Thread: turning updates off

is there a way how to turn off the automatic firmware update on the hp touchpad just reverted back to 3.02. any suggests

I went back to 3.0.2 and all is well again. Accelerometer works properly again, wifi doesn't drop out, and the TouchPad charges fine. Plus th email app show the mail after tapping a new mail notification.

There's a catch though. You have to stop the Touchpad from trying to install 3.0.4 again as it will. There is a way to disable automatic updating. Here's how:

Plug your TouchPad to the computer and using WebOSquickinstall on your PC/Mac hit the tools tab and Linux Command shell.

From the linux command line enter:
Cd /usr/bin
mount -o remount,rw /
chmod -x /usr/bin/UpdateDaemon
killall UpdateDaemon

If you disabled your update you might want to re-enable it at some point.

Cd /usr/bin
mount -o remount,rw /
chmod +x UpdateDaemon
mount -o remount,ro /

then restart your Touchpad and automatic updating should be back.

Until the bugs get fixed in a subsequent kernel update, I would advise doctoring back to 3.0.2.

You can find 3.0.2 here: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/...ions#Wifi_Only
