How To Series: Calibrate your Digitizer or Reset your screen taps
0 Comments Published August 29th, 2006 in howto, palm, quicktipsThanks for visiting Palm Discovery
If you find that over time that the Palm isn’t correctly recognizing your taps, or that the screen is drawing slightly above or below or “off” where you currently have your stylus, then it’s time to “digitize” your Palm or “calibrate” the digitizer. Doing so normally can reset the Palm to [...]

Here’s a cute and simple game called CandyTrain that can be quite challenging to play as well. The game is quite simple. Your objective is to direct the Candy Train along the grids of the board by flipping the tracks, providing a path for the train so that the [...]

Not much of a posting but I wanted I take the opportunity to wish Palm Addicts a very Happy seventh Birthday.
Seven years is quite a feat for a blog site and Palm Addict seems to continue to keep growing and getting better! May there be seven more [...]
How To Series: Restore from a backup archive stored on your SD card
0 Comments Published August 25th, 2006 in howto, palm, quicktipsThanks for visiting Palm Discovery
It seems almost fitting to provide a video of how to restore from a previously backed up archive that’s stored on your SD card since the last How To Series discussed how to do the hard and zero out resets which wipes out all the data on the Palm devices. So, [...]

Please Note: Pref Doctor has since been renamed to Reset Doctor. This posting was originally written as when the program was named PrefDoctor. I have updated the links and made the name changes in the review but kept the title the same. Please keep that in mind.

How to Series: Record a few seconds of audio on your Treo
2 Comments Published August 16th, 2006 in howto, palm, quicktipsThanks for visiting Palm Discovery
Yes, I’m quite aware that the Treo 650 doesn’t really have a Voice Memo app in it like the LifeDrive, T3, Zire 72 and others, but, wait, it sort of does. Let me explain.
Although there isn’t an application that shows up in the launcher, we all know that the capability to [...]
Essential Treo app #1: StopDim prevents auto screen dimming while on a call

I am now starting a new Essential app series, but more specifically for the Treo 650 (although some may work for the 600 and 700p). Although many of the programs I’ve discussed in the essential app series may work fine on the Treo, I feel that I should discuss programs [...]

Binary Clock version 3.0 is out and it looks even better! I’m amazed at how the face can now show different colors and looks quite different from version 2, but I’m unable to figure out how to do so.
If you aren’t familiar with Binary Clock, you may want to read my [...]

After reviewing and trying out various clock applications, it’s actually quite a difference almost like a breath of fresh air to find a simple clock application that is just a clock and not something much more.
