Geoff,
One issue I have is that, if I have a Datebk5 alarm that has gone off, but is unaddressed (just sitting on the screen) and a phone call comes in, AND I use the volume buttons to silence the ring, the Phone Call screen remains and the phone freezes up. If I use the on screen "Answer" or "Ignore" option, both features work fine.
I tried working around this by assigning the volume buttons to "Answer" or "Ignore" in TreoGuard. If I "Ignore" with a volume button, the call goes directely to voice mail and the Phone Call screen disappears. I am then able to address the Datebk5 alarm and go on without a problem. The problem occurs if I use the volume button to "Ignore" a call, it goes to voicemail, but I don't address the alarm and the screen auto powers off. I am then unable to turn the device on at all and need to soft reset. This is occuring regularly because I want to dismiss calls when I'm with patients and using the side volume buttons is the easiest and least distracting way to do this. I'm confused as to why the on screen "Answer" or "Ignore" work, but assigning the same feature to the side buttons causes a freeze of the handheld. It's almost as if any use of the side buttons during an incoming call, if a Datebk5 alarm is on screen, causes a freeze of the 650.
I have emailed the author of Datebk5 and have received some feedback on this. I'm awaiting feedback regarding the specific problem with the volume buttons. Can you offer any thoughts on why reassigning the buttons in TreoGuard to "Answer" or "Ignore" doesn't fix the issue, but using the on screen "Answer" or "Ignore" eliminates it? Is the TreoGuard feature causing them to identically mimic the system commands or is there something different about using them than tapping the on screen buttons? Any feedback would be appreciated.
