So after having my Treo 755p randomly reboot (really annoying when I am on a call), I decided I would hard reset the thing. After having backed up my contact to both my Outlook as well as my Palm Desktop, I gave it a go. First thing that I had a problem with was that my USB cable was not working well. It either didn’t recognize it at all, or if it did, it said, “The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established.” So after mucking with it awhile, (trying the solutions of: using a different usb cable; and continually plug and unplug until it works) Ifinally had to my roommate’s cable which does not have the power connection part and seemed to fit better.
Soon realizing I forgot to backup my high scores on my favorite game Text Twist, I realized I would have to redo my ringtones, as well as my System Preferences, Roaming Preferences, and my QuickDial links. I use the Palm Desktop to do a Quick Install of my MiniTones application (great for adding and trimming mp3s to useable ringtones) and Text Twist. I then reassigned ringtones to a few Contacts, and my voicemail, known/unknown caller, text messaging, calendar, and alarm. Changed my Roaming Preferneces to allow since my office is in a basement, and AT&T has coverage but not Sprint (imagine that) and to never warn me about making roaming calls since I added it to my plan for $5.
Changed my System Preferences for my Color Theme and then moved on to changing my Speed Dial by selecting the “Label” using the lookup to select my contact, and then it autopopulated the Number and I just picked what Quick Key I wanted.
So I have everything I had before, with the exception of the Twitter email that Justin set up so I can twit pictures from my phone by quickly sending them to that email. But overall, it was an easy process, once I determined that my USB cable was borked.
cool, I want one…………….
