Palm Pixi Sprint...

Not sure if this is in the correct forum so please move if needed.
I'm looking at purchasing a Palm Pixi Sprint but live in the UK. The seller mentioned something about being able to flash a custom rom onto the device, allowing it to work on any UK network. Could someone please confirm wether this is possible or not, obviously I don't want to go through with the purchase if, when it gets to the UK, I've got no way of using it!
Thanks in advance, Lee!

Hello Leeriley, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
Just an FYI, this is not a "live chat", but a Forum comprised of other users like yourself, volunteer Moderators, and the occasional Palm CSR. Many times, when you post a question and don't received an immediate reply it's because:
1. Your question hasn't been read yet by anyone.
2. It has been read, but no one knows the answer to your question!
In my case, I fall into the #2 position. I can only say "Caveat Emptor" due to what you're trying to do is not supported by Palm Inc., and I doubt your phone be warranteed should something go wrong with it!

Palm Pixi (Sprint) Problems

I tried to get on Live Chat but it seems to be down. I will try to be both brief and detailed.
I got a Pixi just over a week ago. From the word go it seemed really sluggish. When I tap an app, the lighted icon sits there for at least 3 seconds and then the app delays further to load. If I have 2 apps loaded it gets almost unresponsive. I restored the Pixi with webOS Doctor and the problem is still persisting.
Does this sound like a hardware problem? Is there something else I can do to isolate whether it is S/W or H/W?
This question was solved.

Good luck. When you try to take them back, they will only replace them with a refurbished phone. I had my Palm Pixi two and a half weeks when the skin started peeling around the face. The store told me they could replace it but the one they got in (two weeks and a half weeks later) was peeling completely around the phone. The next one they got in looked good but I have to put it on speakerphone to hear the other person. They are sending another phone, supposedly to arrive tomorrow...but it will be another refurbished phone...wonder what will be broken on it????

Bluetooth: Volume Issue (Palm Pixi, Hands Free Link Bluetooth)

Make/Model: Acura TL
Year: 2008
Carkit Model info (Manufacturer, firmware version, etc):
Details of problem: Call volume is so quiet you can't hear anything on bluetooth HFL (Hands Free Link)
webOS version:.4.5
Included in compatibility list:
Yesterday morning the built-in bluetooth on my car was working fine, then at lunch when I tried to use it it was impossible to hear the call. I checked the phone and the volume is turned up all the way, and the bluetooth HFL is working fine with my husband's phone, so the issue has to be with my Palm Pixi. I can hear the HFL commands and prompts without issue at a normal volume level (8-10) but to hear even a whisper of a conversation or even a ringtone I have to turn the volume up to about 40.
I've tried to search on my Pixi to see if there are any settings I can adjust or update, but haven't been able to find anything.
Anyone have suggestions about how to correct/address this issue?
Post relates to: Pixi p120eww (Sprint)

You have to go through the entire pairing process or can you just turn off Bluetooth and then turn it back on again, or go into the phone and select the car and they connect? If you are having to go through the pairing process again, it could be a problem with the vehicle. The iPhone uses the latest Bluetooth stack and it may be a problem with pairing with the vehicle system. Try contacting Honda/Acura and see if there are any firmware updates for the systems in the vehicle.

HP Palm Pixie -- Connecting/Viewing Internet Video Streaming

Is the Palm Pixie phone capable of connecting to the internet and watching website video Movie/Television Show video selections (or must I purchase the Palm Pixie Plus or greater models, to do so)? For example, connecting to:
http://www.hulu.com/ .... or
http://www.fastpasstv.ms/ .... or
http://www.1channel.ch/ .... or
http://www.tehcake.com/video/tvshows.html
Thank you, for the assistance and clarification.

IMHO, if your main interest is viewing video (I know Hulu won't work, not sure of the others), why are you choosing the smallest screen HP placed on a phone? :/

Palm Pixi Updates in 1xRTT Areas

I am trying to find a way to update the Palm Pixi in 1xRTT areas. My market does not have 3G and the nearest 3G market is 5 hours away. The local technician told me there is a software updater on the Palm Website but I cannot find anything here to help. I have several of these phones prompting us to update them and no way to update! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It should be made available within the next few days.

Dead Palm Pixie to new device

My palm pixie has received water damage and is now dead. I have been offered a phone by one of my friends. Is there anyway possible to get my old info. onto the new phone?
Post relates to: Pixi p120eww (Sprint)

Hello and welcome to the forums,
If the device will not power up at all. The only data available will be the PIM data (Contacts, Calendar, memos and tasks) located on the Palm Profile/HP Webos Account. You could try going to the carrier and using another Web OS device to log into your Web OS account and download your data to that device. Then, ask them to celebrite it to your current device.
Any data on the USB partition of the device will be unavailable if the device will not power up at all.
Hopefully this helps you...
Thanks,
Cola

Brand New Palm Pre (Sprint) stuck at WebOS ver 1.1.0

Hi everybody
Anyone else having this problem or anyone from HP that can shed some light?
I have a brand new Palm Pre (Sprint) that came out of the box with WebOS version 1.1.0. It activated fine on Sprint's network and the data works, I was able to log into my Palm Profile, and wifi works as well. But launching the Updates app and checking for updates will not give me any WebOS update -- just no update available. It shows some of apps I've purchased, but they fail to install. But definitely no WebOS update, and it's been 5 days since I activated the phone. Also, the "App catalog is unavailable " when I launch the Ap catalog (perhaps because of my early WebOS version number.
I've called Sprint, they understand the issue, but have no solution, saying the problem is probably on HP's side. All they could really offer me is an Advance replacement, that would hopefully be a Pre, and hopefully have a later OS installed. But I have a brand new Pre here, I don't want a refurbed one. They suggested I take it to a sprint reapir center but there are none in my area.
Finally, I activated a refurbed Pixi on my Sprint acount (different number) just a couple days earlier and it was an earlier OS version (not sure which) and that received an OTA update just fine. So it seems HP is still providing updates from earlier WebOS versions (at least before they announced they were no longer supporting WebOS hardware). Is it just that mine is too old? That would really be unfortunate.
Anyone have a similar experience or info from HP? I can't imagine there are too many people activating brand new Sprint Palm Pres from 2 years ago...

This question was solved.
View Solution.

I would not take it in for repair. I would use webOS Doctor 1.4.5 on it to install webOS 1.4.5, rather than trying to get it to upgrade.
Download the Doctor here to your computer: http://palm.cdnetworks.net/rom/pre/p145r0d08102010/spr1ntp145rod/webosdoctorp100ewwsprint.jar
Run webOS Doctor. Keep clicking Next until you can go no further, or to the point where webOS Doctor is requesting you to connect your phone.
We now need to place your phone in USB mode. To do this first turn off your phone. Now power it on while holding the Volume Up button. After a few moments a black screen with the USB symbol should show up. Now, connect the Pre to your computer via USB cable.
After a few minutes you should be able to click Next on webOS Doctor. This will start the webOS install.
Keep in mind you will lose all application data, it's like reformatting and reinstalling Windows or OSX or Linux on a desktop computer. However, if you have saved photos, mp3s, other data onto your Pre, those files will remain intact. They will not be lost.

How do I install Firefox mobile to my Palm Pixie Pro?

I have a Palm Pixie Pro. I'd like to use firefox on my mobile. But it's not an iphone, blackberry nokia....... So how do I download it. I've used it on my desktop for many years.

There's no official version of Firefox for HP webOS phones like the Palm Pixi Pro. However, there is an unofficial experimental version here: http://www.fractalbrew.com/labs/prefox/
This is from an old project to bring Firefox to webOS. I don't know if it works on the Pixi Pro. The project needs more webOS developers in order to continue.

Streaming audio on Palm Pixi

Is it possible to listen to streaming audio from a website on the Palm Pixi? I tried to listen to live audio from a radio station website and it wouldn't play. Do I need to download a player?

Hello and welcome to the forums;
WebOS devices support streaming music from websites, as long as the station streams in a supported audio format: MP3, AAC, or AAC+.
When you try to stream the site, what happens? Do you get an error?

Connection between Palm Pixie Plus and Photosmart "wireless" printer.

I've had the palm Pixie Plus from Verizon...I was having no problems connecting to my laptops(2) and my Hewlett-Packerd Photosmart printer..until Palm Pixie Plus went into an update and now the printer does not communcate with the 2 laptops making it useless to us as a wireless. Neither Palm Pixie nor H/P printer can find a solution.
We've been on the phone with techs now for 4 days and countless cell phone minutes. Neither wants to accept blame. We've tried just about EVERYTHING.

HP Palm Pixi Plus Data Plan?

Does the Palm Pixi Plus use the same 29.99 unlimited data plan as Android/iOS/WP7? I'm wondering if I'll be able to keep my unlimited data plan when upgrading from my Pixi Plus to the Bionic in the future.

I'm pretty sure you can....I'm doing the same thing, except I'm using a Palm Pre Plus....

Lost the Touchscreen Features on Palm Pixi

Good HP Support colleagues,
I have lost the Touch screen capability on my Palm Pixi device. I have tried to reset back to factory settings as advised through this forum and am now presented with Just Restart or Erase All Data and I am unable to get past this screen given the inability to touchscreen either command. Is it a case that my device is doomed? Welcome a response to confirm or deny and what the next course of action is? thanks in advance
Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

Try pressing the following keys at the same time:
Opt - Sym - R
This should initiate a restart.
Another way to restart is pressing and holding the Power button, then slide the ringer switch back and forth 3 times.
These are covered in a sticky post at the top of this section of the forum entitled "WebOS Key Combinations"

ETF on Palm Pixi

Hello, first of all I would like to apologize if this question has been asked before, though I haven't been able to find anything on this in the search,
I own a Palm Pixi. I am wanting to end my contract early to go on another persons contract (Keep in mind that I am on a Family Share Plan, but not the primary), and was wondering how much the ETF would be to opt out early. I got the phone back in July when it was free with a new two year contract. I saw two different prices, the $175, and the $350 so I just need to know which I am under.
Thank you,
- SlipperyNutt.

If the account you're joining is NOT a VzW account (read: changing carriers), your ETF would be $350 minus $10 for each month of service since you got your Pixi. You'll be billed through the remainder of your current bill cycle (it WILL NOT prorate your final month of service, you're paying for the whole thing)
If the account you're joining is another VzW account, you don't have to pay any ETF, just call customer service, ask them to authorize an Assumption of Liability to grant permission for the other person to take over your line. Once you've done that, have them call 1(888)832-4540 to complete the AoL. There's no charge for this, the new account owner inherits your existing number, device, contract, and upgrade date, and your account stops paying for the line the day it transfers, whereas their account starts paying for the line the same day (it prorates).
