[TouchPad General] foobar1977:
I also managed to get a stupidly cheap touchpad and I have to say, I really don't know why webOS has been taking such a beating. Ok, the app support is very limited but I really like it, ok i've OC'd and tweaked a little but im more than happy with its performance. The only thing that I am missing is VNC and yes I know there is a VNC app in preware but it doesnt work on the touchpad, certainly not without a hardware keyboard anyway.

There are several website sites that just don't work on any of the android browsers I've tried but the touchpad handles them flawlessly. I have skype video which I can't get on Android either.

I'll be keeping webOS unless two things happen...

1) Android is available as a dual boot solution

2) There is no performance loss running Android
[TouchPad General] easyski:
I feel the hype, but I'm not sure why...

I have a nook color that I ported to android. Yes, I understand that it does not even come close to the hardware in the touchpad but webOS is so much more fluid than gingerbread.

I really do miss all the available apps for android but also really like how webOS handles certain things, very easy to learn. Might have to hold out converting my touchpad over until they get honeycomb.

Wish some devs would put their effort into making apps for the touchpad. With so many sold, there is a good market there. I am willing to pay for apps, I think many people are, but really, there are no good ones right now.

Things the touchpad needs:

FTP client

Be able to connect to ad hoc networks (for tethering) my rooted OG droid only supports ad hoc for tether

Better Browser (firefox!) i'd even settle for an xscope or dolphin port! The browser is surprisingly severely lacking

There are so many more apps I could use but would settle for the above.
[TouchPad General] ponyboy82:
This probably isn't the right sub-forum, but I kind of agree. I also have a Nook Color with CM7 and am loving the slickness WebOS. The lack of apps is disappointing, but on the other hand a lot of Android apps are nothing impressive. I'm really not sure if I would put Android on the Touchpad if/when it's easily available (of course, I already have two other Android devices at home).

Like the above, ad hoc networking, some browser options or plugins, and personally a better PDF reader would be great (ezPDF on Android is nice), along with others. Hopefully since the market has grown from the fire sale, some devs will write or port more apps.
[TouchPad General] foobar1977:
There are far too many pointless apps out there both in the android market place and the store for that "i-thingy" that people are always harping on about

My needs are simple...

1) A web browser that works and has decent flash support - Check

2) Skype Video - Check

3) SSH Client - Check

4) VNC Client - FAIL

5) Occasional HD video playing (Kinda check)

I'm really hoping that a proper VNC client is developed, then I can forget about android.
[TouchPad General] Sushibagel:
I agree with you guys that WebOs isn't that bad... However, I am going to port Android on mine for sure. The problem is the severe lack of apps. Developers are not going to want to develop for it since the Touchpads are dead. Yes they sold a crap ton of them in a matter of days but who wants to develop for an Os that will most likely be dead in a matter of years.

Something I would really like to see is a split keyboard like Thumb Keyboard or Swifkey Tablet. And Ad-Hoc Support would be nice too.

That's just my 2 cents.
[TouchPad General] c19932:
Well my problem is that the SSL web login for my university wifi doesn't even work on the touchpad, which pretty much deem the tablet useless.
[TouchPad General] Unrealwolf:
I dunno if you knew about this, but WebOS natively supports USB-Host accessories. Look at that video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXRcvN50-nU (i am not the author, and not even an owner of touchpad yet)

it's on russian, but you can get the main idea: without any modifications, using microusb host cable and powered hub you can attach any USB KB to TP.
[TouchPad General] Bxsteez:
I have to say I agree with the OP in some sense. I'm an avid Android fan and I was once an avid windows mobile fan. WebOS seems like the marrying of Android, with its openness, and iOS, with its idiot proofness. I am excited about a dual boot but to be honest i won't see myself using android much on this tablet. I'm liking webOS more and more everyday.
[TouchPad General] ace9988:
i would actually want webOS with a sort of android app emulator if the apps is what you're after....otherwise i'm pretty happy with it, just wish someone would optimise the OS cuz i'm sure there's a lot of room for improvement
[TouchPad General] 101matt101:
I couldn't agree more, with the Touchpad updated to 3.0.2, overclocked to 1.8ghz on both cores and all the tweaks installed, it's a pretty good OS. I was looking ofrward to Android, now I think I'll stick with WebOS, or at most Dual-Boot, though as we've seen before, Android 2.3 doesn't work that fantastically on a tablet anyway...
[TouchPad General] Sushibagel:
Did you load preware and overclock that helps smooth out the os quite a bit
[TouchPad General] trialdoer:
For me the 1990's era stock browser is the only major problem in the otherwise outstanding OS. I don't understand the logic of using such a basic featureless browser for such a critical aspect of the device.
[TouchPad General] muyoso:
Yep. The awful browser and no alternatives is what makes webOS useless for me. Love the concept of the OS, but damn is it buggy. Have to reboot mine twice a day because the sound stops working. Haven't rebooted my iPad in over 3 months.
[TouchPad General] Sushibagel:
Tried this with my USB Host cable I have for my Xoom and it doesn't work. It does however work beautifully on my Xoom :).

Is there something I have to load on the Touchpad for it to Work?
[TouchPad General] Bxsteez:
I don't understand how people are saying the browser is awful? Maybe I just haven't experienced the issues people are having. It loads fast, it renders the internet just as a desktop would, flash works flawlessly. This is by far the best web browsing experience i've ever had. The only other thing i would want is tabs and a search function. I know advanced browser has this but advanced browser is super buggy.
[TouchPad General] broy55:
I think webos can be a real competitor to the ipad, but many of the blogs I've watched seem to downplay the touchpad. I think a lot of people fear the touchpad is taking all the attention away from other tablets and gadgets. I've seen lots of hope with the Amazon tablet, but if HP comes back with another round of $99 touchpads all other tablets will be sitting on their butts.
[TouchPad General] db56319:
It cannot be said enough, webOS is the most complete and most functional multitasking mobile OS out there. My wife has been a webOS fan and we just got 2 Touchpads and we love them, so do our kids. The ONLY thing missing are some key apps (Netflix, Googles) or this pad would be unbeatable which it almost is right now.
[TouchPad General] muyoso:
Ive posted about it elsewhere so I'll make it short. Doesn't render pages right. Glitches text rendering sometimes. No background downloading in background cards. Multiple cards open leads to the browser never re-sharpening the text when switching between them occasionally (25% of the time prob) until you close the card and reopen a new one. No search in page. Barely any customization. Slower than my Epic4g and iPad 1 at rendering and downloading webpages.

Flash works alright though. I don't really get what there is to like about the browser. It would be awesome if I didn't have an iPad or android phone to compare it to I guess.

I just made a video. Loading engadget. Single core 800mhz Ipad 1 on the left, Dual core 1.5ghz overclocked Touchpad on the right. iPad is using Safari and loading with ads and all and Touchpad has flash OFF and is using an ad blocker.

Pathetic performance by the Touchpad frankly.

hello friends, I have the mini pro U20a, if I install this rom, there will be a problem?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] djjonastybe:
Are there custom roms?

How are they?

Do they make the phone significantly faster?

How is their battery life?

Are there custom kernels?

Can we undervolt?

Are there tutorials to make my own custom ROM and add existing scripts?

Do the custom ROMS have worldwide APNs?

eg SimpleGIO or whatever it is called... What is the info on this ROM?

But my keyboard is loading slow... It looks like it is not kept in RAM. Which may explain why i have to wait so long for the keyboard to load...

Not much choice for custom roms... Will it ever get better? I wonder why a crappy phone like Galaxy 3 gets so much attention...

Hey there everyone. Since XML files that are shared on the official mclock thread don't work due to our low screen resolution i decided to make this thread so that kind and creative people could share there mclock designs.

To share an XML file you first need mclock. You then create a clock using the millions of settings mclock has. After you have created your clock you go to the mclock config menu by clicking on your clock widget and click on save as template. Now you transer the file to your computer and attach it to your reply.

Have fun creating your designs!

[Epic 4G General] jdelano:
Wow

I guess after they checked our comments on the leaks they decided it need much more work.

maybe they should release the code to the devs here and let them figure whats up; then they can pay the devs for the assistance.
[Epic 4G General] duce102:
How the hell :confused: ...... Theyre just doing this to mess with us now..... if theyre already giving a build number from the future then they must be/have handing/handed it off to sprint..... Ugh I like EH06 and sticking with it until we get an OTA....

I think they are creating multiple builds in a day so they have to use future dates to name them. I look at it as a positive, they are making an effort to finish this one.

This.

I mean, it'd be nice to have it sooner, but no way are they going to knowingly release an official build with the issues we've seen. Leave aside the conspiracy theories please. As usual though I'm just astonished that after Froyo they have to even fix these issues at all.
[Epic 4G General] CapsLockKey:
Good. Having random reboots is completely unacceptable on a stock phone. Whatever it takes to fix the problem. I've played with Gingerbread and while it's nice, it's not worth the few problems that are still left with it. I'll stick with Froyo until it's fixed once and for all.

[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Not worse than Froyo yet. It took 7-8 months to get froyo, its only been 6 months, 7 if it comes out in october. Still, were getting a lot of leaks and EH17 is pretty solid. I do agree its rediculous its taken this long, but my rage died with froyo. Just be patient and stop whining like a 5 year old. At least they're working on it and making progress. I have a feeling they're almost done truthfully.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
I have the feeling they are not even close and actually getting further from a good release. If 30% of the people here who know what they are doing are getting random reboots, how many stock users out there will get them? How much will that flood tech support? Requests for new phones to replace the problems? They don't want a catastrophe on their hands. Until we see a leak that has no randome reboots for anybody here then I will think they are close. They rushed the Nexus S out with random reboots and that didn't work well and they had to rush an OTA to fix it. I am sure they are being more careful because of that.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Nahhh...dude working on it has vacation time next week with the Holiday so thought he would get ahead...LOL!
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:

[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Sooooooo.....when's the next leak? ;)
[Epic 4G General] Zeinzu:
I'm sick and tired of the *****ing... hey guess what, aside from some cool mods and decent performance tweaks the devs here, or any other site for that matter (aside from MIUI and CyonagenMod) don't nearly have the skill it takes to work out these types of issues or this level of programming. Let Samsung and Sprint do their damn job and just be happy they aren't willing to release ****forsoftware this time around. Also, keep in mind this phone was released with 2.1 with no promise of Froyo, but we got it didn't we? And most of us never thought we'd get official Gingerbread but guess what, we are! So just be patient for christ sake.

Lastly, and I mean this not as an insult to anyone, cause I like any other appreciate all the work put into this device by the dev's here on this site, but if anyone deving here was honestly "more skilled" than Samsung's software developers they wouldn't need to wait on Samsung's "source" to fix any of these issues themselves. Because is they were more skilled than anyone at Samsung they would have built their own os built from their own source and compiled with the neccassary compatible drivers and any other neccassary software compatibilities needed that they themselves would have built all on their own.

Just sayin... go ahead and flame. Don't care.
[Epic 4G General] Specialksg1:
Preach on Zeinzu, you'll get no flaming from me.
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
Just wanted to point out they did promise froyo. Actually, they promised it would be out into 1-2 months after release. That's all.
[Epic 4G General] digiblur:
Exactly. They can take their time tweaking it. Even the Infuse is still is on 2.2.

And to be honest the average cellphone user can care less he doesn't have GB yet. They aren't going to flip out and buy another phone.

Isn't this *****ing about *****ing.. ? Just saying... ,... People just grow Impatient after awhile... Understand this the epic might be the last best phone with a keyboard.. And EOL is around the corner all these new devices coming or already gingerbread ready with ICS releasing soon... I personally is sick of this phone all together but I tolerate it.. just relax chill let the people ***** cause ICS is going to make em worse
[Epic 4G General] poit:
Even if the source were released, it wouldn't include stuff like drivers, modems, bootloaders, etc. since that stuff is proprietary. Just the Linux/Android base. If that's where the problem lies I doubt anyone but Samsung could fix things anyway.

(correct me if I'm wrong here, you folks always do):rolleyes:
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
You would think samsung would setup a special testing community that would release code to for testing at regular intervals. (maybe what samsungjohn was trying to setup?) They could release code as it is but have us sign that we fully understand the following code could eff our phones and our warranties are void. Regular users have no idea what rooting is and would not venture out to test unreleased code. Everyone that comes to xda understands that the code that is released here has the potential to mess your phone up if you don't know what your doing. Isn't htc doing something similar to this with their unlocking tool?
[Epic 4G General] MikeyLee:
Samsung just doesnt have it together and neither does Sprint. With Sprint and Samsung it's been empty promises for years. The Samsung Instinct was dubbed the iPhone Killer but they did absolutely ZERO development on that phone. Then the Moment was the new Samsung Flagship phone for Sprint and we all know what happened with that phone. It's not even a matter of anyone "promising" anyone certain software updates. It's about companies doing what's right and providing support for their products and knowing how to do it. The Epic is just over 1 year old and between Sprint, Samsung and Google knowing what was in the future for Android OS they should have been prepared to support the phones and obviously they are not. **** em both
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
It doesn't matter about ICS...at the rate they make the updaes work on the Epic it wouldn't have been ready until 2013 and no one will still have their Epic then anyway.
[Epic 4G General] Fatonuseni:
Just release the source code as is. I knew gb was the last update. With the source code our devs can atleast extend the usability of the phone for a bit longer!
