strange crash

last week, i had a strange experience. my treo650 crashed. then while it reset, it was reseting twice.

for a moment i'm affraid that it'll go for infinitive loop, thankfully not. but when it finishes restarting, the screen is back to default, no wallpaper on the pone screen, just plain blueish gradation.

hey what's wrong? i checked another application in the treo650, it's all there. but, when i open the application, it goes back to default preference. like a new fresh installed ;( ..argh!

so i try to re-setting every applications in my treo. then when i try browsing using web/blazer it crashed! hua!

i try several times, sometimes it works normally, but most of the time it crashes on blazer. *sigh.

finally. i fed up. then i hard-reset my treo650.
to hard reset treo 650 is almost the same as soft reset. which is stick your stylus into the hole near the battery.
after you see progressing bar, press the red phone button. then when you see palm logo, wait for 2 seconds, then release the red phone button.
then it'll prompt you wheter you want to erase the data or not. press up on d-pad for yes as the answer.
then your treo will be formatted.

broken d-pad

i accidently dropped my treo to the floor, and then the d-pad is fell off. then i try tu put the d-pad back in. and turn out that i put it wrong, the upper side is should be the lower side.

wrong positioned d-pad cause the button hard to pressed. its kinda un-responsive.
at first it frustated me, because d-pad is the major button on treo. if it failed to response than you have to use stylus to do the work.

i try to re-plugged the d-pad, but it seem already glued back to it's container. then i look for needle. i push the needle betwen d-pad and treo body opening. then i try to levered out the d-pad, at first it seem not working, but on the second try it worked!

then i rotate the d-pad, put it back in. then d-pad function as normal

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.
