Device won't power on?

[jproudfo]

I'm having a problem with my Treo 700w... Sometimes my power button stops working and I am unable to turn the device on. The device still has a wireless signal (flashing green light), but I can't get it to wake up. The only thing that seems to fix the problem is a soft reset.

This has happened to me almost every day this week.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I found some other people with a similar problem:

I also called Verizon and opened a support call with them. They've had me hard reset the device and want me to call back if the problem reoccurs. :roll: I didn't have any 3rd party apps installed, though, so I doubt this will make a difference.

Your fix is here.. Mine hasn't done it since I did this:

Hope that helps!

I use automatic OTA syncing with Exchange, though. Unfortunately, that "fix" is going disable automatic syncing and require manual syncing all the time.

That almost defeats the purpose of having this device, doesn't it? :?
