App catalog does not display anything
Hi,
Just bought a Pre Plus, but the App Catalog doesn't show any apps at all. I'm guessing this is because the Pre hasn't been officially released in my country (India), but if that's true its quite a bummer. Is there any way i can get around this? |

What version of webOS are you running? Perhaps updating to at least 1.4.1.1 will solve the problem.

Two ways, either wait for Palm to get their act together or use third party programs to download and install apps via your computer.
Check my signature and if you still want to wait, thats fine.  You can download the free apps with a Java program called IPK Fetcher 2. I havent used the program in ages so im not sure if it handles installation on its own nowadays or if you also need WebOS Quick Install (another tool). I got tired fiddling with installation that way, sort of lost interest in that area of WebOS due to Palms attitude of blocking us in foreign countries. Anyway im sure someone else on this great forum will fill that info in regarding the tools needed. Btw, try looking in the Pre GSM section for more info.

There is no solution. The app catalog is tied to the country of first activation. If you activated the device in India then you will not have access to the app catalog as that is not one of the countries we sell apps through.
