TreoStar will display reminders just after starting or receiving a call. You can use this to remind yourself of important things that you would like to talk about, or maybe to remember details about the caller/ callee.

The latest version of TreoStar can be downloaded here: (PRC | ZIP). The latest version of this user manual can be viewed online here.

HotSync or copy TreoStar.PRC to your Treo phone. It will apprear in the Preferences Panel under "Other". It should be installed in the internal memory for proper functioning.

Disable TreoStar, warm-reset and delete from the [Home]->[Menu]->[Delete] window.

TreoStar works with both GSM and CDMA variants of the Treo 650, Treo 700p, Treo 680 and Centro.

Invoking TreoStar from the Preferences Panel will display the TreoStar Preferences form. TreoStar currently has only one option, to enable or disable it. Future versions will probably have more options.

Once enabled, the first two lines of any text entered between the <ts> and </ts> tokens in the contacts memo will be displayed on making or receiving a call from or to that contact. You can - and probably should - use a utility like ShortCut5 (freeware) to enter these tokens quickly into your memo. Note that the text should be contained within the first 250 characters on your memo, or it will be ignored. Line breaks are preserved in the display text. If you have any "secret" contacts, they will be searched as well.

From v1.1b3, you can dismiss the reminder by tapping on it and redisplay the reminder by tapping in the same area again. An asterisk (*) is displayed to the left of the phone number (below the phone icon) when the reminder is not being displayed. This is useful as the display area is used to display other call related information by the phone library.

From v1.52 on, you can include Contact information like Company, Title, City etc. in your reminder note without having to retype them. Just include the following "tokens" in your reminder note and the corresponding information will be displayed in your reminder. Remember that your text still needs to be less that 250 characters and the reminder is still three lines high.

• Tiny PRC (~ 14 KB).
• TreoStar DOES NOT hook-up to the dreaded "hede", "hvch", or any of the other performance-draining notifications. You can check this with PalmInternals.
• Fast contact lookups.
• TreoStar does not interfere with any other software (esp. ringtones, picture Caller ID, etc.) installed on your Treo, as long as these don't take over the actual phone functionality and display dialogs.

• TreoStar has some problems working with the Treo 680 and the Centro. Future release will fix this.

• When on a call, you switch to another application and get back to the phone call progress window, the reminder is not displayed. Tapping "Hold" re-enables the reminder display.
• Sometimes, the TreoStar reminder is not displayed on the incoming call pop-up. This usually happens when the Treo is woken-up from sleep by an incoming phone call.
• TreoStar reminder is not re-enabled on switching views within the Treo phone application. The display may be re-enabled by pressing "Hold" in the phone progress form.
