I need help being pushed over the Palm Pre Plus fence......

I posted this on another site, but didn't get much of a response. Sorry I couldn't easily find this searching the forum and I hope this is posted in the right place.
The first time I touched the PPP it felt comfortable and after playing with it for a while, it seems like a great device. My only concerns about the PPP are:
1) The keyboard seems like it may take getting used to and I believe I saw an app for a virtual keyboard, but wanted to know how good the virtual keyboard app is and if there any alternatives out there since I really like the idea of 3 keyboard options.
2) My second concern (which basically arose because the small keyboard and trying to type on it) is whether auto-correct/suggest is in the latest webOS update or are there any plans to include it in the near future or finally are there any good Palm apps that do it well.
BTW my company only allows certain phones and my second contender is the Samsung Omnia II, since the DROID has not been approved yet due to security issues.
Thank you for any tips, tricks and advice you can provide on pushing me over the PPP fence.

There is a free downloadable program called web os quick install. Here you can find hundreds of free apps and "patches" that can change the appearance and operations of your pre. You can get a great virtual keyboard and can also increase the amount of auto correct words; however, as stated above, it doe not included auto correct. However, you can purchase several virtual keyboards that I believe do include auto correct.
The other responder is wrong, with all due respect, about the various keyboards not working will all apps. One of the patches you can install (from web os quick install) will make the accelerometer work with almost all important apps like email, text, and many websites that can not normally be viewed in landscape.
I researched virtually every phone on the market for over a week. I was also hesitant about making the change, but I am so happy I did. The phone is amazing and I find every excuse I can to use it because it so fun to operate. Make the leap man. The grass truly is greener on this side of the fence.

Need help being pointed in the right directi

I have been out of the computer game for a number of years and with the advances, I think I am having trouble understanding what sound cards are capable of these days.
What I am wanting to do is hook up my sound card to a reciever, which I'm assuming I'd need rca outputs, or directly hook up speakers to the sound card. What I would like to do is use stereo speakers (the big ones) and maybe even possibly have a bass connection if that is at all possible. I think this is 2.
I'm pretty lost. I know stereo speakers are hooked up by wire, and not a plug connection.

Hey!? so if you are purchasing a new sound card, there are basically a few options you can do:
- If you are connecting your sound card to a receiver, there are a few sound cards that have optical outputs (such as the x-fi titanium) where you get a digital signal from your card, to the receiver. make sure your receiver has an optical input (sometimes called toslink)? That will give you the easiest (in my opinion) connection for "digital".
- Some older cards have a digital out from a miniplug connection (like a headphone jack) that will then go to your receiver and go into a "component in" receptacle - which is usually orange in color and looks like a single RCA connector alone. this is also "digital" and not "analog".
- RCA is the easiest analog connection to a receiver. Basically, you need a RCA cord that on one side has the red and white connectors, and on the other side, it looks like a headphone jack, called miniplug. you would plug the "miniplug" into your sound card in the back, and then the RCA side to the rear of the receiver. that will give you stereo sound. the Subwoofer or bass connection would come from your receiver which takes care of it. ?
The digital connection is primarily if you want surround sound. think like 5. or 7. Sounds like you just want 2. sound (2 speakers and . for the subwoofer)? I would just go with the analog connection and get the hybrid RCA cable. ?
Hopefully this helps and its not too complicated. ?

How Do I save a ringtone I got in a text message? (for the palm pre plus)

title says it all.
Thank you.

I'd like to know this too. As it is, I don't see a way to get ringtones at all. I had to upload entire songs to get and save them in my ringtones in order to set a ringtone to certain contacts and even then it plays the entire song.

Why doew the Palm Pre Plus have the mirror as you open the keyboard

It is ver distracting to folks around you if your are in the passenger side of a car and the sun catches the mirror. It is especially bad in the southwest sun.

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.

Is Palm Zire 21 Software compatible with Palm Pre Plus Cell Phone?

I have an older Palm Zire 21. I love all the features. However, now I am trying to consolidate my Windows (vista) Calendar with my Palm and it is not compatible. I thought I would purchase the newer Palm Pre plus Cell Phone in order to have all of my contacts and calendars on my phone as well as my laptop. Though no one can seem to answer my question: Can I import my contact and calendar from my Zire 21 to the Palm Pre Plus?
Many thanks to who can answer this for me. I greatly appreciate your time and assistant.

webOS (the new Operating System) from Palm does not natively sync to your computer, but to the "cloud" (online servers).
Palm offers a program that will read your Palm Desktop information, and transfer it to Google. This is only a one-time transfer, and not a sync solution. See this thread.

How do I synch my Palm Pre Plus with Outlook 2010 running on Windows 7 - 64 Bit

Any 3rd party apps that will do this>
Post relates to: Pre Plus p100una (AT&T)

I have been using my Palm TX for years, with Chapura's KeySuite, in order to sync contacts, calendars, notes and tasks (including categories) with Outlook 2003 in two computers (home and office.) I expected to be able to do the same with the Palm Pre Plus, but this is what Chapura have told me:
"We only offer software that syncs with Palm OS or the Pre webOS devices. PocketMirror would be our software that works with these devices. The Pre webOS does not support categories for the calendar and contacts. The calendar and contact categories remain in Outlook. They just do not sync to the Pre. The tasks and notes applications that come on the Pre do not support categories. However, in order to sync tasks and notes we had to create our own tasks and notes applications for the Pre. Our tasks and notes application do support categories."
"You cannot sync with more than one PC using our Pre software. It is only designed to allow you to sync the Pre with one PC. The only software we offer that will allow a handheld to sync with multiple PCs would be our Palm OS software."
Bummer. So this means that I will be able to sync Outlook 2003 to the Pre (albeit imperfectly -- no categories in calendars nor contacts), but I won't be abe to sync to a 2nd PC...

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

SERIOUS PROBLEM Synching Palm Pre Plus (Verizon) with Companion Link OS USB -- NEED HELP!!

I am having serious problems with Companion Link OS USB synching with Palm Desktop 4.2 via USB on my Verizon Palm Pre.
The Verizon phone is my second Palm Pre. (The original Palm Pre which came from Germany worked perfectly with Companion Link).
The Verizon Palm Pre is a Palm Pre Plus.
As noted I utilize Palm Desktop software Version 4.2.0 on my computer.
I started out with Companion Link software Version 3.0 Build 3096 -- and have worked my way up to Version 4.0 Build 4008 over the last few months, and have spend hundreds of hours trying to solve the synchronization issue described in detail below.
The Companion Link software is configured to ONLY synch one way
FROM my Palm Desktop on my computer to the phone via USB
(I don’t want to put my contacts and calendar on the web, NOR do I like the way Google contacts works, even if I DID want to).
When I synch the Palm Desktop to the Palm Pre the following occurs:
The Calendar synchs fine.
The contacts do NOT synch properly.
I have 1,500+ contacts in my Palm Desktop.
For some inexplicable reason, during the synch process the approximately 1,200+ of my contacts are compiled under ONE contact listing (John Davis). The icon by the contact shows that TWO contacts are linked under John Davis, however when I click on the icon to see who is linked under John Davis, NO contacts appear. But I have the option to link additional contacts under John Davis if desired (AS IF!!).
So, 1,200 of my contacts do NOT appear in the contact list. If I want to call my husband, and type in Bruce, NOTHING comes up. BUT if I type in his phone number, the listing for John Davis comes up and shows me all the numbers that legitimately belong to my husband. Ditto my friend Susan, etc for the other 1,200 contacts buried under the contact listing for John Davis on the phone.
SO, if any of these 1,200+ people, call me or text message me, my phone tells me I have a call or a text from John Davis.
I cannot look up my contacts to call them or text them because the contacts do not actually APPEAR under John Davis (If the phone were just linking them and SHOWED them, I could manually de-link them).
FURTHER, when I get a text message from anyone who is compiled under John Davis, the text message is truncated. I can see the notification that I got a text message from John Davis, and I can see the first few words in the notification area, but if I open the text message, it appears to be blank (this only happens after synching Companion Link – before linking Companion Link all text messages are fine. AND, if I get a text message from one of the 300 or so contacts that actually synch into my phone correctly, the text messages are perfectly fine and work normally.
I have worked with BOTH the Companion Link technical support people AND the Palm technical support people extensively in an effort to solve this problem.
I have done Full Secure Erases and started over trying to get the phone to synch more than 35 times at this point.
I have tried synching from different computers
I have had Palm replace the phone TWICE (so this is actually my third Verizon Palm Pre Plus).
I have run Web OS Doctor
Nothing helps.
Every time the phone does exactly the same thing described above.
            When I synch the phone it tells me:
            Web OS:     Added             1543/1543    Contacts to the phone
            PC:              Updated          1232/1232     Contacts
(The 1232 contacts being updated are the 1232 that are compiled under the one contact listing of course).
Needless to say, Companion Link says it is the phone.
Palm says it is the Companion Link third party software.
Since it is the same 1,200+ contacts every time, I have had both Palm and Companion Link examine my contact database to see if they could identify anything amok about these 1,200+ contacts, but there doesn’t appear to be any difference between those contacts and the 300 or so that synch into the phone properly.
Companion Link has told me variously that:
- This is a very rare Synergy issue and that I must turn off the Synergy feature on the phone (would that this could be done per Palm it can NOT be done).
- Only TWO people have ever had this issue (me and someone else unnamed);
- That this is a common problem with the Palm Pre, but Companion Link works fine with every other phone
- I e-mailed them my contact list and they SWORE to me that they were unable to duplicate my problem on their computers. (I don’t believe this)
- AND has most recently told me that there is nothing more they can do for me, that I will have to find a solution myself.
Palm has said that there is nothing they can do for me if third party software doesn’t work properly with the phone.
This does appear to be the Synergy feature run amok. But how to correct it???????
I love the Palm Pre. I love my Palm Desktop 4.2 software.
If I can’t get this fixed shortly, I guess I’m going to have to move back to a Treo 680.
Does anyone out there please, please, please have a solution or a suggestion that will help?
Post relates to: Pre Plus p101vzw (Verizon)

Hello,
I am almost as frustrated as you. Purchased my pre plus back in may and bought the companion link software immediately ( I have synced via usb for years on other palms to lotus notes) All the information from companion link states that it does the job. I only need to sync my calendar, no contacts.   I have put in a ridiculous amount of time with palm, my IT department and Companion link, IT HAS NEVER EVER EVER WORKED.   I deleted, re installed, upgraded, tried different steps in different orders, I have gotten a new phone, tried it on multiple computers. NOTHING WORKS.   Probably been through all these steps listed 50 times by now. Actually I think that companion link doesn't work for palm pre plus, they just are not willing to say so and advertise that is does work.
I am extremely disappointed in my pre because of this. I did my research before making my purchase, it appeared possible.    I WAS a long term palm user. Currently looking at new phones and never again a palm. Companion link should be more careful about what they say they can do. One of the service techs actually told me that if I wanted it to work I should ditch my palm. That's service for ya.
Good luck, the fight got the better of me. I am done.

Detail: I am having a HTML from, having text box, displayed using UIWebView. If user types in text box it shows the keyboard. Now If user tap and hold on text box it shows a popup menu. Now while keyboard and pop up are being displayed user scrolls the view. At this time it shows pop up over the keyboard which I need to hide.
I tried setMenuVisible of UIMenuController when popup rect and keyboard rect intersects each other on viewDidScroll but it didn't help me.
Any clues will help a lot.
Thanks.

Can you set a ringtone for the palm pre text messages...Please help!!!!

I use to have a centro and you were able to set a special tone for you to identify if that was a text msg or a call coming through. Can you do this with the Palm Pre because I can;t find it?

Where do I need to make noise to? I have had nothing but problems with this thing. From waiting on activation over a 2 day period, to having to manually cut and copy my phone numbers from a csv file, that best buy told me would work without a glitch, into my google account. Now after 4 days I am more comfortable with the phone but am finding out how many things are problems.
*wireless printing
*sync way too many contacts from unneeded accounts
*lack of accessories and applications
*poor battery- even sitting overnight lost 1/2 its battery
*message tone - singular, unloud, not even audible while in a car
*I cant find any way to select text while typing, have to tap, delete, retype. but cant cut, copy and paste. No way to select stuff.
I know its a whole new OS, a brand new phone. But come on palm. Do more quality control and TESTING. Not just with geeks, give more to a bigger diversity of customers. Why sprint didnt pre release to exsisting customers to try out in comparison to their currently useless handsets, is unknown. But someone needed to chime in about TINY little things, like changing the message tone! That eventually will bring the rating and functionality of the handset and get a big thumbs down from users.
