Transferring Information Between Palm Devices - Kyocera 7135 Reference Manual

Transferring information between Palm devices

There are three methods of exchanging information between two or more Palm devices. Do not
simply synchronize your new phone to copy the data. Some important settings on the phone will
be changed if you do so.
To synchronize using the same user name
Use this method only if you are transferring data from a Palm device you will not be using
anymore to a new device. If you intend to use both devices on an ongoing basis, do not use this
method, because it gives both devices the same user name. (If you continue to synchronize two
Palm devices with the same user name, serious synchronization problems may occur.)
If you have accidently given two Palm devices the same name, see

operations" on page 65 for procedures to rename one of them.
1. Synchronize the original Palm device to your computer.
2. On the computer, launch Windows Explorer.
3. Navigate to the C:\Palm directory and open your user folder
This folder has a name similar to the name of your old Palm device. For example, if the user
name for your Palm device was "Joe Smith," the folder might be named "smithj."
4. Inside the user folder, open the folder called Backup .
5. Locate the file named Saved_Preferences.prc. Move this file to another folder or delete it.
Mac users can use Sherlock to find and remove the saved-preferences.prc file.
Note:
The Saved_Preferences file contains the preference settings from your Palm device (for
example, your selected alert sounds) . The Kyocera 7135 smartphone has many additional
preference settings (for example, network settings and phone settings). If you do not move or
delete the existing Saved_Preferences.prc file before synchronizing, the organizer settings will
overwrite the phone settings, and you will lose the benefit of these new features.
6. Synchronize the Kyocera 7135 smartphone, choosing the same user name as that of the old
Palm device. All of your data is transferred to your phone. A new Saved_Preferences.prc file
is created, containing the new phone preferences.
7. If you intend to continue using the original device, do a hard reset on it. The hard reset
removes the user name and all associated data from the device. It will not affect the data that
has already been synchronized with your phone.
Macintosh users can use Sherlock to find and remove the Saved_Preferences.prc file.
