The developers tell us that you may not need to remove the new AUPT patches before the update but you still need to remove any themes and you MUST REMOVE ANY OVERCLOCK PATCHES

2. Remove all patches. Click ToolsTweaksRun EPRLuna Restart

Remove all Patches and Themes - From Getting Started: Preware:
1. Remove themes. Tap Installed Packages Theme → Tap your theme → Remove → OK OK
2. Remove all patches. Tap List of Everything then type "emergency" and tap Emergency Patch RecoveryInstall
3. Restart your phone. Press these buttons at the same time: Orange-Sym-R

Please post only new features and changes in this thread - issues go in the issue thread.

Big thanks to Milominderbinder for providing the format for these official threads!

So, may I ask of the people who have gotten this update, did it address the constant "too many cards" error? Also: did it speed anything up? or was this just a bugfixing mission?

That first link is rather circular don't you think? Think you could make that a non-link and note that it is *this* thread?

I am having brutal multiple keystroke issues on Pre+ I just got my 4th one directly from Palm and it's a refurb that has been "tested" and it was multiple typing one key out of the box and now 5 days later 5 or 6 keys a multiple typing!

The Palm rep says that this "software issue" has been addressed in 1.4.1. Can anyone confirm this?

Golly. I'm a little concerned that the memory issues introduced in 1.4 aren't listed. I hope they fixed something here...

Yeah me neither, I hope it was just too esoteric for them to include in the changelog. We'll see.

There were also some changes to the way the system does garbage collection. This should help with some of the memory issues introduced in 1.4.

I have just updated my UK pre and have found that the phone is a lot smoother, no problems with cards.

Never had no problems with multi key stokes before so cant answer if thats been fixed.

On the main working fine...now just to reinstall the 800mhz patch............

Engadget app now longer works at the mo!
