Official 750v/750 Bug List - Page 5

trjons · 08/12/2007, 09:07 PM

Not sure if this is a bug or just a problem i have due to third party software but it seems sometimes an incoming SMS, email or alarm does not come because my 750 is 'off' and only when i power it up does the alarm, sms, email notification arrive.

Here is my bug - hopefully someone can help...

I have a Ricoh Fax 4420 at work. This fax forwards to a group distribution as tif or pdf files any faxes that come in. I had a Sprint Treo 650 that could open the attachments with no problem. My company just switched to ATT and I got the Treo 750 and my partner got the Blackberry Curve. The Blackberry has no problems opening the fax forwarded attachments. HOWEVER, my Treo 750 can not!

I have called ATT - Microsoft and Ricoh and no one knows the answer.
ATT and Microsoft blame Ricoh and Ricoh blames the others. Ricoh says it is most likely a javascript error with windows mobile 5.

I can receive tif and pdf files from others and open them with no problem. I have sent an email from my partners Blackberry with the fax attachment and I can not open it on my Treo 750. However, if I save the file to my desktop and email it then I CAN open it.

The difference I have noticed is that when I receive the emails from the Ricoh fax quotation marks are added to attachment. So when I get an email instead of FAX1111.pdf it comes in as "FAX111.pdf" and the file is converted from .pdf to .pdf". The quotation mark at the end makes it an invalid file type. I can not open it or save it to my treo. The exact same thing happens if I change the setting on the Ricoh to send as TIF files the " is added at the end so TIF" is not recognized. When I do a Save As the file type can not be saved and it is grayed out so I can not manually remove the (") from the file type.

On a big file that was downloading I noticed that it was fine as it was being downloaded. I could see the file name and pdf icon exactly as it should be THEN at the last second it added the (") and the pdf icon disappeared and it became an invalid file type. Whatever happened at the very end could be the problem.

Anyone here with a solution?

I have the exact same problem using AT&T Wireless with several different smartphones - no problem opening emailed .pdf files from desktop but phone will not open or let me save -did you ever find a solution?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

No clue. I have no issues opening emailed pdf files. Looks like his issue had to do with it being saved with an invalid extension.

If that's what's happening to you, then you might try using a third party software like Resco FileExplorer. It's more powerfull than the default explorer and lets you manipulate files more like the Windows PC based File Explorer.

Thanks for Reply - I have no issues opening .pdf files from any other place other than my Ricoh scanner which sends the file in quotation marks "xxxxx.pdf"- which leads to the likely source of the problem but Ricoh says it is not them. Regarding Resco - I tried but could not figure out how to associate the file to my .pdf reader - I guess that I would have to associate the file extention .pdf" with my .pdf reader.....right?

fastlerner · 04/09/2008, 06:14 PM

That would probably do it. Or use something that will let you edit the extension. Either way, a decent file explorer should let you modify associations as well as edit extensions. If I remember right, I think Resco does both. I'm sure there are others that do as well.

could you also add the loss of programs and settings in start menu... the only one that can be seen is today... it's bugging me since the only solution is a hard reset...

btw... only happening on wm6

I get this on my Treo 750 with WM6 TREO750-2.27-RWE

I find pressing the left soft key (the key above the green make call key) makes the screen light up and avoids the need to reset.

Anyone else have experience with this?

The connection never closes unless you lose signal or manually close it.

As far as I know it doesn't use any extra battery power keeping the connection open, or use any of your data allowance.

hannibal1209b · 06/30/2008, 08:09 PM

I was having a problem with data connections reestablishing after losing signal. Since they upgraded my area to UMTS, I don't get the "Answering Modem has disconnected...." message. Now if I try to access a webpage, it will quickly flash "loading", then it will just say 0k and I get blank pages. The only solution is to power cycle the phone. Very annoying.

Usually when I see this, it's only with the medianet homepage (AT&T). If I go to google or somewhere else it seems to be fine.

berdinkerdickle · 09/03/2008, 08:37 PM

Just wanted to mention that the bug where you select a contact to call and it sometimes calls someone else is also present in 6.1

I know 6.1 isn't official, but the bug was with 5, it remained in 6.0, and is also in 6.1. which makes it seem that the bug comes from palm's customization.

Jason Currey · 03/10/2009, 06:45 AM

So can anyone tell me how to fix the BMW Bluetooth issue ? The car seems to recognise the palm but the password times out !

txsippian · 03/31/2009, 02:45 PM

The path of history: gone from Sharp Wizard 32k every adaptation and version thereafter, to Palm PDA's, to Treo 600/650(more than 12 units for one reason or another) to HTC Tilt, and now to a Treo 750 because I foolishly allowed my former employer to purchase the unit. Gave ALL of the units and equipment away for charity and ironically had to start all over after losing my job.

Oh well. Really didn't love the HTC handling aspect, but it was a powerful tool. Kind of glad to have the Treo in hand, but I've got to get these kinks solved and behind me.
How can I tell which version 750 this is?
This unit is not recognizing my Storage Card. The 2g card is "NOT ENABLED". Any suggestions?

My concern would be whenyou dialled to call somebody and you keyed your number incorrectly, once you send an sms to that number on your contacts, it sends thru the invalid number you just dialled ealier. The problem resolves itself within 24hrs. though this is frustrating during a busy day. any resolutions?
