tips: bypass keyguard

When you set-up the keyguard on your treo 650, it will lock your phone after it goes to sleep - depend on the setting on the preference - to avoid any accidental keyboard pressed.

but when you wake the phone up, the lock still active, and you need to press the center of the d-pad to activate it.

so it need two step for the treo to be function normal, first waking it up by pressing the red phone button, then pressing the central button of d-pad.

btw, there's a shortcut for it, so you only need one step to wake your treo up.
it's done by pressing the alt button (the blue button) with the red phone button.
your treo 650 will instantly active.

things should be available in treo650

there are some small features, that i believe should exist in treo 650.

1. a default contact button.
   a lack of default contact button, requiring you to goto main application then tap on contacts. but to overcome that, we can create a shortcut;
   1. go to preference on main application,
      
   2. then select button, then you can assign option + [some button] for contacts
   
   
2. direct delete for SIM phonebook from contact.
   you need go to to SIM book to do the delete action
3. middle name field in contact.
   if you're using Microsoft Outlook, then you filled in middle name field in there, after syncronizing, you fill find the middle name is missing from treo 650 contacts.
4. filter syncronize
   on palm OS 4. it need HotSync to syncronize, the latest HotSync is capable to only syncronize filtered data, no need all.
   

entering time for calendar in a quick way

when you want to add a calendar item, and then want to enter the time -- while you're not using stylus -- you need to scroll down of the exact hour and minute. And you have to do it twice!, for start time and end time.

it so not practical to scroll down and up. if you are in a hurry, you can mistakenly select the wrong time.

here are some fast tips to enter the time in calendar. press the number on your keyboard! :)

let say you have an apointment at 7.15 PM, you just pressed 1, 9, 5, that's it! fast and quick.

then press down on the D-pad for end time and enter the number of the hour you want to.

displaying alert window on treo 650 without stylus

when other treo application is active while an alert of calendar or task poped up, then the alert can be indicated by blinking asterisk icon on the left top corner of the screen.

for normal use of treo it is not needed of a stylus to touch the screen for activity.
first, i thought, i cannot displaying my alert window without touching the asterisk icon. somehow when i'm not in the mood to take off the stylus, i just using my finger to touch it.

later i found out that, it just need a 2 seconds pressing on the dpad center button on the treo 650 to display the alert window.

so for now, no need to hustle and bustle touching the icon of left top corner.
