My Treo’s Quiet. Too Quiet.
There’s a patch out for the Treo 750.
No…it’s not that kind of patch.
It’s also NOT the Windows Mobile 6 update we’re all waiting for.
This patch is an audio driver update to resolve an error condition where the Treo can go completely and utterly silent.
I personally haven’t seen this issue, but I’m also not going crazy rocking the audio features on mine.
A few things to note on this one:
- Not a data wiping patch, but always a good idea to sync/backup your device data anyhow
- Hard resetting your 750 will require you to reload this patch
- Gotta load this patch from a memory card
BTW: Here’s a quibble. Why is the 750 called a Smartphone on Palm’s website? It’s technically a Pocket PC, when applying the simple test I outlined in my previous post.

“Smartphone” is a non-regulated term that the mighty MS made a futile attempt for a while to standardize the meaning of. They have now adopted the nomenclature of either WM Professional-Touchscreen (Formerly Pocket PC Edition) or WM Standard-Non Touchscreen (Formerly Smartphone Edition).
You are starting to see all kinds of variations being marketing such as “Smart-Device” etc.
