I've noticed that my phone has become rather buggy since the 1.4 update.  The frequency that I have to completely reboot my phone is at least 5 times as high as it was before.  Also the claim was that 1.4 would be more efficient on battery life...I've found the opposite to be true.  Hopefully we'll be seeing a 1.41 soon.

When your phone locks up DO NOT remove the battery, It could corrupt it, Instead Hold the "Orange button+Sym+R" to reset your phone. There seems to be a few bugs with WEBOS 1.4, I'm sure we will see an update soon from palm.

Plug your phone up to your PC, Go to DCIM and delete the 999palm folder. It is a known issue.

You should install "Preware" on your phone. Then install Jason's patch. It sets the name of the pics in this manner: "PRE_YYYY-MM-DD-hhmmss"

I am really surprised to hear so many having trouble with phones slowing down. I am curious about it there is a commonality? Pre? Pixi? I also wanted to note that I learned, very unfortunatley I might add, that if you get a message during use of the camcorder, it freezes! I am not sure if I place the phone in airplane mode first this will prevent that from happening. REAL bummer!

@Rockermom, Installing Preware is totaly safe, The Dev's over at precentral are also some of the Dev's that have a lot of Apps in the official App Store on the phone. You don't need to uninstall Preware itself, Or most the patches, But a lot of use do. You do however have to uninstall any themes before upgrading. The worst that could happen is you may have to Dr. your phone back to factory settings using Palms WEBOS Dr. If you want to attempt it I could walk you through it if you have any issues doing it by yourself.

I went to the DCIM folder and I only have the 100palm folder. There is no 999palm folder and yet I am having the same problems reported by people with the 999palm folder problem. Any advice?

I am in the midst of installing the preware.

I am also still having that problem with my email.

Did you type upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart (On the phones keyboard) a hidden app called "Developer Mode Enabler" will pop up, You have to turn it on, It will restart your phone, Then when you plug your phone into your PC choose "Just Charge"

i got my first palm pixi about 4 weeks ago. about 2 weeks after the update, my phone started turning off by itself. then i realized that pictures were starting to go missing. ones that i never deleted....and the turning off progressed even more .. so my mom and i went to the store and they exchanged it for us because according to them "they had never seen that happen before" . i JUST got this new one on wednesday ( 3/17/10) and this morning i looked through my pictures. i had 15, and now i have 9 ..... im really mad right now. can anyone help?
