The Touchpad Android thread

[stoke1863]

The web browser feels 10x smoother than webos, using webos on this forum was clunky using the ics browser its very responsive . Absolutely no checker boarding to speak of unlike weboa. If cm ever get out of beta this tablet will be awesome . Going back to webos feels like using windows xp now I've used ics

how are people finding battery life? On webos i can leave it in standby for about 5 days but on ICS it only lasts 2, Porbably because i cant get the wifi to sleep when the screen is off

Similar really. not much a problem for me as I can just plonk it back on the touchstone. Im sure it'll be fixed relatively soon

It would be nice if they included the sound when it's put on the touchstone for charging.

One of my favourite things about ICS on the Touchpad so far is the little icon to switch between different keyboards. It's so much faster to change keyboards than in gingerbread.

Does anyone know if ICS has that icon on phones too? I've not seen it mentioned before.

I have android on my touchpad, and I dont seem to be able to update webos anymore. Has anyone else had this problem? how do you fix it?

Just installed this on mine and im quite surprised at how good it is.

 

[EdwardTeach]

Is there a way to change the boot preferences? i.e to make it default to webos?

Hey guys. Don't know if you have seen this. The chap who posted it on HotUKDeals said he was now running it on his Android Touchpad. Not sure what model he picked to download it though so some advice would be cool. Still only got C7 on mine but keen to try this once a more complete build comes out.

Love the Splashtop stuff so would like to pick it up free for Android if I can.

Did anyone else have any issues with signing in to market place/google account?

Used the newer gapps and fixer

Was fine for me using v10 of gapps from an xda post.

Nope.

Has anyone managed to get exchange mails working on ICS yet?

How do you install over CM7?

How do you install over CM7?

There's lots of guides in the links given, or through google. You can do it by the ACMEInstaller2, or just through CWM, but ACMEInstaller is preferred.

Really loving the performance on this latest 'alpha' v0! Is anyone else having any issues with wifi? Mine seems to occasionally lose connection to my network and I have to turn on airplane mode and then back off to reconnect.

The wifi was an issue for some people in CM7 wasn't it? Never had it myself but don't recall them saying it was fixed in this release...

Luckily I don't get it

After a few more days I'm still liking ICS, obviously infinitely better than Gingerbread but it's also a decent step up over WebOS imo, browsing especially is great, made the touchpad much more useful to me.

Although one thing that annoys me is that the kindle app in webos has a 2-page view in landscape, yet in Android it doesn't. This annoyed me so much that last night when I finished the 4th book in the Game of Thrones season instead of buying the 5th from Amazon I decided to switch to Google Books (same price helped ) which lacks a Sepia colour mode but does have a 2-page view \o/

What dpi do you all use? I assume none of you are using the stupid 160 default (it's only set to that for app compatibility for the market downloads).

 

[james.miller]

I've found no real reason to change mine from 160 tbh

I use the intelligent 160 default. Not seen a need to change it really.
