HP TouchPad Software/Hardware

[#1]

I loaded cnet in the browser and was about to watch a video and I noticed the sound wasn't working. So i checked the mute in the top right and it said it was off. So i tried clicking the toggle switches and the icon popped up saying the sound was going up and down but there was no audible sound. Typing also didn't produce sound.

I had to turn off the Touchpad and reboot it to get the sound back.

Not sure what I did to produce this but I had Mail, Browser, Facebook & Messaging Apps open. 

Can this be logged as a bug?

Oh okay, I guess it's good to know that it is a known issue. Hopefully the update fixes the issue.

This is THE MOST frustrating bug in day to day use of this device.  The constant reboots to make the sound work really takes away from the experience of using a "multi-media" tablet.

This just happened again. Except it even refused to power down from the Device Restart menu. Then it locked up card. So I flipped it off. Then I tried holding the power button down for 5 seconds. Still wouldn't power off. So I had to do a hard reset of powerbutton and menu/face button to make it turn off.

HP better be logging these bugs! or else they are gonna have a heap of people moving to Android & iPad 2.

Failed again over night. This is beginning to be a chronic issue. Its not hardware, because when I reset it comes back. I think this something to do when the device sleeps and the screen is off, and it does remember to revive the audio function when it wakes up. When I get emails it chimes maybe once or twice, then I never get sound again, till its rebooted.

It's doin the 15 minute mambo! still goin... haha I'll let ya know. I'm optimistic that there were bug fixes other than in the release notes.

I have updated to 3.0.2 and already had to reboot once since the upgrade to restore the sound.
