Chapter 11 : Troubleshooting

Confirm that no obstructions, including your body, are between the phone
and your hands-free device.

Move to a quieter location to reduce environmental noise.

Some features of my hands-free device don’t work with my

phone

Check the compatibility list at

palm.com/support

to ensure that your

device is compatible with your Pixi Plus phone.

Not all hands-free features work with every hands-free device. Check the
documentation that came with your hands-free device or the
manufacturer’s website for feature-compatibility information specific to
your device.

Synchronization

What is synchronization?

Anytime you are in Email, Calendar, or Contacts, you can set up a
relationship to wirelessly sync data with selected service providers—for
example, Google or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

®

(EAS—check to see if

your company supports this). Sync means that if you enter, change, or delete
information in one location, the change automatically shows up in the other
location. So if you enter a Google contact in the Contacts application on
your phone, the contact appears in your online Google contacts—no need
to enter it twice.

You must already have an account with a service provider before you can set
it up on your phone.

How do I set up synchronization with an online account?

The first time you open Email, Contacts, or Calendar, you are given the
option to enter settings for one or more online accounts (see

Set up email

,

Use Contacts for the first time

, or

Use Calendar for the first time

). For any

account, you need to enter the settings in only one of these applications to
synchronize data for all three.

You can add additional accounts at any time using the preferences in any of
these applications (see

Set email preferences

,

Customize Contacts

, or

Customize Calendar

).

You can also set up the Messaging application to work with an online
instant messaging (IM) account (see

Set up an instant messaging (IM)

account

), and the Photos application to work with an online pictures

account such as Facebook or Photobucket (see

Set up an online pictures

account on your phone

).

NOTE

See

Online accounts available for webOS phones

for the current list of

online accounts that synchronize your info and those that do a one-way

transfer of info either from the web to your phone, or from your phone to the

web.

I don’t want to sync calendar or contact information with my

online account—just email

For most online account providers that sync with more than one app—for
example, Google—if you do not want to sync an application with that
provider’s online account, you can remove that account from within the
application. The online account continues to sync with any other related
applications.

IMPORTANT

You cannot remove individual Exchange account applications.

If you remove your Exchange account from one application, sync stops with all

your Exchange apps.
