PDA Forum / Palm / April 2008

Anybody home ?

Within the last week, I ordered, received, and installed the glass
digitizer for the T|X from PDAPARTS.COM
 So far, I am very pleased with the results, and I thought I'd share
whatever useful and/or interesting observations I might have regarding

I started to program for Palm years ago and have been away from it.
Looking around it seems nobody is writing software for Palm or
Smartphones, is this a correct conclusion? Where can I find a
developer community? Are people still writing and selling software for

I just upgraded to desktop version 4.1.4 and now the font is so small it's
difficult to read. Is there a way to make it larger ?

If any product needed an extended warranty, it's this one.  
Started losing calibration at the bottom of the screen.  Normal
calibrator no help, since it only calibrates the upper half..
Then got worse, where taps at the very bottom edge would select items

My TX digitiser is needing resetting every hour - and sometimes
half-a-dozen times in an hour... the point the pen hits seems to drift
downwords, off the screen.
Palm said it had to be my software (which is unchanged, and worked just

OK, I bought TomTom 6 on DVD, as I used to have TT5 working on my LD,
and the specs are similar.  First off, when I installed it to the
internal drive, it crashed the LD every time it opened.  Then I wiped
it off, installed TT to a clean SD card, along with the maps and

I've just bought a Palm TX and I cannot use WIFI.
It does not appear in the task bar (I only have the Bluetooth icon)
I made a hard reset and even try an another language but it still does
not work. Did I forget something to activate WIFI?

I use CodeJedi ShadowPlan for Palm and Windows for a couple of years. A
week before I purchased the ShadowPlan for linux. But CodeJedi didn't
send me a registration key file or code.
I can't use the program (and also I don't know how to use it) with the

Need IIIxe support or just want an active group with a ton of files, yep that's right a ton of files over 30mb of em' for at least palm OS 4.0 & below. Group is spam free too. :). I allow anyone to join and no requirement to post anyting, also no waiting to join (for now), just ...

I have a Palm TX.  I frequently use Memos.  Last week something went
wrong, and whenever I select Memos on the Applications menu, my TX
does a soft reset.  The same thing happens when I select Memo from the
main menu.  I am unable to see any of my memos.  How can I fix this?

I am trying to find out where/how I can purchase a registered version
of Galax.
The registration link at http://www.pilotfan.com/register/ is no longer
functional and Tim Smith's E-Mail addr.  tim@pilotfan.com is now dead,

My Treo 650 is maybe two years old, but lately it seems to crash all
the time.   Well, at least lots of the time when a call is coming in.
I think I have this device all patched up, based on what's available
on the Palm web site.  If it matters, this is a Cingular phone.

Hello People,
I found a Palm Treo 700p in working condition.  It's a Verizon phone,
but it was reported stolen so I can't use it as a phone.  Can I still
use it as a PDA?  I've never owned a PDA before, and I don't know if

I've been using an E2 for the last couple of years. I'm getting fed up
with having to reset the thing once or twice a day. I do use a 1GB SD
card with it. Don't know whether that's part of the problem or not.
Anyway, I'm looking at replacing the E2. The only viable alternative
