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

This should do the trick.

 

Thanks for the suggestions and comments... this has been a monkey wrench day... b/c i left my usb charger at home... car charger is broke... and I took the battery out and nothing... once I get home, I will know whats really wrong... and I almost put one of my other phones on my bag last nite as a back up... LOL

 

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.

 

I was using teh 'dummystone'!! ...my usb wall charger ....it must have been pulled out of the wall just enough for there to be zero charge... I didnt notice until too late... see my above ownage posts!

....need to buy another car charger... this couldve been avoided... I am buying cars... but no car chargers ...

 

thanks again for all the help!!!

 

Is there an App that will give me better alerts or reminders if I miss a call or a text... seems this new phone and my HTC do a very poor job of this, while my 8 yr old samsung phone did a great job!

 

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.

 

thanks alot... homebrew is FTW!

 

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!

 

Go get them brother!

 

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.

 

LOL only problem is dropping $20 for a new invisibleskin screen protector and then emailing MotionApps so I can reinstall Classic so I can use Epocrates

It's all good semi-new refurbished Pre is working fine hopefully 3rd time's the charm

 

Im def feelin you bro... glad ur back in business!

BTW... when is Epocrates gonna give us the real deal???... the classic is not finger friendly...

 

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

 

Thx for the info... March is soon... if so... then thats cool!

Clunky is def the word... LOL

 

Well now my fiance is getting a Pre on Wed and her parents are both getting Pixi's

Palm fam FTW

 

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.

 

I had that happen on my first Pre, it went back to Sprint.

 

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.

 

you guys read my post right?

Its a known issue.

 

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.

 

stupid verizon

nifty

 

downloaded the new update. WE HAVE VIDEO!!!!!

 

Finally got Epocrates without having to use Classic App.

 

a little snappier, not much though

 

I texted a video to an iPhone and got a message back:

 

Yeah Bro, I DL it the other day... great app!

BTW... best thing on the update is the reminder light!

 

I actually like that a lot as well. It's nice to see if you have a VM or TXT w/out opening it up.

 

flash???

im at work, i havent downloaded it yet

 

http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/...7_en.html#1401

SWEEEEEET

it says it has flash but as an app?

and now wi fi stays on when the screen turns off, FINALLY!! that was really annoying

 

 

800 mhz patch. Best thing since sliced bread.

Even makes the virtual keyboard work well!

 

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

 

800mhz patch?

 

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.

 

phone sucks im getting rid of it im already on my 4th phone and they sent me the 4th one and it still does the same thing.. The front is loose my speaker went out twice when i slide it up the screen or keypad doesnt turn on.. When i hit the button to check the time the screen doesnt light up and u have to shake it for it to come on or give it a light tap. Im starting not to like sprint so im thinkin on goin to verizon but now gettin the palm pre through them either

 

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.
