mine losses around 1% every 2 minutes.
Was it good before then?
Kind of why I haven't done the .5 update. I'm getting surprisingly good battery life in stand-by and since that patch doesn't seem to address the wifi or touchscreen not awakening from sleep (only happened once), I've decided it's not worth risking things.
Is it possible wif is staying on during sleep? Back when I was having issues with notification and searching everywhere under settings, I know I found a setting that disabled wifi during sleep. For the life of me, I can't find where it was now.
When you're in Wifi, hit the ellipses and go to advanced.
I'm not disabling wifi in sleep because there are still issues with it trying to maintain a connection:
So yeah, I guess not as good as Alpha 3.5, but tolerable. You need to remember that this was only Alpha 0 so of course Web OS is going to be the stable alternative for now. As far as I'm concerned, for my uses, this 4.0.3 rom in its current state is nearly good enough for me.

Not sure but it seemed better than that. At least when it was 'idling' and the screen was off.
edit: I had only installed ICS 0 about a day before 0.5 came out so I hadn't really messed around with it too much.
I ran 8x9 (it really shouldnt be a square anyway since the screen is not a square) and it seemed to look good. I only tested in portrait momentarily though, so I will double check that later.
Well this sucks. After going through the whole compatible market process outlined above, the new marketplace seemed to work for me only for 18 hours or so... Now even the apps I couldn't originally download, but then could after the fix, are now back to being incompatible with my device when I go to their app store page. Any ideas what happened all of a sudden?

same. It is such a good os or could have been.
Why not ever? In the end it all comes down to the software, once the bugs have been ironed out theres no reason Android can't have the same or better battery life as WebOS. The problem at the moment is HP are far more intimate with the hardware than the Android devs are.

there's a battery fix? that's encouraging.
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
I have a touchstone, so as long as it lasts through the day, I'm fine. I'm still getting multiple days of light use. WebOS was a beast in battery life, no doubt, but I'm fine with ics for now.
I put it at the end of my post with the market link.
Go to Applications -> Market -> Clear data. It happens. I have found no other free solution
Wow... that fixed it! Hmm, any idea how/why this happens?I put it at the end of my post with the market link.

Not really. It's just that unless they get the drivers from the open source, it's going to be hard to fix the battery problem.
Technically HP is obligated to release them since they sold touchpads with Android installed. Blame HP. Not even sure why they're being a hardass about this. It's not like they have a consumer division anymore. They should take the free goodwill and do what they're required to do anyways.
Well it's the fix from ICS 0, I wasn't sure if it was built into the ICS 0.5 build since it wasn't listed.
I installed the fix this afternoon and left it to idle for about 5 hours. Came back and it went down from 93 to 88% that's not too bad. Better than discharging 30%+ in 8 hours like last night.
Not really, its above my pay grade. If u look at the thread with the fixed market a later post explains it.

A few questions and comments. I ran into the WiFi issues tonight. CM9 has the WiFi spot saved but I am unable to connect. I tried many times, even turning the WiFi off and on. When I switched to WebOS it works fine.
And I'm still unable to get videos to play on YouTube, video or dailymotion.
Also, with the recent 3.05 software update, do all the old tweaks not work.I can't find them in prewar.

As far as the ICS WiFi goes, I think that's par of the course. We just have to deal with it being finicky for now.
Did you forget the password then turn it off and on?
Oh no wonder I don't have that problem. I make sure to only buy dd-wrt routers. Yay for me

It's an open public WiFi spot. And it works fine in WebOS.
Also, I agree with the comments about the bad battery life.
Anyways, is there a way to revert to an earlier WebOS? I am unable to access the WebOS speed tweaks/patches.
Edit: I just found a link to older webOS doctors. Anyone know the oldest one I should download and still be able to access the patches.

I'd like to know what apps you guys use in WebOS.

you know the thing I like the most about webos. Flicking window to close. I want to do that in every tablet now lol.
Yeah I agree. The card system was pretty cool.
Yeah, I was sort of daydreaming about creating a patch that would allow ICS on the touchpad to do the same. While the ICS interface does allow you to flick open applications off to the side, it's kind of annoying it doesn't show the active application. It takes me two steps instead of one if I want to close the active application.
Now come the WebOS haters to say it has nothing of value

Alright, I used the Webos doctor to restore my Touchpad to 3.02 and was able to get all of the patches.
Does anyone know if I update to 3.05 if I'll the patches will still work (or what is the most recent OS version to update to)?
Next, I get CM9 0.5 back on there.

I've been having wifi issues since I installed CM9 and I read a thread somewhere on xda about people fixing it with FXR WiFi fix and rescue. It worked for me.
I also have Angry Birds, Solitaire, Helicopter Game, Class Pong, and Robotek. I'd recommend Dead Runner.

I still have to figure out how to work with scummvm. Never done anything with snes much.Spent much in the beginning lol.I use zite, news republic and comics HD everyday. It was so hard to get this screenshot here lol. Take it mail it to me than use pc to upload it. My friend is very good and preware stuff. He did installed some packages but I have no idea what they were may be for speed. After last update they might have been useless though.

I wonder what this will do for the WebOS market.
"Enyo 1.0, the framework underlying the applications that run exclusively on the HP TouchPad and other HP webOS devices (including both our own core applications and thousands of third-party apps), has now also been open-sourced."

It's a pretty good start, since I've been looking for a full HTML5 + JS tool for some time now.

Thanks for posting this. I added Just Draw to my TouchPad.
Anybody else want to share their app screen with the class?
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
What do you do when the touchscreen doesn't respond?
VanMardigan
has calmed down a bit.
that's what I'm asking, what's the button combo to force a reboot?
So just use it like normal.

yep, that's it. Thanks.

So I just spoke to HP Customer service regarding the crackling speaker, depressed home button and cracked casing.
I was presented with three options for repair:
I told them I'd just send it to them, as there is no way I'm going to pay half what I paid for the Touchpad to get it repaired.

I'm sure they charge you before they send the replacement. It was my experience when I had to get an ipod repaired with Apple.
The other odd thing about the experience is it's via chat. You're not allowed to call unless it's three months within your Touchpad purchase or you want to pay a fee.
The rep tried to blame the button and cracking casing on me. He asked if I dropped it. I was like let's be honest. The thing is plastic POS.
