Directory Assistant 3.10 RELEASED

**newtreouser** · 03/28/2005, 05:43 PM

Anyone having trouble with DA 3.10 on Sprint 650 after update to firmware 1.08 SPCS? I don't recall having this problem before the update but now my 650 resets evertime I try to copy a search result to "new address entry"

Anyone else?

**newtreouser** · 03/29/2005, 10:13 AM

I deleted 3.10 and re-installed and get the same thing: resets when I do a copy to the address book. Sprint 650 with 1.08. Is this working on your's or not? Love to hear some replies.

Works fine for me. Using 1.08. I didn't install DA until after I had done the 1.08 update, however. I wonder if there's a preference setting that's messed up and isn't being removed by the delete / reinstall of DA?

If you use FileZ to edit the saved preferences file, all of the DA preferences are identified with the creator-id rwDA. You might consider making a backup of saved preferences, then removing DA, deleting the rwDA entries from saved prefs, and then re-installing.

No need to go through all that. If you just delete the app using the App Launcher's stock delete function, prefs are automatcially deleted.

How do I use Filez to edit savedPreferences? I have it selected with Filez and the only options I see are General, Attrs, Dates
and there are no options under those to edit files. Please elaborate.

The first time I deleted DA I used Uninstall manager to unistall it before reinstalling DA. Apparently that didn't cut it, I was still getting resets when copying to new address entry. I just used the Palm default launcher to delete DA and then reinstalled and not getting the reset anymore. Thanks Rick. Great app and getting better with each release. Donation coming.

Anybody else's DA unable to perform a search today? I also notice the web page is unavailable.

**Insertion** · 03/29/2005, 02:53 PM

Just did one. Went fine for me.

Nope, just did a search, fine, web page is there too!

What a fantastic program. It's much faster than me going to my browser, going to Cingular's or Smartpages' website and finding info. I just love the fact that I don't have to pay .99 anymore for directory assistance. I'm donating the $10 immediately.

**Felipe** · 04/03/2005, 02:06 PM

anyone else having issues with reverse look up and jut inputting the address without the number?

it doesnt even check, it just gives an error.

**dj81462** · 04/04/2005, 08:59 PM

Thanks for the great app.

I was wondering why search surrounding area is in the business query, but not in the residential query? That would be useful in both, any chance of adding?

Edit: Just looked at YP and it's not an option.

Does this service cost anything extra on my phone bill each month? I�m a little slow, please forgive me 8-)

It's data, so it shouldn't cost any more, assuming you have an unlimited data plan.

**Jamez** · 04/08/2005, 10:37 AM

Thanks, I�m with Sprint and I do have an unlimited data plan. I just wanted to make sure there were no �extra - hidden� charges.

Great! I just send in my $10. It's well worth the money.

Well, I tried deleting with Uninstall Manager and soft reset before reloading DA and that didn't fix it. Then I just tried deleting with the stock Palm default launcher and resetting before reloading and it still causes resets everytime I try to save to as a new address book entry.

Yes, how do I do this please? I tried deleting DA using the built in Palm launcher app and that didn't fix my soft resets problem. I assume the only other way is to manually edit the Saved Preferences file, but I don't know how to do this.

Once in FileZ, find the Saved Preferences file, check mark it and then hit your menu button - you'll find the edit option there.

Well, the edit function brought up a list of what is in that file but I don't see any way once there to delete individual entries in that Saved Preferences file. Also, once I have deleted DA using the Palm launcher I don't see anything in that file beginning with rwDA. There is one thing called rwMP #0 but that is the only thing similar.
