HP Touchpad - WebOS - Page 23

I haven't employed the scientific method or anything, but it seems that my TP charges a little slower on the Touchstone if I have it in the case. I had to chuck a no-name leatherette case because half the time the TP wouldn't register as "charging" on the stand. I have the HP case now and it is better. Seemed best without any interference with the stand, though.

I fixed it. I basically just bent the prong on the charger a little bit so it wedges into place.

Just upgraded from CM7 to CM9 to get ICS on the touchpad. Seems a pretty good upgrade from the previous version - much smoother. Hopefully the internet will be much more stable. Works quite well as a pdf/ebook/comic reader and web browser.

Nice. Would you say it's stable enough to use for daily web browsing and video streaming? I've been holding off on installing it because I didn't know how much functionality was missing in the alpha 2 release.

definitely. Although Facebook and videos crash for me when loading them, all streaming net video, web and Netflix work perfectly. ICS is quite nice too

I had a little free time this weekend so I installed ICS on my Touchpad and I definitely agree with you guys. It is quite usable and more impressive than I was expecting. I don't think I'll be booting back into webOS very often if at all.

What bugs still need to be worked out? I can't stand constant re-boots when things crash, but I can't find anything indicating how often that would be.

There's a list of known problems at the link below. I didn't encounter any rebooting or serious problems. Only the non-functional camera and the very occasional minor UI glitch.

Have a chance perhaps of getting a 32G Touchpad for 200....may be hard to pass that one up. Is getting Android running on this pretty easy? I'd like to mainly use it as a netflixer and pdf reader.

Kind of a tough decision, since I already have an iPhone so I was also considering waiting for the price of the iPad 1 to drop, and not have to worry about logging into two different app-stores, and I hear Android apps are more expensive.

Really easy. Download the <5M debug utility for the touchpad and ~70M boot image for Android. Connect via USB and copy boot image to Touchpad. Connect with debug utility and run one command to flash the Android image. Now you have a dual-boot webOS/Android Touchpad.
