Silent Treo

So I know this is a known bug from what other threads have said. In my case I don't even need to use the slider, but guranteed my phone sounds will all stop working at least once a day, even the vibrate does not work.
Soft reset solves the problem till the next time.
Should I consider reporting and getting my unit changed ?
I am testing one thing right now, normally I have my pushmail running 24x7, I think this might be the cause somehow. It's not direct push, its Oracle Pushmail plugin with works with pocket outlook.
Is this normal ?

Voicecommand is the problem, disable it and you will never have that problem again!

ok I will try this out and get back

that did not work, i disabled and left push email running overnight and sure enough in the morning the sounds no longer worked.
Tonight I will turn push mail off and see what happens I am pretty sure the sound will work in this case.

i had this issue earlier this week and i've seen numerous threads about other having the same issue. NO true, duplicated scenario or solution has been found (or i haven't seen one). After several soft resets i had to do a hard reset and reinstall everything. That was the only way i got the sound back.

so in your case are you saying a soft reset did not bring the sound back ?
in my case soft reset always brings the sound back.
I have kept my email turned off and so far no problems with the sound, I think mine has got something to do with oracle pusmail plugin, which is a real pain as I need that.

Unless this occurs in a clean device [no installed 3rd party apps] it might be a software issue. Maybe you should try and weed out the offensive app/s?

So I know which app causes it, for me its the oracle pushmail plugin for outlook that we get from work, but I can't really remove this, after all this is the reason I have this device :-(

When you lose the sound on your device does the camera also die at the same time?

Will have to check that out next time. I have had the camera go a few times, needed to soft reset. Next time the sound goes I will check the camera and report back.

Camera was ok when the sound went.

Are you SURE you have voicecommand COMPLETELY disabled? (NO checkmarks on NO options AND!!!! NO SHORTCUT TO VOICECOMMAND ON ANY BUTTON)?
Regards,
Ingo

Will have to try again, today I noticed the voice command was enabled, very weird I never set it on.
Will see how it goes this time.

OF COURSE!
The sound goes away.... it also came back once, without softresetting. I am not sure the VC is directly connected to this... I spent a good amount of $$$ to buy this phone for my wife, on the wave that she loved the 650... but what a bad idea!! Is something going to be done in order to fix all these bugs? By the way, my 750 is unlocked, but I guess it doesn't make any difference, or does it? Thank you guys, Paul.

If I checked TTY/TTN in phone options, all phone sound ceased. Uncheck and its back. Nothing in Help about this feature - what is it?
Chris

the innocent Treo...the silence of the Treo...
Waht is it? It is a shame!!! After almost one year that this model is out, still no fix for the problem! I spent $600.00 for this phone...it is really a shame.

Funny - same here. She loved her TX, I bought her the 750.
Ringer gone. Comment "Isn't ringing a basic feature of a phone honey?"
Just had to hard-reset, all others failed.
Not nice.

Same story here. She loved the 650, it got to the end of its life, so I bought her the new 750. Even worse, it doesn't even vibrate for her....lol...

Silent 750
Seems that a lot bought the 750 for the wife.
Even more reason to get the sound issue fixed
Any news yet on this - any word from Palm?

Every day i have to reboot my phone, even when i receive a call the phone don't vibrate.
Is there any mortscript that screen on screen off the phone when you receive a screen ?

[Q] Question about Alarms on the Fuze

When I have an alarm set up, for example I have a M-F alarm to wake up for work, and the alarm goes off, it never displays any option for "Snooze" or "Disable". In fact, nothing comes on the screen at all. I have it set to repeat if I miss it, so to disable it I end up having to go into the alarms config, and turn off the alarm manually by unchecking it.
There has to be an easier way.... every other phone I've had (including my Blackjack II) has a "snooze" and "disable" option when the alarm goes off.
I know this must be obvious but I can't find it. Please help!

i havent confirmed this, but i saw this info on another forum:

alarm
i just did the alarm this morning and saw the same thing. what i did was touch the top screen with all the symbols to bring up the system menu. there was an alarm symbol. i clicked it then the soft keys changed to disable on left and menu on right. tapped menu and the options for snooze came up. clicked snooze for ten min and it went away. ten min later the alarm went off again. hope this helps.

Yup that's it exactly. I do this every weekday morning!

I can only offer that I have the same problem. I have a feeling it is similar to my problems with the phoen application and how it now works.
I feel it is touchflo 3d fault.
Correct me if I am wrong but the overlay of TouchFlo has made my device more troublesome than my 8125 on wm5.

Wow, that totally defeats the purpose of snooze, by the time i figure out how to do all that it when i'm half asleep i'll be wide awake already!
Guess the 3rd party will have to fix this.
This is another example of where basic functionality of a phone has been superseded by glitzy features.
Another thing I noticed is that the alarm will repeat a few times and then just disable itself and never go off again. There is an option buried somewhere for alarms and how many times to repeat but I think it was grayed out for no apparent reason.

I had that problem too. I ended up getting gAlarm and I'm happy with it. There is nice big snooze button as well as a stop button. I think if you turn the phone over, it will snooze too. But I'll have to verify that.

omg..i HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!!
i thought i was the only one that was completely lost on this...
There has to be something were missing...because going thru all those steps is alot of hassle, when ur half asleep

I'm willing to bet a dollar that most of use that rely on the Fuze alarm clock are now getting up roughly 10 minutes earlier...

True That.
I Hate it.
lmao

The built in alarms just don't cut it. If you're going to use it for getting you up so you can go to work it's worth getting a good dedicated alarm.
On my TyTn I liked pTravelAlarm:
http://www.burroak.on.ca/pta.html
On the Fuze I'm testing Klaxon:
http://www.koushikdutta.com/search/label/Klaxon
I think I slightly prefer pTravelAlarm but it's not free; when I fumble with the phone it shakes enough to shut off the alarm when I just want to snooze.
But both have nice big snooze buttons you can jab at when you're half-asleep/hungover.

Thanks guys, i'll check out some of the suggested solutions!

The popup is occurring but it is happening BEHIND TF3D. I highly recommend Klaxon. The program is a little slow and setting the time is annoying as you cant type numbers, you have to press up/down to find your numbers but it goes off and it is a nice big screen.

Just got the HTC Fuze

I just recently got the Fuze. i had it sence Saturday and im kinda confused about it and the programs. but now i was wondering sence this is a PDA phone. with downloadable apps and whatnot. i was wondering what should i do with it. and i have no clue how to or figure out how to change the background of all the tabs. if its possible can anyone tell me and is there a templet so i can create my own.
oh and do any of you Fuze owners know if theres a way to make your alarm go off wen the phone is off or charging.??? because all my phones were able to go off when the phone is off but this one seems to be in a different basket.
thanks.

Start with the manual and then read the links below.

like the manual that it came with it?? or what?

no the manual for the iphone...
but a real answer for your only actual question. download g alarm its much better than the winmo alarm and actually works

well.i looked at the g alarm. and its the same. dosnt go off wen the phone is off. which is pointless when its called a "alarm".

Are you actually turning the phone off (which takes about 30 seconds) or are you just pressing the power button once and the screen turns off? If you just press the power button once, that puts the phone in standby, not off, and the alarms should work fine.

im actually turning the phone off. because every once in a while its good to have it off. but is there a way to make the alarm go off wen its shut off. like regular phones.

No thats not possible. What is so good about having it off? If you don't want to receive calls go to the comm manager and turn the cellular radio off.

I've never owned or heard of a phone that can turn itself on for alarms. It's not really "off" in this case, is it?

noo look. my phones i had the Sony ericsson w580i and the Razr v2* ithink* both had alarms on them. and i could have them off. and the alarm would go off on the time and give me a option of having it turn the phone on, which i want to know if the fuze has that..also when you have ur phone on for so long, and dont power off once ina while it gets slow... like a computer so i like to have it off some times and have the alarm go off to wake me or some cases not to wake.

i know what u mean some phones, the alarm will start even if the phone is completely off (dumb phones with clock battery. then the phone starts the alarm only not the phone
to answer ur question no
smartphones cant do anything if they are off
PS this would be use full if ur phone is low on battery and u dont have a charger and ur sleeping outside, u just turn the phone off before going to bed and it will have enough juice to run ur alarm

Can you provide further details in regards to "modifications" you've made to your device?
Listing those could potentially offer some kind of lead as to what your issue might be.

download Klaxxon - this is very good alarm programme

same issue. had different qtec and htc phones so far and alarm doesn't work on any of them. means - it works but not always.
I have quessed that alarm is linked to the clock on the display and that is linked to system clock. sometimes the link doesn't work properly.
often happens that the clock in the middle of the screen and in the corner show different time, sometimes the difference is few hours. it goes away with next minute change but still funny. I think that the application that controls the clock and alarm is not working in highest priority compared to other apps running on background.

I highly recommend G-Alarm, the HTC alarms sucks!
When I first got my phone, I was late for work 3 days in a row! I quickly found out this was Windows phone issue.
G-Alarm hasn't let me down once.

I had the same problem once but I think I have answer. My alarm didn't sound when my battery was below 20%. When I charge the battery the alarm work great. Does someone have the same scenario?

Nope, mine doesnt work properly at any charge.
Sometimes it sounds, sometimes it doesn't.
I used to have Galarm, but the phone died. So I lost it. And Im not happy about forking out for it again....

To be honest I could not rely on the alarm when using a stock 1.66 ROM. Since using Artemis ROM I have not single issue with the alarm not working.

i had the same problem with the artemis rom, as well. i would try another third party application as suggested by others.

[Q] Stock alarm occasionally doesn't work

Occasionally my phone won't sound the alarm or vibrate (I set this in the hope that the phone will vibrate!!).
When I finally wake up (late for work!!) the screen is showing that the alarm is still 'operating' (offering me dismiss and snooze options) but not a peep.
My wife's phone does the same thing. I'm on Orange and she's on Vodafone.
I haven't got angry birds, I has ES Track Manager but uninstalled that, but that had no effect.
Anyone had similar experiences? Or know how to fix this? Its more frustrating that it is occasional rather than all the time. It would be easier to diagnose!
I've read some posts about phone getting a bit warm, but mine doesn't seem to.
Cheers,
Mike.

That is my alarm and never have had a problem.
HTC Sensation 4G with Beats Audio

You can try going to settings-sounds-volume and manually set the alarm volume.
A long shot: turn off phone remove the battery and turn on.
Or download an app from the market. I suggest Alarm Clock Plus. (Free)
