Day 5

So My Treo has been happy for days now. The Phone does not reboot and I have not had any problems with it. I am happy again.
I am Still going to try to find out witch piece of software was causing the reboots on my device. The only 2 pieces of software that I have not reloaded onto the Treo is the Bolwing game and the voice software that came with it.

I have downloaded Buttler I have not tried it yet but it sounds like it has some very nice features.

Treo 650 Day 3

So My Treo is very happy. So not installing Warfare Inc. or the Voice Dialing program seams to have fix it. Or maybe its the fact that I am not really running anything other then the Phone app right now. But its been 1 full day with no problems.

So tonight I am going to add Warfare Inc back on to my device and see if it will still work. I hope so Warfare Inc is one of the coolest games I have played on the Palm.


So I went home and I installed Warfare Inc on my Treo 650 and I have had no problems. I played the game for a while I was able to get to the 3rd level and my phone is still working. It has not rebooted and it has not had any other problems.
I am thinking the problem might be the Voice software that came with the device.
My Plan is to give my current configuration a day or two to make sure it is working correctly then add a new piece of software.

Treo 650 Day 2

So I reloaded everything except for Warfare Inc and my Treo is working fine So Far.

Now I am just waiting to see if it will stay that way.
The strange thing is that I looked on the Treo software compatibility list
http://www.palmfocus.com/treo650software.asp and it is listed as working ok.

But last night I was playing Warfare and after I was done playing I tried to dial a number on my Treo and it would just reset the device. So I unloaded everything and reloaded everything except for Warfare and today I can use the phone.

Its very hard because I played the game for a while yesterday and the phone was fine it was only after I had played the gave for an extended period of time. I wonder if the bug is time based or if it has anything to do with the software I installed on it

Treo 650 Day 1

So I just got my Treo 650 and boy am I happy or at least I thought I was.

I got it yesterday and the first thing I did was load it up with Documents To Go the Games that come with the Treo 650 and some other Palm Games like Warfare.

Then I got to work today and the Voicemail button did not know what number to dial.
I called the Cingular help support and they said this is a know issue here is the fix

It says that just don't use the voice mail button and create your own. Sounds great to me.

Then my Treo Started to reboot every time it received a call. This is not what I want my phone todo to reboot everything it get a call. Also when I tried to make a call if I hit the dial on the touch screen the device would restart. I can use the button to make a call but not the touch screen

So I called the Treo Help line and they had me reboot it by pulling the battery 5 times and see if it fixed it. It did not. Then they asked me to do a hard reset witch would delete all data on the device.

So I did it and the device worked. It could receive calls and make them but my phone book was deleted when I did the reset.

So I went home and tried to figure out which program was causing the problem so I one by one reinstalled my program's. I installed Documents To Go new version that I downloaded. Then restarted the device and it worked. I did this with all of my programs. And it all worked then I was playing Warfare a very cool Starcraft like gave for the Palm and when I was finished I tried to make a phone call and me device restarted.

So I had to reload the device AGAIN. I put a few games and Documents On The Go back on the device and now it seams to be working.
I will wait to see what tomorrow brings
