Treo 680 Calendar

Help!
It's January 1 and my AT&T Treo 680 that I got in June 2007 has suddenly decided to not show some or all events. If I tap and drag on the screen where an event has been added, I then see them, but it also adds an uncategorized event. In month view, I can see the events, but then in week or day view, the calendar is empty looking, until I tap and drag the screen. Sometimes I can add an event and other times when I add an event, the Palm will soft reset. The calendar feature, the Diet & Exercise Assistant, and the ability to beam are the three features most keeping me with Palm. My wife and I each use categories to track our own calendar events and then beam the categories to one another's Treo to keep tabs on who's where and when. I'm not eligible for upgrade for 2 months.

I'm not sure. The PC is at work and I am off until Monday. I HotSync only a couple times a year because the process freezes up or is interrupted for some reason. I wonder if that is what started all this problem.

Sync problem with TREO 680 - calendar sync times out

Hi all, perhaps someone can help. After updating the battery longer life package - which is working fine the the battery, no sync is possible any more.
Funny also for an unlocked TREO just Rogers and AT&T package is available for Europe - I selected the Rogers one - perhaps that is the problem.
By re-installing the whole software from CD and updating the sync SW from the palm sites, the sync process always stops when the calendar is going to be synchronized. Stops means loops, times out, ...
Any idea?
Thanks,

il_drago,
The information you provied is great, thank you. This should resolve your problem:
Ok, first we need to see if you can sync without calendar checked. On your computer right click the hotsync icon and go to settings. Then click on applactions and uncheck Datebook. Close up the menus and try to hotsync if it syncs fine good continue on.
Next we need to install a program on to your device called DBFixit (here's the link http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm) Download this file on the right side of the page. Then install the application to the device. Once on the device open it up and tap on the blue bar but in the top left select delete calendar blobs and say OK or yes. Then keep running that till you have 0 listed or no blobs found. Then we are going to hotsync with calendar syncing from the device to the PC. Again right click the hotsync icon and go to custom. Then click on calendar and then change. Then select handheld overwrites desktop. Sync and post back if that fixed the issue.
If it did then we need to change the sync to sync the files and set that as default. To do that, again right click the hotsync icon and go to settings. Then click on applactions and check Datebook. You should be all set at that point.

Alarm is automatically set when I enter a new appointment i n the calendar Treo 680

When I enter a new appointment in the handheld an alarm is automatically set and I have to disable it manually. This doesn't happen when I enter a new appointment on the computer. I called Palm and they told me that the Treo 680 default mode was to automatically set the alarm and there was nothing I could do. THIS IS VERY ANNOYING. Anyway I can disable this so I am able to set alarms only when I want to?
Post relates to: Treo 600 (Sprint)

I've looked for a means of setting default lead times for calendar event alarms, and I've not found any. So, I don't think you can set a default of being off, either.
When I had my old Sony Clié NR70V with the Palm O/S, under the Calendar application's (they called it Date Book) Preferences, it had an "Alarm Preset" option. You could check or uncheck it, and set a number, 0-99, and select Minutes, Hours or Days.
Look under the "i" information Icon under the Calendar application's Preferences area. Note that it says: "When available, checking Alarm Presets sets an alarm for every new event, including....."
You use to be able to set the number of times and how often you would be reminded for alarmed events, too, as is indicated there.
Why have they crippled our O/S in several ways? Third party software sales? It doesn't make sense to me.
We are going backwards.
Good luck.
Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Treo 680 won't sync calendar and contacts but everything else OK

I bought a Treo 680 off of Ebay. It is unlocked. ATT phone but I use T-Mobile. PHone works just fine but I can't use the Palm organizer for calendar or contacts. I have hard reset several times. WHen I do everything works except the contacts and calendar. When I push those buttons or try to open those apps the Treo immediately resets and never opens up the app.
OS of Mac? 10.5.6
Using Palm desktop
Version of Palm Desktop 4.2.1, Hot SYnc 5.4.0
Version of your device? TREO680-1.09-ATT
Is this a software problem? DO I not have the right software in the computer? DOes Treo not work with Mac OS 10.5?
Also how is it possible to sync with Entourage? I use that for email and see that others sync it to their phone to read emails.
Thank you

I followed your advice on another post. Took out the battery and pressed teh red power button until the black line went all the way through to end and pressed the English language button.
I think I solved teh problem though it is not elegant. I created a new user name and everything little that it was in the new calendar and on the Palm synched perfectly. Then I copied my old user data, replaced it in the new user id folder. Some stuff came through, some did not. WHat I have found is in the contacts, if I just click on the contact and put it in a category it syncs next time with the Palm. WIth the calendar in the conduit settings I told it to go from Mac to Handheld and everything came through.
If you have any other advise I would appreciate it. Especially how to sync with Entourage since I now use that as my email program.
Thanks

Treo 680 on Vista - Sync trouble when changing from Beta to new system! Help!

I have had my Treo 680 for about a year now. When I got it I found that the wonderful people at Palm never configured it to ruhn on Vista which had already been around for about 2 years at the time. Consequently, I never could use all the features ( certain media, etc.) because I had to run the Beta system. Additionally, the people at Palm told me when I called last year that the error messages I get after syncing were just something I'd have to get used to.
Fast forward to today. I go to the Palm site and I see that Beta has been replaced by a system that works with Vista. As I write this right now, I am in the process of syncing and it is stuck on " sycronizing Date Book". I have already tried reinstalling the new Vista version and re syncing again. What should I do to get this thing to work. For five cents, I'd go buy a new G phone from T Mobile and just switch over via importing data to Outlook which I currently don't use and the be done with Palm, ... but I can't even do that because I can't sync the Palm unit anymore with my PC!!! Any help is appreciated.

DbFixIt is a database scan and repair program that can be found by doing a google seach and clicking on the first result that appears. It's made by Pimlico and after you down load the trial. You'll need to install it to the device. Unzip it and then double click the .prc file. You should get a message that it will be install during the next sync. Then you need to disable the Calendar conduit. Right click the hotsync icon just the the left of your computer clock. Goto settings, the Applications. Locate Datebook or Calendar (Or both) And uncheck them.
Then try to sync. This will install the program on the device if the sync completes. Locate the program on the 680 and open it. Once it opens click the top left hand corner and select Delete Calendar blobs. Once that's done you can run the Easy scan, it should tell you what calendar events are 'bad'. Then you can fix them manually. If you want to program to fix them automatically then you'll need to buy it.

Syncing Treo 680 (DateBk6) with Mac OS X 10.4.9?

I have just switched from a PC to a Mac yesterday. My most important question is how do I sync my Treo 680 (with DateBk6) to my new Mac. I have a lot of apps on my Treo (including Avantgo), so iSync is ruled out. After reading other forums and doing a search on this forum (and reading the 8/15/06 ginasmith thread) plus reading about Missing Sync, these appear to be my best options:
1. Continue to use Palm HotSync manager to sync to Palm Desktop (PD) on my Mac.
2. Use Missing Sync to sync to my PD on my Mac.
3. Use Missing Sync to sync to the Mac PIMs (iCal, Address Book, Notes and Missin Sync's memo app) on my Mac.
I need advice on which works best. Here's some more background:
1. I do not share my calendar with anyone.
2. I have 2300 contacts, 6300 calendar entries stretching back to 1970, 300 tasks and 51 memos in my Palm Desktop.
3. I use Gmail and look at my mail as a tab on Firefox.
4. I also use SplashPhoto (but am not wedded to it) and DocsToGo. These two apps as well as all the Palm PIMs mentioned above appear nicely together on one side panel on my Palm Desktop.
5. The DateBk6 on my Treo is my favorite app of all those on my Treo AND PC. Mylife is organized and structured using DateBk6.
The most important consideration to me in making this decision is stability and reliability of the sync. As I understand it, the primary reason to use method 3 above is the integration with the Mac programs, especially mail.
I can see that this is a positive. Also, on other forums, I've learned that Missing Sync is stable and reliable and offers greater flexibility than PD in syncing with different conduit sets, etc. I have been using a PC tool (Ultasoft NotSync) which also allows different conduit sets for syncing.
I have noticed what appear on first blush to be calendar limitations of iCal compared to PD. It does not offer a year view and has no "go to" thereby requiring me when looking at 1990 or 2010, for example, to move backward or forward by month. In addition the foldout ToDo section looks skimpy and only offers three priorities. On the other hand, it's color coding of events is far superior to PD. I assume that iCal and address book can handle the 15 categories that I would use for both as well as ToDos.
I understand that Missing Sync provides the memo desktop app since Mac doesn't have one (assuming the Stickies doesn't sync and doesn't appear to me to be a good choice even if it did).
I'm perfectly willing to try method 3 to see if I like it and, if not, switch back to the Palm Desktop, which I realize isolates my personal information from the other Mac apps, thereby limiting some of Mac's powerful tools. One person that I respect on the DateBk6 forum has stated that she occasionally tries the Mac PIMs but feels that they come up short versus PD and always ends up switching back to PD.
I'd be very grateful for any counsel or comments from anyone who has used both the Mac PIMs and Palm Desktop.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Treo 680 (DateBk6)

The are several advantage to using iCal, the Address Book and Mail.
One is their ability to share contact, event and task data. There are simple examples of this with the integration of Mail and the Address Book, and with the auto-generated iCal Birthdays calendar, entries in which are created whenever you add birthday data to a contact card.
A less discussed but very important reason to use them is that developers of applications with extended contact, event or tasks management capabilities focus on information integration with one or more of these Apple applications, either through the synchronization framework, or directly. Take a look at iGDT, for example: it is a far more sophisticated task management application than iCal is, but synchronizes with it so that task data is available in iCal, or can be viewed without launching iCal using the simple MenuCalendar Clock (iCal Edition) utility, activated in your menu bar.
The Palm Desktop can do none of this, because it is neither synchronization services-aware, nor extensible through additional third-party software.
The transition from Palm Desktop to the Apple applications can be challenging, but once performed, works very well, particularly if you consider third-party add-ons like iGDT for task management. The secret to such a transition is to proceed slowly and deliberately, and insure that your data is backed up. You can move your data in several ways: one approach is to move contacts, events and tasks using the Missing Sync for Palm OS without initially overwriting your Palm device, then immediately doing the following:
• make any contact corrections, group assignments or other changes in the Address Book
• make any event and task changes in iCal
• set the Mark/Space Contacts, Events and Tasks conduits to overwrite the contents of you Palm device during the next synchronization, but only that one time [the default behavior when you overwrite your device]
In this manner, you will replace all of the data on your Palm device with the corrected data which originated on it and was moved immediately prior to this procedure to the Address Book and iCal.
I have never set down the 'recipe' for doing this, primarily because there are so many variables involved. But, I have guided others through the steps applicable to their particular configuration, and I can certainly help you do that.
Before jumping to that step, however, I would encourage you to look around at your 'extended' options:
• Crm4Mac for single-view information management
• Journier for journaling
• simpleDays for journaling, using a day runner and so on
• Studiometry for comprehensive business information management
• EasyTask Manager to implement a GDT approach
• iGDT to implement a GDT approach
• Process: an outline-driven, near free-form project management tool
• HighPriority: an extension of iCal used to manage tasks alone
• Dossier for organizing notes and tasks
• BaseCamp: a web-driven, multiuser project management application
• iTaskX for project management
• Merlin2 for project management
• the app4mac xTime series of project, staff and inventory management applications
The list just goes on and on…

Syncing Treo 680 with Mac PIMs (using Missing Sync)

Thanks to Michael Lafferty's excellent advice, I was ready to start syncing my Treo 680 with Mac's PIMs using Missing Sync. However, after extensive research and asking questions on five different forums, I'm getting conflicting advice. H
Here's my Treo PIMs situation:
Calendar 802K (6378 events/12 categories)
Contacts 1285K (2306/13)
Memos 184K (52/14)
Tasks 79K (250/10)
Here are the issues that I have received conflicting answers about:
1. I have 9 custom fields on my Treo with a lot of information in them. These are critical fields to me. It took me many days to pull this info out of my Contacts notes and enter in these 9 custom fields for 2306 contacts. Is it true that I cannot sync these 9 customs fields with Mac's Address Book? I've been told many times that this won't happen. If it can be done, will changes that I make in data entries for these fields in the Mac Address Book sync properly and be reflected on my Treo.
2. Can the conduits be set to "handheld overwrites Mac"? I've been told that it cannot. This and #1 are deal killers for me.
3. I have seven phone fields on my Treo. They are in this exact order:
work (1701 entries)
home (209)
Fax (291)
email (201)
mobile (201)
pager (31)
main (145)
Will I be able to successfully sync these with Mac's Address Book? If not, is there any reason that I couldn't take whatever fields won't sync and move them to some of the Treo 9 custom fields? The last question is moot if custom fields are not supported.
4. I average about 12 categories for each of my 4 PIMs. Do these all sync over correctly to the Mac PIMs?
5. I also have Treo notes attached to many, if not most, of my Contacts, Calendar events and Tasks. Will these all sync properly with the Mac PIMs such that I can make changes on either side of the equation and have them reflected after syncing on the other side?
6. Are there any other limitations in my ability to faithfully be able to recreate my 4 Treo 680 PIMs accurately and completely in the Mac PIMs?
I realize that any reference to non-Address Book PIMs is off-target. I hope you'll excuse me dumping the other three PIMs into the mix. My primary concern is Treo Contacts/Mac Address Book.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9) Treo 680 (DateBk6)

Q: I have 9 custom fields on my Treo with a lot of information in them…
A: The Missing Sync does not synchronize custom Address Book fields between a Palm device and your Address Book application, but will not remove those fields from the Palm if the conduits are set to synchronize. If your conduit is set to the nonstandard Overwrite handheld with desktop data, the custom fields will be overwritten. I point this out because it is, at times, necessary to make a choice like this, and as a result: its bye-bye custom field data!
The Missing Sync cannot perform custom field synchronization because the Sync Services framework does not allow The Missing Sync to create new fields in Address Book to match your Palm custom fields.
Q: Can… conduits be set to handheld overwrites [desktop]?
A: No, because again, the framework does not support this specific type of bidirectional data transfer.
Q: I have seven phone fields on my Treo…
A: This is an issue primarily with the manner in which a Palm device handles such information. Though they are displayed in a particular manner on your device, they are not necessarily stored in a specific order by the Palm contact application, and can only be retrieved when labeled with an expected or 'accepted' field label. This issue gets complicated quickly, but in short…
• only the first seven phone numbers sent to your device by the framework are written to the device
• the order is not something that can be controlled by a developer, and it is not necessarily the order displayed in either the Address Book contact record on your Palm device
• the Palm contact application does not distinguish between phone number and electronic mail address, though Mark/Space parses the data to look for the @ character—and, finding it—handles it as an electronic mail address
• only one of the several IM addresses you maintain in an Address Book contact record is transfered, and only one URL is transfered
• Palm categories are mapped to equivalent Address Book groups
As to synchronizing additional data to Palm custom fields, that's not supported. The place to put such data is in the Note: or Notes: field.
Q: I average about 12 categories…
A: As I suggested above, category and group equivalents are recognized and synchronized. Be sure that you name the ones you intend to synchronize identically in both environments.
Q: I also have Treo notes attached…
A: Again, these should synchronize bidirectionally, without issue.
Q: Are there any other limitations in my ability to faithfully be able to recreate…
A: Oh, yeah: because the data field labels and contents do not map 1:1, it is nearly impossible to create identical records in both environments. Look for the common abilities…
• a maximum of seven telephone numbers and electronic mail addresses
• a single IM identifier
• a single URL
…and work within those bounds. You can generally store and synchronize any additional identifiers in a Note: or Notes: record, but this is clearly less flexible and potentially more problematic than storing them in matching fields.
You briefly mentioned the other PIMs on your Palm device, and their OS X rough equivalents. Those controlled by Mark/Space OS X bundled applications will not be an issue: memos, for example. Their are Palm OS quirks which result in inequalities. The most obvious of these is the iCal multiple day event which spans two or more days in iCal, but which is represented on a Palm as only a single day event, displayed on the first day alone.

Trying to change sync from Palm Desktop to outlook treo 680

I currently use/sync palm desktop for my calendar buyt I use outlook for my email. I am trying to change the sync to outlook so that I can have my data in all one spot. I changed the PIM conduit to say outlook. Then I tried to re sync. It appeared that everything synced, but when I went into outlook none of my data was there. Am I doing something wrong? I have a treo 680 and windows xp. Thanks for your help

Hello Peter15, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
To change the sync program, look here:
Start Button/All Programs/Palm/PIM Conduit Sync/Sync with Outlook. At the next HotSync it will try to sync with Outlook.
It ~should~ give you an option of which profile to sync with.

Backing Up Photos, Videos & Messages, Chat Logs - Treo 680

In order to free up memory space on Treo 680, I need to delete photos, videos. messages and chats from my phone, back them up onto PC, have them stay saved on PC and not have them restored to phone during next Hot Sync (which I think happened last time). Also I had to purge all calendar data from > one month from my phone, but now want to restore that data from my PC to phone. How do I do these?

Problems with Treo 680 hotsync with exchange server with Outlook conduits

I have a Treo 680 set to sync with my companies exhange server for e-mail and calendar.
When the phone is docked, it will not perform any synching if I try to use the Hotsync feature. It says that it syncs and doesn't give any errors during the Hotsync, but it doesn't actually sync anything.
The phone will sync wirelessly, though, and after several tries. If I go to sync calendar, it gives an error:
"There was a problem syncing events. There was a problem synchronizing with the server. Please select the Sync button to try again."
When I try to sync again it gives another message:
"There was a problem syncing with the Exchange ActiveSync server. Your next sync will take a little longer than usual. Do you want to sync now?"
And if I select "Yes" it will sync wirelessly. It receives all the items and does sync the calendar, but gives an error message:
"There was a problem syncing events." and if I click the details it says:
"AirSAMStateMachine.c 1814 6 Server rejected device Add Status:6"
But, it does appear to have synced all the calendar items correctly.
Likewise, if I go to sync e-mails it does the same thing with the error details:
"AirSAMStateMachine.c 3873 4 Sync key invalid, cmd: 4,status: 4"
And again, it will update the e-mails. Also, if I set it to auto-sync e-mails, it will receive e-mails as soon as they arrive, but will always give that error message afterwards.
Any thoughts?

No, that didn't work. Although Hotsync says it is using Outlook for syncing Calendar, Tasks, etc., nothing is actually sent to the phone. I have to do it wirelessly, which does sync but it gives those errors and takes a few tries.

Edit:
Upon doing a hard reset and reinstalling everything, it works now. Thanks.

il_drago,
The information you provied is great, thank you. This should resolve your problem:
Ok, first we need to see if you can sync without calendar checked. On your computer right click the hotsync icon and go to settings. Then click on applactions and uncheck Datebook. Close up the menus and try to hotsync if it syncs fine good continue on.
Next we need to install a program on to your device called DBFixit (here's the link http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm) Download this file on the right side of the page. Then install the application to the device. Once on the device open it up and tap on the blue bar but in the top left select delete calendar blobs and say OK or yes. Then keep running that till you have 0 listed or no blobs found. Then we are going to hotsync with calendar syncing from the device to the PC. Again right click the hotsync icon and go to custom. Then click on calendar and then change. Then select handheld overwrites desktop. Sync and post back if that fixed the issue.
If it did then we need to change the sync to sync the files and set that as default. To do that, again right click the hotsync icon and go to settings. Then click on applactions and check Datebook. You should be all set at that point.

Treo 680 Alarm not sounding

Help! I was given a treo 680 which I love. The other day the alarm stopped giving its warning for appointments in the calendar. Not good! I have tried everything I can think of but know I must have missed something. Is this a problem or have I simply accidentally turned it off somehow?

thanks guys. Unfortunately these don't seem to be the causes. It did it again this monday morning, i changed nothing on the settings (to test it) and it worked fine tuesday. Perhaps it just doesn't like mondays.

Treo 680 does not sync with Microsoft Exchange 2007

Hi
My company just upgraded to Microsoft Exchange 2007 and my teo 680 stopped syncing my mails. I checked with the plam support and they informed me that 'The Treo 680 unlocked device is not supported with the Exchange Server 2007.'
Has anyone faced this problem. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

i have tried this out. while this may work on Sprint, it does not work on Unlocked devices. Finally with no solution from Palm on this particular issue i had to switch to a windows based mobile. I am a Palm fan, but looks like Palm does not care about this.
Nothing to do with Sprint: using domain\username in place of the username in VersaMail has been confirmed on the Centro on the AT&T network. I think the Centro runs a newer version of VersaMail than the 680 (the 680 was released in the Fall of 2006). Perhaps that is the difference?
The last software update was in January 2008, to support direct push email (http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/treo/680/unlocked/solutions/article/10807_en.html). I doubt you will see more, considering that this device has been discontinued.
I'm running Windows Mobile now. I miss the PalmOS calendar, but I don't miss VersaMail.
