(time stamp patch i am working with is the "clean" version"

GUT46** yes the picture scrolling is absolutely atrocious to what it once was, so much slower. It is as if the picture waits until it focuses to let you swipe to the next one.

go Palm!!

Just discovered this myself (after downloading 1.3.5.1). Very glad to see this change (an improvement for me), as I had come to hate copying/forwarding texts because of having to always remove the useless timestamp. Thanks, Palm!

BTW, did you also notice the "Compose New" option that was added when you tap on a message? I guess I can remove that patch now.

Unfortunately the way they made the calendar more snappy was to erase all appointments older than 3 months on the phone

Treo/Centro had all appointments (and could search them) and it was still super fast.

My old appointments aren't gone. Calendar is much quicker and I have retained all old appointments.

If you are syncing to Exchange, maybe you archived calendar events older than 30 days in Outlook or your company inforced it from a policy in Exchange?

I sync with Google Calendars and I have appointments well beyond 3 months ago on my Pre. Must be your Exchange server (if you're syncing it that way) archiving older appointments, like previously suggested.

I'm not too sure, but to me this looked new: How to change the APN on the Palm Pre | Marc's Blog

Could you change the APN that easily before?


EDIT: Ok, ignore me... available since 1.3.1

1.3.1 yes, but I had hoped they'd fixed it - but they haven't (in 1.3.5.2). It STILL doesn't work with service providers they haven't already added that means you can change apn and mms settings on providers that already work (if Palm has configured apn/mms correctly when adding those providers in the first place - they usually have). But the apn/mms settings for those providers Palm has forgotten - like 3 in denmark - can NOT be set ("Unable to write settings"). Only when I added 3 to the CarrierNetworkServices.db3 it would save the apn/mms - so the apn/mms settings are not meant to make webOS work with unknown/new providers but only for exisiting providers who've changed their apn/mms servers - or those where Palm set it wrong per default.

and get this.. All other phones does NOT have a built-in list of providers, they simple get all settings from the network automatically... But webOs insists on knowing it in advance and only let the user change it. How bad is that? Plam Centro and Treo would at least let you add/set up an unknown provider. That's a big step in the wrong direction (oh and Centro/treo hand Undo... WebOS has some serious catching up to do).

I sync to google as well. I've also tried google exchange sync settings instead. No different - it seems those of you who already had the old appointments (that synced nicely in v1.3.1) didn't loose them - webOS simply no longer syncs or show data older than 2 months and the repair process erased my data so I have no way of getting those old appointments onto my Pre again.

Warning: don't erase those old appoinments on your phones - you won't be able to sync it back

i just realized i lost a few apps of my own after upgrading.. i guess that due in part to the shift where apps are saved now..

With the latest update 1.3.5 it says you can tap on the address from an open contact and it will load it into SN. I tap the address and it goes the first SN window but does not move beyond that point....just hangs there. Any idea what's going on?

[Blaize]

The workaround for now is to open SN first and run in the background...then no hung nav. Hopefully there will be fix for the issue at some point
