Treo 750, again another sob story, didn't back up my data!!!

I know better but didn't activesync my treo 750 for the last 4 or 5 months. Many reasons, supposedly activesync only let's you back up to 2 computers, I got a 3rd computer, starting using it primarily. I'm a realtor and turns out that our supra ekey that allows me to open lockboxes on homes caused my treo to crash while trying to enter a home. I have now discovered this is a known problem with this 3rd party software. I am in a reboot mode similar to that of Diego's, a past poster. All I want is the new contact information from the last 5 months. I entered all of it from the phone and I find it hard to believe that data is not retreivable from somewhere in there.
I have tried multiple soft resets, tried doing an activesync on one of the old computers, tried the solution offered to Diego by ??Cola?? of taking out the sim card and then trying to reboot.
Thanks for your help,
Donna

Thank you all.... I can no longer wait for a fix on the treo 750. I have lost my data for the last 5 months, but I think that it is not my client data, it is contractor data. I will survive. I have used a palm since 1996, I don't even remember their names. I had a Palm 3, was that one? I had a Palm V, maybe a Palm Vx. I had weird phones that were the first to have palm built into them, Ericson huge device, etc. Everything palm... The graveyard at my house is huge!!!
Traitor!!! I bought an Iphone last week. So far I am happy, happy, happy!!! I have not synced yet, and praying that I can get the data from Outlook on my computer to the iphone, but the Iphone is really slick.
My advice to anyone who is a realtor. Use your phone as a phone and contact database. Don't use your phone to sync with the MLS. The MLS software (specifically rapatonni/supra ge key) can cause crashes on your phone.
For cygnusX1, yes i did multiple warm resets, no breaking from any loop. The only thing that worked was a hard reset, and the phone has been passed on to my son, who had a freebie AT&T phone, although he wished he had an Iphone, he is still really happy to have the Treo 750 which is miles ahead of his freebie phone.
Thanks for everyone's help.

Sync Windows Mobile Treo 750 with Vista 64 bit, FINALLY DID IT!

I have just spent 3 hours trying to set up sync between my Treo 750 and my new Vista 64-bit computer. Here's what I learned:
You have to download the Windows Mobile Device Center and its update (that's why some people felt they were downloading twice). Even after the second download, it still didn't work, so I was told to uninstall both, then I was directed to the following link, where it only had to download once -- http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/synchronize/device-center.mspx
Once I did that, I kept getting an error message that my device was not recognized, and the mobile device center
said the device was not connected (and the proposed solution on the computer was to replace the device). I tried the things that others have mentioned on this forum, but it still did not work. After talking with AT&T, they suggested I do a soft reset on the phone. That is what finally worked for me EXCEPT that each time my phone "timed out" (the display went blank), it would say it was not connected again. I finally kept touching the screen so the display would not go blank. Another option is to change the amount of time it will stay on before timing out, which I may do if this continues to be a problem when I sync in the future.
I hope this information helps someone else along the way. It has been quite a frustrating process, as are many other things when transitioning to a new computer.

ActiveSync won't detect my Treo 750

Help!!
I started with Windows Mobile 5 before with Activesync 4.2 and it worked just fine.
a year ago, I updated my palm with WM 6 and Activesync 4.5 and it worked just fine.
Recently, I have got new laptop from my company and try to re-install activesync.
During the process, I accidentally deleted the connection in my palm and everything is gone!!!
I tried to install activesync 4.5 in my new laptop and try to connect them, however, activesync won't detect my device. It did not even charge my mobile.
Curious enough, I tried to connect it with my other laptop at home (using Activesync 4.5) and it did not detect the device as well. Running out of idea, I removed Activesync in my home laptop and install Activesync 4.2. Try to connect and it worked!!! However, an error message came out saying that I need to have ActiveSync 4.5 to synchronize with WM 6.
I uninstall the ActiveSync 4.2 and install 4.5 in the laptop and try to synchronize again. But this time, same situation happens again where Activesync did not recognize my device!!!
What to do, I am running out of idea. Help me please...

I went through all the recommended steps I found online and spent 2 hours with palm support and 1 hour with Dell support and still was unable to connect my att palm treo 750 using activesync when I had successfully done so in the past. I am using a treo 750 with winmobile 5 ver and activesync 4.2 connecting to win XP pro. I would see the phone in my device manager but it would not connect. This is what I discovered that fixed my problem and not just on my Dell computer but another computer I have as well. I would go into the phone to Start/Settings/Connections Tab and found USB to PC and check the box to allow advanced connections. I would then remove the battery. unplug the USB cable and reinstall the battery. After phone boot up, plug usb in and attempt connection again and it would fail. Again open on the phone the Start/Settings/Connections Tab and found USB to PC and uncheck the box to allow advanced connections. If connection fails (it probably will) pull battery from phone and unplug USB. reinstall battery to reboot phone then plug the USB cable back in. My device would again connect.. This needs to be done every once in a while because of the buggy phone and/or activesync software. I hope this helps anyone and prevents them from wasting as much time as I have on keeping an otherwise good phone in sync with an xp computer. Peace and long live a free internet and quality software....

Problem with Activesync on treo 750/outlook

I've always had problems trying to sync via usb since I purchased my 750 12 months ago, although this time I'm unable to sync at all after 4 days of trying. the xp pro sp3 side seems ok (it tries to sync but cant) any ideas please Taffy
Post relates to: Treo 750 (Cingular)

Have you tried another USB port?
Another thing to try would be to uninstall ActiveSync, delete the Microsoft ActiveSync folder under program files then reinstall activesync and try to sync again. (Trying both with and without Advance networking checked.)

How to unlock my treo 750

Hi,
I bought a treo 750 from ebay an intended to use it with t-mobile. I calle AT&T and they gave me the unlock code but I didn't know that I had to press the power option button down before entering the unlock code. So after 5 trials the phone won't accept any code again and is now permanently locked to AT&T it seems. ANy ideas please. Will greatly appreciate.
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

Hi ngumba,
This is actually part of the security of the lock. After 5 incorrect attempts, the device will remain locked for a timeout period (I forgot how long it is but I believe it's a few hours). Just to be safe, wait 24 hours and try again.

Treo 750 - Internet Explorer - blank pages / not connecting

Hello everyone.
I have a Treo 750 and have a problem with Internet Explorer.
When I initially use it (First time after a soft reset) within 24 hours or so, it will stop showing web pages, It will just be blank. (In normal or full screen mode). I have tried both leaving it open (NOT shutting it down via the "Running Programs List") and shutting it down manually (via the "Running Programs List") when I'm done using it. Either way after about 12-24 hours, when I try to use it again, it would just show a blank page after showing that it is "Connecting", "Locating" and "Opening". The only thing that will remedy this is to perform a soft reset. (via the reset button by the memory card slot).
I just found out that Windows Mobile 6 was available so I d/l and installed it. I thought it had solved the problem but it didn't, it just prolonged the time to 24-36 hours and then does the same thing. (Shows it is "Connecting", "Locating" and "Opening" the page and then just shows a blank white page) Then as usual I must perform a soft reset to get it working again.
The only software that I have installed on it is AgendaOne version 1.x
That doesn't appear to be the problem though because I did a hard reset and didn't install AgendaOne and had the same results. (with WM5). Besides the fact that it was happening before I ever installed AgendaOne.
Has anyone else experienced this and found a resolution to it?
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

have you found a fix for this? I am having the same issue and I canot get any help. All I am getting do a reset and wait and then wait.
Any help will do!

Treo 750 losing sync with Exchange Server

Hi All,
I have an AT&T Treo 750 that I have been using as my business phone for going on 2 years. I have had this synced with my Exchange server for over 1 1/2 years. About 2 weeks ago I noticed that I was not receiving emails as regularly and noticed that it was not syncing automatically. I could go into the account (using the outlook email account) and do a manual send/receive but it would not do it automatically. I reluctantly broke down and did a hard reset and set the account back up and it stared working again for about a week and quit again. I ended up getting on an online chat session with Palm and tehy had me delete and reset up teh account. Again it worked for about 4 days and now has quit working again.
Any ideas? This is very frustrating as I am mobile a lot and need to get my emails quickly as they come in.
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

That could be the problem and I think you should try to archive some of your email. Our chat support covered just about everything with the device itself. While it could be the device still causing this I want to see if the server could be at fault. With EAS its hard to tell what could be causing the issue. Other possibility could be that it is an account corruption on the server side or the device OS or email program is corrupted and cannot be fixed with a hard reset.
Basically what we need to do is have you archive some of your email, if that does not resolve the issue then see if your IT can create a new email profile for you on the server and see if that resolves the problem. If they are unwilling to do that step or that does not work we need to try another device to see if you have the same issue. I would suggest that you try another 750 WM 6.0 to see if it is your treo or the server causing this.

Problem with syncing Treo 750

I just got an AT&T Treo 750 and am trying to set it up for syncing with my disktop computer running Windows XP Pro, SP3.
First, I am not an Outlook user, but figured out that I had to install that software to use ActiveSync. Second, I am not planning on using my 750 for email, and am only interested in syncing my Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks. It appeared that I did have to set up the 750 for email to get thngs started with ActiveSync, so I did that, too. Now when I attempt to sync I get this MS message:
Cannot syncronize with the Outlook profile you are using, because a different profile was previously set up or the profile is password-protected. Please open Outlook using the appropriate profile. Support Code: 8503001f
What do I need to do to get the 750 and my computer to sync?
Second question: Is there any other syncing software I can use other than Outlook?
Thanks - John
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. If the data is gone from your 750 and was never in outlook there is nothing I can do . But if you have your old device and are using Palm Desktop 4.1.4e we can get the data back to outlook so you can sync your data back to the 750.
Post back if you do not have Palm Desktop 4.1.4e
If you do great. All you need to do is go to Start-->Programs/All Programs-->Palm/Palmone-->PIM Conduit Sync--> Sync with Outlook. If it says you are already to sync with Outlook then good if not let it do its thing. After this what you need to do next is right click on the Hotsync Manager go to custom then click on Calendar and select change then select handheld overwrites desktop. Do the same for contacts, tasks, and memos.
Post back if you have more questions.

Palm treo 750 os required

i have a palm treo 750 unlocked
recently i updated it to windows mobile 6.5
and i am in problems with it
i want to reset it to wm6
pl send me the original os link

1. There was never an *official* WM 6.5 update for any Treos.
2. Have you tried a hard reset?
3. Are you sure its the OS, not an application?
4. I see disclaimers left and right on hacking-related apps, sites, etc.
5. Try the 750's Palm support page, maybe an update will help.
webosnation.com is another option for help.

Palm treo 750 will not pair with Motorola H500

I followed all directions and the Palm recognized it but refused the passkey (0000) which was in the instructions. Now it won't recognize the device at all. Help!
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

I have no other Bluetooth devices at all and nothing will pair with it and I followed the directions to the letter as have several other knowledgeable people, one being the AT&T tech in the store. You say the connection is locked to the last device paired. Is it possible that it's locked on the device even though the passkey didn't work? Can it be in some kind of limbo - recognized but not paired and the connection is locked? I don't know all the technology about that - but something happened when I tried to pair it the first time - it recognized it just fine and then rejected the passkey and it won't pair with anything, even a Palm earpiece. Of course, if that were the case, any of the 3 master resets I have performed should have cleared that huh? There are no devices listed and both devices are fully charged. The ebayer who sold me the phone is willing to let me return it so if you have any other ideas, please let me know. Thanks.

Treo 750 syncing w/ Windows Vista 32bit

I have a Treo 750 that I had synced with windows xp. Ever since I "upgraded" to windows vista I have not been able to sync. The computer won't even recognize the phone as connected. Here is what I have and what I have tried already. I have, as mentioned, the Treo 750 running windows mobile 5.0/ the laptop was running xp which I had no problems setting up and syncing. I now have window vista 32bit I guess since when I tried downloading WMDC 64bit it wouldn't support the download, so I have WMDC 32bit. When I downloaded WMDC the treo was connected through a usb cable. I have uninstalled and re-installed WMDC several times. Sometimes the device manager will not recognize the usb cable and sometimes it does. When it does recognize the cable it shows a bluetooth symbol and says everything is working properly but when I open up WMDC I am not connected, if I push the sync button nothing happens, if I unplug the usb cable and replug the device manager then will no longer recognize the usb cable. I have also tried everything on the support boards, help forums, you name it I have tried it except a hard reset which I don't want to do until I sync all my info first. Oh yeah the whole reason I am so desperate to sync my phone after such a long time is because my phone constantly freezes up as if I have to much going on which I don't. I have cleaned out every program not necessary so I have tons of memory, so that is not slowing down or freezing my phone. I basically have to soft reset my phone after I do or run 3-4 different applications including phone calls. ANYONE PLEASE HELP EITHER OF THESE TWO PROBLEMS BEFORE MY GIRLFRIEND DUMPS ME FOR SPENDING SO MUCH TIME ON THE COMPUTER TRYING TO FIGURE THIS STUPID THING OUT. THANKS DAVE
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

Yeah I have tried that already no luck. Here are some other things that I forgot to mention. I have another laptop that is running windows xp, this laptop has never been synced to anything. I downloaded Microsoft Activesync but it will not connect to that either. The difference with this computer is that when I plug it into the USB port it makes a sound and when I push the usb sync button it makes a beep followed by another beep. Lastly I have another Treo (my girlfriends) that when I first tried to sync to WMDC it did not connect but after running troubleshoots I got it to work on both computers. It is so frustrating.

Changed who a phone number was assigned to in contacts-Treo 750

I changed who was assigned to a specific phone number in my contact list. But whenever that phone number calls my phone the caller ID still comes up as the previous person. But in the call history list it reflects the new person. I have tried resetting my phone, syncing my phone, clearing my call history. Why does it do this and how can I get the caller ID to show the correct person?
Post relates to: Treo 750 (AT&T)

I deleted it from the old contact person and made a new contact with that phone number. I finally got it to work though right after I posted my original message. I deleted the call history from the other phone and then reset my phone again, for the 3rd time and it finally came up correctly. I don't know why it was doing that though.

Treo 750 Camera

I just recently got a Treo 750 with built in camera function. I have taken a few photos with it no problem...
I then installed Ringo, and sometime around then the camera function vanished. I can't click on the program in Start>Programs and bring up the camera function, instead it goes to Pictures and Videos. I tried getting to camera thru that, it doesn't even show up...I know it has it, but it just won't show up.
I tried a soft reset, didn't work so i tried a Hard reset it still doesn't work. Matter fact the icon in Start>Programs is even missing. Tried changing the side button from default media player to it, the option for camera isn't even there. It's almost like it doesn't even have the built in camera. Yet you can physically see it, plus I've used it and even had pictures saved on it (until hard reset) for it.
Is there any way to just reinstall the whole WM5? or should I just wait for WM6? Is the camera function in the phone OS or the PocketPS OS?
Any help would be appreciated.

I managed to chat with a tech. support rep on the Palm website. and they wrote up a service ticket for my handheld, they were suppose to contact me to arrange shipping but didn't. Awhile later, The Backlight stopped working so it requires a flashlight to see the screen. It's clear to me that the PalmTreo750 is a white elephant/Edsel = F**k Up I have given up on that piece of S**t.

Can't Delete Text Messages - Treo 750

I've had this issue before on a different unit, and AT&T's solution was to simply mail me a new phone after both a hard and soft reset didn't work. After I purged my Sent Messages folder, one still remains. In the folder the recipients name remains, but the message is blank. You can open it, there is no text and if you try to delete it the "Are you sure you want to delete" message appears and after clicking yes, nothing happens. Any ideas?

Using the Treo 750 with no SIM CARD

Please advise on how I can use the Treo 750 for everything except what I would need a sim card for. I am currently upgrading my smartphone, but would like to have my wife use the PDA functions and apps on the Treo without having to insert a sim card until she is comfortable with using the smartphone for everything else.
The features I would expect NOT to have is phone service, wireless data service - wireless exchange email and wireless internet access. Associated services that would be great to retain - Outlook Exchange Server synch/update via USB when tied to a PC that has internet connection.
Sort of like turning an iphone into an ipod touch.
When I boot the phone without a sim card, it basically says I cannot use it without a sim card. Would I need a "dummy" sim to make the thing more than a paperweight?
Please advise.

Hello!
Quickly hit the start menu button twice and that should go back to the today screen and use like a PDA. Due note that a restart and/or using cellular stuff could trigger the SIM card requirement again.

Treo 750, again another sob story, didn't back up my data!!!
