I have a palm pre and I really enjoy using it. Only problem is I notice, and have read, that using aim on it drains the battery. I need to be able to use aim when I’m at work though as aim mobile, as far as I know, relies on the cell phone signal and I can’t get a good signal here at work, but I can tap into the wifi wonderfuly. I sleep during the day and work at night so I use aim as a way of talking to my girlfriend during my night shift till she goes to bed. Anyone know of a way to make it so that aim doesn’t absorb the battery so quickly or a way to use some sort of aim program on the palm pre?
The other part of my question is for the wifi. I work at a bed and breakfast and we have free wifi for the guests…only thing is you have to go through a log in page in order for your device to actually connect. That’s no big deal for me to do….the problem occurs when the phone goes into standby mode…..it seems that most of the time when it goes into standby mode it disconnects me from the wifi. When I come back from standby mode it searches for a connection again and I have to log in yet again.If I’m talking to someone via aim this can be troublesome. Any way for me to remain connected even when it’s in standby? I would appreciate any tips.
