The *official* Android on the HP Touchpad owner's thread

Just to let you guys know, I installed the mic drivers and when running Talking Tom I got the machine gun problem. It's really best to wait for an official nightly that has the mic problems sorted out.

Quote from Joe Davola : Patience of a saint. FYI a touch cookie is a compliment.

Stop touching Rocky's cookies..


btw I agree, Rocky has been awesome anytime I've needed help. Great guy.

Quote from RockySosua : I was thinking like Gabe, that it was a typo, but your comment got me thinking, so I naturally went to my dear friend Google, and asked about "touch cookie". Let me be perfectly clear on this, that if you go look at the link that I found, it may require a barf bag. Go at your own risk. Touch Cookie. [urbandictionary.com]

sadly I made the above comment without knowing it was a typo...now my comment sounds even worse..

Quote from Joe Davola : You may want to hold off and not doing anything too hasty. Linkaroo [androidcentral.com]. Plus call me crazy, but I've found CM9 to be extremely stable on my TP.

You're ..

Mine FC's all the time, but I still love it.. Just waiting patiently for a new stable build. I use mine so much more now that I bought some cheap stylus's. Ok so I play a lot of Drawsomething, don't judge me.

Can someone answer a question for me please? I am sure the answer is here somewhere but I can't find it. I am going to sell my Touchpad that has Android on it. How do I remove all of my information, apps, etc without removing the Android system/files, whatever? My guess is going to backup and reset then "factory data reset"... but will that force the person who is buying it to reinstall CM 9? Again I'm sure this has been answered but I can't find it. Thanks!

I had that machine gun sound using the Easy Voice Recorder the other day. Only a hard kill would stop it. It sounded like it was going to blow up.
You may be right about waiting for an official mic driver release.

I'm having nightmares from seeing that online explanation of touch cookies. I feel nauseous everytime it's mentioned.

Quote from dzap : What nightly build are you on? Basically what I mean is, have you just been constantly adding the nightlies on top of your data? (I assume you do nandroids though every now and then at least). I'll give the mic drive a shot in a bit. I've been tempted to try it and will report back I will not reimburse you for emotional or mental scars. Please contact Kristin with ID#:4916 for reimbursement claims, and link back to the post. She will be able to help you in that matter.

I'm on 614.
I have done all the cache things and to make a long story short, I wiped everything out including Android itself. I did a brand new install and it worked fine.
I did not restore all my apps, just in case.
As soon as I installed the latest mic drivers and started using it, the reboot problems returned.
Although I don't know why it reboots, I do know that it has nothing to do with any of my apps or my data or my Android OS.
It is either the driver itself, or the speaktoit assistant that provokes it, or a combination of both.
I have no choice but to go with the test mic drivers for now, as they do allow me to use Skype and the Easy Voice Recorder. None of the other voice programs that I have tried, will work.

There are folks who will know exactly what you need to do, but I can tell you what I would do.
I would wipe CM9 right out and reinstall it again.
While I had the TP hooked up tp my PC for setting up the installation, I would scour through there and make sure that none of my personal data was in there, ie: pictures, music, documents, etc.

It only takes 30 minutes to uninstall and reinstall CM9, and that way, I would feel 100% confident that all my personal data was removed.

My only problem with that is when I get home I won't have but a minute to grab it and go. I'm not overly concerned since I only have a few apps on it (angry birds, fruit slice, etc.... stuff for my two year old). I do appreciate the advice though!!

That's why I never looked at it.

I'm pretty sure she means that it Force Closes.

Force Close. Sometimes certain programs will close out for no reason. Also I get "Gallery Stopped Working" when I'm not even using the gallery..

I'm just running CM9 with no nightlies. It doesn't bother me though. I'm sure theres and update to fix it. I'm just lazy.
