Re: Soft reset
Unless the phone locks up there is no reason to reset it at all. why would you want to reset it daily?
Re: Transfering older PALM OS data
The 750 hardware may be better than the 650 but the real problem is windows mobile. In a word it sucks! I tried the 700w before getting my 650 and I hated it. It clunky and un-responsive, and take too many clicks to do anything. If you like the palm os go for the 650 or if you switch to verizon get the 700p.
Re: Transfering older PALM OS data
Data should be no problem at all, apps might be a problem. Before you start, go to where you have palm software installed and make a backup copy of profile folder just in case. Then install the latest version of palm desktop. Now when you sync the treo as long as you use the same username, it should sync your existing data to the device. Some older palm apps will run on OS 5 some ...
Re: Palm Treo 650 -New purchase?
Are you familiar with palm pdas? If so it is exactly the same. The palm os is definitely the best handheld interface out there. It may not have all the potential features of windows mobile, but it has better memory handling and is designed from the ground up for handheld use, with a minimum of taps to get anything done.
Call quality has been very good for me although the reception is not as strong ...
Re: Do I have to buy phone on exchange site?
no
Re: Treo 650 users...anyone switch to 700
I tried out the 700w, before I got my 650. The windows os is just not suited to handheld devices. It is slow, clunky, and has lousy memory management. It takes to many clicks to get anywhere in the the interface. The palm interface is not perfect but it is designed for handheld devices. Now that the 700p is out, you can get all the extra hardware advantages of the 700 platform with the ...
Re: Already Purchased Replacement- WHAT DO I DO?
This whole subject has been discussed quite extensively both in this forum and over on howardforums.com. Many people have been in touch with the attorneys on the case and verizon. Unless you opted to cancel your service you get no money back unless you buy a new phone, and the refund is the lesser of the amount spent on a new phone and accessories or the v710. This subject has been beaten to death already. ...
Re: Already Purchased Replacement- WHAT DO I DO?
You must buy a replacement to get any refund. You will only get a refund for any amount you spend on a replacement up to the the amount you paid for the v710. If you spend $100 on a replacement you get $100 back even if you spent $300 on the v710. If you don't buy a replacement phone from the website you get nothing back even if you send in the v710. What you ...
Re: Ringer
Try Volumecare http://gotreosoftware.com/products/VolumeCare Pro/ It let's you boost the volume of ringers and all other sounds on the treo
Re: Can anyone give me specifics on the 650's MP3 capability???
There is no itunes for the palm platform. However you can get pockettunes from pocket-tunes.com for $35. Alternatively you can use tcpmp (the core pocket media player) which is an open source player that supports most of the major audio codecs plus play video like divx, xvid, mp4 and others. This one is free and works really well. You can get it at http://tcpmp.corecodec.org/about
Re: How well does Outlook/Contacts/schedule sync work?
Not at all. In their infinite wisdom, vzw created a common user interface for all their phones. The way they implement this is with a software overlay. This software overlay includes a calendar that is in addition to the built-in calendar. Unfortunately on the moto phones(v3c razr and v325) that have this ui, there is a conflict between the 2 calendars and it completely screws up the calendar, and syncing just doesn't work. There ...
Re: Treo 650 or 700
Do you have any history with palm of windows mobile devices? Personally I have been using palm devices since 1999 and when the treo 700 came out I went to the store to check it out. After about 2 minutes, I decided I hated the windows mobile interface. The palm interface is a much better hand-held interface IMHO. Also do you have any interest in EVDO? If so the 700 is the only ...
Re: Treo 650 vs. iPod Nano for music playing
No the ipod is definitely the easiest way to go for a music player. Set up itunes and plug in the ipod and it can sync automatically. I have an ipod and a treo 650. You can do it on the treo but the ipod is absolutely the easiest interface for navigating a collection of music. an older person especially may have difficulty with the treo keyboard. The click wheel works better if you ...
Re: mp3 thru bluetooth
No. The v710 doesn't have this capability.
Re: Does anyone have a good ringtone maker?
Itunes is produced by apple and is free. It can play mp3, aac, wav, aiff and apple lossless aac formats. You set the import setting to 96 kbps mp3. Then you right click on a song in your itunes library and go to get info. On the options tab of the get info dialog box, you can set the start and stop time for a 30 second interval of tha song. Click OK and ...
Re: Does anyone have a good ringtone maker?
Do you want mp3 ringtones? If so you can use itunes or audacity, to take an existing mp3 file and trim it to make a tone. Cut out a 30 second clip from the song and save it to 96 kpbs or less bit rate. Audacity is a an open source audio editing program and itunes is of course free as well.
Re: If you don't have your original V710 receipt ...
I went back to the vzw store where I bought mine last fall and got a duplicate copy of my purchase reciept printed out. No problem.
Re: Able to transfer data with VW- MP3s, pics, etc.?
It's actually not hard. You need a usb cable. MPT is the motorola phone tools software. PST is the motorola phone programming tool. A seem is part of the software programmed into the flash memory of the phone. It is re-writable, and used to enable/disable functions/features of the phone. Verizon sets a bit in one of the seem files to disable transferring files over usb. They do this to force customers to ...
Re: Questions vzw can't answer
That was the ticket. Of course it should have intuitively obvious to look under the get it now menu. Now maybe someone should tell the reps at verizon where to find it. Looking around elsewhere, it appears the developers of motorola phone tools had to disable the syncing of the calendar on the v325 because of an issue with the verizon ui. Apparently the verizon ui actually sits on top of the motorola so there ...
Re: Questions vzw can't answer
Actually the memory is not displayed anywhere in the vzw menu. I went through all that with the vzw reps and it wasn't there on 325. Other verizon phones apparently will display this but not the 325
Questions vzw can't answer
So I spent about 45 minutes on the phone being bounced around with vzw reps the other day and nobody could figure this one out. How much memory does the v325 have, and how do you figure out how much is available? There is nothing anywhere in the "wonderful" new vzw common interface that will reveal that seemingly trivial piece of information.
Also has anyone figured out a way to get pics off the phone or ...
Re: megapixels/photo quality increase with memory card???
Adding a memory card will have absolutely no impact on the quality of images from the v710. The only thing it will do is allow you to store more crappy images. the image quality is governed by the sensor, the processing algorithm, and most importantly the lens. Pretty much all phones have terrible plastic lenses and hence produce bad images. The memory card is irrelevant. You can change resolution by pressing the meny button ...
Re: Cingular Version
don't hold your breath. It has been said that Verizon has 6 month exclusive on this one. Plus palm has not shown any signs of a gsm version of this phone. I tried this thing out last week and although the evdo and the new camera are nice, the screen and the especially windows are a big step backwards in my opinion. I found the windows interface much more clumsy and non intuitive to ...

The site says Trimode but I thought the v325 was an e815 without bluetooth? Isn't e815 not trimode?
The v325 is not an E815 w/o bluetooth. It is actually an enhancement of the v276. It has a smaller screen but same resolution as the 815 (1.9"vs 2.2"). It is apparently tri-mode. It does not have a micro-sd slot like 815. It does have a mini-usb connector. It also has a monochrome display ...
Re: expandable memory card
The MiniSD card is about twice the size of transflash. Sandisk developed the transflash card format. The SD standards group recently approved the transflash design as the new microSD format. Presumably other phone and memory manufacturers will eventually adopt the MicroSD card.
At any rate the V710 uses transflash/MicroSD memory cards.
Re: MP3 Users: Where are you getting them?
For itunes songs you can use jhymn from http://www.hymn-project.org/jhymndoc/ . Check out the instructions about the BIG SECRET. This will remove all the id info. If you do this future updates to itunes won't be able to re encrypt your songs. Once you have removed the drm just right click on the track in your itunes library and select convert to mp3. Now you can put the straight mp3 on the phone.
Re: What's Coming up in phones?
Actually Motorola recently announced a CDMA version of the razr. However knowing vzw it wont be available until about 6 months after they release the treo 650, if that ever happens.
Re: Bluetooth on V710
In order to use the V710 bluetooth with MPT you need MPT 3 and the updated firmware on the phone. The original firmware will not allow you to sync the phone via bluetooth. If you have a usb cable to connect the phone to the computer, you can flash the phone yourself. A good set of instructions and links to all the required software files can be found here http://motov710.blogspot.com/#110255153312169 866

Re: Tungsten T and SMS/Tap Dial
I found some info, although I can't remember where, probably hofo. Anyway this only works if your phone has been flashed with the new firmware.
1. Pair the palm to the v710 via bluetooth.
2. In preferences on the palm go to connections and create a new custom connection. Use the following settings for the connection:
-Connect to: Phone
-Via: Bluetooth
-Device: your v710
-Model: Standard GSM
Go to Details
-Speed: ...
Re: Get me online?
The BT dial-up networking profile has been enabled since day. I got my verizon V710 last august when they came out and I was online with my palm tungsten within a couple of hours. The file transfer protocol was/is disabled but this is not needed to use the phone as a wireless modem. Another item that works now is dialling directly from the palm phone book. In theory this should work with pocket pcs ...
Re: Get me online?
Actually, you don't need the update to get online. Bluetooth dial-up networking was always supported on the v710. Mainly the update allows you to sync phonebook, calender and media files via bluetooth with a pc. It also changes the image processing algorithm to improve picture quality a bit. If you are not concerned with BT syncing leave your phone as is and just set up the axim to communicate.
Re: Photo Transfer via Transflash
What file format are you using? I believe the phone only supports jpg.
Re: SD update
yes to both

Re: bluetooth headset ringer
You need to update your phone with the new firmware. The new updated firmware allows the phone to ring while paired with the headset. It also fixes various other problems. You need a usb cable to do it. If you look around in this forum or on this thread http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?s=&thr eadid=513683
you can find all the files and instructions. I have flashed my phone and 2 others with no problems.
Re: please someone give me detailed info how to connect MPT via BT.please it the last thing on my li
If your computer has built in bluetooth (and I am not aware of any that do other than macs) then you are all set. If your computer does not have bluetooth built in, how would you expect it to communicate with a bluetooth device? Would you expect a computer without a wifi adapter to be able to connect to a wireless network?
Of course you need a bluetooth adapter for your computer if you want to ...
Re: MPT 3.19
You can transfer pictures if you have reflashed your phone with the new SuperDave firmware. You have to manually configure mobile phone tools manually to use the V710m rather than the V710. The m is the OEM motorola version rather than the verizon. If you are configured for the verizon version it will not transfer an media files. the V710m enables the media gallery which can be synced via bluetooth
Re: software update
Rar files are archives like zip files. Download a copy of winrar from http://www.rarlab.com/ and then extract the setup files for PST. Once you extract the archive run the pst setup and then copy the uni_patch to the pst progam files directory. Run the uni_patch from the pst directory and patch all the files. Once you have done this run the MultiFlashFlex.exe file and flash away.
Re: software update
Check out the post above from spiff. It has links to the software and the threads on howardforums. Basically you install the PST software and the key patch. Then you plug in the phone and flash. I have done my phone and 2 others today all successfully.
