The built-in 'portable hotspot' actually puts up a true AP - not an adhoc network.

The only problem with the built-in wifi tethering is that it blows up when you disable it. Something about the firmware getting unloaded and causing explosions. I've had it work for hours, no problem - all up until I go to disable it...

Like arrrghhh said, I just started up Wifi tethering and the Touchpad found the network. Put in a password and I was good to go. I was never able to tether WinMo TP2 and WebOS Touchpad. And I think I was able to get WinMo TP2 and Android Touchpad, but it wasn't reliable for me (actually wifi in general wasn't reliable for me in Android Touchpad).

Also when I turned off wifi tethering, the icon for it wouldn't go away. It stayed like that for awhile. I went to sleep about an hour later and I think the phone rebooted during the night because the next afternoon my uptime was only 12 hrs. So I think it took about 3 hours before it rebooted automatically after turning off wifi tethering.

Perhaps you missed it, but you can't disable wifi tethering. It will lock the phone up hard, forcing you to reboot it.

lolwut.

I couldn't just let this slide by, SD card installs are like 1,000,000x easier than this. Granted, I prefer NAND... it's just a heckuva lot easier to get running on the SD. Never heard anyone say they never could get it setup. I also don't remember you asking for help

.

Oh well, enjoy.

Arrrghhh, I am just telling you what I experienced. I turned on wifi tethering, used my Touchpad for about 40 minutes and then attempted to turn wifi tethering off by unchecking it. Turning it off wouldn't work though, the icon still stayed up in the status bar. I tried turning it off again later, but still wouldn't go away. It never locked up on me though during that time. I am assuming it must have rebooted on it's own, because I didn't reboot it manually. Next morning the icon was gone and and when I checked the uptime in the afternoon, it showed as 12 hours. I can try it again this evening if you like.

I also never said that this install was easy, SD install is definitely 1,000,000,x easier and I agree. And I couldn't get the SD version working on my phone, see thread below where you attempted to assist but everyone thought it was a hardware issue. My screen has not had that redish tint since installing this NAND version. Again if you reread my post I said "You're breathing new life into my phone for sure". The important part was "my phone" because it was determined that the issue I was seeing only affected me.

EDIT:
arrrghhh, now I can see where you read that I could get it working at all, I should have said "I could never get Android working properly via SD card"

Ah, I forgot completely about that tint problem. So it doesn't occur in this build? Good news. Very strange that it occurred at all, but NAND is better anyways

What variant do you have ? also i'm interested to see what paneltype is on your rhod.

If you dump dmesg, the paneltype should show during boot.

Well GPS just had a nice run.

I locked on my location, loaded Maps to find home the told it to navigate.

Turn by turn voice directions the whole way, even made it recalculate the route when I was 85% home.

No crash, no lock-up.

Will try it again on the way to work in the morning.

Had a waking lock-up just now.

Was playing a game (Super Sudoku if it matters), exited and hit the power button to put the phone to sleep. LED stayed orange longer than normal so I picked the phone up and hit the power button to wake it up (was it checking email or other sync?) but the screen stayed off.

I plugged the phone in to see if I could pull logs but adb didn't see the phone, so I rebooted and pulled last_kmsg (attached).

Near the end I see a line

Code:

BUG: soft lockup - CPU#0 stuck for 61s! [PowerManagerSer:151]
