Posted my settings a few pages ago

What's the exact error message you're getting? When I tried adding my Hotmail accounts within the email app I kept being told I didn't have an internet connection. When I tried adding them via accounts in settings they connected fine.

link please, search on thread finds nothing

bad username or password is the error
error code 1000:http error:401

 

[Sukh]

Its not as the ssid is automatically picked up and the password is right as it used on lots of other devices, double checked and triple checked.

It works with no security, but as soon as I put it back on it throws a fit!

If it helps my prepay orange card works a treat now there's credit on it.

Just a fiver to apply for, and imo it's one of the best for regular uk use, and you get orange points which is useful for top ups in the future.

Thanks for the info, I'll probably do that then.

Is nobody using BHome?

I could really do with some pointers on this. I don't know why some files are visible without me doing anything to set it up, and i don't know how to enable access for more files and folders.

I have mine seeing shares on my NAS as I just have uPnP setup and it just worked. Not got it looking for shares on my PC sorry. The whole reason I wanted it to see shares on my NAS is so that I can stream from it with the PC off.

No worries.

Just played asphalt 6, crikey that's a good game, well worth the money.

Thanks for the info, I'll probably do that then.

It is really not working for me properly. I suspect it is something to do with the fact that I have a home network set up, I think there is confusion about permissions. The files and folders that bhome is seeing appear fairly random to me, e.g if I open a folder on bhome I will see certain files or folders, but if i open the same folder on windows I can see that there is a lot more there that bhome is for some reason not seeing.

I think when I have some time I will try closing down my home network and see if this makes a difference.

How do you put the free code in? When I click the app it only says pay?? Also I can't add a Visa card to the app store, tried mine and the wifes with no success

 

[Maccapacca]

Bah, it won't accept debit cards, we have just spent two years paying off and cutting up all our credit cards, how stupid is that

 

[Metallifux]

I don't know if anybody has already mentioned it but Asphalt 6 is worth every penny of the 299 pennies it will cost you to buy it, great gfx.

It worked fine with my debit card,

I'm guessing your problem is the same as someone above where the bank won't authorize a £0.00 transaction which HP uses to verify the card?

As for the first question, you need to enter card details before it prompts to enter the promo code...

HP online store has cases and touchstones, to get 10% of enter vccom10off also don't forget to use topcashback or Quidco

Really hope they keep it. The look, feel and style of the OS is so much better than Android at the moment, all they really need to do is fix a few bugs, make it quicker and add more functionality.

Hopefully the amount of Touchpads and phones sold will have a positive effect on the app market because that'll be the making or the death of it at the end of the day.

Do what i did and grab yourself an orange prepay card, worked a treat once credit was on it.

Is Kalemsoft (paid version) the best media streamer around then? I've been using the beta, and whilst it's OK (the inability to increase volume is a right pain!) I want something 'better'.

Any other must have apps, free ones preferably .

 

[Greebo]

Kalemsoft it is for now.

Other apps I like are Tunein Radio
Pandora Radio
Interface Lift HD
AccuWeather

Are there any apps or web-based services (that work with the Touchpad's browser) for Windows Live? Web-based Trillian doesn't work and I can't seem to find any others.
