My Treo 750 will freeze (no input from touch panel nor keyboard and the cursor just flashing at the end of Last Name popup field.) when I entered the edit screen of the contact person which founded in Lookup field in "Today".
But editing the same contact person in the "Contacts" application will not freeze.
The contact edit screens in the above cases are pretty the same except the upper left corner shows "Start" and "Contacts" separately.
Any help??? Thanks in advance.

Greetings,
I just moved back to the Windows Mobile world from a Palm Treo 700P after a year of suffering. I currently have the AT&T Tilt.
I noticed a problem with my contacts that is very odd. Some of the contacts, not all, are corrupted with a bunch of characters in the summary view on the Tilt. It is always right after the company name and always starts with (*PLMO*
It does not show up in any of the fields when I go to edit it nor does it show up in the Outlook 2007 fields. HOWEVER, when I do a simple search in Outlook on my contacts using (*PLMO* as the search string, it displays all of the contacts affected by this problem which tells me it is somehow attachted to a searchable field.
Another note, If I remove the company name from an affected contact, the corruption disappears but if I put anything back in that field, even a letter, and save the contact - all the characters reappear.
My guess is that this is some sort of corruption from the Palm Treo. I used Exchange Activesync on the Palm and obviously do the same for the Tilt to sync contacts, calendar, etc.
Here is an example of the text shown on one contact with a small amount of characters. It looks like code:
(*PLMO*<BDM>1</BDM><BDP>1</BDP><ANP>0</ANP><RGT>8=AAAAAAAA</RGT><PH6>1=(314) 555-5555</PH6>)
Most contacts fill the whole screen with garbage like this:
(*PLMO*<PCT>/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEBWgFaAAD/2wBDAAgGBg...........same kinda characters fill the whole screen.
Any help cleaning this all up would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Are there hidden fields in Outlook Contacts that this type of data is stored. Why is it tied to the Company field. If I clear that particular field, the garbage goes away.
I'm trying to avoid rebuilding about a hundred "corrupted" contacts.
Thanks!
Just an FYI. Must not be a very common issue...
I found an easy but time consuming fix. You just have to export each affected contact to a vcard...delete the contact from Outlook...then import it back in to Outlook.
I tried to export all of the affected contacts to a CSV file then import them all back at once, but Outlook could not read the file that it created during the export for some reason.
I have a shortcut that opens a new (blank) email to a contact with the phone number already filled in.
Ie. tmail.exe -service "SMS" -to "01458725145"
But what I`d really like is , or the thread of that person to be opened, and be ready for me reply to them at the bottom (same as if you clicked reply on a SMS).
Does anyone know of a command to reproduce this?
My employer uses Intellisync to provide access to corporate e-mail on pda's. It took some doing, but it is now running properly on my Fuze. However, Intellisync places the e-mail in an odd folder called "Outlook E-mail." This folder does not show up as an account in Messaging and can't be accessed by the email tab in TF3D. I can only get to my e-mail by using the right arrow to scroll through accounts, opening the Intellisync client or opening the "Show" tree view and selecting the Outlook E-mail folder. Anyone have any ideas on getting WM6.1 to see this as a real account?
Another odd thing about Intellisync is that it won't scroll. That is, within the client program, if a page is longer than the screen, I can't get to the unseen part. I move the slider down, and it just pops back up. I press the down arrow to scroll down and nothing happens other than the down arrow momentarily changing color. I assume this is some weird remnant from the process of porting from Symbian to WM6. Anybody know what is going on?
Hi,
I have ookba's WM6.5 ROM. Two questions:
1) How do I manage the automatic launch of startup programs when device is turned on?
2) I collect notes in an inbox. The inbox is mapped to the softkey on the home screen, to the path \Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote Mobile\INBOX.00000015.1sp. So yes, it is a OneNote "page" or whatever you call it. The problem is, when I press the softkey button, the phone takes me to the general view of OneNote pages, not the actual INBOX page, as I have defined in the path. Any way to hack this? This method currently requires one click too much for it to be easy to use
Thanks in advance!
Hi:
how can i tweak the phone so that phone numbers (numbers) in the subject field of the calendar entries show up as hyperlinks which will enable you to tap them and bring up an option to call the number. This worked in WM6.1 on my q9h, does not work on my new tilt2 (Energy ROM Dec. 31 21885 Manila 2.5). It will work if there are numbers in the description/notes filed, however many times peope just put in a conference call number in the subject field of the calendar entry.
Thanks in advance for any help
