The Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for the Treo 800w continues to be a work in progress. The goal is to have links in the below to other threads and tech articles. By having these linked, instead of pasting the text, the threads will remain live. The live threads can continue to be updated and/or modified for things such as part numbers, adding on additional insight or after a period of time, some follow up information.

These FAQs have been put together by forum members. They have put extensive time and research into them. So when you find yourself using them, it would not be a bad thing to send off a thank you.

Again, these will continue to be updated and we will continue to add new ones as we move forward. If you have an idea for a new FAQ, or would like to take ownership of pulling one together, then don't be shy about it, you'll be helping everyone.

If you have any suggestions on the FAQ, something to add, change, or an idea, please feel free to PM me.

(Note: all previously stickied threads are now linked here!)

How to troubleshoot device problems


I'm finding certain ones still don't know about doing a Full System Backup every so often.

'Hey! my Treo is all of a sudden doing something weird, how do I fix it?'
