This pertains to anyone with wifi issues. I rarely have wifi issues however when I changed my wireless network to 11 off from auto and rebooted the tp basically took a ****. Continuous scanning/connecting/disconnecting loop. It didn't stop till I changed the wireless channel back to auto and it went back to channel 10. My point is that instead of trying to manually specify the channel choose the "auto" option if available and let the router choose the best uncrowded channel.

***Note: wireless landline phones, microwaves, wireless routers, brick walls, and practically anything operating on the standard 2.4ghz spectrum will degrade and crowd the wireless channels depending on the devices configuration.***

Either switch your wireless network to a 5ghz, operate on a 40mhz channel bandwidth on a 2.4ghz spectrum with auto channeling, or relocate your router to a more open room with less walls and wireless devices (moving the router into a closet actually makes the problem worse)

***note: operating on a 802.11b/g/n spectrum actually causes wifi instability because the 802.11b spectrum is most commonly used among microwaves and wireless landline phones. Operate either on a 802.11g/n or 802.11n spectrum only. I use 802.11g/n and connect just fine.

The type of encryption and length of the key has nothing to do with the wireless disconnects. The problem is between the tp and router method of establishing a handshake via wireless channels.

Also update the firmware on the router or if curious try a different opensource firmware. Typically these firmware updates fixes wireless broadcasting issues or IP address assignment conflicts.

If your having a problem still and think it might be an IP address conflict you could try reserving the Mac address of the touchpad assigned with a static IP address so the router will always accept the incoming handshake.

Hope this helps someone.

Keep in mind that as far as I know.. EVERY damn WiFi Router out there defaults to Channel 6... with possible auto-scanning to adjust for a better channel....

If you have a busy neighborhood... I have seen in mine... That EVERYBODY is clustered between 4-7 which is very annoying and has caused issues for me with my laptop, TV, Phone and TouchPad.... I switched to Channel 1 last week.... it's SOLID so far..... Wife has even taken hers to work, and used the EVO Mobile HotSpot while there... then came home and it switched right back to the home network just fine.....

Use WiFi Analyzer to see everybody else if your neighborhood and try to move away from them.....

WIFI again

Visited my friend today at his townhouse where is countless wireless networks.

His TP refuses to connect and my TP that is working without problems at my house refused to connect as well.

We changed the AP settings to CH6 on 2.4GHz - no change and it would not connect to 5GHz AP neither.

Got back home and it connected no problem.
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
Yeap. I tried that tablet market a while back, and like you, found out hardly any will download. I tried a couple build.prop tweaks and none helped either. Dammit.
[TouchPad Development] Beanchimp:
Some of this is incorrect

Operating on a 40mhz channel just means you have to use 2 x 20mhz channels in the 2.4 range which causes even more problems as you only have 3 non overlapping channels to play with

any wireless device that *only* states b/g/n is 2.4ghz single band only 802.11b is the speed not the frequency although it only operates in 2.4ghz range

g/n are both in the 2.4ghz range too as is bluetooth, zigbee microwaves baby monitors, wireless cctv etc etc the list goes on

In the USA you are restricted to 11 channels and 1, 6, 11 are the 3 non overlapping channels

the UK has 13 channels so we do have a touch more flexibility, however in an ideal world use 5ghz for either A or N wireless if your device supports N

the main reason is that very few people use 5ghz. the downside is that 5ghz only goes about 2/3rds the distance of 2.4ghz but is far less crowded :)

I bought SPB 3D Shell yesterday with the 25% discount code. SPB 3d Shell runs great on my TP and phone (droid charge). Well worth the money.
[TouchPad Development] Noobla_Khan:
I can only suggest what I would try if I was in your shoes:

BACK UP YOUR INFO BEFORE DOING THIS

1.) Run WebOS doctor and restore the TP to stock

2.) Boot up WebOS and do a secure full erase of your TP(can take a couple of hours)

3.) Follow the process to put Android back on your TP
[TouchPad Development] InferiorL3gion:
My bad for the incorrect info appreciate the correct edits. Been up since 5am hunting Bambi and about to go find him again. So I'm a little unfocused. I was just stating what my settings was and what works for me.
[TouchPad Development] calash:
Sounds good. I was not sure if my configuration was causing the issues.
[TouchPad Development] shrike126:
So is it sounding like the WiFi bug in CM7 is related specifically to trying to connect in a crowded WiFi network area? Because I've been struggling for a while now and if that's the case (I live in an apartment with a lot of WiFi networks) then that would make a LOT of sense on why connectivity seems so damned random...
[TouchPad Development] lifeisfun:
There is another possibility in the testing we done, both AP were made by Netgear what brand you using ?

Any chance you can try to connect in less crowded environment ?
[TouchPad Development] shrike126:
I'm using a D-Link DIR-655 at home. I'm not sure how I'd connect to my home WiFi network in a less crowded environment without running around, kicking in people's doors and confiscating their routers. On second thought... :p
[TouchPad Development] Beanchimp:
No worries, wireless is becoming more and more of a black art with so many devices out there these days (its part of my job too LOL)

Tablet manufacturers don't make things easy though (well Apple in particular)
[TouchPad Development] lifeisfun:
Friends house or public hotspot?

Can you create hotspot on your smart phone?
[TouchPad Development] Beanchimp:
I don't think it is specific to CM7 its just wireless in general, unless something is going on in the background and the only way to tell really would be to capture the airwaves (not the network traffic, but the actual radio stuff)

The other way to tell is have a look at webOS in the same location does it have problems connecting to the same wireless Android is ?

I mentioned this the other day, it could be that this ROM (and CM's rom) have the wireless driver in some kind of broadcast ad hoc mode which will cause problems in crowded areas when on channel scan mode
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
Not necessarily. I had issues with only one router in the house and I live on 1 acre of land, so there's no neighbor disturbance either. I tried numerous routers(D-Link, Linksys, Actiontech, older Netgear, etc) and have finally found one it doesnt drop on. A cheap Belkin from Walmart. But, I was able to keep dropping to a minimum (once a day) with a Linksys WRT54GL running DD-WRT on channel 10.

There's really no rhyme or reason why it drops on some routers and not on others. Even with the same chipset. I think it's just premenstrual.
[TouchPad Development] jzen:
Wow, i just got my protective full body skin for my HP Touch. I put it on and totally dissapointed.. It has bubbles and soap film and really looks horrible.

Do yourself a favor and save your $30 bucks. I ordered mine from thebestskins.com because someone suggested it to me. BUt the product is a POS, no matter how careful you are it will end up with many air bubbles and because they tell you to spray the skin with soap and water mixture before applying it leads to a messy soap filmy look.

Going to let it settle for a day or so, but i really want to just rip it off. Such a waste of $30. I never seem to have luck with these type of things, I am not convinced that any work at all, must be some kinda scam.
[TouchPad Development] Beanchimp:
They should go in a day or two when then settle down

I vinyl wrapped my car and you use soapy water (lots of it) so you can move the vinyl around and it looks crap till it has dried out

this is the wrong thread though :)
[TouchPad Development] lifeisfun:
Zero problems using WebOS WIFI anywhere, that was tested by many people.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
My buddy owns a kiosk in the mall with that. He wrapped mine and i couldn't be more pleased. If someone did it for you, take it back, have them fix it. The bubbles did come out 2 days later but there were small. I put mine right in the case. Still looks new as can be...
[TouchPad Development] jzen:
Images of my used condom skin on my HP :(

Is it suppose to look like this? lol.

I got everything else working great thanks to leo and his rom. But i may have to rip this skin off tomorrow if it still looks like this...

I would take it back. I think you have a week.
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
Holy Christ!! :eek: That's..... Just lovely.

Heh. You said "condom"
[TouchPad Development] Beanchimp:
At least no one will get pregnant :)
[TouchPad Development] rwstarke:
I get my skins from either bestskinsever.com or skinomi.com. Skinomi has them reduced for the TP (http://www.skinomi.com/hptop.html). I have the screen protector on both of my TPs. Carbon Fiber vinyl on the back of one, clear on the other. Bubbles & haziness will clear up in 2 to 3 days. You just have to get out the big bubbles using a credit card as a squeegee.

fyi ... The lens cleaning tissues in the foil packet (Bausch & Lomb Sight Savers) work great to clean up the screen protector & make it slick.
[TouchPad Development] jzen:
I got my from thebestskinsever.com and followed to video completely but it ended up like this lol...

Do you think these bubbles and soapy stuff will come out in a few days? Or should i just rip it off and burn it?
[TouchPad Development] shrike126:
Except when I boot over into WebOS on the same device it connects at home every time without fail or any trouble at all. I should not have said "CM7" related as, now that I think about it, the same exact troubles came up when I tried switching over to that MIUI Alpha that was posted here also. So really it's TouchPad specific but not related to WebOS.

Not sure what to make of that.

I did once try taking the TouchPad to work to try web connectivity there, but that was a long time ago and it seems like I had the same trouble. Too long ago to remember any specifics though so I'll have to try it again on Tuesday.
[TouchPad Development] RyanTX:
my problems, like Leo said, lie mainly in the launcher and the fact that right now roms for the to are glorified phone roms. I was gonna try the regular cm7 install but I imagine its the same. I don't like the status bar or and how the notifications work. Probably had I never used honeycomb in the first place I wouldn't have these criticisms. Please don't take it as bashing because I will certainly come back to it once it is more polished - I do realize this is an alpha release.

as far as webOS, the only reason I'm going back is because its polished. The lack of apps sucks big time though.
[TouchPad Development] rwstarke:
Mine did not look like that after using a squeegee. It takes patience & time. Was the back cover the same as the front & required slightly soapy water?
[TouchPad Development] jzen:
Yes it req soapy water also, i used a credit card and also spent about an hour lol.

Maybe i just suck at appliying it but i am a very patient and careful person. Ohwell looks like I will be going without protection.. (it feels better anyways :p)
[TouchPad Development] RyanTX:
Alright, Im using it a little more now and kinda like it :) Are you going to change the way the notifications are done to be more like Honeycomb? Can it be made to not have the battery at the bottom of the screen AND top?
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Personally I wouldn't mind doing away with the status bar all together. If you use a polished launcher, you can access all that stuff from the launcher.
[TouchPad Development] jzen:
Been using leo rom since alpha 3.3 and have never had top and bottom status bars. My stock 2.8 beta setup looks exactly like icecream sammy.
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
They're all CM7 based.

Having issues connecting to my iPhone 4S' wireless hotspot since updating to 2.8. WPA encryption.
[TouchPad Development] j.a:
No offense jzen but that was not the fault of the skin. Was that the first time you put one of the skins on? I've used the skins from bestskinever and skinomi on many phones and 2 TPs and never had them come out that messy. You have to take your time and try to get out the air bubbles and most of the water.

The good news is that many of them will dry up after a few days.

The bad news Is that you have so many that you will probably be better off getting a new one and starting over.

Consider that one a practice run.

:-(

Skinomi is having a sale on the skins. I bought a kit for my second TP from them for $12-$13 with free shipping. It came with a clear front like the BSE and a carbon fiber back. Check them out if BSE won't send you a new skin. BSE is a very good company and they sent me replacement skins when they came damaged in the mail might be worth contacting them.

Here is mine after 2 days. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/7624/img201112311412221.jpg

It has about 7-10 small bubbles left which should dry up, the rest of those marks are lint and dust! Damn I should have wiped it down before the pic lol!
[TouchPad Development] shrike126:
Oh, I didn't realize the MIUI 2.3.7 build was CM7 based also. Well that explains why that didn't work...
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
Indeed. :)

I got the "invisible shield" from ZAGG.com about 1.5 months ago. It installs very easy and best of all, no bubbles. :)

i always say, we should all do what we do best,

and my attempt at invisible shield (i think it was)

on the Asus transformer. my o my. not what i do best !

i should have gotten a 1st grader to do it !

i laugh at how screwed up that was !

my tp and tf now au natural - perfect ...

btw Happy New Year to all you xronites !
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
We are having a tough time compiling the kernel back with the ramdisk tweaks.

Someone asked how much better could it be. Well, I would say as of now, MiSfit is running 3300 quad scores on stock kernel (no oc) so it will be a huge boost for performance.

Some (including myself) are having laggy issues with gameloft games. We currently are trying to get this baby clocked to 1.5 with battery saving scripts, the wifi boosts in the ramdisk, along with the sqlite mods in the ramdisk. If we do get this correctly, it will blow all others out of the water.

For those who don't know MiSfit, he is a perfectionist. He is all about speed. Make it fast and lean. Keep the battery good, but speed better. I tend to agree. I would rather this baby be smoother than butter and carry my charging cable with then not charge and have some lag.

ALso, MiSfit is quiet and generous. While he won't do this for money ( I have often tried giving him splits of donations ) he is in it for your happiness. (this time he doesn't have a choice, I have his wife's paypal address so we split right down the middle ;) )

We have much more up our sleeves that you may not notice in a theming standpoint.

* Zero compression

* better debug on framework

* boost memory tweaks.

While the icons will remain the same, animation tweaks and the above will make this thing really smooth for gaming and benchmark scores.

Hope we get an update to you by tomorrow...
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
That is awesome news, Leo! Mucho Thankyouoh's to you and misfit! :)
[TouchPad Development] RyanTX:
I was just explaining my reasoning. No reason for you to chime in.
[TouchPad Development] Silver_172:
brilliant news can't wait, stock oc aswell for the rom?

happy new year
[TouchPad Development] ashton4life:
Happy NewYear to everyone. I was wondering if anyone has found a fix or can give me some help on this. The problem is my date and time keep resetting to 1970 and some odd time. I end up having to reset it. This happens like every 8-10 boots. Has anyone been able to figure this out? I checked the thread first and found some conversation but no fix. I'm on 2.7 at the moment.

Tony

I just read the post above mine......dont even worry....looks like better and more important things are in motion!!!! THANKS LEO and MiSfit!
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
No reason for you to chime in about me chiming in.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
You know, this happens to me. thought I was the only one. I don't think there is anything we can do right now

kernel update: Have a couple kernel guru's that are jumping in to lend a helping hand it looks like.

[TouchPad Development] af250xxl:
I noticed the same thing, except it happens whenever my Touchpad(with XRON)

reboots itself for no reason. At first, I noticed the time in the lower right hand

corner was off by several hours, then I noticed the date had changed to 1970.

Not sure if this is related, but it started doing this right after I installed FS File

Explorer. (but uninstalling it didn't resolve the issue)

Oh well... it doesn't bother me at all. I love the 1970s! :) (the decade that I

learned to smoke and drink... not mention that I lost "it" during that era) :D

Back to the Touchpad. I have been trying to figure out why auto brighness

doesn't seem to work anymore. I have tried all the usual settings and it just

stays almost at 100% all the time. I booted back to webOS and verified that

the light sensor was working properly. Any help appreciated! :)
[TouchPad Development] ashton4life:
Exactly what happenes to me about the date and time.....:(:)

(Auto Brightness)

I never noticed since I always set mine at 75% manually. WebOS gives me issues when playing videos. Whenever something white (Like credits) appears on the screen it gets brighter then it lowers when it get darker. It does this through out the video even with auto brightness turned off, kinda annoying. HP support couldnt help either. :(

Since this is the most active thread and most knowledgeable thread I'm asking here. What is hot boot? Not flash. Quote "it should work but its recommended that u dont flash it rather hotboot it..."
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
it's like a quick reboot. It just reboots to the bootanimation. doesn't have to go thru recovery at all.
[TouchPad Development] Beanchimp:
Its because we didn't have auto brightness in the 70's it came out in early 83 if I remember :)

[TouchPad Development] NeWCuLTKiNG:
K

OK now I'm really confused. Long story short. After so much fun with my touch pad in decided to put my iphone down and get an Android phone. I got an xperia play 4g. I am trying to install the doomkernel on it and asked the author. He said what I quoted. But their forum is pretty quiet what do I need to do?
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
BWAHAHAHAAHA! You put it up! That rocks so much it hurts!

(And I would DEFINITELY say it's from your 4 year old!)
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
lol, ok that is a different story. I was thinking hot restart.. just reboot to recovery and flash the kernel like you would a rom.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
It will change....thought it was funny for the end of the year...

[TouchPad Development] shrike126:
So, for reasons I'm having difficulty in fathoming, I seem to have gotten past some of my WiFi problems. Yesterday (or was it really early today) I started disabling WiFi before setting my TP down. Each time after picking it back up and re-enabling WiFi it's reconnected quickly and without any trouble. But only if I turn WiFi off first. If I just set it down then pick it up an hour later, even with WiFi "keep alive" programs running, it refuses to reconnect.

Bummer part is, if I were in the office I'd plug this thing into QPST and run some logs, then toss them over the fence to someone who understands that stuff. :(

What I'd like to see is what's going on under the hood when WiFi is left on but goes to sleep, then won't connect anymore. Compare that to what happens when it is turned off, goes to sleep, then re-enabled after it's powered back on.
[TouchPad Development] Vincent Arnold:
