I thought in the past I was able to set the graffiti anywhere to always be on.
The T3's version of anywhere.
Now when I turn on my unit to enter in my password (Palm security app) I have to enter it via the graffiti area.
I thought in the past I could just write on the line.
Is there something I need to change to make the default pen input anywhere on the screen?
Thanks

Since you have the Palm Security update installed, why don't you use the Quick UnLock feature? It will allow you to unlock the unit with 5-way nav key presses. You can set the number of retries to a very low number so that upon failure the normal "full" password is needed to unlock; this is a nice feature since no one is likely to guess your key-press password in 2 tries.

To answer your question, I think T3's on-screen write feature is never active on the startup Password screen. Tealscript, which has its own graffiti anywhere mode can be set to always on and will work. You can also set your password to be numbers that are entered with a numeric keypad that is large enough to use your fingers.

Cheers

"Quick UnLock feature", with the Palm security feature?
Not sure what you mean.
Where can this be found as well as additional info.

You have to install the security update in order to use Quick Unlock. The option only appears when a password is assigned.
