Palm's latest operating system called webOS had great potential since its launch. Unfortunately, a series of bugs and flaws prevented it to become a successful OS. Even though the smartphones running the webOS already received a series of updates, it seems that it remained “an OS with potential,” that still hasn't reached maturity

Since HP bought Palm, the former company stated that one of its main purposes is to improve Palm's fans experience with the webOS, thus we might see some serious work in the future if HP keeps its promise.

Anyway, for those of you that had the pleasure of using a Palm smartphone running webOS, here are some tips and trick that could make your life easier, and who knows, maybe it will turn you into a power webOS user.

As one of the first smartphones running webOS, Palm Pre will be the first to receive its share of tips.

One of the most important things you might wanna learn is how to quick reset your webOS device.

Even though there are different ways to reboot your Palm Pre, one of the easiest ways is to press Orange carrier key (Verizon users have a gray button instead of this one), SYM key and R key, all at once.

Taking a screenshot with Palm Pre is also easy, you just need to know what keys you need to click.

Press Orange key, SYM key and P key at the same time, and you'll find your screenshots in the Pictures app, where a new “Screen captures” folder will be created.

In case your smartphone will become unresponsive and you are force to reset it, you will have to do a basic reboot.

To make a soft reset press and hold the power button and move the ringer switch back and forth two or three times.

Feel free to add more of these tips, especially if you're an advanced webOS user.
