Updates

I dismissed a system update notification, and now I don’t know

how to get the update on my phone

If you have a phone network connection or a Wi-Fi connection and the
battery has at least a 30% charge, you can start the update yourself:

Open

Updates

. Your phone checks for the availability of the update, and if one

is available, tap

Download Now

. The download happens in the

background, so you can continue to use your phone until the actual
installation takes over.

Your phone continues to remind you to install the update after it has been
downloaded. You are also reminded to install the update automatically the
next time you charge your phone. An update installation cannot begin
unless you have at least a 30% charge on your battery. If you tap

Install

Later

, the update will automatically install the next time all three of the

following conditions are true: the phone is charging and idle, and the battery
has at least a 30% charge.

My phone froze while I was downloading or installing a system

update

If this happens, you can use webOS Doctor

TM

to restore your phone and

install the system update from your computer using the USB cable. On your
computer, go to

palm.com/rom

to download webOS Doctor.

If you can’t put your phone in USB Drive mode using the screen, you can use
a keyboard shortcut. Press and hold

Third-party applications

Some third-party applications may cause conflicts with your phone.
Third-party applications that modify the wireless features of your phone
may require extra troubleshooting. Use caution when installing the
following:

Ringtone managers

Caller ID applications

Instant messaging

Applications that modify when your phone or data connections turn on or
off and how your phone behaves

If you recently installed an application and your phone seems to be stuck, try
the following in sequence until the problem is resolved:

1

Restart your phone (see

Restart your phone

).

2

Make sure your third-party applications are up-to-date (see

Manually

check for system updates

).

3

See if a system update is available (see

Manually check for system

updates

).
