Subsidized Palm Pre 2 and future web OS phones

I am currently a verizon cutomer using the motorola droid. My contract is almost up, and while the droid has held up well over the last 1.5 years I have been very interested in switching to a web OS device. The only reason I chose the droid over the palm pre was my perception that the original pre did not match up to competing hardware at the time. I am satisfied with the pre 2 specs but I'm unsure if a subsidized version will be introduced on various carriers. The website claims it will be coming to verizon but online news seems very sparse. I'd even be more hyped-up about new cutting-edge smartphone hardware running web os. I am not interested in any tablet computers and I get the feeling that hp is more interested in the tablet market than the smartphone market. I'm not interested in win phone 7 or iphone. Android is my main consideration. There is room for web OS in the smartphone market, just give the people what they've been wanting from day 1: state of the art hardware! Is it coming or not? I hope HP can be open about it's intentions so I will know whether or not to wait for web OS or continue on with android, because it is likely I will be locked under contract for another 2 yrs once the decision has been made.

That is just another small let down. It has potential but their trying to find the worth of some of the basic features of the phone its Almost a stripped down phone. Possibly scared to take their place in the good phone category.
The phone is starved like most elements of the economy right now. Literally small key features would boast hundreds of thousands of sales. But each day I'm tormented at the fact that basic essential call protocol in the missed call and call logs truly doesn't operate correctly. Not as a preference or software but an actual defect in software development. Even not launching profiles from the user profiles is consistently disappointing. The phone literally looks like someone stripped all advanced features and standard essentials from the phone and wanted to see how well it sold on small niche additions.

Is it safe to charge my iPhone 4S with my Palm Pre and HTC charger?

Recently, I've lost the white charger that came with my iPhone 4S, but I still have the USB cable that originally came with it and I was wondering if it's safe to use the USB charger that came with my pervious Palm Pre and HTC EVO. The phone charges when I use these. But I'm not sure if it's safe to use these to charge my iPhone

It is fine.

Palm Pre and backwards Palm app compatibility? 64 bit OS - Vista or XP Pro -- compatibility -- ?

I am brand new to the board, so please bear with me if these questions have already been addressed elsewhere.
The announcement of the Palm Pre might have just retained me as a Palm loyalist. I was starting to look at BlackBerries, etc. for my next phone upgrade. And then along comes the Pre.....which looks to be a Very Good Thing. However, I have a couple of questions:
1. Will the Palm Pre be compatible with the apps that I currently have loaded onto my Palm TX? Will a simple transfer of apps / data from the TX to the Pre be possible?
2. Will I be able to sync the Pre with my Vista 64 bit laptop, or with my XP Pro 64 bit desktop? Or does the Pre still lack 64 bit compatibility? (Man, I hope that it will "do" 64 bit........)
To anyone who knows -- thanks.
Post relates to: Palm TX

Thank you for the responses in both cases, smkranz. It's greatly appreciated.
Yes -- my Palm TX has served me well for a few years. It's still functioning quite nicely. However, I'd hate to have to manually re-enter all of the data that's stored in it into another device. Plus I wouldn't want to give up several of the apps that I have installed on that device.
IMO, in many ways the TX 'anticipated' the Pre -- rotating screen (albeit manually set), and a list of other features. Heh -- but these days, if a device is six months old -- then it's yesterday's news. ;-) The TX is a circa 2005 era device, IIRC. So it's an ancient historical relic in today's world. But I still like it. A lot. Few electronic devices that I've ever had the pleasure of owning have been as useful to me as the TX has. That's why I hated the idea of switching brands......but I didn't see much choice, until now. The Pre looks to be a real shot in the arm for Palm. And for my continuing to use Palm's devices into the future. The BlackBerry Strom was a real disappointment. And I don't like iPhones. But I don't think that the Pre is going to disappoint. If the device lives up to its promise: then I think that we'll have a top-notch winner on our hands. A great replacement for my venerable TX.
Heh -- the first thing that I loved about the TX was the ability to download & read ebooks while traveling. One TX in the pocket is a lot easier to carry around than a suitcase full of hardback novels. The Pre looks to take that 'convenience factor' to a whole 'nother level..........
Now......if only I can get the legacy Palm OS apps to work with it, and it syncs up with my 64 bit PC's: then everything will be right with the world.........
Thanks again for the help.

Site too small on New Palm Pre and Blackberry Pearl

I have a site that is pretty simple. It contains no tables accept for forms and input buttons. And isn't overloaded with CSS. It was orginally designed for keypad devices and has a width of 176px. Everything is spaced by either <p> or <br> tags with no use of <div> tags. The site loos fine on most phones except for the Pre and Pearl. It shows up on the screen probably is no bigger than a 1/8" high in the upper left corner.
Does anybody know what the problem is?
Thank you, Brian

Palm Pre and Garmin Nuvi 765T

I have a Garmin Nuvi 765T and am trying to pair the pre with it. However, the Garmin can see the pre but connection fails. The garmin attempts, I guess, to use the passkey 1234 but the 2 never connects. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I also have a Pre and as you mentioned, the Garmin sees the Pre but cannot pair (the pre never asks for pascode (1234) input. It worked flawlessly on my Samsung Instinct. The address book was transfered nicely!
Interestingly, I started with a 265WT and it synced with the Pre w/o problems.

HT4623 I have a message on my ipad 2 which is stuck on the face of it stating regarding icloud backup. I missed the IOS update on my palm pre and I trying hard to get everything to work again. any suggestions?

my ipad 2 is stuck with an icloud back up message stating that it hasn't been backed up lately. Nothing I do will make it close or go away. Hotmail is y email account on my phone and icloud runs somehow through hotmail and since I missed the easy EOS update before the 26th of July I'm in trouble. Any suggestions?

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo reappears, release both buttons and await restart.

Getting iCal and Address Book onto Palm Pre (if you use Missing Sync)

If you use Missing Sync to sync your address book/iCal to your Palm, it looks like you will have to setup a Gmail account and a Google calendar. You can then export your iCal calendars to a folder and import them into your Google calendar from the web. Download a free trial of Spanning Sync to sync your contacts (only!!) to your Google contacts and then your Palm Pre should be able to subscribe to your Google calendar and your google contacts (Which should be identical to your iCal). The only question from here is how any new contacts or appointments on your computer will sync to the Pre. Maybe Missing Sync will come out with something.
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

I'm running Missing Sync 1.0.2 for Palm Pre and WebOS 1.4. It seems to work but it is really slow - takes 11 minutes to sync my contacts and calendars over a fast wifi connection. I have about 1000 contacts and a complex calendar, but i'm only syncing 2 months past and future.
i opened a ticket about this, we'll see what happens.
Does anyone have any experience with the speed of Missing Sync over wifi prior to webOS 1.4? This is a new device, i updated it to 1.4 immediately before installing Missing Sync.

Various error messages when trying to sync my Palm Pre with my OWA

I have read several of the postings and I believe I have tried everything. The odd thing is that it worked prior to me being married. When I brought the phone I just entered my work email address and password and it worked instantly. Then at the end of June I got married and changed my name. When I change my name with my company they gave me a new email address. And a alert popped up on my phone stating that I needed to change my info. So I put in my new email and the same password and it states that it can't validate the account information. So I tap to set it up manually. I put in my new username, the domain, the OWA web address, and the same password. And then I get the SSL Certificate Error: check the date and time. After discussing with our IT guys, I try all the various emails I have in the system (4 total: 2 due to a change in the company name last year and two due to my name change). I get the same SSL Certificate Error. Then I download the certificate from my computer to my palm pre and took the "s" off of the https:// as one of the posting suggested. and now I am getting "unable to validate account settings. Please check the settings and try again" message. I tried all the different email addresses again just in case it was an issue of my email address not matching the domain name, but I still get the same "unable to validate" message. I'm at a lost because it really shouldn't be an issue of the cert, because it worked perfectly fine before I got married and change my name. So I can only assume that it's an issue with my email address, domain, and username. But I've tried all of them and nothing works. And suggestions would be helpful.

I seemed to have figured it out...... I hard reset my Iphone and rebooted my computer and it seemed to work. It also seemed there was a music file that was not being recognized, I just erased it and everything worked fine after that.... very strange but I am so glad I figured it out.....

I have a Palm Pre in Italy.

I know this issue has come up before in these forums but it was back in 2009.
We are now 2010
I have a Palm Pre and live in Italy. The phone is registered with Palm as being in Italy
The phone was bought on E Bay and is from Germany
I have a Canadian and Italian credit card
When I want to buy an App and submit my credit card details I cannot enter them because Italy or Canada is not a provided option.
Has this wrinkle been addressed yet by Palm - will it do so in the future. Does anyone know a way around this little wrinkle
Thx in advance

Hello and welcome to the forums;
Each phone is associated with a specific country. The country is assigned automatically the first time a Palm profile is created on the phone. The App Catalog apps you can access are based on the country associated with the phone.
Phones associated with the following countries or regions can use App Catalog to purchase apps and to download free apps:
Canada; Germany; Ireland; Mexico; Spain; United Kingdom; United States (these are the countries in which Palm is sold locally by carriers)
Phones associated with the following countries or regions can use App Catalog to download free apps only:
Australia; Austria; Belgium; China; Czech Republic; France; Hong Kong; Italy; Luxembourg; Netherlands; Norway; Poland; Switzerland (Palm devices are not locally sold in these countries, they need to be imported)
Unfortunately, this is the reason you are unable to enter payment information, and will be unable to purchase apps. If you can see paid apps, the device may have been activated in Germany originally, and as such if you had a German card (and billing address) it may accept that as an option, but I cannot guarantee it.
Hope this helps,
TreoAide

Palm pre sync with Google tasks?

Hello, I am thinking about upgrading my Centro to a Palm Pre versus a Google Android phone. I am leaning towards the pre but for one issue. I know that it is easy to sync Google calendars, but what about syncing Google tasks? I saw some old posts that said you can't do it, but am wondering if it is now supported.

Hello. I am new to the forum and might not be here long if a couple issues can't can't be fixed.
1. As an ADHD adult, the tasks list is by far the most important application on a Palm for me. I synchronized all my data from Palm Desktop 6.22 to my brand new Pre and there are a couple problems. One, I can't figure out how to do recurring tasks. On the Centro it was simple. Just enter something like "feed the fish" and set it to redo three days after task was completed. I see no settings like this . How can I get recurring tasks back?
2. I used to have categories on my Palm Centro task list. For example, as a teacher, I had school tasks, a grocery lists, a Home Depot list, etc. These categories disappeared after I synced to my newly created Google account.
3. This is pretty similar to number two. I used to have categories for memos. Categories for passwords, categories for college stuff, categories for fantasy baseball stuff, etc. Now, they're gone. How do I get them back.
4. More memos questions. How come some of them show the details and then starting at the letter P, I just see sticky notes with one or two letters? WHat is that about? How am I supposed to know what those memos are? How do I fix this?
I've been a Palm Use for well over a decade, but if Palm can;t fix things like this, well, then I guess I'll give up on 'em and get a Droid like my wife. However, Palm has helped me organize my life for so long I'd like to stay with them. Are there any fixes for these problems, either via setting on the phone, apps, or anything else? Thank you in advance for your help.

THE ULTIMATE PALM PRE POOR SIGNAL ISSUE THREAD

The previous thread I posted can be deleted. This thread has everything people need to read. Here is the conversation I just had with Palm about the rampant signal problems everyone is having with their Palm Pre phones (side note, they say they'll be calling me back in a few days. I'll assume they mean BUSINESS days and i'll post here again tuesday or wednesday if I don't hear from anyone.) :
1:56 AM Connecting...
1:56 AM Connected. A support representative will be with you shortly.
1:57 AM Support session established with Sabino.
1:57 AM Sabino: Hello David. Thank you for contacting Palm. My name is Sabino.
1:57 AM David Doria: hi
1:58 AM Sabino: I understand that you are facing issues with weak signals.
1:58 AM Sabino: Am I correct?
1:58 AM David Doria: yes. weak, and also erractic. sometimes i will get full bars, and then it will jump to one bar, or none...then be roaming, then Ev, then 1x...all in the SAME spot
1:58 AM Sabino: I’m sorry for any trouble this may have caused.
1:58 AM Sabino: May I know since how long you are facing this issue?
1:59 AM David Doria: as long as i've been using a palm pre, but it is getting worse with time. i've been using a palm pre since october of last year
2:00 AM Sabino: Let me know the webOS version on the device and your carrier name.
2:01 AM David Doria: whatever the latest OS is. 1.4.whatever. and i'm with sprint
2:01 AM Sabino: This seems to be the issue with the network, all the network related issues were taken care by your carrier. I suggest you to contact Sprint. They will be able to fix the issue.
2:01 AM David Doria: um, you said that before i even told you what carrier i'm using
2:01 AM Sabino: I just pulled the details using your phone number.
2:02 AM David Doria: you know that isn't true. you know it's not sprint
2:02 AM David Doria: i just told you all my other phones with sprint worked fine here and i've only been having problems since i got a palm pre
2:02 AM Sabino: Okay, contact your carrier, they will be able to fix the issue.
2:02 AM David Doria: i've lived here for 4 years and i've had sprint all 4 years
2:02 AM David Doria: no they won't. i've been contacting them for weeks. they came out and checked the tower TWICE now. there's nothing they can do. it's a hardware issue for palm
2:04 AM David Doria: there are threads all over the internet with hundreds of people complaining about having signal issues ONLY since they bought a palm pre. now you're telling me it's a sprint issue and you haven't even looked at my phone yet.
2:05 AM Sabino: What I would like to do, is place your case into a special team that develops technical solutions. They will do further research on it. They would be in touch with you once they have further updates. I cannot commit to a specific callback period, but please know that we are working on your case. May I do that for you?
2:06 AM David Doria: no, because i saw someone in one thread say that palm told them the exact same thing...in 2009
2:06 AM David Doria: so you're basically saying you're forwarding the problem to a generic department to a generic person that i can't know the name of, with no contact info, and that there is no guarantee when they will contact me IF they even will contact me...but i should definitely believe they are working on the problem
2:06 AM Sabino: What exactly you want me to do now?
2:06 AM David Doria: that's ridiculous
2:07 AM David Doria: i want you to tell me why palm is not fixing this problem with the palm pre and is instead telling me it is sprint's problem and then pretending to forward the issue to another department which has already had years to fix the issue
2:08 AM Sabino: As I stated, all the network related issues are taken by carrier.
2:09 AM David Doria: it's a hardware issue
2:10 AM Sabino: I am going to tell you about our 2 repair options:
2:10 AM Sabino:
1. Repair return: After I create your service repair order, you receive an email with the details on how and where to ship your device for repair. The email also contains info on the follow-up process. After the repair center receives your device, you’ll receive a working device in another 5-7 business days.
2. :”With the advance exchange option, we ship you a replacement device first, and then you return your defective device to us using a prepaid label. There is a $29.95 fee for this special service but you get a replacement device within 3-5 days.
2:10 AM David Doria: you can't even KNOW it's a network issue without looking at the phone, and all evidence points to hardware since other phones on the same carrier work fine
2:10 AM Sabino: Please go through the above 2 options.
2:10 AM David Doria: this is my SEVENTH palm pre phone, sabino
2:11 AM David Doria: as many others in forums will tell you, they have also replaced their phones MULTIPLE times hoping to fix this issue. nothing works. there is SOMETHING physically wrong with the reception capability of the palm pre
2:12 AM David Doria: dude, stop copying and pasting what palm tells you to say and listen to me. these phones do NOT work. there is something majorly wrong with them and palm is cheating people out of hundreds of dollars a piece to save themselves the cost of a fix.
2:13 AM Sabino: Please hold on while I transfer the chat to our Supervisor.
2:13 AM David Doria: thank you
2:13 AM Sabino: You’re welcome.
2:14 AM Transferring session to another technician...
2:14 AM Support session established with Saben.
2:14 AM Saben: Hello David, this is supervisor Saben.
2:15 AM Saben: Please stay on hold while I go through the chat.

2:16 AM David Doria: i am facing signal issues. my network is functioning just fine
2:16 AM Saben: Okay.
2:16 AM Saben: Did you try any troubleshooting steps?
2:17 AM David Doria: yes. i reset my phone...tried NEW phones...updated...updated PRL...etc...tried 2G only, restarting the phone after removing the battery, tried going outside...tried going a few blocks down.
2:17 AM David Doria: i can't even count how many things i have tried. something is wrong with the palm pre
2:18 AM Saben: Did you try with the webOS doctor?
2:18 AM David Doria: i've tried every software solution i can find
2:19 AM Saben: I am sorry, I just want to know did you run the webOS doctor tool?
2:19 AM David Doria: i've been talking to sprint about this for WEEKS now. in case you didn't read the conversation, they've already come out to check the local tower twice now
2:20 AM Saben: Okay. It seems that you did not use the webOS doctor tool on the device to check the issue.
2:20 AM David Doria: yes. the local sprint repair center used the tool when my phone froze during an update
2:20 AM David Doria: yes i did
2:20 AM Saben: Okay. Thank you for the information.
2:20 AM David Doria: you're welcome
2:20 AM Saben: Then it seems need a repair.

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

So they finally called me back, but I didn't get the call because.....I had no signal. HAHA
I got their voicemail and called back. First, they tried telling me YET AGAIN that it was Sprint's problem. They said that if I call Sprint, they will give me a device to boost signal in my home. I said, "That's fine, but what do I do when I'm in the rest of the country?" Then they told me it was a software problem and that I need to run WebOSdoctor to reinstall the operating system. I told them that this is my 7th Palm Pre. I told them that Sprint already used the Doctor...like I told the online tech people. But this guy on the phone wasn't having it. He told me that he didn't think Sprint was able to do that (so I can, but Sprint can't =/?) and that I should do it just to be sure. He said if that doesn't work that they will try out a NEW Palm profile and see if that fixes it. If neither of those works, he basically admitted there are no other options.
I asked him if there is some sort of way they can physically upgrade the antenna system with a better material or placement and he said that Palm has no department able to do that.
I told him about the various threads online like this one, where dozens of people complain about the same issue. He told me to just do the WebOSdoctor and call him back. I asked him if this has fixed signal problems for people previously and he said that he doesn't get to know the end result of his suggestions to customers. How unprofessional is that? How is the guy supposed to get better at his job if he's not allowed to find out if the fixes he suggest to people actually work? That seems nuts to me, but i digress.
I haven't tried the Doctor yet. I'm going to, but I'm just being lazy because I know it won't work, and it's going to be really annoying to update my phone and backup photos first and all that good stuff.
I will post back after I run the doctor and try the new Palm profile. Until then, I'd REALLY suggest you all do what I did and call Palm, insisting they fix the problem, even if it means a recall. They aren't gonna do it just for me, no matter how many times I complain. That's a fact.
If anyone DOES call Palm, it would probably be a good idea to bring up this thread and also to post here about what they tell you!

AFTER receiving a text message, how to turn off sound on Palm Pre

Someone has to help me with this, because I'm at my wits' end! I used to have a Palm Centro, and really, any other phone before my new Palm Pre, goes something like this:
1. You get a notification ring(s) when you receive a new voicemail or text message
2. You press the volume button, hit the screen, etc
3. THE NOTIFICATION RINGS STOP!!!!
Does Palm Pre not have that capability? If I'm texting back and forth with someone, I have to listen to the WHOLE THING EVERY TIME? Tell me that Palm has thought of a way to fix this, because it's driving me batty. It's the only thing I completely hate about this phone, and I can't find anyone here that has had the same issue...
How do I make the ringing stop?????
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I don't know about anyone else, I get the notification for everything that happens: for IM's, texts, when I charge the battery, when I'm low in battery, etc. The issue that I have, and that I hope someone has the solution, is that from my old Palm Centro, and really, every phone I've ever owned, there was something I could press that would stop the notification! Nothing stops the notification though! and it's a good 30 seconds... Which is not a big deal when it's one text message, but when it's 4 texts messages going, it never stops!

Palm pre Hotspot

Hi- I have the palm pre and was wondering can the mobile hotspot be used as mobile broadband connection? 2) Are there any extra fees associated (other than the data plan) 3) How secure is it? When traveling does the connect incur roaming fees?

I just got my Palm Pre Plus this week. I can answer some of your questions. I had a pay as you go USB mobile broadband from another company. I used my built in hotspot today, was up and going in less than a minute (set up and connecting). I set a password though because as soon as I connected someone close by connected...my phone beeped and it showed someone connected so I shut it off set the password and reconnected. It runs faster than the pay as you go from the other company did.
As for price, it does not use your data plan, it is separate. Did you get your phone with the special of the mobile hotspot free (5gb limit per month, and charged per mb over that limit? Otherwise I believe they told me it was $30 a month value.
I'm not sure about the roaming charge question, someone should come along with the answer to that. My guess is depending on your plan, I don't get any roaming charges call wise so I don't believe I would with the hotspot but as I said I just got my phone and loving it.

The Bell Palm Pre is a CDMA phone while Rogers is GSM and unforutnately we currently do not have a GSM Pre in Canada yet. The Palm Pre 2 in Canada is GSM and will be avail soon. Check it out here.

I want to delete password protect on Palm Pre

I had my work e-mail being sent to my Palm Pre and therefore had to add password protection. I am no longer doing e-mail on my phone and have deleted my e-mail account, but it's still requiring a password in order to use the phone. I know I didn't have to do this before I added my work e-mail. How do I get rid of it?
Thanks.

Perhaps the "Screen & Lock" app is what you're looking for?
Turn off "Secure Unlock".
