Hi all,
I know I can't really shutdown the Treo 750.
But is there an application or something else that can completely shutdown the device?
At night I do not use the Treo and I switch on my Nokia but the battery of the Treo isnt that great so I would like to shut it down completely to save some battery...
Thanks
It's not a perfect solution but you can always take out the PDA. Since the device has persistent storage, everything should work fine in the morning when you put it back...

lately my phone has been whacky.
it's been so bad that everytime i push the on button i wonder if i'll see anything.
for about a month now my phone has been 'broken". It keeps going back to it's initial mind state i.e . nothing in the memory whereby i must constantly sync it anew, which made a bit easier by the fact that i syn with both my pc's at home and work.
so one can imagine how frustrated it must me to wonder everytime one turn on the ppc if one's contacts are still there. or if the note i just scribbled down will still be there (in case i didn't save it to external memory) when i turn it back on.
is there a remedy for that?
thanks
By explaining what phone you have the more likely you will get an answer.
If it's windows mobile 2003 or earlier, could be a faulty battery,
Windows mobile 2005 or newer - time to send it for repair really
WM2k3 used ram as storage, which had a low powered backup battery, if the device had a totally flat battery for over 20 mins, it wasn't unusual to lose all user data. WM5 changed this and used 'persistant storage' which wasn't prone to losing any info, if your device is one of these later machines and has alzheimers, it's time to get it fixed
my phone is a sx66 running windows 2003
Hi guys
i have been using treo 750v for about 3 weeks, I updated it with the wm6 rom provided by vodafone on the first day I got the device, it works at first quite smooth, in the first week I haven't had any crashes. Then as I installed more programs, it beginns to sporadically crash (or freezing), so I did a hard reset.
Then I installed less softwares (15-20) than I did before, at first it seems ok, but a few days later it beginn to crash again, mostly when on cradle, when I leaved it on cradle for a while and check again, the system has already been freezed, cant do a thing with it but reset. sometimes it crashes after I removed it from the cradle. yesterday I tried to open a lot of programs to fill the ram, as I want to see how many programms it can run before it gets slow, and it freezed when it had about 13Mb ram left after I opened a application. Another occasion as i remember is when I took it out of the pocket and was about to unlock it, it does not react, reset again...
Well I konw it is problably the 3rd party softwares that cause the system unsteady, but I bought this smartphone for the purpose of installing softwares on it and If I only use those preinstalled software, than what's the point of buying a smart phone. I have previously also used a HTC Wizard for about 2 month, I also had a lot of softwares on it but as I remember it does not crash as offen as this treo 750.
I just want to ask the other treo 750 users out there, are u experiencing the same problem? or is it possible my device or this wm6 version I installed is not steady? what I can do?
Well I know there is one thing I can do, exchange it to a treo 680, but I really like the 750.....
That such since I want to comment that I spend(pass) the same thing to my myself, does one love that this haci in ocaciones this one well and in others the screen freezes.
And villain qes that not if it(he,she) was for that me key or other one is that he(she) installs the skin swiht of spbmobileshell very well certainly but since then freezes also I did to him(her) hard reset and equal this one and not that to do...
Regards.
I have the same problem, today im gone to send back the phone to the store, i made 2 hard resets, but the problem persist, i have problem with the phone calls too, i just recive a missed call notification or rings 1 time, i hate this phone really!!!
Yesterday, my Polaris with original HTC WM 6.1 set back itself to the delivery state. When I where at work, I wondered, because the battery was suddenly empty. I have charged it on Sunday.
After I have begun to recharge it for a short time, I switched it on. The Polaris told me to calibrate the touchscreen. After it, It started with the assistant for first steps of WM. I canceled it and then I where on the Home Screen. The HTC Home and the Plugin for G-Alarm where lost. When I tried to start a program I have installed some time before, it hadn’t worked. All programs I had installed for my self, seemed to be lost. When I tried to start them, there comes the failure like comes when I’ll install them (the program is from an unknown developer…; I don’t know the text in English exactly, because it is in German on my Polaris) All the SMS where lost and the Plugins on the Program Tab of the HTC Home and the Phone numbers in the Cube where also lost.
All seemed that the Polaris is in delivery state, but the installed programs where still in the list of programs in settings of WM.
The last way for me was to install the ROM now onto the phone. After I’ve installed it new today, WM 6.1 again, all worked very well and I’ve installed some programs like finger menu etc. new. After one restart while an installation, the problem comes again. The whole Phone seemed to be in delivery state. The only change is now, that the phone-program of the Polaris in WM doesn’t work anymore. When I click onto the telephone receiver- picture in WM, nothing happened. Earlier the screen comes, where I have to input my pin-number.
Have anybody an idea, why the mistake happened and what I can do to repair it? Is it a soft- or hardware mistake? I have no Idea what I could do to repair it. The last way I could do is to send it to the dealer where I’ve bought it, because I’m still in guarantee-time, or has anybody an idea, how I can repair the software without send it back for repair?
Regards from Germany,
Robert
Robert,
Get that phone right back to the SUpplier, as its clearly hardware issue. You have tried to re-flash with original 6.1 which was succesful.
btw just curious, did you try using the phone standard without adding new apps for a few days just to see if it was stable or not?
Might be a good idea to do this, just so u can be sure its not a software clash.
Thanks for your fast answer, timmymarsh!!
I've only tried the phone a few minutes without any apps. Then I installed only 4 or 5 small apps, which I've used before I had the first problems on monday over a long time.
This day I watched onto the invoice of the phone. I bought it last year at the end of April. So I will send it as fast as possible to the supplier, that I won't loose my garantee.
After your post I'm pretty sure, that it should be a hardware issue.
If I had a longer rest of the garantee time, I would try it without apps some days, but in this case I'll play safe...
have just had exactly the same problem only have been using the udk syrius r7 rom for last few months, turned phone off while in work and on turning back on losing all contacts etc. have tried reflashing with r8 beta & had same problem have now flashed 3lit3-VI rom and seems 2 b ok now.

the indications given looks like due to the battery was drained, so you will lose all applications been installed as well as data and information on the ram (sdcard will survive). in worst cases, your device will stay on bootloader mode, will not loading the rom, though hard reset when battery full can resolve the situation.
Unless you can find hardware related reason to draining your battery higher than normal, no i dont think it is hardware related.
Hi everyone. Great site keep it up.
I just bought a HTC S710 and I need a couple of pointers.
First of all I've got a problem which I hope you can solve for me. Whenever my phone is off and I try to turn it on, it reaches the startup screen where it says "windows mobile" and then it shuts down. The only way for my phone to reach the home page and not shut down is:
1. If the sim card is not in. (Phone boots up reaches the home page and everything is functional)
2. Or if it is plugged in the charger/USB cable, sim card/no sim card.
Another small issue I have is that sometimes it shuts down automatically, which is inconvenient.
I would appreciate if you could help me with this problem
hi, i dont know if this would be a fix or if you would be willing to do it but if you install a custom rom then it could fix the problem and make your phone way better to use aswell. I'm using fireburned's 6.5 rom and its great, would recommend it. good luck with fixing it!
Yeah I am wanting to install a cooked ROM, but I have a kind of problem. I'm running linux and I can't seem to find a program to install the ROMs through linux. Got any ideas
sorry i dont know, i dont really know much about this i just did it with my phone and hoped it would work, so im lucky i didnt brick it to be honest. was it the SDA unlock which didnt work or the uspl?
no no no. its the programs. They are written to work on Windows systems. I'm running Ubuntu and I can't find these programs for my OS
Use a Windows PC to do USPL, after that you can always flash from SD-Card.
I'll go by a friends house later on to use his computer to install the USPL.
This "glitch" though is really weird, I tried to see if my phone would start up if I had the hands free plugged in, and it did start up. . So as long as something is plugged into the USB the phone will start up with the sim in. If nothing is plugged in, it won't

My touch screen stopped working yesterday and Ive been trying little fixes here and there to make my phone easier to use. I charge my phone through my usb on my laptop and I woke up this morning and saw my phone made 8 calls throughout the night to multiple people. How did this happen??? I woke up and saw my contacts were open which seems like that something on the touch screen interface works somewhere, just not to the touch. What the hell can I do to stop this besides turning on airplane mode?
Have you hard reset your phone? maybe even try to flash a new rom? maybe jsut something became corrupted....
If I hard reset it without being able to use the touch screen after will i be able to get in the phone?
Maybe you have an exotic thing for winmo in your device - a virus?...
It only happens when my phone is plugged into my laptop.
So it only happens when its cradled, its not right, I agree with the above, sounds like you have a virus, format SD and flash different rom.
I have never heard of this happening by accident, either you have some sticky keys or something is kicking in and dialling people, unless your home network is seriously being abused and your phone is being hacked via the laptop (highly unlikely) but all the same, I wouldn’t rule it out.
Hope you get it sorted...
