Anyone tried beaming apps to a Palm Vx? I can receive apps from a Palm Vx but can't seem to transfer apps the other way!

The IR transfer starts, but says beam is interrupted before the transfer is done. I can transfer from my VDx to my old Palm Pro with 2MB upgrade card and OS3.3 on it.

Does one of you have beambox installed?

If so both of you will need it...

Also if you use programs that over/underclock your CPU it may affect beaming...

I have succesfully done it, so I know it is possible. I can't give any details about the setup of the Palm, because I don't own it. I suspect that there were no hacks installed, given the technical expertise of the Palm owner. I have no hacks on my Visor Deluxe.

Maybe is has to do with the color of your Visor. Mine is Ice. What color is yours?

I had the same problem (with same message) beaming to my husband's IIIx. We tried everything to no avail. I finally reluctantly called customer service. They were of no help until they gave up and said they would send a new one out. I received it yesterday and it works great. No more "Beamus Interuptis".

Thanks to all for your help.

I got a new Handspring replacement today and it works! But only if the units are more than a few inches away (say 5 inches?). Otherwise, beam interrupted. Doh!

So the solution is

1) spread the units apart and then beam
and if that doesn't work,
2) get a new unit! =)

nite!
