You are asking a LOT of Basic Questions that can be answered by reading the User Guide that is included with every Palm on the installation disk.
It can also be read by going to Palm.com and the suport page for your device.
You add programs with Palm Desktop and the Hotsync application.
Ad-hoc refers to Wifi. Not possible.
Wifi: not possible.

Windows 7 and Palm Centro help needed please

Can someone recommend an inexpensive blue tooth external adapter that is compatible with Windows 7, 64 bit so that I can sync my Palm Centro?
Thank you.

I have the same problem. Had an XP computer. Now have a Windows 7. Installed the software from CD but I'm sure there must be a driver for Win7. I have a 64-bit computer. Cradle won't sync.
The CD that came with these handhelds does not have a 64-bit driver. Neither does Palm Desktop 6.2.2. But the company that took over PalmOS did make one.
Read this thread for information on installing the Palm Desktop 64-bit drivers.
Note: these are 3rd party drivers and not supported by HP.

Palm centro giving "Please wait" every 15 seconds.

Hi
My Palm centro is giving "Please wait" every 15 seconds, even if im doing nothing. When I am doing something its very annoying as It always freezes for one second beforehand.
ive tried a soft reset and a system reset.
what could be causing this and how do I fix it?
Post relates to: Centro (Unlocked GSM)

Hello AussieGuy and welcome to the Palm forums.
I don't recall hearing about this issue before. Are you restoring your applications and data on the Centro after performing a hard reset by immediately performing a HotSync? What happens if you don't restore your data right away? Will the Centro start working normally again?
Have you checked to see if there is a ROM software upgrade available for your Centro?

Sprint Palm Centro 690 D062 (Gandalf) Custom Rom - Help

I am unable to install a ROM update that I unzipped and rezipped from the ROM files that I extracted from "Centro_1_07_SPNT_DesktopUpdater" installation package from Sprint.
These are the steps that I took.
(First, I tried things verbatim)
1. Unzipped the Centro_1_07_SPNT_DesktopUpdater.exe archive.
2. Copied the following files to an SD micro card
(system)
gandalf-htc-tpl.zip.md5.pdb
gandalf-htc-tpl.zip.pdb
gandalf-ipl-dvt.md5.pdb
gandalf-ipl-dvt.pdb
gandalf-ipl-ev1a.md5.pdb
gandalf-ipl-ev1a.pdb
gandalf-ipl-ev1a_el.md5.pdb
gandalf-ipl-ev1a_el.pdb
gandalf-ipl-evt1.md5.pdb
gandalf-ipl-evt1.pdb
gandalf-ipl-evt1_el.md5.pdb
gandalf-ipl-evt1_el.pdb
gandalf-ipl-evt2.md5.pdb
gandalf-ipl-evt2.pdb
gandalf-ipl-p.md5.pdb
gandalf-ipl-p.pdb
gandalf-palmos-tpl.zip.md5.pdb
gandalf-palmos-tpl.zip.pdb
gandalf-spl.md5.pdb
gandalf-spl.pdb
(application)
gandalf-palmos.zip.a.pdb
gandalf-palmos.zip.b.pdb
gandalf-palmos.zip.c.pdb
gandalf-palmos.zip.d.pdb
gandalf-palmos.zip.e.pdb
gandalf-palmos.zip.f.pdb
gandalf-palmos.zip.g.pdb
gandalf-palmos.zip.h.pdb
gandalf-palmos.zip.i.pdb
gandalf-palmos.zip.md5.pdb
(launcher)
RomUpdater.bprc
RomUpdater_enUS.oprc
3. Inserted the card into my phone and installed the RomUpdater files using Resco Explorer 2009.
4. Copied the system and application files to RAM.
5. Launched the RomUpdater (typed "gand" at the so-called prompt) and successfully updated the ROM.
(Then, I tried to re-zip the files)
6. Merged the application archive pieces into a single gandalf-palmos.zip file using O'Razoff's PDB2ZIP rexx script. Validated the MD5 checksum, "c5796e49382c400b5c6d0303f7d78001," (using DiamondCS MD5 checksum program) against the MD5 checksum embedded in "gandalf-palmos.zip.md5.pdb". They were the same.
7. Back on the PC, unzipped gandalf-palmos.zip to a new directory.
8. Re-zipped the unzipped files from this new directory into a new archive with same name as the original, "gandalf-palmos.zip," using Winrar. (I.e. I did not change any files in the archive.)
9. Split the new archive into 2MB parts using O'Razoff's ZIP2PDB rexx script.
10. Calculated the MD5 checksum using the same program as above.
11. Overwrote the checksum embedded in the "gandalf-palmos.zip.md5.pdb" file mentioned above using Orebro's VbHexEd.
12. Copied the new application files onto SD Micro card.
13. Repeated steps 3, 4, and 5. On step 5 got MD5 checksum error. I was unable to proceed further.
My reasoning was that if I could get an unaltered, but re-zipped, ROM to install, then I could try adding/removing applications.
I noticed that the original gandalf-palmos.zip file was 17275 KB, whereas the Winrar archive was 17250 KB (fast compression) and 17283 KB (normal compression). So, I experimented with a few zip programs to see if I could get the zip file size right (7zip and Info-Zip). No luck, the 17283KB file produced by Winrar was the closest.
My questions are:
1. Is it even possible to do what I am trying to do? (My instinct tells me that it is.)
2. What am I doing wrong?
Any insight would be appreciated.

Palm M100 help please...!

K guys I jsut got a palm100 came with cradle and a serial to USB.

- I have the newest Palm Desktop with the program you need to hotsync old palms with it.
I cant get it to sync any help would be nice.
under local all I can choose is Direct Serial and IR. no option for USB not sure if that matters.
I have the Palm Coonnect USB kit ... doesn't say compatible with Vista on the box.. since its an old serial to USB does that matter? When I plug it in my computer it beeps so it is recognizing something.
Thank you for the help.

The newest Palm Desktop (6.2.2) will work with your older device, but not by itself. You also have to download and install the free utility called PalmHotsyncSetup from www.pimlicosoftware.com.

How to unlock a Palm Centro

I want to know how can I unlock a Sprint Palm Centro, to use it with another Service provider, since I have moved to another country. Any Ideas?
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Unlocked phones normally refer to GSM networked phones - a Sprint Centro has a CDMA radio in it.

Palm Centro locks everytime I close a program by pressing End? Please Help

I recently bought a palm centro for my girlfriend and she is having a huge problem everytime she closes a app or ends a call by pressing the red/end key it locks the phone is there any way to get rid of this feature? I apologize if I didnt post in the right area. Please help Thanks

Message Edited by Krayz on 07-16-2009 05:06 PM

If the Centro works like earlier PalmOS phones, the red end key turns the screen on and off; it is not used to close programs. By default, turning off the screen enables the keyguard, so it is necessary to press the center button to use the keyboard again. However, if she has to enter a password, she may need to adjust the settings under Applications (Home button) > Security.

Post relates to: Palm m500

The built in applications on the device can't do what you are wanting, but with the vast many of third party software applications that are available for the palm os, I'm sure there is a program that will. I believe this program will
http://software.brighthand.com/product.asp?id=2000&n=LightWav---MP3-Ringtone%2BCallerID-Manager
I however don't use it and you may want to double check with the vendor of the software, but it does say on the specs
Set custom MP3 ringtones for sms and voicemail notifications
Now that could mean two things to me, One it could mean you can set a custom mp3 ringtone for all sms messages, or you can set custom mp3 ringtones for individual ringtones.
I'd also suggest taking a look at mring it also seems to do what you are looking for

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

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

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

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

Help with sharing programs/calender between two palm centros (sprint)

My wife and I have identical new palm centros and we want to share contacts and calender throught the palm software. I have tried to name them both the same and the program recognizes 2 different phones so it wouldnt share...
is tere any way to share this with the two?
I am trying to do software also... games.. etc... medical software...
help...
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
This is very possible. The easiest way is to beam the programs using bluetooth. Once bluetooth is enabled on both devices, from the main Apps screen, click the upper left hand side of the screen and you should see some menus drop down. Click App then go to send. Select the program you want to transfer and click Send.
Depending on the size of the program you are trying to send will determine how long it will take.
I hope this helps and let me know if you have any further questions.

Palm Centro Unwanted Hotsync Help!!

Okay I have the Palm Centro from AT&T and I got this message from the phone saying it was connecting to HotSync and I don't want it to and it keeps popping up anyways! Please help me figure out how to make it stop trying to connect.
BTW I'm 13 and I don't know what to do so please put it easier for me to do this. And my parents aren't home so I can't ask them.
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

Hello and welcome to the Palm forums!
You can click on "cancel" to stop the hot sync or remove the battery from your centro and stick it right back in. This should stop the hot sync.
PS It is not a good idea to post personal information on a public forum. You can click on the top right of your post and edit it. I would suggest that you remove your age from the post and the fact that your parents are not home. It is not safe to inform the public about that! You can just write that you need help with this issue and you would like a response asap.

HELP! I am in ACT 2007, Palm Centro 6.2, Companion Link and Windows Vista Syncronizing He...

I mostly blame ACT. I have 2007 and they reccomended ANY Palm. After purchasing my new Palm Centro I purchased and downloaded the ACT synchonizing program. Upon download, it said they weren't compatible. I called ACT who then said they knew exactly what I needed. A third party software called Companion Link. I purchased that from ACT. When downloading, it says it is not compatable with anything over 6.0 ..I called them. They said I can dowload the older Palm Desktop and it would work. Before I do one more thing....I want to be sure I shouldn't start completely over. I am still inside the 30 days with my Centro, which I like, but everything I need for work is on my ACT so synchronizing with that is most important. If I have to purchase ACT 2008 I will but if I can find a fix (maybe Palm OS desktop) first then I will try that. At this point, if I could move everything away from ACT I would consider that as well. I have just used it for so long to tract contacts, etc. I don't use too much of the fancy stuff. Did I mention I am on Windows vista as well. I'm sure that's one more thing to consider. I am two weeks and several hundred dollars down. HELP
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

Welcome to the Palm Forums,
Ok, thanks for all that information. First off if you sync to a lower version of Palm Desktop you will not be able to sync programs over to your device. And if you are able to it works part of the time not all the time. Also what was your other device before you moved to the Centro? We might be able to grab the information from that device (if you still have it) and move it to the Centro depending on the device type.
Outside of that there are others here that could help you with the ACT and Companion Link applications but unfortunately I don't know much about how those programs work. But if you want to move away from them message back here and I will help you.

Palm Centro SMS Lag

I've had my Palm Centro on sprint for about a month now, and it seems that it lags really bad when it comes to sending and receivng messages. In good coverage there is minutes and minutes of lag to the point where people reply to old messages ive sent after two new ones have been sent to them. There seems to be lag on incoming and outgoing messages. Also, a message often pops up that says an error has occured and the message couldn't be sent. Its getting so annoying! I need my messages when i get them! And I need to know that they are getting there when I send them. On occasion, people have told me they've sent messages but I've never got them! I can't stand it anymore. Does anyone know what is happening? I've discovered that locking the device may contribute to this. Is that true? Even so removing the lock dosen't solve the problem...Please help!

You need to speak with the carrier, this sounds like it's a network issue.
