Palm TX touchscreen problems March 24, 2008
Rev. Pamela Crane
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought a Palm TX in August 2006 while on holiday, and had to return it for a replacement as it suffered from repeated lock-ups and reset cycling. The replacement still had a few glitches, but removing some legacy software and updating some key programs largely sorted them. However, it is now March 2008, the machine only 18 months old, and the digital screen input had started to play up - I had to place the stylus above the desired letter on the virtual keyboard rather than right on it for the letter to display onscreen, etc. I had a look on this Amazon page to see if any other owners had had problems - and there are so many of you! I had one last go at re-calibrating the touchscreen and the whole thing siezed up permanently. Now I can only read my documents, contacts, memos via the navigator, and half the notepad area is inaccessible, as I can't remove the keyboard/input area at the bottom of the screen. Many key files I can't open, as they depend totally on the stylus. So basically I am sunk, and about to revive my old Tungsten T3 till I decide what to buy next. It has to be a Palm machine with Palm OS, as one favourite program only runs on this, is not available for Windows Mobile - and also I love the economy and stability of the Palm platform. The TX, after all the hype, and despite its obvious versatility and high spec, is now a huge disappointment. PALM, please note! Of course there is no way to email this complaint to Palm, so it'll have to be snail-mail. Buyer beware. br /And here is part 2 of this review!... after writing the above I started the long slog of reinstalling all my stuff to the old T3. This meant a final hotsync of the frozen TX so that I had all the necessary backups. Next, to clear my details from the useless lump I was about to throw away (where???) I did a hard reset of the TX. Imagine my surprise when the whole thing burst back to life! So, all you folks who have had these touchscreen problems like me, do the Hotsync backup and the hard reset and see if you also get your TX back. Having said this, at least one vital database failed to transfer to the Palm Desktop backup, and because I had forgotten to install Docs To Go on the PC I lost quite a lot of writing - so take care, in advance, not to share this sorry experience! br /However, I am back with the T3, as it is so much sweeter and more responsive despite its volatile memory, and soonish I shall buy it a nice new battery (and some screwdrivers..). The TX will be re-filled with favourite apps and docs and left in a drawer for emergencies. If it dies in there, too bad. By then I may have a Treo 680. br / br /Rev. Pam Crane
