Palm Z22 Battery Charging

Is it ok to have the Palm Z22 "on" while charging?  Since it is on, I am able to see a broken battery icon at the top of the screen.  Do I charge the unit until it no longer shows the broken icon?  I was told last time to charge it 30 min per day.  Will this damage the battery, or give it memory?  What is the best approach to charging the battery?  Thank you for being there.

You do not have to turn the screen on when charging.  That "broken battery" is actually a lightning bolt across the front of it - indicating charging is occurring.
Whenever I charge my devices, I just plug them in and leave them that way overnight.  The charge circuitry will shut off when "full".  
Newer battery designs don't have the "memory" problem.

  • Palm z22 problem

    Have had a Palm Z22 for about 4 years. Cannot turn on, attach the charger and it may turn on but the minute I unplug it the screen goes black. Any ideas?
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    This sounds like a failed battery, and would require a repair. being 4 years old would be more then the normal life span for the battery. an exchange on this device would cost 75.00. If you would like to set up a exchange you can call 866-935-7256 for tech support, or you can set up an exchange on the Palm web site at www.palm.com/support.

    it can be replaced through repair. it's not replaceable by any other means except for the experts.
    you can call palm for the repair process.
    there are low cost repair options that are being offered in the web. one example is the PDAparts.
    you can visit www.pdaparts.com and you will be redirected to a site where you an order devices and have it repaired as well.

    Unfortunately, neither of the two repair sites we mention often will repair a Z22 due to it's low initial cost!   A new screen will cost more than a new device...

  • Palm Z22 won't power up

    My Palm Z22 will not power up.  It was working yesterday morning and just shut off while at my desk.  I thought it might be the battery so I plugged it in to charge it, but it still won't power up at all.  Is there some sort of reset button?
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    Look at the back of the device for the tiny hole marked "Reset"... Press gently with a paperclip, etc. and release.

  • Z22 power charger - replacemen​t? Car charger too?

    Hello -
    A member of my family has the Palm Z22 PDA. She thinks that her included power charger has been misplaced. 
    I was wondering whether it is possible to order another AC power charger, as well as a car charger. If so, how soon? Would there be a backorder?
    I live in California, and would be willing to buy from a store or Palm office(?) anywhere in the San Francisco Bay Area
    (or at worst in Northern California).  
    Thank you for your attention to this message.

    UPDATE: Judging by the battery icons that show during long navigation sessions, the phone alternates between charging the battery (battery icon with lightning bolt in it) and showing that it is fully charged but plugged in (battery with plug inside it).
    Obviously this second indicator is incorrect since - as soon as you unplug the phone after a long navigation - it shows a red bar and gives the 10% or 20% warning.

  • 2nd dead iPod Touch 4G in 2 months?  Battery/charging problems!

    Hi everyone,
    It seems as of tonight that I will have to return my second iPod Touch 4G in the last two months. In both cases, it was an issue where the device would no longer charge, and became very hot on the top of the back panel when the device was turned on even for a few seconds (while not being plugged in). In the first case, the device seemed to be defective from the time I opened the box, which was confirmed at an Apple Store, but they asked me to ship it to Apple Repair to be checked out. Apple took a very long time to get a replacement to me, but was good about that problem, and I was happy with the replacement for the past month when all of a sudden tonight the new one would not change and became very hot.
    Is this an issue that anyone else has seen? I essentially only charged it off of my laptop or a wall charger unit, but it seems like the battery essentially is shorting out. I love this device, but actually need to use a PDA-type device enough that I am questioning whether I should get a replacement or go back to my old Palm TX.
    Thanks for any thoughts/feedback on my iPod Touch 4G battery/charging problems.

    Most battery complaints complain about loss of charge. The iPod is designed to lose heat through the back as the battery discharges. This is most common when using the device a lot - like playing games. If yours will no loner charge, by all means return it to Apple.
    As far as being a PDA goes, it is as good as any smart phone out there. The PDA, as you once knew it, is dead and has been for 5+ years. Take your iPod to an Apple store and insist on a replacement.

  • Broken Palm z22?

    My palm z22 can turn on, but won't go past the "palm powered" display. I have countlessly reset it as well as wait till it was charged to reset and then wait till it ran out of power and charged again, then reset! I even tried pressing the power and the reset button at the same time. Nothing changed. It's still stuck at "palm powered" and constantly on wasting power. Please help!
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    There is some timing involved with performing a correct Hard Reset.
    To perform a Hard Reset:
    While pressing and holding the Power button down, tap and release the Reset button in back and continue to hold the Power button down. When the grey Palm logo appears, you can release the Power button.
    You should now see the warning page in about 5 languages. Press the UP direction on the 5-way pad to complete the task. Your Palm will reset itself several times as it re-installs the original programs and erases all your previous data.

  • Palm Z22 won't power on

    I was using my Palm Z22, put it down and returned to it about 5 minutes later and it would not turn on.  It had almost a full charge on it.  I plugged it in again and it still would not turn on. 
    Any ideas?

  • Palm z22 dead screen?

    I have a palm z22 that got damp on a misty overnight hike last week.  The screen backlight wouldn't turn on but the screen still seemed to be working.  I took the unit home, and the backlight would not come on, and the screen wouldn't function at all.  The unit has now dried for a week, has been charged.  It will synchronize, so I know the processor is working.  I have tried a soft and hard reset, and cleaned the screen.  The screen and backlight will not turn on.  Is there any hope for this unit or some technique that I haven't tried?
    Post relates to: Palm Z22

    The moisture could have corroded something. You could check with pdaparts.com and usedpdaparts.com on repair costs, but it may be more cost effective simply to replace.

  • Palm TX battery goes fast

    I recently purchased a Palm TX and really enjoy it.  However; I can't be on it more than 10 to 12 minutes before the time is up and I am close to losing my stuff.  Is there a battery I should buy that would make it last longer?  Also there is a memo card in the unit.  Can someone please help me.
    Thanks and God bless
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    A full battery charge on a new TX should last you at least 4-5 hours of absolutely continual use with heavy battery-draining functions like watching video.  That translates into several days of "normal" day-to-day use for most people.  If it only lasts you 10-12 minutes, then it is either not getting fully charged or there is a defect in the unit.  If you purchased it new from a legit retailer, you have a 1-year warranty.  If you bought it used, I would look into getting a new battery from www.pdaparts.com or www.usedpdaparts.com both of whom will also do the replacement for you for a small additional fee.
    The TX has what is called a "non-volatile file system" which means that it does not lose all of its data if the battery drains down to nothing.
    Not sure what you mean by a "memo card."  There is an expansion card slot.

  • Palm 111c battery died all files lost

    this has been a horrible time for me. my desktop died and i didnt install palm 111c software to my laptop  i didnt want to fill up my laptop. my battery died on the palm pilot and when i recharged it my address book was empty. i have lost ALL my passwords 10 years worth how can i get them back?
    Post relates to: Palm IIIc

    Sorry floydgene, if you lost the Hotsync files on the desktop computer, there is nothing left.
    I hardly think Palm Desktop would be close to filling up a laptop.
    The Volatile RAM on older Palm devices has to have battery charge to remember any data.  No charge, and the data turns to zeros... 
    This is why Palm Inc. stresses the importance of regular Hotsyncs to save your valuable data.

  • First battery charge and current issues?

    Hi!
    I just bought a new MacBook (2.0 GHz, 160 GB). I have two quick questions:
    1. I plugged in my AC adapter, turned on the notebook for about 5 minutes to make sure it works fine, etc, then shut it down to let the battery charge. Would I have lost any battery capacity by not fully charging the battery first? And do I need to let the battery run through a full cycle when I first use the computer to ensure full capacity?
    2. Are there any updates/best practices for the 2008 (December) MacBook batteries? I know there was an issue in 2007, but for the new line am I set to go? And is it still best practice to put shut the Mac down instead of putting it to sleep to save wear and tear on the hard-drive/battery?
    sorry for all the questions: it has been 5 years since I bought my last notebook so I am a bit rusty/excited!

    When I hotsync, and the display pops up, I seem to have some double items....
    My previous problem (fixed by dbfixit as suggested on this forum) was the hot sync was stalling on the second date book.
    I see that when it's hotsyncing, it is checking off one at a time...
    Should I delete the duplicates and how do I do that.  (they are not listed as duplicates on my hand held that I can see.
    All this is hard work for me, so appreciate this forum and all your help.  sdm

  • Yoga 3 Pro Battery Charging Problems

    I've combined several discussions into one because there are multiple cross-overs of symptoms.
    After reviewing all the posts, I see there are two types of problems discussed:
    Battery charging but only to a certain percentage
    Battery intermittently charging
    Several people have reported success with their limited battery percentage problem by following the solutions suggested by MarinM and Vladtech.
    For the intermittent charging, several people have reported that sometimes the battery charges, sometimes it doesn't. I'd like to dig into these reports. I have a few questions I'd like to ask.
    When does it charge, when does it not?
    Are there any patterns to this?
    Does swapping electrical outlets make a difference?
    Does the USB 2.0 charging port appear loose?
    Does the cable show any signs of damage?
    Does the AC adapter show any signs of damage?
    When a second device is plugged into the extra USB port on the AC Adapter, does this impact Y3P charging?
    Are there any battery error messages?
