WebOS 1.2 already out?

Leathal · 09/04/2009, 02:16 PM

Updated w/ summary of 1.2 so-far discovered features

Find-as-you-type search support in Email
App Catalog updated to support purchasing apps
Web browser enhanced
* auto zooms to forms
* download in browser enabled (including opening pdfs)
* better rendering of mobile pages
* Orange+click context menu on links
* save images
"Real" copy and paste
* shift tap to select areas of text
* Select All option in Edit menu
Sort by Priority or Date Due in Tasks
Other minor tweaks and changes

I'll add more stuff as it's found.

This leak was an accident and Palm has already pulled the WebOSDoctor containing 1.2 from their site. Also, you can and will horribly brick your Pre if you let the phone auto-update back to 1.1 from 1.2. This post will not tell you where to get the 1.2 image OR how to recover if you accidentally brick the device, but if you don't spend your life commenting on Youtube, you shouldn't have any problems figuring out both (Hint: read the thread).

ORIGINAL POST
---------------
Sorry if this gets everyone's hopes up, but I did a WebOS Doctor recovery a few minutes ago and now my system version is showing as WebOS 1.2.0.

Posting this from my phone, screenshot proof coming soon as I get back to a PC, probably about an hour or so. Just figured some of you would want to know that it looks like Palm pushed the 1.2.0 image out to WebOS Doctor early

Edit: Okay here's the screenshot

Why don't you take a screen shot upload it to photobucket and give us that link now? What version and date did your webos doctor say?

A couple others have reported this as well

Do you have options to change your text tone and alert tones now?

In fact are any of these on your phone now?

Active X support
Video Recording
The ability to choose separate tones and mp3's for text, email, knowin caller........
Forwarding of text messages
Battery and CPU scaling

That Data Usage on/off slider wasn't there before. Plus that'd be the most random thing for someone to fake.

There is a toggle to turn data usage on and off.

It shows a page you won't find on 1.1

Peteman100 · 09/04/2009, 02:25 PM

The three guys that reported having it said it was through WebOS doctor update. Mine is still showing the old version on webOS doctor.

Partyman · 09/04/2009, 02:30 PM

So they did not fix the forwarding of text messages yet?
