I have the HP touchpad running CM9 Alpha2 and everything works great except when I reboot. I hold the power key in, the menu comes up, and if I select "power down", the pad still reboots. The only way to shut it down is to manually select "shut down" from the CM menu as it fresh boots. Both the "reboot" and "shut down" options while in CM9 result in the same reboot of Clockworkmod.
Is there a switch/toggle setting I can chance to make this thing shut down when I select shut down.
Do you have it plugged in when you shut it down? If its plugged in it will just start up again.
Yea, I really only get that bug anymore when it's plugged in. It maybe happens once every 20 shutdowns when it's not plugged in. You can try re-wiping and re-flashing, but that likely won't help that since pretty much everyone has this bug.
I would usually only get the reboot if I left wifi on before shutting down. If I turned wifi off first, it would shut down and stay off.
That's weird. I've never gotten a reboot when turning it off. All I know is that with clockworkmod installed, if you turn your device off when plugged in, it reboots into clockwork recovery. It does this with phones too. I think its supposed to do this in case you cant boot up and you need to restore or something. Other than that, I havent noticed it rebooting in any other scenario.

You know the old saying. "This is a feature and not a bug." I use a Touchstone to charge mine and either way, if the TP is already on the TS, or if I place on the TS after I shutdown, it will reboot to the moboot menu. I then use that menu to select "Shutdown" and it will stay off. I have been in this forum for several months and I have yet to see any other solution.
I had this all of the time with A2. With the past few official nightlies, this seems to have been fixed.
Thanks to all who replied.
Yes, I generally leave it plugged in...so that's the issue.
Guess I should thank HP for such a wonderful feature.
Anyway, I will either unplug it, or most likely just do the shut down from the menu.
thanks again.

I use Quick Boot to power off. I was having a 75 to 85% drop in the battery after setting it aside for a day or too.
The Quick Boot power Off fixed it.

For some reason I can't shut my touchpad down. If I hold the power button down, not much happens until I release the button. Then the screen turns off. Tap it again and it's back.
Any ideas?
thats strange try a hard reset, hold the power button and the home button down for literally a minute or so or until it resets. it will reboot into moboot hopefully. you might have to do that and go back into webos to completely shut down. good luck
Thanks for the reply, I was just trying it when the battery ran out!
But I'll give it a go if the problem returns, thanks.
Ran into the same problem today. The power menu, along with various power/reboot widgets wouldn't work, but after about 20 seconds of holding home+power it worked and booted to moboot.
I had this happen to a coworker, after I had recently upgraded her to alpha3. I tried everything to repair it before deciding to start from scratch. The best thing to do is restart using the power and home buttons (hold them until reboot).
Then think about reinstalling.
Good luck!

I had this same issue today. I downloaded Quick Boot from the app store and it allowed me to restart. Worked great
just happened me too, it MAY have something to do with low battery, i noticed someone above had the problem with low battery. mine happens to be low too
also, i turned off lockscreen earlier, maybe that was related.
So I used my nook tablet all day yesterday and this morning. I put it down to goto lunch.. came back and noticed my wifi was not on.. I checked settings and it showed "Wifi turning off" and it was grayed out and just stuck.
I've seen this before with other android devices so no biggie. I powered the unit off.
Now it won't turn back on. Holding the power button now for about 20 secs and nothing.
The battery is at like 80% and I even plugged it in to see if it helped but no good.
I did root it at 1.4.0 and used the Block OTA method with titanium backup but nobody else seems to have a problem.
Is there a way to boot in recovery or something ? Perhaps a trip back to B&N will be needed.
Ok.. holding vol down + power for around 8 secs got it back on. Weird
i have noticed this a few times. Not sure why but never lost anything

His happened to me once and I don't know what I did to get it back on. Glad that I now know, thanks.

I had a similar problem. I couldn't get the tablet to turn on. I discovered in a Kindle Fire forum that you could get the Fire to start when stuck in the off position by holding down the power button for 20 seconds. I tried that with my Nook and it started right up.
Thank! That worked! I was having the same issue. Said Wifi was turning off and all went blank and couldn't reboot. You gave me the answer.
Cheers.
I have had the wifi "turning off" issue. Rather than turn off the nook, I used the menu that you get with a long press of the power button when you install either ROM manager or titanium backup, can't remember which. It has rebooted every time without issue.
The Wifi issue is a known problem. You can set the wifi to stay awake when on the charger and this problem wont happen. Add the power widget so that you can turn the wifi off when not connectwd to the charger. This combo fixes the wifi issue. When your Nook experiences a kernel error it will appear as if it is off but if you hold it at angle, you will notice backlight is on. Just hold nook button and power and it will turn off...then power to reboot rom.

Actually, it's happened to me twice while I had WiFi set to never sleep when charging.
Moved To Q&A
We now have a Q&A section. Please post all questions there
I rooted my Nook Tablet and it worked fine yesterday. Now it won't turn on and isn't recognized by my PC. I hear the windows alert when a usb device is connected but when I try to do anything via adb I always get 'error: device not found'.
I tried doing adb get-state and all I got was 'unknown'
I tried booting into recovery via holding the power button + n for various amounts of time, but nothing happened.
Does anyone have any ideas? It was working fine yesterday and I haven't changed anything on it since I used it last.
Hold the power button down for about 10 seconds. let it sit for a minute, then hold the power button for another 5 seconds or so and release. It should boot up. (assuming your battery is charged)

I had to do a reset (power button + Home) twice so far. Each time it happened after I left the tablet to recharge overnight. It did not turn on as it normally does when you unplug the charger.
I must admit that the (power button + Home) reset does not seem to be cut & dry. The routine quoted above worked the first time. The second time, I tried it several times then finally I tried the pwr button by itself and it went on.
Mine just did this Power and vol down got it running again.
I am running the latest stock build and my phone will randomly reboot itself.
The bottom buttons flash as if I'm holding down on the power button.
I am unsure if this correlates with my sim card errors either, but tis quite annoying.
I tried to press home button last time this happened, and got a screenshot reading:
"TO RESTART YOUR PHONE, CONTINUE TO PRESS AND HOLD THE POWER BUTTON FOR 2 SECONDS"
So I'm wondering if anyone with a otterbox case is experiencing this too.
I even went as far as to take the top of the case off, and the countdown timer paused at 1 for a few seconds and proceeded to restart anyway

Saw this a couple times. In both cases it turned out to be a hardware problem, bad power switch.
That's what it sound like to me too.

Hi all, as the title suggests, what once worked for me and im sure most of you no longer works for me.
I press the power button to get the menu. airplane mode, screen shot etc all work but when i press the option to power off nothing happens.
If i hold it down for a few seconds to get safe mode, this does work but instead reboots into safe mode which isnt what im after.
The only work around i have found is to remove my sim card which initiates a reboot.
Its not critical but not sure why all of a sudden this no longer works for me. Any ideas?
Only thing I can think of is to make sure that quick boot isn't ticked in developer options, on mine with that option unticked the phone powers off fine but when quick boot is ticked & you press the power button then tap power off it nothing happens other than the power menu vanishing.

I was starting to pull my hair out from frustration and you've saved me from going bald lol. Thanks heaps, your advice was spot on

Your welcome mate, glad you got it sorted
Another thing to keep in mind in the future is if you have a hard crash, you can force power-off/reboot if you hold volume up + power or press the little red button next to the sim-card tray.
So I had the OTA update for 5.1.1 the other day and thought "yay, let's update." it worked fine till this evening where it crashed to a power off state and in now showing the Google logo like it's about to load up and then a turned off screen.
This repeats over and over I can't even stop this loop.
Holding the power button and it just continues to loop.
Power + ANY volume button and it will show the HBOOT or fastboot menu then before I can select anything turn to the powered off state and loop through (if I'm still holding the buttons the menu will show again shortly, or go back to the Google logo)
Any ideas for a solution?
try waiting until the battery drains all the way down then hold the volume down button and plug it in. if that doesn't work then all you can do is contact google support and they'll probably replace or fix it.
Hold the power button down for 20 seconds 3 times. It helped me once with a similar situation
So I have found a solution. Instead of deleting the thread I'll leave this here unless anyone else has this problem.
It seems that trying to enter the fastboot menu when plugged into a USB seemed to work.
It was either the fact it was in the computer, the timing I pressed the "power button + power down" combo, or it had just looped enough times and decided to actually stop interrupting me using the fastboot menu.
Either way, I cleared the cache partition using the recovery and it booted up fine.
EDIT: Thanks for the help, I had tried holding the combo for a long period of time (multiple loops of the booting). I also feared letting it drain in case it refused to startup again and I would have no chance of fixing it.
glad you figured that out! android can be mysterious sometimes. especially when it's on the nexus 9.
