[/QUOTE] UPDATE - undid the tweaks in webos quickinstall 2.6 and now no icons in launcher and only white at the top. guess curiosity killed my phone.[/QUOTE]


I got the solid white across the top a couple weeks ago, when I tried to install the Battery % tweak on 1.1. Tried rebooting and all. Had to uninstall the tweak to fix it.

Do I need to get rid of my Theme and and FileCoaster before I download the WebOs update?

I guess I am confused on what I need to get rid of to prevent the Pre from locking up

The only things I have done is add a theme and added file coaster and then downloaded some of the home brew apps but I have not done anything more then that. Do I need to do anything special before updating?

[awrnsmn]

You can keep filecoaster and apps. Just get rid of the theme and any tweeks.

According to Jason, ver. 2.6 is not compatible with 1.2. He hopes to have a 1.2-compatible version by the end of the week.

Is there any way to get rid of the theme without the cord? I don't have it with me.

After installing update, the touchscreen does not work at all.

I thought maybe I needed to restart but I can't even do that because I need to choose to turn off/airplane mode/cancel with the touchscreen.

This is pretty bad - my phone is basically unusable at this time. Any advice?

UPDATE: It is just working now. Touchscreen was unresponsive for about 20 minutes this morning, and then I looked again and it is all fine. Mysterious!!!

every time i try to apply a tweak this is the error that I get. Are they not working yet? Tried to apply the 4x4 tweak and had to whip my phone. What am I doing wrong?

I may have missed someone elses post in here, but I saw alot of people asking about My Tether, and 1.2 earlier in the forum.

I am using the paid version of MY Tether, on my 1.2 updated phone. I am posting this message via laptop on wifi, through My Tether, so yeah wifi My Tether works, at least on the paid version.

Don't worry about it, tons of people have updated with all their tweaks and themes still in place, they just get overwritten.

Uhhh ohh do a search and download it asap. Good Luck

Use webOSdoctor and reinstall 1.2. Might help. Go into the homebrew pages and read on how to do it and what you need to download. I would post links but I can't yet.

I downloaded 1.2 yesterday, and the phone restarted without issue. I was happy with the snappier speed, and satisfied overall. I continued to use the phone normally, and connected it to the charger before going to bed.

This morning I woke up, took the phone off the charger, and it told me I was signed out of my profile, and that I needed to sign back in. I went through the entire process, and now 90% of my NOTES and CALENDAR and TASK items are gone!

Palm shouldn't be telling us they're saving our files in the "cloud", if they're not saving ALL our files in the cloud!!! And if they're going to erase our files by forcing us out of our profile, WARN US SO WE CAN SAVE OUR STUFF!!!

Wow, I can't believe the lack of consideration. Is that what this is? Or should the title of this post read "CLOUD STORAGE FAIL"? Not sure what others have experienced, but this really hoses me as I use my notes, calendar and tasks religiously to manage my life... which is what I thought we were supposed to be using the phone for.

My contacts are gone too. Just noticed that.. I figured my homebrew would be gone, but my contacts??

Should all this stuff be in the "cloud", and just didn't get loaded to my phone? In which case maybe Sprint could do a re-load? Or do you think it just didn't get saved to the cloud?? My photos are there..

[Saltcreep]

Oops, double posted somehow.. sorry.

[MSchmidt9]

So I am okay? I don't need to worry about getting rid of anything then?

Ha, I wish I could say I was smarter than that... but, I did the same thing. Then I tried to just tap on the down arrow and I noticed the menu kind of "bump" up a bit.

Then it hit me, I'm an idiot.

the swoosh sound when throwing the card away and the picture snap are both very low in volume. I likes the loud flash sound when taking a picture. And the swoosh amuses my 5 yr old. He opens the phone dialer just to throw it away

It causes me to lose my spot on the pages when I go back to them, and I have to wait for it to load in order to view the page again, which takes up even more time. If I want a refresh, I'll do it myself. I had noticed this occuring before the update, but it was very rare for me. Now it's everytime I switch between pages.
I am done being a Palm apologist. I bought a ton of stock when the pre was first unveiled, I stood in line to buy it on release day, I looked past the build issues, the lack of apps, and even got my brother and two friends to leave their carriers and come over to Sprint for the pre. I have tried to teach myself programming so I could participate in the fantastic homebrew development environment. I am sick and tired of hearing excuses for Palm about the half-azzed updates they are giving us. There is absolutely no excuse for this phone not to have the functionality that the homebrewers have opened up. And this "update" gives me what? The ability to switch off data??? Notifications on the lock screen??? Where are the standard features that should've been here from the start? Video recording, text-forwarding, a decent media player (why does it take DanPLC to create a good version of a music player?)
And now I find that to close the launcher pages, they've changed it from swiping down to swiping up. W...T...F? Way to prioritize Palm. Leave the real problems alone, and make a counter-intuitive change to a feature that was working fine, but now makes absolutely no sense. Why did you have to make this change, instead on concentrating on the actual issues that are dragging the phone down.
I don't know. Do you think Palm is just f'n with us? Maybe reading these forums, and saying to themselves, "Man, I bet it would **** them off if we did this!!!" I really can't think of any more excuses for these guys. Can you?

I just updated and funny thing is I can't get it to happen again. When it happened before the update I never lost my place on a page nor did it ever take more than a sec. To refreshso I thought it a clever feature. I think we were seeing different things. These are thing I noticed after the update

FAIRLY NEW PRE NO HACKS OR HOMEBREW

I only got the one update (79mb)

Things are quicker overall on my Pre (i.e. cards opening and closing, switching between cards, web scroll quicker, etc.)

PDF app has been moved from built-in apps to downloaded apps (version # the same), this may have something to do with newness some have seen.

Nascar went from 1.14 to 1.15
Clock from 1.1 to 1.2
NFL from 1.25 to 1.26
Help from 1.0.21 to 1.2
Phone from 1.1 to 1.2
I think Nav and sprint tv changed as well (not sure, I don't remember seeing them before)

That's what I'm saying.
