[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer_raj:
ocean water is salty and its violent killer for the PCB(board inside the phone)

why didnt u put this question after u dropped it in the water...

it killed half of ur board and its killing more...

any phone or electronic equipment goes in the water...so what to do next to save it from total loss

take it out..take out the battery...and if u r a techie then open it and clean teh board and dry it with hair drier....leave it for a day or 2///dry it again..and then put everything back...and most probably it shd work..

if its ocean water...the do the same procedure..but cleanin the pcb with ligh spirit..or if u dont hav that..even normal water would do..atleast it will remove all the salt....

then same procedure of dryin...

though in ur case now....ur phone is almost in coma..coz it was still alive after comin back from the sea ride.and it didnt get any proper medical attention :p..i must say that u r damn lucky or captivate is too tough taht it still was on...

anyways...ur problem of not gettin ur usb recognizing..or gettin into the download mode after puttin the batt...it was all because there were still salt and water accumulation inside...

just take ur phoen apart..and clean the pcb gently with light spirit..mind it light spirit...coz hard spirit can burn ur pcb...

if u dont hav spirit then u can use after shave cologne ..it will work as a light spirit....

and then clean the usb connector pins of phone using needle...

though i m really worried..that salt inside must hav started decomposing the iron..and while cleaning some part...some small chips or some parts wont just come out...

well just try..if u r still lucky...!! who knows....coz there is nothing left to loose anymore..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
I didn't post a question because I'm in the middle of nowhere with no electricity and rarely a dialup connection to use. After I took it out of the water, I immediately removed the battery, microSD card and SIM card and wrapped everything in a towel (I wasn't anywhere near a house or clean water to treat the phone immediately). 45 minutes later, I was able to completely rinse out the phone with clean water (it was completely covered and full of sand), dry it off with a paper towel and leave it in a bag of dry rice for 24 hours. When the phone was still acting up like I described above, I put it next to one of the warm vents on my laptop for a few minutes, then left it in rice for another 24 hours.

Now the phone works almost perfectly: I can make and receive calls and texts, the earpiece and speaker work, the screen is back to normal, all my apps and data are still there, the 4 Android buttons work, etc. But the USB port still doesn't work (which I figured would happen, since it was the first thing to fail on a previous Captivate and I'm pretty sure it damages from oxidation easily) and the Wifi no longer turns on. I'm looking for a better solution to backing up all of my data, as I don't have a large enough microSD card to fit most of the files on my internal memory.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Buy a bigger sd. 16 gig card on amazon is about $25. That should cover your internal sd.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GGXtreme:
I guess that's the only feasible solution? When I get back to New York, I'll look into repairing/replacing the USB port and wifi radio.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] killer_raj:
u r lucky..that ur phone is still workin...

and u will get ur data back once u get the external sd..

and u can still try cleanin the usb pin of phone using thin pin....that might work and ur phone will be recognized by computer..

Hey guys! Here's a guide I found that covers going through jumping into dev mode, installing PreWare, and speeding this thing up hardcore!

http://forums.precentral.net/hp-touchpad/293028-new-touchpad-heres-your-get-started-guide.html

Like the guy says, install all the patches he recommends. My TouchPad is quick as hell now. And sooooo much more usable!
[TouchPad General] erick161:
followed that same list, definitely snappy now. Also gonna go from my overclocked 1.5ghz to 1.7ghz
[TouchPad General] bcpk:
Nice improvement on my Touchpad, thank you.

How to improve the performance of your new HP TouchPad

Good article: How to improve the performance of your new HP TouchPad

Can somebody sticky this? Lots of good info the above article.
[TouchPad General] exhilaration:
And here's another one: Overclocking the HP TouchPad cranks up the speed
[TouchPad General] Christophicus:
Good question.

Also, is the overclock really key to the performance improvements? Given the gameing/video capabilities of the tablet, I would imagine there's a lot of power/responsiveness tucked away in the hardware that these software patches will unleash making the overclock somewhat pointless.
[TouchPad General] mapin0518:
Install the WebOS update from 3.0.0 to 3.0.2 first, then install all these homebrew patches. Otherwise you just gotta install the patches again. It takes 5 min, not a big deal.

And yes overclocking does improve the responsiveness of the OS. I just did it, it is noticeable.
[TouchPad General] archdemon:
when i plug the tablet into the computer and start webos quickinstall it just sits there doin nothing. Am I having this problem because im on 64bit windows 7
[TouchPad General] TooSlo:
I just ran this on an win7 64 bit box. The instructions are pretty clear about plugging the USB cable into the device and not the computer, then pressing the volume button(s) and power. It should give you a USB icon, then you can plug the device into your computer and press "next" on the quickinstall.

I can verify that it does indeed work. Maybe making sure that you're running the .jar as admin if your user account doesn't have admin rights?
[TouchPad General] archdemon:
im not sure about the volume and power button press but if i start webos quickinstall first it doesnt see the tablet and if i plug the tablet in then start quickinstall quickinstall just sits there doing nothing
[TouchPad General] jlove:
you must get into developer mode

[TouchPad General] wired84:
I've got the same problem - been trying to sort it for ages, I'm in dev mode - uninstalled, reinstalled, redownloaded, restarted twice and just trying the power/thing now and its now in the app but no devices connected - will update if I solve this!

EDIT: Ok I updated the thing using webos doctor. Then went back into quick install and it worked first time!! I would suggest doing the web doctor routwe for this reason!
[TouchPad General] phistyle:
I thought the tap ripple was cool at first and then I installed the remove tap ripple and have to say it HELPS A LOT! There's no lag when clicking links now.
[TouchPad General] looktall:
and one you have done so, install the patch to unhide the developer icon.

it makes getting into developer mode much easier. :)
[TouchPad General] pwnst*r:
Are we sure that there's a download manager on the touchpad? App states for Pre.
[TouchPad General] Nburnes:
Yes there is a download manager.
[TouchPad General] htowngator:
I noticed in the description of the CFQ scheduler that it can be an issue if you are using the F15C kernel. So if you plan to OC using that kernel then don't install that patch.
[TouchPad General] Nburnes:
CFQ Patch is only for stock kernel me thinks.
[TouchPad General] maxiv:
guys, how exactly do i overclock this thing?

i installed the UberKernel and Govna. What settings do i have to make in Govna in order to overclock the TouchPad to 1,5ghz?
[TouchPad General] Nburnes:
Click on Profiles, select OndemandCTL, prress back button, done.
[TouchPad General] maxiv:
really??

how about:

profile -> advanced settings -> cpu frequency -> max. frequency -> 1.512 GHz

and min frequency -> 192 MHz

???
[TouchPad General] Raccroc:
Have no doubt, unbeliever...overclocking will make everything much, much faster and is the single greatest Placebo Based Mod (*) you can and will ever make on this or any other system. Believe and never underestimate or question the absolute certainty & conviction of others faith based benchmarking results.

[TouchPad General] dhayden:
just did this and wow.... Had all the software but didn't know buttons to push to get this at 1.5. I believe even my web pages are loading faster too....I really love web os. Are both cores running now with this fix? Noticed both showing different mhz's than when I first tinkered with it. Back then it only showed one of the cores with values in MHz and the other at zero. Even at 1.2 this thing is smoking cool. Much better screen than gtab and lighter to hold it seems. The edges are rounded and smooth as compared to the sharp edges of the gtab. Almost the same thickness as my nook. Lovin it. :)
[TouchPad General] MeetFace:
As for both cores, if you are running the Eagle kernel (which I think most are), it ramps up the second core only when needed, otherwise it keeps it off to save battery.
[TouchPad General] willverduzco:
This thread here also covers the speed tweaks such as enabling developer mode, installing the patches, installing the kernels, and overclocking. As such, I am moving this to general.
[TouchPad General] decalex:
I hate to post here.. cuz I know it's the wrong area.. but kinda desperate, not getting response anywhere..

I installed the only touchpad theme when I got it, through Preware.. (Glass?)

Now if I try to install another theme, I get this error (portion)..

Seems like an easy solution.. just don't know the webOS ropes yet.. any help appreciated!

[TouchPad General] Domskibus:
Did you try out to 1.) remove the old theme 2.) install the new one?

By "Webos doctored": Do you mean a complete reset?
[TouchPad General] decalex:
Yes, Yes and Yes :)

Apparently the "no-no" was upgrading the OS without uninstalling the theme first.
[TouchPad General] VICODAN:
After doing all the basic tweaks preware, wifi packets etc.

I went in to govnah, created a new profile, went to advanced settings and did the following:

CPU frequency:

Governor: performance

min freq: 192 mhz

max freq: 1.512ghz

compressed swap: n/a

I/O scheduler: deadline

TCP congestion: Cubic

My touchpad is A LOT faster now and battery life is still great.
[TouchPad General] jarussillo:
Thanks. Your the man.
[TouchPad General] lolwatpear:
thanks ill try these
[TouchPad General] decalex:
Quick note, I'm pretty sure Performance governor keeps the CPU at the Max, screen on or off, regardless of the min. When you open govnah,do you see it scaling?

. . NS4G . . CM7 . .
[TouchPad General] voonli24:
I followed all the steps and it shows similar info when I went into Govnah but mine only shows CPU1: 192 Mhz or 1.512 and when I checked on my software version, it still says version 3.0.2. I upgraded it to 3.0.4 before installing preware on it. Any idea?
[TouchPad General] rj101:
Tried the settings and can't tell; maybe a little faster on cards moving. Hey, any little bit helps. Also appeared to use less battery than the palm default.
[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
I find I get better battery life by using ondemandtcl rather than performance. Can't explain exactly why :) , I read about it on a thread somewhere.
[TouchPad General] rubixcube81:
Will this wipe my install of CM7?

I want to try these tweaks, but not sure if it'll mess with my current setup. I have installed moboot and CM7, and I don't want to undo it. Anyone try this after already installing CM7? What were the results?
[TouchPad General] MeetFace:
Performance is akin to using the High Performance profile on your PC laptop. I essentially keeps clocks speeds higher, which naturally uses more battery.

I'm sure the OnDemand is more of a JIT type of scaling, so the system attempts to sense when you need more CPU cycles and ramps up/down the clock speeds accordingly.

Not the most accurate technical explanation, but that should give you a general idea why.
[TouchPad General] ncinerate:
Well, as the guy who wrote the guide mentioned in the first post, I can say with total certainty that you will NOT mess up your CM7 install by tweaking webOS using the guide I wrote. Hell, I probably have one of the most tweaked webOS pads out there and spend well over 50% of my time in android enjoying that as well. I'd even put together a comprehensive "android on the touchpad" guide as part of that post (with tweaks, fixes, etc etc etc), but the speed of the updates currently coupled with somewhat extreme moderation against anything android being mentioned "over there" kept me from finishing it :).

Running a webOS doctor might get rid of moboot (meaning you'll have to reinstall moboot to get into android), but that's rather minor. Also, there's no reason to run a webOS doctor while performing the steps I outlined unless you cannot get your touchpad updated to 3.0.4 by any other means (the update app on the touchpad for example).

There's alot more to that post too - I basically walk people through taking a touchpad from stock to functional, with fixes to the keyboard, privacy/security, processor speed, log killing, pdf viewing, hulu, video conversion, etc etc etc etc. I made it as a simple get-started guide and just kept adding and adding and adding as I fiddled with my own touchpad. Soon enough it was reasonably definitive (as evidenced by the 150k views, crazy!). I suggest anyone with a touchpad who actually uses webOS should follow that guide to get things running properly.
[TouchPad General] askat1988:
Nice guide.
[TouchPad General] amenditman:
Thanks, ncinerate.

I use this guide to start my setup and the ones I've done for a friend.
[TouchPad General] Moshe5368:
changes in tweeks and performance to webos will not effect your cm7 install. They reside on seperate partitions of the sd card.
[TouchPad General] addnaan:

[TouchPad General] Boniat:
Thanks for the oc info. Really appreciate the added speed.

Please note also Post#5, which is very helpful.

The complete thread helps in getting a better Tocuhpad.

Thank you.
[TouchPad General] bmcgarry84:
Ncinerates guide is awesome. I've used it numerous times for mine and my wifes TP's. Also running the Xronified CM7 and it's awesome. If you update WebOS you will have to reinstall moboot.
[TouchPad General] pete7000:
thanks again
[TouchPad General] Cubicsilver:
Awesome guide thanks!
[TouchPad General] lay_forat:
these patches are not available for 3.0.5 yet :mad:
[TouchPad General] ncinerate:
Yeah, 3.0.5 brought some differences in the way patches need to be applied to many applicatons - they are working on fixing AUPT to compensate for these changes, and we should have a working fix SOON (like, in the next handful of days hopefully).

Until then, 3.0.5 is seriously devoid of patches. I even say so in my post - just wait until the patches are back up and running and I'll update the post again to reflect the realities of 3.0.5 :).
[TouchPad General] sweetboy02125:
They all are back up and ready for 3.0.5 for those who didn't know

[TouchPad General] Sw339:
Do any of these tweaks affect CM9 if you have it installed also, or is it completely restricted to WebOS? Just wondering whether I should bother because I will spend most of my time on CM.
[TouchPad General] slm2008:
thankx man
[TouchPad General] rosystreasures:
I'd like to know as well.
[TouchPad General] ZionExpress:
As far as i know, these tweaks will only work with WebOS since they are all software based.

Imagine it like dual booting your own computer, anything you install or any settings you change on operating system A will not affect operating system B. Only hardware changes will persist between both OSes like if you swapped out your video card or something.

Even the overclock you can do in WebOS will not affect the CM9 install because it is a "soft" OC, managed by a piece of software, and is not done at the kernel level.

At least this was all true when i first got my TP from the firesale and performed the tweaks in this thread. I was also dual booting with CM9 Alpha 0 at that time so this was a while ago.

Anyone feel free to correct me if the above statements are no longer true.

Thanks!
[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
The speed tweaks + the preware stuff will only work in webOs. I use it (webOs) 50% of the time, give or take. It's a great os, and the battery life is much, much better.
[TouchPad General] CommunistDroid:
has anyone figured out whys thats the case?
[TouchPad General] Sw339:
Why do you use WebOS 50% of the time as opposed to CM9 or something else? is it just battery life or am I missing something?
[TouchPad General] ncinerate:
I still use webos -some- of the time. It's really not too bad for some uses, like if you need to swap between a handful of webpages/pdf files/e-mails while writing a paper for example, it's just intuitive and fast and easy.

It's also not half bad for e-reading or audiobooks (battery life), and CM9 still has bugs with music/mp3 playing (mostly when the screen is off), so webOS is the OS of choice for those uses.

There's a particularly nice comic book reader for webOS as well, my favorite from any platform, but I haven't delved into any comics in awhile so that's sorta irrelevant.

Also, sometimes, I'm already in webOS and I just go with it - web browsing works reasonably well in webOS and it's generally a pretty seamless and easy experience. Hard to justify bothering to reboot if you're already there and only doing light use.

For -everything- else, CM9 is the way to go. The improved productivity, high app count, gaming, MUCH better document handling, better PDF reading, better webbrowsing, etc etc etc, makes CM9 hard to beat.

Additional WebOS Performance Tweaks:

I had some WebOS performance Teaks listed in another thread. You might need to get the Root Certificate fix while you're at it.

[Video+Guide] HP TouchPad Root Certificate fix for WebOS cloud services

[YOUTUBE]L63RiBXhQCY[/YOUTUBE]

Additional WebOS Performance Tweaks:

I would highly recommend doing the following tweaks. Read the full instructional guide in the link below:

HP TouchPad Setup Guide Part 1: Speed Up Your Tablet With Preware, Homebrew & Patches [WebOS]

Download and install the following packages from Preware:

You should see a noticeable speed improvement while using WebOS. Also a few apps to improve functionality.

Note* You will need to reboot the device after installing most of these packages:

-EOM Overlord Monitoring

-Muffle System Logging

-Remove Dropped Packet Logging

-Unset CFQ IQ Scheduler

-Unthrottle Download Manager

-Increase Touch Sensitivity and Smoothness 10

-Quiet Powerd Messages (sic)

-Faster Card Animations HYPER Version

-Advanced Rest Options

-Disk Cache Mod

-Unhide Developer Mode Icon

-Reduce Minimum Brightness

-CyBoot

-Ad Blocker OR Max Block – Do not install both.

-Private Browsing (adds an option to your browser)

Reduce Logging & Patch ‘em Up:

This patch require you to log into Skype with the "Phone and Video Calls" app.

Once there place a call to this number using the dialer type: "##5647#"

A logging window will launch, choose to "Clear Logs" first then "Change Logging Levels" and setting logging to "minimal".

Once done, exit the app – your logging levels are now changed.

If you have never used Preware you can watch this video about Flashing the HP Touchpads A6 Firmware.

You will also learn how to use the WebOSQuickInstall-4.5.0 software to install Preware.

Both of these procedures are highly recommended and can be done as part of your post apocalyptic WebOS Survival.

Today I received an email announcement from PhotoVine. I could finally go download the app. I see a link for the iPhone app. Surely there is also one for the Android as PHOTOVINE IS OWNED BY GOOGLE. It must have been omitted by mistake. Checking the Android Market, I see no "PhotoVine." More digging on the net reveals that there is indeed NO app ready yet for the Android.

Talk about DIS! Google fragments the damn Android platform then doesn't have the decency to treat us as equal users with iPhone. If it takes more work to fully support Android, that's not my problem. The only message I hear is DIS for us Android users. They should at least delay the iPhone app release until they can support both at the same time.
