Official webOS 1.4 New Features & Changes - Page 6

Tiddlekins · 02/27/2010, 04:13 AM

One of the best features so far is that they seem to have fixed the "Too Many Cards" error when you don't have any cards open. You no longer need to switch airplane mode on and off or reboot in order to play a 3D game. I was just able to launch Glyder, Tetris, and Earthworm Jim sequentially with only a brief pause between each. I couldn't do that before.

The update continues to impress

Are you on a Pre or Pre Plus?

edit: Sorry, silly question since 1.4 hasn't hit Verizon yet.

No worries

But yeah, Sprint Pre.

LOL - it fills the normally dead time you get after tapping an icon. Ironically, it is supposed to change your perception and make it feel like the app is opening faster! (a common UI technique)

In camera mode if you have the keyboard open "P" and "Q" swap camera and video

Daemon · 02/27/2010, 04:31 AM

Minor but useful undocumented feature.
Prior to 1.4 if you were just sitting at your desktop with no cards
(such as immediately following a reboot) and started typing, it would do
nothing at all. Now it launches universal search, which is the logical thing to do.
Universal Search seems to be a bit quicker too and narrows in on
what I want fast enough to avoid annoying scrolling more often.

Web browser seems to multi-task a bit better. I'm finding I can start
zooming in on pages while they're still loading, where before it would
ignore my taps until it was done loading, then play them all back at once.

Not only that, they actually do load faster!

i might be confused with what your exactly your talkin about, but ive always been able to start typing at a blank screen an universal search always popped up, how else were you supposed to use it anyways???

Agreed. The new videos are in the DCIM/100PALM dir mixed in with the photos.
They're stored in .mp4 files, and they're 640x480@20fps with a variable data
rate that is at minimum about 1.7Mbit/s. Quality is pretty decent.

I think I figured it out, and the bug is still here in 1.4.
Reboot the phone and when you see the desktop try typing. It just ignores it.
If you launch an app and close it, returning to the desktop, then it works as
expected.

3d games rotate in card view to portrait

Wizzrobe · 02/27/2010, 05:03 AM

Yea I pulled that info from a video in the .attachments/mms folder.

Where did you find the unformatted video ?

Tiddlekins · 02/27/2010, 05:04 AM

When you're setting a time for an appointment in the Calendar, or setting the time for an alarm in the Clock, the rotating selector now extends completely from the top of the screen to the bottom.

This makes it a lot easier to choose the time that you want without as much scrolling--particularly for the minute increments.

I LOVE all of these hidden little features

The original videos are stored as .m4v files in the DCIM folder along with all of your pictures.

Wizzrobe · 02/27/2010, 05:14 AM

Ahh must of missed those. Thanks !!

I can't see the time I spent takking with some one in the history!

it's gone I saw it for like 5 seconds then I restarted luna and it's gone. Any one else not seeing it?

fr4nk1yn · 02/27/2010, 06:11 AM

I'm missing something. Where is the "new user-selectable notification sounds under Ringtone"?

I don't see the time talking to someone in history either.
