Data transfer Palm Pilot IIIx for Blackberry 8320 blackBerry smartphones

Thanks to BBSingh for help posting this message. I would really appreciate help from the members of the forum to provide a remedy that is known to work with my Palm and Blackberry.

My problem is changing my old (December 1999 vintage) Palm IIIx data to my new Blackberry 8320. Years, I have used the Palm in conjunction with a Motorola L7089 (April 2000 vintage) and their IR ports for data transfer; Unfortunately, the phone fell in water and after drying carefully, he could make and receive calls again its screen remains empty, so no need to send SMS and most of the functions. Sales team convinced me to buy the Blackberry, but I'm starting to wonder if I've been conned, as usual with sellers once they get your money that they are not prepared to do anything else. New technology has undone me. In the long task of transfer of several thousand items manually I had recourse to the expertise of this forum.

A tip I found has been updated the Blackberry Desk Top Manager to v4.6 and it would list the Palm in its devices to transfer data from. I did, but the resulting Wizard at the point of registration of the Palm, but it wouldn't activate a greyed on the option button. DTM for Windows status options System Tray icon COM1 has been disabled. I could allow it, but as soon as this dialog box has been closed COM1 returned to the disabled state. BTW, this is a non sequitur on COM1 Hotsync of Palm transfers data to the PC via COM1 and the Palm software tools works very well also. I closed all the related applications of Palm and it made no difference. I tried DTM 4.5 with the same result. As an aside how the icon options DTM is deleted from the system tray, Windows Task Manager should be used to close the application.

Another tip say to export data from Palm in Outlook Express, then DTM would need to be OE. I enabled OE reluctantly because it is a questionable product, a favorite oxymoron is "microsoft security", has exported the Palm data in a CSV file, but when they are imported to OE it's garbage. Repeat the exercise but exported as tab delimited and got a worse result. Try to import or the other of these abortions in my Blackberry has been a waste of time.

Another tip say export data from Palm as VCF which can import BlackBerrys, but did not say how they did it. Palm tools allows only the comma or tab files in the delimited export formats.

MY PC is a Dell 4600 with 2 GB of RAM and 300 GB SATA HDD, XP Pro SP3, so that all the relevant fixes SP3 post. Windows Firewall software, the AV and malware have been temporarily disabled, and I logged in as administrator too.

RESOLVED - 98%

A big thank you to everyone who contributed ideas. Here is the solution to most data transfer: -.

1. install the Blackberry Desktop Manager 4.5

2. download the latest tools of Palm Desktop Manager which is 4.1.4 (I used 3.6)

3. perform hotsync of Palm IIIx with Palm tools

4. disconnect the Palm Pilot from PC

5. connect the Blackberry to the PC

6. open Blackberry DTM and check ' device (PIN): "appears

7. Select the device switch Wizard, grant conditions and the next screen shows active button for Palm devices, click Next

8 calendar, addresses, etc. are read, previews of each appear for approval; with the exception of the calendar. Click OK to finish and get out

9. close DTM, disconnect Blackberry

10, opening relevant applications on Blackberry to check, all transferred no problem except the grille which was empty

I can live without the old calendar entries and do not have to manually re-create handfull. So the question is settled.

  • For blackBerry Smartphones sore area code

    I recently bought a Blackberry Pearl 8110 on ebay which has been used for about a month. It works perfectly, but if I don't set up all my contacts with the area code (those who have the same area code I do) it will automatically use the region code of '248' (not sure if it was the previous owner).  I use the previous phone's sim card, oh or incidentally, my carrier is AT & T and have no data plan. Someone had this problem? I have to get the data plan?

    On the BlackBerry, go to the phone application (or hit the Green call button), and then click the button Menu (button to the left of the trackball) and select Options--> Smart Dialing.  Scroll down to code: and enter your area code here.

    Press [Esc] (or [back] button - button to the right of the trackball) and select Save. Press [Esc] to return to the home screen.

    You should be OK now.

  • Need for blackBerry Smartphones to synchronize with MS Outlook backup the old files

    Hello

    I'm kinda stuck with my Blackberry Bold 9700.  He wiped my old entries in the calendar (even though I have "Keep forever" selected in options), but I need the calendar last points because I used it for the follow-up of meetings, events, etc.

    Before you reinstall an old backup, copy in Outlook and then re - install my current version is there any how else to get this info on the file backup and in Outlook.  I really want to install a previous version of the backup on my phone because when I do, he never wears on a large number of the phone ringing, settings, etc., and I still need to do to get things to normal.

    Help, please!

    (By the way, I use an older version of the device software on my phone (5.0.0.714) because I can't stand display new calendar version.)

    If you do want to restore a previous backup schedule, you can - calendar only, nothing else.

    When I tried to sync with my computer, asked me my password. I must have failed to make a note of it and I don't remember so that if I can't get to the next attempt he will erase all my data. How can I contact BlackBerry to reset it in order to avoid this problem?

    BlackBerry cannot help with your password.  The password contains a number?  You can use the ALT key on the blackberry for Numlock.  No other options here, try to disconnect the computer and do a battery pull.  Let the boot of the phone upwards and try your password again on the device only.  This will give you some further tests to amount out.

  • Msn for blackBerry Smartphones application

    I was wondering if you get charged for messages sent/recived on msn if I decide to the EGTT app?

    No, you will not be charged.  The MSN messenger uses your BlackBerry data plan, so as long as you have a data plan on your device, it will simply use these data.  The only reason why you will be charged is if you do not have a monthly data plan or if you happen to go over your allocated data (usually not a problem for most BlackBerry users).

  • Application of blackBerry for blackberry Smartphones Google

    Hello

    I just downloaded google app for blackberry which redirects emails to blackberry and I also setup BIS with my network provider so I have copies of emails and it works very well... I was wondering if it works fine if I remove my network provider BIS and I just have data on my phone?

    Thank you

    Mihir

    As long as this "data package" provided by your network provider IS the BlackBerry data Plan, you'll be fine.

    Otherwise, a generic data plan or the boot does not work on BlackBerry.

  • Calendar type to create for blackBerry Smartphones

    Hello

    I would like to know if it is possible to change the type of calendar when you add a new appointment in the default calendar application? Depending on the calendar, I mean "Default" and "Facebook"? I would like to create more, but I can't find how. And is it possible to use the 'default' one? I tried to go to Options-> advanced-> default Services Options and modify the CICAL but I can't change the value of it, only Facebook is available.

    I have the Curve 8530 and the most recent update.

    Thanks in advance!

    Oh, I was not SO clear (I can be slow too ahah)

    What I wanted to, that is. I used 3 calendars. By default, Group and Facebook. I added my appointments in 'Group' so I wouldn't add to facebook, but now this 'group' is gone. Let's say I want to add appointments in several groups as 'TV Show', 'Homework' or 'meetings '. Is it possible to create this group without a Plan of data or any email on my Blackberry?

    Hello

    Do you have manually created the calendar 'Group' or have you used Blackberry Messenger and were members of a group?

    It is difficult to discuss, as the Blackberry was designed for internet and e-mail access. The device default calendar actually serves mainly catch appointments lost of calendars associated with e-mail. What you ask, it's essentially maximum instead of what other users.

    I'm not saying that your application is not valid at all. I have an option to create a calendar using your examples of self appointed groups have never seen. I just tried it on a Blackberry 8330 and 9530 which are not connected to a data plan and my 9550 i.e. data enabled. All are on the device OS 5.0.

    It's the best answer I can provide.

  • Support for blackBerry Smartphones Q5 India

    Hi, (question could be repeated)
    Before you buy BlackBerry, I knew that its market is not as varied as android, but to my great disappointment I couldn't find apps 'base' which should have a smartphone. I need a free application map or navigation and to my great disappointment that BlackBerry maps does not work in India, in addition to that google don't provide maps for BlackBerry.
    Please tell me is there any map application can attest to BlackBerry? Would be happy to install in my machine.
    Thank you

    No, as I said, they are available in Android apps which you call is able to run for the right amount of.
    You will need to get them on an Android App store, there is a good app called Snap specially written to help with this...

  • Storage of applications for blackBerry Smartphones

    Hey everyone... I use my 9790 bold, he repeats to me my memory to applications is 512 MB internal memory of the phone's 8 GB! So is there anyway to increase this limited storage for applications? In addition, this space does not increase if I use an external MicroSD memory?

    Hello...

    There are three types of potential memory on a BB: 1) application memory, the device memory) 2 and 3) Media/SD Card Memory.

    Application memory - it is the most important; It is protected (not available to the user), dedicated and fixed (size: 512 MB in your case) space that is available to the House of the OS itself, as the destination for the installation of applications (more a few storage applications, overhead and other costs). You can't touch AppMemory. You cannot improve the maximum AppMemory that your BB has. It is what it is. Applications can install only here... There is no other choice.

    The device memory - it is space on your BB you can touch these files, images, media, etc. In general, it is not very big, but it is available.

    Memory card SD/Media- is what it says... your SD card to store files, media, photos, etc.. It can be as large as your BB OS can support... see this KB:

    • KB05461 Sizes of card MicroSD taken in charge by the BlackBerry device software

    On some devices/OS levels, you can see 'Free file' (Options > status), I think this is equivalent to AppMemory. You can see on other devices, all the memory usage levels three (Options > memory). Here are some tips to use:

    • KB02843 What is the function of low memory manager on the BlackBerry smartphone
    • KB14320 How to maximize space and power battery life on the BlackBerry smartphone
    • KB14213 Call logs, SMS text and email messages are deleted from the BlackBerry smartphone

    Finally, it is always important to correctly close applications when you are finished with them. Using the back or on the red button won't do that - those leave the app to decide what to do... and some let themselves memory-resident, consumes resources on your BB, slowing down the overall performance. On the contrary, to close an application, tap on and select 'Close' or 'Quit'... which force the application to be closed, freeing resources for your new use it consumed. Some applications will always be running (in general - BBMessenger, browser, homescreen, phone and Messages)... but, you should always close them properly - especially the browser... If we leave on a web page, it will not consume only additional resources, but the power of the battery as well.

    In addition, each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy. Some have taken to do this on a regular basis as a preventive measure... some as often as once a day. Others got the app QuickPull to automate a simulated Batt Pull.

    Good luck!
