Updates for "palm-top" Samsung Fascinate?

I am using my old Fascinate as a "palm-top". It is only connected to WiFi and not on the Mobile Network (it is NOT being used as a phone in any manner). It was working well as such a device, but needs updates. Unfortunately, it seems to need the Mobile Network running. How can I get it updated without it costing me an arm and a leg? Since support is discontinued, I would hope that acquiring an "update.zip" and other required files is not overly difficult and inexpensive (like some internet forum.?.?.?)..
Any help?
Thanks in advance,
Dean

This did not work for two reasons:
1. My Fascinate does not have Kies Mini on it to begin with and, according to Samsung, is not available for Verizon Fascinates. (Then why do they have a download for it?). Bottom line, I do not already have the "Kies Mode" for my USB connection which is needed to update it. And without that, you cannot load Kies onto it.
2. You can ONLY download an update over the air for a Verizon phone. Even though I don't care if this "phone" has a Verizon monicker or not -- I am using it as a Palm Top, not a phone in any way. I even tried to see if I can make it some other carrier's "phone" just to get it updated, and no avail.
Silly me for looking at this thing as a WiFi Android "platform". What a goofball...
Thanks anyway (and I really appreciate your response, Tidbits!).

My White Samsung Fascinate has issues, can I get it replaced for a different phone?

Okay, I have the White Samsung Fascinate. I bought it from Best Buy back in April, and since then i've had nothing but random problems with it. I've never tried getting it replaced before, but recently it has stopped vibrating altogether, even when in vibrate mode. I factory reset the phone and everything and it still will not work. If I take it to the Verizon Store and they cannot fix the problem can they give me a different phone? I really do not want another Fascinate that will just probably end up giving me more problems in a few months. I also heard that Verizon does not offer replacements for the White Samsung Fascinate, since it was a Best Buy exclusive, and that they will offer you something else. Is that true?

Since you did not by the device from a Retail Verizon Store and has had it over 14 Days the answer would most likely be a no, they will replace it with a referbished Fascinate if you got the insurance plan, other than that it would depend on the rep and manager to do something diffrent but I would not expect a diffrent phone...
Also you may qualify for the early upgrade but this will still mean you have to buy the devicce at contract price and renew contract, but this is only if you qualify and they do not have to offer this as a solution..
Good Luck..

Firefox mobile does not work in Samsung Fascinate, only get a blank screen for any search.

I downloaded Firefox Mobile to my Samsung Fascinate. I had no problem with the download or installation. When I tried to do a search, all I got was a blank screen in the Firefox window. The Samsung Fascinate is set up to run only Bing. It does not like doing Google searches. When I try to force it to do a Google search through the existing Bing browser, I get the search result, but when I go to a site, none of the buttons work. In Firefox Mobile, I just get a blank white box in the Firefox window.

You can continue using nightly builds without uninstalling. Fennec will offer to download a new nightly build whenever one is available.
If you want to switch to a release version of Firefox, then you will need to uninstall the nightly build first. This will reset your history/bookmarks/settings.
We are planning to release Firefox 4 beta 2 for Android later this week, so if you prefer to run an official release then you might to wait a few days and install that one.

Will there be an update for the samsung note 10.1?

With it being on Verizon and Samsung, I believe it will be a long wait for an update.

Firmware Update for Samsung PM851 Family SSD's

Just purchased a Yoga 2 Pro and found that it came with a Samsung MZMTE256HMHP-000L1 256 GB SSD. This is a member of the Samsung PM851 SSD family, which is essentially an OEM clone of the PM 840 EVO. The 840 Evo has well documented slowdown problems, and as a result, Samsung has released several firmware updates to address the issue. Several other OEM's have released firmware updates for their OEM versions. However, Lenovo has not. Is there a way to update the firmware of this SSD that I'm not finding? Supposedly Samsung Magician won't work. Thanks,C

Lenovo did release an update utility for the Thinkpad series. Will this work with the Yoga 2 Pro?

Updates for the palm

Does anyone know when the next update for the palm pre will be out and if so will it be fully functioning with exchange?

Why is palm so slow in getting everything configured correctly so the pre works with exchange?
So slow? Sorry you feel this way. Most folks feel 3 updates in month's time is pretty good for a brand-new device with a brand-new OS...
I'm guessing the issue is a bit more complicated than just changing a few bytes of code... Update 1.1 is on it's way, and is rumored to have EAS fixes in it.

Update windows for Palm 750V

Does any one know when can be the update for windows in a 750V?
I have windows 5.0
thanks
Post relates to: Treo 750 (Rogers)

You mean this update: http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/9271_en.html - this is for Rogers 750s. There is no WM6 updater for the Vodafone now - the offer expired. You had to act in the available window of time to get it. MSFT was not too generous about allowing OEMs to offer this option for long. More details about 750v on the Palm UK site: http://kb2.palm.com/srvs/cgi-bin/webcgi.exe?new,kb=eupalmsupportwkb,ts=palmeuwkb_uk
"Treo™ 750 Windows Mobile® 6 update has expired
As of 1st November 2008, the promotional update to Windows Mobile® 6 for Treo™ 750 smartphones is no longer available.
The update was optional; Treo 750s running Windows Mobile 5 will continue to work and function as before. Treo 750 devices began shipping with Windows Mobile 6 pre-installed after 30th November 2007. To check the version of Windows Mobile software that your device is running, please follow the steps listed below.
Microsoft announced a new version of its OS—Windows Mobile 6.1 – which is available on the Treo Pro. "

Software update for the Samsung Charge

I am on my third Charge.......I had a Droid, and a Droid X and loved the Droid X with very few problems. However I have had nothing but problems with my Charge.......each of the charges had the same problem.......I would keep getting a pop up message stating I needed network connection even though I was showing 4 bars. I could take out the battery and it would work for a while and then I would have to take out the battery again....finally taking out the battery didn't work any more. I am in a 3G area so when I went in to the Verizon store it worked for them......so I left then it dawned on me that in the store we were on 4G......do I went back in and sure enough on 3G it did not work. They went through all the check points with their tech and sure enough nothing worked and so ...my third phone!
All this to ask "When are we gettiing an update for the Charge? We pay a lot of money for these phones and I expect them to work......at least timely bug fixes!!! We do not have a land line so it is important that my phone works in a dependable manner and considering the cost I don't think that is asking too much!
Does anyone know when an update is coming out for the Charge?

Re: Software update for the iPod Nano 6th Gen
There is already new hardware for the nano (7th Generation) and it would take a hardware modification to put video on the 6th Generation Nano so no speculation was needed, Carl had the correct answer.
My Original iPod Nano received updates beyond it's generation, there is no reason to conclude this would not be possible for other models and generations. Why would the iPod Nano 6G need a hardware modification for video playback? It already can do analog composite video output for viewing slideshows with music and transitions on a TV and can handle full photo resolutions. The iPod Nano 6G seems more than capable from a hardware perspective of video playback, it's just that the screen is tiny small for viewing video realistically for any length of time with comfort. That can be rectified by using the onboard TV out feature, though battery life might be miserable. It has nothing to do with the release of the iPod Nano 7G.

Oracle Calendar Sync for Palm UPDATE

64 Bit Windows7/8/8.1 USB drivers for Palm Desktop

Thanks to the great folks over at Aceeca.com (makers of NEW PalmOS Garnet devices), USB drivers for 64bit Vista, Windows 7, and Win 8 operating systems are available. There are many users reporting Palm Desktop 4.x is also working.
I have synced my TX to my Vista64 bit laptop, and Windows 8.1 HP Spectre X2 hybrid successfully via my USB cable.
The drivers are located here:
Aceeca Driver Downloads
Installation instructions (from Aceeca) for Windows 7 are included in the download.
Basic instructions:
1. Download the drivers and Extract them to the same folder. Remember the folder you extracted them to.
2. Try to HotSync your device. It will fail.
3. Open the Device Manager, and look for the Yellow Triangle next to either "Acceca" or "Palm Device" under "Other devices".
4. Right-click on the device, and choose "Update Driver Software".
5. Choose "Browse My Computer for Software" and direct it to the folder you extracted the Aceeca drivers to.
6. Choose "Next" at the driver file location window, and then tell it to "Always trust software from Aceeca Ltd." then click the "Install" button.
7. I received an error message (Vista64) that told me "The drivers were installed but the device couldn't be opened." I saw that my TX had timed out and went to sleep. I tried a HotSync and it worked!!!
Good luck!
NOTE: Palm Desktop 6.22 may only show Media and Install. Here's how to fix that:
If Palm Desktop 6.2.2 only shows Media and Install, try this: Right-click on the shortcut for Palm Desktop, then choose "Run as Administrator". The ther modules should appear.
To make Palm Desktop Run as Administrator every time in Windows 8/8.1:
Close Palm Desktop, if open. (This is a very important thing to always do when using 6.2.2 - it has been known to lose data when a computer is shut down without closing the program!)
Right Click on the Palm Desktop Icon in the Metro screen, then choose "Open File Location". You will now see the actual file for the shortcut.
Right-click on the "Palm Desktop" shortcut file, then Properties. Now pick the Compatibility Tab at the top.
At the bottom of the Compatibility Tab is a checkbox: "Run this Program as Administrator", Click OK .
Try opening Palm Desktop, all the parts should appear. You may see a box open when you close the program asking "Did the program run correctly?" I picked "Yes", and it's been working fine since then!
If you are using a much older PalmOS device and want to try using Palm Desktop 4.x, you will need this additional patch from Pimlico Software:
Palm HotSync Setup
WyreNut
Forum member bobboffin has added this post:
"After attempting your first HotSync and failing (as expected) you may be unable to find any trace of the device in Device Manager, making the next step quite difficult. This happened to me, and after some investigation I discovered the following tip that allows Device Manager to show hidden and non-present devices.
Open up Notepad and paste the following two lines into it:
set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
start devmgmt.msc
Save it as SetDev.bat into My Documents.
Open My Documents in Windows Explorer and double click on SetDev.bat. Device Manager should open.
In the View menu select Show Hidden Devices.
You may now see under the Other heading the failed device with a yellow triangle against it.
You can now proceed to install the drivers per the instructions.
Note that the driver supports most Palm OS versions. I'm actually using an Aceeca Meazura 1000 ruggedized PDA running OS 4.1 --- bobboffin"
Hope this helps!

Thank you so much. I was thoroughly disappointed to see that the support telephone for paid support had been discontinued. I thought I would need to replace my (ancient but serviceable) Z22.
I followed the instructions listed here and am very happy to report that I completed a sync!
Thanks again.

Microsoft all ready has an update for Windows Phone 8.1 Verizon customers still don't have WP 8.1. UGH!

Microsoft has all ready released an update to Windows Phone 8.1. Us Verizon customers don't even have WP 8.1. *** Verizon? My contract with Verizon is up in November this is the tipping point. I am not going to renew my contract. I will just buy the phone out right and sign up for Straight Talk. Then I don't need to have the "Nanny service provider (Verizon)" telling me when I am able to obtain a device update. Thanks for nothing Verizon.

On one side, I can understand that maybe (and that's a BIG maybe) Verizon wants to make sure they have enough data (pardon the pun) regarding the successful adaptation of the update for it's customers in order to make sure everything goes smoothly. However, I find that Verizon likes to keep customers in the dark regarding time frames. It's interesting to see on some of the similar titles message boards entries on this topic have Verizon monitors ready to wipe out entries if they violate terms of service on the forums. But, when asked directly about time frames for Windows updates, you either get a link to some Verizon news page (which is of no help), or nothing at all. A number of people called Verizon customer service and get varied answers like: "Sometime this summer", "Soon", or even an "I don't know, they don't even tell us either"...which is the answer I got one time. Very discouraging. I had a choice between the Windows Phone, or a Samsung Galaxy phone. I chose Windows because of it's features. Beginning to regret it now, since support for it on Verizon appears to be dismal at best.

Hello everybody, Im trying to update my ITunes on my MAC (laptop) to the newer version so I can then be able to update the latest updates for my Iphone-3G. I don’t require a complete reinstall just need to be able to update my itunes.
What I have tried so far is I had my MAC search for update’s and it said that I should update to (ITunes version 10 . 6 . 3 ) So I asked it to do the update but after 2hrs of waiting for it to download/update it then puts up a message saying the following- (In order to continue installation, please close the following application: ITunes).
When I tried to do this another message comes up that says- (The update ITunes can’t be installed. The following install step failed: run preupgrade script for Apple mobile device support. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.)
I have also tried to run the update while having closed ITunes before I even start the update but the same problem happens after waiting about 2hrs.
Some one that had the same problem said this might be happening in the older operating systems. But that does not make sense because surely Apple want customers who own a MAC and i-phone to still buy from iTunes.
My MAC is about 4-5years old. I have a i-phone.3G,
Can anybody help me please and Thank you?

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.
