Comments on: Sprint Treo 755p ROM Update Released

The Update is actually 1.07.

Its 1:30 in the morning, I just finished the update, and yes it takes a while. The actual update itself took me 30 minutes, but this was my 2nd attempt as I screwed up the first. That does not include the time it took to back-up and re sync all the info.

So far the only thing new I found were some yellow and green arrows added to your main text message window.

I'll test sound an call quality tomorrow when people are actually awake.

One interesting note, is that when updating, the screen flashed "updating modem." I use my Treo's data connection with PDAnet, as i sit in airports a lot. I hope this doesn't affect the program.

I had another, interesting experience with this update. I was having trouble with once-daily resets ever since I updated to Butler version 4.51 (checking their site now, the current version is 4.67). I never figured out exactly what was causing it....perhaps a conflict between their new keyguard and maybe BackupBuddyVFS scheduled backups? Anyway, I haven't had a reset since I installed this update. She was very stable before I updated Butler and has returned to that state (so far).

Well, aside from less-than-stellarness, this update goes along with some menu screens found in the 680 and Centro (the previous 2 newest POS devices) that suggest Palm has (as in the past tense) or is still attempting to shoehorn A2DP Bluetooth wireless audio functionality into Garnet. I'm going to do a news item on it.

But even without Softick AG installed, a clever user found the same hidden BT Audio screens on those other two devices. So either Palm gave up trying to hack A2DP into Garnet and buried it under lines of code or it's still a work in progress to be released later this year as a going away gift to all the loyal POS fanbase (hah!)

Pilot 1000-->Pilot 5000-->PalmPilot Pro-->IIIe-->Vx-->m505-->T|T-->T|T2-->T|C-->T|T3-->T|T5-->TX-->Treo 700P

The "there one moment, gone the next" appearance/disappearance of the pertinent dialog suggests PALM has the lower level functionality completely enabled and uses some sort of function-pointer-like data structure to invoke it (that is, data can be trivially changed while functions usually cannot).
