Question: Other users have said that you can charge from USB, but it charges slowly and it depends if the USB has enough power supplied to it. Have you tried a powered USB slot?

It works charging from usb connected to a car charger or wall charger but not from any ports on my laptop and I really am saying any general user will not have access to something like a high output USB port on their computer. so...yes, I've tried, no it wont work.
Trust me, when it comes to this device, I know a lot lol.

I'm curious now if my custom built desktop has a high output USB port. I'll have to check the specs on my motherboard when I get home.
Ha...
I just posted in the other thread about charging with USB.
Anyways, I've had success charging through a laptop and PC with the NT powered off (screen off maybe enough).
Tested! went to sleep with 25% and woke up to 100% connected to a laptop that was powered on all night, with the NT powered off completely.

If USB charging is anything like the NC I recall discussion about the power output of USB being too low to really charge with gusto. Dunno if this translate to the NC but wouldn't be surprised. Overnight with the NT off? Sounds possible.

NT does support charging via usb ports. It will not tell you it is charging but it actually is.

One point of constructive criticism that I see with a lot of videos:
If you have the ability to mount your camcorder on a tripod or something else so that it isn't moving around, and it keeps both hands free, and the video much more smooth.

Maybe try setting it up behind you somewhere and figure out the field of view with it zoomed in some. Like on another table or something else a little higher. Prop it up and get the angle right and once you figure out the field of view and the correct zoom, it will accomplish the same thing.

have you guys tried using a imac or a macbook... (on a macbook the port closer to the trackpad)
i heard that ever since the first ipad came out, apple gave more power to the usb ports so that you could charge the ipads on them as they also require more power than a standard usb port

For some reason my touchpad no longer will go into USB Mode when I plug in the cable so I can not put the new alpha version onto my TP. Strange thing is the cable (which I just bought) charges it via USB, so I know it's not a connection problem. This symptom is the same for CM and WebOS, except in WeOS it gives the "may not charge" message.
Any way to manual mount the touchpad to transfer files onto it?
On a side note I did a little research and read on WebOS Nation Forums of a few people having this problem in landscape mode, but worked find in portrait mode, but mine sees no difference.
Like many people, you are having a USB power issue. Some cables just will NOT work for your Touchpad. I have only found one cable, other than the original that came with it, that has worked.
Also, if your USB port isn't putting out enough juice, or you have it plugged into a hub instead of an actual singular port, you'll run into problems.
PLus, sometimes a reboot of the computer can clear some of that up.

Thanks for the quick response. Appreciate the tutorials as well. I've heard of the power issues you've talked of but in the brief reading I did all those issues would not charge, or at least not show on the touchpad that it was charging. My Touchpad shows that it is charging, at least in CM it does....

I have one cable that will charge the Touchpad, but will not allow it to connect. It really sucks how much juice these things pull when they are talking to your computer via USB. Hell, I have to unplug my webcam before connecting my Touchpad to my laptop. Do you know how frustrating it is to be making a video, and then realizing that you have to stop recording to plug in your device? I scream about it every time. I also had to eliminate my USB hub. I always use the provided USB cable for anything Touchpad related. I have a car charger that barely trickles 2% over a period of an hour. I did notice that different computers give different results as well. My work computer (which is waaaayyyy better than my home one) handles the Touchpad like a champ. My Home Theater PC does pretty good with it after a reboot, but my laptop struggles EVERY time.

very strange. go figure...my original cable from the get go never made a solid connection i'd have to place the cable in a certain way to get it to stick, now that cable doesn't work at all.

The Tablet uses a microUSB 2.0 connection, all the specifications are listed here:
https://www.gsmarena.com/hp_touchpad-3839.php
Any microUSB 2.0 cable that provides data and charging will work, some from amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Rankie-Micro-Charging-Braided-3-Pack/dp/B01JPDTZXK/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=micro+usb+2.0+data+cable&qid=1603461974&s=electronics&sr=1-3
It can easily be tested with any cable from an Android device that has a microUSB 2.0 connection.
I got my new s and I am liking it somewhat so far. I have a few issues though. First off is Amazon dint give me a us adapter for my charger so I have had to use my pc or PS3 to charge it. Neither of my htc chargers works as I woke up this morning and the phone was almost dead when it should have been charging. The light comes on but nothing happens though I wasn't able to test it while it had booted. This means I was not able to charge the phone when I first received it. I was able to fully charge it today but only with it on. Will this hurt the battery?
The next problem I have is the phone won't start normally after being off and charging. I always have to hold the volume button and the power to get it to work.
Next is the phone seems to get rather hot when surfing the net and when playing a game it gets almost too hot to hold and the games crash.
My next issue is with the keyboard. Is there anyways to get the period on the letter screen. What moron came up with the idea to not have the period there should be fired. I like the default keyboard a lot besides that and would like to keep it.

Usually charging with the ports on your computer or PS3 is a lot slower than just using the wall charger. The only thing I can tell you is make sure that the cable is in all the way.
Also, as a side note, the included USB cable is the worst USB cable I've ever used. That thing fits into the XPERIA so tightly that I have to use a hell lot of force to pull it out.

Try another USB cable they often break. If that doesn't work you can always get a Touchstone and the WiFi file transfer app. That should allow you to keep using the tablet like normal.
The usual HP TouchPad battery drain issues:
-If your battery is heavily drained, then you may need to leave it charging for a full day.
-When the battery is fully drained it can take the TP a longtime to reach even the lowest battery level.
-The USB cable that comes with the HP TP is often defective and breaks easily. Try using another USB cable if possible.
-The USB cable does not transfer enough power to effectively charge the tablet. You must use the wall plug when charging the HP TouchPad.
-To be safe don't let your HP TouchPad run out of Batteries ever! Install one of these free apps!
-You can add an automatic shutdown Rule by doing the following.
-AutomateIt, Play Store Link- What to do: New Rule/Trigger Battery level(Below 20%)/Action/Shutdown//save. Or
-Llama, Play Store Link- Location Profiles:Event tab choose + (at the bottom of the screen) Addcondition (battery Level Below 20%) Actions (turn off phone)

So I was bending over to pull an electrical cord out of the socket behind my entertainment unit, and I used my touchpad (in a case) to support my weight, I didn't realise that I had it cable side down, well just as I grabbed the power cord the usb cable gave way and I thought I had broken my touchpad too.
Anyway, I tried a new cable and it worked fine, these tablets may not be pretty, but they sure are tough.
Hope you have some luck in getting it fixed.

but yeah. maybe i will buy the charger. i like android tablet. but saw the asus transformer t100 tablet with dock keyboard windows 8.1 tablet. 350€ 32gb. but more interested in the 380€ 64gb.
but yeah damn 380€ much but its good for studies and things full windows. but still im gonna want my android tablet.
so i think i will buy one day the charger. but euh, if my battery is empty does touchstone charge it from dead? other wise im ****ed...
Had some problem but solved
Hi reggiexp,
I had the same issue of touchpad not charging. But i used my Nokia lumia charger plugged into TP when it is dead throughout the night and found it 48% charged in the morning after i switched on. When i reconnected the tp when it was on it came to full charge in an hour. Try this.
Please ignore the warning that the USB cable is not genuine which comes when you connect different USB cable.
Hope it helps!
Thought I would post this just in case anyone else is looking for a solution here. Purchased this off Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ES5ZSW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Doesn't cause pop any warnings while charging. Still using the plug that was sent with the touchpad and it is working better than the other one. Feels a little more secure while plugged in.
I'm a big fan of the touchstone.
However I sort of have the opposite problem as both of my Touchstone chargers have quite working. Each at different times. My suspicion is they suffered the same faulty cable fate. Unfortunately I won't be purchasing another as they are to expensive to replace at this point.
my touchpad colects dust now. its i think at 70% battery if not more i turned it of. and put it in a drawer Xd
sucks but yeah. i had a great time with it. was realy a BANG FOR THE BUCK, bust buy i ever made

Just a thought, but if you don't plan on using your Touchpad anymore, you could maybe consider donating it to a developer interested in toying with one? To broaden the support base of those still running this thing lol.
Or wait, so is the USB port dead or not? I thought an earlier post made it seem like it wasn't. Sorry if I misread lol.

Think it needs a new usb connector. But i dont use it. And didnt even try to take it apart. Im way to laxy its a grest tablet. Wantrd to give it to my mom but if it doesnt charge well my mom wont have any use for it.
Found a usb board 16euro +10euro sending. But yeah is it worth it... Will try to take my touchpad apart to see if its realy broken. And maybe repair it so my mom has a tablet again.

Just got the Nexus 9 a couple of days ago, charged it, but when I connected it to the computer, nothing, it's not detected at all. Tried both a Mac and Windows laptop.
I tried a different cable and it works fine with that, just not with the stock HTC cable.
What's going on here? Busted cable? I assume it's not a charge only cable, that wouldn't make much sense. Could it be that the cable doesn't like the USB3 ports?

No luck needed, just a different 99c cable
Just to bring closure to this thread, I contacted HTC and they finally sent me a replacement charger and cable even though I only asked for the cable (not because I didn't already have a pile of USB cables around but because I was curious whether there was something wrong with the HTC cable I received with my N9 or just an incompatibility). The new cable I received works fine for both data and charging. So the cable that came in the box was bad. But to my surprise the new charger I got also works much better, it chargers faster (I have a USB dongle that I can measure the charging current with). The original charger was capable to only charge the N9 but not other devices which I found weird.
So something went really wrong with the included charger and cable. How can it be that you have both a bad charger and cable in the same box? I can see one being bad, but both? Makes me wonder what I should expect from the tablet itself ... Doesn't look like quality is top priority at HTC, no wonder the company is not doing well at all.
I got some old Galaxy Player 5.0 model yp-gb70cw from my friend, and it's not turning On at all. I tried all kind of button combinations after phone was chargered for 3 hours (while charging there were no light indicator that it's getting any power). I even open him up and disconnect the battery and hold power button for minute and reconnect battery but still no life in that phone. Anyone got any idea what can problem be or what to do, I was planning to buy that micro usb jig, maybe that could bring him alive...
Anyone ?
A similar thing happened to my son's player a few months ago. He got an old 500mA usb charger, connected his player with the samsung cord and let it charge overnight. In the morning the player appeared dead. However, he unplugged the charger and held the power button for a few seconds and his player came back to life.

My first question would be: Does the device really fail to boot or is the graphics chip broken, meaning that it boots but doesn't produce any output?
Since a player doesn't have any spinning parts which make noise as soon as you turn it on, it's hard to tell the difference. Can you connect it to a Linux computer and see what the kernel reports it sees? (journalctl -f or dmesg)

In principle, any distro should work, it's just about how to capture the kernel messages. You get part of it via the dmesg command, which you can issue in a terminal but to get the full picture, you have to read the system log, which is either by having a traditional syslog server running, like syslog-ng or rsyslog, or using systemd's log utility journalctl. Here, the easiest way of following the messages is by issuing the command "journalctl -f" in a terminal. Ultimately it really depends what logging facility the live distro offers.

I have two 5.0 players that the usb port no longer works for anything. They do not charge, nor do they recognise any charger or computer.
I would say open it back up and use a multimeter/voltmeter and check the battery to see if it has any kind of charge. Chances are it does not due to a bad usb port by the sounds. If it's not taking a charge it's not going to do anything. Do the battery check and maybe I can help you from there if your willing to frankenstien your player.
By the way I still use both my 5.0 players all the time. Just had to rig them up so they could take a charge. Thay still work fine aside from not having usb capabilites.

If it's not taking a charge it's not going to do anything. Do the battery check and maybe I can help you from there if your willing to frankenstien your player.
By the way I still use both my 5.0 players all the time. Just had to rig them up so they could take a charge. Thay still work fine aside from not having usb capabilites.

the plastic tab that holds the battery pulls straight up. Use a fine tiped multimeter set on DC voltage and touch the probes to the two outer pins of the battery. If your multimeter is digital you will get a reading even if positive and negative are wrong, it will just read in the negative if backwards. If your meter is old school needle and you have the poles swapped you will see the needle go backwards, in which case just reverse the probes. This is all provided there is at least a small charge remaining in the battery. Positive wires are usually red, negative usually black but can also be blue, green or brown. I will look for my photo's of the 5.0 innards a little later on tonight for you.
If I remember correctly you need more then 3.2 volts for your player to boot up if it's going to.

I measure 4.070V but phone is still dead, won't power up.
yahya69 may be right, maybe the graphics chip is bad. Maybe the screen is shot. IDK. Make sure you are using an official samsung USB cable to connect.
