Palm Treo Pro running Palm OS software

I am considering getting a Palm Treo Pro, and the gentleman at the Sprint store told me that they will run both Windows Mobile software and Palm OS software. Palm's website does not state this and I wanted to confirm this before purchasing.

And although a program might run correctly in the StyleTap emulator, there is no guarantee any of them will Sync correctly...
The salesman was definitely stretching the truth...

Which sync software downloads do I use for Palm treo pro?

Hi ! I mentioned before on the forums I have a used palm treo pro. I have just realised I do not have the synchronisation software. I looked on the net and found different windows synching softwares 'free' for windows. Am I supposed to look for the software which states it works for the 6.1 windows mobile operating system (on palm treo pro)as I cannot see that sort of thing recommended on the different downloads. The link below seems to be the closest but I cannot imagine a mobile running 6.1 windows using this. I am fairly clueless as I have never synced before. I am going to hotsync some CoPilot sat nav software . Can someone help me out. Thanks very much ! http://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-ActiveSync/3000-2094_4-10031823.html
Also just to say this is what I am attempting with CoPilot- http://www.alk.eu.com/buynow/download-instructions.htm . Scrolling down this link to the title under STEP 2 saying Alternative method it shows the type of hotsyncing I need to do. Anyone with any knowledge should understand this and hopefully could advise. I have put the link in this message as I am looking for the correct hotsync software.
Thanks again!

Alpine23, I've moved your post from the Windows HotSync section to here, due to the fact your device does not use that software - "Hotsync" refers to devices that run PalmOS.
Your device runs Windows Mobile. What you use to sync it depends on the operating system on your computer. Older OS's like Windows XP use a program called "Microsoft ActiveSync". Newer computers running Vista or Win7 use "Windows Mobile Device Center:

Palm's support pages have lots of information and videos to help you get more acquainted with your device:

Transfer data from Palm LifeDrive to Palm Treo Pro (Unlocked)

Hi, as it says in the title, i want to transfer data from Palm LifeDrive to Palm Treo Pro, how can i do that? do i need a special software?
Thank you in advance.
Ivan Rodriguez.
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850U (Unlocked)

You can do this 2 different ways. You can set your Palm Desktop software to sync to Outlook, and then sync your LifeDrive to outlook. You would then be able to just sync the Outlook data to you Treo Pro. The other option would be to purchase Chapura Pocket Copy software, and this will copy the data in the Palm DT application to Outlook. Once again you would just sync your Treo Pro to Outlook. You can get the Pocket Copy application from Chapura.com

Palm Treo Pro New SMS

Is there any programs or settings one can change to add some notification for new SMS? Most other phones have a blinking LED or a message floating on the screen saver for new SMS and emails, but the Treo Pro has nothing.
I often have my phone setting aside and when in sleep mode, I am unaware of new messages or emails until I turn the phone off sleep mode.

NEW PALM TREO PRO - WinOS or PalmOS?

--Originally under practice board. I found out the practice board was being deleted/ updated regularly--
Hello,
I've been a loyal palm user for the past 7 years. The reason being is that I LOVE the functionality of PALM OS. So my question is.. why use Windows mobile?! Is it because you are targeting corporate america and most of the users use Windows? I think the reason why Palm has been so successful in the past (well to me.. that is) is because you are different. Everyone is loving the iphone but i still think it lacks the functionality that the treo pro has (like video capture).
I don't like WINDOWS! I want the treo pro to be able to sync to my Mac! Windows is so unstable. You must be saying to yourself, well this guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Windows has been around for awhile and it provides users end to end applications. Well I am a bioinformatician and i have used many different applications and operating systems. I think one of the best mobile OS out there is Palm. So do not be afraid that the majority of consumers prefer windows mobile rather than palm. The main reason is that most haven't been exposed to the OS and hasn't given it a chance to grow on themselves. Palm OS will be the new mac in mobile technology. Develop the Palm OS and make the necessary upgrades and your company will grow just like apple did. Mac has been the major use for most universities and corporate offices. So please, as a PALM company... you need to market PALM OS. You are already in the lead because your competition (blackberry) doesn't even have their own OS.
I hate windows.
Your friend,
mac and palm addict.
UPDATE:
Sorry but I have to voice my concerns about the Windows Mobile OS on the new Treo Pro.
Please go here: http://blog.palm.com/palm/2008/08/meet-the-treo-p.html
There are a lot of Palm Users who prefer PalmOS. So why not make your current customers happy? Obviously, the happier your current customers will be the more we will advertise (by word of mouth) and gloat to our competitors that our device is more proficient. Which will in turn lead to new users who are targeted to buying the treo because of PalmOS. (Quality and loyal customers you will have )
I would just like to know other members' opinions on this and who would prefer a palmOS over a WinOS. So please give me your feedback.
Post relates to: Treo 680 (Unlocked GSM)

I have been a loyal Palm user for the last 8 years, my first device was a monochrome model Vx. Those were the days when you carried the PDA in one hand and the cel phone on the other. I have upgrated my hardware since then, from the Vx to my current 680, passing through models like the Tungsten T and the 650. When Palm PDA´s evolved to smartphones and I got my 650 it was, gadgetwise, the happiest days of my life.
Meanwhile other brands and models made their appearence in the smartphone market but I always remained a faithfull user of Palm. I've had the 680 for over a year now, and have been expecting the release of a newer model based on Palm OS.
Recently I heard that Palm is to discontinue their OS and stick to Windows Mobile. One of the main reasons is the inability to make Wi-Fi and GPS run integrated on a Palm OS driven device, which is actually one of their biggest con's. Those news, if true, are sad and very disapointing.
Right now I am evaluating if my next device will be a Blackberry or a Windows Mobile smartphone. The only issue with RIM is that is not touchscreen, a big flaw, although apparently they are to release a touchscreen device by next year. HTC is launching a device that runs on Google's new Linux based Android. I've seen the the announcement of the lattest Treo Pro and it looks prettty cool, though a little expensive. If Palm OS is no longer to be available then Palm devices are not longer a must for me either. Better said, I don´t think I'll ever want to hear of Palm if they discontinue (which also means to stop developing and enhancing) Palm OS.
I still can't believe I'm bound to go through the painful and disturbing process of migrating and getting used to a different OS. Palm DeskTop is always the first to start on my Windows laptop. I wish Palm had the courage and the ethics to clarify these rumors and their intention so we can start taking action, it would help them redeem for their detraction.

Cannot send email with Palm Treo Pro

Hi,
We have a Palm Treo Pro that was previously configured to sync with exchange 2003 and at the same time also had an IMAP email account setup for another email address. We have since removed the Exchange email account and only have the IMAP account configured. Since removing the exchange account we can no longer send email from the phone, but can receive fine. The error we get when trying to send is listed below.
"The message(s) could not be sent. Check that you have network coverage and that you account information is correct then try sending again"
The connection is fine because we can receive email and browse fine. The account information is also correct. We are using the SMTP server settings for the phones provider and that requires no authentication. I have also tried a different SMTP server with the appropriate user credentials but still get that message.
I have contacted the phone provider (Telstra) but they were no use.
We did have to load on a self signed certificate to get the exchange email working and I dont know whether this is causing any issues.
If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated

Change my text tone for a palm treo pro

Is there a way to change the texting rington on the Palm Treo Pro to something other than the few items they allow you to choose from.
I want to set Alarm4 as my text alert and it only gives me a few. Alarm4 is allowed in a few other notification options, but not on the text message one. Can I move a default alarm for one time to another item?

I have the 800w, but it's the same version of Windows Mobile, so I think the following might apply to your phone, too.
Alarm4 is a .wma-format file, while the old-style alerts are MIDI format file. I don't know why, but some of the notification drop-downs list both, and some list just MIDI files. But they all list some ring tones that I downloaded from Microsoft. Hmmm...
In File Explorer, my downloaded ring tones are in My Device\Application Data\Sounds. So if you were able to copy Alarm4 into that folder, you might be able to assign it to any notification.
I can't see any way to copy files in File Explorer. You might need to do it through ActiveSync or a third party file manager.
If you experiment with this, let us know how it goes.

Disable URL Drop-down in IE on Palm Treo Pro?

One of the biggest frustrations I have with my (Sprint) Treo Pro is that when I enter a URL directly in the URL bar in IE, the program puts up a drop-down that offers suggestions for matching URLs. This would be a fine option -- and it is on a desktop PC -- except that at least on my Palm it takes so long to generate these lists that, depending on the URL, it can take multiple seconds for it to so much as echo each character I type. It can be particulary bad when editing a long URL; I've taken to googling URLs because it doesn't take so long to type them into Google's search box. The question I have is, is there any way to simply turn this feature off?
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Sprint)

There was no setting that I could find in our lab Treo Pro. There could be a 3rd party program that can turn this off for you or even using a different web browser completely.

Need technical help for Palm Treo Pro

I am currently using a Palm Treo Pro. The handheld keeps turning on Airplane mode automatically when I was talking on the phone. This happens quite frequently but it never happen when I was talking through Bluetooth hand-free.
I called up the local support centre but they simply told me to exchange a new one at DHL station. The problem now still exists with my new handheld. Just wanna know what I should do... Thank you.
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850U (Unlocked)

Hi Alan,
Firstly, thanks for your reply.
I have tried to hard reset my device and even exchange a new handheld. The situation remains the same. For the past two days, the same problem occured five time in total.
How can a phone turn on the Airplane Mode automatically during a call? This is really distributing and it is totally unacceptable. I have tried to call the tech centre but no one in there could help me. They just told me to exchange a new one, which I had done before.
Hope someone can help me up.

Bluetooth code for Palm Treo Pro

I am trying to connect my Palm Treo Pro and the bluetooth hands free on my Mercedes. What is the code to allow authorisation between the phone and car? I have tried to set up from both directions and have tried the standard codes 0000, 1122, 1234 etc and none work. I assumed that so long as the codes matched it didn't matter but this doesn't appear to be the case but I can reauthorise with my old phoen so the problem seems to be with the Pam settings. I can't see how to make the phone discoverable but can see the options to turn on the bluetooth and make visible. The car and phone can find each other but can't seem to handshake. Any suggestions most welcome!

Continue Support for PALM Treo PRO Please

It's Like Palm Treo Pro was left out to Dry. Palm, I have been a Palm customer since your first Treo and I have never seen such a horrible thing to do to your faithfull customers
I suggest Palm to try to have a group work on an WebOS like the pre; For the Treo Pro (who went thru a rapped replacement with the Pre then the Pixi after customers belived in Palm with its last TREO). The Treo Pro, which is a good phone, but with little or no support since it came out.
Make an anauncment for this support or an Upgrade or Recall for those customeres all around the world.
Hey "HP", if your the new owner of Palm then have the Treo Pro as an example of good business with HP treo, have Microsoft upgrade this phone, the Palm Treo Pro W850 to the new Windows Mobile 7 for the Treo Pro. Hope to here from you soon.

The Treo Pro is a good WinMoPro 6.1 phone. As far as I know, that is all it will ever be.
You can't bring webOS to a the Treo Pro's 320x320 resistive touchscreen; it wouldn't be the same experience at all, even if it worked.
To me, WinMoPro 6.1 feels more productive than WinMo 6.5. If you miss the improved IE, you can improve your web experience with the Skyfire browser, or Opera Mobile. The usefulness of Win7 remains a question mark, but I doubt the Treo Pro satisfies its hardware requirements.

Pairing my Palm Treo Pro with my car

I keep trying to pair my treo with my car (bluetooth) and it asks for a code - I have no code so press next - it then says I can't connect incorrect code, but my car system then gives me a code that I enter in - and it says I cannot connect, incorrect code!
I had this problem with my last Treo and then soemone else paired it for me as they had a code from an engineer which allows you then to enter the car code - does anyone know the code? I have tried 0000 and 1234 and 9999 - any suggestions?

In the Outlook setup mode,as I said it ONLY downloaded what I had on my Computer in outlook.
Do you know of a way to have it actually get real time mail via the outlook settings vice a pop3?
As far as I know, Windows Mobile doesn't offer that. I think you will need two accounts set up. One will be sync'd with Outlook for Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks (Email would be optional here). The other would be a standard POP3 account to retrieve and send email in real time. Unfortunately, the Sent Items on that account will not be sync'd to Outlook

You can use the Wireless/Connection Manager to turn different radios (CDMA, wi-fi) on and off. If you tap the connection icon at the top of the home screen, you can access it from there. You might need to turn off your cellular data connection in order to take advantage of wi-fi, but you might want to check the user guide, as it might be the other way around.

Alltel Palm Treo Pro picture messaging

I have followed the instructions, made sure thru Alltel I still had picture messaging and still can't send a picture message. It seems as if it is being sent properly- when it arrives the screen is only white with my signature on the bottom. After sending it also seems to lock up my Today screen if I attempt to see messages. The picture sent is one taken with the phone- it goes out under 300k, and with the white screen it shows up as a 1k; but if you go to the sent file it show up still at 300k. The phone is new- so there is no memory issues Any help would really be appreciated
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Alltel)

My wife has this exact phone and has the exact same problem, did anyone ever solve this. We have alltel. THis is rediculous, a brand new phone and all over advertises that you can picture video and text message with it but of course as usual it is lies. Just like all the other BS alltel has pulled on me. I digress. Palm Pro has newest arcsoft on it and video messages do receive as well as pictures sent though email account using the phone but a real picture message mms just shows up white screen with sig at bottom. When looked at with file explorer on my htc and on my other palm the "attachment" is only 1k and is named temp. WTF is going on here does anyone know?

Telstra Palm Treo Pro & Whereis Navigator problem

Hi, hoping this might save some time for other Telstra users subscribing to Whereis Navigator to take advantage of the GPS capability of the Palm Treo Pro.
The problem: when trying to open Whereis Navigator there was intermittant account (you subscribe to Telstra for this service) authorisation problems. The error message was along the lines (can't recall verbatim), "can't verify account authorisation, please try again later".The solution: On treo, open internet explorer, go to wap.telstra.comthen to 'my account', then 'Locational preferences', then 'my location settings', then tick 'allow me to be located' and 'allow a GPS location'. After this was done, no more problems.

Further update on above posts from problems during WhereisNavigator critical updates.
This from garmin/Telstra;
"Please have the customer try the following: ·
Open Internet Explorer on their device.·
Go to settings and clear the browser cache (not having the device in front of me at the moment, I can’t give more specific directions)·         Re-start Whereis Navigator and click View Details·
Click the download link If this still fails, a secondary solution is to have the customer enter the following URL directly in to their browser: http://offboardnav.whereis.com This will take them to the same download site, but will remove the extra step of opening the application. "
Once I cleared the browser cache, the critical update install from the 'view details' prompt of the update within WhereisNavigator worked fine. Note on this occasion it didn't work (as it has with previous critical update istall problems) to navigate to the URL  http://offboardnav.whereis.com and install directly.
