    I would recommend you install the default kernel and see if the problem clears up.

    you said that you had overclocked, and normally when one overclocks and issues occur, the first step to troubleshoot is to restore the CPU to default settings.

    After installing and did all the cool patches such as overclocking. This morning turning it on it got stucked in USB symbol mode. To fix this Hold down the Power button, Volume button and Menu button for a few seconds will turn it off. To power it back on you need to Hold Down the PowerButton and MenuButton for at least 15secs for it to power back on.

    Well I went with this SITE for instruction to get it to 1.7GHz. I'm not sure what is wrong with your but hopefully you have the HP WebOS Doctor and use it to fix it.

    This is a really long thread, got a 32gb and am setting it up before mailing it.

    It's currently updating. What else did you guys recommend doing? I remember reading a lot of informative stuff a few weeks ago, but have forgot what was mentioned....and this thread is a monster.

    I can get a 32gb for $200. Should I do this? I'm an iPad 1 owner as well. Worth it?

    (Shameful self-promotion) Oooorr you can buy my ViewSonic 10" Tablet that I'm selling in the classifieds section for $195. It already has Android on it. :)

    I use my 32GB a lot, but it can do so much more. The only thing holding it back is the lack of apps. Hopefully several hundred thousand new users will get the app market for this thing hopping.

    Never really got to play with this thing much. Bought 2 of the 32GB versions. Gave them both away, one to my gf. I already owned the Xoom which I got from Staples for $250, so I wasn't really interested in keeping one.

    It had a nice interface, but seemed kind of slow. Excited with their progress with Android, I'll be putting that on her touchpad.

    Just got mine. With the F15C kernel and a couple of patches, the thing flies -- pretty much as responsive as an iPad, which is more than I can say for any Android tablet.

    There are only two flaws with this thing:
    - It could be lighter, and
    - It needs a few more apps.

    One of the most useful pieces of technology I've bought. Flash + a full desktop browser experience is something most other mobile devices can't offer and opens up so many options. And the sound quality, especially through headphones, is pretty much awesome.

    I know someone is working on hacking the full bluetooth support for all phones (both calling and texting) -- once that is done, my life on the TouchPad will be complete.

    This actually made it a slam-dunk for me, my all-time favorite game:

    Heroes of Might and Magic 3 comes to Android

    <table class="margin_right15px" align="left" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="110"><tbody><tr><td class="article_tb_bg" valign="top">[​IMG]
    [​IMG] </td> </tr> </tbody></table> Heroes of Might and Magic 3, the popular game that gained a great deal of fans over the past decade or so, is available for Android users as well, courtesy of a free engine coming from mobile app developer pelya.

    The game was ported to Google's mobile operating system as the VCMI project, following the successful porting of the Heroes of Might and Magic 2 (HOMM2) game engine to Android.

    The Heroes of Might and Magic 3 engine, now available for download from the Android Market, was brought to Android with support for existing graphics, maps, spells, heroes, towns, although not all parts of the game are supported as of yet.

    VCMI creators were focused on bringing the Heroes of Might and Magic 3: In the Wake of Gods (HOMM3: WoG) expansion to Android. Most of the game aspects are already working, and the graphics seem great, but campaigns are not supported for the time being.

    Users interested in playing the HOMM3 game on their Android devices as part of the VCMI project should know that they need to have the original game files to do that.

    The entire series is now available for purchase from GOG.com for $9.99, provided that you don't have it already.

    VCMI should work on large 800 x 480 phone screens, while requiring 256 MB of RAM to work, as well as a fast CPU.
    <table class="margin_right15px" align="left" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="110"> <tbody><tr> <td class="article_tb_bg" valign="top"> [​IMG]
    [​IMG] </td> </tr> </tbody></table>
    Basically, this would make it compatible with most of the latest Android-based handsets, as well as with the tablet PCs powered by the OS (it would certainly offer a better experience on the larger screens of these devices).

    To get the game up and running, users will need to run VCMI once to create a specific directory on the microSD card, while the Heroes 3: Complete, or Heroes 3: Shadow of Death game (only English versions) should be installed on the PC, with the free In the Wake of Gods add-on loaded on top of it.
    <table class="margin_right15px" align="left" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" width="110"> <tbody><tr> <td class="article_tb_bg" valign="top"> [​IMG]
    [​IMG] </td> </tr> </tbody></table>
    Users will need to copy all game files from the PC to the app-data/eu.vcmi directory on the microSD card inside their Android phone, then launch VCMI again.

    Provided that the software won't run, users can head to the Android Market to install the aLogcat app, then check its out-put, which will tell whether VCMI is missing files preventing it from running.

    The VCMI engine can be downloaded from the Android Market here. Additional info on the project is available here. (via)
