Guest J273 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 so is it just pull the thing or press the button? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J273 Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 Done it.........phew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Done it.........phew The connector really does look fragile. Im worried that i might bend those tiny metal thingys at the end of it... I believe the button syncs it every time you press it. Someone correct me if im wrong.

Guest Fred01 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 The plug on my sync cable is very stiff as well. The socket on the phone looks pretty sturdy to me so any damage that might occur would be to the sync cable. Still, I think it's probably a lot less fragile than it looks. To remove it just pull it out, maybe twisting it a little to the side to unhook on side before the other. The button on the cable doesn't do anything. I believe this is the same cable as used by the Palm OS based devices (700p, 680, or the Palm Tungsten PDAs). On the PalmOS devices, the button activates HotSync to synchronise data. Microsoft's ActiveSync runs automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J273 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Whats on the software cd that comes with the treo?...is it just activesync and outlook again? As ive got activesync installed for my excaliber...Iask because when i go and plug my treo in it just comes up with unknown usb device recognised.

Guest Fred01 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 As ive got activesync installed for my excaliber...Iask because when i go and plug my treo in it just comes up with unknown usb device recognised. I've had (and am still having) some fun and games. It says somewhere, either in the manual or on Palm's web site, that new users must install stuff from the CD first before connecting their Palm. Failing to do this before connecting the sync cable would cause the wrong drivers to be installed. I therefore assume that the initial installation does more than just install a vanilla ActiveSync, and this is likely your problem. I've had the same issue when I tried to unistall / reinstall ActiveSync and didn't follow those instructions. I couldn't figure out a reasonable way to fix this so resorted to a rollback using System Restore. That may well not be an option in your situation, though. Anybody have any ideas?

Anybody have any ideas? nope, didnt have to install anything from the cd.........just plugged it in to my current version of active sync (4.1) and it recognised straight away...........syncs fine.............

(but its not a real problem, just me wanting utopia!) Well if you could live without a lot of storage or you are willing to swap cards in and out you could get a miniSD wifi card. http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5108.html The only things i didnt really like is that its bigger than a regular miniSD and the end sticks out of the slot and that its only 802.11b. But if you must have wifi this is a good solution i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
