Auto-off not working

Turn off your headlights.

could have bad battery ground cable or have starter solenoid and starter checked out at any auto parts stores.

Check all your fuses. You may have a short somewhere or the car may have been in a flood. Water damage??

funny thing... the older palm treos like this one have some glitches. these glitches can normally be fixed by changing some of the settings.

1) go to your home screen, and select PREFS
2)select power
3) set your brightness level all the way to the right (NOTE: it takes more power to dim the screen then it does to brighten the screen.)
4) set auto off after: to the highest number allowed

please let me know if this helps!

Try look at the setting by pressing the House (right key)
Choose Prefs, select Power --> check time of Auto-off Receive --> set to maximum time
Try and see if this works

Here;s the simple walkthrough to get to your Network preferences:

Turn on your Treo 650.
Press the "home" key (looks like a little house on the left of the directional pad).
Navigate to "Prefs" in the main screen.
In "Preferences", the Network preferences are under "Communication".
Since you're using T-Mobile, you'll see "T-Mobile Internet", "T-Mobile VPN", and "T-Zones" if you click on "Service". Make sure your handheld isn't locked though (you'll see the padlock closed).

In the Main screen you will also see Bluetooth. Access this and turn off your bluetooth radio.

One more thing...make sure you're using the latest firmware from Palm. There are features and capabilities that are necessary for your phone.

Go here: http://www.palm.com/us/support/

Download and install the T-Mobile or Unlocked (which ever applies to your phone) firmware and follow the instructions completely.

Good luck.

I had the same problem. My issue was with all my lenses. I solved it by going to the menu and selecting the custom setting menu (pencil icon). Then from the right menu select the AE-L/AF-L and press OK. Then make sure it is set on AE/AF Lock. Presto...all my lenses worked on auto-focus.

The 650 seems to have a delicate headphone/mic jack. Dropping the phone, even gently, seems mess up that jack. I returned my first treo 650 as defective, and got a new one. The same thing happened to my new 650 after I simply compressed the phone in my breast coat pocket by holding my mail against my chest.

I can't get a new one because the replacement treo comes with no warranty of any kind. :(

My advice would be to find a PDA/phone repair service to repair the jack or diagnose the problem if it turns out not to be the jack.
