  • I know this is old and you probably upgraded or are planning to upgrade to the Pre 3 (I know I am) but the battery is wiggly so just get some construction paper and pack it in there. helped my brother and his friend.

  • @sexmebre i have had many slider phones and they al did this, it really is the battery. My pre Plus doesent do this because Palm rocks like this but my old normal Pre did it like it was its job.

  • My Pre Plus doesn't do this, it does however shuffle my playlist.

  • Old issue. This happened because the snap from closing the slider would cause a disconnection in the battery compartment. Recent phone have fixed this problem.

  • yes the battery is lose i added a little piece of paper between the battery and the little strip u pull so u can pull the battery out and it doesnt do it no more is easy as pie.

  • well i dont want to argue im just saying the early versions of the pre had smaller batteries then the ones now and im guessing he had got the pre when they first launched by checking when this video was uploaded.. and yess i do have a pre and mine shuts off right when i tell it to turn off the power...

  • @kRAz13StAt1C

    i just restarted my Pre, counted the seconds it took for it to actually shut off. it took it roughly the same amount of time it took for this guy's. i did it again just now trying to do the same thing he did, and all he would have had to do, is select shut down, and then wait around 3 to 4 seconds before closing it, and it would shut off. if you have a pre try it yourself, cause i just did twice.

  • noo it is actually the battery that is lose... a screen pops up and asks you if you want it switch it to airplane mode,switch it off or cancel. that would of poped up if he was holding down the power buttom...

  • yea, i agree as well, i just rewatched the video after reading your comment and you are completely right, his finger was on the power button at the very begging, and all you'd have to do is time how long it takes for it to shut off, then slide down the pre and there ya go!

  • or it could have crashed because of the new battery. if he has the slightly extended battery, which is highly likely, it will do that exact thing. its not crashing though. its the fact that the new battery is loose and loses its connection to the terminals. probably exactly what is happening to to you babygeo12
