Upgrading

If you experience problems with your Palm® Centro™ smart device after performing the upgrade steps in this guide, you may have incompatible applications or settings that were not quarantined during the installation process. These incompatible applications or settings can lead to numerous issues, including system resets and freezes. If you experience a problem after upgrading, follow the steps in this section to remove the incompatible apps from your Centro and to transfer your other info to your new Centro.

NOTE If you have trouble installing a third-party application, contact the developer for assistance.

We recommend that you do not install apps that do any of the following:

•Modify phone functions, such as ringtones, dialing, or caller ID

•Replace organizer features, such as Contacts or Calendar

•Set data connection features, such as activating or ending data connections

•Provide web-clipping features, such as PQA files

•Provide instant messaging features

If you want to continue using these types of applications, please contact the third-party developer for software updates and for info about compatibility with your Centro.
