Palm Posts Audio Fix for AT&T

[mccune]

Just a quote:

The update is designed to address a long-standing complaint some users have had where system resources become occupied with too many simultaneous tasks and certain audio alerts and notifcations are muted.


Palm also states that a residual effect of the bug is that the camera/camcorder function of the 750 can also cease to function.

The .cab file is a ~60k download and can be found on Palm's support site (http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-645730-10468054?url=http://www.palm.com/us/support/downloads/audio_alert_update.html#install). Please note that a miniSD (http://software.palminfocenter.com/homeAccessories.asp?hCategory=1008&hSubcategory=320) formatted in the FAT32 file system is required for loading the update. The update is also only for AT&T and Cingular-branded version of the 750, so this update is not applicable to European 750 or 750v Treos.

It was said that the Treo 750 (the unlocked version) doesn't need this update. But it suffers from nearly similar problem - when the battery level reaches 20% or little less, the audio system is muted.
I asked the Palm support for an update for unlocked Treo. It is not available. But he said that their engineering works on solving this and other problems and there will be an upgrade very soon (but no dates - Palm, you know...)...

It does sounds odd to me to release this patch if the WM6 release is to be release soon... does that mean that we might have to wait longer for the WM6 release???

No, but there ARE people which don't want to update to WM6. I can't wait to get WM6 though ;-)

I can't wait for WM6 also, this is the only reason I didn't switch my 750v with a Trinity yet.

Concerning this patch, I hardly believe that at this level of development there are many differences. But Palm must have had his reasons not to create a general patch :rolleyes:

I'd rather have a fix for the SD card problems. Sure be nice to utilize my 2gb memory card. :)
