Palm treo 750 will not pair with Motorola H500

I followed all directions and the Palm recognized it but refused the passkey (0000) which was in the instructions. Now it won't recognize the device at all. Help!
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

I have no other Bluetooth devices at all and nothing will pair with it and I followed the directions to the letter as have several other knowledgeable people, one being the AT&T tech in the store. You say the connection is locked to the last device paired. Is it possible that it's locked on the device even though the passkey didn't work? Can it be in some kind of limbo - recognized but not paired and the connection is locked? I don't know all the technology about that - but something happened when I tried to pair it the first time - it recognized it just fine and then rejected the passkey and it won't pair with anything, even a Palm earpiece. Of course, if that were the case, any of the 3 master resets I have performed should have cleared that huh? There are no devices listed and both devices are fully charged. The ebayer who sold me the phone is willing to let me return it so if you have any other ideas, please let me know. Thanks.

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.

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.

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.

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?
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/treo/680/unlocked/solutions/article/10807_en.html
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.

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.

Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

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.

Sd card & the palm treo 680

i have the palm treo 680. when i put an sd card into it to listen to music, it reads the card but does not play the music ????(??%$?$#$!. what am i not doing?
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Rogers)

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!

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.

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."
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

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.

Treo 755p will not go to voicemail

My Treo 755p will not go to voice mail even when the "ignore" button is used. Instead, it calls a phone that used call forwarding to transfer calls to my Treo 755p. Both are Sprint phones. Call forwarding has been cancelled using *720 w/o affecting my problem.

Have you checked with your carrier about this to see if your voice mail is setup on the 755p? Is the 755p setup to forward any calls it gets or you decline?

The HotSync feature in Palm Treo 680

Since last Wednesday, the HotSync feature has been operating continously and will not stop. I have done the
HotSync with my computer but it keeps on doing it. How do I get it to quit doing the operation automatically
(it is not being done manually.... just an endless loop).
Thanks.
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

Ok, after the hard reset it should get it back to factory defaults and stop any looping. When you did the hard reset, did it prompt you to erase all data? If it did and you went through the setup screens then the hard reset was correct.
The only other thing that can cause the hotsync looping may be water damage or the connector on the bottom of the Treo may be dirty or corroded.
Look at the cable connector on the bottom of the Treo. Is there any debris, corrosion, etc. You can try and clean the connector with a lintfree cloth and some alcohol. Take out the battery before you clean the connector. Before powering up make sure the connector is dry.
If that doesn't work then the Treo needs to be repaired.
