Hi everyone. I've researched this problem a bit, but still am getting problems.
I have the latest Nighties of CM9 and 2 STOCK HP Touchpad Chargers. When I leave CM9 booted up, while plugged in, it just drains... more of a trickle charge drain... I leave it on 100% all day, and come back to it on 0%, but holding a charge cause it's plugged in.
I have to reboot it, have it on the red battery icon until it boots up into Moboot, and then boot into WebOS to have it charge. I've tried to twist the charger that plugs in to the socket to ensure it's tight and that's good. I've even bought a new touchpad charger in case the original one was messed up. so I've tried 2 chargers.
CM9 just continues to drain. It's at the point where I don't even use CM9 anymore. Anyone have any suggestions about this?

Usually when this happens I just replug the wire in and out from the TouchPad then observer the battery. If it increases good, if not I will just have to replug.
Have you tried charging to 100% then wiping battery stats then letting it fully drain till it dies? I re calibrate my battery every time i flash a new rom.
I haven't tried the unplugging method. I guess I'll give it a whirl. Quite lame though if thats it!

Yup. Did this numerous times.
Fully draining a lithium battery is very bad for it, avoid doing this. Fwiw I've never 'recalibrated' my battery and have had no problems with the accuracy of the meter.
To the op, if WebOS charges fine then there's no problem with your connections so that at least is one thing you can tick off the list.
try doctor it back to default webos only. it shud do fine.
I haven't had this problem with my Touchstone. I'm running CM9 5/22 and it charges to 100%.

This is a known problem with CM9
If you reboot with the charger plugged in it will not charge in Android you have to reboot then plug in the charger when you are at the home screen. This problem does not affect the touchstone charger which will charge the TouchPad no matter what OS you are running

There are safety measures built in to lithium ion batteries so that you don't damage the battery by discharging it. Basically the 0% it displays is not actually 0% but a bit higher.
Will Touchstone work with broken USB jack?
My Touchpad has stopped charging using the regular USB charger. At first, I suspected the cable was flaky since I had to hold it just right and then it would disconnect. I replaced the cable with a generic one and it worked great... solid charging while plugged in.
Today, I noticed that the TP was not charging with the cable plugged in. I have snagged the cable a couple of times and ripped it out of the Touchpad. It is possible that I might have damaged the internal connectors of the USB jack.
Will the Touchpad charge with a Touchstone Charging Dock if the USB jack is broken?

Hi, does the touchstone charges the touchpad while is OFF, or do you have to have the touchpad ON for the touchstone to work?

Has anyone else had this problem? I plug my Photon into a USB power adapter plugged into my car's cigarette lighter and the phone displays the message that the device is charging but the percent of charge continues to decline. I have changed USB adapters and USB cables but it still happens. If I use an AC adapter and the same USB cable the phone charges correctly.
Is it a software or hardware problem? I was unlocked and rooted using several of the current custom ROMs and the charging process in the car worked then. When I re-locked and went back to stock and re-rooted then this happened.
i am having the same issue as of yesterday. Did you ever find out what the issue was?
im guessing that the car was off and that it was a foreign car...
Numerous issue could actually cause the same symptoms, Apps/games in the background... failing alternator, failing cigarette lighter, failing car adapter...
car not running while its charging could also cause this issue depending on charge level of the battery and the volts of the battery...
What you'll need to do is eliminate the possibilities..
Try with the car on and the phone on...
try with the car on and the phone off...
try with a different adapter for the car...
try with a different usb cord...
try with a magnum 44 aimed at it...
Try with a different Car is also another good option.
Ditto.
I am having the same problem.....worked fine before I unlocked/rooted. Anyone else have a suggestion?
I have the same issue with the incar charger and using a computers usb port to charge my phone..(doesnt charge when under load ..ie-dowloading something)...i think that it is the charger being underpowered..example..
Stock a/c charger puts out 850mA
Most computer usb and standard car usb chargers only put out around 500mA
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Mine charges very slowly in the car. The other day, I plugged in at 32%. Drove 30 minutes to get home, and it had only reached 37%. Plugged in at home, and within 10 minutes had well over 50%, even though I was actively using it then.
This is on stock rooted, btw.
The stock drivers must use a very conservative power draw when plugged into a relatively low-output power source. By contrast, the power draw from a high-output AC adapter must be quite aggressive, because it charges more quickly than other phones I've used when plugged into AC.
It did turn out to be caused by the car charger being underpowered. I went to BestBuy and bought a "high capacity" charger and all is good!

Which specific car charger did you get? I'm having the same problem too!
The Photon needs at least 850mA charger to get charge currently. Otherwise it charge slowly or not charge at all.
Can anyone post a link to a specific charger that is working great for you and charging fast while in the car?
has any one who got charger working ? can anyone pls post the link to product
thanks in advance

Hi,
I've installed CM9, alpha 3.5 on my touchpad. Everything seemed to work fine for a couple of hours, then the battery died. Plugged it into my PC (using the original cable that came with the device), and it doesn't seem to charge (it might charge agonizingly slow).
It's been plugged for about 1 hour today (tried charging it yesterday for about 1.5 hours too), and I can't even turn on the device.
I am aware that this was a known problem with the earlier builds, but I can't find anything regarding the 3.5 alpha.
Can anyone help?
Firstly, Alpha 3.5 is CM7, not CM9 - just FYI. CM9 is on Alpha2 and multiple Daily Builds from Eyeballer.
Secondly, I noticed that issue sometimes myself with the TP - it wouldn't charge properly, even with the right cable into the PC. What I ended up doing was charging it with the cable and wall wart that came with the TP, until it would boot, then booted it into WebOS and charged it the rest of the way. Then, once you're into WebOS, it'll charge a lot faster that way.
If that doesn't work, what I've had to do is spend half an hour or so with a different cable, plugging in and unplugging, getting just a trickle of power in at a time, plug and unplug, until it had enough juice in it to boot (and not show me that battery and "Use the proper cable" error). Once it got enough power to boot, I could boot into CM and charge with the non-standard cable, or WebOS and charge fast with the provided one.
One thing you might wanna try is plugging the cable directly into a different USB plug - some plugs don't like my TP cable on my desktop, others do. Also, don't use a hub or extension cable, either.
Then, you might wanna consider reading the RootzWiki page on how to install CM9 from CM7 (using AcmeInstaller2) and upgrading to CM9. It's extremely stable, for the most part, and all that doesn't work is Camera and Mic, which is the same from CM7. It's also much more optimized for the tablet, as opposed to pretending to be a phone.
Hope that idea helps, mate.
Yeah, I mixed up the versions. Meant alpha 2.

That did the trick alright.
Thanks!
Does that mean I'll have to boot into WebOS to charge the touchpad?
Sometimes, it acts like that. Boot into WebOS and charge it completely, from the wall wart, and then unplug it, boot back into CM9, and try plugging it in while using it - if it still stays charged, then you're good.

No. It means you have to plug it into the charger that came with it and not into a PC. The PC doesn't furnish enough amprege to charge the TP. In fact, the TP has a sensor to tell if its plugged into a PC that puts it into "slow charge" mode to keep from damaging the PC's USB Port.
However, there is a known bug in CM9 that, once in a rare while, if you let the battery run down too far, puts the TP in "slow charge" mode, even when it's plugged into the wall charger. That is when you need to boot into webOS and charge it. But then it should start charging again in CM9.
Thanks for that, Lewmur. I knew the bug was there, but wasn't aware of all the specifics.
Hello XDA,
I'm not sure how this happened, but for the past couple of months I haven't been able to charge my phone while it is turned on. It shows the charging animation but the battery still drains, even with all radios off and screen off. I can leave it charging all night and end up with a nearly flat battery. Plugging it in to any wall socket seems to only slow the draining, and plugging it in to a fully powered USB socket (many tried) keeps it at the same battery level, or very slowly charges it if I don't use it. If I turn it off however, I can charge it until full in the normal time with the original AC charger.
Here's the really strange part: I've tried several new chargers of different brands including samsung and it makes no difference. Not only that, but they won't charge it when powered off either making them completely ineffective. It doesn't initialize the charge properly - the screen either shows a battery with a progress circle over and over again without getting to the charging animation, or displays the charging animation over and over and never charges at all, but nevertheless gets hot.
The chargers I've tried are:
Cygnet for samsung phones including SGS-II
Belkin for Samsung phones including SGS-II
Premium blackberry travel charger
Premium 10W 2A Samsung travel adaptor
One charger that did seem to work while plugged in was from a new Sony Xperia Windows phone charger I borrowed once.
I've exchanged at the store 3 times now with the same result! It must be something wrong with the hardware or software...
I've calibrated the battery, I've had a new battery for a couple of months and normally still lasts all day and more on a full charge. It is a 3rd party high quality Anker battery. The problem is the battery is getting a lot more taxed now that I'm using 3G over the portable hotspot, so its not quite lasting the day anymore.
I've had countless custom ROMs on there now, current ROM is CyanogenMod 10.1 stable. Would returning to stock then reinstalling help?
Something that shouldn't matter is I've moved from the UK to Australia. I'm still using the English charger as its the only one that works. And the Xperia charger that seemed to work was Australian too.
Before it got this bad I think it was getting slower and slower to charge. I had to replace the old USB cable that eventually got really loose, then broke and i've tried several new ones with no improvement in charging ability. Is it possible that the contacts inside the micro-USB socket might have been bent from the old cable moving around so much so that only minimal contact is achieved with any other cable? The new connectors do seem to fit perfectly.
In the attached screenshot, you will see on the left the AC charger is plugged in while battery level goes down, then on the far right its plugged in to a computer and is kept level.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

IMO, u should revert back to a stock samsung Firmware (pertained to ur region) and then see if the issue persists or not to rule out any possible 'Software issue' in the first place
Thank you, I will try that and report back the results.

So my crappy OEM charge cable finally broke. The charger is still fine, but am I now stuck on trickle charge only using a regular micro usb cable? Any other options or rom solutions that will force normal charge using a regular micro usb cable?
Thanks,
Sorry I don't have a solution to your problem, I myself haven't found any USB cable other than the OEM that won't trickle charge regardless of roms.
Your signature shows you're using CM10.
Before the OEM cable crapped out, were you able to charge it normally?
While using the tablet with the wall charger, the battery % goes up and not down?
Reason I'm asking is because when I use any CM10+ roms, I'm always stuck on with trickle charge.
The tablet thinks its trickle charging from USB and just slow drains away until it's dead.
Only way for me to charge it when it dies is to turn it off and leave it charging over night, all night long.
I know it's not the OEM wall charger and OEM cable.
I've went back to stock Nook, CM7/CM9 and the charger/cable works perfectly fine.
So that leaves either something is wrong with these CM10+ roms, or my Nook Table is a special case...

Yes, the OEM charger / OEM cable was charging fine on CM10. Trickle charge works overnight, but the way to speed things up a bit is, if the nook is fully discharged, plug it in and let it trickle till it boots, then turn it on, have it boot and shut screen off and leave it to charge. When the nook is 'on' but asleep, it trickle charges faster than a dead nook hooked up to a regular usb.
You are saying that a regular micro usb was charging quickly under cm7/9 and stock roms?

Hi
It has been a few days that i have faced a weird problem with my phone.
My phone suddenly stopped charging with fast chargers and only works with super fast chargers.
When connected to any charger other than super fast charger, the charge drops instead of rising. When i connect a super fast charger, it charges fine. But sometimes gets 95% and some times gets 100%. If i reconnect the superfast charger, the phone wont even show charging. Must switch to normal charger or wireless charger and switch back to super fast charger in order for it to work.
Being on or off does not affect the results.
Wireless charging works fine.
Due to the conflicting results, I can not guess the cause of the problem.
Whether the problem is from the battery, Main board, charging socket, or software or malware, i cant figure it out.
Any suggestions?
Best I can suggest is clean your type c port with a sewing needle. These ports get trash in them everyday very easily then packed in.
The bottoms of these ports are metal not plastic. Shiny silver metal. If it's dark black or anything other. Its dirty and your cord is not being inserted all the way due to the trash compacted in. I have seen this on a regular basis and 9 out of 10 times this is the cause

Hello
Unfortunately, I have found no solution for this. I have sent the phone to service center. Since they have not said anything yet, i guess it is not a software or even a known problem. It is definitely a serious hardware problem.
I am having the exact same issue here as well. I plug it into a normal charger and the battery continues to drain. A lightening charger is the only thing giving it juice.

Well if factory resetting does not solve the problem, don't waste your time for a solution. It is a faulty hardware. Go to Samsung service center instead. The will probably replace the motherboard or the phone.
