Turning off geotagging in Palm Centro

My daughter is using my old Palm Centro.  She takes lots of pics and uploads them online.  I want to turn geotagging off.  Not even sure if this is something the Centro does...can't find any info about it.  Can anyone help??

Hello!
The Palm Centro does not have a GPS so it could not use gps services like geotagging.

  • Droid Pro- how do I turn off geotagging?

    I want the geotagging turned off. I can't find the directions online for this. I found some, but it wont work on my phone. There is some extra menu I need to get into to turn it off, and I just simply cannot find it. It read that there is supposed to be a menu to pull out to the left, well I dont have one.
    I do not feel like sitting on the phone with tech support, who will not know how to fix this. I have a bad run with tech support and this phone, it take about 30 minutes for me to get a simple answer for anything! So I'm trying here.
    THANKS!!!

    Have you tried hitting the menu key while the camera app is open?  This should bring up a set of small icons at the bottom of the "viewfinder" area.  Press the one that looks like a target (second from the right?) and then choose off.

  • AFTER receiving a text message, how to turn off sound on Palm Pre

    Someone has to help me with this, because I'm at my wits' end! I used to have a Palm Centro, and really, any other phone before my new Palm Pre, goes something like this:
    1. You get a notification ring(s) when you receive a new voicemail or text message
    2. You press the volume button, hit the screen, etc
    3. THE NOTIFICATION RINGS STOP!!!!
    Does Palm Pre not have that capability? If I'm texting back and forth with someone, I have to listen to the WHOLE THING EVERY TIME? Tell me that Palm has thought of a way to fix this, because it's driving me batty. It's the only thing I completely hate about this phone, and I can't find anyone here that has had the same issue...
    How do I make the ringing stop?????

    I don't know about anyone else, I get the notification for everything that happens: for IM's, texts, when I charge the battery, when I'm low in battery, etc. The issue that I have, and that I hope someone has the solution, is that from my old Palm Centro, and really, every phone I've ever owned, there was something I could press that would stop the notification! Nothing stops the notification though! and it's a good 30 seconds... Which is not a big deal when it's one text message, but when it's 4 texts messages going, it never stops!

  • Can't turn off Backup on Palm Pre !

    I really don't want this Backup function on my phone ! When I disable it, I just get a spinning circle ... that's it ... nothing is happening !
    any tips ?

    Hello and welcome to the forums;
    Have you tried restarting your device after turning off backup? How about closing the Backup card and re-opening to see if it did turn off? In some lower coverage areas, the change won't reflect until after a card cycle.
    Upon looking at your device information, it looks like your backup is currently disabled.
    Hope this helps,

  • How do you turn the Palm Centro OFF?

    Ok, the manual states how to turn off the PHONE, but not the entire DEVICE.
    Does anyone know how to completely turn the unit OFF?
    Thanks

    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    This is somewhat related to the turning off question.  (Thanks for the answer to that one, by the way. ) 
    For some reason, the screen on my Centro won't stay off.  I'll hit the power button, and the screen will go blank, but I'll look at the phone a few minutes later, and the screen will turn on again.  I'd like to keep the screen and touchscreen off until I need it to save the battery.
    I'm using PowerMan to conserve power, if that has any bearing on this.  Thanks!

  • Syncing out of nowhere.....wont turn on now (Palm Centro)

     I've had this phone for 2 years in begining of december.
    Last night my phone started to automatically sync (hotsync) with out even being connected to the computer. It stopped then I put my phone to charge. I check the phone this morning and it wont turn on, even when connected to the charger, but the little red light on top left corner turn on. Not only has this happened to my phone, but my parents phone aswell (they have the same phone)
     I took it to the sprint store not even 2 hours ago and they told me I have to pay $119 to for them to replace it. That is more than what i payed for the phone in the first place.
    Any Help?
    I am truely fed up with Sprint and Palm, or atleast the Palm Centro for that matter. I had a blackberry pearl with Cingular (now AT&T) and I was extremely happy with it. Switched to sprint, few months later, i hated. Had no service in the middle of the city, freezes, shuts off out of no where etc. exact oppsite with att&t
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    There is no reason to put it in DFU mode, a reset should work.  Although, without a working power button it is not possible to reset the device.
    Sounds like it is time to replace the damaged device.

    If you press the Home button and open Security, you can change "Auto Lock Device" to "Never". Does that do what you want?

  • PALM TUNGSTEN E2 Won't turn off

    I have a TUNGSTEN E2 that seems to have a software glitch.  When I press the power off button, the unit turns off, but after about 10 seconds, it turns itself back on!  Which if I don't have the power cord plugged in will drain my battery quickly.  I thought it was a switch problem, so I performed a HotSync with another E2 I own and it too started turning on by itself after 10 seconds.  How do I stop this from ocurring?
    Thank-you for your help!

    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    As with most problems that occur on a Palm PDA, it is either software or hardware related and we have to determine which one.
    Best method is to first make a complete backup of your unit to your SD card using the free "NVBackup" (available from http://www.freewarepalm.com) After the backup is complete, Hard Reset the unit, then test to see if full functionality returns.
    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.
    DO NOT HOTSYNC YET! Test the unit before reinstalling any software. If the unit works correctly, your problem is being caused by a "drug interaction" of software - maybe one rogue program, or a combination of several. You'll have to reinstall the third-party programs one or a few at a time to find the problem one. To avoid re-installing a software issue, rename your /Backup directory in your Palm folder (on a PC it's found here: C/Program Files/Palm(One)/"your HotSync ID name truncated"/Backup) to something like "/BackupOLD". Now perform the HotSync, choose your HotSync name you've been using, and all your PIM data will return, but not the third-party programs. Test for functionality again. If all is good, start installing the old programs from your /BackupOLD directory one (or a few if brave) at a time.
    If the unit does not work after a Hard Reset is performed correctly, then it may be Hardware-related. (If it's a connection problem via either BlueTooth or Wifi, be sure nothing has changed on the unit you're trying to connect to!)
    Hope this has helped,

  • Palm Tx Turns Off when I HotSync

    I have been running Version 6.1 and HotSync w/o any problems. Today, for the first time, when I tried to HotSync, the handheld turned off and then reloaded automatically. I tried again and the same thing happened. I restarted my computer, tried to HotSync and, again, the same thing happened. I then tried to upgrade to Version 6.2. One of the final steps is performing a HotSync. When I tried to do this, once again the handheld turned off and reloaded again. What's a fellow to do?
    Post relates to: Palm Vx

    Hi, please tell us what version of Windows your computer is running.  Also, what is "Version 6.1" that you are referring to...Palm Desktop?  I'm not famliar with that. 
    Palm Desktop 6.2.2 is the newest version, but it is primarily intended for users with Windows Vista computers, and by itself it is incompatible with older Palm devices such as your Vx.  If you are using a Vista desktop (32 bit only...won't work with 64 bit), and Palm Desktop 6.2.2 you will also need a free utility available from www.pimlicosoftware.com called PalmHotsyncSetup.

    Hello lafan and welcome to the forums,
    I'm sorry your having this issue.  You could try holding the power button down and switching the ringer switch back and forth 3 times.
    If this doesn't work, you could also try pulling the battery and re-seting it to see if the device powers back up. 
    If this does not work, I would suggest replacing the battery, possibly the device.
    Let us know if this helps..

  • How to charge your Palm Centro via 64-bit Windows, with a USB cable

    Here is a way to recharge your Palm Centro on your 64-bit Windows computer, through a USB cable.  But first, a few brief explanatory notes...
    Note 1:  I have successfully used this method to charge my Palm Centro from my 64-bit Windows 7 computer.  This method probably works for other Palm devices and other 64-bit Windows versions (XP and Vist)...  but I haven't tested this on any other configurations.  Others may feel free to post their successes or failures with their setups.
    Note 2:  This method will NOT allow you to HotSync your Palm to the computer via USB.  All it does is let you charge your Palm via USB.  If you need to HotSync your Palm, and you have 64-bit Windows, you have to use Bluetooth or some other method.  To learn how to use Bluetooth to sync, search for "bluetooth sync 64-bit" or something like that on this forum.
    Note 3:  If you're wondering why someone would need to use this method - why not just plug the phone into a wall outlet, right? - it's because the Centro's charging jack can get messed up.  Mine has not worked properly for the last several months
    Note 4:  I will not be posting any follow-ups to this message.  This is my first (and only) post here...  I'm posting here because I am very grateful to this forum: It is here that I learned how (and why) to sync my Centro to my computer via Bluetooth, because Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows. This is my way of saying "thank you"!  I'm not trying to be harsh by not following up...  it's just that I won't be checking this thread, and I don't want anyone to have bad feelings if they ask questions and I don't respond.  I'll be as thorough as I can in this one posting, though. 
    Note 5:  I cannot claim credit for actually discovering this solution.  I found it after HOURS of looking online... it was on some obscure website.  Unfortunately, I can't remember where I found the original solution, so I can't credit the discoverer here.  However, I have done my best to provide much more detailed instructions here.
    Note 6:  Lastly, Palm should support 64-bit Windows.  Period.  Some of you may say, "It's not Palm's fault - the company that makes the Palm OS is Access, and it's Access's fault for not supporting 64-bit Windows."  Well, this may be true, but Access has stated that Palm has not requested a 64-bit driver.  (In fact, you can call Access and ask them directly.)  And if Palm doesn't ask (and pay) for it, Access sure isn't going to create one on its own.  I used to LOVE Palm devices...  I've used Palms for 12 years now, and for most of that time, I heartily recommended Palms to all my friends.  But, between this problem and the other problems I've had with my current Centro and my previous Treo, I'm done with Palm.  No more for me.
    OK, here's how to charge your Palm (finally!)
    1)  If you haven't done so already, install the latest version of Palm Desktop / HotSync on your computer.  You can get this at palm.com, under the "support" section.  (Actually, I'm not sure if this is necessary, but I already had done this.)
    2)  As you're installing the software on your computer, toward the end of the process, do not actually sync your Palm to your computer.  Just cancel or whatever you have to do to avoid that step.  (Remember, the whole point here is that Palm does not have a driver compatible with 64-bit Windows, so you won't be able to sync via USB.)
    3)  If you don't already have it, get the PocketTunes application (also known as "pTunes") on your Palm device.  If you have to install the software, you may need to do so wirelessly or via a 32-bit Windows computer (because, again, Palm doesn't support 64-bit Windows).
    4)  Connect the Palm USB cable to your computer.  If you are using a desktop, plug into the USB ports on the BACK of your computer.  These ports are directly powered, whereas the ports on the front of your desktop may not be.  You'll want as much juice as possible to charge your Palm.
    5)  Connect the Palm USB cable to your Palm.
    6)  Turn on the Palm device, and open the PocketTunes application on your Palm.
    7)  PocketTunes will try to connect to Windows Media Player (on your desktop).  Tell your desktop to connect to Windows Media Player.  (You can save time by telling your desktop to do this automatically.)  When PocketTunes connects with Windows Media Player, you'll have a power connection via USB.
    8)  PocketTunes will eventually show that it is "Idle" on the Palm.
    9)  To confirm whether the Palm is charging, look for the charging light (on the Centro, it's on the upper left) to turn solid red.  You can also hit the home button on the Palm to see the battery / charging status.  To get the charging working, you may have to exit PocketTunes and come back into it a few times before the charging light comes on.  I have no idea why you have to do this; I just know what I wind up doing sometimes.  You don't have to unplug and replug the phone from the USB cable, or turn the phone off and on.  Just leave PocketTunes and come back to PocketTunes.
    10)  If you exit the PocketTunes application on the Palm, the Palm will still charge - but you'll get the constant and annoying "no driver" noise from Windows.  To avoid that sound, just keep the Palm on PocketTunes while you have the Palm plugged into the USB cable.
    11)  You can close Windows Media Player on the desktop once you have the Palm charging.
    12)  Once you have this set up properly, you can speed up the process by setting the HotSync cable button to PocketTunes - after all, that button no longer needs to be set up to HotSync via USB cable.
    When you have everything set up, here's what you would be doing on a regular basis:
    -- Plug USB cable (which is already plugged into your computer) into Palm
    -- Hit HotSync button on cable --> This starts PocketTunes --> PocketTunes automatically opens Windows Media Player on the computer
    -- See if charging light turns solid red --> If not, exit PocketTunes, then hit HotSync button on cable to start PocketTunes again
    -- Repeat until charging light turns solid red (success!)
    -- Once the Palm is charging, close Windows Media Player on desktop
    Best of luck to all who need this!
    Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

    Why do you want to create your own driver instead of what comes with the device? If you go that route, you need all of the low level USB RAW protocol from the vendor. Did you get that? Yoe are wasting your time if you don't have that. Is the driver from the vendor documented? If it's a USB connection, how does that connection show up in windows device manager?

  • Palm Centro Unlock Button

    No, I have not installed any new software lately.  I started having the Keyguard problem a week or two ago and it was intermittant.  It would not work at all for several hours then would start working normally for a few hours.  About the time I was ready to give up on it, the Keyguard would start working again.  Finally, two days ago, I could not get it to work at all and had to recycle the battery to get to the phone to turn it on or off or make a call.  That is when I did some research and found out how to disable the Keyguard function.  It appears to working normally now except that the Keyguard function is disabled.  Do you think I should do a hard reset?

    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.

  • Palm Centro BT not working with Lexus

    I just transitioned from a Palm 755 to a new Centro.  The 755 worked great with my Lexus car kit, but now wont pair with the Centro.  Anyone have any ideas?
    Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

    Same situation with me. Car stall as at 'Connecting...', Centro seems to think it paired. I have a 2007 Lexus IS.
    I'm giving this 2 more days, then the Palm gets returned for a Blackberry instead. I can't see why this is so hard for Palm to get working...
    *** 1/1/08 Update! ***
    There is a trick to make this work. The 'phone' section of the Centro must be turned OFF when pairing with the car. Once the pairing works, then the phone can be turned on and it will work. Mine is now working great... Palm tech support sort of helped find this; I think it was an accident that I started to pair it without remembering to turn the phone part on.

  • Palm Centro Desktop not working with new install

    I just got a Palm Centro (AT&T) and installed the software. I already had Palm Desktop from my Treo 650. My information came over to my phone during Hotsync, but I can not use my desktop. When I start the program, it says there is a problem and windows is shutting it down. I am using Vista. Can you help?
    Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

    Try re-installing the software and do a repair of the install. If that doesn't work then you will need to do a "clean" uninstall and then install Palm desktop again.
    You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
    happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
    Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
    copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
    Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
    with Palm Desktop from your computer.
    Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
    C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
    PalmOne
    C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
    *Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
    into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
    hide hidden files.
    Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
    Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
    from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
    you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
    PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
    Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
    Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
    Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
    The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
    If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
    BUT do not turn off your computer.
    The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
    but if they are delete them)
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
    * HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
    * HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
    Next reboot your computer.
    Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
    you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
    did not sync before create a hotsync name.
