Upgrading
If you experience problems with your
Palm
® Centro ™ smart device after
performing the upgrade steps in this guide,
you may have incompatible applications or
settings that were not quarantined during
the installation process. These
incompatible applications or settings can
lead to numerous issues, including system
resets and freezes. If you experience a

other info to your new Centro.

Contacts or Calendar

activating or ending data connections

Provide instant messaging features
If you want to continue using these types
of applications, please contact the
