I'm also OC'd on Warthog @ 1.7ghz, but think it is only working on one core. Need to check what is going on and confirm it is nothing major.

Went onto the Kalemsoft website and downloaded the latest version:0.3.7 which seems to be a newer version to your file. It works allot better than the version on PreWare, but still some minor issues.

The files all play, well the avi's & mkv's I tried. Issues I’m getting is when you click on the local files area sometimes it finds the directories and other times it does not. Takes a while to load sometimes and then other times it is quick.

When it is finally in my video folder it looks like it is listing the thumbnails or something first. Basically all my files have a underscore(_) in front of the file names and these files do not load. So I scroll down to the files which do not have the underscores in front and then am able to play the files.

I wonder if this is just a issue on my TP?

Thanks
[TouchPad General] qbnlykwhoa:
I don't recall having any of those issues. I will confirm tonight for you. At work right now and don't have the TP with me.

Not possible in the stock browser AFAIK, I think the advanced browser app has that feature though.

What are the alternate browsers available?
[TouchPad General] Randino:
Some help for your annoyances...

1. There is a patch in Preware to fix that, I've found that (Increase Touch Sensitivity and Smoothness 10) works better than the other.

2. O/C is nice, but be sure to cancel all the logging that HP has set up, it seems to help more than the OC.

4. KalemSoft Media Player will play .avi's but be sure to download from web instead of preware, the one in preware seems broken.
[TouchPad General] joemailey:
1. I've tried the patch for touch sensitivity, it seemed to make mine a bit less responsive, I'll add it again.

2. I've turned the logging of and it has helped a lot.

3. I tried the latest kalemsoft player from the website v0.3.7, it was laggy as hell. I saw someone upload 0.3.6 on another post on here & I tried that and it has worked perfectly.
[TouchPad General] chen2008:
Here is my list

I have both the TF101 running Android 3.2 and the Touchpad running WebOS 3.0.2 (for last few days)...

I would say the WebOS has a much more finished, polished, end user oriented look and feel as compared to Android. As such all those guys porting Android to this one, should instead port apps over...IMHO

Great features

1. No need to download the super crappy Skype app - it is BUILT IN! I was amazed to see that..

2. The flip to see what's running, flick it up to kill, WONDERFUL. In Android doing that is either impossible or a pain in the butt..most apps just stay on and on in memory even with Advanced Task killer.

3. Web pages screen display quality in browser far better..

4. I like the way it connects to hotel WIFI by saying 'Additional Network login required' in a notification area...then you just enter user-id and pw in that window instead of browser.

5. Great battery life, must be inherited from Palm I suppose

6. The screen flip orientation is far more stable, Android devices do that for no particular reason sometimes, irritating to get it to right orientation...both on my DEFY and on the TF101...

7. Even the market interface looks a lot more polished, navigation pane is great....pity about the poor choice of apps though.

8. Nice way of doing settings, instead of Android way..

If only we can get

1. Dolphin to work (not that I dont like browser given)

2. Native GMAIL, GOOGLE DOCS app!

3. More apps..PULSE etc.

Anyday I would say WebOS far superior to Android!

[TouchPad General] greenlant:
I am really upset by the speed of webOS without any tweaks...damn slow here as long as the apps aren´t open yet (e.g. starting the calendar needs time...and time...and time...)
[TouchPad General] tim.tahtinen:
I've learned to just keep what apps I plan on using often (browser, email, messaging) up at all times. The loading speeds are really poor.

The sad news is, I remember back when I had a Pre-. The apps loaded just as slowly on the phone, too. Has WebOS really not improved loading times at all in three years? (And who knows if it'll get any better in the future.)
[TouchPad General] bakerk:
You don't need to tweak or overclock to make it very rapid.. there are several patches that can be applied and effects that can be disabled to speed it up considerably.

By default it creates logs etc that are never referred to and the ripple effect that you get when you touch the screen, slows things down.. google it and you wil find several people advising on how to do it..

If you really want it rapid then the 1.7 overclock (warthog) is the best to go for.
[TouchPad General] tribestros:
I can't wait to put Android on it even though I'm not a huge fan. No apps, WiFi barely works on my building's internet because it requires authorization, slower than **** without OC and tweaks, WiFi will randomly disconnect and run horribly slow but fast on certain WiFi, won't log into forums...webOS has potential, but is ****.
[TouchPad General] ratdog07067:
I hated the browser, but after applying a couple of fixes I only sort of dislike it now.

I set my homepage so when I open it up there is not just a blank search screen.

Setting the cache values to 0 seems to have helped forum values and I can now also get to my Chase account (before when I clicked login it took me back to the home page).
[TouchPad General] silv3r4sh:
no worky

jake, i dont know what you did, but it's not fixing it for me/us - the date at the top of the screen when the tablet is locked, it's still in the US format where month comes before the day

:(
[TouchPad General] benrees21:
How do you set the hompage? Yes the browser annoys me. It never logs me in correctly on any forum. When you get the msg "thanks for logging in you will be redirected" it always goes back to the homepage and your not logged in. Grrrrr.

[TouchPad General] TooSlo:
Refresh the page that you're redirected to and it should show you properly logged in. I believe it has something to do with caching the high level forum page.
[TouchPad General] Lekz:
I feel this way... At first I thought WebOS was pretty nice, but it quickly became obvious that it is far from polished.
[TouchPad General] benrees21:
Ok thanks. It works. Is annoying though. Come on Android please bless me your goodness on the TP.

I saw this on one of the other sites. Tried it and it worked for me -

You have to use internalz to edit a file though, as i don't know how to make a patch,

but in the file /usr/palm/applications/com.palm.app.browser/source/BrowserApp.js, i changed the line:

this.$.pane.selectViewByName("startpage");

to

this.setUrl("enter the URL here");

This is in the function labeled "rendered:"

[TouchPad General] ilive12:
I think if HP didn't have such intensive system logging, clocked the touchpad at 1.5 ghz, and spent more time on there browser (because with flash and that antena its the one thing it could have had over the iPad, but as it stands there about even), the touchpad would have survived a bit longer. Maybe also had the selling price at 350$ and 400$, to compete with android tablet prices. But they would still make a profit even at those prices, so.

[TouchPad General] cubbieswin:

Yes. Just as Android and IOS say, "theres an app for that." WebOS you just have to look a little harder. ;) Most of it's because they got shafted on Flashplayer, though with the current one im rooting around and finally getting somewhere..., Flash 11 is hopeful.

I know Im not posting this in the correct spot, Ill go back and clear them later and move them to a thread, just making notes on the forums as I go with this attempt...to get flash 11..

I will Root my touchpad within the next 48hrs (with few known errors *crosses fingers* (i own 2) if all goes well, I will post the ROM. and Thanks to developers i've used from, Unlike MIUI..who refuses to give credit to whom they stole most of their ROM from ;) but it's okay, we over at WebOS all know :) (Yes I feel the need to call them out in every post until they admit and give webos credit where it's due. :)

Sincerely,

Jesse Kobos
[TouchPad General] bgroins:
Try getting the HP case. Gives it a nice rubberized feel and you can prop it up or lay it at an angle to type. Makes for a much better experience and you can lay it in your lap to read.
[TouchPad General] Unrealwolf:
The Good:

Screen. It has nice colors, viewing angles, it's 4:3 (which is a nice change to all those long-ass 16:9 screens, especially, for internet). The DPI thing is not so good, but if Ipad 2 users doesn't complain, why should i?

2. Overall hardware. I bet the build quality better then any tablet under 200$ on the market market. And the hardware hardware - 1 gb RAM, nice quallcomm CPU/GPU (better than Tegra 2).

3. Speakers are loud and clear.

4. Nice multitasking. You can launch ALL decent WebOS games (ALL 5 OF THEM!, lol) at the same time and freely browse the internet, and return to them in any time without loading. Shame to Android, shame!

Bad:

No USB host (i know about the trick with external powering, but it's sooooo inconvenient (at least until someone will come up with some USB-hub with built-in battery that won't require wrapping of a mile of wires around the TP, or CM guys discover a way to power usb by Touchpad itself)), no SD slot, no HDMI. And the speakers - why are the both of them on the left side of a device? That's queer.

UGLY AS MFer

WebOS. I own Samsung Galaxy S I9000, and, you know, i am not satisfied with it. I think it's slow. Even on CM7 it's jerky. Apps are launching not as instant as i want. That kind of thing, you know. BUT WEBOS!! It's so damn slow that my SGS feels like a lightning in comparison. Apps are launching forever. Scrolling is jerky. Browser is slow. Everything. I can't use the device because of WebOS - there are no apps, and it's so laughable slow that i don't even want to show the device to someone. CM7 is mah only hope!

[TouchPad General] hotts23:
I'm running VB2 on Xron and haven't had a single wifi issue. I have done several reboots and shutting the wifi off/on. Seems a lot of the wifi issues vary by person due to router issues and such.
[TouchPad General] sdemmitt79:
yeah same here

no wifi problems

latest update b.v2.1

[TouchPad General] getontarget:
I updated to the newest xronified which is based on alpha 2.5 and had no problems since. I used to have the wifi settings menu crash on me before. Also, I just changed the channel my router was on as problems are in fact linked to this. Try changing to channel 1 or 6. You might be helping your speeds while at it. Decide which channel use with the wifi analyser app in the market. I only did that in case it might have an effect. I still have scratchy audio when screen is off though,.
[TouchPad General] ViciousXUSMC:
Yeah it is more hefty than I expected, that is not to say its heavy just that its not something you will be able to hold for extended periods of time and definitely not a one hander (I think 7" tablets are better for that anyways)

I feel that a good folder case fixes most of the issues though the increased form factor balances out the weight making it similar to a book and you can put down the pad in a proper viewing angle instead of flat on its back so you do not need to hold it.

Given the fire sale price, the hardware, and the OS options I feel the HP Touchpad is the best tablet given overall price vs performance or value consideration and I think it will only get better.
[TouchPad General] nrnw:
some issues - help requested

folks, hope some of you can help with resolution/ideas for a few probs i am facing currently; btw, i got my TP recently and was very pleasantly surprised with how good the OS is....now only if some of the nagging issues below can be fixed, it will be great...

1. Calendar: updates made on Outlook calendar in Touchpad do not appear on OWA; only emails sent from TP appear in OWA; even draft mails saved on TP do not appear on OWA (my firm has MS-Exchange server 2007)

2. Email: HTML emails in Yahoo! are rendered correctly, however HTML emails in the corporate Exchange mail are rendered as text mails (my firm has MS-Exchange server 2007)

3. Maps: shows my current location as somewhere in the Atlantic ocean (i live in South America; my research suggests that the MAC address of my router may not have been resolved by the location servers, so they are probably pointing me to some default location

4. Adhoc networks: does not connect to adhoc networks created, say, from a laptop connected to the Internet through LAN

5. Sound:	after using phone/skype app, sound disappeared; rebooting fixed this I need to test this scenario again to try to recreate the issue, but if any of you have faced similar issues, it will be great to hear how you were able to fix it..

6. Apps: does anyone know if any of the google apps can be used on the TP?
[TouchPad General] sarge225:
I do prefer Web OS to andriod, it is just that WebOs has no support and the lack of Apps

I'm running xron vb2.2 but finding camera not connecting. Camera worked fine in earlier version vb1.2. Going to try flashing vb2.1 to see if it works.

Any one else find when the camera stopped working ?
[TouchPad General] carterusm:
Yeah camera came on initially but couldn`t use it, it won`t open now, also Google Earth worked on previous updates but won`t open now, apart from that works like a dream.

[TouchPad General] justfor4:
The stock camera worked great - though some other Camera-apps doesn't.

Wifi is fine (fingers crossed...), though on some older version I had also issues.

Fixed with installing a new version ( currently running XRON-ified CM) and wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache had probably done it.
[TouchPad General] swalker50:
Never had any wifi problems.
[TouchPad General] Solartrooper:
I have 3 tp's and have mine running xron 2.9.1, wife's and kids running latest stock cm7. The 2 with stock cm7 have occasional. Wifi issues so I put wifi toggle. Widget to cycle when it wont connect. Xron on the otherhand never loses connections and always auto connects with no issues since it's release. Going to upgrade the other2 to xron wheni havetime soon.
[TouchPad General] Grizzy3:
The camera is a know issue for the XRon rom. They don't have the neseccary files to make the driver work just yet. Wifi seems to be a hit or miss for a lot of people. For some people it works great. Others have changed the channel on the router and that fixed the problem for them. Using different routers also seems to make a difference as well. My wifi wouldn't connect if i restarted my TP withough "forgetting" the network connection first at my house. But it works perfectly with my friends router at her house.
[TouchPad General] mikehd1959:
the bad...

My 16GB TP's external speakers stopped working about a month ago. I've been playing with XRON in that time so tried doctoring back to 3.02 to see if it was some way related. Still no speakers (headphones work fine) with 3.02 and no moboot/XRON on it.

I'm sending it back for repair (not doing advanced exchange) after one last try with 3.0

but I have no case cracks, and wifi worked fine with XRON.

I got my 32gb TouchPad from BestBuy for $150 with the purchase of an HP laptop for my daughter for Christmas. I immediately loaded CM7 onto it and am really happy with it.

hello everybody.

i have to say that before i buy my touchpad i didnt spected too much for a tablet of 99$ but honestly, im more happy everyday whit it, i tryed all the android customs roms and all worked like a charm, now cm9 and works very good, just whit the knowed bugs, but for the way i use it, to play sometimes and browse websites is working perfect for me, just waiting the beta of cm9 and would be perfect. :D
[TouchPad General] jamesissocool:
Historical device

I have said it before, but its worth saying again...

I think that all things considered, the HP Touchpad might go down as the most versatile device in modern history and might become a case study for future platform releases.

Here is my point: Find another device that was released with a decent proprietary OS that went open source (WebOS), had so many developers working on porting several versions of another open source OS (Android). Meanwhile, less popular but very functional open source linux ports (Arch and Ubuntu) are nearly complete or are already in use. And there are even more ports possible in the future including Windows. I don't think there will be another device in the immediate future that will be able to run so many different programs and could potentially be a multi-boot platform enabling the user to have a grab bag of OS resources to suit their individual needs.

I can see a day when manufacturers build products and release the drivers to the open source community and let the users decide what OS they want to load onto it and reduce the cost of the item because the unwanted or unneeded proprietary software was not built in to the cost.

This device is demonstrating the potential of the open source community. I know that is was a huge flop for HP, but the Touchpad is responsible for disrupting the tablet industry. It put more tablets in the hands of people in a shorter period of time than Apple and all its hype and marketing dollars could. Most people who have one now, would not have purchased a tablet if the firesale never happened.

Just my two cents. Not a bad resume' for a so called failed device.
[TouchPad General] _Motoki_:
re: historical device

It's also, I believe, the first tablet to make use of inductive charging which I'm sure we'll see more of in the future.

I know the iPad sort of has a 3rd party setup for inductive charging now, but it was released after the Touchpad's and it's extremely expensive where the whole setup will cost you 3X what most people paid for their 16GB TPs on the fire sale.

Meanwhile the Touchstone which I use every day cost me $40.

[TouchPad General] jamesissocool:
If it's fully functional, buy it. See if you can get the accessories they might have thrown in for the price.
[TouchPad General] TheAmazingGoop:

[TouchPad General] Rolfsted:
I just bought 3 brand new in the box 32gb touchpads for $215.00. I looked at Samsung galaxy tab and iPad but the prices just seemed more than what I wanted to pay. Incidently I sold the other two. Another factor was the option to install android. That brought it up with the galaxy tab.
