I have been reading a couple of threads and searching online, but still can't find any solution. For some reason my Palm Pre behaving strangely. Phone web browser randomly refreshes or reloads the web page. Seems like the web browser does it in every minute. I purchased my Palm Pre few weeks ago from CallHut through dealrocker.com discount deal. Can anyone help me to fix this problem?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Sometimes pages will auto-refreh automatically, yes, but it's not supposed to be as often as your phone is doing it.

It might be a refurb.
There's a hash code that you can use to find out, but I forgot what it is.
Somebody else here is sure to know....

It's a bug and a major cause of slow down. Fingers crossed Palm will fix it in the next update.

Yeah, the auto-refresh is a well-known bug (due to poor memory management), but the OP's problem is that it's happening alot more often than that bug.

Use the Patch in Preware to stop the auto-refresh when idle...it stops it.

Hash code is ##786#. Look for an entry in RECONDATE and RECONDSTATUS.
To enter the code, bring up the phone app and enter the hash code. If it's a refurb it may have the Shake To Refresh browser patch installed.

Thanks, Nacho.
I just couldn't remember that code.

I hope the OP's reading this.

Which patch does this? I thought there was something like that but looked for it recently and couldn't remember what it was called...

[anon(45821)]

It's called No Auto Refresh After Idle

Look in this list:

dBsooner's webOS-Patches Web Portal

[jjeffcoat]

Hmmmm.... well found it in list of everything, and I already have it installed. But I still get page reloads for no apparant reason, guess it would happen even more often without the patch.

[anon(45821)]

And you don't have the Shake to Reload patch installed, or a multi patch that possibly has Shake to Reload as part of it (I don't know if there's any multi patches out with that in it)?
Searching dbsooner's web patch portal site I didn't find any multi patches with Shake To Reload incorporated in them.

Does this occur on every site, or just specific ones? It happens to me all the time on the full Engadget site, and it did happen on another, although for the life of me I can't remember which site it was.

[jgs9455]

Mine auto-refreshes on the full engadget web site, it is so annoying. Yes I can use the mobile version of engadget or the engadget app... but it didn't do this in the past. I have the no refresh after idol patch installed and DO NOT have the shake to refresh patch. Any ideas how to fix?

[Workerb33]

definitely look for that "shake" patch. I found it so sensitive that it was constantly reloading... took it off right away. However, the "don't refresh pages coming out of cardview" should be the first thing anyone installs from Preware. The autorefresh thing is one of the dumber default behaviors to come out of Palm...

[jgs9455]

I triple checked, I do not have the shake patch installed. It only happens on engadget so far that I can tell.

[jgs9455]

Fixed with 1.4.5

[dbdoinit]

Fixed with 1.4.5

That would be GREAT!
Has anybody had any web pages auto-refresh while minimized since 1.4.5?

[jgs9455]

I was just saying pages like Engadget (fullsite, not mobile) no longer keep refreshing for me after updating to 1.4.5. I have the patch that stops auto-refresh while minimized.

[dbdoinit]

Oh.

[leonkehoe]

It is absolutely not fixed in 1.4.5. I've been running it for three weeks and it's always doing it, less frequently perhaps but it still does it.
