Good to hear it works for you, Ive been uninstalling it and reinstalling it since last night. Still isn't working..

I'm curious to know if any of the lucky few that had it native before the update ever got it to work..

Guys i tried this and now everything works.
Login to yahoo.com (profiles.yahoo.com/)
Click Account Info > View Account Info
Click Link your account with other sites
Under Revocable Settings, Select Palm Synergy.
Click Continue.

On your Palm Pre remove your yahoo account and all contacts.
After everyone is gone, Add it back. If your account is @yahoo.com, just use your screen name... ie samsmith, not samsmithatyahoo.com.

Your mileage my vary, this is the play by play that worked for me, and i have a very, very old yahoo account.

I had the Yahoo IM patch functioning successfully in WebOS 1.2. I removed my yahoo account, removed all patches through WebosInstall and Emergency Patch Removal. After upgrading to 1.3.1 I can't log into Yahoo messenger. Any ideas?

i'm not sure i understand your instructions. when i get to the "revocable settings" screen, everything that's list is ACTIVATED, and so checking one and continueing would actually deactivate the setting. is that what you're saying should be done?

**sidjohn1** · 11/14/2009, 05:56 PM

yes

so in short... Deactive Synergy from yahoo and wipe it out on the PRE as well and start over, it will recreate this link when you re-add it. as i side note i was not one of the ones who added the chat clients early.

I have yahoo IM working just perfect now ! I had to doctor my pre for the first time since I got in July !! Now to get back everything I lost LoL. None of the other options listed above did anything for me to get it working so I just started all over and updated. I had yahoo email already then added the IM accounts. Maybe make sure you have email set up first cause they send you a email after your IM connects and syncs

**jhoff80** · 11/14/2009, 06:15 PM

Unfortunately the hacked messaging plugins broke Yahoo support even if you uninstalled them, it seems. Maybe newer versions didn't, but 1.0.4 of the plugin did.

Only solution I know of is to reset and start over. I need to do the same, but I'm waiting for the webOS Doctor 1.3.1 version.

**diomark** · 11/14/2009, 08:16 PM

I had to add my yahoo email as an email account before it would let me do the IM. (I don't want it though, so experimenting with removing the email but keeping the IM)

Made no difference and I never used the patches before. I removed my Yahoo calendar and contacts until this gets resolved. I hardly use Yahoo anymore, not worth the hassle.

I am only having a problem with Yahoo calendar: login is correct, but I constantly get an "Incorrect Password For [my email address]" message after an attempted sync. Messaging, email, and contacts works fine. I unistalled all Yahoo accounts on the Pre, then re-Synergized with no luck.

Anyone else? Any fixes?

**un_designer** · 11/14/2009, 10:04 PM

well, i reinstalled the Messenger Plugin 1.0.4 and it appears to be working. i am able to log into Yahoo IM now, although it's taking a really long time to load my contacts list.

**mark2jas** · 11/14/2009, 10:11 PM

Re-enter your passwords!!!

**LOBSTER_JOHNSON_** · 11/14/2009, 10:22 PM

I did that...MANY times.

Same issue here. emails work, but calendar doesn't.

This worked for me, deleted yahoo IM account on pre, reinstalled the messenger plugin, v1.04, uninstalled the plugin and followed the steps above and was finally able to login.

first 1.3.1 upgrade failed, so I did a webos doctor on the phone to 1.2.1 and then upgraded to 1.3.1. Added yahoo credentials and logged into yahoo ok, got synced contacts, and saw y!messsenger contacts as well in messenger,, but after a while I continue getting Yahoo incorrect password alerts. Multiple re-entries of the correct password do not change the problem, and alerts continue.

I've used only username, and without @yahoo.com -- will try adding domain. Also this was all with an alternate screen name, not my original yahoo ID.

**Maddball** · 11/15/2009, 09:26 PM

After i webdr'ed my phone to 1.2.1, then updated to 1.3.1 i was able to log into all Yahoo services on my Pre..
