Thanks, I'll give that a try! And I'll probably have to open up the new one after all, and try my hand at a little soldering. When I plug in the headphones, I only get sound from the left side. Found a webpage with some pics, but it's talking about 6 soldering points for the jack, and I can only see 5 in the pic. I guess I'll find out more when I do open it up, but first I have to shop for a soldering iron. And find some...

Does anyone know? Often it's hard to contact Dmitry....

Chappura makes conduts for Palm to Outlook. You shouldn't need them for the TX, they were required before Palm developed their own conduits, though they certainly are more functional, but I never had trouble with the TX Outlook conduits. What may be happening here is that you may have data corruption. I don't remember how to deal with this with Outlook. Hopefully someone wil com along who has done this more recently than I.

Please ignore the first message....sort of. What I reported was the problem i was having trying to sync to "Evolution" using the Ubuntu Linux OS. If anyone is familiar with syncing in Ubuntu, I'd love to hear from you. On the other hand, I am getting an error message trying to sync to Outlook in Windows. More on that later. Jim

also, one can run an application without tapping its' icon on the screen. navigate to the page it is on in your launcher via the D-pad (up/down to scroll, left-right to go from one category or tab to the previous/next). when on the right page, press the center button, to shift focus to the launcher area. again, use the D-pad to nav to the app, when it is selected (as indicated by either being highlighted, or in a box), press the center...

Congratulations! That's good to know.

Upon further testing I've discovered that once the battery runs dry due to the white screen loop theres no way to get it to boot up even after plugging it into the charger, the battery has to be shorted again. I guess there's no way to fix it other than replacing the entire motherboard, though its weird how the Palm logo + progress bar still appears and all. Is there anyway to reflash the firmware onto the motherboard or something?

Some of the suggested apps, such as Shortcut5, can have a negative impact on performance. It would be a tradeoff that might be worth it to you, but you should be aware of it. You can use Palminternals to check any impact on Hede.

Bill, the best place to find Palm Desktop would be at Palm.com... Go to their support pages. Find the page for the TX. Palm Desktop is clearly displayed for download. WyreNut

I haven't tried it on my TX, but I've seen it used on Treo650s, so at least it seems to be NVFS-compatible. Incidentally, I recently purchased an IR keyboard for my TX. I hadn't thought about using shortcuts when typing, I assumed one could achieve a fast enough...
