Luna restart? Or try restarting the Pre?

Try telling WebOS Quick Install to reinstall Novacom. (File > Options and click on the (Attempt Novacom (re)installation" button)

I believe it works correctly if someone leaves a voicemail.

I have 3 Pre's and all of them are doing the same thing, no LED notification when a missed call comes in. By the way I have no Lock pin on any of them so it seems to be an issue regardless. Hopefully one of the patches will fix this

I've restarted the thing 3 times. And uninstalled both preware and manager. Is there a way to restart the luna? I assumed it would restart with the rest of the phone.

Also I just noticed that the Doctor was a older version. It's from jan, should I use the feb one?

The Service Manager must be installed first. I would uninstall both, reboot the phone, install the Service Manager, reboot the phone, then install Preware. Note the importance of rebooting the phone. While it may not seem important, it really cleans things up so any subsequent installs go more smoothly.

Yeah, Luna should restart with your phone. There is an app I got from Preware (forgot the name) that allows you to restart Java and Luna seperately.

Not sure in your situation I would go over to
http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/

and look to see if there are any threads on this already. If not just make a new one.

yeah, I didn't know that 1.4 was out and ran the old one and got everything re-installed. Then I updated to 1.4 and it hosed my phone. Ended up running 1.4 Doctor just now and I'm in the process of getting all of my apps back that 1.4 OTA update deleted.

Theres a couple of people saying the same thing. So hopefully we can all find a fix.

Did you get the USB screen on your phone ever? There is also a suggestion a little bit further down to go to device manager and uninstall the device driver

There should be a longer list of contacts in the "Top" and "My Contacts" sections, and when I click on a specific contact, most of the contact information screen is not visible.

Is anyone else having this issue? I do have a few patches installed that apply to the web browser. Perhaps one of those are causing the problem...? I do NOT have the browser multi patch installed currently.

i to only get 3 contacts in the goog voice. n i have no homebrew installed

no usb menu or anything...I have 2 computers, one with vista and other with windows 7, the pre used to work with both, now it doesnt even give me any options...

**Voodoochild** · 02/27/2010, 08:27 PM

So, just to be clear you did all of this:
To put your phone in recovery mode:

1. Connect the USB cable to the AC charger, and plug the AC charger into a working outlet.
2. If you can, turn off your phone. See Restarting and resetting your phone .
3. Remove and reinsert the battery. See Replacing the battery on a Pre phone or Replacing the battery on a Pixi phone.
4. Press and hold the volume up button and connect the USB cable to the phone.
5. Release the volume up button when the screen showing the large USB icon appears.

what happened after step 4? Did the screen remain blank?

Is there anyway to go back to WebOs 1.3.5? I desperately need it

This recent 1.4 update has messed up my phone to a point that my computer wont even recognize it...

Hmmm... The Doctor seems to have half-worked for me. I still have no Device Info and a couple other icons, but whatever. Everything else seems fine. My downloaded apps are back.
