Palm Tungsten T Update

Posted May 1, 2003
The PalmTungstenTUpdate.prc is a software patch for the Palm Tungsten T handheld. It resolves the following issues:
- Digitizer issues affecting the top 5mm of the Tungsten T display not responding correctly or at all. This is typically detected when using pull down menus or applications that utilize this part of the display.
- Audio playback issues, associated with playing audio files (such as MP3 or WAV), which affect sound output quality. Enhancements to the Palm Sound Manager included with this update also enable the playback of audio files in the background with some applications.
- Issues connecting to the Internet or email via a Bluetooth dongle attached to a PC.
- Launcher issues when attempting to access the App menu. The error message "LauncherMain.c, Line:9128, could not complete the operation because the system is out of dynamic memory" is reported on devices with more than 345 files in system memory.
