HP Touchpad- Is it a good tablet? - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Looking at trading my PS Vita due to non-use for an HP Touchpad with dual boot -32 GB. Is there anything I can't do with the tablet- like netflix, skype, or any android apps that don't work? Sorry for such a noob question!
Overall- is it a good tablet?

Just got mine from Craigslist 2 weeks ago and its an amazing tablet with cm9..couldn't be happier with it

The camera doesn't work in android. I don't know if Skype is available for webos. If you look in themes and app thread there are workarounds for a lot of apps.

Skype works perfectly in Webos. Plus there is a good app for changing boot order and time delay amongst many other things give it a try . I mainly use nightly but do go back to Webos for Skype and a couple off other apps.
Have fun :good:

I haven't been able to get Osmos to work, though others have. Other than that and the above-mentioned camera, it's a great tablet. (Admittedly, it would be easier to just buy a tablet built for Android like the $200 Nexus, but since you seem to have a situation where it's a one-for-one trade, it's still a great tablet.)

I got mine from the humble indie bundle, and it offers a tablet version, which I assume is the HD version. That doesn't work either...just a black screen.

Well, I guess I can understand. I had the same issue with Splashtop HD... same black screen. That was on AOKP, when I flashed O.a.T.'s Light and Tasty it started working.

I just tried flashing from Oat's Light and Tasty to CM9, and suddenly Osmos works...that was strange. Maybe Oat's was a bad flash somehow. But thanks for the hint about swapping ROMs.

osmos hd from the amazon appstore works perfectly for me and i still use splashtop 1 on cm9 regularly.....
maybe a bad flash as others have noted

It's like ZottD is dead or something, no posts on his webpage about anything for 2 months. I hope he's just working behind the scenes, and hopefully not doing what the rumors are about going back to development on iOS. :/
no zodttd is answering people daily on his twitter page, and he says he's working
Good to hear! definitely looking forward to trying an n64 emu... man I imagine it would be hard for touchscreen controls only though for most games. .... maybe not though.

I am not excited about this. Psx4droid is mediocre and un usable if I don't find an old version and n64 is much more graphically intensive. His iphone psx4all runs much smoother on lesser hardware.
I hope the fpsce team chooses to make and android app.

You think its unplayable? Its perfectly playable when you have the phone running 1ghz or higher...the sound is just distorted sometimes. I think they have a pretty good beta. I want someone to finih it.
That being said, the n64 used too many buttons simultaneously to work good on a phone imo...

I think the older versions are playable actually i do play them some. For the current version in the market every game I have tried to play has had completely broken sound. The most typical problem is the it either slows waay down or hangs completely. With no sound the nostalgia feel is easily cut in half for me so i usually just sigh and say whats the point and do something else.

Plants vs. Zombies on Android

Found a video saying that it should be out by the end of this week and it is demoed on a Xoom so that means it will be tablet compatible.
Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F10D_qwQtZ0
Will be free on Amazon Appstore...
Will be free of charge on Amazon App store for a day some time end of this month.
From the web:-
PopCap is finally bringing its quirky, bright colored games to Android. The Seattle based company has signed an exclusive agreement with Amazon to bring its first Android games to the Amazon Appstore. Leading the launch will be the googly-eyed furballs game, Chuzzle. And at the end of the month, the fan-favorite Plants vs. Zombies will be made available. Both games will be featured as the "App of the Day" in the Amazon Appstore and will be free of charge those days. After that, the games will be priced at $2.99 each.
I hope everyone is right and this is coming tomorrow.
Yeah its free on amazon app store today, since its not for tablets its kind of pixelated, oh well!

You should have joined Amazon appstore already just for the reason it gives you a free app everyday. It is definitely playable on the xoom. The only downfalll is when you collect new plant, it slows down a bit and pixelated.

Thank you thank you! The lepad version is MUCH better than the Amazon market version by a mile. Guys, you will have to delete the Amazon version before installing the optimized version or it will not work. If you get a black screen when trying to load the new version, just quit the app and start again..great graphics!
works like a charm. thanks for the hint

Its also v1.0.0 and the market version is like v1.1
I suspect they will put another version out. Something has to be missing in the v1.0.0 build.
I suppose this explains why I see two different versions of PvZ out there, but to be honest I will just stick with the Amazons versons...No, offence to plants vs zombies levono, but I usually like games like this that are still fully supported and can be updated with a click of a button like with android market and amazon appstore.
But ty for clearing up my confusion as to why their are two different looking versions of PvZ.
thanks for posting the tablet ver it looks so much better than the one on amazon... i still got the amazon anyways so when they do fix it i can just redownload it
Bah no love for Non-US users. I'll try the lenovo one.

WTB Nook Color

I'm thinking with the flood of HP Touchpad purchases someone's gotta want to get rid of their Nook, if you are I would love to buy it if the price is reasonable
Nice thought. At the moment, though, the TouchPad is still somewhat useless :3
Shhhh...maybe people like webOS more than android (psh, yea right)
I don't blame them.
Spec-wise, the TouchPad is far better than the NC, it's just bigger, hence heavier.
The question is do they got the support after purchasing, where can they get apps running webOS, are they free apps?
I would trade my mint nook color with cm7 on it or could put back to stock. For a touchpad.

Yes, you get an app store, just like iOS and Android. Just like both, there's free and paid apps. The TIME app rocks, and you can use the print sub to use it. You also get Angry Birds HD for free... but not seasons.
Thanks for letting me know, I keep thinking that webOS has very little apps.
My bad.

Actually, I'm not so sure on that. Maybe no further support by HP, but this thing looks to have some rad community support. Mine now sits at 1.5MHz, and several other patches to attempt to speed it up. I'm starting to actually like WebOS... and may leave it on there.

WebOS is sweet but RIP. I had a Pre at launch. After awhile when you see other devices get apps that WebOS wont get it gets aggravating. I think they will get Android going on the touchpad but life with CM on it kinda sucks. I like CM and some other ROMs but that crap is buggy. Sometimes its nice to get back to a working stock system and that would be WebOS. All that matters is if you're happy though so more power to you.

Are you serious? Apps are what make an OS great. What OS's have the most apps? iOS and Android. They also happen to be the top 2 selling mobile OS's. Apps = success. Why do you think webOS is dead? No apps = No sales.

---[][][]***| SOLD |***[][][]---
I am selling my Nook Color, and yes, specifically because I got a Touchpad.
Bigger, better, faster. Apps, there's enough for me (esp w/ homebrew), and with Flash support, half of what I want to do I won't need special apps for (VUDU, Google Music Beta, etc). Plus, and Android OS option isn't far from being a reality, if I change my mind about WebOS.
Mine is like new, -pristine-, still have the box w/all papers and accessories, rooted, CM7 w/ nightly Encore build, overclocked to 1.2GHz, lots of apps.
I'm including a leather folio case, BodyGlove neoprene sleeve + 2GB mSD card.
My best offer so far is $160. I was hoping to get closer to $200. PayPal will have this shipped to you ASAP.
My question now, regardless if you want to buy it or not, is how do I reset it and get my personal data off of it, without losing all the mods and apps ?

You're right in terms of sales, it seems. But what sells and what's good not always the same. There's way more to an OS than apps. WebOS has an intuitive and fluid interface and true multitasking that neither Android or iOS can touch. The app catalog is minimal, but the potential was always there. I just got Touchpad and started using it instead of my nook color and man, WebOS's interface is better than android in almost every way. Yes, I'm missing out on words with friends and fruit ninja, but web browsing, multitasking, and video playback are all insanely better. I thought I was just going to use the Touchpad for reading comics, keeping my nook as my main tablet. Man was I wrong.
webos is great but its DOA which means you're not going anywhere. EOL products are a dead end no matter how great they are. That leaves you to rely on something you will have to use forever or migrate away from. I don't see a point in wasting time with it.

Yeah, HD doesn't show up cuz the market automatically hides apps that aren't compatible with your device... The HD one showed up when I clicked Rovio's name on the web market (https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=Rovio+Mobile+Ltd.) and the comments seem to show that EeePad Transformer TF101 with version 1.0.1, Samsung Galaxy Tab with version 1.0.1, and Galaxy Tab 10.1 with version 1.0.1 are all compatible. The XOOM shares the SAME EXACT Tegra 2 processor as the GalTab 10.1 and Transformer, which is even BETTER than the processor in the original GalTab. I really see no reason for my XOOM not to be compatible; same resolution, screen size, processor, etc. as both the Transformer AND the GalTab 10.1, PLUS the Transformer is also on ICS 4.0.3... Grrrrrrrr. I'm kinda angry. I just wanna give Rovio my money .
Hmmm it appears that both have the same version 1.01, strange
I am running teameos wingray nightly 84 and it doesn't appear. If I logon to play.market.com and look at Angry Birds HD it tells me that some of my devices are compatible. The device that is compatible is MZ604,which is my stock rom, but not Xoom which is what the teameos rom shows as.
Interesting. I'll check it out in a few.

This is ridiculous. I can't install it on my WiFi-only Xoom. After checking on the web Market --uh, Store-- it shows up as available for one of my devices: my Xoom when I had changed the build.prop to the Verizon Xoom.
That is, again, RIDICULOUS. I decide I'm going to spend money on these guys to support them and I can't because I have a WiFi-only device?
**** them, I'll pirate the HD version whenever I find it.
Yes, there's a free version which works fine and still looks beautiful... but, come on. This is just stupid.
</rant>
The game is really fun, btw.
It says it's compatible with my Wingray. I'm running the stock rooted ROM.
For some reason it now says it's compatible... URGGGGGG finally!
NM, not gonna get the HD version. See http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/03/23/angry-birds-space-hd-is-finally-available-in-the-play-store-for-2-99-but-honestly-rovio-why/ because apparently it looks and practically is the exact same.
I downloaded Angry Birds Space HD to my Xoom and, with the exception of fixing the improperly sized intro graphic, the game looks nearly identical. The free version looks just as good on my display. Which leaves me to wonder what I just spent $3 on. Maybe the differences would be more noticeable on the Transformer Pad Infinity, or the new iPad, but here on an Android tablet that actually exists, that $3 seems to buy you absolutely nothing.
I don't have a problem with paid versions of games. In fact, I'd prefer it to the alternatives. However, Android, as a platform, is built so that you don't need to have multiple versions to support different device types. From the ground up, Android has been designed so that things like screen resolution or aspect ratio won't break an app. So, when a game developer deliberately breaks off an "HD" version, it's annoying. When that "HD" version doesn't actually offer any improvements over the original, though, it feels like theft.
Oh, and not to add injury to insult or anything, but if you're considering buying this app now anyways, take a look at some of the reviews first. It seems that some users are experiencing crashes and difficulty loading the HD app. If you're feeling gutsy, though, here's a widget just for you.

Quite honestly, I'm glad someone else made the same exact mistake I almost made right before I made it. I was disappointed and happy at the same time when that popped up in my RSS feed...
Want to see something weird? See the file sizes for the Free and the HD version. Free is ~23 MB, while HD is ~17 MB. Yes, you read right: 23 and 17.
How is an HD version smaller than a normal one? Apart from the ads (which don't come with the game, since they're downloaded off the net)... what's been added onto the Free version? Or, even worse, what's been substracted from the HD version?

How does Android (CM9) run on this tablet?

I am looking at buying a refurbished HP touchpad (16GB version)...what doesn't work if I put Android on it? I saw a reference to the Mic, but that wouldn't be a big deal to me. Does most everything else work on this unit? Thanks!

A little more reading should help you make up your mind.
In the mean time, CM9, which is what I am running, runs beautifully on TP. Other than the camera and the mike issue you mentioned, everything else works fine. There are a few people with sporadic wifi issues but I am not complaining with my TP's performance.
Nowadays just camera and mic don't work. Wifi can be buggy at times but its been getting better in the latest nightlies, I don't really have issues anymore.
Even with the wifi issue, most people have had success switching their routers not to use high channels, keeping them on 6 and under.
Another thing to note is that the speakers dont work so well if the screen is turned off, having a bit of a garbled sound to them. So dont plan on listening to music on it with the screen off.

I got it delivered yesterday...so far cm9 works great...I had one issue with wifi, but changing the channel to 3 seems to have fixed it...pretty happy so far.
there is also software at google play that will help with the wifi issues. look up wifi fixer, free and does the trick

thats why i said maybe, cuz right now i'm too lazy to edit the build.prop or work with chainfire 3d, i am aware of it though thanks anyways
apart from that i can't think of much else wrong with cm9 android on the touchpad
It is honestly the most stable alpha I have ever used on any device, using it for a month and not a single fc/freeze.
if you can afford a tablet that comes with android, your better off with that

It's perfect. Best Android ROM on any device I've had. No mic and camera, but minor, minor details.
I've just had battery 'issues' with CM9. Not really an issue, but my battery just seems to drain more rapidly than CM7 does. IE: When reading on CM9 with Aldiko for an hour, in airplane mode, it seems to drain about 20%. I guess that's normal?
CM9 works great for me on the touchpad. Only issue I personally had was not being able to hide the status bar for certain games I'd prefer fullscreen, but there are apps out there that can get rid of it.
Overall best android experience for me so far, I've got cm9 running on my Atrix as well, but that's still a bit buggy compared to this!
the magnetometer/compass doesnt work. it worked wonderful in webos, but it gets no love in android.

Sorry to veer off topic, but what do you like better in CM9 on the Atrix, compared to the current stock Gingerbread?
Back on topic, I thought that Alpha 0.6 was pretty good, then I thought Alpha 2 was awesome, and now with a recent nightly build, I think it's damn near perfect. The front camera would be nice at some point, but I don't need it right now.
awesome
I've been using android since the CM7 alpha 1 and playing around with different roms along the way since then.
I recently switched to OAT's light and tasty from the forums (CM9 based) and my TP now works just as well you'd would expect any fancy android tablet to work (without a mic or camera). Since this finally fixed my wifi issues, the tablet is now super smooth and flawless to use. Plus it has faster community updates than even the high end android tablets.
to the dude above me who's getting 2 hours of battery life, that is not normal, I can read books on aldiko for much longer than that, you should try making a backup and installing one of the most up to date releases.
