Practically all of them compatible with the dark side PDAs. Really, palmone must show some cooperation with companies desiring to work to make the necessary drivers. So much opportunity. I wonder if it is fun though. They blame Palm for no Bluetooth or WiFi or whatever.
Has anybody considered that there are multiple technical problems involved? Not all problems are solvable. A responsible company won't release a buggy product. Companies other than Palm have had problems with Bluetooth products. Effective transmission with super low powered devices is not easy. The the folks in Palm management have many plenty of dumb mistakes, but there is no reason for them to stymie a desired product intentionally. Quit imagining the conspiracies.
Let's grow up and stop whining folks. One of my better managers in my career often said, "Don't look for conspiracy where you can find incompetance. Most that post here IMO are doing knee-jerk desktop equipment analogies that just don't fit. With desktop devices, you have plenty of power and space to cut corners to make something integrated and working. Palm OS devices are embedded systems so treat them like it and not desktop machines.
Thus you don't have extra CPU cycles for device background tasks. You can throw a rock and hit an above the API desktop software developer that needs work. Not so for PDA developers since the best have hardware backgrounds. PDAs follow more of the comsumer electronics model over desktop computers. Thus, there is a bit of "sillywood" influence where style has more influence over substance. The last five years have shown that "one trick pony attachements" have a very short product lifetime and eventually is designed into the next hardware revision -- no one buys the Pilot beaming attachment anymore since it is built in.
Fix: Tray icon not showing up on PC. Fix: Fix Cingular dialup error Fix: More stable connection, attempt to auto reconnect if possible. Fix: Compatible with PdaReach.
Enhancement: Allow user to use other applications while connected. See how. Fix: In previous version the installation will fail if it is unable to locate the latest version of HotSync software on your PC, sometimes this is mistaken.
This version will skip this checking. Feature: Some user did not read the instruction on the installation screen and try to initiate the Internet connection by dialing the modem entry. Why some images seem blurry on the web page when browsed through PdaNet? How can I run PdaNet as a background application on my Treo? What is the deal with Treo Firmware 3. Do I need it for PdaNet? The dial up progress stops at "Registering your computer on the network" and eventually shows error The PPP link control protocol was terminated.
Using Treo the Internet connection has established successfully but after a short period of time it disconnects Treo saids: "Hanging up data connection". After upgrade to Treo I got: "Error The modem or other connecting device is already in use or is not configured properly.
And my machine is not able to shutdown. Dialup error or or I am getting error or "make sure the USB cable is connected and PdaNet desktop is running". But I have checked the cable and it is connected. What's wrong? PDA shuts the screen off after 3 minutes and disconnect. PdaNet on the Treo side gives error: "Unable to open a modem port code: When PdaNet is connecting, it stops at "Registering your computer on the network" and my computer completely freezes I got a message on my PC prompting me to pick up the handset and dial and then press ok.
I got audio message "feature code you entered is not valid". Some other issues What is required to install PdaNet? Installation is no brainer: First uninstall previous version of PdaNet if that applies, then download and install the trial version on Windows. That's it. It will ask you to HotSync during the installation process so that PdaNet.
To launch the connection everytime simply find the PdaNet icon on your Treo and tap on it with HotSync cable connected, of course. First of all you need to uninstall the existing version from your computer. After you uninstall the old version, visit our website and download the latest trial version then install it on your PC.
Do HotSync when you are prompted to. You should not need to enter your registration code again since it should be remembered on your machine. PdaNet usage is treated as wireless data usage the same as usage from the Blazer browser. Air minutes phone usage will not apply. Different cell phone carriers provide different wireless data plans. Simply close do NOT hit "redial" the error dialog and try again after a few seconds, if it is still not working, try to reboot.
If rebooting does not help, then it could be caused by a failed uninstallation and the PdaNet software is trying to bind to the native modem on your PC. First verify that the dialing is bound to the wrong modem: while the dialing is in progress, right click on the "PdaNet Modem" entry in "Network Connections" panel and select "Properties" you have to do this before closing the dialup error dialog.
You can resolve this by uinstalling the device driver of your native modem from Device Manager , then try to run PdaNet again to make sure it works.
Then you can re-install the native modem driver. There could be a few causes for this problem. First of all try to select a different network profile from the drop-down box above the "Connect" button on Treo before connecting and see if any of them helps.
This is because GPRS automatically utilizes a "fallback" profile whenever needed, with PdaNet you have to manually set it if the default one does not work. Now launch PdaNet and tap the "Connect" button without changing the profile. It will drop the active connection you just established and start the dialing.
The problem could also be caused by a bug in the Treo Firmware, see Firmware and Update for details. After upgrade to Treo I got "Error The modem or other connecting device is already in use or is not configured properly.

If you are seeing the following error when dialing up: On Windows XP: Error A connection to the remote computer could not be established becase the modem was not found or was busy.
On Windows Error The connection failed because the modem or other connecting device was not found. Please make sure that the modem or other connecting device is installed. Please verify that the modem is plugged in to the computer and to the telephone line. That might be because you missed the instruction on how to initiate a connection.
You are supposed to tap on the PdaNet icon on your Treo screen to begin with instead of launching the dialup connection manually. So if you install the software from your desktop and connect the Treo to your laptop, you will receive this error, because PdaNet Desktop is required on your PC. To connnect the Treo to both your desktop and laptop, you need to install twice.
Also, make sure your PdaNet trial period has not expired. If your first installation of PdaNet on this machine is more than 21 days ago, you will not be able to connect unless you reset the trial period or register. Contact us if you need to reset the trial period. PdaNet provides your PC with full Internet access, however your email account is provided by your email service. Try to contact your ISP to see if there is an alternative SMTP server you can use which is not private, or you can access web mail through the browser if they provide one.
If they don't, maybe it is time to consider a free email service such as Yahoo mail or Hotmail. Using Treo , the Internet connection has established successfully but after a short period of time it disconnects. There is a bug in the Treo Operating System which should have been fixed. Although you might already be using version 4.
This is because there have been two releases of PdaNet Desktop version 4. To see what version of Palm Desktop software you are currently having, goto the Handspring directory and right click on file HotSync. In the version tab you should see at least 4.
On Treo , tap on the security app in the launcher clear the auto lock.
