Maybe there's hope of Netflix on my Touchpad.

But it shouldn't be normal. When I put my finger on the screen and drag it around a bit, it doesn't need both cores at 1.7 GHz to compute what I'm doing. Its like driving a car that can only do 10 mph or 65 mph but nothing in between.

I was having the same problem. I would go to the phone and it would only show people from my various contact lists, like FB, etc... What I figured out is that you have to go to that screen, and make absolutely sure you're signed into your Skype account. Just opening the program doesn't do it, you have to sign in yourself. Once you do that your Skype contacts will pop up.

This being WebOS, I'm guessing it really does need 1.7 GHz x 2 for that. :3

how do we delete the search engine addon? It keeps adding those at the top and if i touch it , it adds them. I do not want to add them. I want to delete some of them.

I think I've seen that somewhere, either in a Preware patch or in device settings.
What I would like to do is disable automatic stacking of cards when I open a new browser window.

Does anyone else use the alarm clock? I had it set up so I could give medicine and feed my sick newborn. At first, it was working, but now it hardly ever goes off.
I saw the same thing posted on pre central. Gah.

Twisted Metal 4? The man is on some serious crack that's making him delusional. I've lost faith in Cyanogen ever happening for the TP.

I really should have bought palm phone. I focused on touchpad too much and forgot about palm pre phones. Although it woulld not have helped much as I use wind mobile and I do not think phones offer that freequency

The difference is noticeable to me. I wanted tiny since I have my HTC Sensation for 95% of the time. It'll be nice to have a tiny phone for when I want to save space, travel, etc. Appreciate the post, though.

Touchpad draws the desktop ESPN site like a champ. The Flash videos are mostly ok too, a bit of choppiness.

Thanks for all the updates. I can't wait for wifi support.Computer said:
After that, all I really want is an easy boot loader and I'm good to go.

I tried installing the F15C kernel and pushed for 1.9ghz. My Touchpad crashes and reboots itself the moment I try to enable 1.9, so I guess 1.8 is as far as mine will go until that psycholinux guy figures out how to enable voltage adjustments. I'm back on F4 now. It flies pretty good at 1.8 at any rate, I don't know that 1.9 would give me a whole lot more grunt at this point.
The new version of Kalemsoft Media Player has hit the HP App Store. It's now at version 0.4.0. Subtitles support still isn't in yet but the guy says he's working on it.
I tried out the Music Player Remix app. It isn't Touchpad-aware so it runs in that stupid tiny phone. It also isn't aware of the concept of compilations either. So far the stock Music app, the free Audiophile HD Pro app, and Music Player Remix all don't seem to understand compilations. Sigh.
I'll give Google one thing, their Android stock music player app is the most bare-bones music player app in history but at least it understands compilations and it sorts music correctly into albums even when an album has different artists. Plus there are several good apps on Android for you to download missing cover art, there's nothing at all for WebOS in the category of downloading cover art. My Droid X is also a lot smaller than my Touchpad, it's hard to use a TP as a portable music player and stick it in your pocket.
Somebody hacked the Steam version of Machinarium and encapsulated it into a standalone WebOS app. Machinarium is originally a Flash-based game on PC. I don't know how they did it but the framework they developed can let you embed almost any Flash into a standalone app, so people can port all the Flash games they want now I guess. It's pretty crazy to think you can do this on WebOS. People say it runs great too. I don't own Machinarium on Steam and so I haven't tried it myself.
There's an early build of ScummVM for Touchpad now. It's a bit janky right now but it works.
There's a version of DOSBox for Touchpad on Preware but when I downloaded and installed it it flashes a logo at me and goes to a black screen. I'm not sure how to set it up, there isn't any documentation for it.
If you haven't done it already, get an app called JSTop from Preware. It can be set to automatically perform Javascript Garbage Collection if you leave it running in the background. This helps with performance and memory management of apps which use JS, and the OS, and lots of stuff in WebOS uses JS.

Another update on the progress of CM on the Touchpad. Was posted on the RootzWiki site by one of the developers. Still lots to do before we see a release.
fattire said:"Almost done" is a bit optimistic.
Wifi is working (more or less) in cm7 from the UI as of this morning thanks to amazing work by dharix who did some creative module source tweaking to put together something that would build against the cm kernel. It works with cm userspace and is checked into the repo.
There are still big issues to be addressed-- lots of ioctl errors in logcat; if you hit the power button to sleep, the wifi won't come back when the rest of the tablet does. Also, some apps crash or freeze the screen, though this could be a problem with the lack of sound locking things up. Signal strength is not being reported correctly either.
There are probably more huge problems to be discovered as not enough of the team has gotten it going. But y'know, it's a start, and the browser is really fast, the twitter client/widget work, mail app, weather app/widget works... needless to say anything involving video/sound does not.
Thanks to iomonster for figuring out a permissions error this morning

Is exhibition mode meant to be used all night? Because "My Town", 84° is burned into the display somehow. Whenever I'm on a dark background, I can see it clearly.

Not the screen's fault, obviously. But Apple was wise enough not to encourage users to use the iPad 2 as a nightstand clock. Especially bad since it automatically does it when I dock it, so I can't be alone.irfan said:^ same screen as the iPad2. If you call the screen PoS for you not knowing the device properly, then yes its shit.

Preader or Preader Native are pretty much it. There isn't a Nook app. You can't side load in Kindle from what I've heard. If you put PDFs on the Touchpad, the Adobe Reader will let you read them. The only problem is it doesn't remember the last page you read (which sucks).

Yes. I just went on the Linksys website and downloaded the user guide for one of their wireless routers on the Touch Pad. I opened Adobe Reader and it was there.
I was just trying to watch as stream on Justin.tv, and it was definitely stuttering, but it was hard to tell if it was the stream or the Touch Pad.
