Help please

Please help! My T3 is turning on by itself-- happened only today. The only new program I installed was FunSMS, and I've erased it, but still the T3 turns on by itself! No alarms are turning on either. Please help! This is draining my battery fast!

If you cant fix the problem then go ahead a do a hard reset which will wipe off everything in the RAM. To do a hard reset you push and hold the on/off button. At the same time push the reset button and wait until the display is switched on again. Let go of all buttons and follow the information on the display. Only do a hard reset though if you really have to because you will loose all your info. I hope you fix your problem so you don't have to do one. Happy new year!

I agree with ClieKid, but you didn't state where your T3 is, when this is happening?

Same problem for me.
The problem seems to come from the file 'ContactsBDIndex-PAdd.pdb'... try to delete it with filez or something, it works for me.
... but the file come back with every hotsynch, and I can't find where the backup is...

Any idee ?

Somebody over at brighthand discovered that using the birthday field with alarms causes the problem. Turn off the reminder and the problem seems to go away. HTH

As an update to this problem, having DigiE in RAM will also do this. Happened to me last night. My T3 was turning itself on every 30 seconds. Found the DigiE solution on another board this morning.

This problem has been known to PalmOne for a while now and they still don't seem to care. Maybe if we hold our breath we'll see a fix released.

After I sold my IIIc and bought the T3, I started checking the discussion boards to see what issues users were having. You know, they were pretty much exactly the same ones users were having with the III series.
Using that as a track record, and having gotten a couple of totally worthless responses from Palm support, I'd say you hit the nail squarely!

I was hoping someone would tell me it would all be ok. Now I'm going to need therapy. Actually, I've gotten around the problem by giving up on the default PIM and using KeySuite.
