  • Mike Thompson
    Where would I be without this hack? Clicking away probably. The author has been extremly helpful in fulfilling my requests and has done a great job with this hack. The OS 3.1.1 upgrade didnt fix my Palm V at all. It didnt fix Datebk3, Bigclock, or Clockpro. Thank god there are talented people like this author. A must have for any Palm V owner!

    This hack works realy well. In the past with the PalmV in my shirt pocket use to just make an clicking noise but now I get the proper alarm. Great idea, perhaps it should be sold to 3Com so they can produce a OS upgrade.

This HackMaster hack is being provided to prevent a problem with the PalmV and it's various cases and covers.

The provided cover when closed and placed in a pocket will apply pressure to the hardware buttons especially the Up/Down buttons. This causes alarms to never sound when they are activated. Instead all you hear is an annoying clicking sound (if your hearing is good) of the button being pressed.

PalmVHack provides you with more control than OS upgrade 3.1.1 which only fixes the Page-Up key. PalmVHack allows you to select which buttons you would like ignored. Page-Up, Page-Down and the Application Buttons. You can even override OS upgrade 3.1.1 and re-activate the Page-Up key with PalmVHack.
