It's here, ALPHA 2.1 (10-19-2011)

Just don't leave it set to the Performance governor since your min speed becomes the same as your max, so a good way to overheat your cpu and ruin it.

That's like super-gluing your gas pedal to the floor.

My wife's 16 GB TP is stable at 1900, but I need the additional space (32 GB) or I would have swapped with her.

I think I've hit 1800 with mine, but don't recall what the OC kernels are capable of. My webOS side is set at 1700 with a beta kernel that doesn't have the junk scrolling up at startup.

I'd be surprised if most of TP's aren't capable of 1700.

You don't happen to have another holdout TP you'd sell do you?

I bought this one to give to my brother for Christmas/highschool graduation present, but now I'm digging it bigtime haha

 

[colchiro]

I'd more likely buy a 3rd than sell one.

Try Amazon and check out "used".

So I thought everything was going great with my Touchpad, but then....hmm.

I brought it to work, plugged it in (using the same charger I've been using for it - TP stock wall plug, plus the cord from my phone), left it alone for ~8 hours. Was working fine when I left it...then when I got off work I tried to use it and....nothing. No buttons turn it on, computers don't recognize it when I plug it in, nothing. The cord is definitely good (tested it with my phone), so I have no idea what's up.

Is it bricked? Can a device spontaneously brick itself all on its own? I'm so confused. :| Has anybody else had this happen?

 

[colchiro]

It's the SOD (sleep of death) issue.

Hold down the power and home buttons until it restarts (hard reset).

Hold down power and the home button for few seconds until it starta to reboot

Show off LOL

That works fine, I've done it several times already, dunno why you need another app

What is the calendar widget you are using in the pic?

I had the same problem as well. I realized it was the wrong cable. For some reason the charging came from my Evo wouldn't work on the TP. I held three volume up button and power until it popped into three screen with the big white usb and from there could restart it.

What is everyone using to upload their screen shots?

"Simple Calendar Widget", free in Market

Took some configuring to get it to look like that though

Speed reading class.

The TP charger and cable are rated at 2 amps. Any other cable is probably only going to provide 1 amp max. Plug any cable (TP or generic) into your computer and you'll have 1/2 amp max.

1 amp will barely charge it if it's turned on and the display is lit, esp if you're using it.

 

[nyssa]

I tried that - no buttons are doing anything, in any combination whatsoever.

The cord isn't the right one, I know, but it has worked fine for the last month or so. Yeah, it's slower to charge, but...I lost my TP cord, so... :X

Wow, good info. I'd been using my Palm Pre cable and wall unit up until this point, assuming it was identical.

 

[colchiro]

The directions I've seen say to hold down the power and home buttons (by the usb connector) both for up to 30 seconds.

 

[colchiro]

Make sure the plug end of your power adapter is twisted all the way on.

Something similar happened to me overnight, so I unplugged it and held down power for a while and then menu (by the charger) for a while, then both for a while, and nothing happened

Then I read online to hold both for 30 seconds and decided to try it again, it turned out my sense of timing is bad because I thought I had held it for at least 30 seconds but when I counted it out myself I had to hold it a lot longer than I thought, and after exactly 30 seconds it rebooted no problem

anyone know if there's a good way to read a .pdf now that there's access to the android market? I bought a touchpad and installed a couple of school books on it but haven't gotten alot of use out of it because adobe reader sucks in the web os

I'd love it if someone could do a quick test with any .pdf!

 

[nyssa]

Totally random - I did the exact same thing several times over the span of a few hours...but finally after a few hours, it worked. Random. :|

Working like a champ now! Hooray CM!!

Has anyone tried headphones yet? When I plug mine in it plays through both headphones and speakers at the same time

I think that's one of the known issues from before the release, hopefully they'll fix it soon.

 

[SimsDelt]

Hold down power + home for about 30 seconds, your touchpad will reset. Its a glitch in the alpha build. When it deep sleeps it doesn't wake up.

 

[colchiro]

I haven't had any sleep issues since setting my min OC speed to 384 with SetCPU.

 

[strat1227]

Dayum. Lookin good.

Anyone have a problem with hulu+ dropping frames? Sound is fine, but it's dropping frames, lowering the video resolution does not seem to affect it

I tried overclocking, still dropped frames
