I am looking for a utility to override the automatic off feature. I
currently have a Tungsten E and will be purchasing a T|X shortly. I am
not worried about the battery drain as I keep it plugged in the
charger when I am at work. Thanks.

I just upgraded to Vista, and my Tungsten E2 works fine and syncs ok, except
when I try to do a quick install of a program or file.  Then I get an error
message saying "An application failed to respond to a
HotSync notification".  I've tried this with a couple of different ...

I was reading article in Information Week and they mentioned that palm will
release the patch for Daylight Saving Time for Treo at the end of next week
(begining of March), isn't it little late to release tha patch and then
have everyone update it before March 11.

I have a Palm Zire 72 and, due to somehow bending the pin of the power
connector, need to open the unit up.
Can anyone please advise what size screwdriver (torx I presume) I need
and where I may obtain one?

I have gone through 2 Palm Tungsten E2's in the last 6 months. Both just
failed unexpectedly. I have been lucky enough to get a refund from the store
(thank you John Lewis), and I would be grateful for any suggestions for
replacements.

This is VERY annoying. I've taken some Videos with my mobile phone and
decided to transfer them to my Palm TX for viewing.
I transferred them using Bluetooth and all went well until completion of the
last file then a message "Files received in unknown format" was displayed.

I'm trying to sync my Palm TX with Bluetooth, and I can't seem to get it
right.  I have WinXP, SP2, and I can connect my TX to another TX for file
transfer, but I can't seem to set up the sync.
Can anyone direct me to a good tutorial, how to guide etc?

I post this in the hope that I can prevent someone making the same
mistake as I did.  I bought a LifeDrive and MarkSpace MissingSync so I
could sync iLife apps with the LifeDrive.
This worked fine for a while, but as of the past 2 weeks, MissingSync

Hi, just got a new TX the toher day, and I was so pumped to use the wi-fi,
that all my syncing was done through there.  Just tried the cable out, and
it's not working tho'.  It keeps saying "cannot launch installer" and it
makes the sounds like it's being plugged in and unplugged ...

I have a backup system and am trying to figure out what files need to be
linked for backup.
I am using Palm Desktop 4.1.4 for my Palm Tungsten E2 on Win XP.
If I am correct, the only folder I need to keep is the one that is named

To get out of a problem not solved by soft and hard resets, I have just
clean reset my HP hx2490b. Afterwards I noticed that the reported (in the
Today screen)  total ROM and RAM dropped by about 400kB and 180kB
respectively. I know the difference because I recorded the original ...

I have an X50V that I recently upgraded to WinMobile 5 and I cannot get
the unit to boot/reset completely.  It stops about 80% and hangs.  When
I remove the main battery and install it in the cradle and turn it on I
get the message a memory error has been detected.....  Nothing ...

Just recently moved to Palm after about three years of an iPaq, and I love
it. Unlike my Pocket PC experience, the Palm just works, time after time
after time after . . . . . I am sure you get the idea.
I enjoy using Graffitti but the "slipperiness" of the stylus on the writing

I am about to buy a Palm TX.
However I have read on some forums that the Palm TX produces a "hiss"
along with the sound when playing MP3 files.
Can anyone verify this or comment on the quality of the sound from the
