Default Freezing Revisited

I have had a Treo 650 for about 3 years. I'm with AT&t and on my third one. If it were not for the advantages in my work, I'd throw the thing against a wall with a smile on my face. The phone freezes up at least 5 times a day and always overnight, even if I turn the phone off at night. I have all of the latest updates, no third party applications, a piece of paper behind my card, turned off bluetooth and the automatic time set, and done soft and hard resests repeatedly, all with no success. If there is anything out there that I've not done, I'm willing to try. Thanks!

You might search palm.com for a solution. I do not have a sim card but read somewhere here that a larger sim card or version corrected some problems...not sure if they are your problems though.

I appreciate the help but I've been all over Palm and done the card as well. If it weren't so handy, it would be easier to get rid of.

Hi:

Not sure if this will help, but there is one more type of reset you didn't mention and that is the "Zero Out" Reset. Take a look here and scroll down looking for it. It is not easy to do without three hands so you may want to have a helper available. An ET member did make a video about how to do the reset and you can find that .

I know this has solved some odd issues for some folks so it is certainly worth a shot. BEWARE...All data and settings will b e wiped out.

I also suggest that after performing that reset properly, do not sync the device. Use it for a couple or three days as just a phone to see if it is stable. Then you can think about restoring in case that brings back the issues.

The Treo is a complex device and there are too many things that can cause problems. Starting over with a fresh device will at least give you a chance to identify the culprit(s) if that is what is happening.

Hopefully, if you do have to ultimately throw it against a wall, maybe you will do it without a smile because you liked the Treo.....at least a little.

We share your pain......But come on, don't you just feel the excitement building?

I appreciate the tip. I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes. As much as I hate to admit it, it is a little exciting.

Hi:

I just realized the link I intended to include did not make it in the reply. Here it is and scroll down to second from the bottom.....

Sorry about that!
