Open the Phone and Video Calls app in the Apps tab on the launcher screen. Once in the app select the DialPad tab and enter the following in the dialer like you would on a phone:

##LOGS# (##5647#)
Hit the green Dial button.
On the subsequent Collect Logs screen, select Change Logging Levels
Hit the Set Logging To Minimal and confirm

Your TouchPad just got a lot more responsive as HP took the tech support approach to log virtually everything behind the scenes to make debugging things easier should things go wrong. There is so much event logging in the background that it seriously impacts the TouchPad’s performance, as it is constantly doing things it doesn’t need to do. The setting you just changed reduces the amount of logging that is going on.

Thanks, I correctly-clocked* my touchpad to 1.5GHz and made some other small tweaks, and it is always hard to tell for sure but changing the excessive logging seems to have made a perceptible improvement :)

*I don't want to say OC because 1.5 is the suggested speed, HP was just trying to save some power. I don't want to scare off people who typically don't overclock (like me) because the 1.5 clock speed really is worthwhile and as safe a mod as they get.

I didn't realize that some of this tweaks are mentioned in the OC thread under the General section. . I'm not a fan of over clocking unless I really have to. I find that after these tweaks acceptable in terms of performance as compared to the performance out of the box.

Here's a good guide I wrote up: http://briefmobile.com/speed-up-the-hp-touchpad

Basically walks you through patches and overclock. Really smooth after all that is done.

Posting for the trail. Thanks for this.

I installed the 1.5 overclocking method, and I went to get my touchpad off of the touchstone and it was very very hot. Removed the uberkernel and it was fine. Any ideas?

I don't see the "DialPad tab". What could be wrong?

Done all of the above except the missing "DialPad tab", so I couldn't change to minimal logging. I've the 32GB model.

BTW, your instructions there has an error on the dev code mode, the numbers provided is wrong. It should be 20060909 instead of 20090606. Confirmed from the image provided.

You wont see a dial pad until you have either connected the tablet to a phone via bluetooth, or logged into skype.

Just go to device info > custom application then type ##LOGS#
