Suite. DMX Party Up! for my text alert

 

Thanks bro! sounds like new $!

 

Just read this... that's funni man! LOL

 

I ordered a Palm Pixi for the Wifey as part of her 2nd annivesary gift.. she loves it so far (she got it yesterday).. will ML start another thread later about it, but gotta go eat... hmmmmmmm hmmmm good! cyall!

R.

 

Well I'm getting my third Palm Pre this week. I went to the store today and after trying to fix it for over an hour, they ordered me a new one; I'll be picking it up tomorrow or Tuesday.

The phone continues to have issues with the loose battery, and as of late when plugged in, it freezes. Whenever I try to sync it or even just charge it, once the micro usb side of the wire goes into the phone, the screen stops functioning completely....

It's been 6 months, I'm on my third set. Looks like so far, the failure rate of the Pre is pretty consistent if not worse than my Treo 700 was.

 

Our Pres both work great.

Switching to a BB Tour 2 when it comes out though, Pre's keyboard is too small for my fat fingers.

 

love my pre so far.... about 40 days and no issues... my wife really likes her pixi but wishes it was more like her centro... i like my bigger screen, but i really like her keyboard!

 

.krum...hate ur having a bum time!!!..have you tried the extended life battery and with the new back from seidio?

 

No, I haven't tried that. I'm really fine with the way the phone is now, I'm glad that Sprint has a good insurance plan and don't give me too many headaches.

As much as I love the Palm operating system, once the Iphone is available for other networks, I will probably be getting out of the Pre; the hardware is just too flimsy. I will continue to enjoy it for the next year or so, however.

There are 550+ apps in the catalog now!

 

yesterday, I had a friend tell me that the only thing he felt like the iPhone does poorly is be a phone... I had to laugh, but he explained that he has such poor call quality (he came from a BB which had much better)... so I am hoping that when they change its guts around for the other carriers it will be a better phone too...

....and yay for even more apps!!

 

Picked up my replacement today. I'm excited about having it again now that it fully works

 

 

has anyone been having a battery drain problem?

Mine was doing GREAT until yesterday after I used it to play some music through my car radio (using Pandora)... now the battery is draining so fast... I made it until about 1 pm and had to charge it back up...

Anyone got any ideas or fixes? I have restarted it to make sure something was not left on... the BT and WF are turned OFF...

 

^dont think so, I carry around my charger all day bcuz of the horrible battery life

 

My battery is ok. I have two batteries. Me and my sis been havin problems with our pre. Freezing and shutting off by itself still last week sprint sent her a brand new one. and 2day sprint is sending mine out hopefully they said I will get it 2morro. and whats with this 4g? i dont think I have it LOL

 

Krum... seems like the bat life was the sux and I didnt know it until now???? Thats not good... I am gonna call Sprint tonite about the battery life... I will let yall know what I find out...

4G.... I have now idea.. how would you even know it was running on 4G?... mine is ok on speed all the time... but not even close to the speed of a Droid phone one of my friends showed me earlier today!

 

I told sprint 2day I said u guys r lucky I like u or I would be over with Verizon and having the droid they said ok we will knock 10 dollars off ur bill a month I was like WTF SWEET!

 

Solid!

 

I went to the email settings and changed my 3 email servers to every hour update in stead of as they come in and the phone is holding a solid charge now... maybe my phone was just overwhelmed from my 3 email accounts all pushin email thru over and over again!

 

I also unlinked my yahoo contacts... it was constantly asking for the password, so it had to be trying to update alot and therefore was a battery drain too...

and I kept my bluetooth on all day and talked alot... battery was cool!

 

The Pre doesnt have a 4G radio in it. Funny cause everytime Sprint has a comercial of 4G they show the Pre.

For any of you wanting better battery life, I installed the 500mhz patch and it improve battery life noticeably.

 

I got my seidio case for my pre the other day... it was one of my christmas gifts from my wife... crazy thing... it was shipped from houston and held for 3 or 4 days bf being shipped ... fed/ex FTL!

 

...this latest update may have made a mild difference on my Pre, but on my wife's Pixi, it really made a difference...

 

Palm announced pre plus and pixi plus today....didnt the pixi JUST come out? oh well.....

 

Yep.

But those are for Verizon.

Sprint users get the shaft (for now)

Flash + OpenGL is great though

Update 1.4 next month!

 

LOL... my Wife wants to kill her Pixi about once a day...

But since she has had it for about a month she is getting better at it...

...any news on what 1.4 has in store????

 

pixi plus = plus wifi ... I bet Sprint regretted major, not including that in the 1st place... FTL of $$$

 

Flash (like what many websites use)

Better battery life

Video recording

OpenGL (lots of 3D video games)

 

Oh, that's $ then!

 

Also - I've seen the touchstone finally go on sale!

 

1.3.5 actually brought in a little bit of speed to the whole UI.

Im enjoying the 3D games as well.

I only purchased asphault5, but also installed DOOM and Quake and am enjoying this as well.

I am hoping with 1.4 coming next month the Pre will be more like what it should have been on launch day.

All well need then is

1.real copy n paste
2 voice dial over bluetooth
3 more bluetooth profiles to be able to send/receive any files you ant
4 a video out API so that I can use it as an in car entertainment source.


Really hoping on that last one. lol

 

this morning I get to work and the phone is "dead"... tried a couple diffferent things... still nothing... it was just fine last nite when i went to bed!

anyone else had a sudden onset of phone deadness?

 

Yeah...all the time with my old treos....way to go palm!

Sorry Dark.

 

was it battery related?

ive experienced sluggishness when trying to wake up

 

Never had the problem. Try reset by removing the battery?!?
