I hear static or interference

Check the Signal Strength

icon 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

Move your smartphone closer to the
hands-free device. 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.

My smartphone makes or answers calls
when it’s in a bag or pocket

Items in your bag or pocket may be
pressing the onscreen Answer button or
otherwise activating screen items. If this
happens, be sure to press Power/End

to turn off the screen before placing

your smartphone in a bag or pocket. You
may also want to disable the screen’s

TIP

For best performance, keep your

Bluetooth headset and phone on the same
side of your body.
