Your phone has a power-saving feature that’s set to turn off the screen if it has been idle for one minute. You can change the auto-shut off interval (see “Set the Interval for Turning the Screen Off Automatically” on page 175).
If you restart your phone, any wireless services are automatically turned on if they were on before the restart. However, if the phone can’t determine if a wireless service was on before the restart, that service does not automatically turn on (see “Turn the Phone On/Off” on page 18).

enter, change, or delete information in one location, the change automatically shows up in the other location. So if you enter a Google contact in the Contacts application on your phone, the contact appears in your online Google contacts—no need to enter it twice.
You must already have an account with a service provider before you can set it up on your phone.
How Do I Set Up Synchronization With an Online Account?
The first time you open Email, Contacts, or Calendar, you are given the option to enter settings for one or more online accounts (see “Set Up Email” on page 187, “Use Contacts for the First Time” on page 123, or “Use Calendar for the First Time” on page 137). For any account, you need to enter the settings in only one of these applications to synchronize data for all three.
You can add additional accounts at any time using the preferences in any of these applications (see “Set Email Preferences” on page 200, “Customize Contacts” on page 133, or “Customize Calendar” on page 143).
You can also set up the Messaging application to work with an online instant messaging (IM) account (see “Set Up an Instant Messaging (IM) Account” on page 209), and the Photos application to work with an online pictures account such as Facebook or Photobucket (see “Set Up an Online Pictures Account on Your Phone” on page 107).
See “Online Accounts Available for webOS Phones” on page 294 for the current list of online accounts that synchronize your info and those that do a one-way transfer of info either from the Web to your phone, or from your phone to the Web.

I Want to Sync With Outlook or Palm Desktop Software on My Computer
If you have data from a Palm smartphone in Outlook or Palm Desktop software, you can do a one-time, one-way export of the data from the desktop application to your phone (see “How Do I Get Data Off My Computer?” on page 77). You can assign this data to sync with an online account. You can also assign it to the Palm profile account. Data in this account is backed up to your Palm profile daily, so you can retrieve it if you need to reset your phone. But it is not a true sync because you cannot change your Palm profile data anywhere except on your phone.
If your desktop Outlook synchronizes with an Exchange server using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, you cannot do a one-way export of that Outlook data to your phone. However, you can synchronize the Outlook

Short periods of time when email is unavailable are

I Have Problems Sending Email (IMAP and POP Accounts)
If you are able to receive email messages but cannot send them, try the following:
Turn on authentication (see “Set Up Email: Other
Providers” on page 190). Many service providers require authenticated access, or ESMTP, to use their SMTP servers for outgoing mail.
Enter the name of a different outgoing mail server for
sending mail (see “Set Up Email: Other Providers” on page 190). Many ISPs, such as cable companies, require that you have an Internet connection to their network to send email through their servers. In this case, you can almost always receive email from these accounts, but if you want to send email, you must send it through another server. Check with your email service provider for the correct outgoing mail server name.
