Tech-tuber, Tim Schofield, dug out a Palm Pre today to do a comparison video of the iPhone X and the original Palm Pre with equal parts “Apple finally copied webOS” and “this weird device is old, lolz” sprinkled in.
Just like an older car, with any webOS device these days, you have to perform some maintenance to keep it running smoothly. And one of those maintenance items you have to do on your webOS device is cleaning out the “var” (variable data) partition.
If your webOS device has any of the following symptoms, the trouble could be that your “var” partition is full, or nearly full:
Unable to download files, or play streaming media.
Can’t install or update webOS apps.
Trouble downloading new e-mails.
Generally sluggish, or very slow to respond to gestures.
Do you speak Russian? Do you have have an LG webOS TV? Do you want to root it?
For that tiny fraction of a percentage of you out there, do I have a video for you! We talked about root on LG webOS TVs a while back but the instructions were a bit…daunting, though not being a Russian speaker myself I can’t say if the video is much better.
Bing Maps has been patched for their latest API change for webOS. webOS Nation forums user, Misj’, has developed two patches to cover both the Pre and TouchPad bases.
