WebOS 1.3.5.1 Released on Bell

By
Braden Faulkner
Published: January 5, 2010


That's right, WebOS 1.3.5.1 was just released and it appears to be Sprint's 1.3.5 and 1.3.5.1 bundled all into one. This is certainly a welcome update in Canada's WebOS world. The release notes are after the break, we're still checking things out but, alike the Sprint version of the update it takes a while to download.

A big thanks to Quintus over at the PreCentral forums for finding this!


App Catalog



  • App Catalog significantly improves the application download experience.

  • A user can now download multiple applications simultaneously.

  • Downloads continue in the background if the user moves away from the download screen.

  • A user can manually pause, resume, and cancel downloads.

  • A user can also download all available updates for the user’s downloaded applications with a single tap.

  • App Catalog automatically resumes downloads in cases where a download was paused because it was interrupted—for example, if a user moves out of network coverage and then moves back into coverage.

  • Users can now take advantage of the full storage capacity of the phone for downloading applications. This gives the user more control over how to allocate the phone’s storage space across applications, music, photos, and other media. Downloaded applications are now stored on the phone’s USB drive.

  • App Catalog lists search results based on an improved search algorithm.


Calendar



  • In Day view, switching between days happens more quickly.

  • This release fixes an issue in which the Calendar app displayed no events for any account after a user synchronized Calendar with an Exchange account. With this update, Calendar events now appear correctly after an Exchange sync.


Date & Time



  • When the user has network time zone enabled, a city and country are no longer displayed.


Device Info



  • A user can perform a full erase by pressing and holding Sym + the orange/Option key + powerfor 10 seconds.


Email



  • A user can now edit forwarded text for all email account types.

  • When the user sets up more than one Yahoo! email account, the account names displayed in Account List view include the associated email address so that the user can distinguish them.

  • If an account mailbox is too full to send messages, after the user frees up space in the mailbox on the server, the user can send the messages successfully.


Messaging



  • If a user deletes a conversation with a contact, new conversations with that contact are now correctly displayed in Conversations view.


Screen & Lock



  • When the screen is locked, the time displays in a new font.


System



  • Users can now take advantage of the full storage capacity of the phone for downloading applications. This gives the user more control over how to allocate the phone’s storage space across applications, music, photos, and other media. Downloaded applications are now stored on the phone’s USB drive.

  • This update improves battery life in areas of poor wireless network coverage.

  • If the user is working in an application that supports landscape mode (such as Web or Videos), notifications now appear at the bottom of the landscape screen.

  • After a user signs in to an existing Palm profile, applications the user installed from App Catalog are restored in the background. The user can use other features of the phone while the apps are being restored.

  • Swiping to delete a list item that contains a link no longer causes the link to open in the web browser.


Updates



  • After taking the 1.3.5 update, users can download future updates over a 2G (1xRTT 1x title bar icon, GPRS 1x title bar icon, EDGE 1x title bar icon) data connection by opening Updates and tapping Download Now.


Web



  • The web browser now supports the display of animated GIFs.

  • Audio files with a .3g2 extension play correctly as audio files, not video files.


Product-specific information


Pre phone


Email



  • The default email signature no longer includes the macron over the “e” in “Pre,” so that the product name shows correctly on a recipient’s phone.


Security


This release includes a security fix to the dev portal. Credit to Kris Siegal for reporting the issue.

    Eminem was much better when he started out. His music sucks now and is a prime example of what money does.
