[Q] Touchpad not responsive with JCSullins 10-3 nightly - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I finally decided to give Android a go on my two touchpads, and loaded the 10.3.14 CM 11 nightly build.. installed via the Touchpad Toolbox.
The short: My 16GB model with just stock software seems to be okay. I charged it to full using a cable after the installation, and haven't done much with it since. I'm hesitant, because of how my 32GB is behaving. The 32GB model seemed to be fine, initially. I installed the Dolphin browser along with Adobe Flash, and some other apps which I have installed on my phone. I used the 32GB for a while after installation, then set it on a Touchstone over night to charge. In the morning, it was completely unresponsive. The only sign of life is a solid white (not flashing or flashing back and forth) Home button which stays lit for 4-5 seconds after any sort of attempt at activity (plugging in the charging cable or attempting to turn it on via the power button).
I did a complete data wipe, and a reflash of the charging chip, using the Touchpad Toolbox, prior to the installation on each Touchpad.
edit: I did charge it for an additional night using a cable after the problem was known.. no change.
Any ideas?

I've noticed the same. When it gets in that unresponsive state you can hard reset it to force a reboot, by pressing the power + home until the HP symbol shows up. ~2 - 3 secs.
I'm running @jcsullins CM11. It is very solid otherwise. I suspect it is the new daydream mode!

Thanks for the reply. I wasn't sure about the implications of Home + Reset, so I hadn't tried it. It worked for hard reset on the second try. Now to look up daydream mode..

[Q] touchpad CM9 a0.5 switch on issue

Dear all, I just update my touchpad form CM7 A3.5 to CM9 A0.5.
After updating, comes the switch on problem, the details as blow:
In CM7 A3.5 system, I can shut down and switch on the touchpad with power button as normal, it also means the power button works.
When I update to CM9 A0.5(the updating is successful), I found USB connect problem, so I want to restart touchpad to solve it. As we know, in CM9 system, when press the power button, only shut down selection. So I shut down touchpad. When I press the power button to restart touchpad again, there is no response. the touchpad did nothing. even press main button and power button together. I do not know what happened.
Update: the most probably caused this is I use plustoolbox to change the boot animations.
Is this only a special case? Or could be my failure.
Update information:
After keep my touchpad after 20 hours, I try to switch on it again, the power button works, but just show low battery(by last shut down, it should be 50% battery left), so I charger it. After a while, touchpad started and gone into CM9 system and works.But when I shut down again, the touchpad can not switch on again. I do not know this time I should wait how long time then it can work again.

You can force a restart by holding the power and center buttons together for 30 seconds.
Thank you for replying.
I have tried but failed.
now the second round is
In shut down status, after 24 hours, the battery can from 100% reduce to low battery.
In this status, I can charger and start touchpad.

I'm not currently using the ICS build, but I would then suggest doing a complete reinstall of CM9 through acme installer. Make sure to uninstall the current build that you have on their.

Can you see Moboot menu when it turns on ? If yes it is working good in Dual booting if not please reinstall moboot,cwm and cm9 using ACME installer 2

Question. I bricked my touch pad.

I bricked my touchpad.
First I installed cm7 alpha 3.5
It seemed working fine except wifi.
It got connected but once I rebooted it, it dropped the signal.
It ketp scanning the wifi signal so I just decided to install cm9.
I downloaded cm9 and put it in a folder named install.
I booted into clockworkmod and wiped data and all caches and flashed it.
Guess what?
I rebooted and the screen is just black.
I can see there is backlight but nothing comes up on the screen.
I just let the battery drain for a couple of days, and charged it.
still same thing. nothing comes on. Charge battery sign came on after I drained the battery before I plugged the charging cable in.
home button + volume button + power button = does not work.
What should I do?
My PC does not even read it when I connect it with USB.
I need help from you guys.
Firstly, I know exactly where you ran into your problem. You ran the upgrade from CM7 to CM9 from CWM. It explicitly states it in the instructions that you are NOT supposed to do that.
So, what I would do, if I were you, is try the following:
From when it's on, press and hold Power + VolUp, then hit the Home button 10x in fast succession. Then let everything go until the the screen shuts off. From there, press and hold Power + VolUP, you SHOULD end up with the big glowing USB symbol. This is where you wanna be. If you can get there, then you can run the AcmeUNInstaller, and remove the CM7 and CM9 install stuff. From there, you reboot into WebOS, and put the CM9 install stuff into the /media/cminstall folder, and try to run AcmeInstaller2 (very important to use 2, not just Installer). That'll allow you to install CM9.
If you can't do that, there's a thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426244 that shows how to completely remove Android from your Touchpad, restore it to WebOS 3.0.0, and then upgrade from there. It's the best option, I think, if you can't get the AcmeUninstaller to work.
Hope that helps, mate.
Thank you.
I will try it and post.
Thanks a lot..
hopefully everything goes well...
It worked
I unstalled cm7 and other related files.
Thanks a lot!!!

Is this strange Hp touchpad behaviour.

Hi guys, today noticed some strange issue with my touchpad. When i tried to turn on my TP it didn't respond, after few tries i took brake, when tried again used all possible combination of buttons to check if its power bricked. On holding power button + home combination after few sec it finally showed boot screen and it turned android on.
My battery was on 85% but still it gave my trouble to turn him on.
Is it normal thing or should be better to clear my TP and install Android from scratch?
Im on CM9 last nightly build with new kernel from Shumash.

Sometimes i have to hold the power with or without the home button for 30 seconds but not very often.

Following this guide, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426244
Will completely turn the TP back to original. It's kind of a PITA, but it works. Read the whole thing and if you have problems with novaterm, there's a work around on page 12.

[Q] Nook HD+ won't turn on but backlight does

Hi all,
We got our Nook HD+ on Wednesday. I was intending to root it and install CM 10.1 but haven't even got that far before problems have started. I thought I'd post this just in case anyone else had the same problem. When the problem first started, it still should have had plenty of charge left. I had been using it to read a book and play a game earlier in the day. I turned it off after use; now it won't boot back up again. The backlight seems to come on for a few seconds but then goes off. Holding Power and 'n' does nothing except turn the backlight on as previously mentioned.
We have not modded this device in anyway, neither is there a micro-SD card in the device. It is now fully charged but still presenting the same issue.
If anyone has come across this before, or knows another way to do a hard reset, please let me know.
Thanks, Peter
Let it charging for a while then try what you did again.

Did you try holding the power button for like 15 seconds, releasing and then briefly hold the power button? If you hold it too long, it turns itself back off.
If you tried that and are sure it is charged and it does not turn on, it is a hardware issue and it is time for a warranty exchange at the B&N store.

Had a similar issue the first time... Power it on... Plug the charger, leave it with the screen looking like this and wait 20 minutes. Reboot and check if it boots properly. If not, try rebooting by holding the power button and the volume buttons simultaneously...

Thanks. I went on the Nook UK support chat and they couldn't instruct me to get it started again. It's been returned and hopefully our replacement will be on the way soon. Possible hardware fault was the suggestion.

Factory Reset issues

Hi all,
Putting up this post because I am at my wits end! I have had my Galaxy Tab S2 now for about a month. Just recently I would be using it and it would seem to start lagging a bit, and then without warning it would basically either power cycle, or just freeze and power off. Upon restarting, everything would go as per normal, and then after a few minutes it would happen again.
Went through the process of backing everything up so I could factory reset. This was a strange experience. The files would begin transferring to the backup media, and then the process would freeze, and the power cycle happen again. What made it strange was that if I kept touching the screen, the transfer would continue. Leave it to its own devices and it would freeze and power down or power cycle. Anyways, managed to get what I could off it. On to a factory reset.
Ensuring it was off, I pressed the power and volume up buttons, ending up with a screen with the android robot. Then it shows a screen with the android robot on its side and an exclamation mark above it. Finally to the recovery screen. Here things got a bit hinky too. I would use the volume up/down keys to move through the options available, and then found that the up/down buttons became unresponsive. Frustrated I touched the screen a couple of times and what do you know, the selected choice would move according to what volume button pressed. OK that's weird, and what do you know, after a while it reboots irregardless of choice.
Finally managed to get it to factory reset, wipe everything and on start launch into the setup procedure. "Yay" thought I, "Nay" thought the tablet. Now i'm stuck with a tablet that gets about halfway through the process, freezes, then reboots or powers off. Thing is, it ALWAYS seems to happen at a point in which keyboard interaction is required. I get about halfway through typing my name and snap.
So yeah I have no idea. I'm thinking it could have something to do with battery, however, this all still occurs even if it is plugged into a source. So before I go about trying to work out how to get the back off, I thought I would ask for some advice here!
Seriously, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Chyr0n
Get a new one.

Yeah, it's new and is not rooted. Why not going thru warranty and get a new one?
