[Q] Screen problem - Nook Color General

The touch control on my nook is out of control. It came so sudden, nothing seems to trigger it. Is it a hardware problem or software problem? I don't want to return it as I'm in Korea now...
CWR flashed NF 0.6.7, just bought a day ago.

This happens when my NC is plugged in with the charger that came with it. I'm trying to get a replacement from B&N. Works fine with the charger that came with my Droid and Droid X. Being an Android smartphone user prior to the NC, I know that lots of people had this problem on their Android smartphones when they used cheap, generic third-party microUSB cables.

Or clean your screen. Lots of people are reporting funky screen behavior due to dirty screens.

Unplug it and turn down the brightness amf see how it goes.

cleaning the screen seems helps, but it is so annoying if happens on the street... I can't always bring my microfiber cloth with me.

Why are you playing with this in the street?
Are you using a screen protector? If not it.should help.

I had mine plugged in and updated to the newest softkeys, unplugging it, restarting it, and not giving softkeys superuser after restarting it stopped it for me.

Sorry for the double post but how did you get it to work? My backflip charger doesn't seem to work and only makes it wake.

if you use a non B&N charger, the NC won't register that it's charging, but it actually is. you can watch the battery percentage go up as time passes. it just charges more slowly.

What eyecrispy said.
I don't know how much juice the backflip's charger carries. My Droid and DX chargers carry lots of juice; lesser chargers can't keep up with their usage. Also, I've heard that the NC's OEM charger has two extra pins that let it fast charge. So, another cable may charge more slowly in comparison. I think the extra pins are also what causes the issue that eyecrispy described with the NC showing that it's charging only with the OEM charger. By the way, I think that only happens with the stock Nook software (rooted or not). With Nookie Froyo on internal memory, it shows charging with both the OEM and my DX's chargers.
I've noticed that battery meter being all over the place on this thing. Sometimes it doesn't reach 100% (stays at 99%). Sometimes after I've had it plugged in for a while the battery meter looks like it hasn't gained any additional charge, but a minute later it updates.

NookieFroyo registers the charging on screen

Official Charger Broken - Bring Dead Nook Back to Life?

Hey guys, I got an email on my nook the other day, and when I picked it up, I didn't realize I still had it plugged into the charger, so I accidentally yanked it and broke the B&N micro SD cable.
I'm running phiremod, so normally this isn't a problem since I can slow-charge from my PC or car adapter.
The only problem is, charging like this only works once you've loaded the CM kernel. If you try to charge from a dead battery, you can't do that!
Right now, my nook color is dead. I can plug it in and I get the "not enough power to turn on, please wait 15 minutes and try again" message.
My question is, is there any way to charge this sucker (from death) without shelling out another $25 for the charger (and all I need is the cable, but they are almost just as much).
I have it plugged into my PC currently, and it has been plugged in for about an hour, but it still won't power on. If I leave it plugged into the B&N charger with a regular microUSB cable (even all night) it won't charge a drop.
Any suggestions?
Edit:
FWIW, my nook DID turn on after about an hour - an hour and a half of charging with 11% battery and continues to charge via the PC with a regular microUSB cable. It takes a while, but it will charge
Its good that it started working again. I know some things need to use an official charger to come from the dead. If you wanted to see if you could make it charge faster, (both from dead and regularly) you could try a different USB to wall adapter with higher wattage/amperage. Think iPad, XOOM, or Atrix (all high power-draw devices) charger...

Higher amperage will help...but the magic is in those extra long connectors on the stock cable..to fast charge you will prolly need to get a new one.
Just a friendly PSA: lithium ion batteries should not be deep discharged.
I'm going to need a new cable pretty soon. The end that plugs into the Nook has been cracking and falling apart. I'm guessing I'd have to get it direct from B&N?

You could try this one:

Just wanted to add: I've been able to bypass the low battery screen. Pop in a bootable Clockwork SD, then plug into the power source. If there's enough power you'll get into recovery. Swap back to your usual SD, and select the reboot option from inside recovery. It'll boot straight into the OS, bypassing the low battery warning.

Call B&N tech support and tell them that you have a bad USB cable. I did, and they sent me a new charger+cable within a week, gratis. YMMV.
i got one at best buy $14.95 OEM
The stock B&N charger is 2 amps (or 2000 milliamps) so any charger with less than that will take longer to charge. USB only supplies .5 amps so takes a lot longer to charge.
The ebay link above is a 1 amp charger.
I had the same thing happen to my Nook, and I've been fairly regular at the local brick and mortar B&N the last month or two (1 hour book read and various purchases and stuff).
So I took the cable in and showed it to them. They took that one and handed me a new cable. 'tis my suspicion that it's a fairly common occurrence with the sample units.
Worst you can do is ask.

ive been struggling with this for a few days since this whole battery issues have been going around with the late CM 82 nightlys... well. i wanted to make sure that my nook wasnt toast. (i have 3 and 3 different chargers and cables all OEM all new) so just last night right before the "fix" was merged into nightly 91/93.... ill be damned if i didnt do exactly what you said and managed to suck enuff juice out to boot off SD into recovery... however... i thought problem was solved and i let it sit in recovery (plugged into wall) but had i known what i known now... it WONT charge without the CM kernel installed. Now i think i managed to "brick" an unbrickable device. does this make any sense? im not good with words i guess.. but anyway... there isnt enough juice to even get to the "connect charger screen" hell... i bet most people dont know theres actually ANOTHER "connect your damn charge dummy!!!" screen that comes up after the one that says try again in 15 minutes lol. so ya... been sitting on each of my chargers for at least an hour each hoping to get some juice out ... and its a no go. o well.. i got 2 others... but dammit i had that one JUST the way i wanted it. idk why i even went to .32 kernel... it was a nightmare from first boot. (no i did not revert to stock rom first as i hear is what does the trick)

Can you damage a device using higher amperage chargers than supplied with the device (i.e. using nook charger at 2 amps to charge cell phone supplied with 0.7 amp charger)?

The tip of the Nook charger won't fit into a standard micro-USB port.
But if you plug a standard micro-USB cable into the Nook wall charger piece, I believe the USB power protocol will automatically modulate down to the highest the device can accept.

[Q] Battery charging problem?

I've had the Droid 3 for about 10 days now, and I've been encountering an intermittent problem with charging the phone.
Last night, I plugged in my phone so that it would charge overnight. I made sure that the connections to both the phone and the outlet were firm, and upon plugging it in, my phone's battery icon and lock screen both indicated that it was charging. However, when I woke up this morning, I discovered that the battery had actually continued to discharge overnight. Despite this, the battery icon and lock screen both continued to say that the battery was charging.
I've run into this problem three times this past week. It's entirely possible that I just have a defective device, but I wanted to check and make sure that nobody else was experiencing this issue before taking it back to Verizon.
Check the task manager for programs using lots of cpu. I've found that using google maps nav in the car dock while charging still in fact uses more power than it could charge. Your issue is with the screen off though so check for background apps.

I have had this problem 2 times and I have had the phone for about the same time. I plugged it in at like 40% watched a movie screen never came on till the movie was over I looked at my screen and the battery was at 11%. I was thinking maybe just a bad connection untill I looked at the notification bar and it said it was charging!
I just got my Droid 3 yesterday and last night, the first night of use, it did the same thing. Even if I go into battery usage and look at the graph it'll say charging but the power level will be going down. Very frustrating.
A Verizon rep I spoke with recommended trying a different charger. Sounds reasonable enough, so I'll give that a shot and post back after a few nights of use.
What is the current rating of the chargers you guys are using? (i.e. 850 mA, 1 A, etc). A good rule of thumb is not use anything less than 1 A (1000 mA).
The Motorola-supplied charger is 850mA.

This sounds logical. I had this same problem two phones that happened to have a slide-out keyboard (Shift, G2) and the problem vanished when I used a different charger. I just read today that 100s of people were having this problem today in a news feed.
I was having the issue too, so I used a 2A charger that came with my Huawei tablet...no more issues! (Charge time is about 1.5 hours too!)

I'd be careful about using higher amperage chargers. Don't want to be burning out the charging circuitry. Not saying you will.. just be careful using a charger not designed specifically for the device.
Apparently the new Moto LiPo batteries have another level of overcharge protection. To be safe, I'm going to use an ohm-meter about once a week or so to check the internal contacts (a higher ohm rating would suggest damage).

That's not the one I have, I'm using the USB-output charger from the S7 SLIM, then the Moto supplied USB cable.
Well, it's been a few days, and I haven't experienced the problem since switching to a different charger. Granted, the problem was intermittent, so it's difficult to know for certain if the charger was in fact the issue, but I'm content with this solution.
I've been using my iPad's 5.1V 2.1A charger without issues for a few days. It charges the extended battery from 10% to full in a little over an hour.
That's the dual-core proc for ya. Wonder why the Xoom uses a proprietary charger? dual-core devices nom battery.

No? Dual core is more efficient, it shuts down one of the processors when it's not in use. Dual core means nothing about power efficiency. As a matter of fact, it can have an advantage. Each core uses less power, and combined, they can use less power than a similarly powerful chipset.
I've also run into some issues on my 5 day old Droid 3. It seems to be when disconnected from the charger. I have two regular Moto chargers for this, and tried a 1A HTC charger, which this thing will not charge from.
I tried using different micro USB cables, which didn't help, either. I was trying to move the phone around while charging, and seemed to encounter the issue. Either it's a connector issue for the mUSB, or the (especially short and stiff) charging cables have broken conductors inside, and we're getting a bad batch of cords.
Possibly the D3 has its own issue with charging, but I didn't have a problem until this morning. regular mUSB cords won't work for me at all, as I've tried all I have.
Given this issue, I'm wondering how widespread this is, and if it's something to take the phone back for. I took me a few hours (over 3) of waiting and fiddling with it, but it's at least charging now.
I had this issue to. I used a different charger and cord to charge my phone at night woke up the next day no charge. I went to work pluged in to my wall charger and still no charge. I did a factory reset thinking that might work but it did not. I was going to take it to a verizon store after work so on the way there I pluged in to my car charger an it started to charge so I skipped the store. When I got home I used a different cord and wall charger and it also worked. I did notice that when I plugged in the night before that a small little white light was lit up for a second in between the charging port and hdmi. I know there is a light there but never seen it light up before. So maybe that was behind all of this. Not had a problem sense.

The amperage you see stated PS units has no effect on your phone. That's not how many amps leaves the unit to charge your battery. That's how much the PS unit can handle as a draw. In reality the reason the stock ones are only 850 only means that the manufacture used spec parts for the PS unit. i would think that Motorola's minimum spec was 850 and so that's what the PS units manufacture used.
The higher the number means nothing other than you can bet the 1AMP one is going to out last the 850.
Of course the last statement is highly speculative because i have no idea what the amp rating for the phone is. But what i do know is that all the parts are made in china and you can bet they are not going to overbuild anything.
If the amp range is 675-832, which is the number I would expect then if the phone draws more than 850 for an extended period of time the units internal fuse could blow. Unless of course you purchased a third party unit that has an external fuse. Then you can jsut replace the fuse and not have to worry about going out to buy Chinese garbage. lolz
but then again i bet this Droid 3 is made in china, oh well. I like it anyway

Nope. Stock samsung charger and stock samsung cable. I'm. Glad I charge it at night. If I had to use it while charging, I'd blow my temper very quickly. It's exasperating, the touch.
This happens to me too and I've seen other reports for it.
I'm pretty sure this has to do with the charger. Doesn't matter if it's original Samsung or not - some chargers just cause this. It happens with my stock charger - when charging from it, often the screen doesn't react at all to touch, and when it does, it's quite poor - when dragging something on the screen, the phone would think I am pressing/releasing the finger all the time. Sometimes the accuracy is way off - for example, I want to press "L" on the (QWERTY) keyboard, and will get "X" or "R" instead (letters which are nowhere near it). When I use my girlfriends LG charger, everything works almost perfect (there are still some problems but those are barely noticable). When charging via USB, this doesn't seem to happen.
So, unless you're willing to take the charger to warranty (where they might demand your phone aswell), I've found the following solutions workarounds:
1. Charge using USB. Sure, it takes much longer, but as far as I know, charging a battery slower can only be good for the battery. Won't really do if you want to game while charging, since many games will draw more power than you will get from USB.
2. Use the S-Pen. This is what I do when I need to use my phone while charging. The S-Pen doesn't ever seem to be affected by this.
3. Buy a new charger - unless you're worried it might cause your battery to explode or something, you can buy a cheap no-name charger, since even the Samsung official ones don't seem to be immune to this problem. Just make sure you are able to test it before buying, since it is a hit-or-miss thing, regardless of the brand.
I don't think it's exactly due to the charger per se, but the amount of voltage coming through it.
I used to live in an area with really bad, unstable power that had less than the standard 220V coming out of the outlet.
Whilst charging my Galaxy S the screen was incredibly unresponsive when on the charger (even if it was at 100%). As soon as I removed it from the charger, it was fine.
Using the same charger now I'm closer to town with "normal" stable power, it works fine on the charger.
I had the same problem charging the phone on my old Asus T91 netbook. It didn't put out much power via the USB ports (If I used an external DVD drive I had to use one of those cables that lets you plug into 2 USB ports for the extra power).
But the phone works fine plugged into my full powered laptop.
Maybe try a different outlet and see if that helps.

Used to happen on my evo also. Hasn't happened to me on this phone though

Mine reacts the same when charging, even with other chargers with current out of other mains. Feels more like a big latency than less sensivity to me.

Just purchased Touchstone charger and my touchpad says charging but not charging.

The battery icon shows it's charging and in battery settings it also says charging but the actual percentage does not go up. It actually loses charge. Currently using CM9 nightlies. Btw I also tried it in Web OS...same result.

Could it be hardware problem?
As a last resort, uninstall Android (Acmeunistaller), then dr back to stock WebOS, and if your TP is still under warranty, call HP.
Could be the problem is the touchstone itself. If you can charge ok with the wall charger, then the chances are that the touchstone is to blame.
O you have the touchpad in an HP case? With the case on the touchpad placement on the touchstone is critical. Even without a case, you might have to move the touchpad around a bit to hit the "sweet spot" where it will charge properly.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
I have been using a TouchStone since December. I have also had the HP case since then. I never have issues. The placement area is no stricter for me with the case vs no case.
I have never seen it register it was charging without actually charging. It worked for me on CM7, webOS and CM9. If you don't get the placement right, it won't say its charging, at least not for me.
One thing you may want to check is the USB power adapter you are using. The included adapter has a 2000 mA output. I have seen my TouchPad "charge" while losing battery when plugged into a computer or cigarette lighter and only getting 500 mA, CM9 won't show an error, but webOS does. It pops up that you aren't using the right charger or something.
Sent from my Galaxy S II
I take it out of the case to charge. I have noticed there is a sweet spot. I am running CM9 and there is a lightning bolt inside battery icon showing its charging plus in battery settings says its charging. But still not gaining charge. The clock display does pop up when on the touchstone. I don't know if touchstone is faulty(was new in sealed box) or if there is a setting or a bug I am missing on the touchpad?

"It just works"
There is no setting or tricks. My toddler has it down, you just put it on there, and it charges. HP made a point to mention the official HP case is designed to not interfere with the TS, and mine works fine. That is the reason I didn't buy a different case.
I would try to return/exchange the TouchStone if you can. If a new one doesn't work, then its the part inside your TouchPad, that is unlikely, but in that case contact HP. They don't advance replace anymore, you would have to send it in for repair.
Sent from my Galaxy S II
Mine, inside the case, has never given me any problems. It is typically charging off a Dell Latitude E6400 laptop and doesn't have issues. *Occasionally* it will constantly do the perkup perkup perkup docking sound (like it's stuck consantly docking). I just take it off the charger and put it back. I keep it on full time and it doesn't lose charge and will gain charge if below 100% I just got my father one and I'll know fairly soon if he will be able to keep it plugged in and on with a touchstone and not lose charge.

Not all cases are created equal. The distance the TP is from the TS is important. Thus a thin case might not cause problems where a thicker one would. Personally, I'm not very comfortable with a thin case. My old fingers tend to get clumsy.

It may be that if the battery is very low, the TS is not able to run the TP and charge the battery at the same time. Have you tried turning the TP off and then putting on the TP? If you do, it should turn the TP on. When it does, use the volume control to choose the "Shutdown" option on the boot menu. Let it charge for a few hours and check if TP took the charge.

Charging Issues, special cable and charger needed

Just picked up this phone and I love it. On stock 4.1.2 I have charging issues where the phone will only charge with a very good charger capable of putting out >1A and a beefier cable.
Which rules out charging from computer and some shoddier chargers. This is a deal breaker for me.
I will go ahead with rooting and upgrading OS to custom, if someone can verify that this will be a non issue after completing that? Thanks.
Edit: further when streaming netflix and charging, the chargers can't keep up with about 30% screen brightness. Will also be resolved?
how many chargers don't output 1a or greater these days? im using a htc hd2 charger that's nearly 4 years old and a generic usb cable and have no issues charging the phone

Well for the second point I'm even using a 2A charger and and its charged 3% in 2 hours, with netflix, which seems more like a software issue.
and have you rebooted the phone? I had issues like that on my old galaxy note, a reboot often fixed it due to other processes and apps running in the background
I also am struggling to find a decent cable to charge my phone with.
The supplied cable charges it very quickly, but is a little too short to comfortably use the phone while it's charging.
I have purchased a couple of longer cables that seem to be of decent quality (24 awg), but the time to charge the phone fully increases dramatically when using them.
This is all when using the supplied charger.

Tried the reboot, still the same issue. I think I've realized the problem and it looks like software.
I have a kill-a-watt meter. With screen on, and netflix streaming, for some reason its only drawing 3.3W. @ 5V this is only .66A. Clearly too low to charge with. However when I turn the screen off, after a few seconds draw goes to 8.2W, ~1.6A. Now I'm not concerned with staying on the stock OS, however do people still have trouble with this on custom OS?
Sweird...I've never noticed any slow charging on my 6606. I've used a few old chargers from HTC , nexus and Samsung. My Motorola Bluetooth charger however doesn't charge very fast at all but I'd expect it not to.
Its not the best to use ur phone to much while charging tbh. It might kill u battery quickly and damage the phone itself.
