No war will happen. Not if people are smart and want to avoid being banned. You dont shut down topics, you just remove the trouble users.

I wont get into the whole story all over again. The bottom line is that like many teams, they were on XDA and now they are not and are exclusive to another site.

In the end. Does it matter why? No not really and to be honest it is no ones business as to why. It is the way it is.

I will leave with this final thought. The sense of entitlement is one of the biggest issues. People thing that android is open source. Which is a mistake. Android is under the apache license. Which states that once a dev uses the code themselves for their own project then they own that code and it is theirs to do with what they wish. Heck they could nuke their whole github and no one could say anything really.

As for support. This device is still supported and will be for a while.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] S4turno:
If our wishes include things we can not control, we will be disappointed.

We can not control what people say about our work or were they talk about it. A certain degree of criticism is to be expected, we will receive suggestions, the assholes will be present and the noobs will do their thing too. This will happen when we create a ROM, when we run a business or, tl;dr, when we do something.

A developer is free not to create an official thread here and to ask that his public links don't get posted on XDA, but if the future of your ROM depends on that, then stop wasting your time because that's not going to happen. I don't like Facebook and want people to stopping sharing "my" links there, but that's not something I can control... it's an annoyance, but I'm not going to close my website because of that.

Something we all need to understand: Links are part of the internet, they are made to be shared, they will be shared and you cannot change that.

Yes, there are lot's of wrong things with the android community. Users asking the same question over and over, users that think that they are entitled to something, users that don't even use the search before asking something, users creating offtopic... but this happens even on DU's G+ page. Yes, it's bad, but that's what happens when something goes "mainstream". Accept this and you'll have lot's of users, or create a walled garden were you control everything that is said and were only experts are allowed use your work. Developers are free to choose, but they can't have both, sorry.

There's wrong things with some devs too, many are not prepared to receive criticism or suggestions. Just because someone tells you that there's something wrong or that could be improved, it doesn't mean that that person is a self entitled piece of crap trying to attack you or your work... You don't have to agree or implement the suggestions, you can even ignore all the negative stuff, but don't expect only compliments about what you're doing. This is true for everything we do, online and offline.

Regarding XDA and DU, I believe that XDA is dealing with threads like this the way they should, after all there's nothing illegal or morally wrong with these threads. If they did something else, like banning users, then it would be a sign that it was time to move on to another place.

While I don't agree with the "share links and we drop support" thing, I hope DU returns to this forum in the future and that XDA works towards that. After all they create a very good ROM and users would benefit if they return.
[OnePlus 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] Renosh:
While I understand that you mean well. Please edit the post where you shared links for the sake of people who want to keep using the ROM and avoid drama. DU left nothing we can do about it, I don't use the ROM personally but I'm aware about their 'rules' and XDA has nothing to do with them at the moment so the legality or morality of these threads may be within this sites rules. But it may jeopardize continued support for DU users so remove the links. It's fine to disagree but not at the expense of others
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonpaghiz:
I can't find any custom ROM or legit root ways for this phone. So here is simple thing I did.

- disable any unwanted/unused apps (eg. Google Play Music/Newsstand/Games/Duo)

- install Greenify from Play Store

- tap Kernel till Developer Options coming out, turn it ON

- turn off all animation in Drawing

- turn on Don't keep activities

- No background processes

- Force allow apps on external

- Restart

Hope it helps!

Hopefully we will see some action on this phone.

Many must be getting one just for nostalgic reasons. I was such a Nokia fan in the 90s. OMG dont get me started. First was 2110i. OMG.

:laugh:
[Nokia 3 Guides, News, & Discussion] taffypride:
Tried these steps, and the one that could pose a problem is the "Don't Keep Activities" bug as a lot of my apps keep asking me to sign in everytime.

Would putting a decent size SD Card in and formatting it as Internal Memory also help, or would that just slow the phone down even more?

hi,

is it skype working into the pda??
[HTC Cavalier] ibeqa:
Cavalier has Arm9 processor, and latest version of Skype needs Arm11 in order to make voice calls.

So, basicly if you install Skype, you will only be able to send sms - no voice calls (same problem with Hermes), but if you manage to find Skype 2.2beta, there could be a chance that it could work.

Cheers

My experience with the Skype beta on the cavalier

I tried the Skype 2.2 Beta on my cavalier (Dopod ROM). While it allows me to place phone calls, the interface of this version is all messed up on the Dopod making it close to impossible to use.
[HTC Cavalier] Tranego:
sorry for the delay..

i have skype 2.0.0.51...

but dopod 730 doesnt allow to install it.

how can i share it?
[HTC Cavalier] SD5150:
You can check for latest versions here I think:

https://developer.skype.com/WindowsMobileSkype

They point you to the 2.2 download now...
[HTC Cavalier] t2technology:
Use fring instead

Just use fring. It is WAY faster than the Skype program and it interfaces with your Skype account.
[HTC Cavalier] Tranego:
hey, great program!!!
[HTC Cavalier] goose66:
just copy the exe file from any ipaq version - i copied it from my HP - it works fine!!!

Skype works with Cavalier

The latest Skype update works perfect with Cavalier.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YesApples:
Hello,

First time poster long time reader.

I have read 20 billion forums where people continually say that "everything charges a touchpad" and "nothing charges a touchpad but original charger"

we are 5 years after launch and crash. Judging by forum activity people still have and use their touchpads.

what charges a HP touchpad? Do you need a special cable? Do you need a special charger? can some one after all this time give the definitive answer?

I have read through many posts on this forum and multiple others and it seems this question has not be clearly answered.

im looking for a "only a hp charger" or "500v and 90a will do it" or "connect nipples to car battery and furiously tongue the charging port".

to understand why I am asking this question. I dont have my original charger and i dont want to pay $40 for an american charger ( I dont live in America) I use a 5v 2.1a phone charger and it gives me the "to reliably charge" screen.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
Some are more picky than others, but I charge mine with any 5v, 2a charger. Time to fully charge varies, and if you use it while charging, it will not store much in the battery. Put it to sleep and let it charge until full.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YesApples:
So its more picky,

I am currently using a Belkin wallcharger that outputs 12w 2.4A. I have left my tablet plugged in and off for the last 24 hours and it wont turn on other then to tell me that to reliably charge I need the original charger. I have KK 4.4.4. Is this a typical charge time for these in other users experiances? how do we get it to charge with out an original cable or wallcharger?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theraque:
I too would like to get to the bottom of this. I use the original charger and cable and from a dead battery takes a goot 15hrs before it boots up. The only indication its charging is the home button LED that flashed back and forth. I've tried 3rd party chargers and none work. I've tried 3rd party cables and none work.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shumash:
It is a well-known fact that allowing the battery to fully discharge is problematic at best, disastrous at worst. None of the chargers are reliable when this occurs. The simple answer is don't let the battery go below about 10% before recharging, or you may not recover your tablet without having to debrick it.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MakeMeFibonacci:
This has been my experience:

Any old charger and cable will charge a Touchpad so long as the battery isn't completely dead. If the battery is completely dead, then there is a way to get enough power to turn it on without needing the original charger or cable. You simply plug it into the USB port of any computer and let it sit. Let it sit for a long time. I let mine sit for a day before trying to power it back on.

YMMV, but I've had success with that method.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nevertells2:
You are right about the many discussions about what chargers work with the TouchPad and which ones don't. I have sat in on many of them as well as done some testing of my own. The rule of thumb is it is best to use the official HP TouchPad charger. HP for some reason made the charging circuits proprietary on the TouchPad so that if you use a third party charger rated the same as the official one, it will charge but only at the lowest rate of 500mA. You can also charge the TP from a PC usb port, but again it is rated at 500mA. The catch is the TP uses more than 500mA when awake, so to use one of these methods, the TP has to be put to sleep or be turned off and will charge very slowly. That being said, you may find a third party charger that will charge the TP at the higher rate, but they are rare. At one time I was aware of a user who was modifying USB cords so that you could use a third party charger. He used to have a thread on RootzWiki forum, but that that forum was pretty much destroyed by spammers and his thread was lost. He had instructions with pictures and parts lists. Also, keep in mind, any good USB cable will work with the original HP charger. It's the modification that he was making to the cable that tricked the TP into thinking it is connected to a real HP charger.

However, I did find this post from a fellow that knows the mod one needs to make to get a third party charger to work with a TP:

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YesApples:
I have confirmed all that you have said and now know this to be the definitive answer, since OP I have purchased 12 chargers advertising different automatic charge regulation features such as belkin "smart" chargers, none would charge over 500ma which of course as we now know is not sufficient to use the TP and takes days to charge, not what i would call functional.

I made a messy hack job charger.. im definitively not great at that and between an accident prone wife and 2 small children, my end result wasnt good enough to let charge alone next to the couch or something.

Finally, while i did all this I had a HP charger on order with an American wall plug ( i live in western Australia so different plug and long postage time) this charger works as expected and in my research was the only functional way to charge the TP

THANKS TEAM. we got there in the end.

Definitive answer... maybe...? 5.3+ volts and 2.0+ amps...?

In seeking the same answer as you I seem to have stumbled upon a couple options that explain the answer...

Here I wanted to post a "Screenshot of HP forum answer regarding HP Tablet charger reqs" but the forum bots won't allow it...

So the screenshot the i wanted to include above will not post properly, i'll explain... the screenshot showed a h30434.www3.hp com/t5/Tablets-and-Mobile-Devices-Archive-Read-Only/Need-a-charger-for-my-HP-10-2101-Tablet/td-p/5962461" post on the HP support forum of someone asking basically the same question... specifically about the HP 10 2101 Tablet... forum user "Wyrenut" (has over 16,000 posts on the HP support forum) states confidently;

You can find one at pretty much any computer/electronics store, or online at amazon com​

It just needs to be rated for a tablet - providing at least 2.0 amps of DC current and at least 5.3 volts, and a micro-USB port on the tablet end.​

"

This seems to check out thus far in this quest for tablet power because I was able to find in my adapter bin a 5.1 volts DC @ 2.4 amp charger with a micro-USB end and after hours of being plugged in, and that has failed to charge an HP TouchPad 32GB I recently acquired without a charger. So I am currently seeking an adapter that will satisfy "Wyrenut's" stated requirements for an HP Tablet charger and once I get my hands on one, we will have the definitive answer and I will followup on this thread as well.

Useful infos to include in the definitive answer...?

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanras:
Yeah, I found the Touchstone charger as well. I think that's probably the best choice, because not only is it pretty cheap and gets me a stand, but it also comes with the original barrel charger required for the proprietary HP charging circuit to use the full 2 Amps. (So I assume I could then use that barrel charger with a micro usb cable as a wired charger if I didn't want to use the wireless stand)

Still, I'm impressed a 2011 device has wireless charging. If I do buy that Touchstone, I'll probably just use the wireless charging for convenience.

Anyway, I first need to get this thing to boot. I have the (seemingly) common dead battery issue. I received this tablet from a friend for free, he said it was barely ever used and then put away in storage. The tablet is in like-new condition, so I believe him on that.

I've plugged it into a 5V 2A (10W) USB charger from a Moto G Pure, and it's currently alternating between two lights on the home button. (And has been doing so for the last 8 hours or so). I'll leave it overnight as well.

At that point, I assume I should start trying power vol and home button combos to try to turn it on? Do you have any suggestions on what I should do to get this tablet to boot?

Once I can get it to turn on, I'll probably look into getting the original charger (that Touchstone). Until it works though, I don't really want to invest $12 to $16 into this thing and then be left with a useless wireless charging stand.

I assume using a non original charger for now shouldn't be much of a problem apart from the charging being slow. It'll still charge, after all, even if at 500mA.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Yes the barrel charger from the wireless charger (Touchstone) can be use with any other USB cable and be use that way.

The HP Touchpad in 2011 had features not even available in devices at this moment in 2022.

Any charger providing exactly an output of 5.3 volts 2.0 amps will work, it does not need to be the original HP charger but with the same specs.

There is no special trick, just charge it in a warm room temperature above 80F with the right charger. Lithium batteries does not charge well in cold.

After it boots and is 100% charge the Tablet can be charge with any charger, but always keep it plug in ( charging ), never let it discharge.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanras:
Ok, well, I don't have anything at 5.3 exactly, only 5.0V. I guess I'll go and buy a touchstone charger so I get the stand and barrel charger, so that it has the correct output. I really didn't think 0.3V would make much of a difference though.

Anyway, once I plug it into the original charger, how do I know when it is ready to turn on? Will it just turn on by itself, show a charging icon, or something else?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HP_TOUCHPAD:
It could probably work, give it a try.

1. LED light blink from side to side. ( The tablet's battery is depleted, but taking charge ( awake ). Leave it until it boots, it could take a week.

2. Second stage ( a battery sign with a red line under it ) will show on the screen.

3. It will boot.

Look at this guide for the info.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanras:
Alright. Mine is blinking left/right, so I'll leave it until I see anything on the screen. (I shouldn't need to touch any buttons, right?)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanras:
Welp, I just bought a TouchStone. The eBay seller was surprisingly fast at replying to my offer, so now I have an in-box TouchStone charger arriving in a week for $13 and free shipping :). Not bad.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Great !

The TouchStone for some reason charge faster and better that USB.

Always keep the Tablet charging, never let the battery drain.

Have FUN!
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HP_TOUCHPAD:
No need to press any buttons, keep it charging and make sure the Tablet is in a warm room temperature of 80F.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanras:
I think 70F will have to do. It's winter, there's no way I can find a single place in the house warm enough to reach that temp.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HP_TOUCHPAD:
That is too cold, it will take longer to charge or not even boot. Try to cover it, keep it warm.

There is a reason to follow directions on how to get this done, otherwise you will not get the results.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanras:
Ok, I've wrapped it in a blanket for now. I did notice it makes a bit of heat (towards the top of the device), so hopefully that accumulates and makes it a bit warmer.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanras:
Alright. I've received my TouchStone charger today. Currently I plugged in the dock, and set the tablet on the dock to charge. It's blinking left and right again, so at least I know the dock does work.

Should I keep charging it wirelessly, or should I plug a Micro USB cable into the barrel charger and charge it that way?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Use the wireless charger, it charges better than using the USB.

The Tablet should have booted by now.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanras:
No, I've still only got the home button light indicator. Reading around, I think you may be right that it's a bit too cold. I've moved it to the sunny side of the house now, near a window so the sunlight would warm it up. Hopefully that helps the battery charge.

Another interesting thing: I popped out the sim card tray in my Touchpad, and there is an IMEI number on the back along with some other serials. There is also an orange SIM card inserted with some text on it. I can't tell what carrier it is though, the text is the only thing on it.

Does this mean that my Touchpad is a model with cellular capability? (Otherwise I don't see why it would have an IMEI number)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanras:
Well, interesting thing. Now that it's gotten very warm from the sunlight, the home button indicator is blinking left and right steadily. Before that, it would stick to the left light more, switch to right light, and quickly switch back to left. Now the indicator seems to spend the same amount of time on each light, so I assume that's a good thing.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanras:
Alright, it finally booted up!

On the wireless charger, it started doing this thing where the lights would go off, come back on, and cycle like that. I took it off the wireless stand and plugged it into USB, and after a while it popped up with the red battery icon, and then booted into WebOS.

I believe mine is an HP TouchPad 4G. It says Check SIM in the top left, and I also have a "SIM not provisioned" notification.

However, the tablet is passcode locked. IDK if my friend knows the pass after all this time. What's the easiest way to get the passcode off? Is there a recovery like on Android devices that I can boot to?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanras:
Scratch that, I got the pin code for the tablet now. So I guess I'll let it charge to 100%, then get started on CyanogenMod.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Congratulations !

It could be a 4G model and then it could also have 64GB of storage.

I have not tried to reset a webos passcode, but if you do a search you can find how it can be done:

https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Table...ouchpad-if-i-forgot-the-password/td-p/2196983
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HP_TOUCHPAD:
Yes let it charge to 100%. The Tablet can be set up any way you want, is all up to you.

Keep in mind , a lot have changed since Android was first release for the Tablet 10 years ago.

You can use that process or new ones, but do not worry there is nothing you can do that will brick it. There is always a way to get it back and working, no matter what you do. But keep it charging at all time, never let it discharge, that is the magic. Have fun !
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sanras:
Looks like the tablet is 32GB (checked device info). I think all 4G variants are 32 actually. Wasn't it the white ones that are 64?

Also, it's on webOS 3.0.1
