Does anyone know of another way of moving an icon to a different page?

empty the icons that are ion the bottom of the screen, then move apps to the bottom then move the page then put the app in the other screen that's it

Faigee

plug up the usb to the phone then while the usb is still connected to the phone plug it to your computer, if it won't work the first time try it again this works for me

I realize I'm about 2 years late on getting into the palm data plan world (just upgraded to a pixi with a mandatory data plan 2 months ago - have been loving my centro for 3+ years & was fine without the data plan, but when my centro finally kicked the bucket, I tried using an lg rumor & griped constantly for 3 months til I broke down & got my pixi with the data plan - and am LOVING IT!!!)

Anyway, the point is that since I'm so behind on these tips posts I was reluctant to mention that none of the files I've downloaded are working. Adobe says they are corrupted. I have been copying & pasting for an hour now to try to get the info in one place. Soooo . . . when I came across the above links, and they worked, I was thrilled. Not cool if they are not giving credit to this site - not cool at all, but I now have a working file.

Tap background a second time to go back to regular card view

Thank you for the reminder. I did this accidentally one time & then could not figure out how to magically make it happen again.

I really wish Palm would allow you to customize the autocorrect feature, but I guess that's a post for another thread.

Thanks for this insight as to how to have palm NOT auto correct "u" "r" "y" etc.
my new recipe for using text-ease, thanks to you:
ex:
to get the desired result

Y r u ... laughing @ me??? instead of Why are you ...

1) type "Y', did not autocorrect - Yayyyy
2) type "r", space (auto's to are), backspace, then space again===> r stays "r"
3) type "u", space (auto's to you), backspace, then space again===> u stays "u"

May seem like a pain, but I don't mind as at least I can now get the desired smarty britches text sent - lol. (Just doesn't have the same sass when it comes out "Why are you laughing @ me???") IMHO

Laughing at myself right now.

I just tried this tip and
a) discovered that just swiping a message magically unhides the delete option - totally cool as I hadn't seen that before, and
b) your tip about the consecutive swiping will delete each message without having to hit the delete button each time - totally worked for me,

. . . so I got excited & had just opened this reply box when it occurred to me - girl, when do you ever delete anything, except by accident - lol. Seriously, I have texts in my centro from 2006ish - no joke - so . . . then says I, how was I able to test this little tip so carelessly? Well, funny you should ask as I had just sent myself several texts testing out other tips from this site, so I had a few frivolous messages to work with.

Still shakin my head at myself that I was successful in figuring out a function I will most likely never use.

Shift-Enter will jump you to the next field when you're editing a record, in say, Contacts, or SplashID. Now I have to figure out how to jump backwards...
