There are three ways to connect your Palm to your Windows 10 PC, and the process differs slightly for each:. Upon first connecting your device to USB, a Windows notification will appear indicating that a Palm Handheld is being setup.
However, Windows 10 can only recognize Palm as a generic USB device and cannot actually interface with it. To solve this problem, right-click on the Windows Start button and open Device Manager.
There you'll find your Palm listed under "Other Devices" with an exclamation icon to indicate a missing driver. Right-click on "Palm Handheld" , then choose "Update Driver". Next, choose "Browse my computer for drivers" and enter the path to your downloaded driver package. Proceed through the installation, and your Palm will be recognized by Windows! Alternatively , right-click on your downloaded driver's primary.
Then, reconnect your Palm device. Though serial devices are now considered legacy, Windows 10 still retains limited support for them and can HotSync over serial just fine. However, a modern PC is unlikely to have a serial port, in which case you'll have to purchase a serial-to-USB adapter. While there are many such devices on the market, this one has been tested and proven working for HotSync on Windows Palm itself also released a licensed serial-to-USB adapter known as the "Palm Connect Kit", but this adapter is highly outdated and is unlikely to work with Windows Right-click on your adapter and choose "Properties" , then switch to the "Port Settings" tab.
Here, you'll want to set "Bits per second" to for the fastest HotSync. You'll need it in Step 4. While Bluetooth was once a complicated protocol to get working with HotSync, with Windows 10, it couldn't be easier. Simply open the Windows 10 Settings app and navigate to Devices. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled. Leave this screen open to keep your PC discoverable by nearby Bluetooth devices.
Next, on your Palm device, go to the Prefs app and choose Bluetooth. Make sure Bluetooth is On. Your Palm will search for nearby Bluetooth devices and show your PC in the list. The PC name will match the message on your Windows 10 Bluetooth settings screen. Next, your Palm will inform you about virtual serial ports, but you can ignore this entirely. Windows 10's Bluetooth drivers come pre-configured with virtual serial support, so no further configuration is needed.
HP Recommended. After my other phone went through the wash machine I changed to a this Palm unit. Activated it, came home and installed the sync software, worked fine. Couple of days later tried to sync again, no such luck. I have been working off and on for a couple of weeks trying to get it to work again!!!
I have talked to the local Verizon office, they suggested I talk to tech support. Called them, spent over an hour on the phone with them uninstalling the software, again, download the new software, again, still nothing, did a reset and a format and again nothing.
Have been using the Palm as a regular phone and it is fine. I have been unable to figure out what to do. I even talked to Hp tech support, not their problem!!! So here I am, I have looked through your forms but was unable to locate anything that is related to the Centro and Vista.
I am almost willing to try anything that seems reasonable. Post relates to: Centro Verizon. Tags 2. Tags: Archived. Accepted Solutions. Message 5 of 5. Again, many thanks for your help.
Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Level 8. Message 2 of 5. Deacon Mal. I have a Palm Centro but I cannot find a driver for it that will work with Windows 7. I also just tried my Sony camera and there is no driver available for it. I do not want to have to buy new "Toys" just because I bought a new laptop.
