I hear static or interference

Check the signal strength indicator in the title bar of the Main View in the Phone Application. If the signal is weak (few bars are displayed), try the suggestions about signal strength described in Signal strength is weak.

If you’re using a Bluetooth hands-free device, try the following:

•Move your smartphone closer to the hands-freedevice. Audio quality degrades as the distance between your smartphone and hands-free device increases. The effective range for a device varies between manufacturers.

•Confirm that no obstructions, including your body, are between the smartphone and your hands-free device.

My smartphone hangs up when I hold it to my ear

You may be accidentally pressing the onscreen Hang Up All button with your cheek. Try holding the smartphone so that your face doesn’t press against the screen. If this is not convenient, you may want to disable the screen’s touch-sensitive feature during active calls (see Locking your screen).

My phone seems to turn off by itself

If a system error and reset occur, the Treo smartphone automatically turns the phone on if it was on before the reset. However, if the smartphone can’t determine if your phone was on before the reset, the phone does not automatically turn on (see Turning your phone on and off). If the problem persists and you’re using third-party applications, see Third-party applications for additional suggestions.

Tip

For best performance, keep your Bluetooth headset and phone on the same side of your body.
