Re: Connection with blue tooth from palm
 

My Centro is running 1.05 with the USB Modem. I hope it works for you in 1.07.
Did the 1.07 get pushed to the phone, or did you have do so something manual?

Re: Connection with blue tooth from palm
 

Hi Scrabbler... I followed the directions via Palm and thus corrupted my SD Card via formating.. it appears all was Okay, but I decided that Sprint should do the upgrade themselves.. I primarily was looking forward to the My Location feature on Google Maps, and faster access to YouTube as well as opening attachment..

Sprint upgraded without the SD card and everything was working as expected until I attemped to pair my Centro with the upgraded Noki N800 with OS2008..

Prior to these problems, the N800 could scurry over the internet and would recognize bluetooth instantly from the Centro.. Anyway, perhaps there will be a solution.. Thanks Scrabbler for the message..Don

Re: Connection with blue tooth from palm
 

You need USBModem, in my experience. I am working just fine with the latest (1.07) of the Palm software and Diablo.

Google Maps worked great with my Holux GPS, as soon as I upgraded from the ancient version of Google Maps that was on the Centro.

Unfortunately, the Centro is working well enough in general that I am taking my N800 with me less often. For example, I am about to go pick someone up at LAX and I probably won't bring it, just the phone.

Hi Geneven, I appreciate your decision to wean yourself from the tandem of phone and N800..your affirmation of the marriage of 1.07 and Diablo being compatible means a lot. I decided as well that the Centro has enough goodies to go solo.. thanks for the Holux GPS tip.. have a safe trip within the traffic madness.. thanks, Don

Re: Connection with blue tooth from palm
 

Ok, here is my experience:

1. I have a N800 but I didn't had a Bluetooth enabled phone until a few weeks ago.
2. Today, I upgraded the N800 to Diablo. When the tablet rebooted, it asked me if I wanted to pair with a Bluetooth device.
3. I looked at my Palm Centro nearby, and said "Why not?". enabled Bluetooth in the Centro (keep it off people, it's a battery killer), and selected OK
4. The N800 asked me to select my country from a drop-down list. I selected Argentina
5. The N800 then showed a list of the 3 local cellular providers, I selected mine ("Telecom Personal")
6. It asked me to pair the unit and gave me a 4-digit PIN. I quickly changed it to a 8 digit pin :-)
7. The Centro was added as a trusted device to the N800 and vice-versa.
8. On the list of connections available, my Palm Centro shows up on the N800.
9. I can select that connection, connect, and browse, seamlessly.

I never had to select "modem" or do any other fancy configuration other than what has been described above.

Guess I'm just lucky?

PS: I expected the Centro to show a small delay or show "connecting to GPRS..." as often happens when starting a TCP/IP enabled application, but there's nothing displayed... it sorts of does all the connections in the background.

PS2: I *WISH* the N800 browser could show a "packet meter" (bytes sent/received) somewhere (upper-right corner of the browser window would be nice, with sugar on top, please :), to keep track of how much money we're burning while browsing over Bluetooth/GPRS...

Re: Connection with blue tooth from palm
 

Hi Fcassia.. What a terrific and concise explanation.. I am thrilled for your seamless connection isn spite of the subtle anxieties hidden in each click.. i thank you so much for your step by steps.. your idea of the packet meter never occured to me, a great idea.. well I am going to give it another try. thanks again, Fcassia, Don

Re: Connection with blue tooth from palm
 

fcassia also has a gsm Centro that didn't have the Sprint upgrade. I upgraded my Centro as well and haven't been successful in pairing it up with my new pre-Diablo n800. I had no issues with my 770 and 700p until the WSOD of my 770.

Re: Connection with blue tooth from palm
 

Thanks again dbaddler, the revelation of private frustrations seems to lift the feeling of "What did I do wrong" to my units.. It was so convienient wearing my Bluetoothed Centro on my hip and going anyplace on the web with my N800.. Now the N800 seems useless. My phone contract expires December.. but I want to thank for clearing up the issue that fcassia didn't have the same Centro, i am glad his works.. Take care, Don

Re: Connection with blue tooth from palm
 

For what its worth, tonight I upgraded my Centro to 1.0.7 running USB Modem, and can still successfully access the web with the N800 OS2008.

Re: Connection with blue tooth from palm
 

not that I've tried it yet, but I'm sure it works via 3rd party such as USB Modem. It just isn't right that you should have to resort to 3rd party software for a basic DUN connection that used to work out of the box. Will definitely drop a quick email to palm.

Scrabbler, it'd be interesting to see if you deleted USB modem and tried to connect natively.
