[TouchPad Development] EricBlade:
My original TP has been running strong, in webOS, Dr. Battery shows it reports a battery health of 93%.. down from 98% when it was new. Got it the week of the original fire sale announcement. It just started getting the common cracks around the edges of the speakers about 4 months ago, after it had logged many thousands of miles of travel. It had also been in a major impact incident with some pavement, which put a huge gouge in my iPad2's back, but didn't even so much as ding the plastic on the touchpad, even though the touchpad absorbed most of the impact. It had been in it's case, though, since day 3 (it took me that long to find a case). Once I saw the speaker cracks, I decided it was time to probably keep it at home, so they didn't spread. I put a little tiny bit of crazy glue on it (was afraid of it damaging the plastic) and that seems to have kept the cracks from spreading... so, anyway, I took it's case off, put it on a spare touchstone, and then brought my 4G into service as my normal. (Hoping that we'll eventually get an Evervolv with data working ;) ) The batteries still last darn near as long as they did when new, which is a lot more than I can say for the iPad 2, which is a couple of months newer. The iPad 2 has an absolutely phenomenal standby time (still over a month, with WiFi connected!) but it's total run time in constant use has dropped by at least 30% or more.

Anyway, onto the latest build - i reflashed it, loaded gapps minimal, loaded my Titanium Backup, and everything seems to be honkey-dorey (or however you spell that).. I haven't really hammered on it very much.

Z-Device Test:

Camera reported as not being present -- Camera app shows that it's actually working far better than I've ever seen this camera respond. (I could see some apps possibly being confused, though, or maybe Z-Device Test is using a not-normal way of detecting it..)

GPS not present (4g does have, not really expecting it to be supported any time soon ..)

WiFi working (although I did have to reboot once after the first install to get to my WPA2 5g connection)

Bluetooth -- present but non-functional

GSM/UMTS -- present?! no SIM inserted (true)

Accelerometers -- look A-OK

Compass -- X and Z seem to be working, Y seems to be off by quite a bit, but it's not switching the Y and one of the others like old ones did. Looks like Y might need some multiplication added to it.

Battery: says voltage is 4.0V .. should be poking around 6.0V shouldn't it? guessing it's a reporting failure, not a device failure

Microphone test: Kills audio on device, leading to a system crash after a short bit ..

Light sensor: showing that it supports 0-3000lux, resolution of +/- 1lux. Hand covering light sensor = 2lux. Normal room brightness at night with my overhead light on and monitors running = 180lux. Shine my N5 flashlight directly at it, 1000lux .. put the N5 light right in front of it, 30000+ lux (yes 10x the reported max supported) .. I'll give it a spin in the daytime tomorrow. Looks like the light sensor is working great, although the outputs might be low. I don't know what my lux rating on my bulbs are, but if 180 is right, then I'm in dire need of a lighting upgrade in my office

Temp sensor? is that the battery temp? wandering around 42deg

Gyro, Gravity, Accel sensors seem correct, Rotation vector seems a bit slow on the X, which might correspond to the Compass Y seeming very slow.

Just installed Google Now, turned off auto detection, tapped the mic button, and everything locked up. Looks like the mic is killing the system 100% again :(

So, I guess the major problems then are Bluetooth and Microphone.
