[webOSuser]

Have you heard any announcement from HP,

that they will extend the webOS Cloud Services after 3-15-2015 ?

I hope so !

Thank You, smkranz, for your webOS news and support !

Unfortunately there has been no word about any further extension of webOS Cloud Services past 3/15/15.  If any such word is given, updates will be posted here.

I am wondering if there is a still a chance for me to "save" my webos devices, at least for a short time.

I have a touchpad and quite a few phones that I 've not done much with for some time.

I completely missed the 7/23/13 date as well as the 1/15/15 data!

Then I just caught that the 1/15 date was extended through 3/15, so I have a couple days left, possibly?

I tried the bit about changing my touchpad's date to 7/1/13, and then later tried 7/19/13, but in either case when I try to open the app catalog it fails.

When I reboot the tablet I have a couple notifications, one says "PowerFish Free download failed" and next to it is an image that looks like the app catalog. Another is from Software Manager, "App updates are available for install".

If I go into software manager and click on the HP App Catalog (yellow triangle next to it) it says unable to resolve host.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you!

The App Catalog still works on my TouchPads, and I am able to search for and find the App Catalog Update.

Try Restarting the devices again, and going through the instructions again in the stickied thread about installing the App Catalog Update.  Make sure you turn off the Network Time switch in the Date & Time app.   I have had to try it several times on one or two of my devices, before it "took".

You are a day late and a dollar short my friend! You should just remove WebOS and install android.

Ask questions in those forums if you have problems.

Good luck,

There are at least 4 independent app stores available through Preware or sideloading.

Your TouchPad is trying to connect to the now absent HP servers to set up a profile. All you need to do is bypass this step to gain full use of your TouchPad. Instructions are here: http://forums.webosnation.com/hp-TouchPad/317164-activation-bypasstouchpad.html

Android is only one of the alternative systems you can run on this device. Linux and the new OpenwebOS project, LuneOS can be dual or even triple booted.
