- Known Issues
- ------------
-
- The following issues are known to exist in this version of Pocket Tunes.
-
- 1178: Popup console does not work with Acid Solitaire or Acid Freecell.
- There is a bug in those applications that would cause a crash if the popup
- console is displayed. Red Mercury has a fix planned for version 3.0 of these
- applications, however the console will still not work until we re-enable it.
-
- 1418: Sony CLIE TH-55 buffers excessively on some ShoutCast stations. This
- problem is dramatically better after installing the WiFi update available
- from Sony.
-
- This appears to be a problem with the TH-55's network implementation for unreliable
- networks. When connecting to a highly reliable ShoutCast server (such as one
- on the local network), the TH-55 has no problems. When connecting to stations
- over the Internet (e.g. using a cable modem), however, the TH-55 begins to lag
- behind when there is the slightest disturbance in TCP traffic. Once this begins to
- happen, the TCP connection never recovers, reducing itself to a maximum speed
- of approximately 20-40kbps. After long delays, Pocket Tunes will reconnect to
- the station, which will temporarily "revive" it until the TCP traffic is
- again affected by this phenomena.
-
- We have contacted Sony about this problem. If this is still a problem after
- installing the update from Sony, we recommend using stations of 56kbps or lower,
- as can be found at www.treobits.com or using stations hosted on a local area
- network. Also, make sure to turn OFF the power saving feature for your WiFi
- connection. Your CLIE should have come with instructions on how to do this.
-
- 496: Crash when turning off networking while playing ShoutCast music. If you
- turn off networking while Pocket Tunes is playing ShoutCast music, the Palm
- will sometimes lock up or crash. To safely turn off networking, stop playing
- ShoutCast music by selecting a non-streaming music file to play (or by pressing
- Stop and quitting Pocket Tunes), and then turn off networking.
-
- 1031: Apparent lockup after BackupMan runs. After BackupMan runs while Pocket
- Tunes is active, Pocket Tunes will stop responding. This is a problem with
- BackupMan 1.45 and earlier. The author has been contacted and asked to release
- a fix. He has promised a fix for the upcoming 2.0 release. If you experience
- this lockup, press the Home button (or tap the Home icon) to launch the Palm
- launcher. Then restart Pocket Tunes.
-
- 1450: SilkletManager can cause a crash with Pocket Tunes. Disable SilkletMgr
- (or move it to a card) after configuring the silk plugins, and the crash will
- no longer occur.
-
- 1662: Switch5 causes a crash if configured to respond to same pen swipe as
- pTunes. To solve this, change the pen swipe that activate the pTunes
- background console in Background Preferences. Or disable the conflicting pen
- swipe from the Switch5 preference panel.
-
- 1528: Windows Media Player gets confused with more than one Palm connected.
- If you connect more than one Palm device to your PC at the same time, the
- Windows Media Player interface to copy music to your handheld may get confused
- and not list any Palm devices. To correct this, disconnect all of your
- handhelds and then connect one at a time while using Windows Media Player to
- transfer files.
-
- 1573: When McAfee Virus Scan is running, Windows Media Player may react very
- slowly when communicating with your Palm handheld.
