An Easter Egg is a secret feature or function of a software application designed to amuse. A popular use for software easter eggs is for the developers of a product to hide their names inside the application, making the user go through strange menus and clicks to uncover them. Luckily, we've uncovered a whole bunch of Easter Eggs for you! What a nice surprise! |

Description: Dot Shortcuts Procedure: Issue the shortcut command (in graffiti, it looks like a lower case "L") and then a "." followed by a number .1 - some sort of "debug" mode, opens the serial port. SERIOUS drain of the batteries if left open (soft reset to close) .2 - opens the serial port (another debug mode). Soft reset to close. .3 - Turn auto-off off .4 - flashes user name and number - Unknown purpose .5 - removes user configuration and hotsync log CAUTION: If you re-sync after doing this shortcut, you will create duplicate entries! Better to hard-reset and PC to Pilot Sync instead. .6 - displays the ROM date .7 - toggle between NiCad and Alkaline battery mode. Meant for those using NiCad batteries, to show proper "fuel" gauge on the app screen. On models with built in batteries (such as the Vx), the only option is Lithium Ion. .8 - toggles the "inverse" backlighting on the new Palm V or Palm IIIx. NOTE: If you upgrade from older Palm device, this will not work unless you delete the Graffiti_ShortCuts.PRC from your backup directory BEFORE you do your first HotSync. If you've already done a HotSync, you'll have to back everything up (I highly recommend Backup Buddy to do this), delete the file mentioned above, hard reset your device, and then HotSync. As this doesn't work for all people, I really do recommend instead using a "Hack" that does this automatically and doesn't have to be re-issued after a soft reset (like a dot shortcut does). GreenLightHack is the one I personally use in my Palm Vx. .i - enables Beam receive for a short time. No longer do you need to have Beam Receive turned on in Prefs/General! |
