TreoHelper 0.70 (for Palm OS)
TreoHelper 0.70 (for Palm OS)
TreoHelper has options to help control phone and network operations of the Treo 180/270/300/600/650. You can assign on/off times for the phone, conditions for when to drop the network connection and/or turn off the phone. This can help you experiment with overcoming some known firmware issues on the device, such as the "turbo drain" and "red blink of death" syndromes. Loads of features, this is a "must have" freeware.
southwestroadboy: this applacation is good, the only thing about it the drop the net feature doesnt work right with my treo
griffinca: I have only used it for the SMS lock feature. (To do that, set up a phrase or word like lockmytreo for it to look for in SMS messages. Then if you lose your phone, send yourself an SMS message with the key phrase. Now your Treo is locked and anyone turning it on will see the owner info and need your password to go forward. This can be defeated by a techically advanced person, but is pretty darned good protection, and free. I use it. Haven't used but one or two of the many other options. Great app with my 700p.
valasca528: This works well...
Is there an application that locks the Messaging Application so that when the application is tapped on to be opened it asks for a password? I don't want to lock the entire device, just the application
tdipane: If it had the option of erasing all data (along with the already included SMS lock feature) upon SMS with specific phrase, I'd give it a 10. Unlike mSafe, this app actually works when you send an SMS to lock your Treo. The other features are good, too - such as turn off data connection after specified time. And it's FREEWARE, which is wonderful.
raees786: USEFUL
jwscotton: i have no problem with sprint treo 650. much like blackberry. I do not need to get blackberry.
Chuck Lawhorn: I used this app to turn my phone on after a reset. Every time TreoHelper started the phone I got garbage characters in the upper left of my screen instead of "Verizon Wireless." If I manually turn the phone on after reset waiting the same time as the automatic, I never got garbage. I unloaded it, because although it did what it said, it caused a corrupted display.
Revision History
0.70 fixes a Sprint 650 SMS trigger issue.
0.69 adds Treo 650 compatibility.
Recently added an SMS section. This allows you to assign a ringtone/vibrate to incoming SMSs based on a text match. It also has a "Def" setting which is used for SMSs which don't match any others. There is a "launch" under each SMS setting, which provides a way to filter SMS text into certain applications. One such application is GNUGotMail, which when it is launched in this way will perform a mail fetch. Another is PBJTime which will give you a more convenient SMS popup.. i.e. it goes away after a few seconds and can be launched with a hotkey hold if you also install pbjtimehack.
