Web

I can't access a web page

Make sure you have a data connection. See I don’t know if I have a data connection for details. If you do not have a data connection, see the topic that matches your situation:

I can’t make a data connection over my wireless service provider’s network

I can't make a Wi-Fi connection from my home network

I can't make a Wi-Fi connection from a public or corporate network

Clear the cache in Web Preferences. Open Web and open the application menu. Tap Preferences and then tap Clear Cache. This ensures that pages are viewed directly from the Internet and not from a

saved copy of the page on the smartphone. Then close Web and reopen it.

To confirm you have an Internet connection, try to view a web page you've loaded before.

After confirming your Internet connection, try to view the page again. If it comes up blank, tap .

Some websites redirect simple web addresses given to the public to actual web addresses that are more complex (for example, if you enter the address www.hpwebos.com/support, it may actually go to the web address http://www.hpwebos.com/us/support). If the Web app can't follow the redirect, enter the web address in a desktop browser and read the actual web address in the address bar. Then enter the actual address in Web at the top of the screen.

If a website appears static or is missing content, look for a Skip button, a link to a mobile version of the site or a link to a basic HTML version of the site that your smartphone can render properly.

If you’re still having trouble, the page may contain elements that are not supported by the browser, such as Shockwave, Silverlight, VBScript, WML script and other plug-ins.

An image or map is too small on my screen

Do either of the following:

To switch to landscape mode to see more of the image, turn the smartphone on its side.

To zoom in on the image, pinch out or double-tap the image.

A secure site refuses to permit a transaction

Some websites don't support certain browsers for transactions. Contact the site's webmaster to make sure the site allows transactions using your smartphone's web browser.

Calendar and Contacts

I haven't entered any contacts or calendar events on my smartphone, but when I open those apps, I see entries

The entries you see displayed in Calendar or Contacts have been downloaded to your smartphone from one of your online accounts such as Google or Exchange. In the Accounts application, as well as in Email, Calendar or Contacts, you can set up a relationship to wirelessly sync data with one of these accounts. When you do so, you specify the apps that should download data from that account. So, for example, you could set up your Google account in Email, and choose whether to also download contacts and calendar events. If you choose to download Google calendar info, your smartphone's calendar automatically displays events entered in your Google calendar—even though you haven't opened the app yet.

You can remove an online account from an application so that that app no longer syncs with that account (see Use the Accounts application to edit or delete an online account, Delete an online account from Contacts, Delete an online account from Calendar or Delete an email account).
