Text options on Treo Pro.

Hi everybody. So I have the Treo pro, and I was just wondering, in the text conversations, is there any way to change the conversation display from showing "ME" to my actual name? I like it to say 'Tiffany' instead. I know I was able to change it on my Centro, but I haven't been able to do it on this phone (if it's even possible). So does anyone know if there is that option on the Pro?
Thanks. =)

Learn to love "view options" and "preferences" and "options".
In every app on a mac and in the finder, there is somewhere that you can set your preferred font and font size.
Which sizes and which fonts are something that you should experiment with to see what suits you and your eyes.
I use small font sizes but that is what suits me; you need to choose your own. Play with the apps and look at what is available to you.
(the standard font sizes in windows apps were so large that they were crazy when I had to infrequently use a windows machine.)

Treo Pro Text draft issue

When I get a text and open it, it creates a draft message just by opening it to read it, as if I chose reply instead of open. The second issue is I use the "cut through paging" for business calls(they choose option 2 from my VM and it sends their caller id or number they manually enter as a text to my phone, instead of getting a lot of VM's) and the weird thing is that if the caller is a contact in my phone(most are) it just shows their name and does not specify the number they want me to call. Even weirder, if I delete the message, I can go into the deleted message file and it does show the number and looks like texts looked on my previous Treo 800w in the inbox. Is there any fixes for this that anyone knows of for these issues? I did the update for the date issue and that worked fine. Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.

Are you sync'ing the videos to the Treo or downloading them from the internet directly to the Treo?
Those file types should play Ok on the Treo.

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.

"Cannot open Help. The file cannot be found." Error on Treo Pro

I can see a support item listed on my phone when I try to search the Help files, but when I click on that item, it gives me an error message, "Cannot oepn Help. The file cannot be found."
I am trying to block telemarketer calls, and it looks like there is a way to do it. Two help references come up - "Setting Options for rejecting calls" and "Blocking Calls." I just can't access them.
Thanks in advance!

From the Owners Guide http://www.palm.com/us/support/handbooks/treopro/treoproT850E_UG.pdf But I dont think its what your looking for.
Setting options for rejecting a call By default, when you reject an incoming
call, the caller is sent to voicemail. You can
change this setting so that, in addition to
sending the caller to voicemail, a text
message opens. This message contains
default text and is addressed to the caller
so that you can send the message right
away. You can also change the default text
of the message.
1 Press Start and select Settings.2 On the Personal tab, select Phone .3 Select the Advanced tab.4 To turn on the text message feature, check the Reject call with text
message box.
5 (Optional) To change the content of the message, select the text in the box and
enter the text you want.6 Press OK .

Space button on Treo Pro (sprint) takes me back to Home

Hello,
I just had an odd thing happen yesterday. When I looked at my phone, some settings were changed - my digital clock display for time got set to analog. I switched it back thinking it wasn't a big deal. Anyway later when I try to text, every time I hit space after s set of letters it will exit Messaging and take me back Home. I can press space multiple times, but if it comes after I start typing any letters, after the 3rd letter, it will exit. I also tried the transcriber and other input methods and it does the same. So somehow the Space key in messaging has been changed. I tried a battery pull and it didn't resolve the settings.
Is there any way to resolve this by not having to Hard Reset?
Thank you

Hi.. Welcome to the Palm forums. Unfortunately the only option here is to do the hard reset. Be sure to sync first as this will totally remove all data from your device. If you need instructions go to this link.

Treo Pro No Vibration on any setting

About a week ago my Treo Pro stopped vibrating entirely.The phone will not vibrate when the switch is set to silent, or with ringer on, or for text messages, or during the phone boot up. When it's set to ringer the sound notification works properly.
I've checked all the settings and they are correctly set to vibrate on incoming calls. I just performed a hard reset and went to factory settings and this still did not resolve the issue.
Has anyone else had this issue? Any known solutions?
Should I be requesting an RMA for this?
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

If you are having the issue after the hard reset, it looks like the Treo may need to be repaired.
You can call the Palm smartphone support line to setup a repair. Here is the number. 1-877-426-3777.

Setting up Contacts "groups" or "distribution lists" on Treo Pro??

Is there any way to set up a "group" or "distribution list" on Treo Pro w/ Windows Mobile so that I can send a text message to a group rather than have to put in each phone number individually???
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850U (Unlocked)

Hello!
Windows Mobile devices doe not have this function at least out straight foward of the box, will require the use of a 3rd-party SMS application. PalmOS smartphones have an upping here with its templates folder but in your case you could try making SMS drafts and use those as a "group template."

Washed out background image on Treo Pro

Hi:
When I set my background image on my today screen (check the box in settings, browse to image - use 320x320 resolution) I get a "washed out" version of the image regardless of its original color, tone or intensity. Images from the preinstalled themes are fine - vibrant and clear - but the user set images are very light (almost like a 50 percent transparency in Photoshop for example). I have tried both .jpg format and .png. Backlight settings do not cure this either.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Again:
Upon further investigation, I have discovered that the options for setting background and transparency levels is found through the pictures and videos explorer not the file explorer.
As suggested I have set the transparency to 0 and the image (Crab Nebula through the Hubble space telescope) is as bright and vibrant as it should be.
Thanks again for the direction - it's much appreciated.

Change softkeys on Treo Pro Today Screen

I just bought a Palm Treo Pro and I am trying to customize it. Can I change the right softkey on the Today screen?
Right now it says Internet. How can I change this to notes, for example?
Also, can I add items to my Today screen list? I already customized the list based on the default options, but can I add a program that's not on the list? For example, I have Tasks on the list now, but how can I add Notes as well?
Thanks.

Email setup on Treo Pro

I live in Australia and use the carrier Telstra but there are no aussie support forums.
I have set up my email for my Internode Pop 3 account the same way I did for the old Palm Centro and as per instructions on the Palm site. The Palm Centro worked fine but I cannot get email with my Treo UNLESS I also have my wifi on and near an access point. Just trying to get it through the phone as I did with the Centro does not work as keep gettin g"error synchronising" as soon as I hit send/receive. I assume it is probably something simple I am doing wrong given that the actual settings work through wifi but Telstra are hopeless and really no one seems to know anything here about this particular model. I use WAP as my network as I did previously but not sure if I should be using another network eg My ISP? Realise many of you would have no experience with Telstra but any advice appreciated.
Post relates to: Treo Pro T850U (Unlocked)

The Australian support number - depending on where you call from - is either continuously busy, or is 'out of service'.
Given that it's no longer listed on the Palm page, I'm going with the latter.
I tried contacting the US via live chat, but they absolutely refused to help me because I was supposed to be using Australian support options, so, yet again, no help.

Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?

Can I Scan to editable text on HP Officejet Pro 8620 using the Apple Printer Driver 3.0?
I had a very difficult time getting my new HP Officejet Pro 8620 functioning as well as it does now. I just tried scanning something as editable text for the first time and it ended up being scanned as a pdf. At one point in my various tries there was a note on the printer screen that I did not have the HP OCR software installed.
This may be because the resolution to my installation problems with the HP Officejet Pro 8620 seems to have been reverting to operating with the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package instead of the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg installation package.
I do not, therefore, have the HP Scan application on my computer now which is where HP says its OCR software can be found.
So what I'm afraid of is that I'm now running well with the HP-Apple driver but if I do go back and install the HP Officejet Pro v12.32.0 driver software with the HP installer, in order to access the OCR softwware in HP Scan application, I'll mess up everything else.
Is there any chance that the HP-Apple Printer Drivers 3.0 package I have installed also includes OCR software? If so where can I find instructions for activating it and using it with the HP 8620's scanner?
Or can I only get OCR capability with the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package?
Any experience with this? Should I leave well enough alone? Or can I somehow install the HP-Officejet-Pro-8620_v12.32.0.dmg package without messing up my current functionality?
Thanks
Steve

The printer driver that is installed automatically from Apple doesn't scan. The scanner part can be accessed through Image Capture, but I don't think that does any OCR on the scan. You'd need a separate program. As you noted, many of the bundled software programs have OCR built-in (albeit limited). From my experience, that is only activated when you scan to "searchable" PDF or something similar. You would then have to extract the text from the PDF.
I don't have an HP printer/scanner, so take this all with a grain of salt.
If you can just install the Scanner utilities, that shouldn't affect the printer portion.
Your other option would be to purchase separate OCR software. Unless you need to scan lots of documents into text, you should further investigate installing the HP scan utilities.

Cannot export text using Acrobat 9 Pro

Hello all,
I have a .pdf file that I want to export as text using Acrobat 9 Pro.
File / Export menu appears to offer this, as does the help. But mousing over the arrow to the right of the Export / Text menu
brings up no options. I can export as .ps if I want to, but not text, or html.
Is this an installation option (I checked, and I didn't see any option for this)?
Or does the program refuse to export files with certain attributes?
Or is my installation likely to be broken in some way?
Best Regards,
Adrian Stephens

You can typically use the copy&paste or use Save As. I am not exactly sure what you mean by export other than one of these two options as suggested in the complete help (I am on AA8 here). It may be that there is no text to export. A lot of the older IEEE pubs are simply scans with no text. You would have to OCR the paper to get the text to export in such a case. If you posted a sample file, maybe we could be of more help.

Hi there Doug,
It sounds like you've enabled the High-Contrast Color option under Edit > Preferences > Accessibility (Win) or Acrobat > Preferences > Accessibility (Mac). Uncheck the 'Replace Document Colors' checkbox, then hit 'OK' to turn this off.

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.
