I have Android installed on my touchpad and now it seems that the volume rocker is broke. It was jammed so that it kept lowering the volume. I managed to get it in its normal position but the actual button under the rocker is stuck. So now I have to send it to HP.
My question is that since this button is stuck will acmeuninstaller still work? And if it does is there a way to boot into WebOS once its done? Because the Touchpad gives me a message to release the buttons at boot but then Moboot loads. Thanks for the help.

I haven't tried this but does a bluetooth keyboard work during boot loader? Just throwing it out there...

Not too sure. I don't own a bluetooth keyboard

I just tried no go. It was a long shot anyways. Acme is run from the USB prompt anyways. Have you tried to get to the USB loader? (Turn off touch pad hold down power and volume up). If you can get there you are golden

Thanks. I'll give that a try as soon as I get home. I'm just afraid of messing something up so bad that HP wont fix the touchpad and I would be out of a touchpad. I'd rather deal with the issue of not having sound then to be with no touchpad.
But I will definitely try that. Thanks!

Hey so I was using flash to watch something on Amazon Instant Videos and then it froze up and when I pressed the back or home button, the tablet froze completely and the screen just went black. I don't know what's happening because I can still hear the video. When I try to press the power/lock button, nothing happens and the screen stays off. Is there any way I can fix this or make it power off by itself?

Hold the volume up button and power button down at the same time for a few seconds until screen goes blank.

there should be a reset button on it, bottom left i think, it's mentioned in one of the papers that came with the tablet
Well it eventually restarted after me pressing the power button a million times.

glad you got it working. some apps aren't updated yet for this version of honeycomb or tegra3. sometimes they go on the Fritz. Google earth did that to me. after a while zooming in and out, it froze up on me n basically same thing happened to me. ended up rebooting the prime.
a fresh reboot, power off then back on again, wouldn't hurt. might get rid of some kinks or end a process that might've causing issues.
Anyone have any idea how to factory reset if I can't see the screen?

Have you tried a manual reboot? Hold power + volume down till the prime reboots.
Are you sure it's even powered on? heh j/k, had to say it.
If it's unresponsive and manual rebooting doesn't work, there's always waiting for battery to die. In my experience, Android seems to reboot itself after a while when there are freezing issues...
When I hold the power down it will vibrate every 10 seconds as if im cold booting it, and if I don't hold it down and wait for it to boot I can essentially unlock it and shut it down since I know where on the screen to press for shutdown. I know its shutting down cause after i press on the screen where shutdown button is, a few seconds later itll vibrate. So I'm pretty sure its the screen.
I remember reading somewhere here you can factory reset by holding down volume down then power button. And wait a few seconds realease them then either I leave it alone or press up or down volume and it will factory reset. I just don't remember the sequence. Anyone else remember? I think maybe juniriders recommendation will work.

Once it does cut back on, uninstall Google chrome browser immediately if you have it. Others that had same issue also just recently installed that app. They uninstalled it and device behaves normal again. Worth a shot if you do in fact have it installed.
Thanks for the input guys. Ill try the power + volume to factory reset. If its still wont come back on I assume its a screen issue.

Are You trying the reset button?
I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. HDMI TO TV! So I was right that it is the screen issue cause I can see everything on the TV. Gonna back it up, factory reset and see if I can get it exchanged.

hi guys i really need ur help. To day i went to school and used the tablet with the dock normally and i also type some notes...however when i went home, i disconnected them and i put them back together....and all of a sudden the dock stopped working.

Strange, have you tried rebooting to see if maybe it's just something caught up in the OS?
Indeed, Stange, does the dock still supply power ?

Had something similar recently but as fast as it appeared it was gone again
Same happened to me, I sent it in for RMA to asus a week or two ago, and still havent got it back :l
happened to me today reboot sorted it
new fterlau
Had same issue, need to reboot a few times, sorted itself out, why? I have no idea
You would be surprised what a cold boot will fix. That and wiping the cache and dalvik. If my tablet starts acting quirky, those are the first steps I'll take to solve the issues.

That's what happened with me, thankfully the people down at ASUS love us.
I have the same issue once in a while, its rare but it happens. Cold boot usually does the trick. Good luck!

My dock freezes my pad occasionally I'm on stock 4.2 not rooted. The problem afaik is either when i close the lid or when both batteries are at about 50% the pad works fine w/o dock but whenever i have the dock attached its either slow as syrup or frozen so I'll have to do a cold boot.
There is no problem when both pad and dock is fully charged but when they start getting depleted the problems as described starts occuring.
any ideas?
I tried to enter recovery on my one, I have entered "safe mode" by accident a few times. What is it and will this be useful to somebody else?

It's a way to start your phone without allowing any third party apps to load up on boot. A way to disable or remove one that might be causing issues when you start up.

You can manually get into Safe Mode by holding the Power Off option when it comes up. Hold power switch until the menu comes up, then long hold the "Power Off" option.
Sorry. It was a little self serving posting this. I was hoping it would lead to something big. I don't remember my ruby, Xoom, g2x or any of my other past devices doing this.

I remember it from my HD2, but I don't recall how to invoke it.
It is useful if your phone gets messed up and you need to uninstall something.
Hello, my DNA was in my pocket in a case, when I pulled it from my pocket the phone is in a boot loop. The phone hasn't been rooted or anything. I have pressed the volume down button, but when the phone gets to menu I can't choose any options before boot looping again. Any suggestions for trying to fix it? I appreciate any input. Thanks.
