TREO 650 turns itself on, freezes for a few seconds

Archived from groups: comp.sys.palmtops.pilot (More info?)

While my my TREO 650 is turned off, it will sometimes:
- beep
- turn itself on
- freeze for about 20 seconds
- unfreeze itself
- remain turned on

At that time the TREO becomes usable - I can either turn it off (I
didn't turn it on) or I can use it.

This happens sporadically. A week can go by without this happening and
sometimes it will do it every few minutes during a 15 minute period.

It seems that it is related to the SD card because when I remove the
card while it is frozen, it frees up and I can use the 650 without a
problem. When I put the card in, it may or may not freeze up again.

I tried doing a soft restart and I have tried a hard restart with
reinstalling my applications; that didn't help. I also updated the 650
with the latest Palm software upgrade and that also didn't help.

Besides being inconvenient, I have lost phone calls that came in during
the time it is frozen.

I wonder if anyone has experienced this problem and can advice if the
problem is with my 650, with the SD card, it is a 'feature' of the 650
or the source is some other problem?

Thank you for your help.

It is disabled and off.

I tried putting in a different card and it still will turn itself on
and freeze for a while. When there is no card in the 650 it seems to be
OK. I think I will bring the 650 in to Sprint to replace. I am not
excited about getting a reconditioned unit. Any experience with
reconditioned units? Are they more prone to problems or lower quality?
