Palm Centro 690 - for Verizon

• Windows Vista & Palm Centro 690 do not talk to each other

  After my other phone went through the washing machine I changed to this Palm unit.  Active, came home and installed the synchronization software, worked well.  A few days later tried to synchronize again, no luck.  I'm working on for a few weeks trying to get it working again!  I talked to the local office of Verizon, they suggested that I talk to a technical support.  Them, spent more than an hour on the phone with them the uninstallation of the software, called again, download the new software, once again, still nothing, done a reset and a format and still nothing.  Have been using the Palm as a normal phone and that's fine.  I was unable to figure out what to do.  I even talked to Hp technical support, is not their problem! talk to the people of palm.  So here, I looked through your forms but did not find everything that is related to the Centro and Vista.  I'm almost ready to try anything that seems reasonable.

  Thank you, who finally did the trick, don't know what the difference is / was, but I don't like as it works again. Next time I try a synchronization, I'll try the front USB port and see what happens.  Gluton for the trouble I guess!

  Once again, thanks a lot for your help.  He is LARGELY APPRECIATED.

• Palm Centro driver for Windows 10

  I've had my phone for 8 years and I'm not about to change.  I would like to be able to use it with my new laptop and it has win10-64 on it.  The device appears in Device Manager, when it is plugged in, but the Palm and the laptop connect, that drivers are not updated.  Where can I find the updated drivers for this palm device?

• Verizon Palm Centro with data block incoming picture message issue

  My wife & I have Verizon Palm Centro.  We have a data block on the account that we only wanted to fuse our PDA with our phone to carry less devices.  Recently, someone she knew sent him a picture message.  She never received as to be expected since we have a block of data.  BUT now his phone constantly freezes and will not allow her to put it to sleep.  I noticed that when he behaved in this way, there are two icons triangle above the antenna meter chart, which mean the transfer of data (they go gray and then become green and grey).
   
  To try to remedy the situation, I did a soft reset.  One more question.  Did a Hard Reset.  One more question.  She took it to the Verizon store.  They said he had no trouble finding.  Has continued to be a problem.  Then I saw on the Palm site there is an upgrade of the operating system.  Done (which includes some reset hard).  One more question.  The next day, my wife returned to the Verizon store.  This time, they saw the issue.  They said there was nothing they could do, but give him a new phone.  She brings the phone home and same problem.  I then HotSync had to get all its data back on the phone.
   
  Now, I get a little concerned, as it has been 5 days since the beginning of the question.  As this problem happening my wife tells me of the picture message sent him these days ago.  While it's a data connection, I opened the message Centre and there is an icon of mail with arrows to move through it stay at 0%.  When that disappears, the triangle icons disappear from the graph of power antenna.
   
  I call the technical assistance.  The person is very and said we should would never block because someone should only get this phone for data.  I explained that we wanted only to combine devices.  I explained the picture message. blah blah blah.  He then says that it is from a software on the phone.  Takes me through a bunch of read him information.  All the time that he does not believe me that it's something to do with the unrecovered MMS (which we do not want yet).  In any case, it is more than an hour on the phone with the guy.  It had Palm on instant message and at the back of their hand for me.  He then tells me to do a Hard Reset.  I told her that I've already done a lot and it was not the solution.  I had to do because it could it resolve, he said.  I did, and for the next few minutes, it doesn't lock upwards with the icons.  That is why he said it was fixed and it was something we did on the phone.  Then, he wanted to end the call.  As he was not driving, I ended the call.
   
  Well..................  I did a restore complete everything on the phone my wife, starting by a Safe Hotsync for his calendar, list of tasks and addresses.  Then I restored one - by - one all of his requests including its Documents to go files, etc..  It took another hour +.  The phone worked ok for some time and now 1 day later... The same thing is happening again.
   
  Is there a way to stop this madness?  Verizon can't kill what is trying to get out?  Is there something in the Palm that can kill the message?  Any help would be great.

  PS Our phones have the same exact software on them with the same applications, provided with the phone and the modules provided by Verizon/Palm.  We have the same ringtones.  We have the same content of music on our MicroSD cards.  The only thing different is photos we have taken.  My phone doesn't have this problem.  The only difference is that picture stupid someone message.  Hopefully, it's not mine.  Thanks again.

  Thank you very much for the reply.  After that I posted this, I contacted Verizon Technical Support.  It seems that the problem was exactly what I said it was.  There was a picture message which was held by the data block, but still somehow try to get on the phone.  I spent some time with a very competent tech person who took the time to solve the problems with me (and down tell me).  We tried to remove the block to see if the message would come through.  Still problem.  We went through all kinds of things to reprogram and realign the phone to the Verizon network.  Still problem.  Then he looked again and found a setting in the application of message for MMS messages fired automatically.  When I disabled this setting, bam message came (no picture because of the block) and the problem stopped.  I was very pleased with the help and the phone my wife is no problem.

  P.S., while my wife & I have the same contacts this is a manual process to keep the same.  We have different identifiers of Palm.  Our devices are different.  The only reason why I mentioned in my original post how we hae the inforamtion even had to point out that his phone was screwing and mine was not (with essentially the same content).  Once again, thank you.  G

• Find ESN for Palm Centro on Sprint - sticker Missing

  Hello

  My girlfriend recently cracked his palm pixi screen and was hoping to find a temporary phone to use until it can replace it, so I contacted my friends and gave me his old Sprint Palm Centro. Unfortunately, the sticker with ESN/MEID is missing from the phone and he can't find the box, so we cannot find the ESN to say sprint CS to activate the phone with. She tried to take it to the Sprint store but they didn't know anything, so I thought that I ask here if anyone knows how to find it in the operating system. Most other OS' you seem to have a way to find, but I was baffled so far in my attempts to locate him.

  Ideas?

  Thank you!

  Hello Simon and welcome on Palm forums.

  You might want to try the following.  I tested it on a Palm Treo 755 p, I have disabled.  It should work the same way for the Centro.

  Turn on the cellular radio by pressing the power button and hold.  Once the cellular radio, press the phone button on the Centro to access dial pad screen.  Then, press the key on the keyboard Menu, and select Options > Phone Info in the menu.

  Info phone screen should show you a number of items on the Centro, including its ESN number and software version.

• Emulation of PC for Palm Centro

  I have a Palm Centro with a broken screen (it broke and has this black bird shit and white it wait).  But I do not think that the data has been damaged.  I brought to the sprint store and they said they could access the data, but that they could not trasmet it because the phone has been password protected.  They suggested that I try to plug it into my computer and synchronize it.  I had never done this before (a bonehead move my hand and something I do now with my new phone).  And although I could do to connect and to recognize the device / connection of the computer, he told me that I have to wipe out of sync for the first time.  I'm sure it's because I have a password on the phone, that I could type in, if the screen worked.

  With all this, so I have a simple question.  Is there some sort of base of Windows XP Pro 'emulator' (run via USB) that I could put on my computer and then effectively "take back" my Palm Centro?  If I could do it, I could paste the password and hopefully access the data we're here so I can copy it to my computer and then load it or type it in my new phone.

  I appreciate any information that might serve as someone in the forum and thanks in advance for your consideration.

• Windows Vista will not install device driver for Palm Centro

  My PC Windows Vista can't find info from device driver to install my new Palm Centro.  I downloaded the latest version of the Palm software.  Any ideas?  Thank you!

  What version of Vista you have?  32-bit or 64-bit?

  64-bit cannot sync via a cable - only via a wireless (BlueTooth or IR) method.

  I found the solution to this problem with another Member of this forum.

  I downloaded the free program DbFixIt of Pimlico Software, Inc., www.pimlicosoftware.com, & was able to install it on my Palm Centro.  I ran the program & it removed 2 problems of the Calendar database.  After that, the HotSync operation took place without problems.

• Palm centro does not recognzie the expansion card

  I have a Palm Centro (verizon). I tried to use a 4 GB SDHC expansion card. When it is inserted in the phone message is display: "the startup for this card application cannot be executed.  I tried to use a 128 MB SD card, but got the same result.  Could it be related to something faulty in the phone or am I missing something in the settings?

  I was able to understand the problem and I want to put the results for others who may encounter the same problem. At first, I thought that the problem was a faulty sd card or a faulty device of Centro. The original problem was trying to import pictures and video of my portable hard drive to expansion card and display on the Centro. Trying to access the expansion card in the Centro, it displays the message 'cannot perform this task because there is no support or the media is protected. "  Solution: I was able to determine that I could add files to the media Office of Palm application and then synchronize. He Centro.  Photos and video can then be saved in the Centro expansion card.  The Centro is compatible with JPEG, BMP, PNG and GIF pictures.  The Centro is compatiable with MPEG 4, 3GP and video file extensions 2 G 3.

• Brazilian firmwre level Palm Centro

  Hello

  A few years ago Palm released a update for the Brazilian version of Palm Centro that solved a problem whit incoming calls freeze BOUNCING.

  I have the files needed to update the ROM but I forgot how to start the Palm Centro from SD card, as update procedures indicates that it will take to copy all of the files on a SD card and start the phone to the card.

  Can anyone here tell me how to start the Palm Centro from SD card?

  Try the Palm/HP knowledge base article:

  It happens to be for Sprint phones, but the procedure of update of map memory is detailed.  Hope that does this for you

• Palm Centro will not turn on

  Hello

  I bought a Palm Centro refurbished about 7 months ago. In recent days he refused to turn on at all, so far I have tried pulling the battery for anywhere from 5 minutes to 30 hours and putting again. Same thing every time, the red light comes on, the screen remains blank.

  I have left this phone hoked up to wall charger for more than 12 hours in a row and am quite sure that it is not a battery problem.

  Some information about this phone:

  For a little more than a week before that it would scroll through hotsync indefinitely without any cables that are attached. I would like to pull the battery plug it back and the hotsync cycle jump upwards as soon as he end of initialization, it would then stay in hotsync display 'connect to computer' I would press cancel, after a few mintues it would, then he would cycle all over again.

  He also seems to be corrupted in the diary entry, but appears not hardware related.

  The phone is originally a reman, I purchsed it about 6 months ago and within a few weeks, I noticed that the power button was less than perfect, I ignored a month ago, when she started to I have to pull the battery to end a call the button would not register to hurry.

  I called AT & T and was told that because this AI a reman, they offer only a warranty for 90 days (written near the middle of the team of specialists).

  Any suggestions are appreciated gratefully.

  I doubt simple moisture could cause it to fail--it usually involves the lower part of the phone is dipped in the liquid or a good splash on it.   Users to use hair dryers on low, or ask the phone (with battery removed) under a desklamp which releases gentle heat.

• Updated the Treo 650, Palm Centro, unable to synchronize all the data of the device

  Hello, I bought a new palm centro once my treo 650 took a bath.  I was able to load all my previous data on the new device with no problems, but I've been unable to hotsync since.  If I do a hard reset I can load it all on the property.  The only third party application that I use is datebook5.  I bought the program dbfixit and repaired all the blobs on my calendar entries, but I am still unable to sync anything (even memos, todos, address book, make a pocket computer > computer replacement).  I also deleted my palm desktop user name that I use a new fresh user profile and I still get the same error messages.  I also ran the palmhotsyncsetup.exe of Pimlico software.

  Here is the error message I get:

  Hi jacobkaucher,

  Welcome to the Palm Forums. A quick question for you. Do you use wireless sync to get your email on the phone?

  If you are, then this is your problem. If not, skip the rest of this post. Wireless Sync disables the Palm Desktop software. If you want to get your e-mail and synchronization, I advise to use VersaMail instead. If you really want to use Wireless Sync and still cradle sync, here are steps on how to re-enable the lines: http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=37678. This will allow you to start the synchronization again, but beware, you might start to get copies of your data.

• Palm Centro / 64 bit Windows Vista

  Everyone figured out how to sync music to a Palm Centro using Windows Vista 64-bit?  My understanding is that there is not a USB for Vista 64 driver.  I can already my Centro Bluetooth HotSync, which works (although slow) but cannot sync music and like anyone with a Centro knows, it is inconvenient to remove the memory cards.

  Even if there is a way to sync music files to your center of the Vista desktop, music files tend to be large and take a long time to synchronize.  The best way to put music files on your card with any OS is drag & made slide/audio selecting folder on your card with a card reader.  Suppression of the Centro SD micro card isn't all the * who * inconvenient.  Is not like you need to do it very often.
