Official webOS 3.0.2 for TouchPad Bug & Issue Tracking

**firesy** · 08/08/2011, 11:59 PM

Not sure if this is a bug or my TP. If I turn it off, either by power button or through device info, it will not turn back on. I HAVE to plug it in and press home button and power at the same time. I know its a 3.0.0 issue, but I didn't find it about 3.0.2. I've Doctored twice and done full erase twice. Also had absolutely no apps or settings other than sign in.

OK, I've got some more info on the issues I was having with my two different intranet sites at work. Tried again after 3.0.2. Here's my findings.

1st site:

Was unable to log in. It seemed as if either the cookie wasn't "staying" or the redirects were freaking the browser out. After the update to 3.0.2, same behavior.

I didn't see the same issue on my development site. Only difference was that I was accessing my dev site as a FQDN (mysite-dev.company.com), but the production site was a simple hostname (mysite).

I asked one of our IT guys to map the site to the domain in IIS so that I could use both "mysite" and "mysite.company.com". Immediately after he did that, I had absolutely no issues logging in and using the site. This was the same behavior connected directly to the corporate WiFi AND over VPN.

Therefore, something about the browser and either cookies and/or redirects is making the browser unhappy if the URL isn't a FQDN.

2nd site:

Was unable to download a linked PDF from the browser. Downloading the PDF when connected directly to the corporate network just errored out in the download manager and wouldn't actually download anything. When connected to VPN, it would look like it was trying to download, but not actually get the PDF.

I saw this same behavior on the Wells Fargo Banking site when trying to download a PDF updated banking notice.

While the download of the PDF failed, the file actually showed up in my downloads folder on the TouchPad. Opening it up revealed an HTML error message. This message is below. I've modifed some of the URLs to remove my company name, so that no bytes are harmed in this posting.

I am trying to open this link: Highcharts - Interactive JavaScript charts for your webpage

Here, you should see two charts at the top of the page, both built using JavaScript only (see attachment).
Instead, all you see is black boxes. This is a very strange behaviour considering that BOTH JSJSJS $and$ $Flash$ $are$ $supposed$ $to$ $be$ $supported$, $aren$'$t$ $they$?

Engine .. I've shut down and restarted my TP several times and have never had this problem. But somehow it doesn't sound like a h/w issue .. maybe a bad OS install or something (???) Anyway, I would return it for a new one.

**firesy** · 08/09/2011, 04:45 PM

And that's just what I did. Brought it home, Doctored to 3.0.2, and did a Full erase and all is well. So far....
Kinda scary....I was an original Pre user (5 of them) and remember quite well the build quality issue we had with those. Sure hope my issue is not a sign. Love webos, but my experience with the products has not been well.

I was using the App Catalog last night and was flipping through apps and adding them to my Bookmarks. Later I went to my App Bookmarks and scrolled around. The scrolling got very, very slow and then it froze completely. About 5 seconds after the scrolling froze my App Bookmarks were completely wiped out and I had a gray, empty App Bookmarks screen. All App Bookmarks were gone. I don't know why it happened, but now I am going through the "fun" of finding all those 22 apps again.

I think there are problems when you add 2 accounts for the same provider (for me: 2x gmail, 2x gmx). E.g., my sent items for the gmx accounts (e-mail) do not show up in the sent folder...
There also were some weird things going on in Calendar when I had 2 Gmail calendars in there... disabling one of them sorted things out.

Schwab.com

When logged in some hyperlinks work and others do not. When trying to select different accounts (ie IRA vs non-IRA) it does not respond and/or link through. Essentially makes it impossible to trade via the TouchPad. I will reboot and see if that helps.

**Tim Dugan** · 08/11/2011, 02:11 PM

The screen does not scroll properly. When adding a certificate, the password block is hidden behind keyboard and will not scroll up into view. If you know the routine, typing in password works.

After adding, certificate is hidden behind top bar and tricky to examine.

16G TP with 3.0.2 and F15C kernel.

webOS 3.0.2, all double checked to make sure it wasn't a one time deal

Functional ---------------------
Music App - Album Art - Any song that has non-Latin characters in song title fails to have its album art displayed. Tested with an accented e (as in Caf�), Traditional Chinese and Japanese. Not an issue with writing the album art on the mp3 file itself because with no changes other than removing any non-Latin characters from the song title, the album art displays.

Contacts App - Default Contacts Account - Any account that are specified in settings to have contact syncing turned off still shows up in the list of available choices for default contacts account.

Messaging App - Ringtone Selector - In settings, the ringtone selector is always there regardless of if the alert is set to ringtone or other settings.

Cosmetic -----------------------
Music App - Song Number Header - In Albums view, when pressing the track number header to sort songs by track number, the column header shrinks to the width of the # symbol, yet the rest of the column remains the same width, resulting in misaligned track numbers relative to the header.

Application Deleted in USB Mode Alert Pop-up - Size - Connect Touchpad to PC, delete an app, eject, a message pops up saying that some apps were deleted and are being restored. There is a bunch of unused empty space under the OK button.

Links below to threads discussing the problem of no notifications of available updates by the software manager and also not being able to update from any available updates notification.

system updates doesnt tell me I have updates

Is anyone else seeing THIS?!?

**apollo_sg** · 08/13/2011, 01:41 AM

lycos mail is badly scaled. big bad strip of space between right column and email headers.

**davidtm** · 08/13/2011, 08:55 AM

Didn't see this mentioned before - Calendar week view has all-day events way up at midnite, not "locked" in the header as in Day view. Should be an easy fix.

Browser - going Back to previous page doesn't remember page position when viewed before - goes back to the top without any zoom used.

I have had problems with call audio both on BT from my pre and from skype.

Whenever I try to answer a call (both skype and phone via BT) i can hear them well on speaker from the touchpad.

The problem come in when I want to plug in using a mic and a headset, the audio disappears and I can no longer be heard. THere are times when I cannot even hear the other side.

On another note, when I am on headset mode when in a call and I try to unplug it and go speaker on the TP, the audio disappears too...

I noticed that I have to be in speaker or headset mode before each call for the audio to be ok. I cannot transfer between headset and speaker. THere are also instances that I have to quit the phone app in the TP for the audio (sometimes the video too) to work again. THere was one instance I had to reboot.

Anyone having the same problem?

Hello,
After installing 3.0.2, it looked like file scanning issues were fixed, however after few days using it I noticed that :
1. New pictures, movies or music files copied via USB transfer are not seen
2. Even for old ones (before 3.0.2), only half of my music library is seen

Another abnormal behaviour in music app : some MP3 files are well displayed but cannot be played. When hitting the "play" button, nothing happens. For now, I'm unable to determine what is the difference between files playing correctly and other ones. All of them are encoded in MP3, 192kbit/sec.

Regards,

Hi,

WebOS 3.0.2, Touchpad 32gb

ok, in messaging I'm not getting any notifications - either sound or in the top bar. Also if I go to prefs and change the sound for notifications then it locks and I end up having to discard the app and relaunch it.

Issue #1 (301 redirects):

If the browser receives the following response from a web server, then it will display the contents of the new location, but the original URL is still displayed in the address window and the context of the web page still references the original URL (instead of the new one).

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: path/webpage.html

This results a broken web page as nothing functions as the context is still the original web page URL.

Issue #2:

When a web page has form tags outside of the table data tags, the table rendering is incorrect. As an example, the following HTML will cause the HP Touchpad browser to display an extra "empty" column:

<form method="post" name="ctrlform" target="deviceframe" action="/stif">
<td nowrap id="dx1015" class="tableroweven">
<span style="display='';" id="dv_Control1015">
<a name="bm1015"></a>
<input type="hidden" name="bookmark" value="1015">
<input type="hidden" name="IFrameRef" value="1015">
</span>
</td>
</form>

I understand that the form tags should have been contained within the table data tags, but I cannot control how web administrators create their online forms.

The HP Touchpad browser is the only browser I am aware of that experiences both of these issues.

Ultrajones

Apps appear in the App Catalog long before you can view them, or buy them.. (In UK)

Click here for a screenshot

Ow.ly - image uploaded by @RobEarls

^^ This is what appears when you click on NomNomNom which appeared in the catalog this morning.

Later on today this will be available to buy. But it's a bug that this error should show right now.

Should not show until it's available.

EDIT: Oh yeah, there's no back button, annoying!

EDIT 2: When the app is available to buy, it keeps giving me a download error. I'll try again in a few hours.

**GB1** · 08/16/2011, 08:38 AM

Good news for a change: the email now shows the recipients' name in the Sent messages as it should for my Yahoo account. It also now communicates with the server correctly to add a sent email in the Sent folder. Also, the Calendar is showing my Yahoo events: however, you have to press resynch in the menu (seems to me this should be done automatically when you open it).

Can you give me an example websites that exhibit these behaviors?
