Frozen Treo 300

[NoClones]

Well, I mentioned a few days ago about my treo freezing when I open the cover and it being stuck on "Please Wait", but after closing it and opening it a few times it'd fix itself. Well, just now I was browsing the web and it froze on me for a second, then started downloading the page again. A few seconds later it froze again, now it won't do anything at all. It's just stuck saying "Receiving" and won't do anything at all... What should I do ? Time to call lockline ?

Reset it? If it happens again I'd try lockline. But be careful with lockine, two claims within 12 mos and ur cancelled.

[NoClones]

Yeah, I keep having to reset it... I haven't made any claims yet.

Find out if you are under warranty. Even if you arent, dont waste calling lockline, go to the store first. Lockline is a last resort. Most people that call lockline and waste 35 dollars could just walk into the store, talk to a rep or a tech and walk out with a new phone and have one shipped at no cost at all to you.

[NoClones]

The only problem is that the store closest to me has one ass of a Assistant Manager that IS ALWAYS there. I've been before to have my LG 5350 looked at and they refused, then went to exchange a brand new phone that was giving me errors, and had problem doing that. I'd much rather spend the 35 dollars to save myself the aggervation.

[WES2004]

Yeah, I have that problem with the store that I go to

[NoClones]

I'll call and ask what they'll send me. If it's another 300, I'll save my claim and just go buy it.

I thot it was normal for a Treo 300 to freeze all the time. Its annoying, but I just deal with it. It sounds like I could try the warranty route though.

[NoClones]

Well, I haven't done anything (claim wise) about my Treo. It still continues to freeze and the only way to fix it is to push the reset button. It freezes when I open the flip, when I'm dialing numbers, when I'm using vision. Pretty much everything, it will be working fine for one minute then *BAM* it freezes.

[NoClones]

New Thing now, I'm getting "Fatal Exception" notices... LoL

I tried taking my phone in for the fatal exception error crud, but they couldn't duplicate it so no help from Sprint. I guess I gotta wait til I lock it up and bring it in again.

[NoClones]

I'm getting really annoyed with it. A few more times with these errors and lockline will hear from me :D

Well I called Lockline and they have a new replacement policy I found out. If you signed up for Lockline before they switched over to the new deductible you will not be transitioned into the new plan until January 1st. This means I am inelidgible for the $10 warranty replacement, but I can still use the $35 deductible instead of the $50 one. Now I have to go to the Sprint store again and try to get them to see my phone is messing up and to get lockline from cancelling me.

[NoClones]

Yep, it's not 50 for customers till Jan if you signed up before they changed...I'm getting ready to call and and see what kinda replacement I'm going to get.

[NoClones]

Just made a claim... She said she placed the order for a treo 300. She said it would be NEW... What I don't understand is how, if that is what I get, will it be new ? They don't make the Treo 300 anymore do they ? (I know that Sprint stopped selling it)

[Brooose]

I got a brand new Treo 300 kit as a replacement for an old Samsung I300, FWIW.

[NoClones]

When was that ?

[Brooose]

About a week ago....

[NoClones]

Maybe they ran out ! LoL *Crosses Fingers*

[Brooose]

Maybe. There were reports of people getting 600's for 300's. I wonder if PalmOne shipped Sprint the last lot of 300's so they could clear out their warehouses.

[NoClones]

Who knows, I don't think any of us could comprehend (sp) how these companies work/think. :D

[NoClones]

If I get a new treo 300 I'll either sell it or send it back and just go buy a 600, or wait for the 650.

I got a new treo 300 from the Sprint store finally. I brought it in again and it failed diagnostic. They tried to order me a Samsung I330 because sprint doesn't show any available Treo 300's now. I argued and thought I might end up with a treo 600. The guy went in the back and found another treo 300 that someone didn't pick up. Oh well maybe this one will last another 6 months.
