I WILL NEVER BUY PALM CELLPHONE AGAIN.
I WILL NEVER BUY PALM CELLPHONE AGAIN.

Hello elmorenocali,

The hotsync information in the Centro User Guide is very thorough and is mainly in chapters 2, 10 and 12. I hope the user guide helps with the hotsync problem. Here is a download link for the Palm Centro User Guide:

First, make sure you backup all of your data, including data in any 3rd party apps.
Sync your first Palm Centro with the Palm Desktop software to save the data.
Verify the sync settings in the Palm Desktop software to make sure when you begin syncing with the new Palm Centro, the settings for each application (contacts, calendar, memos, etc.) are one-way sync to the device, or you might end up overwriting the data in your Palm Desktop software with what's on the new Palm Centro.
When you sync your new Palm Centro with the desktop software the first time it will ask you to name the new device. If you give it the same name as the old Palm Centro, all of the data will sync to your new Palm Centro.
Search your computer for a folder with the name "Palm" in it to try and locate the name of your old Palm Centro, so you can name the new Palm Centro the same. When you locate that folder on your computer, it would be a good idea to simply make a copy of that folder as a total backup.

your laptop is plugged in right? I would check the battery options on your laptop.

We might need to hard reset the phone. Follow all the steps mentioned in the website below:

Is your Palm Centro device locked up and frozen. You might want to try a hard reset. Here’s how.

1. Remove the battery from the rear of the unit.

2. Hold down the power button while reinserting the battery.

3. When the second Palm logo appears, release the power button.

4. Press the Up button to complete the hard reset and erase all data on the Centro.

make sure that the socket supports your new max Intel.
