I am on 1.3.1, and I can't get my phone to launch in USB Mode. I have tried plugging it in and doing the Option + Sym + U command but nothing happens.

The phone still gets a charge from being plugged in, it just doesn't prompt me which mode to go in anymore.

The only thing I can think of being the problem is that I am using a different micro USB cable, but would that make any difference? Any help is appreciated, need to put more music on this beast!

Thanks. ]]> Palm Pre psenecka http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=216172 http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=216171&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:53:58 GMT I would love to see a dark evil christmas theme. you know with evil santa and evil elves and stuff like that.

The only serach results I got were of the Treo line.
I really thought the Oreo effect was the only thing I would have to deal with on this refurbished phone (2nd pre).

When I am in a call sometimes the only thing I can hear are sparks on the other end. You know... like something you would get if you were in a bad covered area. However, I'm in a university where I get 4-5 bars most places.

I have to hang up and call again just to make the call go through. Then it's fine.

When I receive a notification, the sound I get is 2 beeps. When I receive a notification now, I just get the 2nd beep... or I don't even hear the ringer at all (silent mode is not on).

On top of that, my oreo is still the same and the gap between the faceplate and the middle thing increased.
The bottom of the USB outlet is torn off. I can still get it in USB mode and everything, but very annoying trying not to make it a larger problem.

People still on their first Pres think I might be just complaining but it is very annoying to have to pick up a phone and having to notice the hardware is absolutely terrible.

Since this is my second Pre, do you think I can still call and get another Pre? I hate dealing with refurbs, but this phone is a mess. Also, I don't know if they'll give me one. I bought my initial Pre 6 days after launch day and then got my 2nd 2 months after. Now it's been like 4-5 months.
I feel like Palm receives phones from people, doesn't fix them, and calls it a refurb.

I also feel like 60% of my phone using satisfaction is lost because of the hardware. ]]> Palm Pre Kedar http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=216170 http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=216169&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:43:59 GMT I gave my wife a Pixi yesterday. This is her first smartphone and she wants to move all her contacts from her LG Voyager to the Pixi.

What's the best way to enter all her contacts for the first time? She does not have a Google account. I know she'll have to enter them all in manually but I thought it'd be faster on the PC than the phone. ]]> Palm Pre Stryker412 http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=216169 http://discussion.treocentral.com/showthread.php?t=216168&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:32:53 GMT I tried connecting my Palm Pre to a Sony MBR-100 Music Bluetooth Receiver.

Long story short, I had no themes installed and unchecked everything checked in WebOSQI for tweaks/patches, I then ran the EPR tool in preware. I showed having 3 patches still loaded, but they gave me the IPKG errors. After checking again in WebOSQI, to see what was showing up, nothing was and then the update started.

Most everything is working ok, as far as I can tell, but there were a handful of patches, I can't seem to load.

The patches showing an IPKG error prior to the forced update were, my Battery Icon & Percent, Command Line, andExtract PdfViewer App.

After the update, I have 41 patch's installed, so most are going ok. I was able to get the Battery Icon & Percent patch installed with no problem, but I can not get Command Line or the Enable Lanscape PDF view to load. There were a handful of others and I'll try to post as I find them and time permits.

I did run the EPR again after the update and still get the error. I even spent te last 45min or so running WebOS Repair Utility and it didn't find much of anything.

I have tried to install from Preware and from WebOSQI, neither show them installed or will install. Suggestions??
