Sprint webOS 1.4.5 Official Change Log, 1.4.5 save bug confirmed 28

by Dieter Bohn Wed, 11 Aug 2010 12:48 am EDT

 

So the webOS 1.4.5 download isn't quite working yet as of this writing, (update: should be working now) but that hasn't stopped Palm from posting up the official changelog. It's short:

New applications

NONE

  • Feature changes to existing applications

System

  • This release includes minor fixes and enhancements to support the public release of the webOS Plug-in Development Kit (PDK).
  • This release may require you to update certain apps to their latest version to properly support the launch of the webOS PDK. If you have a game that is not saving your game information correctly (high scores, stages, settings) check the App Catalog for updates. For more information on updating apps, see Using App Catalog

Web

  • If a user enters text in a field on certain websites, the screen focus now remains on the text being entered.
  • This release fixes a rare problem so that podcasts now download correctly.

Security

  • This release addresses several security issues with the Palm webOS software.

There are a few other subtle changes not mentioned above, like small changes to the default email signature, video messaging, and battery improvements - see Sprint's list here.

Notable: that line about checking for app updates tells us that the 1.4.5 PDK bug that prevents some games from saving is still here despite the long delay in its arrival. So make sure you update both your OS (whenever that starts working) and your apps, folks.

So, we waited more than Europeans, for nothing?

where was that patch to fix the bug? & do you apply before or after the update?

Here's hoping Verizon "releases the hounds" soon by offerin' up 1.4.5.x--whatever-ya-call-it. :-)

that means when webos 2.0 arrives we will have the same problem, one group gets it the other has to wait... its a small update dont know why its taking the other carriers so long to push it out, before everyone had to wait weeks now their turning into month.

To many Android phones and software updates.. :P

I just got the update. sprint user in Pittsburgh

so close...yet so far away :(

I had to retry about 5 times but it's goin now

I mentioned that about forty five minutes ago haha...

thanks @RMB


btw, it's painful without UberKernel! Probably only need to uninstall it before installing the Os, not before downloading it

also, it's now downloading here in washington state. Should be almost rolled out to everyone soon

Finally downloading in San Diego.

really? It's downloading for me.

it was a bummer last night because it kept cycling to check for updates rather than download, so I said fuck this and went to sleep. I woke up and it was awaiting install, so my day has started okay!

any notice of battery improvements?

"If a user enters text in a field on certain websites, the screen focus now remains on the text being entered."

Doesn't work. At least on m.facebook.com which is the most annoying website to have this occur on.

My keyboard is fixed!!!! So my favorite improvement is how they changed the keyboard sensitivity. I would always get like 2 or 3 spaces between words... Now it works perfectly. Thank heavens, that was the most annoying thing ever - but all fixed now!
