Where is WiFi "advanced settings"?
I installed the getjar app. installed a few apps but now suddenly it won't install anymore. The install button has no effect, I can only tap on cancel.
EDIT: Issue seems to be related to the app "Screen FIlter". Disabling it make install available again.
There is sitll over 1GB in internal storage. By the way how do you install it on SD card?

Well Android devices install everything under the internal storage and you can move stuff to SD card but its not recommended as it breaks the app. That said, I don't think its smart to do what you ask. I hope they do give more space for internal storage though.elty said:
Anyways the free Splashtop app from getjar works like the rest. Full screen on portrait mode but little laggy. Good free app. And I did install Go Launcher and everything runs like it should so I'm glad nothing broke. Now I need the best chat devices that can reach mobile users.

sucks then, cause the webOS hulu fix doesn't work anymore.
And the tp is at the usb logo? Did you put files into folder "cminstall"? And novacom installed?

Has there been any information towards when a beta for Android is going to be released? I'm assuming they're using the information from the Alpha to help getting things to work.
Why would you do that?

Mine won't keep excess data on it with the two OSes.
I tried putting my comics and mags on the touchpad, this time after I had updated to 3.0.2, done the preware suggestions, and then hacked it for Android. I put Android on, then the google app store, and bought an app. Both OSes seemed to be working fine.
But once I tried to put my comics and stuff on, they disappeared. Not only that, but in WebOS all of my apps disappeared too. Both my download and favorites tabs are empty.
Guess I'm out until the beta. Maybe I'll try sticking my mags and comics in my box space and access them there.

Because the HD version requires 3.0 Honeycomb.
so i bookmarked the android marketplace page for i can get amazon's free app of the day, every day.
i recommend you do this as well.
i wish i started doing this a while ago to build up my backlog, oh well can't complain.
android still has some work to do to catch up to iOS, but i think they can do it. please sell millions kindle fire, for us new android users can benefit.

Has anyone been able to connect to a TTLS/PAP network with CM7?

Yes. As long as it fits, you can use any cable. I use the one that came with my Kobo ereader.

Uuuuhh...is the readme file bundled with ACME installer some kind of a joke or done intentionally ? No space, no paragraphs, it makes my head hurt just looking at it.

Hrm, i'm on the fence on getting the hp touchpad bluetooth keyboard. anyone have thoughts to share about it? $27.39 shipped/after tax and 10$ off coupon from hp.com
I actually like the onscreen webOS keyboard a lot. the stock one on cm7 is a pain. I love swype on my htc inspire but on a tablet, theres a lot more moving involved.
i will give thumb keyboard a try. and maybe swiftkey as well.

I managed to install CM7.
Once CL7 hits the final stable version, this tablet will be the best thing ever. It's already very useable ! *drools over 720p mkv playback*

I find the bluetooth keyboard to be pretty darn cool and it works well. However, the nature of these tablets is really just goofing off, browsing the web and various applications, etc, so I have almost never used the keyboard. It is solidly built and functions well though, if that's what you are wondering.

I got the HP Keyboard and originally I opted to get a thumb key instead, but I ended up returning the thumb key.
The bluetooth keyboard is pretty good, but the functionality is limited. You basically still have to use your finger like a mouse still (you cant scroll, you can bring up the cards but you cant switch between the any of them on the keyboard). One of the big reasons I stuck with it was to be able to type papers/ type notes in class, but the WebOS Office is freaking terrible and buggy. The good thing about it is its a really slick bluetooth keyboard so you can pair it to your phone, laptop, ps3, or whatever.
Actually, does anyone know any better Text Editors for the TP?

Good to hear reassurances about the build quality, King Fuh, and yes, I do question whether i'll ever use it MrFoxdie. Is the keyboard able to pair with multiple devices at the same time? say my ps3 and my desktop? i'll definitely try thumb key and swype. thanks for the inputs cruzader and copernicus. too bad i cant scroll with it. wonder if they will put that into the next update for webOS. ... if it's still even going to be updated.
I've got the keyboard too and while I'm glad I have it I haven't really used it yet. One nice thing is it's got good function keys built in, so that is nice if you have your tablet propped up and are typing, you can use the function keys to do a lot of the stuff you can do on the tablet (search, volume control etc)
honestly, i thought ebooks would be terrible to read just because the screen isn't meant for that.
but i tried it out today, default white background is hard on the eyes, just change the background in the kindle app to black and it's pretty much awesome and very easy on the eyes.
plus, you can just copy ebooks in .mobi format from various free book sites (such as project gutenburg) to the kindle folder and they will all load with covers as well.
may get back into reading on this thing. it can really do it all.

Yeah, the added real estate makes it a surprisingly good alternative to kindle. I actually think about it before usually picking the kindle to read, just cause I know it'll be better for my eyes. Wasn't expecting to like reading on the touchpad, though, and I certainly did.
The ability to sideload eBooks into the Kindle app has really made me enjoy using the TouchPad a lot more. pReader Alpha works decently, but really doesn't hold a candle to the Kindle app.
Though the Kindle app's tendency to align the book title in the upper-left corner instead of centered, which prevents me from going back to collections screen unless I disable rotate lock and switch it to landscape, is getting quite annoying.
