650 Issues

Has anyone expressed their 650's phone (radio) cutting off on it's own? Every 5 minutes or so the radio cuts itself off.

Can't say that I've heard about this one too much yet. You didn't say whether you are using a GSM or CDMA Treo but if it's a GSM model make sure that your SIM card is properly seated. You may have a bad SIM. There is an issue with Cingular SIM's at the moment. If you have a 64k Gemstar SIM, I suggest that you loose it quickly. Cingular is aware of the issue and should be able to replace your SIM with either a 64k Axalto SIM (which may be hard to find at the moment) or you could go back to the older 32k SIM's until the problem gets fixed."If you have a 64k sim from Gemplus then you will have a rebooting problem. Go in and get the Axalto sim they should works. On the chip there is a six digit number left of the gold chip. If it ends with G it is bad. If it ends in A it is okay.
32k sims will work.This problem cause dropped calls and rebooting during calls etc."

Hmm what (radio)? I didn't know it had one. What's the deal with this?

He is referring to the cell portion connecting to the wireless network.

Thanks for the replies folks.....

I'm using the GSM 650.... and I was referring to my phone it's self cutting off. (it's not rebooting ) Just the phone it's self is cutting off on it's own.

After I made this post for some strange reason it stopped having this problem however I just found it wierd that the phone portion of the device would just shut off by itself.
