Is it safe to disconnect Palm Pre when WEBOS Doctor is at 96%?
I have a Palm Pre that I am trying to fix. I have done quite a bit of research, so I know what I am doing. I read that the firmware has successfully been flashed at around 84%, so would it be safe to disconnect the device when the Webos Doctor reaches 96%? It has been at 96% for quite some time, and I am getting tired of waiting.
If it is not safe, could you please explain why not and exactly what it is doing right now? Thanks.
Answer: I would disconnect and run it again

Answer: Webos is the operating system on your PalmPre. You don't have to do anything to install it.

How come WEBOS never find my Palm Pre when it is connected?
What should i do? Im trying to get the on screen keyboard for my palm pre but it never finds my phone. It always say that i need to connect it, and it do be connected. Can someone tell me what i can do about it?
Answer: Are you trying to run the Preware installer or Webos Quick Install? If so, you probably didn't set you phone into developer mode. Type 'Webos20090606' into the launcher (without the quotes!). Turn on developer mode and let the phone reboot. Then, try again. I recommend Preware for installing patches because it lives on the phone.

Which App Catalogue has the most quality programs WEBOS or Android?
Thinking about changing my phone. Option would be a palm pre or a samsung moment. (I am not leaving Sprint). I know that they dont have the programs available to them that iPhone has, but which program has the most?
Answer: Android has many more than Webos at the moment. It also has a year head start and a very open community. I have the same dilemma right now and this week will be getting the Hero. I love Webos, but it is still young and the Pre is not that great of a phone build wise. I can upgrade every year so hopefully next year when I want to upgrade Palm will have something more to my liking.
As for the Moment, the reviews in say unless you really need a keyboard, the Hero is just a better phone overall... (the 800mhz processor is really the same processor just overclocked and hasn't done too much to really speed up the device).
