Does that sound right? First things first. I use Kinoma Player 4EX and it is decent software for streaming audio and video content. It can handle some audio and video formats that other media players can't.
Among its various quirks, however, is that it doesn't disable the auto-off, nor does it have a background mode to play mp3s while you do other things. There are some free apps out there to disable auto-off, which should give you the results you want. Just be careful -- you'll want to re-enable auto-off when you're done.
There's a link in my signature. It's better than anything I've seen. This application will not only give you better video playback, but it will automatically, temporarily disable the auto-off function.
It's very nice. I really like pTunes, but haven't upgraded to the Deluxe version. The Deluxe version would allow you to stream audio if that's something you want, although Kinoma does that, as well as Radio Mundu mp3 only. See the link in my sig. Please let us know if any of this helps!
Hey Jig thanks for the reply. The movie keeps playing but after 30 secs the screen is dimming, this is bizarre and it actually starting to annoy the heck out of me. About pocketTunes, I am trialling the full version now, it rocks! I love the syncing with WMP, but the radio doesn't seem to work for me, I don;t get a radio listing even though the device is online.
I'll figure that one out before the trial expires though. All of the fields that I used were correctly transferred to the TX using this method. Names, addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail addresses synchronized perfectly. Probably somewhere in that huge manual there is a description of how to import data directly from Outlook Express, but my way works nicely, and it is fast and easy once one knows the procedure.
The TX Pocket Tunes music player and Rhapsody music cataloging and transfer systems worked flawlessly. Soft passages were inaudible on the Axim speaker with the volume control at maximum. Cataloging was difficult on the Axim PDA because the library insisted on importing all of the voice commands installed by the GPS navigation system when searching for music files. The TX reproduced the music perfectly from Mp-3 recordings cut from old vinyl records.
For some reason, The Windows program on the Axim did not suppress the irritating needle hiss on MP-3 recordings of old vinyl cuts. I think that the TX is the winner at music storage and reproduction. Photos were well displayed on screen by both systems, but the TX had an intuitively easier system for cataloging and showing photos. The Axim sync system for music and photos was buggy and difficult to use so I turned it off.
The Axim has a potentially useful feature that is lacking in the TX. The x51v accepts recorded messages. Unfortunately, I found the recording system to be unworkable for calendar appointments where it would be most useful to me. The buggy program worked for a few days, and then it would arbitrarily refuse to allow voice recordings in the calendar notes.
Whenever I pressed the record button, the recorder jumped out of the calendar and went to the notebook so it put the messages in the wrong place. The recording to the calendar feature could only be restored by a hard reset. Essentially, the voice recorder is useless except for making a short note. The Axim includes a good dictionary and spell checker and can suggest word completion after the entry of a few letters.
The Axim is far superior out of the box as a word processor. I fooled around with the Palm Grafitti handwriting recognition system for a bit, and it actually could read my lousy handwriting that left the Axim clueless. I suspect that the better performance by the TX in character recognition may simply be a result of the fact that the TX stylus is larger in diameter and more comfortably suited to handwriting.
For one thing, it has a delete key. For another, the keyboard can optionally be resized to a larger format. My Palm has a simple book case that was shipped with it, which attaches to a groove on the left side of the PDA A bit like a stylus silo.
Does anyone know of a similar, simple case for the T X I note that the standard flip cover has nothing to protect the back of the TX? The T X comes with the flip cover, but there are many other cases available.
The most protective cases, I expect, are the metal cases that, as with your m, attach to the groove on the left of the T X. It is quite trim and form-fitting. It does leave the SD-card slot, the headphone jack, reset button and the docking connector easily accessible, along with the top of the stylus silo. There are two SD-card slots in the cover. I started using metal cases after I fell with my Tungsten C in my pocket.
I also ordered a metal case. Stylus Central has an aluminum case and other accessories. Palm , itself, sells several cases, though their prices tend to be high. ExtremePDA has several cases, including the Innopocket metal case. You can probably find more if you nose around. Some cases open from the bottom, others from the right side.
Some are leather of varying quality—and cost! It just depends upon what you want. Does the Innopocket cover slide into the slot used by the cover that comes with the TX? My current Tungsten E which I bought in the states came with a univeral power charger that I can use in the States or here in Europe.
Clear and free of jargon. There is a hole in the back cover to access the reset button, but you can flip the TX out of the back cover for access, as well. It looks like the Tungsten E uses something like a mini-USB data connector and a round power connector. The TX uses a proprietary Palm data connector and a square power connector.
They are sometimes combined into one piece. Check the fourth down Tungsten E and the sixth TX. If you have the Tungsten E2 , on the other hand, the connector should work on the TX. Palm does have a travel charger that would work in France. You may be able to find others, as well. Check around their site—they have several useful accessories.
Thanks for the update. Buying one in the US and having it shipped here is worth the effort financially. While it was new, battery life was ok, not great I could use it for two days, moderate usage, it could sit unused for about 4 or 5 days. I have had the TX for a bit over a year now. I can now get about one day of moderate use, but it can only sit overnight before the battery is dead.
This is with all radio wifi and bluetooth turned off. Just a warning not to expect great battery life. In addition, I have added software, but the TX also need a soft reset at least twice a day.
This is my 4th palm and the first that I have had these problems with. The same software is installed on the TX as on my Tungteen E which seldom needed a reset.
A true replacement for almost everything I do on my laptop. But the TX has good battery life, and allows me to do about everything I need to do in wifi access points, at pretty normal wifi speeds. Other wishes: ability to work on the file system to move files around. This is the most useable unit that I have used since the beginning.
I finally bought one here in Europe. Dislike the cover that comes with it and will get a replacement one of these day—something hard to better protect the screen. Was panicked after the first hot-sync where I had preserved all the apps on the TE I was replacing—it kept resetting. After a quick search at Google on the problem, went back and did a clean install, then re-installed the key apps. Fixed the problem. The T X seems to have what I need most. There is a package with the Palm Bluetooth keyboard included at my local tech shop and while the keyboard seemed pretty good, that PDA screen is mighty small for a long day of writing.
Anyone have any experience with it that can advise on whether this is a good option or whether I should stick with a notebook? I would be writing at seminars. They are full day and happen about 1 every weeks, so not on a daily basis. This was a life saver for the three months that I was wired. As a touch typist I found the keyboard very easy to operate and the screen was surprisingly easy on the eye.
My Surgeon even complained that I was talking too much on it and could it be confiscated! Unfortunately my Lifedrive hard drive failed three months ago.
The screen is, if anything, even easier to read; bearing in mind that I also lost an eye in the accident; I now use it as my main method for reading books. I have a Palm T X and really love it except for a few little problems that I cannot seem to get quality help on from Palm. I upgraded from a Palm Tungsten E that the bought the farm from abuse…decided to upgrade so I would have the wi-fi, etc. It is driving me nuts. I also have a T X.
Some software that works on the Tungsten E will not work properly on the T X. I had a Tungsten C. When I switched to the T X, Mapopolis no longer worked.
Try that for a while—it will take some getting used to. Glad I am not the only one that has a time with the Graffiti…guess I will go to the keyboard and work with that! Just seems like the Graffiti on the old Tungsten E was much easier to use…. I have had this palm for awhile. I really want to learn how to use it. I just need the disk that came with it that since has been misplaced. How do I get another? It appears that Palm have discontinued their handhelds.
I can not find anywhere in the UK to buy a new one. Does anyone know how easy it will be to transfer my data to the new machine given that I have been working with Palm OS 4. I am really hoping I can put my Palm backup SD card in the new machine and down load all the data, but some how I feel it will not be that easy.
