Re: Simple way to detect if a device is a Treo?

Sadly, the 755P Simulator does not match the real device for either the companyID or the deviceID. The 755P Sim reports: CompanyID: hspr DeviceID: D052which is the 700P deviceID... For those who are keeping score at home, the deviceID-independent Treo test I ended up using was: if

David, Sadly, the 755P Simulator does not match the real device for either the companyID or the deviceID. The 755P Sim reports: CompanyID: hspr DeviceID: D052which is the 700P deviceID... Its curious that it uses 'hspr' instead of 'Palm', as actual devices have for some time now since

I think those are controlled in an INI file in the simulator. Looks like someone just forgot to update them :( On 5/17/07, Douglas Handy [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: David, Sadly, the 755P Simulator does not match the real device for either the companyID or the deviceID. The 755P Sim reports:

Re: Simple way to detect if a device is a Treo?

The whole point of this particular exercise was to know when to call the HsGetVersionString API to get the Treo's ROM serial number, because some Treo designer somewhere sometime decided that it would be too easy for developers just to keep it available via the standard SysGetROMToken API...

Simple way to detect if a device is a Treo?

Hi all, I want to detect if the current device is a PalmOS 5.x Treo. I know I can check the sysFtrNumOEMDeviceID and compare against known Treos, and that is what I have been doing to this point, but I'd rather use a detection scheme that can detect both current and future PalmOS Treos. I

Re: Simple way to detect if a device is a Treo?

Not all treos use sysFtrNumOEMCompanyID == 'hspr' device sysFtrNumOEMCompanyID / sysFtrNumOEMDeviceID 600 'hspr'/'H101' 650 'hspr'/'H102' 680 'Palm'/'D053' 700p'Palm'/'D052' There is no simple way of future proofing your code. We have a simple IsTreo function that is used

Re: Simple way to detect if a device is a Treo?

David, Does anyone have suggestions? As others have mentioned, some current Treos already don't use 'hspr' for the company ID. I also use a simple IsTreo() function which I update as new devices are known. But what arguably is a better idea is to check for the existance of the feature(s) you

Re: Simple way to detect if a device is a Treo?

I usually do both. First, I check for the features I need, regardless of which device it is. This tells me if it's possible to perform the task necessary. Second, I'll check the device against a list of devices I've tested. If I haven't tested the app on that device, I'll often put up a one-time

Re: Simple way to detect if a device is a Treo?

Neil, Bummer! Thanks for the CompanyID tip. I tested on real 600 650 devices, but only tried against the 680 and 700p sims, which do report 'hspr' as the CompanyID. I should have checked Hal Mueller's list also. I already do have an IsTreo function that checks the known
