  • Sync Palm With Lotus Notes 8.5.1 Using EasySync 4.2.7: Calendar does not show location

    I have a Garmin iQue3600, which is basically a Palm III with a GPS built in.  I could sync my Outlook 2007 contacts and calendar flawlessly.  (Palm Sync 6.0.1, Palm Desktop 4.1.4). Company was purchased, now we are using Lotus Notes 8.5.1.  No native Palm support, so I tried EasySync 4.2.7.  This actually works pretty well, except that the calendar entries do not sync the location of the meeting; this is rather important to me.
    Is there a setting somewhere that can fix this?  Years ago I used Intellisync to do this, but that company is gone now.
    Someone suggested Companionlink, but the on-line reviews for that product are pretty bad.
    Thank you.

  • Palm Desktop by Access 6.2.2: Palm IIIxe won't sync to WinXP but Zire Z22 will

    No device
    Palm IIIxe with OS 3.5.3 and Z22 with OS Garnet 5.4.9 and Palm Desktop by Access 6.2.2 on a WinXP SP2 box. Z22 appears to sync correctly and the IIIxe SAYS it's syncing but the Palm desktop account is blank.
    I think I need to roll back to an earlier version of Palm desktop, e.g. 4.14. If so, can I first uninstall 6.2.2?
    The Palm support website says, "Do not un-install previous versions of Palm Desktop. If you have an existing version of Palm Desktop on your computer, leave it as-is, and install this version on top of it."
    Thanks for any help.
    John

     Your Palm IIIxe wont show the pims because hotsync 6.2.2 only allows the newer pim format. There is a free addon application from Pimlico called PalmHotsyncSetup that may allow you to sync with it.  PalmHotsyncSetup

  • Can't install Palm Desktop 4.14, 4.2 or 6.2

    Help!
    I can not install any version of Palm Desktop.  I had a working version of 6.2, but with Palm support, tried to uninstall and reinstall 4.2 (for compatibility reasons).  After several weeks everyone has given up.  I run Windows XP Pro, SP3, am the only user on my computer, have admin rights and do NOT have a handheld.  I only use the desktop for the calendar and address book.  Now I am lost without it.
    I have uninstalled using Add/Remove Programs, deleted Palm and PalmOne folders, deleted every single Palm entry in the registry over and over again.  When I try to reinstall, the install stops after the Finish window, but does not continue to the second step which continues the installation with the hotsync options.  This is where I would tell it to skip.  The Palm.exe and many dlls never get installed on my computer. 
    Obviously, there is something on my computer that is still remaining.  I've seen several posts with the same question, but not an answer that helps.  Any thought would be most appreciated.  Short of reinstalling the operating system and all software.
    TIA.

    I am running CA (Computer Associates) Anti-Virus.  It used to be called eTrust.  Windows Defender is running also.  The case is 51395405621.  It started on one computer but ended up trying to reinstall 4.2 on mine.  I should have left 6.2 on my computer, but didn't.  We were trying to get everyone on the same version because we share the calendar.  Most of us do NOT sync to a handheld. 
    Yesterday, I tried installing in safe mode, but it didn't help.  Here's what I have tried over the past several weeks (in no particular order):  I have uninstalled using Add/Remove programs.  I have deleted every Palm, PalmOne and Palm Desktop folder.  I tried copying the .exe program from another computer.  It tried to start the program but gives and Invalid Configuration error.  I can't remember the exact error, but when I researched it, the information I found had to do with administrator rights.  But I'm the only user on the computer and I have admin. rights.  I also tried installing in safe mode as administrator.
    The closest we came is it tries to start Palm Desktop, but gives the error...Invalid Configuration...  The splash window for Palm Desktop is an old version per the tech.  I didn't look familiar to me, but it was blue and white and the date at the bottom was 2002.  He couldn't figure out where it was coming from.  So there is obviously something left on my computer that we can't get rid of.  Or find.  That is the closest we came to getting the program to start.  The tech downloaded 4.2 and 6.2 from the Palm website thinking our versions might be corrupt.  We ran several utility programs to clean the registry (USBregclean) and another one from Microsoft.  (I can't remember what it did.)  I talked to Microsoft tech support and my Windows Installer is NOT the problem.  It's working fine.  The Palm tech took over my computer, added himself as a user, installed under his login.  He and I have both deleted every single entry for Palm in the registry. This went on for over 2 weeks.  He finally gave up and said there wasn't anything more he could do.
    Right now, it's uninstalled, but there are some entries in the registry relating to Palm QuickInstall.  I would be happy with absolutely any version installed so I can get into my data again.
    Thanks.

  • WINDOWS VISTA 64-Bit PALM SYNC

    I just bought a brand new Dell 1440Z for school. I was super excited to sync my palm centro to it. After lots of screwing around I ended up on Palms Support pages only to find you cannot use a USB cable to sync with a 64 bit windows OS. I don't have Bluetooth capability or infared on my Cpu. It would appear I'm just out of luck ~?? I wonder why I bought a new phone hat will not Synce with a new laptop. Does Palm plan on doing anything about this other then telling people to use Bluetooth?
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Hello and welcome to the forums -
    At this time, there is no information on whether or not USB support may be an option in the future, so the only options available at this time for 64-bit systems (and this will include Windows 7 64-bit versions) are Bluetooth or IR. This is because there are no compatible USB drivers. Many users have had success in using a Bluetooth adapter, available at many online and physical retailers for very cheap.
    Hope this helps and good luck,
