• Multi-task on Palm Pre does not work

  Hi all

  I was under the impression that it was possible on the Palm Pre multitasking.

  When I start a spring Radio channel and launch a different application of the radio channel stops - unfortunately.

  No idea what's wrong here? Of course, a radio app should be able to run in the background.

  Thank you!

  Hello Sapag and thanks for posting...

  When Sprint TV's request was written, the multi tasking was not enabled on the application itself.  This is partly by design.  Radio and video streaming strongly uses the battery.  In addition, the deployment of the device limited the amount of time developers had to tweek the current application for the Pre.  Remember, this is the first true multi-tasking OS for a mobile device.  As time passes, additional patches will be correct and/or add functionality to the device and apps built into the ROM.

  Thanks for the comments and keep the questions coming...

  Thank you

• Brand New in Box Palm Zire will not charge!

  Help! I just bought 5 new Palm Zires (NOT of Zire 21)

  and they do not pay! I loaded 3 of them for 3 hours

  as it said in the manual and when I unplugged the

  sector they are turned off immediately! Please help, I can't

  the means of the Palm trees today and a battery change

  It would be too costly. (I live in Singapore and the only

  avalible batteries are on eBay and the

  delivery + price of batteries is more than what the

  Total cost of the Zires are! ) Please help!

  The old "battery reset" procedure was to connect the charger, then press the Reset button at the back.

  Let charge for a few hours, then check.  If still no joy, I would say that they have been roasted.

• Palm Pre: Server generic Pop authentication errors

  
  

  Ok.. I have more information on that. Tonight, I tried all settings using the WiFi. Since I have Cox as my ISP, I use smtp.central.cox.net as your outgoing mail server, no matter what the Server enter I use or address email that I want in the field "from". Cox blocked all outgoing traffic on port 25, unless it is intended for one of their SMTP servers. Well, to my amazement, as long as I put in the Server SMTP of Cox, it worked. Able to send and receive emails pop. So, which made me think. Maybe, just maybe, it's the same for the Sprint (but why would it? "Maybe the Pre is on a new attribution of IP of style and rules?)

  So I tried. I logged in my sprint.com. Clicked on 'my tools online' and I went to "Create/change password" for "Email Server Password" under "productivity tools". To my surprise, it let me enter a password and actually saved it.

  The strange thing is that he entered my e-mail address as "null". In other words, there is no e-mail address assigned. It is more than likely because "PCS mail" has been removed from characteristics of Sprints for a while now. But I thought since it was saved to a password, there probably used my NAI as the email address. So, I changed the server out to info:

  Outgoing server: smtp.sprintpcs.com
  Use authentication: Yes
  Username: [email protected] (find it in your "device Info"-> 'more Info'-> 'NAI' (bottom))
  Password: * (whatever you place for sub tools online @ sprint.com)
  Port: 25
  Encryption: no

  And boom... worked. Sync'd fine... This raises a question, however: if I turn on the WiFi with smtp.sprintpcs.com listed as outgoing server, COX will block this message. It will allow traffic to send to smtp.sprintpcs.com on port 25. It should be set to go to smtp.central.cox.net. I think that the only real fix for that is to have Sprint (or is this Palm block in the software routing tables? You routers try 'iptables' if it is available. See if they are down on port 25 traffic if it is not intended to smtp.sprintpcs.com). unblock port 25 traffic.

  More to come... I hope that I get more help on this issue, or have a few Palm expert chime in.

  Ok... I thought that more...

  Since they block port 25, in some form or fasion, it is time to try port 465 (SSL). Welp, that works very well without having to use the shit SPRINT above. The problem with my ISP COX configuration was the SMTP Protocol. CENTRAL. COX.NET is the same as SMTP. EAST. COX.NET... which means the same IP, same machine. Well, that throws the SSL certificate. When the first tries to connect to SMTP. CENTRAL, he expects what he is the response from the server. NOPE... He would give his address as SMTP. EAST. So I changed my outgoing SMTP settings. EAST. COX.NET, use Auth: on, Cox username, password Cox, Port 465, SSL. Alto! Worked! It works through my WiFi as well since it is an outgoing Cox server.

  With regard to my pop server personal, same thing. I had a problem with the SSL certificate is not properly. I fixed that and bingo, it worked as well on port 465. So, in conclusion, it seems that Palm has a kind of firewall software running (I guess Iptables) is a drop in traffic on port 25 which is not intended for smtp.sprintpcs.com. Why? Not a clue. Or, Sprint has assigned a new IP range/policy to the GER that prevents the traffic from port 25 is not intended for smtp.sprintpcs.com. Again, I think it's more the (Palm) Pre do not Sprint.

  Now that I have this problem to the top. I'm out! Afterwards!

• Palm needs to send a Palm Pre to Nissan for tests - as soon as possible!

  I just talk with Patrick in support Bluetooth for Nissan Consumer Affairs at 1-800-647-726.  The Palm ONLY phone currently presented to the test is the Treo Pro!  Use this link to check: http://www.nissanusa.com/bluetooth/find.html . This Bluetooth group covers both Nissan & Infiniti cars.  Patrick explained the process as follows:

  1. Phone manufacturer sends the phone to Nissan for the test
  2. Nissan engineers is preparing a report for the manufacturer of phones, identify the changes required
  3. Phone manufacturer issues a patch for the phone.

  Currently, the Palm Pre is not yet in step 1!  Palm needs to send a meadow to Nissan for the test. As soon as possible!!!

  99% solved.  I still occasional static, but the connection is stable and strong.  Several other Nissan/system owners also posted positive results after the upgrade to version 1.2.  Good luck!

• Google Contacts do not appear to sync or not all download on my Palm Pre contacts

  UPDATE (with solution):

  @darqmatter noted:

  No amount of purging of contacts has worked for me. I had to remove all instances of contacts with special characters in names (I had 3 symbol #). After that, and 10 minutes from time to analyze contacts, number of contacts read the same thing as "My Contacts" on Google. See also: http://forums.palm.com/t5/webOS-Software/Google-sync-partial/m-p/259891/highlight/false

  This was confirmed by @spouse1775: SOLVED! I searched my google contacts for #, & and *.

  It seems that synergy has a problem with the contacts that contain characters such as #, & and *. I don't know that there are others. I don't know if it is only in the name field or other fields in a contact as well, but it is a start.

  Hello Palm, this is a bug. This must be fixed. Contacts should be able to contain these characters.

  ORIGINAL MESSAGE:

  I struggled with this for hours. The new information that I added to a contact on my Palm Pre (my default Google account setup program) do not seem to update my Google matching online contacts. Try to solve the problem, I've completely wiped out my phone and started around. When my account completely downloaded the Google contacts to my pre, I noticed that many of the contacts came down. Whenever I deleted and added the Google account, the same number of contacts came down, always less than the total amount.

  After reading a few posts, I found that others understand that spurious characters in a Google contact cause synchronization problems. So, I exported my Google contacts in Outlook CSV files so Google CSV and imported into a blank Google account. Add each of the new Google account on my Pre came back with a number different contacts downloaded, but always lower total online.

  Finally, I figured out that export a vCard out of Google Contacts "cleaned" information. When I exported all of my Google Contacts vCard file and imported into a blank Google account, Google downloaded on my pre perfectly all the contacts in this new account and synchronization now seems to work again.

  NOTE: the vCard DO NOT maintain the designation of Group contact Google. You need to export a vCard by group and import them into Google by specifying the group in which you want to import the contacts.

  I hope this helps. No need to erase your phone or delete your backup profile.

  It worked for me:

  Steps to follow:

  1. remove your Google contacts from your Palm Pre app account

  2. sign in to your Google account and access Contacts

  3 export contacts by choosing "Who do you want to export?" and select "vCard file" for "what export format?

  4. save a file of all contacts or a file by group

  5 remove all contacts in your Google account online

  6 import the vCard in your Google account files, assign to the Group during the import phase, if applicable

  7. Add your Google account as an account in the contacts application on your Palm Pre

  No amount of purging of contacts has worked for me. I had to remove all instances of contacts with special characters in names (I had 3 symbol #). After that, and 10 minutes from time to analyze contacts, number of contacts read the same thing as "My Contacts" on Google.

• Palm Pre Contacts Export profile

  HOW DO I? I've looked everywhere and have not yet find the solution for this. I'm trying to move my contacts from my palm pre profile in my gmail contacts. (too many to manually move them)

  I tried setting gmail as the default profile and see if that would be synch and drop them, but this does not work.

  I tried chapura, but it does not work. It does not move/synch "palm pre profile" contacts to the profile pocketmirror or echo. And companionlink software would not either according to their chart and the description of how it works (it syncs with gmail only profile is not pre).

  Is it possible to export these contacts or change something they appear under contact profile?

  I'm not familiar with what looks like the palm desktop csv file, but perhaps you could open the file and edit it so that there a file header "appropriate". More or less ike MS suggests to do here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810930. I don't know how many columns/fields has the csv file, but add the names of column/field that make sense. In regards to phone numbers, I would like to add the word "telephone" for the name of the field as follows, "Telephony", "Work phone", etc. You can also add some other names field if you know that all of your contacts have the same type of data in this document as "spouse", "children", or whatever. One thing I would do, is ensure that, after you change the file with excel, do you a "save under" Windows CSV and give the file a different name. (I found that other csv export applications were not formatting the file correctly and I couldn't she imported contacts google.) Then use the newly created csv file to import into google contacts.

  What about my situation, I finally got my contacts exported from the Palm Pre having to access Linux OS on the phone, copy the file PalmDatabase from the phone at my desk, querying the file of database using SQLite and use it to export the contacts into a CSV file that I then manipulated and used for import into Google. It was not fun.

• EAS Activesync Palm Pre not syncing of calendar in Outlook items

  I just read a few messages that sound like they have the same problem I have.  I had the Palm Pre since June 6 and had absolutely no problem with EAS - NONE!  Has worked flawlessly!  However, today, I noticed that a calendar entry that I did on my pre was not appearing on Outlook (and Exchange accessed from the web).  Well well, after several soft resets, the removal and the reinstallation of my Exchange account, a hard reset and try the tip to the topic to manually set the time zone, I had no chance.  All emails, contacts are fine sync, forth - quite instantly, I might add!  And, if I add/remove/change an Outlook entry, my Pre is updated Pronto!  The only items not syncing entered calendar made from the front.  I don't know why it has become an issue all of a sudden.  I really hope someone can help!  Palm: Please help!

  Thank you

  Joseph

• Palm Pre screen does not

  I bought my Palm Pre July 4, 2009.  The phone was working today and when I got home I plugged it to load.  I come back an hour later and the screen would not activate.  I tried to put off tension.  I removed the battery.  The screen is not on yet.  I contacted a Sprint store, they referred me to a repair center that was closed.  Sprint customer service referred me to my insurance, but the phone was not damaged.  They gave me a 1-800 number, but a message said I would be charged since the phone was spent 90 days old.  How can I get warranty repair/replacement?

  It was not corrupted should it be covered by the warranty. Palm tech support online at 877-426-3777.

• New Palm used Palm Pre profile

  Hello

  I bought a used Palm Pre (Movistar, YOU) and now want to create a new Palm profile so I can use the phone in Australia (Optus, at THE).

  How to set up a new Palm profile on this phone?

  He is currently running WebOS 1.4

  Thank you

  Nick

  Regarding the hacks and things of this nature, it is something that we cannot help here.

  Since the unit locked up on screen language then we would need to restart the device. If this does not resolve the issue, then you will need to use webOS Doctor on the device. Reason for this step is there is no way at this stage of the journal of the unit to do a partial/full erase.

• SMS does not work with T - Mobile CZ and Palm Pre

  Hi, here is my problem:

  I bought a Palm Pre from the Germany. Everything works fine, but there is problem with sending messages. I tried to ask in the Czechs, precentral forums or my carrier and no answer has solved this problem. So I ask the heart of the problem, the Palm developers.

  There are guides to get or modify certain parameters of the carrier, but without any documentation. I see in \usr\lib\luna\CarrierNetworkSettings.db3 and /var/luna/data/CarrierNetworkSettings.db3 for my carrier this line:

  

  And IMHO it should be the highlighted area in the smscNumber column. I tried to change, but nothing worked.

  I tried this phone with my friends by CZ Vodafone and O2 CZ SIM cards and everything worked very well. The problem is only mind combination with T-Mobile.

  I also downloaded new ROM of Palm.com/ROM and it has the same values.

  And my carrier: there is not much info on the configuration of the parameters of phones, but the number highlighted should be ok.

  And of course the error message. There are screenshots:

   

  So guys, what do you think about this? Where is the problem? How to solve it? Can anyone help? Are there any other DB where phone reads the parameters?

  Yes. My Palm Pre has been activated with my Czech SIM T-Mobile without problems and App catalog works as well.

  Edit: And here's problem at the main post resulution: I ask the new sim card (I had an old since the time of Paegas (10 years ago)) and everything is now ok.

• Palm Pre Touchscreen works do not at all

  My touchscreen palm pre is completely insensitive... I can't do anything at all...
  things I've tried:
  -remove the battery for 1 min or more (maybe max 10 minutes)
  -tried WebOS Doctor to restore (did not work said "cannot restore")

  I'm really scared its broken for good. the last time it worked was this morning. I upgraded 1.2.1 nite last and then this morning I tried to open an application (and I did not pass the loadup screen) I hope that did nothing. then after I turned it off...  I tried to turn it on and use the touchscreen and it did not work at all. I want to know if my warranty covers replacement (I was on sprint for more than 30 days) and that so I have to pay anything. someone can give me a solution to my problem with touchscreen or should I just get a replacement

  Please contact palm tech support online at the 877-426-3777. they can help you to test your device to see if it is broken or not.

  If it's broken, then you must submit for repair. the cost of repair is free, since your unit is still under warranty of 1 year.

  You can also opt to view sprint for replacement since they changed their policy of 30 days warranty for 1 year.
