Palm Treo Problems
Ha – I just wrote about how unhappy I’ve been with my Treo 650 and to spite me it went into an endless loop thing after a hot synch and now the phone won’t turn on. I did find this nice Treo Troubleshooting forum post which has a lot of helpful stuff and links, but I also am deciding that my price point for a Google Phone is going up – way up if I have to buy a new phone in any case.
The Treo is too much an example of tech designed for tech people rather than regular folks. It’s a good phone though Sprint rural connectivity has been very lacking and I always find myself wanting a better browser and also a modem for my laptop. My old little sprint cell gave great modem capabilities even with regular service (Sprint only supported them in a marginally weird way after I bought a Sprint branded but “no longer supported” connection cable and software). I think they were gearing up for the EVDO stuff.
(hours later) I’m not finding an easy fix for the Treo problems so it looks like a complete reset will be needed. I’m reading for a Google phone now.

Is there a know screen-freezing issue with the 755p? any known fix?
This week on my Palm Treo when I dial a number it responds “dialing”; however, there is no ring or connection. Others say it goes through to them, but I can’t hear them and the screen stays frozen. Any suggestions?
I have a Palm Treo 650 that won’t dial out sometimes. I dial the number and after a few seconds the screen returns to the main menu. I also do not get as good a signal as my daughter, who has the exact same phone when we are in the same location. Do I need a new antenna or does anyone know what the problem could be?
my keypad on my treo 600 is not working properly, the letters: A,Q,L,O and the back arrow on the scroll pad are not working, any advice on how to fix this problem would be helpful
What about the N97? It does seem like a prnimsiog smartphone but I haven't seem much medical app for it.
Jama that sounds like a weak signal issue but can’t explain why the other phone works.
Nate sounds like dirt in there – maybe try some compressed air or take it in for a cleaning?
i have treo 650, and all it keeps doing is trying to connect to hotsync, it wont do anything else. it won’t even turn on.
not to mention when i actually bought the phone they said they dont put insurance on those kinds of phones.
so any suggestions?
Felicia I have trouble also with hotsync and don’t even do it anymore. After you make sure you are fully charged and reboot by removing battery for 3+ minutes and reinserting you may need to do a complete reboot of the phone – I forget how but look online for “rebooting treo 650″

My Treo often simply automatically resets itself. I resets to default settings.
Also, when I depress the “ON” button, it may take 10 to 20 seconds to start?
