Great tips here for preventing that auto-reboot annoyance. Otherwise, it seems you play kinda rough with your toys. It's a "delicate electronic instrument" -- not a hand tool.
My wife has had hers for over 2 years (loves it) but she was very glad when that crappy USB cover finally fell off and got lost for the last time. Since she carries her Pre in a sleeve in her purse, there's no worry about pocket fuzz getting in the socket.
Do you carry yours in your pocket? That might be the problem.
Here is a tip don't slam the phone down,when u have the keyboard up and ur putting it back down don't do it fast& last the battery might go fast cuz the back light is to bright I know that because my iPod touch battery dies fast when my back light is on to bright hoped that helped
Maybe if you didnt slam it closed it wouldnt shut off !* just saying... -.- and btw for anyone who wants to get the palm pre should get the palm pre 2 waaaay better service!!
I purchased 3 of these phones 1 had to be replace 1 week then 2 one speaker went 3 one has all of the problems as you do except the srceen is cracked 3 peaces of crap and the warrenty sucks as well i can,t say ant good thing about these phones junk.
all things considered the web0s system is already looking to be much better than all the current systems, just research it, and youl see just how much power is behind the pre that is barely even used.
Had none of these problems on any of my Pres (although I did have problems), but because of HP/Palm's stagnation and continuing bullshitting of us early adopters I've moved on to windows phone 7 (HD7) and am in love with my phone again. The Pre was cool for 2009 tho.
Ive had the phone for almost a year and a half, and I liked it at first, but now I completely hate it with a passion. Im planning on getting the HTC Evo 4g pretty soon. Soo all Ive got to say bout the pre is it sucks !!!!!!
I have replaced my Palm Pre Plus twice and now I may have to go back to verizon a third time. My Palm Pre screen has gone black. It worked fine this morning and I was trying to upload a video to my FB. I later came back to check on the progress and the screen was black. I tried to turn it off and it is not doing a thing. The battery was almost full before upload. I tried to put it on the charger and nothing. I am soo frustrated with this phone. I can not make calls....nothing.
I have a palm pre.....it is now disconnected....i gotta a samsung moment now.....i CANNOT.....REPEAT CANNOT....get to my contacts on the pre.....i took it to 2 sprint stores and they cant get to my contacts simply because the screen is cracked!!!!
i cannot access anything on the pre due to the cracked screen and no one can transfer my important contacts over to my new phone.
DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYBODY THAT KNOWS HOW TO REPAIR THE SCREEN SO I CAN CLICK ON THE ICONS FOR MY CONTACTS?
I've had me Pre for a while and don't have any problems like this... i have no "oreo twist" effect at all, no dead pixles and broken plastic pieces... either that have already addressed some of these issues or as long as you don't abuse the phone you shouldn't have any prob i love my Pre best phone ever fuck the iphone
Anybody watching this video should note that these problems were resolved with the new Palm Pre Plus that are currently sold. I have a pre Plus and it has no wobble or any of these problems. So dont worry.... Its awesome.
my pre is 4 days old...i havent abused it...but i have the oreo twist effect and a dead pixel...
the pre is just not a good phone (hardware-wise)...the webOS is good and the browser speed is good, but the phone itself is SHIT...i think im switching to the HERO...
I have some the exact same problems!!!! It's really annoying. The slider moves back and forth, the piece of plastic covering the micro usb port broke off, and when I slide the screen back, it sometimes turns off >.< I'm definitely getting a samsung galaxy s when it comes out
the palm pre sucks ..i have one and mine is right here with me and it wobbles and it always freezes.... THE WORST THING ABOUT IT IS THAT THE BATTERY!!!! THE BATTERY LIFE SUCKS. I HAVE TO CHARGE MY PHONE LIKE EVERY HOUR AND SOMETIMES I DONT EVEN USE IT
When you violently slide the pre closed it causes the battery to lose its contact inside the phone. my solution to fix that was to take a small piece of paper and fold it up a few times and tape it to the battery at the top so that the paper fills the gap in the battery slot and causes the battery to put extra pressure on the contacts at the bottom. It’s kind of ghetto but it fixes the problem and it’s taped to the battery so nobody will even see it.
Ya slamming it shut will cause that lol bounces the battery away from the contacts :P also the side to side could be a bad model or could be because you put it in your pocket since its basically 2 pieces when you bend down or something with it in your pocket then it will try to twist it apart bending the slide mech.. my first pre did that i stuck it in my pocket the 2nd i bought the palm case and it is fine to this day 11 months later...
I havee the palmm pree and mines does that switchy thing but it's not as losee, I haven't even dropped it once.I wouldn't reccomend this phone...Good thing I will b getting the EVO4G on Friday,I CANT WAIT!!!
becos you faggot pulled on the false site of the plastic and i dunno how you managed to get it loose that much did you through it against the fuckin wall? how stupid can ppl be
if you spend 150 dollars on a phone that is advertized as good as the iphone, you expect to have as many problems, i had it for like a month and gave the bitch to my mom. then i got myself the new htc phone thing =)
I have the newer version of the palm pre plus from Verizon. I only had the phone 2-3 days & the phone would power down during the middle of a phone call. It would be fully charged & wouldnt start back up for about 5min. I exchanged it for a different phone .
yea... unfortunately thats just the build quality. it is the first webos device to ship and most all of the pres ive gotten(5) have all had at least the "oreo twist"(lol like that name
Yup, all these reasons are why I bought the Pixi instead. Same thing, but smaller, and no stupid slider. Minus wifi and flash capability and a little slower with a 2mp camera instead of 3 but at least it will work alot longer than a Pre!
I've changed my phone for several times. Twice for the bleeding screens. Twice for dead pixels. Once for a stuck power button. Trade it in dude, I'm sure you within the 1 year warrantee.
@robsat66 I have had 3 of these phones and have never dropped one and the crack happens around the charge port. Great phone but has a few flaws. And sprint will not change the phone out unless you have software issues or if the crack messes you phone up.
not because he would slide it to hard but because when pres launched they had a smaller battery and the battery would move out of place and the phone would turn off..
you shouldn't have to treat it like a baby, it's a phone... use it like a phone / messaging / communication device. Take off the diapers. if a company makes a phone that can't be used as intended (like sliding it up and down, or taking off the micro usb flap to charge DAILY) then it shouldn't be on the market, honestly. They should revamp it.
well mine is mint quality. i have a perfecy pre that has no problems. so either this guy has shitty luck when he picked the box or he caused all that stuff by himself. my pre doesnt have any play neither does my cousins but without play its harder to slide. my dad got the samsung moment and it also has play because its supposed to but morons like this guy want everything perfect
I have had the pre since day one. And it does suxs really bad. It was poorly made and it suxs.....Run away. the iphone is the best but on a crappy network. but it is the best by far.
Cry all you want shit eater because there is nothing in the world that you can say that will change the fact that Sprint sucks, VZ rules and I have a Pre Plus and you don't!!!! ha ha ha ha!!!!
palm pre plus isnt even that different than pre. and if it wasnt for palm your shitty verizon wouldnt even have it lol so enjoy and just remember who gave it to you
wow atnt is even better than vz shit. i have the palm pre and pre plus is not that different buddy. vz is way too expenisve as well im better off with an iphone than any phone vz has to offer
latin princees to get games u go to the app catalog and when ur their tap on explore then got down then it will say games and then tap on any type of games u want and then u got ur self a game/ games
i've been having all of these problems. i want to take it to the sprint store and get a new one because i'm sick of it. is sprint gonna allow me to change phones? i've had the pre since about august.
i need to find out how to download games in to my palm pre..can anyone help? also theres a messga telling me that i might have lost data to call sprint..does that mean i have to reset my palm to restore?
I had the same problem. They exchanged it right away, knew that there is a problem with this. It also makes that sound in the listeners ear, when talking on the phone.
I was shocked how mong it takes to turn on and off. Not thrilled with it. We have been with Sprint way too long.
I have a Palm Pre and I havent had any of these problems. I think its safe to say that you probably mistreat your phone. My slide up is in perfect condition and that's because I have a case on it. I have no dead pixels on it, and the door for the charger is a pain in the ass BUT i am VERY careful with my phone, It's a great phone and like ANY PHONE--you have to take care of it.
the palm pre is a cool phone im pritty sure your phone broke before because i know someone who has the palm pre and theres dose nothing like yours so odveuslly we all know you did it to your self
To the many of you stating that i did something to the phone to create these problems and that I should have exchanged it for a new one:
For one, these problems occurred after owning the phone for only a week. How much abuse could I have put it through? The phone that I had prior looked like it was basically new after using if for two years. Also, these problems were congruent to the problems many original pre owners were experiencing when the device was originally released.
Secondly, as can be seen in the "Information" panel. I did return the phone after posting this video and I stated that the new phone, other than two dead pixels out of the box, was great. I have now had the new phone for six months without any major problems. The only issue I am experiencing is that sometimes the phone doesn't recognize when I take out a pair of headphones and it still acts like there is a set on the phone which leads to several inconveniences. Thanks for watching!
I WARNED YOU CHRISTIANS, DELIVERANCE IS COMING, SEAL YOUR SELF WITH HOLY SPIRIT!
Remember this admonition of the Lord: Touch not the unclean thing; and I WILL RECEIVE YOU, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty. 2 Cor.6:17,18
dude relax its just a phone and this is spam for real man it has nothing to do with the video. I love Jesus and all that but you are going to an entirely different level chill out
i want the pixi but you can't text on the touchscreen of it but you can download something for the pre so you can i don't know which one 2 get please let me know what you think
u bitch a lot: if you saw these problems when u first had the phone... SEND IT BACK AND ASK FOR A NEW ONE U MORON!: i have one and ts freaking beautiful: no complains at all.. and as i could see... nothing last on ur hands.. learn to use electronics man!
that sucks, but returning it was smart, i have an lg rumor and it does the oreo thing, but that might be because i slide it alot and kinda hard. and with urs the shut down thing is weird, a phone that slides shouldnt shut off when it slides, its common sense
Creo que estás forzando demasiado la pantalla, esa holgura es parte de su diseño, pero a fuerza de apretar la has incrementado. Quizá los problemas surgieron en los Estados Unidos, porque de los Pre europeos no he tenido noticia de ninguno que funcione mal. Mi Pre funciona perfectamente. Y por cierto, tiene detalles muy buenos que solo empiezas a apreciar cuando llevas un tiempo usándolo, cosas que en una reseña de 3 minutos de un tío que lo probó 12 horas no es posible percibir.
havent had a problem with the pre and i pay close attention to detail, the whole "oreo twist " thing is because its a slider without a tack. you can observe this in the htc shadow or G1, they both have a sliding track guide so you don't get that wiggling screen
wow they screwed you over. i have one and its it has the oreo thing but its not that bad...and as for yo sliding it down, why dont u slide it down not so hard next time.
My frist Plam Pre Screen Stop responding after only 4-5 weeks of use and i've had my new one for around a week and it already has the oreo twist effect, if it get worst I'm going to ask them to swicth my Pre with a phone of equal price like the HTC Hero...As much as I love my Pre it has too many things wrong with it...=(
Hey i was text messaging people and im 34 and i went to shut it off cause it was late so when i did it didnt respond and then it caught on fire right in my hand i got a severe burn mark if ya dont believe me check out my twitter
Well I hope I get a new Palm Pre the one I have the power button Broke! It just went dead. If Sprint doesn't give me a new phone I swear. I'm literally gonna say to them this "Palm Pre sucks get an iPhone everyone!!" in the whole room hahaha
i had a palm pre day 1 and mine showed signs of being loose before all this came to light so i decided it was cheaply built and wasnt for me. now theres all these reports of this happening, im happy i left.

The Palm pre doesn't do that on its own! You must be really bad at taking care of your phones like supchaka said!

I had the same problem. They exchanged it right away, knew that there is a problem with this. It also makes that sound in the listeners ear, when talking on the phone.
I was shocked how mong it takes to turn on and off. Not thrilled with it. We have been with Sprint way too long.

I dont know how you care for your phone, I have 3 Pre's in the family and none of them flop around like that.

I have a Palm Pre and I havent had any of these problems. I think its safe to say that you probably mistreat your phone. My slide up is in perfect condition and that's because I have a case on it. I have no dead pixels on it, and the door for the charger is a pain in the ass BUT i am VERY careful with my phone, It's a great phone and like ANY PHONE--you have to take care of it.

the battery is too small thats why the phone shuts off when you close it hard.
chewy112theking 2 years ago
I noticed on my new Pre they even soldered (glued?) the battery contact points at a slight angle so they make better contact to the battery.
I also have one dead pixel and a yellowish/warped looking screen under certain kinds of light.
Have an iPod touch and would have gotten an iPhone if my carrier sold them (the responsiveness of the touch screen isn't even close.)
Like the the potential of the Pre but seems like it could use some help in the quality assurance department.

why won't you just get a new pre or a different phone if your pre is that bad
soccerqueen181 2 years ago
To the many of you stating that i did something to the phone to create these problems and that I should have exchanged it for a new one:
For one, these problems occurred after owning the phone for only a week. How much abuse could I have put it through? The phone that I had prior looked like it was basically new after using if for two years. Also, these problems were congruent to the problems many original pre owners were experiencing when the device was originally released.

Secondly, as can be seen in the "Information" panel. I did return the phone after posting this video and I stated that the new phone, other than two dead pixels out of the box, was great. I have now had the new phone for six months without any major problems. The only issue I am experiencing is that sometimes the phone doesn't recognize when I take out a pair of headphones and it still acts like there is a set on the phone which leads to several inconveniences. Thanks for watching!
RacerJC2oo9 2 years ago
Take the headphone jack, spray a little bit of WD40 on it, quickly put the jack into the phone. Do this several times, problem solved!

1) *** Newer Pre's don't have these problems. My wife just got a Pre and it feels much more solid than mine.***
2) The reset problem has a simple fix. Go to totallypalmed-dot-blogspot-dot-com for that fix, among others, including the "oreo effect"
3) The USB you broke was 100% your fault, sorry. Though I agree the little door on it sucks.

that sucks, but returning it was smart, i have an lg rumor and it does the oreo thing, but that might be because i slide it alot and kinda hard. and with urs the shut down thing is weird, a phone that slides shouldnt shut off when it slides, its common sense

Creo que estás forzando demasiado la pantalla, esa holgura es parte de su diseño, pero a fuerza de apretar la has incrementado. Quizá los problemas surgieron en los Estados Unidos, porque de los Pre europeos no he tenido noticia de ninguno que funcione mal. Mi Pre funciona perfectamente. Y por cierto, tiene detalles muy buenos que solo empiezas a apreciar cuando llevas un tiempo usándolo, cosas que en una reseña de 3 minutos de un tío que lo probó 12 horas no es posible percibir.

havent had a problem with the pre and i pay close attention to detail, the whole "oreo twist " thing is because its a slider without a tack. you can observe this in the htc shadow or G1, they both have a sliding track guide so you don't get that wiggling screen

My frist Plam Pre Screen Stop responding after only 4-5 weeks of use and i've had my new one for around a week and it already has the oreo twist effect, if it get worst I'm going to ask them to swicth my Pre with a phone of equal price like the HTC Hero...As much as I love my Pre it has too many things wrong with it...=(
