hey guys,
i too am on my 3rd pre in idont know 7 days.
i had the the same problem with palm profile, spent 2 hours on the fon with sprint/palm, got disconected twice twice hahahah twice. ok im ok.
the exact problem was not ever discoved but i
1 wiped my fon to default
sync fon to google, while creating a new palm profile with a dif email, then the google contact sunk to palm ( not sure about that b/c we cant see the palm database nor can cc tell me if there is even data in the file DONT get me started)
now the fon is sunk?? all my calanders and contacts have repopulated.

hope it helps
btw the hinge on my new pre squeaks and has bounce in the corner meaning the whole assembly moves like a bb touch screen WEAK
may go htc hero or samsung android

peace

I had that same problem when I got my fiance her replacement. What you need to do is make sure your contacts are sync'd to Google in the future. Doing that means you just log in to your Google account through the contacts app and it will pull your contacts back to your phone.

Same problem here. I lost all my contacts, 9 of 10 memos, and 12 of 13 tasks. I tried multiple resets, partial erases, and full erases to no avail. Still haven't found a solution.

I lost memo's and task, also tried numerous resets, Web OS Doc and still can't get them back. My contacts and calendar info are on Google, so all those synced back without a problem. For some reason, it appears to have only restored the last few memo's or task right before the update, and when the update was out, I made sure to go in and backup everything before I installed the new update..

No contacts here, just like Bigchris, last 2 contacts entered before the update are the only 2 showing up. HELP!

I talked to a guy at my local Sprint store today. He said Palm has had an outage since yesterday. He also didnt know when this issue would be resolved. I also spoke to a palm rep via palm chat. He couldnt give me a straight answer when this would be fixed, if it would be fixed or if I would ever see my palm profile data again....

I really need my memos too. It sucks we have to depend on palm to store/backup our data. I wish the pre would have come with a backup cd like the treo/centro.

I too lost all my contacts, memos, and tasks after doing a WebOS doctor on the phone to 1.2.1 and connecting to my Palm Profile. It says I only have 2 contacts the two Sprint ones...

I did a Palm Backup from my phone last night...

Should I disable backup for now?

I wish you could see EXACTLY what was backed up in Palm Profile... instead all it shows is your login information and security question online...

Sucks I apparently lost all my tasks, memos, and contacts.... hopefully their server is just down and the data is not lost...

I agree, that would make things a lot easier to go back and get info.. I'm hoping all is not lost..
