I have the opposite problem. Occasionally it will restart when I tell it to shut down.

^^maybe Shut Down and Restart are just messed up and backwards

I was just about to reboot mine from Droid to WebOS and thought of your post and went to shut down instead of restart...it restarted the device

My left speaker somehow died

I emailed customer service and they are actually going to fix it for me. I suppose I should wipe it back to stock WebOS before I send it in.

i'd probably run the ACMEUninstaller (if you have Android on it) as well as the preware 'Uninstall Android' or whatever its called, just in case they actually physically repair the speakers instead of giving you a new one

but there shouldnt be any need to uninstall anything on the WebOS side imo

cool that they're willing to fix it though, good to know

I'm finishing up the wipe from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426244. Everything went fairly smoothly. It was overkill, but I didn't have much to lose on the WebOS side anyways.

I was surprised that that they offered to fix it with little questions. Apparently Preware isn't even a warranty issue...she asked what patches/apps I had installed. I didn't mention I had CM9 on there though.

yeah, i wouldnt have mentioned CM9 either

just curious, did you have some type of Preware "Increase Max Volume" patch on it?

it would suck if that somehow could possibly cause a physically blown speaker

I don't believe I had messed with the volume. I had overclocked it to 1.5Ghz on the WebOS side with Uberkernel, but little beyond that.

I'm not really sure what happened to the speaker. It had been off and unused for month or so until yesterday when I fired it up to load the latest CM9 build.

Just got a refurb from hp today to replace the one I had with a broken speaker. I was impressed with Palm's customer service. Fairly quick turnaround and free overnight shipping both ways. Sucks that they are probably all getting fired

Nevermind...Just set it up and there's still no sound out of the left speaker. Sigh...

right on the 2nd question

my tablet had been randomly rebooting, so i think it fixed that...and twidroid (twitter app) would randomly lose its settings and I'd have to reset everything (pain because it prompts you to restart the app after every setting change)

anybody know of a way to put a fake IMEI number into CM9? i read where there was an installer you could flash on a Nook, but don't know about Touchpads...some Android apps require an IMEI number, and the Touchpad doesn't have one since it doesn't have a cellular radio, but I didn't know if there was one to put in a fake one to be able to use some apps

I hope you're talking about third-party apps, because I don't think Google would allow apps in the Market that required an IMEI number without actually using cellular service: I mean the Nexus 7 tablet, with no cellular capability, is about to be released!

well, i don't think Google designed the Play Store with the HP Touchpad and a custom ROM in mind

hence there are apps that show up and install, but get server connection issues based on the app's internal verification

i guess they shouldn't show up in the first place, but again, its basically from a hacked device

I think I have it sold. Thanks for the interest, though.

Maybe if this falls through you guys can pool your bids together and start a touchpad timeshare.

Even at $99 I still feel like I vastly overpaid for this thing.

I rarely use mine but it was still worth $99. It's just that I got my Razr for a penny on Amazon so I get even more out of that and it's more portable.

Mine gets plenty of casual use. I definitely don't regret purchasing the 32GB at $150 and get plenty of use out of it. Is it a high-res screen, nope, but it's not exactly low-res either. I have no problems reading anything or seeing detail. But maybe I'm just getting older.

Jellybean ported to Touchpad...early build though, I'm gonna wait til they add HD video support

it'd be funny if they get the video fixed (ie Youtube, Netflix) before the Nexus 7 gets the upgrade to 4.1

I'm beginning to think HP's USB cables are shit. Have 2 Touchpads and one cable went out about a month after I got it and the cable for the other just messed up a couple weeks ago. Ordered 2 spares from HP in early June and one of those has already failed.

Nothing, besides using them. You can wiggle the wire on the microusb end and it'll work briefly but then quit.

well looks like the first touchpad I bought last august shit the bed. Won't power on or do anything now. Luckily the credit card I used offers an extended warranty but they only cover repair/replacement up to the amount charged on the card or a refund of the purchase price. Quote from HP was for $385 so looks like I'll just be getting a refund of the $160.11.

Put it on the charger at 30% and woke up to a completely dead touchpad the next morning. Looks like I just have a knack for getting POS HP cables because this one has a short too. No response when pushing the power button, power+home or any other button combination and does nothing when plugged in with multiple chargers that work on the other Touchpad I bought. Looking on google, quite a few people have the issue of it not booting after letting the battery drain all the way down when running android.

i posted about it in this thread a while back.

bump because I installed a 4.1.2 rom with 4.2 gapps over my year old cm9 installation and they greatly improved the ppi quality somehow because i swear it looks prettier, also used the build.prop trick to make all programs (netflix) think I'm running a nexus 10 for better HD compatibility

Yes, you'll lose app data, and honestly you should backup everything off your "sdcard" just in case something goes wrong there.

Go get the DataSync Beta https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quintstoffers.DataSync.beta&hl=en and use it to save off your apps data into backups either locally or into Dropbox.

timely bump, and i'm going to ask a lazy question

What's the latest/most stable version of android for the TP?

A while back, you had to have windows to convert to android-- have any of y'all had success converting with a Mac?

It's been so long since I converted I don't remember what all is involved. I would think the individual commands would be fine in os x, but if there's some kind of batch or vb script that automates the whole process; that might of course give problems.

I just updated to CM9 nightly from 2.3.13 on TP and CM10 2.3.13 on evo lte.

Are these things still selling for a decent price?

I tried running CM10, but it was unstable as hell. I have been running CM9 (4.0.4) for several months with zero problems.
