HP (Palm) Pre 2 and mobile hotspot question

HP had their webOS event Wednesday and the word is that the Pre 2 will be available for pre-order on Verizon today (Feb 10). I am certainly interested, but I have a question:
Will the Mobile Hotspot feature be free like it is on the Pre Plus?

http://www.precentral.net/verizon-pre-2-now-available-free-mobile-hotspot-still-tow
This is really confusing. From precentral.net (above link), it said the 3g hot spot feature is free and confirmed.
PalmPre2_4Me wrote:I'm looking for an answer on this as well. I just chatted with Verizon, they didn't know anything about at first, but did research it. Told me that while it isn't listed as a checkout option, customer service would add it for an additional $20.
Now for the confusion, off the HP/Palm site, which links to a Verizon page, I found the following for the Pre 2:
Support Up To 5 WiFi-enabled Devices (3G Mobile Hotspot Service Included Free)
Now, I'm looking to upgrade ahead of the Palm Pre 3 - since I'm betting with that release the Mobile Hotspot feature wouldn't be free. If anyone has any better info and would share, I would be most appreciative. I want to get the new device, but for an additional $240/yr, not sure it is worth it. Plus if I wait 3/6 months, the new device would be here and I might as well just upgrade then.
Thanks for any insight you might be able to provide!

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.

Pre Plus Mobile Hotspot laptop connection issues

Hello All.
I think this is a duplicate post because I hit enter accidentally! Sorry.
I am having a problem connecting my laptop to the internet using Mobile Hotspot through VzW. I have activated the feature on VzW, have the software loaded on my Pre Plus and have tested it successfully with my daughter's iTouch device. She was able to easily connect and access the web while we were in the car.
My laptop recognizes the MHS as a WiFi access and connects to it initially. When it tries to acquire a network address, it fails. I says that the connection has limited or no connectivity. I cannot get on the web with that.
My question is what settings I might need to set on my laptop to help with this connectivity. I have WAP Personal set with the appropriate Key on both devices.
Any thoughts from anyone? I would appreciate any help. I like the concept of the feature but not being able to connect my laptop really puts a damper on my enthusiasm!
Thanks for any help you can give.

I had the same issue. I resolved it by using a passcode that has 8 lowercase letters and no numbers...

Seeking some straight answers on "share everything" and mobile hotspots

Hello all;
I get a sense from reading other posts that the "share everything" plan is -- to say the least -- not going over too well among most Verizon customers. However I'm one case for which I think it might actually be beneficial. Here's the facts. My wife has an iphone -- 2GB data per month. I have a regular phone -- basic 39.99 per month for calls with no extras, not even texting. Right now both phones are set up as individual lines under my account number; nothing is shared. I went through the simple calculator Verizon had on the site, and the monthly cost came out to about what we're paying now --$140 plus "other fees" (whatever than means).
So it seems to me that it might be a good move, just it case I ever had a need for accessing data on my "dumb" phone -- which right now is pay as you go. Also, since my wife uses wifi most of the time, it would appear that the 2GB per month would be more than adequate for both of us. Am I missing something here? Some fee or hidden costs that I'm overlooking?
Second quesiton: Verizon indicates that mobile hotspot is "free" with the share everything plan. Does this mean that we could use my wife's iPhone as a hotspot in order to use our wifi-only iPad when we are in location that does not have wifi service? Sorry if that's an obvious question, but I don't really find a clear explaination of this on Verizon's site. Also, I assume hotspot usage counts against the monthly data allowance? Or is that a whole separate charge we would get hit with?
Thanks in advance for any and all enlightenment on these issues!

Some fee or hidden costs that I'm overlooking? you aren't missing anything. most users use well below 2 gigs, especially if they use wifi often.
Second quesiton: Verizon indicates that mobile hotspot is "free" with the share everything plan. Does this mean that we could use my wife's iPhone as a hotspot in order to use our wifi-only iPad when we are in location that does not have wifi service? yes Sorry if that's an obvious question, but I don't really find a clear explaination of this on Verizon's site. Also, I assume hotspot usage counts against the monthly data allowance? yes Or is that a whole separate charge we would get hit with? no seperate charge. you're looking at about $160 total (after taxes and fees). however, keep in mind that if you start using her hot spot for wifi access for your ipad, your data could go up pretty quickly so you will want to monitor it closely for a while.
Thanks in advance for any and all enlightenment on these issues!
basically, you are looking at $140 (as jimfitzgerald stated) plus about $20 in taxes and fees for unlimited talk and text on both phones and 2 gigs of data that can be used via hotspot from the iphone. it's that simple.

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.

Palm OS and Mac Leopard Question

Hi, I am using a Palm Treo 755p (Sprint). It is currently connected to a Mac running OS 10.4.11 (with issues in syncing, I might add....mostly duplicates appear/secondary addresses 'gone') with Palm Desktop 4.2.1 software, connected for HotSync via USB.
I just got a new Mac running Leopard 10.5.6 and before I install any Palm Software, I want to make sure that Palm Desktop 4.2.1 is the most recent/correct version, and that it WILL work and not mess up a clean, new computer installation.
So...is the Palm Desktop software compatible with Leopard? Are there any compatibility issues?????
Thanks....and anxiously awaiting the Pre and NEW software! Yeah.
Post relates to: Treo 755p (Sprint)

Yes, Palm Desktop 4.2.1 is compatible with Mac OS 10.5.6 and I have two computers running on it without problems

Pre and Post test Questions

I have a project that requires a pre-test, post-test and
knowledge reviews throughout the course. I have created 10 question
slides (I did not use question pools). I am having two issues occur
within the course. First I do not want to track or score the
pre-test questions or the questions embedded within the course what
I will refer to as Knowledge reviews.
I do want the user to go through and receive feedback on each
question answered incorrectly but I do not want a score to be
collected/tracked or tallied as part of the sum total for the
course. The post-test questions need to be the only tracked/scored
questions with that value being submitted to the LMS.
Currently all the questions are being tallied in the course.
(i.e test results show 30 questions with a score when there should
only be 10). What is the best way to include mutiple questions
within my course (as pre-test and Knowledge reviews) but not have a
score tracked until the user takes a post test.
To correct this should I change the pre-test and knowledge
reviews to a survey type question? Or should I leave the question
as graded but set the point value to 0. I inially left the pre-test
and knowldge reviews as graded questions but I deselected Report
Answers under the reporting tab thinking this would prevent the
passing of a score, which is not the case.
If anyone can offer some advice or point me to some
documentaiton that discusses this I would greatly appreciate any
help.
The second issue I have is with the progress indicator within
the course. Is there a way to revmove this from the quesiton pages.
My client does not want to see this indicator. The current work
around I am using is to reduce the font size of the indicator to
5pt, setting the font color to match my background and then
positioning the indicator in a set loation on the page. While this
workaround works I would like to remove it in total if possible.
Thanks in advance,

The first part sounds very weird. I just made a project which
included knowledge checks in the middle of the course and they are
not tracked in the final test. I used Graded questions in my course
and I initially set the score per question to 0 points. After I
found out that they were counted in the question total I removed
the reporting for each of the questions. Now the points are not
being counted and also the questions are not being counted in the
final assesment - I just have the 6 questions out of 6 in the
post-test even though I have 4 knowledge checks inside the course
it self.
Try and click F9 to open up the advanced interaction panel
and make sure that the answers are not being reported. I know it's
obvious, but sometimes Captivate does some weird things.
As for your second question regarding the progress indicator
you can remove that by going to Quiz - Quiz Preferences - Settings
and then unchecking the box "Show Progress".
Best regards,
Michael

J2ME on Palm, PocketPC and Mobile

Hi,
I'm looking for a (non-commercial) JavaVM for Pocket PC with wich I can run J2ME applications. So far, I have only found third party VM's like Waba - but Waba does not support mobile phones (the application has to run on Palm OS, Pocket PC and on mobile phones!!!).
I have already visited http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/computing/users/fittond/ppcjava.html, but there is no solution which run on all three platforms.
Can somebody help me?
Greetings,
Jens G�tz

I'm not really sure why you would want a JVM that runs on Pocket PC, Palm and mobile phones.
In fact the JVM that a mobile phone uses is determined by the manufacturer of that phone and you cannot change the JVM like you can on a PC, Pocket PC or Palm.
And furthermore, if you adhere to the J2ME specification, your application should be interpreted by any JVM correctly.
Regards,
Stephan Erlank

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

AirPort and mobile hotspots

Can I access Airport from my mobile hotspot so 50 can see my Proclaim presentation?

You can join the AirPort Express to your mobile hotspot's Wi-Fi network as a wireless Ethernet bridge. You would then need a second 2nd generation 802.11n Express to broadcast a wireless network for up to 50 users to connect to. The second Express would connect to the first using an Ethernet cable.

Can I upgrade? Also, tethering/ mobile hotspot question

I currently have an iPhone 4 and my contract is up am now paying month to month. My Verizon shows this but says I am not eligible for an upgrade until February. Could I still get the iPhone 5 at the discounted price since my contract is up? Also, *611 told me that tethering and mobile hot spot is included with the new share everything plans. Does this mean I can get rid of the expensive USB I have from Verizon for Internet at home and plug my phone into my computer to tether it for Internet if I get the share everythin plan? Thanks!

I am in a similar situatuion, why is my contract month to month, but I cant upgrade until 11/8/12 at discount.
Can I not just cancel my account, then start a new line with new phone at discount?
I just got in touch with Verizon, this is the explanation that was given to me:
My wife did upgrade her phone 3/8/2011 -- so she got a new 2 year contract.
Shortly there after, we went on a family plan -- at that point in time, I took over responsibility of the account, so at that point the contract for that line went down to 1 year. (said the customer service rep)
So the contract on that line ended 3/8/2012 -- while she can't upgrade until 11/8/2012.
I CAN cancel the line without penalty.
I can not upgrade through the website, or with the gentleman I was talking with.
He said my best option was to ask for a manager at a vzw retail location, and explain the situation -- that Verizon usually doesn't have a problem upgrading someone to keep them in contract.

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.

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.

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.
