hi everyone i hope someone else has had this experience because i looked around the internet and dont see much. A friend of mine bought a touchpad a few months back and within a few days he
noticed it was clicking and moving on its own at random times. So he returned it and got another one and this one is doing the same
thing. Is this a hardware issue or something that can be fixed with a setting or something? Very hard to believe he has gotten 2 of them now and both are doing the same thing.
Impossible to even begin to help without knowing what ROM and kernel and such

My bad it was doing this with stock WebOS and I installed Android nightly from 6/14 on this 2nd one he got and it was doing the same thing. Not sure about other details as I dont have it with me at the moment. Friend thought by putting Android on it was the culprit but I havent seen anyone else having these issues putting it on.
I told him that if it was doing this in WebOS as well then it cant be. Anyway sorry about the details if you need something else specific I can get it from him and post.

You're right I haven't seen anything like it. But since it was doing it with stock webOS then have you checked in the webOS forums? Have the TouchPad been upgraded to 3.0.5?

Will have to check those forums thx. As far as i know it wasn't
upgraded also.

I would have to guess that if an upgrade to the latest webOS then he's unfortunately gotten hold of another TouchPad with the same apparent hardware issue
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
yeah he seems to think they may have sent him back the same touchpad with the same issues. What a shame if that would be the case. Well other than checking for newer version it looks like he will have to send it back again and move on. Thanks for your help though

So about a week ago I tried to flash the alpha honeycomb rom. Played around with it a bit, but since Im in India I need my Tab to make calls via wifi back to the states, so I restored back to just before the flash. Then I saw there was a new build of Koush's kernal so I flashed that. About 3 days ago I started getting a weird wifi modem error and I would have to reboot to get wifi back. I just thought at first it was because the internet at my hotel isnt exactly amazing, and maybe i was building up a cache somehow? Honestly didnt really have a clue, but I didnt really care. Last night it got strange tho, I suddenly only had .90 mb of internal storage. I couldnt do anything because i had 0 space. So I deleted a few apps as fast as I could and used titanium to move everything else to the SD. I rebooted into cwm and wiped the cache, dalvik cahce, and even factory reset to no avail. then I downloaded the newest Koush rom thinking that if I just flashed another rom Id be fine because it would repartition and start fresh. Apparently not so much. I just bootlooped at the Verizon screen somehow. So again, thinking i knew what I was doing, tried to restore. Nooooothing again. Then I had to go to work so I got a buddys laptop and rebooted into download mode, installed heimdall on the pc and proceeded to try to flash the stock files from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955342&highlight=vzw ... thought all would be well, but I got an error saying descriptor not found. So i reinstalled the driver thinking that was the error I got. Tried again and got an error -12. So i unplugged to see if I could do aaannnything in cwm... and my screen did this... has anyone seen this or know how screwed I am?? Im in Mumbai for 12 more days and I think Ive had the tab for about 2.5-3 months so far... kinda screwed huh?
Don't worry!

state I am using the Tab to browse through the forum
If u using GSM tab, I think I can help
Your case seem the stock rom u mentioned is not a full set rom with modem and phone, try to unzip the rom,is there dbdata.rfs? the icon only mean software brick which will back to life easily.
sadly im using cdma
Dude calm down. Thats an alternative download mode. Find a cdma stock firmware that you had search around for it. follow the guide of reflashing and you should be up and running again
Have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=967175
This is the one that worked for me. Good luck!
So why have you posted in this forum?
The "non forum mod" mod strikes again... In his usual manner.
Sent from my "better than an iPad" tab.
so I made an attempt to flash the stock files. Hiemdall said it worked, but the progress bar on the tab never went past about halfway, overnight. Now it wont show that download screen unless its plugged into a power source and it turns itself off randomly then immediately turns back on into the download screen and does that process repeatedly. If I plug into the pc it is unresponsive and then turns off after a few min WTF did I dooooo?!?!

If you plug into a power source, without trying to turn your Tab on, do you get a battery icon?
Sounds like your battery is dead, in which case, if you can get it to charge you may yet be able to reflash...
Try letting it charge for at least a few hours and then take another crack at flashing.

Because im sick of seeing non-dev posts in the dev section. Its irritating to see and baffling how anybody could not have enough common sense to realise that posting stuff like this in here is wrong, We have a Q&A and Gen forum for that.
Because there doesn't seem to be any active Tab mods here to move/move, the only way make the users who make the posts in here aware is to tell them. If they are not made aware they will post their next topic here.
If nobody else is prepared to make them aware and to try and cut the crap down, I will, and don't care what you think.
when i had the origional error that you had it was because i tried flashing a kernel via heimdell on a virtual machine. i had the same screen, when i got to work the next day with a laptop that was windows i just booted into download mode and flashed a working kernel and it booted right up.

I agree that the forums need clearing. But you ploughing into every single misplaced thread isn't going to help.
You do realise you can tell the op that this isn't the right forum AND help them and point them in the right direction. Doesn't sound too hard right? Maybe try it sometime.

And I do!
The point is that the help/advice had already been given on this one but nobody made the Op aware that he/she had posted in wrong place so would have likely done same again next time.
If nobody tells them how will they know? (apart from the obvious, ie reading forum titles.)

I posted here because in other forums the general is mostly for those who have not rooted, and also have not flashed. In most cases people that know what theyre doing tend to only frequent the Dev sections, between that and the fact that all of my issues came from posts in the Dev section I thought this would be the correct place for it. apparently I am wrong, and sooo thankful that someone as heroic as yourself has stepped up to do away useless threads since we obviously have a space limit in our forum. wouldnt want to bog down our servers with my useless post of course...
regardless of the flaming and trolling... im still screwed, my post isnt moving and i will continue to ask those that know for help. thanks for the advice though, ill take it into consideration for my next post... now run along...
I have charged for about 9 hours now and still nothing could i have fried it somehow? If I bring it to verizon in the state its in, is there anyway for them to tell i flashed it? or will they just assume i did since it is pretty much in a state of brickiness as far as i can tell...
TIA and thanks to those whos British bigotry hasnt stood in the way of reading my post and attempting to lend a hand... where i come from the main purpose of a forum is to ask those who know for help and share the knowledge weve attained...
and im not getting a battery icon when i plug in, just the flashing on and off of the alternate download screen
thanks again
Ok to put this at rest coz its getting irritating. You are active old users. And you believe that tab needs more forum modding. I dunno what are the rules but when applying for a mod positions open apply or root for a candidate like yourself or nautious or bytork or anyone.
As for op does your tab get identified by your computer in odin or heimdell? As i said thats an alternate download mode. If computer identifies it. You can get a shot at flashing. Do it via a windows computer please. If tab is fried beyond repair which i doubt verizon will never know you flashed unless you tell them of course
sadly as of now the tab isnt read by the comp and i cant keep it in the download mode unless its plugged in
On Monday, i finally got my nook. However, after flashing CM 7.0.2, I have had terrible screen glitches i.e when i have my hands completely off the screen buttons will continue to get pushed. I have tried to reflash, but I am a newbie so my method of flashing might be wrong.
Thanks for the help!
if it persists after an initial reboot, you probably need to recalibrate the touch screen.
BTW, if you're having the screen bug out on you while plugged in, that's normal.
Anyway, sorry i don't have the link handy, but you can do a search for a touchscreen recalibration app. If you really can't find it after searching, PM me and i'll send you a link to a dropbox with the apk
It's a hardware issue. I had the same issue on my Nook color for a while. At first I thought it was software related due to CM7, but the issue persists even on stock and other roms. I actually exchanges my nook at best buy last night for a new one, and no longer have the issue at all.

Yeah I went back to stock and screen issues persist. Going to exchange it right now, hopefully get a working one this time. haha
I think it is a hardware issue... kinda.
Are you noticing any SD card problems too? I noticed some when my screen was glitching like this. It would show the sd card icon at the bottom (when I didn't have one inserted) saying "SD card corrupt need to reformat."
I bought mine on Sunday and it had the 1.1.0 OS on it. I was already noticing that it was difficult to "unlock" the slide bar because it wouldn't always follow my finger correctly... I think it's a bug in the 1.1.0 software that was factory installed. 1.2 seems to fix that.
For me I fixed it by replacing the 1.0.1 OS, then factory resetting it doing power+N twice (then N two more times), then upgraded to 1.2 using B&N's software.
Then, I formatted /system and /data and flashed phiremod 6.1
It's great now. Now problems at all. You'll still see the "Read forever" message at the beginning but that's ok.
Been using it for two hours without glitches... which is about 1.75 hours more than ever before! I will report back if the issues return.
Well got my new nook after exchanging it, works like a beaut.
hope i just didnt jinx myself.... hahaha
Thanks for the help, appreciate it.
When I put a screen protector on mine it fixed that issue.

Firstly, hello! This is my first post, I have been lurking a while but now finally I have something worthwhile to say.
I had a go at it but since this is my first try at porting anything and my first attempt at anything phone related it didn't go exceptionally well.
I managed to get the code to compile and boot so I am pretty proud of that.... but nothing much worked.
The fonts were all messed up, mostly unreadable, the WiFi didn't work, sounds didn't work and radio didn't work.
I can tell you that it was smooth and looked pretty (even with messed up fonts).
I got tired of messing around with it so I haven't done anymore with it since. Even though its rubbish I though someone might want to have a play with it so here is a link to the zips [Can't post links, sorry]
Remember to do a full nandroid backup and copy it off your phone just in case. Wipe cache, wipe dalvic, flash cm-10.1-20130728-Ubuntu-Touch-i9305.zip then raring-preinstalled-phablet-armhf.zip.
If you know how to get any of these issues fixed up, let me know and I might have another go at it.
I'd have no idea what to do with this seeing as I've been strictly just rooting and install custom Rom's and mods. But I'd like to see a port of Ubuntu Touch to the I9305 as well, there's already someone working on the I9300 so maybe you can have a look there.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/i9300https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/i9300
However if someone would point me in the starting direction and wouldn't mind giving me some tips and advice along the way I wouldn't mind having a go at it.
Just remember I'm self taught completely on these sort of things and haven't even really started on this area at all.

Just a query..I have a few things preventing me upgrading at the moment.. I'm not sure if it was simply because I didn't have system r/w when I tested it.
I'm happy to test myself when I get chance but until then, thought I'd ask in case someone knows.
Quiet day at work so I tested it today and still not working. Fails to create the bluetooth driver.
Sent an email to the dev to see where things stand.

No luck here on my nexus, mailed the dev aswell. Hope there is a fix underway
Slightly off topic, but I just tried a Stock ROM (I usually use an AOSP rom) and I cant even get the controller to connect. It just continues to flash. Came from a fresh install and have root. Restored to my previous rom and it works again. Anyone got it working on latest 5.1.1 stock?
Hi folks,
hope someone can help, I have a Nexus 6, which is rooted and has been updated by flashing the system img to Android 6.0.1 build number MMB29K, the phone appears to be working well and no real problems. However under status in the settings the battery status shows charging despite being unplugged and the battery level is showing at 3,465% The phone charges fine and I haven't run it flat yet, but has anyone come across this problem before and know how to solve it, the only issue I have is not knowning how much charge is left in the phone in case of emergency. All help appreciated. I've tried resetting etc but no joy
