14 DAY TRIAL // 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
For those of you that had the pleasure of using a Palm smartphone running webOS, here are some tips and tricks that could make your life easier, and who knows, maybe it will turn you into a power webOS user.
As Palm already stated, the more email accounts you're using and the more often these accounts are checked, the more power they will drain from the battery.
As long as you set your email accounts to check for new messages every 20-30 minutes, or even longer, the less power the phone will need.
To be able to do that you will need to use an Exchange ActiveSync account, and set it to receive email at various time intervals, preferably longer than 20 minutes, so you can reduce power consumption.
Bear in mind that if you're using a web-based email account set to receive email as it arrives won't be that efficient as using an Exchange ActiveSync account.
If you're one of those persons that use text messages a lot and have many friends that you're texting with, then here is a quick and easy way to find a certain conversation that you had with a particular person.
Start typing the recipient's name in the Search field and the name together with all the convos you had with that person will pop-up on the screen. You can apply the same method using the Universal Search, as you will get a small “SMS” button next to the name.
Feel free to add more of these tips, especially if you're an advanced webOS user.
