Vista won't recognize Palm Centro hardware

I have downloaded from the internet as well as from my Centro Smartphone (Verizon) disk the required software, and when I come to the step to plug in the phone to the computer, all I get is device drivers not found. I have had it do a search for the drivers to no avail. This phone's drivers had no problem with my XP computer. Any ideas??

A couple months ago, I bookmarked this page:
http://forums.palm.com/palm/board/message?board.id=windows_hotsync&thread.id=17980
I NEED the information on it regarding what to do about syncing via bluetooth for a Palm Centro. I now regret not printing it when the post was visible, but now I get a "message not found" error.
I thought that page had step by step how-to for syncing with bluetooth to the Centro. Since I have Vista 64-bit, I know that's what I need to do.
Any ideas what happened to that post? Was it moved? To where? I've been browsing the board for an hour now and getting really frustrated. Thanks.

Vista won't recognize jars

Hi!
I got a new computer with Vista, to which I have installed the latest JRE. The problem is that Vista won't recognize jars as executables, or even a valid file type for that matter. When I try to run a jar I get the regular Windows "Which program would you like to open this file with?"-dialog. When I run the jar from the command line, everything seems to work fine though.
Any ideas?

Uninstalled and reinstalled the new update. I even ran the setup as admin, but no dice. And there's no Java settings in the control panel either.

Windows Vista Won't Recognize Internet Networks

I just installed Windows Vista Home Basic on my MacBook Pro with Boot Camp. I have Road Runner wireless internet and my Mac side recognizes and connects all the time, but my Windows side doesn't recognize it or any other network. What's the problem and how can I fix it?
Thanks,

Vista Won't Recognize My Shuffle At All!

When I connect my dock and iPod to my USB port, nothing happens. The problem is not iTunes, but Vista itself. I have confirmed that my USB ports are working through Windows and by attaching my digital camera as a test. This has happened before, and it just magically started working again! I filled my iPod with no trouble about a week ago. I am running iTunes 7.6, which is the most recent. Restarting my computer does not help. As always, Windows troubleshooting shoots blanks.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? And has anyone noticed that Apple support has no email support for this situation? Help!

The same problem with me. I previously had an iPod shuffle 1st generation on my other computer, which was Windows2000, and the USB port broke off so i got an ipod shuffle 2nd generation and i got a new computer, which is Vista, and i just plugged my iPod shuffle 2nd gen in for the first time and iTunes did not show iPod shuffle. and nothing happened at all! Windows said that it could "not find the hardware" and it told me to install iTunes and i reinstalled it and still, nothing happens

Palm Centro / Windows Vista 64bit

Has anyone figured out how to sync music to a Palm Centro using Windows Vista 64bit? My understanding is that there is not a USB driver for Vista 64. I can already HotSync my Centro using Bluetooth, that works (albeit slow) but can't sync music and as anyone with a Centro knows, removing the memory cards is inconvenient.

Even if there was a way to sync music files to your Centro from a Vista desktop, music files tend to be large and take a long time to sync. The best way to put music files onto your card with any operating system is by dragging & dropping onto the /audio folder on your card with a card reader. Removal of the micro SD card from the Centro isn't all *that* inconvenient. Not like you need to do it very often.

Palm Centro - Vista - Hot Sync Problem

Hello: I have a Palm Centro (Verizon) and am having major issues hot synching to my new Windows Vista (32 bit) home PC. I continually get the following error message:
"Error: SgConflictNotifier.dll failed a confirmation query and cancelled the sync operation."
"HotSync Error: An application canceled synchronization or failed to respond to a HotSync notification. Please ensure that you are not currently editing data using applications such as Palm OS Desktop or Install Tool (8009)."
I am running Hot Sync Manager 7.0.2 and Palm desktop by ACCESS 6.2.2.
When I tried the Hot Sync operation on my old XP computer, no issues whatsoever. Can anyone help?
Thanks

I am having the same issue as are several people on this board. I have attempted to reinstall the application and reset my Treo but still nothing. I would be interested if there is a fix I am missing.

If your version of Windows is 64bit, there are no USB drivers for that version. You can only sync wirelessly.

Palm centro won't ring

For some reason my new palm centro won't ring, show any missed calls, or let me check my voicemail at home, even though it shows all bars and appears to have network service. I can, however, do all of these things in other locations.
I was on the phone w/ tech support for 45 minutes trying to get to the bottom of it and they said I should consider having it replaced where I bought it. But I've been reading online complaints from others who have gotten replacement phones and are having the same problems so I don't want to replace it if that won't address the problem.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
ross

As I understand your situation, the phone works correctly (it rings, shows missed calls, and lets you check voice mail, etc.) in locations other than your home. When you get home, these things no longer work?
Are you able to make any outgoing calls from your home?

Palm Centro Bluetooth Sync with Vista 64bit

I just got a Palm Centro and was able to go all the way through configuring both the Palm Centro and the PC to see each other. I created a virtual COM port (COM5) and selected that port as my Serial Connection.
That is when it stops working. Pressing the HotSync button on the Centro gives me the following error...
Unable to initiate HotSync operation because the port is in use by another application.
This port was just created, how can it be in use?
Thanks, John

Did you check bluetooth under connections in Hotsync Manager on the PC? Right click the hotsync icon and goto settings, then connections. Is bluetooth there and checked? If not do so.
Next delete the bluetooth connection on the device and try to recreate it. You shouldn't need to create the virtual port on a vista system. That step was for older versions of windows that didn't do that automaticaly.

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, won't send/recieve text messages or let me go onto the web or messangers

So, I've had my Palm Centro for about 2-3 months now. It has always worked fine and what not but today when i woke up, i tried responding to my nightly texts and sign into msn
I tried doing so and it says
"Attaching GPRS"
I have no idea what that means, it has never done that before and now nothing I use DAILY is working.
Please help me?

Have you tried a Soft Reset? It's the first thing to do with any Palm "hiccup"... Pull the battery, wait 10 seconds, and replace.

Palm Centro Won't Power On

Alright, so I've had my palm Centro for almost a year now and have run into the infamous Hotsync Loop problem once before. I did a soft reset and it fixed the problem. Now it has happened again and the phone will not respond to soft or hard resets at all. Yes, it was charged and the light turns on when it is charging. No, there was no water damage or 3rd party application installation.
It seems to me that the problem has no real solution other than replacement, and I have no intention of getting another Centro.
My only question is whether I'll be able to salvage my contacts and transfer them to another phone. Verizon is my carrier and I have never Hotsynced the phone to my computer so it is not backed up.
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

The only thing left to try is cleaning the connector on the bottom of the Centro. Is there any green corrosion on the connector?
Take out the battery and wait for at least 1 minute to allow the Centro to power off completely.
Take a soft lint free cloth and dampen with alcohol. Clean the connector. Wait for the alcohol to dry and then power on the Centro to see if it will stop hotsync looping.
If you never hotsync to the PC you can use a program called NVbackup to backup your device to an SD card. Do a google search for the program, it is free.
If the Centro will not stop hotsync looping, unfortunately there is no way to recover the data on the Centro.
