Re: SD card woes
I've had something like that happen to a 512MB card in a Tungsten T. I forget how it happened. There werent many files in the particular directory. I ended up reformatting the card. On 4/13/2010 11:41 AM, Harry wrote: Hi all, I am experiencing problems with the TE2 and SD-cards. When an application writes too many files into a directory the directory may get corrupted. This happens e.g. with many 512MB cards when say 200 files with 1K of text each are written with VFSFileOpen/-Write/-Close. Suddenly the directory shows dozens of garbage entries like ñ7y+õÅ■.N à 271614 KB 27.03.2074 23:45 ÛZ T.Ûý,.Öbj 3776489 KB07.08.1993 01:48 -4=--.l./' Directory It seems the VFS layer or the corresponding FS-lib play havoc with the directory. Alas I cannot ask the user to format those SD cards out in the field. I need to gracefully repair them by removing/deleting those 'fragments' or by deleting the directory that was corrupted. Unfortunatley the VFS/FSLib functions cannot delete those entries because the file names are invalid. Neither can I delete the corrupt directory because it is not emtpy. Any ideas on how to get rid of this garbage without formatting the entire card?

Re: Reset Loop after Debugging
Yeah, I determined that it was my particular app. It doesn't matter if
I'm debugging or not. My app always causes a reset loop if I use it.
Also, it didn't free up the bluetooth resources either... even though I
explicitly had it close the port and library.
I've not had much luck trying to write bluetooth apps.
I can attach the entire source for the program... can anyone point out
something I'm doing wrong right off the bat?
Thanks

It is normal, that the device goes into the reset loop after finish.
But the loop reset is propably caused by your application. Maybe
memory leak or something like this. Or insufficient memory space.
Check it.

Here is a simple way to communicate with your bluetooth serial device,
this example code is as simple as possible you have to implement the

You have to:
1) Load the Library
2) Find a device if not already known
3) Open the connection
4) Use it (Receive, Send, Flush, etc.)
5) Close the connection

Re: Classic emulator interface on Palm Pre
It really doesn't have a card slot? I would be certain that they'd put it in the battery compartment like the Centro at least. Palms have always had card slots, haven't they? One thing I'm kinda pissed about is that I heard it has a capacitive touchscreen... which means no stylus. . . Now there's no reason to port any art programs onto the Palm Pre, and that's one of my favorite things to do on the Palm.

To me though it would be worth sacrificing a lttle more thickness for the undoubted usefulness of an SD slot.

Re: Classic emulator interface on Palm Pre
They have, however left the option of using dial-up in there right up to the centro. However some areas (northeast US switched over to somebody else running the PSTN and ffed up something so that wireless dialup calls no longer got through.) (CDMA only btw). I am actually surprised that Dialup over CDMA worked at all, considering the underlying protocol. I used dial up instead of a data plan for a while, until I just happened to get one for $5 a month (One of those famous screwups and they throw in a dataplan to make up for it), and then I ended up getting rid of that too. Nowdays, I realize that I don't need a dataplan at all. I have a laptop, and its always with me. Don Albertson wrote: I think it's more accurate to say that all the extras above and beyond the ability to make and receive phone calls are secondary to my needs. I got my Centro for $50 when I renewed my basic ATT contract -- which I would have done anyway because I get a discount. I no longer carry my E2 and a phone that takes pictures of the inside of my pocket but won't connect to my PC to share them. I can manage my calendar and my contacts using a real keyboard and keep the one at work sync'd to the one at home. I may not be typical, but I suspect that given the choice of having a sensible phone service plan over a full data plan a lot more people would take the sensible option. This, however, is not in the best interests of Spring, ATT, Verizon, et al. so you won't see sensible options -- just more ways to bill for airtime (whether you use it or not). dga Lee Church wrote: The days of the $200 PDA are gone forever.

None of my customers carry only a PDA and no cell phone. Asked which they would give up first, I would bet the PDA would lose. So let's do some math: option 1 would have been to buy a Tungsten E2 at $200, and get a free phone with a cell contract at $49 per month, and I carry 2 devices. Option 2 would have been (and now is) to pay $99 for a Centro (current market price in my area), plus $49 per month for cell service, and I carry one device. So option 2 costs me less money and cuts my device count in half; that seems like a good deal for the consumer. It's not the PDA portion of the device that costs $49 - 159 per month, it's the cell service. *From:* luis maldonado [mailto:luis.maldon...@hotmail.com] *Sent:* Wednesday, April 08, 2009 9:27 AM *To:* Palm Developer Forum *Subject:* RE: Classic emulator interface on Palm Pre Whatever the solution is in moving our apps to the new webOS platform is fine. however, it doesn't solve the issues of the PDA platform disappearing from the face of the planet leaving a PDA market without the necessary hardware to run these applications that are more of a realtime data collections than phone conversations. the beauty of the TX and similar PDAs is their pricing structure, once that is gone, then we have the Symbols and the like able to charge an exhorbitant price for PDAs which are used just to collect data and nothing more. so we're stuck with an expensive monthly phone service which is secondary to our real needs...

Re: Are you feeling special?
I think if palm is to survive they need to UPDATE PALM OS!! Seriously. It is supposed to be an OS not a calculator. Most palms come with software that make it only a little more useful than a datebook/calendar. Most people don't have a memory card to use with pTunes... and they would need a stereo adapter to use headphones anyways. A2DP Bluetooth is BUILT IN to Windows Mobile now. You have to buy $20 in software from a non-Palm vendor to do that (not to mention you have to FIND OUT about it). Also, Docs To Go is great... but anybody with a phone like a Treo650 didn't get it... or at least I didn't for some reason. Also it doesn't have the ability to create files... like in Pocket PC's Pocket Word. Also ... Hotsync is and always has been SLOW! Why??? I heard something about it not taking advantage of USB 2.0 high speed at all... and instead using legacy serial speeds. (am I wrong about this?). Either way... I NEVER hotsync because it just sits there seemingly frozen. I bet it would finish in a few hours. Another thing... most common cell phone users would like something better than Midi for ringtones these days. I didn't notice support for non-midi ringtones (native) until the Centro. I hear in Windows Mobile, you can select from a variety of file formats for ringtones - per contact! Windows Mobile (it seems to me) qualifies more as an OS than Palm does... its more useable out of the box... and you don't have to go searching for 3rd party vendors for all those common features you want. Hopefully the SDK for this new OS will actually allow Palm to get their act together. They had better. I think the only way they are going to survive is to make Palm OS integrate with Windows (the dominant OS) and office products even better than Windows Mobile currently does - and out of the box! Built in stuff, not 3rd party software. Well maybe 3rd party software wouldn't be bad if it integrated into the OS well. Also as I pointed out earlier... at least meet the minimum cell-phone user expectations. One thing they ought to add is a built-in PC-Palm file transfer feature... so that music and pictures can be downloaded waay easier. I'm sure many of the Windows Mobile phones already have a USB Mass Storage mode. I'm kinda debating as to whether I should aim for Palm job-wise... because I'm not sure whether it will survive. I really want them to, though. I am still awaiting the next Palm OS phone that has GPS and Wifi like the other recent models.

Re: Bluetooth Serial Connections
I went back to this project and I'm still turning up blank as to how to get BT connections working as a client. The definite error code is 0x030C - serial port configuration failed. can you give a good example of how exactly its done? (I think I have a bad parameter in my code or something). Oh also... something that's wicked annoying that I'm dealing with Whenever I disconnect my device from the debugger it resets and goes into a loop and i have to go and manually delete the thing every time. Its wicked annoying. Is there a way I can have the debugger remove the prc for me? ... or maybe its just that I should write a program thats better...? Thanks, Joseph M Fleming Edward Jones wrote: My first step then would be be confirm that you really are receiving chars over the Bluetooth serial connection. I use an open source product called AsyncPro (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpapro/) - but I also imagine that there are probably plenty of others - and open a standard COM port on the PC and display whatever comes in in ASCII. You should be able to find out what COM port your Bluetooth adapter is using on your PC and set AsyncPro to point at that. The advantage of this is that as it is displaying any chars that arrive on the port unformatted you can see if you are actually receiving or not. By the way you may also want to have a look at Peter Eastons site, http://www.whizoo.com/ who deals specifically in Bluetooth solutions for the Palm. I have found him very useful in the past.

So after pairing the devices, Palm-mobile phone or Palm-modem or Palm-pc etc (once done you should not need to do this everytime), the process I go through to setup and use a Bluetooth serial connection is: 1) open the Bluetooth lib 2) setup a callback routine to deal with Bluetooth discovery responses (BtLibRegisterManagementNotification) 3) start the discovery process (BtLibStartInquiry) 4) find out if the device I want to connect to is in range and responding in my callback routine setup in step 2 5) once I have the device, fill in the Palm structures sppUid, btParams and SrmConfig 6) close the BtLib (**important**!) 7) open the serial connection using SrmExtOpen 8) send data to the paired device over the serial ink using SrmSend 8) use SrmReceiveWait to wait for incoming traffic and receive that data using SrmReceive 9) finally once I am done, use SrmClose to close the serial port If you want I have a working example in Pascal which goes through the processes to connect to a Bluetooth modem.

Those files are in the folders I mention in #2. 2. Check Windows Firewall. Make sure PalmSim_54_dbg.exe and PalmSim_54_rel.exe are in the allowed programs list (I forget the real name of the exes). If not, ADD them. They are typically in: C:\Program Files\ACCESS\Garnet OS Development Suite\sdk-5r4\tools\Palm_OS_54_Simulator, debug and release subfolders respectively. 3. If its not fixed by now... then reinstalling the whole dev suite is the best way to go. Make sure you completely uninstall it first, though. a. Oh, and I found out that using the newest cygwin build doesn't really mess up the Palm OS build environment, except that in the resource xrd files you have to replace C:\ (drive names) with cygwin paths like /cygdrive/c/. This is because of the newer version of make...or something. Okay, I think i really killed the topic for you. I couldn't help you with device debugging, though, because I haven't exactly been so successful with that (yet).

Re: Bluetooth Serial Connections
! THANK YOU! I think I will be well on my way with that detailed help you gave me. I do not remember any instructions like that in the ACCESS documentation...which didn't cover bluetooth specifically and seems to be a little outdated. Oh also, I didn't know that you could write palm apps with Pascal... I'm using C++. From what you said, I doubt the process is much different. Thanks!! Shorin Edward Jones wrote: Error 0x03EA sounds like you haven't paired the device you are connecting with, you need to go through this process before you can send and receive any data. Also note that before using SrmExtOpen to open your Bluetooth serial connection you must close the Bluetooth library otherwise you will get error 0x30A. So after pairing the devices, Palm-mobile phone or Palm-modem or Palm-pc etc (once done you should not need to do this everytime), the process I go through to setup and use a Bluetooth serial connection is: 1) open the Bluetooth lib 2) setup a callback routine to deal with Bluetooth discovery responses (BtLibRegisterManagementNotification) 3) start the discovery process (BtLibStartInquiry) 4) find out if the device I want to connect to is in range and responding in my callback routine setup in step 2 5) once I have the device, fill in the Palm structures sppUid, btParams and SrmConfig 6) close the BtLib (**important**!) 7) open the serial connection using SrmExtOpen 8) send data to the paired device over the serial ink using SrmSend 8) use SrmReceiveWait to wait for incoming traffic and receive that data using SrmReceive 9) finally once I am done, use SrmClose to close the serial port If you want I have a working example in Pascal which goes through the processes to connect to a Bluetooth modem. Hope this helps! Edward Jones Shorin wrote: Hi, I'm relatively new to Palm OS Programming (but not programming in general). I can't seem to get the serial port open with the Bluetooth Connection panel serial port. The VirtRfComm doesn't work either, but I know that needs some extra settings passed to SrmOpenEx to open. I've been trying this with SrmOpen and SrmOpenBackground. Those functions keep failing with something like 0x03EA or something like that. This used to make my phone go into a reset loop until i deleted the program. I think i had other bad files that were causing that, though. So anyways, whats the REAL way to open a bluetooth serial connection?

Re: Bluetooth Serial Connections
Good suggestion... I'm very familiar with those apps. I ought to look at the source code and hope its not really tough. I know there are many other open source BT palm apps out there too... I am really wondering if there's a special secret to doing this that someone here knows right off the top of their head. I noticed that the ACCESS Palm OS documentation is a little out of date, and following their methods it apparently doesn't work. I haven't checked the palmdev documentation specific for my phone yet. Aiee... its tough to find time to even work on this anymore...argh.

Re: Palm OS Debugger problem
Yuk... are you sure? I was reading on the Palm website on instructions on how to do it... it said it was supposed to work. The problem I had was that I was trying to do simple freaking page flipping (of sorts) for a drawing app. I was creating an offscreen window, and drawing on it using pen strokes and then blitting it to the screen. It works okay in the simulator. I didn't add safety constraints to keep the line segment inside the offscreen window, but my tests shouldn't have caused drawing to occur outside the window... I think I really should ADD those safety constraints before I complain here about it resetting my device every time i started so much as a dot... and even once it did so badly that it got my device stuck on the reset screen...which made me have to hard-reset and restore the thing... and also lead to another escapade which resulted in my antenna being permanently loose... not my fault directly but sorta (wah). Its still likely that this programming bug is all my fault..

So yeah... please help. If this turns out to be a lost cause... does anybody know where I can get a Treo 600 debug and release ROM for the simulator? The simulator works on my system. In Palm OS development I have run into large inconsistencies between running it in the simulator and on my device. Simple code can cause resets and terrible things for some reason. James Screech wrote: I've just come back to developing a Palm application after a short break and I'm having problems with the debugger. Before when running the debugger it would ask for the location of the source code and display this during a debug session. Now it doesn't ask for the source code and only displays assembler. Presumably I've inadventantly changed a setting somewhere, but I cann't see what. Does anyone know what I need to do to re-enable the display of source code.
