My treo 700's did this all the time. All 6 of the ones I had 
This should do the trick.

do you use a touchstone?
sometimes if it's not just right it won't charge n you won't notice.
700p's were bastards. I upgraded mine to the 755 firmware and it was all good after that.

install preware.
there are small patches that will do just that.
I have a patch for fone calls and another for text.
it basically repeats the alert every 2 minutes until you dismiss it.

Around halloween the top left power button on my OG Pre stopped working. They gave me a refurbished phone and wouldn't you know last night the exact same problem occurred. I did the soft reset etc but still not functioning. It's annoying having to open the slider everytime I want to turn on the phone so am going to take it back to Sprint today and demand a new, and not refurbished phone.
Sprint replacement plan FTW!

Sprint has the best replacement plan. Well worth the $7/month to avoid headaches. I used to have Verizon and they allow two replacements/year and dropped my insurance pretty quick when I had my TREO's. That's when I moved to Sprint.

I think they've said sometime soon March???
Classics been pretty clunky since day one.
I have it for all the meaningfull applications like first aid apps and pretty much any app that's more than making fart sounds.
it does work very well with bike or diee2 and all my other games though. Clunky but well

F-ck, I use my speaker plug all the time in my Element to connect with the car stereo and with earpiece at home. Often after removing the plug, my phone only works in the speaker setting and not regular handset setting. So if I'm making a call, I can't hear sh-t unless I turn on speakerphone yet the person on the other line can hear me.
Super annoying.

Solution........
1.plug headphones or plug back in
2. open music app and play music
3 verify that music is coming out of headphone jack
4. stop music playing
5 after about 10 secs close music application
6 unplug cable/earphone
7. check to see if normal headset operation has resumed. (which it should)
Thats a known bug. Just follow those steps and you wont have that problem anymore.

LOL this is my 3rd Pre and it's happened on each one. I just go to device info and do a reset and it's all good. I'm sure it's because I use the headphone jack all the time.

Yea that's fine when I have a headset ready but the problem seems to manifest when I only have my phone LOL. I've even stuck in a cotton tip applicator with rubbing alcohol to clean the jack per the Pre forums to no avail. You're technique doesn't always work FYI.

yeah that wont work if its a physical problem. only when the headphone glitch arises.
It used to happen to me when I was streaming music on my Pre via the headphone jack in the car. I'd get to wherever I needed to be and just disconnected the cord and went on my way. Then an hour later when I get a phone call I'd be like.. man!
then id have to find a headphone jack to solve the problem cause soft resets did nothing.

I hear it doesn't kill the battery all that much either. Interesting.

for me battery is almost the same and heat has not been an issue at all.
The phone performs as it should and everything works so much better. Even the virtual keyboard patch now works pretty smooth.
yeah there's a 720mhz and 800mhz patch. There's a utube video on how to install and it's all over precentral.net.

unfortunately sprint doesn't really refurbish them. They polish them up and send it back out.
take off the battery lid and look at the screw opposite the side of the camera, if there's a black sticker with "Palm" written in white on it the phone was never opened.
