Palm Pre GPS (SPRINT)

When I am using the GPS my battery does not charge when I have it plugged in.  So when I am on long trips the phone goes off.  Is there any way to set it so the battery will charge when using GPS?

Could ya tell me the output rating of that charger?  Sprint Navigation could use ALOT of power, based on your data coverage and how well a GPS signal you have,  so might be a possibility that the charger is no longer keeping up with output demands of the service running on the phone.

  • Palm Pre for Sprint Data Back Up Problem

    I am having issues with data back up with my Palm Pre for Sprint - Palm webOS 1.4.1.1
    I have the setting set so "On" so the data is set to back up automatically to my Palm Profile every day, however it has not backed up automatically since June 5th.  I just noticed this today (June 17th), and I have tried today to manually back up the data by choosing "Back Up Data Now" button, but the screen just gets hung up indefinitely with a note saying "Preparing" without ever backing the data up.
    On a related note, between June 6th & June 10th I took a trip to Canada where my phone was International Roaming - so I can understand why it might not back under those circumstances - but I returned to the US on June 10th and it has not backed up automatically since and it does not appear that it is able to back up manually either.
    Has anyone had a similar issue or know what I might do to remedy this?

  • Touch screen froze on 3 consecutive palm pre's within about a 5 month span

    My wife has a palm pre through sprint nextel. The first one lasted 4 days and screen froze up.  Sprint tech personnel at store could not fix phone or determine cause of the frozen screen. The sprint retail store replaced the phone. We took this phone and used it up until late August when yet again the screen froze just prior to our vacation. Hastily, we took it to a local authorized third party store, Wireless Co.  Their repair personnel looked at the phone and yet again could not determine the cause.  They replaced it as well with a refurbished phone. This third phone finally froze just like the previous two on 27DEC09. We took it to the sprint store the next day.  The techs looked at it decided that it was due to a liquid/subtance under the back cover just above the battery.  They refused to replace the phone a third time.  They offered only that (a) we use our insurance plan or (b) trade the phone in and renew our two year contract to get a discounted phone.  These phones have never been submersed in any liquid. The tech rep at the sprint store suggested humidity from being in the bathroom could have caused the problem. I paid full price for the first phone.  I don't think I need to point out I am a bit disappointed with the palm pres lifespan. If only sprint had the iphone.  The HTC hero or the instinct seem like our best alternatives now.  I dont think I will even consider the pixi.

  • Palm Pre continually dropping connection on Sprint

    Summary: Continually cycling between great connection and no service.
    I am in what I would suspect is a dense coverage area, and according to Sprint it is, in the Seattle area.  I bought a pre this morning, and have watched it continue to bop between Phone Offline/No Service/Sprint all day long. It will go from full bars and EV to Nothing, and back again... repeatedly... all day.  I drove all over town to make sure I was not in dead zones... I came home and hooked up to my wireless, and installed the 1.0.2 update.  Same issue.
    Do I have a defective radio?  Are there diagnostics I can run.  This has been like Christmas... except my presents are all socks... and the socks are all on fire.
    Thank for any help!
    Myron

    Hi MryonM,
    Welcome to the Palm forums! That is defintely not how the radio should be behaving in a good coverage area. Since you already did the update, here's some diagnostics you can run:
    Open up the Device Info app
    Tap More Info
    Tap the menu in the top left
    Select Quick Tests
    Run that and see what happens. If the diagnostic reports no problems and you still experience this issue, it might be time to call Sprint.

  • Retrieve Contacts from Sprint Palm Pre

    I need to retrieve my contacts and data from my sprint Palm Pre.   The device took a dip in the water and I have decided on going with something different. 
    How can I retrieve all the contacts from the device and transfer to the new phone?
    Help would be much appreciated!
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I have a similar situation. Lost my Palm Pre, decided on a different (not webOS) phone, want to transfer as much info as I can.
    I saw the response saying you have to log in using a webOS phone. But what do you do next? Can you point me to a set of instructions for how to access Contacts and any other info I might be able to retrieve?

  • Hotmail "Next Update in 0 Minutes" Error with Sprint Palm Pre

    I've been having this problem only with my Hotmail account on my Sprint Palm Pre. For a time my Pre will sync just fine with Hotmail and I will receive my emails. Then it starts not to sync at all. It has an error message that says "Next update in 0 minutes."  I've restarted my phone and I've deleted and readded my Hotmail account, I've updated my PRL a gazillion times (it used to work, but not today!! , but the problem still happens.
    This doesn't happen with my gmail account, but Hotmail's been my primary for a loooong time. If there's anything you know about why this is happening I'll keep my Hotmail account. But if this keeps going on I'll have to delete my account and switch to gmail.
    Please advise as soon as possible. I know I'm not the only Pre/Hotmail user with this problem.  Thanks!

  • Palm pre availability on sprint network.

    I'm having the hardest time finding a palm pre in stores. The stores(radio shack,sprint) telling palm stop shipping the Pre. What gives Are they gonna release a Pre plus  for sprint?

    Try to restart the phone by holding the power button and moving the ringer switch 3 times.
    This will "reboot" your phone and then see if you get the same screen. 
    If that doesn't work, you can try to put the phone in USB drive mode by pressing Option + Sym + U.

  • 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...

    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.

  • Palm Pre USB - host and client?

    I see a lot of posts about using USB Mode to transfer files between a PC and the Palm Pre, but is it possible to connect a USB hard drive or flash drive directly to the Pre to do file transfers to/from the phone?  The Palm website says that the Pre has "USB mass storage support", which could suggest that it could act as a host, as well as a client for USB data transfers.  I have used the Treo 650, and was eagerly awaiting an updated PalmOS phone that would add WiFi, GPS, A2DP Bluetooth capabilities, and EVDO Rev.A speeds, all of which the Pre offers, but no expandable memory via an SD (or MicroSD) slot!  I would love to go back to a PalmOS, and get away from Windows (I switched to the 800w just before the Pre was launched, to get these features), but it looks like I might just end up going to Android (where Sprint's HTC Hero and Samsung Moment have SD card slots)...

    No the device is only the client. The statement "USB mass storage support" is meant to be that the device is used as a storage device only.
    While your not the first to request the Pre have this function I do suggest that you leave feedback here: www.palm.com/feedback

  • Can I get the voice over Bluetooth with Google Map on WEBOS 2.0 (Palm Pre 2)?

    Hi,
    I just got a Palm Pre 2 with WEBOS 2.0, I am wondering if there is a setup or an application that can provide/enable the GPS voice over bluetooth when using the direction from the Google Map?
    Post relates to: Pre 2 p102una (Rogers)

    Hello Danmtl,
    If what you are referring to is being able to use a Bluetooth headset for Google Maps voice navigation, then you're in for disappointment. Google Maps w/ Navigation is only available for Android devices at this point in time, although there are talks of Google allowing the service to be placed on Windows Phone 7. As for the WebOS lineup, your only options for voice navigation would be either Verizon's VZ Navigator or Spint's Sprint Navigation. Either of those would require that you had purchased the phone specifically from that provider, so no luck for you there.
    Looks like we're all waiting on Google to step in for us at this point in time!

  • Palm Pre - MP3 Playback skips

    Haven't had any troubles with mp3 playback on my Palm Pre until yesterday. Every song I listen to skips intermittently.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    I only had 2 or 3 other cards open at the time of the malfunction (gps, email, phone, and music player). Would that be enough to cause this? I understand that memory is memory, but since multitasking is the cornerstone of the device's design philosophy I think it's fair to expect 4 or so apps to all work at the same time.
    That said, I usually have something closer to 8 apps open, and that has never affected my listening experience.

  • Multiple Google calendars on one account no longer sync with Palm Pre

    Since the WebOS update in early Sept., the multiple Google Calendars that I own and which appeared on my Pre have disappeared.  I'm left only with the default account calendar.  The calendars which had appeared on the phone are still there in the pull-down menu on the upper right, so if I CREATE an event in a calendar on the phone, it's pushed to Google and then to my desktop calendar (iCal).  However, events which I create in different Google calendars are NOT pushed to my Pre.  This makes the Pre more than useless.  The best feature was Synergy and now it's broken.
    I can work around by copying each event (I teach college and each subject's course calendar is listed publicly so that students can subscribe, and I can keep track of multiple subject due dates) to my default account.  That means that I have duplicate events listed in different calendars on Google, but only one event gets pushed to the Pre.  The other workaround is to use the browser to check my Google calendar, but it's not as convenient as using the calendar function of the phone.  And, where's the Synergy???
    I really need a solution.  Before the update, the multiple Google calendar events all appeared on my phone and desktop and Google and I was very happy.  I hate this new situation.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Hello Sdswmr and welcome to the Palm forums.
    I'm not seeing this issue on my Pre with webOS 1.4.5 installed.  If I create a calendar event, and select one of my other Google Calendars, that event is pushed to the correct calendar and I see it in Apple's iCal.  Similarly, if I create a new event in iCal, it shows up correctly on my Pre.
    Have you tried removing all of your Google accounts and readding them?  What other troubleshooting have you done?
