Changing your display icons (gestures) on Palm Pre

I heard that you can change the display icons (gestures) at the bottom of the screen if you want. Anybody know how to do that? I would like to replace my calendar icon with the messaging icon. I heard a few times it's possible. Thanks.!!

Thanks for the solution. Another question would be that when i was at the Sprint store, one of them stated that it's possible to delete pre-loaded apps??? (NFL, NASCAR) etc... I figured you couldn't because it's part of the hardware but I figured I would ask. Thanks..

How to change your displayed name

How do you change your displayed name in iCloud? I have tried changing the settings and I also update my Apple ID profile, but iCloud still displays my old name.
The name displays in the upper right hand corner and is always displayed, even if you select Calendar, Contacts, Mail, Notes, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Just had this problem myself. All you have to do is visit https://appleid.apple.com/ . Log in and you can edit your info. Best luck!

HT3051 can you change your Change Your Displayed Name if you have multiple devices attached with the same apple id?

We have both a Iphone 4s and a 4th Generation Ipod Touch both with the latest available IOS software on them. Since the Ipod touch was given to a preteen for Christmas and they aren't old enough to have their own email account or apple id 11 years old going on 12, is it possible to have a different displayed name for each device if they are both signed in with the same apple ID and not interfere with each others device in doing so?

@pdroth. Displayed name as in when you sign up for a apple id you sign up with email and a screen name(this is your display name). If you are using any apple device as like you do with an android device you have to sign in with either your google acct for android or apple id for a apple product. If one apple product is utilizing that apple id already aka Iphone and you can't set up a account for your child because of his or her age because of age restrictions, both devices will use the same info. So for instance when using things like facetime instead of seeing jane doe calling jane doe(basically making it show name of other person using your account instead of seeing your own name) can you make on jane doe and one john doe using the same apple id just different outgoing display name. Hopefully this helps.

Can you change where an icon will appear on the stage?

I'm using A/ware 6. I'm using DISPLAYICON to make an icon
appear. Is it possible to change where the icon's content appears?
Is there a way of requesting an icon's content appear at a specific
X/Y location on the stage rather than where it is located in the
icon? Thanks

Create 2 variables - ImageX and ImageY.
Open your Display icon, and set it's Positioning field to On
Screen.
Type ImageX in the X location. ImageY in the Y location.
You can now set the variables in your code, at any point
before you display
your icon. The icon will appear in the position specified by
your variables.

Palm Pre no longer syncing with Google Calendar

I've had my Pre for 4-5 weeks, and when I first got it, I configured the calendar to sync with my Google calendar. Everything worked fine. At some point, it stopped syncing. If I add something to the calendar through Google, I don't see it on my Pre and if I add an event on the Pre, it never shows up on Google. Obviously I tried the sync now option to no avail. I'm not sure if this happened around the V1.1.0 update or not. Is anyone else having issues syncing with Google Calendar?
Thx,
Brett

Hello Bartman,
You may want to try removing and re-adding the gmail account to the Pre. If this doesn't work, try creating a test gmail account and add it to the Pre. This will tell you if it is your email account or the Palm Pre.
Let us know what happens....
Thanks,

Palm Pre: Touchscreen and gesture area stop working but buttons continue to work

This is now happening to me too - more over just the last week. Strange things happen - setting the clock alarm freezes the Pre. Also, after charging - battery icon does not appear - coupled with the touchscreen freeze but buttons working (these are 2 single instances - although charging on the Touchstone has been quirky). Over the last 10 days, several Palm Pre initiated resets (just like my old Treo) so something must be wacky. So far for me, the power button press and back & forth ringer method has successfully rebooted and 'fixed' the 'freeze' problem. Did you have and end resolution?

When I change size of icons or icon vs list display, why does it affect the whole computer?

When I change size of icons, or icon vs list display, why does it affect the whole computer? In some folders I want to see a list and others I want to see an icon and I don't need a large icon in all folders. I used to be able to set each folder separately in the old OS. How do I fix this?

I can hilight an item, go to the finder/file/getinfo but there is no box next to icon view.
I can go to view/options and adjust the icon size etc, but this applies to every folder in the whole computer. I need varied options in different folders, i.e., I want to view images as icons and text as text. I have to change it every time I open a folder. I used to be able to set it per folder in the old OS.

No page display icons/can't change page display

Just installed Digital Editions on a MacBook Pro; there are no page display icons to change the view (to side-by-side pages, or one, etc) and the keyboard shortcuts don't work either. Any thoughts?

You are most likely viewing an ePub file. The only controls are the font size controls, and the view will automatically move to a two page view when the combination of screen size/font size is enough to display the content in that view. On my MacBook Pro this happens in a medium font view with the window maximized to full width.

I am not able to change the ringtone on my Palm Pre?

I spent a couple days on researching and troubleshooting, but unable to find anything. Can someone shed some lights? I followed the same instructions given on the Palm support website, but it wouldn't change the ringtone. I tried using the ringtones that were pre-loaded to the phones as well as ones I downloaded on iTunes but couldn't get it to work.
I am getting a bit frustrated now.
I have been having a lot of problems with this palm pre since I got it a month ago.

One of the key things about changing the ringtones is once you set the new ringtone you need to do a backswipe to return to the previous screen for the ringtone to save.

Palm Pre Plus: why have it Verizon if it`s no good for your customers?

I have a Verizon Palm Pre Phone and it is the absolute worst phone I ever owned and I have owned mobile phones back when you needed a operator to place the call., I have had this for for 3 months with 3 warranty replacements in 3 weeks the first two phones would not build a palm profile account phone 3 and 4 the verizon system does not recognize the phone`.the s ESN I have spoke with both Palm and Verizon`s techs for hours with no help I have been blind transferred back and forth hung-up on by a verizon supervisor and the best help I can get is suggested I buy a new phone. What about this phone Verizon phone it`s 3 months old and still under warranty. I have not had a working phone since 11/27/10 there customer service stinks for a guy who spends 500.00 a month. You are not the only game in town.

Unfortunate to hear your stories re: the palm pre plus.
On the flip side, I have had my phone since Jan 2010 and have had NONE of the problems you guys have mentioned.
To be honest, do not rely on verizon tech support re: palm webOS devices, as either they werent trained by palm when the devices were released, or they didnt pay mind to learn the ins and outs of webOS devices. you'll get better tech support from palm, or even better from fan sites such as precentral or webOSroundup. verizon is all into android these days, so if you have an android device, you will get much better tech support from verizon.
re: backup- the webOS devices are the easiest to wipe clean, or "doctor" your phone when you want to bring the device back to its factory default, and/or sell the device. Its also the easiest to "hack" or "homebrew" which interestingly enough, is supported by hp and palm, unlike other platforms. "homebrewing" is as easy as installing apps on your phone. homebrewing should also NOT void your warranty. "Overclocking" on the other hand, while a great tool for palm devices and also as simple as installing an app, WILL void your warranty because you are now affecting the hardware of the phone directly. Do so at your own risk, though to be honest, it makes the phone SOOOOOOO much faster its hard to be without. To each their own.
Re: contact backup, I would recommend that you do NOT use the default palm profile to back up my calender, contact, and other entries, until HP or PALM one day allows you to access this info in the cloud or on desktop sync software. I would recommend instead using one of the free syngergy services such as google or yahoo, or alternatively use third party software to sync with outlook or even palm desktop. This way, all of your contacts, calender entries, and emails will ALWAYS have a backup stored somewhere else, and can easily be synced back to your webOS devices if you ever need to "doctor" or reboot your phone from scratch.
Hope this helps.

Posting on the forum from your Palm PRE

Long time Palm user here. I really want to love WebOS.
This post was meant to be about losing my ability to download and save most podcasts. Due to a bug/glitch/flaw in the pre and in combination with how some sites work this has become impossible. (we are due for a fix any day now?)
But JUST attempting to post on this very forum turned out to be nearly impossible, from the Palm Pre.
Have you tried it? See what happens.
As soon as you begin to type in the text field the browser app automatically shifts focus to the top left corner. Meanwhile, as I type this in the Memo app to copy and paste later, the browser has inevitably gotten lost in the horrible memory shuffle and will have to refresh when I try to return to it.
Think we can get a fix for this minor browser annoyance?
All the little things are adding up to a really frustrating experience. I just have to ask. I can't be the only one having this much a frustrating experience with this phone?
Will "too many cards" be a permanent feature of the Pre hardware?
Slow! Will there be any speed enahncements in future updates? Is this even possible?
Email is practically unusable at times for how slow it can be.
Between lockup/slowdowns and the phone being stuck in headset mode a simple phonecall can be quite a task.
I could keep going, I'm sure you've heard all this by now,to be honest I just felt like venting my frustrations.

Hello and welcome to the forums;
The issue with the browser moving when typing in a text entry field has been forwarded to our engineers, and may be resolved in a future update. We appreciate all the assistance of everyone who has brought this to our attention in the past.

HT2493 Change your icons not working

hi everyone,
I've been trying to change a folder icon to a .jpeg image, but having followed the instructions in HT2493 I am at a loss to get this procedure to work for me. At best, the blue folder icon is replaced by the mac .jpeg image icon and not the actual image file I want to use. The instructions seemed very straightforward and I believe I followed them correctly. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Worse, I know I've done this at least once before because I have a "my stuff" folder on my desktop which has a special photo icon. Thanks for reading, and, any and all suggestions welcomed...

Hi again,
Got it! Thanks to Barney-15E who responded to another user with the same question. I found his reply in the archived discussion from 2009. What I was missing was opening the image in preview, then selecting the entire image and copying it to the clipboard. Then when I went to the get info panel and hilighted the folder icon I could replace it with the image file.

Palm Pre won't load apps (messaging, memos, contacts, email)

I have been having issues with my phone and can find no root cause. As it exists right now, the phone is unusable - i lose/miss messages, am unable to read email and tear through battery. The surprising thing is that these issues are apparently not hardware related as I have now seen them on 2 devices. Please let me know what I can try / how to resolve this. Below is a detailed description of my problem and what i have tried. (tl;dr - i have completely reflashed one device, and just recieved a 'new' one from sprint today that still has these issues).
I first noticed problems with my phone approx 2 weeks ago when trying to open the 'messaging' app to read/send text messages. the app icon would flash once or twice, but the card did not appear. Sometimes it came back with a reboot. After noticing this, I also found that the 'Memos' app would start, but not display any stickies (even the 'new memo' one). Contacts and Email load, but just display a blank canvas (white screen - the add contact/new email button appears though). The calendar also loaded the week view, but would not respond to requests to change to day or month view, and showed no events. Along with contacts not loading, I had issues getting Universal search to display contacts stored on my phone. During times when these apps didn't work, the back of the phone got hot, and battery life dropped horribly (from lasting more than 12 hours on a full charge to 4 hours). These issues led me to believe that maybe there was a hardware problem. it seemed like any app that used data storec on the device was having issues - maybe the internal flash went bad or had solder issues. I took it into my local sprint store, and they restored / hard reset it - I'm assuming this is the same as the webOSdoctor flashing - it took about an hour. things worked fine for part of the day after getting it back, but eventually came back. I took the phone back to sprint and they requested a new one under warranty.
I just got the new one today, and after logging into my palm profile, re-downloading a few apps, and sycing my contacts with facebook, palm profile, and google, the issue returned. it's hard to say for sure, but it seems like maybe it was related to the facebook sync? that was the last thing I started before walking away. when I came back, I could not open messaging, and the other issues mentioned above all appeared. I tried putting the phone in airplane mode thinking that my wifi or 3g connection was wonky (Sprint is currently having a lot of problems in my area - West Michigan), but this had no effect either. When I took the phone out of airplane mode, things seemed to work for about 10 minutes, but then the issues resumed.
Has anyone seen or heard of things like this? my best theory is facebook issues, but I am not about to start deleting friends one by one to find the problem. I only have about 260 facebook 'friends', but that syncing is one of the most important features of this phone to me. At this point, I am at a loss for things to try. perhpas there are developer tools I could use to see running processes / debug messages / errors? I rooted my first palm pre ( replaced 9 months ago after cracking the screen ), but am not interested in doing that to this device for fear that sprint / palm would claim it voided the warranty. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello!
First of all rooting your device does not void warranty for anything wrong done there can be resolved through the use of webOS doctor, with exception to overclocking.
Could you try to partial erase the device and instead of signing back into your same palm profile, make a new one. Add back your online accounts and see how the phone fairs. At this time any homebrew install will complicate matters so if some installed please run the webOS doctor instead of erasing the device. Keep me posted.

I have a new Palm Pre Plus - can I have more than one Google G-Mail Account on the phone?

I have a general G-Mail account and it has started getting too busy with advertisements etc. I'm thinking about changing to a different e-mail address but don't know what yet.
I have an old Palm Centro I used to Synch with my laptop. Now I need to do this with G-Mail. So I created a unique g-mail account that would only contain my calendar and contact information - i called it "palm.last name" - made sense to me.
When I try to add it to my Palm Pre Plus I am unable to sign in. I'm wondering if you are limited to the number of Gmail e-mail accounts you can have on the phone. If i can only have 1 then I don't want my e-mail to be "palm.last name" and give that out to people - that would not make sense to them.
I already have a Yahoo Account and I'm thinking about another Yahoo Account to keep some e-mails and instant messages separate from my personal Yahoo. If I cannot add more than 1 account, this is going to be a problem.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Hi, and welcome to the Palm Support Community.
You should be able to add your second Gmail account without any problem...I have two Gmail accounts on my Pre and have no difficulties.
When you say you are unable to "sign in", I assume you mean you are unable to sync the email and calendar on your new account? Double-checking your user name and password are the only things that come to mind.
