Third-party applications

Some third-party applications may cause conflicts with your phone.
Third-party applications that modify the wireless features of your phone
may require extra troubleshooting. Use caution when installing the
following:

Ringtone managers

Caller ID applications

Instant messaging

Applications that modify when your phone or data connections turn on or
off and how your phone behaves

If you recently installed an application and your phone seems to be stuck, try
the following in sequence until the problem is resolved:

1

Restart your phone (see

Restart your phone

).

2

Make sure your third-party applications are up-to-date (see

Manually

check for system updates

).

3

See if a system update is available (see

Manually check for system

updates

).

4

Delete the most recently installed application, or the application you
think could be causing the problem, from your phone (see

Delete an

application

).

5

Perform a backup (see

Back up your information

).

6

Perform a partial erase (see

Erase data and reset your phone

).

7

Enter your Palm profile email address and password to restore your
backed-up information.

8

If the problem is resolved, begin reinstalling your third-party
applications one at a time. Open each application after you reinstall it
to see if the problem recurs.

9

If the problem recurs, delete the last application you installed and
report the problem to its developer.
