Hi, I have given a tablet to my mum (82) and have it running webOS as she only uses the touchstone to charge and is not good with wires usb's etc.
Most of the rom's I currently use can be finicky on the touchstone and I can't remember which cm9 or 10 used to work flawlessly.
So if anyone is currently using a touchstone and not having any problems could you please tell me what rom to try for her.
Thank you
Edit
Well the Touchstone seems to work fine with both Flintman and Milac KK data media Roms, will probably go for Milac as the home button work's and volume +/- is the same way round as webOS.

i'm still on cm9 (official nightly) and never had any problems with touchstone
(for your reference even your problem is solved already)
I'm using jcsullin's excellent kitkat 3.0 cm11 since this morning. Previously it's been the cm10.1 build from before Christmas. Various builds all the way back to cm7. Never quite at the bleeding edge, as I wait for Bluetooth and camera stability. Touchstone has always worked for me. Since I have it in an official HP cover, I always place it quite carefully in landscape on the touchstone.
Can't believe how well supported we are on this tablet - thanks to all devs for keeping it up there as a great device to use.

I too have also just installed jcsullins CM11 and it is running very nicely.
I agree, I was using JCSullins CM10.1 and now 11 and both worked perfectly with the touchstone. The most finicky part is making sure the TP is correctly centered on the TS. It doesn't seem to self center as well as the phones did.
I've been on milaqs cm11 3.0 kernel for couple weeks now. I have no problems using the touchstone charger as its my primary charger. I previously had milaqs cm10.2 running and also official cm9 with no problems charging with touchstone charger. I've used the hptp recently till it shut its self down at 2% charge. Put it on touchstone charger it showed charging and after about a minute it turn itself on and kept charging to full so it work flawlessly for me.
I too am using JCSullins CM 11 and have no problem with touchstone charging. Agree with the centering so don't use in cramped areas where it is difficult to see
or place.

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.

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
I purchased a HP Touchpad in last week's WOOT-off. Was wondering if the induction charger capability works under either the CM7 or CM9 android mods?
Is induction charging simply an automatic hardware thing, or does the OS need to control it?
Any help appreciated: TIA.
I have had Nook Colors, HTC phones and Asus Transformer and XDA folx are the MOST HELPFUL on the planet.

Has worked fine for me under both CM7 and CM9.
Awesome! Thanks.

Im planing on eventually getting a Touchstone for my Touchpad. I'm wondering, are there problems with charging the TouchPad on the Touchstone while running CM9? I would assume it just charges like normal since its a hardware feature. But does the software act up since it doesnt recognize HOW its being charged? I have read that people have had some issues like freezing up or the charger doesnt charge in CM9. What has been everyone's experience with it?
I used to have a lot of freezes and lock-ups when using the Touchstone -- primarily when taking the TP off of the TS. However, with any recent nightly it's been MUCH more trouble-free. I don't know that I've had another instance of this at least since we got official nightlies, and maybe even prior to that.
Right now, it's a little annoying that the Clock app always comes up when you start charging, but that's about it. I believe you can remove the Clock app to get around this, but I haven't tried yet. I don't know that I'd say it's worth what I paid for it, but it is pretty slick to just drop the TP onto the TS without fiddling with cables.

So you havent had any instances of leaving your TouchPad on the Touchstone and come back to find it drained of battery? Thats what I am mostly worried about since I have seen people post what happens to their TouchPad running CM9 and letting their battery die.
I've never had any issues using the touchstone to charge the TP when running CM7 or CM9. For me, it has always worked flawlessly.
I downloaded Dock Nothingness to prevent anything from coming up when you use the touchstone. Android interprets the touchstone as a dock charger so it can tell the difference between the two.
I also use dock nothingness.
I got a TouchStone before I put android on it. I have always left it on the TS to charge at least daily. I have yet to have a single issue with freezing or draining. I used it on webOS for a few weeks, very little on CM7, and CM9 since the very first alpha. Running alpha 2 now. Currently I have 311 hours of up time on the TP, I would guess 111 hours of that on the TS, based on what CPU spy is telling me. Nary a single issue here.
I don't know what (if at all) cases others are using. Because I got a TS I went with the HP official case. Had it almost as long as the TS, and leave it on the TP all the time. Pretty nice case IMO, soft touch, micro fiber cover cleans the screen, built in easel. IIRC, I read on some amazon reviews certain cases produced weird results on the TS.

Thanks for the replies. When I do get the Touchstone, I will probably look into putting llama or tasker on my TouchPad so when it gets to about 20 percent, my device will shut down. Like I said, thats the only real worry I have with it due to what I've been reading. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to put it on there anyway.
I like how WebOS plays a sound to confirm that it's charging on the dock. Is there an easy way to do that in CM9? Other than that, I love it.
I did just load the nightly two days ago, and yesterday the battery was drained after sitting on the stone all day. It could just have been user error, though. I'll see tonight when I get home.
I have a Droid X2 and I know when it gets set on its dock it makes a sound. All devices are different though and I dont know if that option was built into CM9 or not.
BTW, no problem with the 4/16 nightly using the stone yesterday.
Just got a touchstone, can't wait to stop using that stupid cord
you guys think leaving it on the dock all the time will mess up the battery?
No.

I was leaving mine pluggen in the wall almost constantly. Since I do the same with my phone, I didnt see a problem with it. But I went home one day and had some problems getting it to turn on. It finally did and since then, I've just been shutting it off when I dont use it. I'm a little paranoid about it not coming back on. lol. But leaving devices plugged in dont usually hurt the battery. I think they are pretty much made for that now a days.
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.
Anyone know why?

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.

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.

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.
I bought my son-in-law a 32gb touchpad in April of this year. He has run almost exclusively on Android. He powered it off last week, and now he can not power it back on. He's tried every suggestion posted. I'm seeing more thraeds about people in the same boat. Is it just poor quality or is it something else?
The battery is likely dead. They have a problem with charging when dead. Plug it in, hold the power button, and press the home button in rapid succession 15 times. Should boot to a charging animation. Let it charge for a while.

Do you have a touchstone, if so leave it on that it is the only thing that has worked for me .

Also, try charging through the USB on a computer for a while... the idea is anything to trickle charge it before it tries to boot up and has no power. Some people let it charge for a min, unplug it, let it sit, and plug it in again, and do it all over.
It will come on eventually...
He's tried all of these. He even opened it up and disconnected/reconnected the battery. He's currently letting it drain completely and try again. It's been almost a week now.
I can't say its Android persay but how your device handles Android. I have 3 TouchPads in my home and frequently they run out of battery and have never had an issue charging. I service about 10 others that belong to friends and not of those has that issue. Its kinda like the ones with wifi and audio issues, the ones with issues almost always have them no matter what version of Android they run. My suggestion, hopefully once you get it running buy a Touchstone and use only that to charge

He has a touchstone and that's how he usually charges. I boot back and forth between android and webos, mostly on webos. He's had his touchpad since May 4, 2012, just out of warranty.

Then you simply have one of those that won't tolerate being completely drained I guess. Getting it back up and going is hit and miss, no concrete steps since each one with this hardware issue is different
Good luck

How long has he left it to charge? and does he have a micro usb cable like for you phone?
He's been alternating between AC, USB trickle, and touchstone for about a week now. Yes he's has a micro USB cable.
I think I'm going to let my battery die and see if I can bring it back.

well, I was able to be active on both webOS and cm9 down to 4%, then it went black. Yes, I got the warnings. So I left it alone for about 10 minutes, then placed on the touchstone and, wala! It started charging. No trickle charge, no a.c charger, just the touchstone. I was at 100% this morning.
