Dear Palm (Bob, David, Roger, et al.),
I've spent some time prowling through the newsgroups and I've noticed a
great many postings by people with Vs having "trouble" getting alarms to
wake their V up. Far fewer posts (any?) from folks with IIIx devices.
There were many posts from folks unable to get DateBook to sound an alarm.
At first, I assumed that folks were just getting used to the devices,
putting stuff on top of the buttons when the alarm went off, loading flakey
software. But now I'm seeing posts by folks not using 3rd party clock
software or Hackmaster complaining too.
The standard reply to these folks:
- reset your Palm.
- make sure you still have a system_midi_sound.pdb file on your Palm. If
not, reload it.
- hard reset your Palm.
Is there some technical issue with the V that would prevent alarms from
sounding? Or is there some other explanation for the rash of complaints?
Is Palm's Engineering investigating this? If so, is a patch imminent (I
can already guess that "there is no announcement at this time." ;-))?
Or is this to be dismissed as another Usenet lynching?
Cheers,
