I love these things!!!! They bring all my Media to life at work. You owe it to yourself.

And don't get me wrong, Rocketfish was nice too. These are designed by Motorola, for Motorola, expect nothing less than perfection. Rocketfish likely is geared to many devices.
[TouchPad General] brad808:
Hey guys so i just got a shipment notification so I'll be picking up my touchpad tonight.

Where should i start?

Install Android? I'm very comfortable with Android.

install another operating system?

Good apps? Games?

Looking for a good browser.

Basically any recommendations for a touchpad noob I'd appreciate.

Thanks a lot
[TouchPad General] ponyboy82:
Congrats!

Honestly, I would try out WebOS for a while. I was surprised how much I liked it. I haven't bothered to install Android (this coming from an Android phone and Nook Color with CM7). For starters, do a system update to get the latest WebOS version. Then, make sure everything works (ie. don't go and void your warranty right away :)). There are some free apps you may as well peruse and download in the HP App Catalog.

It's not really necessary anymore since the latest OS update brought a lot of performance improvements, but you may want to check out the Preware patches once you're satisfied with the hardware.

I don't think there are too many other OS options yet aside from CM7. However, ICS, Ubuntu, and Windows 8 are all good possibilities in the future.

FWIW, the stock WebOS browser is so-so. There are a few patches to add some features, but it's still a sore spot compared to all of the options on Android (why can't WebOS get Opera or Dolphin?!). That said, it does handle most pages very well.
[TouchPad General] brad808:
Thanks for all the good info!

System updates, are those done via computer or ota?

I assume most software changes such as adding cm7 can be undone for warranty purposes?

I have cm7 on my desire hd so i should be able to use wifi hotspot on my phone and pick it up on the touchpad?

Usually i like to do a bit more research on a device but i got caught up in a $99 black Friday sale so i panicked and bought ;)
[TouchPad General] ponyboy82:
The system updates can be done OTA. I believe you can do them through the computer too though if it's easier, or you run into any issues. There is an app/settings pane in the menu to do it.

For the most part -- yeah you should be able to revert to stock if you need to. I'm not sure what breadcrumbs all the patches and CM7, etc, leave behind, but it should be possible. There's something called WebOS Doctor that should be able to restore as well. That said, HP's support has so far seemed incredible for a discontinued product, so it might not even be a problem unless the mods really did break it.

I think wifi tethering should be ok, but I can't say for sure. I think there is a thread somewhere around here about that or ad-hoc networking.

Lol... I know what you mean. I bought mine during the fire sale weekend with barely an idea of what I would do with it. :)
[TouchPad General] brad808:
So i got my new toy last night. Everything is working good. Did the system update on webos ota. Seems like a pretty cool OS. I did find it slightly laggy though while scrolling, surfing, loading programs. I also installed cm7, only took about 10 mins and it's an OS I'm more comfortable working in (plus i needed dolphin browser for proper tabs, i wanted to pull my hair after surfing with the Web OS "tabs"). For being in alpha stages i must say it's very usable.

What are some reasonable expectations on battery life? Webos or Android, standby or "heavy" use?

All in I'm quite happy with my initial testing, especially for the price!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OwenW71:
Using the latest version of the Swype beta, 3.26.92D.36178.t0.

I'm wondering if this is a Captivate issue, since I've checked it on my friends' phones and they don't have this problem.

When using the stock email client (not Gmail) and Swype, I keep getting an issue where words I just deleted keep popping back into the text area. If I keep backspacing, I can get a whole string of the deleted words. I can force it to stop by selecting the entire word (long press) and cutting it, but this is annoying. Has anyone else experienced this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yurkinator:
I have exact same issue. I am on apex 9.3.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkriedel:
This just started happening to me, too.. Though I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S2.. Latest Swype, and only in the Email app (for Exchange/IMAP email). Works fine everywhere else.

[Droid Eris General] Doosh:
Just wanted to drop a thanks to all the Devs who made my experience with the Eris worthwhile. I go it as a work phone 2 years ago just before the Incredible was released. I wanted a better phone and was sad that I had to settle for the Eris. But thanks to you, your hard work and determinations it was one of the most fun experiences I have ever had with a phone. The versatility that has been achieved by what I believe to be the best group of developers ever to grace the XDA or the Web is nothing short of phenomenal. I remember the outcry when XDA flagged the Eris as legacy and how this community pulled together to smite the admins and release the phone from its shackles. Long live the eris.

But alas, I am moving on...

Got to get a new phone and quite frankly, I am ready for a phone with a larger screen and more processing power. Eris and this community will always have a place in my heart.

Thanks for everything and good luck in your future endeavors.
[Droid Eris General] metalOpolis:
Well said. I purchased an Eris as a cheaper introduction to smartphones than the OG Droid. Android lived up to my expectations, the Eris did not. Then I stumbled onto XDA and all of the hard work from the devs. Rooted, with a custom rom installed, my Eris was now tolerable and could be kept current with the latest Android release.

Sadly, I will be moving on soon as well. My little Eris made it 2 years thanks to the efforts of this community. Thank you all, and hello Galaxy Nexus!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] ksoze11:
Hi guys,

When I look at the forum, it's like advertisements of new products which doesn't tell me a lot. So can you please recommend me:

A case that:

doesn't require me to open some part to access the screen

protects the phone well against drops

is comfortable to hold and touch (my fingers won't get itchy etc.)

And a screen protector that:

protects without distorting the image quality and responsiveness of the screen

doesn't leave bubbles inside (I hate the bubbles) or fingerprints outside

is a little slippery so it won't be a hard job for me to move fingers on the screen

THANKS IN ADVANCE FELLAS!
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Mutalisk:
There is a hybrid case, just search hybrid case sgs2 in amazon,

I'm perfectly happy with that.

Downsides:

- not so slim anymore

- more weight

But my phone feels safe ;)

And I'd suggest the Mumbi-screen protectors,

but you'll still some have fingerprints.

But once applied right (not easy btw :rolleyes: )

they fit perfectly

[Galaxy S II Accessories] Red_Vex:
I just tried different case.

I prefer hard cover.

I try

1) Phoenix tough case: i broke upper corner, rubber come out after a bit of time

Vote: 3/10

Price around 15€

2) Samsung Original Mesh Vent case: Too sensitive and since have hole the dust come in and leave and put it many times to clean i broke the upper corner. In any case it offer a very low protection

Vote 5.5/10

Price around 18€

3)Tpu soft cover gel from ebay: it is not so soft but offer a better protection than other but for it's material attire too many dust on the border. It offer a good grip

Price 5€

Vote 6.5/10 (for now)

At end i buy also Case-Mate Tough that have 2 layer protection but it has not arrived.

Arrived

Perfect case optimal protection and grip. 2 thing. Inside silicon collect dust and dont put while phone is on because it press power button to reboot

[Galaxy S II Accessories] 1xinfusion:
A lot of people are recommending products that does not stand out. I prefer to make my phone special so it stands out when I take it out. I like sleek , high tech looking things and thats what this setup is about:

I am currently using metal black battery cover:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263780

with real aluminum black phone case: (see akiba slider or SZLF slider)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263780

(SZLF or china made version on ebay for $30, search i9100 metal case)

with ultra optics

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263780

result is a Sleek phone with a premium metal feel to it. The ultra optics cancels out fingerprints while maintaining good optical clarity. (you may need to clean it still every 1 week or so like any protector)

If you are daring, remove the case and just replace the housing for 15$ on ebay every time it gets too scratched.
[Galaxy S II Accessories] prox4ion:
I got the Incipio NGP case as well and it is pretty sweet--has a great feel and is thin, although the back is a little bit too smooth but I still like it.

That is a good idea on the housing. I might try a white housing.

What is your opinion on a screen protector? I don't like how it adds a layer and changes the feel--and besides, the SGS2 has gorilla glass.

[General Questions and Answers] Gack69:
Carnagecjb is steering you right...I would also add:

1. Compare OS's...what OS do you think will integrate best with your other electronic devices, assuming you would need/want that.

I have 2 HP Touchpads, that I really enjoy. I have installed Android (Xron's ROM CM7) and can dual boot between WebOS and CM7, so get the benefit of both OS's. Hardware is good quality. Gloss black back is a fingerprint magnet, but mine stays in case so is a null issue with me. Battery life is decent at around 8 hours...depends on activities of course. You can pick these up in 16-32 GB setups for $250 to $300 on ebay all day long. Amazon as well. Leaving you $$ to blow on accessories.
