Blinking * in the upper left hand corner.

[cybergodd]

I have been using Palms for the past 5 years or so... But my last Palm (M515) prior to my Treo650 did something odd every once in a while. Right on top of the date a Blinking * would appear. It would not go away until I did a hard reset.

Now my Treo is doing the same thing. Does anyone have a clue what the cause of it is and how to cure it? With the Treo, it seems to go away at times when I plug into the Cradle and Sync (but not always).

touch the blinking icon with your stylus and it should show you what is going on. A message, missed call, text.

Mine has blinked and i have cleared it by viewing or clearing it. Just can't remember what the blinking icon was notifing me of.:mad:

you have had the Palm so long and never figured it out ???? Perhaps you should buy a Motorola the blinking astericks is undicated missed call / voicemail/ message you have to click on it it will show you the details than selecting the tick box next to you to discard it Easy Peasy

You are right... It was notifying me of something... missed alarms on the M515 and missed calls or alarms on the 650.


Thanks

Hi,
use your stylus and touch the blinking star. It means you have a voice message.

Press and hold the center button on the 5 way and you won't have to take out your stylus.

Once I realized what that '*' was, you like when it shows up, esp if you missed a call or a meeting........................assuming your meeting alarm wasnt activated!!!

A neat feature indeed.....................
