We
give step-by-step instructions on three different ways you can speed up
the HP TouchPad. Everything from entering a simple code to overclocking
the tablet to 1.5 GHz.
Maybe you just rushed out to buy a $100 or $150 HP TouchPad, or maybe
you’ve had one for months. No matter the reason, you now own a tablet
that has a lot of great qualities. Unfortunately, speed is not one of
them. WebOS, HP’s mobile operating system, runs quite slow on the
TouchPad and we’re fairly certain its one of the major reasons why it
wasn’t selling, which prompted HP to cancel the tablet and hold a firesale to rid itself of excess inventory (most places report it as sold out).Yesterday, I went through 5 ways to use your new HP TouchPad. I encourage you to check that article out if you haven’t already and read up on what is happening with HP and why it won’t make any more webOS hardware. But before all that, you have a slow tablet that needs a speed boost. Let’s deal with that first. Below is one really simple way to speed up your TouchPad, and two more techniques that require more steps, but shouldn’t be too difficult if you’re somewhat tech savvy. If you’re not, find someone who is!
(Note: I’m running webOS v3.0.2. That is the only version that I have tested these instructions on. Check to make sure you’re up to date and proceed at your own risk.)
