How do I reset this phone?

To hard reset the Palm Treo 750 from Cingular follow the easy instructions below. Remember, doing a hard reset will erase all data and programs in memory. It is a good idea to hard reset a device before you sell it.

This is one of the easiest resets around.

1. Press the End Button (Red Button) and press the soft reset button under the flap on the right side that houses the Mini-SD card at the same time. You have to hold it for a brief moment.

2. When the “Erase all data” screen comes up, release the button and the soft reset and push the Dpad up for Yes.

3. That’s it, the device will reboot and all you data is sent to the bit bucket.

To soft reset a Cingular Palm Treo 750, just hold in the soft reset button only.

Unlike the Treo 650, the Treo 680 does not have a reset button under the battery cover. Instead, you will be removing the battery to reset. Read below for details. There are several methods found online, this one seems to be the most “Official”. I will say that it sounds somewhat silly to have to remove the battery to perform this.

HotSync note: Some third-party applications change the way your device backs up data. Other third-party applications do not back up data. If you have third-party software on your device, please contact the developer to learn what components are backed up during a HotSync operation, and if HotSync conduits are altered. Any data not backed up will be lost.

1. Hold down the power (on/off) button on your device.
2. While holding down the power button, turn your smartphone over to see the battery cover.
3. While still holding the power button, remove the battery cover, and fully remove the battery from the device.
4. While still holding the power button, re-insert the battery, and replace the cover.
5. When the Palm logo appears, release the power button.
6. A message will appear warning that you are about to erase all the data stored on your device. Press UP to complete the hard reset, erasing everything on your device.
7. Your device will then take you through a series of screens to calibrate the digitizer and verify the time and date. Then it will walk you through a brief guided tour of device features and functions.
