As an experiment, using your Belkin router can you manually change the channel used e.g. from 1 to 6. Theoretically the TP should hop on to the new channel and carry on. When I do this then all my other wireless devices including Nook Color CM7 cope with the disturbance and hop over. However, in my experience the TP doesn't and once it has lost connection due to either a channel change or some other major disturbance then it will never recover until the wireless is manually turned off and on or in extreme cases using fxr and entering the details again.

If your Belkin router does reconnect automatically OK then it points to some sensitivity to real low level wifi set up and driver sensitivity. If it doesn't then I think it is more likely something to do with how the wpa_supplicant is being managed. For example there are scanning strategies controlled by items like ap_scan which should match what the drivers are capable of.
[TouchPad Development] method2madness:
As I've said, this has been hashed to death long ago and drivers were discovered to be an issue on all the cm7 builds. If u wanna argue otherwise, knock yourself out. But its not going to fix the issue. The only pseudo "fix" I've found is using Belkin routers, thus my post.

I even have issues on the Cisco and Nortel equipment I manage at work. But it works perfectly, without a peep on the Belkin at home.

No problem. Ill give that a try later when I get home. :)
[TouchPad Development] ashton4life:
I also have the Linksys E1000 also and have never had a disconnection or any problems with WiFi. I did have the problem of wifi not coming back on automatically after reboot but that was fixed. Everytime I install a new rom I do an Acmeuninstall then I run the Android remover from Preware in WebOS and manually remove files left over. I have even checked for any possible residual partitions before doing the Acmeinstall, I never flash from recovery. Never had a single problem except for few known restart on shutdown and a few splashscreen loops.
[TouchPad Development] tbob18:
I got a tungsten and a white carbon fiber one, I did not use any liquid at all and they went on fairly easy.

It was a bit of a pain lining it up, but once everything was lined up it went on smoothly and looks great, a hairdryer helped smooth out the corners. It is nice being able to set it on any surface without worrying about scratches ;)

The only thing is I wish it covered the sides and HP logo as well.
[TouchPad Development] ashton4life:
True:cool: I ordered the Skinomi version for 16.95 shipped and it covers the sides and the HP logo. I'm saving it for later.
[TouchPad Development] tbob18:
How is the quality compared to the stealtharmor one?
[TouchPad Development] bobtidey:
So to anybody who has good wifi performance I'd also encourage trying out the test of manually changing router channel if you can and seeing whether the TP follows the change without manual intervention as it should.

This, at least, demonstrates whether it is a recovery from disturbance issue which I suspect may be easier to track down rather than some low level issue.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
I just ordered it.

use coupon code: skinomi25

Just paid $12.71

25% off for the carbon fiber one. Now Im gonna have to sell the other one ordered from stealtharmor

edit: Guy/gals, always go to your browser and type: coupon code for (????) and you'll be amazed how much you will save.
[TouchPad Development] havikx:
I think the last 3 pages about different skins and stuff could have been posted in the general section. This thread is going from rom development to the general touchpad discussion. I'm pretty sure there is a place for that.

Leo, been using your roms since day one. You say cm does the hard part...and while this is true... I've seen more updates to your rom then theirs. Thanks for that. Keep up the "easy" work.
[TouchPad Development] cdmcfud:
That is my problem too. After B1.2 my wifi went to hell. CM2 ran great too.
[TouchPad Development] ashton4life:
16.95:(:( :mad:
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
sorry bro, i've learned my lesson for not googling coupon codes. Not I do it for everything.
[TouchPad Development] ashton4life:
Leo dont sell it right away....I have a feeling the Stealth Armor is a better material (3M labled) and heavyduty stuff. I dont know about the Skinomi. Just wait if you can. The Stealth Armor is a differnet look too, it's more like a skid plate on the back rather then a wrap around, I like it.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
I really just want the wraparound for over the speaker section so it will help from cracking in the future. May have to modd this skin so I can have both...
[TouchPad Development] swalker50:
To late for me I ordered about half hour before you posted this. I always forget to check for coupon codes.
[TouchPad Development] ashton4life:
Hey Leo.... What overclocking app do you recommend? I'm using Set CPU @ 1620/192 ondemand. Do you recommend another one that may work better or maybe better settings on Set CPU? I'm not using a profile just the "run on start".

Anyone else can help if you have a suggestion.

:)
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
I don't overclock at all. Really because I flash way too often...
[TouchPad Development] ashton4life:
That makes sense....I read somewhere that there was a 1.5mhz model of the TP. I think it was the ATT version with the GPS. I read that they use the same CPU and clock it up from 1.2 to 1.5. I cant confirm this though. If it is true the risk with going to 1510mhz would be lower battery life, lower hardware life and a higher chance of frame cracking from heat. Not allot unless you go to 1800-2000.
[TouchPad Development] isanrap:
Actually hp underclocked the chips in the touchpad to gain battery life and as far as my knowledge the white 32 gb touchpad has a 1.5 ghz processor which hasn't been underclocked.
[TouchPad Development] j.a:
from what I remember the skinomi was also 3M.

Update: Just checked and the carbon fiber skinomi is in fact a 3M. The backing for the carbon fiber is "3M On-Demand Scotchprint Personalized Vehicle Graphics". I still had the packaging ;)
[TouchPad Development] menting:
you can't really say for sure all of them are underclocked. Some might, but some might only be binned to run at 1.2G
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
for testing I will use CPU master pro tho. Seems to be more stable for me.
[TouchPad Development] bluedogtouchpad:
Was wondering if it could be something to do with the odexed version since I installed 2.9 deodexed I have had no problems. I know it should be in the cm part of the build but from my experiance with wifi working and not working it definitly seems to be in the installing of the rom is where the problem lies. jmo
[TouchPad Development] ashton4life:
Thx Leo I'll give it a try.....Im heading out the door tonight! Peace!
[TouchPad Development] drpratik:
Does this support gtalk video calls?

Thanks.
[TouchPad Development] Krunk_Kracker:
I've been using no frills cpu control since the first alpha with no problems.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Not videos. Sorry.
[TouchPad Development] Noobla_Khan:
+1 For No Frills.

Simple, no profiles just governer, min, max and shceduler. Have had no problems from it on my Touchpad with max at 1404Mhz.
[TouchPad Development] InferiorL3gion:
Towards the wifi discussion. I am able to connect across any type of router flawlessly, however I have had wireless issues because of improper drivers either from a bad flash over or wipe. Method2madness has a point majority of times the touchpad experiences issues because of the already unstable wireless driver but to ellivate your issues till better improvement comes for the driver. Buy a router that you seem to have the best stability with if possible.
[TouchPad Development] hotts23:
I have had no wifi issues whatsoever up until this latest build. I am at college and have no control over the router settings etc. so that option is out the window. I noticed the issues usually start right after the touchpad boots. The wifi setting will just hang and then force close. Some others posted the app FXR Wifi Fix and Rescue, and that has worked really well for me. After doing that I haven't had too many problems, same goes for the other two guys on my floor who have touchpads.

So, I guess for those who don't have control over their access points try using the app mentioned, it seems to do the job as several others have posted now. But I am just confused as too why these issues would crop up just now, (i.e. from 2.8 to 2.9). It's a shame we have such an amazing ROM and we can't get better drivers to support it. Here's to hoping HP releases them sometime...
[TouchPad Development] derausgewanderte:
wanted to give my two cents to this as well. I have the skinomi carbon fiber skin (when on sale). The carbon fiber skin is great and it looks nice too (have it on my LG Quantum as well). However the screen protector is a much softer PU that is applied wet. The surface appears uneven when you hold it at an angle in the light, but it is not too bad. It feels soft as well. A problem is that fatty acids from your hand stick well to it and you will clean this more often than the plane gorilla glas (after using it for a while and taking the protector off I noticed a world difference in smoothness and feel). It's so soft that you can push your fingernail into it pretty deep. So any pressure points will leave marks that go away after some time. It's protective alright, but I prefer a harder screen protector. Those are more expensive though.

This soft cheap skinomi screen protector "only" goes for 7-8 bucks. The better ones can cost up to $30. If I buy another screen protector it has to be one that is better than the cheap skinomi one.

Another note, for the expensive skinomi skins you might get a lifetime replacement warranty (got one for my LG Quantum, also ArmorSuit offers that warranty as well). I first thought that is bogus, but it does actually work. I am already on my 3rd skinomi replacement skin after a year for my LG. They may ask to send a picture or two of what is wrong, but they have no problem sending the replacement.

cheers
[TouchPad Development] lowetax:
are the other two guys running xron or base cm7 alpha 3.5 ?

you start the app after rebooting to turn on wifi,

while i (and i think others) hit the wifi widget to connect. simple.

1 press to turn on - works for me, especially with how the rom performs.

stock, without oc, is, well, awesome fast !
[TouchPad Development] Sychodrama:
Will this Classic EVO ROM work on the HTC Sensation? Im using Selfkang right now but always looking for somthing better you know:D
[TouchPad Development] tommytomatoe:
No sir. Only evo. I am considering making a multi device rom though. :-)

Never say never
[TouchPad Development] Grizzy3:
So I've been following this thread ever since I got my TP, which was about a month ago, and i finally decided to stop being a free-loading onlooker and actually join in and contribute.

Wanted to just say that this is a great community, which is what got me to join in, and I love the work you've been doing Leo. Awesome job. Sent you a little something earlier today to show my appreciation and got your e-mail too.

I'm also very happy to see all the new devs coming on board. The community for my phone(LG revolution) is pretty small and we only have one Dev, so it's really nice to have a few dedicated devs on here.

Anyway, Thanks a lot for your work Leo and keep up the awesome job. My TP would definitely not be the same without your Rom. Can't wait to see what you can do once ICS is out.
[TouchPad Development] bdbc:
I definitely agree with CPU Master. I've had good results compared to the others I've tried.
[TouchPad Development] justfor4:
The 64GB Version comes stock with 1.5 Ghz.
[TouchPad Development] Nathanation:
Would be interesting to have a custom kernel.... but have you seen whats going on in that thread? i was going to ask about the kernel but i think im gonna steer clear of it for now lol
[TouchPad Development] kopitekid:
The app is not for simply toggling wifi on it clears the wifi profile. Then i can simply turn it on and re-enter my key. "even my 7 year old can do it now :)"

I use this as when i encounter issues its not possible to forget network at that time due to fc issues
[TouchPad Development] lowetax:
luckily, i never needed to use it

but from the posts I've seen, i figured it retained your settings,

cleared it, restarted it, and kept it connected ...

/mybad
[TouchPad Development] kopitekid:
Now that would be neat :)

Sometimes it fixes it but the times when its in that constant loop it clears everything down

Fyi. I tried changing channel back to auto last night and both touchpads had constant wifi scanning loops

Changed to ch 10 now and all seems well so far... Seems like signal interference to me
[TouchPad Development] djbenny1:
I'm getting sleep of death every time my TP is off for amount of time now, and battery life is brutal - I went to sleep at 7am with battery at 97% and when I woke up just now - 11.20am - it was at 60. I've got wifi sleep set to "when screen turns off" too :/ don't know if death sleep is known to drain? I've also got V6 supercharger. Possibly a problem? It seemed to work fine yesterday

Sent from my HP Touchpad
[TouchPad Development] djbenny1:
Edit - I turned screen off, went to toilet and came back and it had frozen.... Sound like a different issue?

Sent from my HP Touchpad

Edit - aw it doesn't add to bottom of old post auto on all :(
[TouchPad Development] kopitekid:
Is this a clean install or a flash over?

Ive found 2.9.1 to have fantastic battery life. Left my device on last night at 98% battery and it was 91% this morning. Plus wifi is set to never sleep
[TouchPad Development] fredphoesh:
Thank you Leo, this is noticeably better than CM7.1 build 3.5.

By that I mean it is smoother, more responsive. I have not found any glitches yet.

Only mystery is why google reader widgets have less options... perhaps a different version...

Cheers,

Mark :)
[TouchPad Development] acef16pilot:
Version 2.8 was running so nice and I had 5g Wireless working perfectly but ever since I flashed 2.9.1 (Clean flash from Web OS Dr and full storage wipe) I can no longer see 5g networks.

Somewhere in v2.8 there was an option to select which network type G/N/A but I can't find it in 2.9.1... anyone else got 5g networking working I'm less than 2 feet away from my router and my G Nexus picks it up fine?

Thanks

P.S great work on pulling in more dev's can't wait to see what you guys can do when CM release 9 for this bad boy.
[TouchPad Development] djbenny1:
It was a clean install. I have since wiped and reflashed and its going OK for now. May just have been the result of all the messing I've done with it lol.

How long does your battery last in use?

Sent from my HP Touchpad
[TouchPad Development] kopitekid:
I've never really used it from 100% to emtpy as its usually on my touchstone.

Just used 16% with my last 2 hours of solid use. Web, video etc! I'm pretty happy with that to b honest :)
[TouchPad Development] Krunk_Kracker:
Quick word of advice, let the TP run down to 10% or so on occasion. It's good for the battery.
[TouchPad Development] bluedogtouchpad:
One other thing I am wondering is when you install xron if you do the setup wizard where you set your timezone and time or not. Just a thought. I know that the right time seems to make a diffirence and the last time that I installed xron I made sure to use the setup wizard instead of excepting the default settings.
[TouchPad Development] vWvSTATICvWv:
WiFi has been fine since I last post. I deleted the tweak init.d like you said but I think people are right and your script is not the culprit. I also turned off sleep so that may have helped ;)

No SoD...Everything running smoothly since I last posted. Looking forward to your updates. Thanks again :)

Google Reader & Browser Force Close

Running v3.3.1 xronfied version of android with Go Launcher Pad Keyboard

It happens repetitvely that Google Reader force closes. Here is how it happens:

Launch Google Reader

Skim through the feeds with the "slide to next" option

After going through 3 - 5 feeds, freezes and force closes

Google Reader does not close but returns to the feed list

....repeat the above steps and problem persistent

performed clear app data, uninstall, re-install through market and same problem

Time to time, the stock browser also force closes either on the google homepage or while browsing...

Anyone else having thi issue? The browser issue was present on CM7 Alpha 2 but not the Google Reader.

Help and advice will be appreciated.

Rest of the functionality works great...the honeycomb theme and battery life is amazing. Continuous non-stop use of touchpad for 5 hrs and still at 51%. Awesome!
[TouchPad Development] L33t Masta:
After using 3.3.1 for a day now I can honestly say it's mos def much smoother and stable than the normal CM rom. And it looks much nicer.
[TouchPad Development] liehuo:
Hello all. Thanks leoisright for your effort. A quick question. Do your rom have the random browser crash? Thanks in advance!
[TouchPad Development] hostilebynature:
Hey great rom. I'm only experiencing one issue, flash wont work. I keep trying to uninstall it so I could reinstall but it wont let me uninstall. Any ideas?
[TouchPad Development] blestsol:
Video still grainy?
[TouchPad Development] benfikaman:
Try this:

-download app titanium backup ( if you don't already have it)

- open titanium backup and at the top press the backup/ restore tab

- scroll down to flash player 11

- uninstall flash player 11 and close titanium backup

-reboot

- once rebooted, go into market and download flash player

- then do a little dance :cool:
[TouchPad Development] jbird1955:
Good morning Leo.

I too am seeing that issue. It will freeze and then force stop. All in all it's a random thing, not all the time.

3.3.1

[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
We need to get a logcat of when its happening. I'm thinking it could be flash related. Won't know until the logcat
[TouchPad Development] liehuo:
Hi leoisright. How do i obtain the logcat?
[TouchPad Development] jbird1955:
Being a relative dummy, is that something I can pull off of this and send to you?
[TouchPad Development] deathtech:
A general Thanks

Great Job guys. Thank you very much. I also have an Evo3D, as well as a touchpad, and I must say it has been a strange, trippy, fun ride so far.

You have made this touchpad useful to me again.

Yes i know the lions in the den will say "webOS is great! bla bla"

however lack of applications, and the fact I already bought all I needed for android leads me to say otherwise.

Thanks !

.oO(DT)Oo.
[TouchPad Development] benfikaman:
Hey leoisright, quick question, would removing the dialer,sms,voice dial packages, etc that are phone related improve battery life? Also would their removal lead to other problems so better left alone?
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
I doubt it would matter. Ur touchpad doesn't have a radio chipset causing strain on the battery anyway.
[TouchPad Development] prgwhiting:
Still beautiful but terrible Wifi problems particularly with Spotify

Still a breathtaking beauty, but am having terrible problems with wifi, but mainly only with regards to Spotify. It's most odd, first connection is fine and holds for a couple of minutes, then it either cycles on and off (only on Spotify) or doesn't connect at all. It appears fine surfing using Dolphin browser though. Using a 32 gb Touchpad, if that has any relevance.
[TouchPad Development] effendi9:
This is a great ROM, thanks for your hard work. I prefer it over CM7 Alpha 3.
[TouchPad Development] zcrugby:
you shouldnt compre it to CM7 Alpha 3 like that because with out CM7 this would not have even been possible. This is a great modification of the CM7 though.
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
Totally agreed. I don't think they meant disrespect to cm or hope not. But for sure. Nothing would be possible with out them. They hit a home run
[TouchPad Development] bigb50:
no charge

I am having a problem where my touchpad will not charge. It will not charge on the supplied usb cable /charger or the touchstone. I tried to plug it into the computer, but it dies instantly, I have also tried home + power and it stays stuck in the drained battery screen. any help?
[TouchPad Development] djbenny1:
what is your cpu clocked to and which governor?

I think i would usually at least twice if not more than that in the same time period.

Mine is at 1782MHz Ondemand
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
thank god we don't have bear grillz over here challenging our team on ICS. He just challenged if I even could help. what a putz
[TouchPad Development] swalker50:
I did a clean flash of 2.9.1 and my 5g shows up and connects no problem.

I just have to be in the same room as the router.

You are overclocked to the max and you may have a wake lock from one of your apps, if your concerned with battery life you shouldn't be overclocked and use spare parts app to find if you have a rogue app running in the background....
[TouchPad Development] acef16pilot:
Thanks I'll wait for an update and try another clean flash and see if it appears then.
[TouchPad Development] a40dayflud818:
Out of fear that this has been addressed (my 2 day Google search found nothing) has anyone else had a problem with the device randomly rebooting when charging with 2.9.1? In a 5 minutes span I saw it do it 3 times. Went back to CM7 till I could find a solution.
[TouchPad Development] acef16pilot:
Just read that thread and thought WTF, clearly hasn't tried your Rom. Even if GB is designed for a Phone its bloody good work the edits you've made to CM to have it running this well and this usable on a device never designed for android in the first place.

Known Bug / Features that fix's it self after a few reboots they all go away and it "settles in"
[TouchPad Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I'm rather curious on this topic. Am I incorrect in the thought that if Govnah is set at 1500 or 1700 that it would carry over while using the Android ROM?

I learned a in a test, that if you were to enter the Android market while on webOS the market will identify the apps installed to the system. This is what leads me to think that Govnah will work in the background while in a different os.

Thoughts....
[TouchPad Development] Leoisright:
interesting...Gonna have to check that out (when I get my tp back that is). Now they are giving me grief that my TP serial number was from Canada. Grrr.

I will look in to this when i get it back.
[TouchPad Development] davec1234:
I just used wifi fxr from market, wifi is much better and I don't have to turn on wifi after a reboot.

Just an FYI.
[TouchPad Development] herrdude:
There is no connection with overclocking in WebOS and Android. Just install CPU Master and you are good to go.

Enjoy!

PS woooo hoooo first post on page 500.
[TouchPad Development] kopitekid:
Really?? Man that's awesome..

CPU is stock not running any overclocking apps as performance seems fine as is.

Edit: Oh you mean u use twice as much not get twice as much.... that's not awesome but u are clocked to the Max. I see the same battery usuage on both the tp's I have of which neither are clocked

Yeah seen that earlier... he obviously doesn't have one of these Xron-ified beauties :)
[TouchPad Development] af250xxl:
I also used CPU Master to dial it up to 1500MHz... which resulted in 14% better

benchmark score.

When I went all the way to 1700MHz, the gain was 23%(over stock 1200MHz)

However, in real daily use, I do not see much of a difference. :) The only time

I can see a real difference is when I have both of my Touchpads next to each

other. The 1200MHz stock one is about half a second slower than the 1500MHz

one. :)
