Charging Your Tablet

[Badassforever]

Hey Guys, Just wondering how you charge your touch pad's

Issues I'm having are when I plug the A/C into the touch pad it will boot up, I then use moboot to shut it back down. Sometimes it will charge 100% other times it will only charge to let's say 80% and my time and date will reset.

If I leave it on and just turn the screen off, it will fall into the SOD. It dosent always fall into SOD, sometimes it will be fine. I haven't yet tried to charge it in web0s boot up.

I'm running CM_7.1_XRONified_v3.3.2

How do you charge your tablets?

I charge mine (webOS and CM7 / 9) using the USB to A/C connector and have never had any issues in either operating system.

Running Xron vB2.9, Mine always seems to charge to 100% although I rarely charge it while shut down. I don't get S.O.D anymore but occasionally when I go to unlock it the touchscreen doesn't work and it needs a reset. I also get the problem of the T-Pad booting up if it's turned off and I plug the charger in.

From what a lot of people had said, and I had the same issue. If you're using the stock charger that came with the tablet, and your recharging is getting funky, the USB cable, not the adapter is probably faulty. HP used the lowest quality cable for their charger, my cable must have either loose or broken wiring, because the charging icon kept going on and off, after I replaced the cable, everything was fine.

Good call re the cable.

The one that came with my TP broke after a few months so now I'm using one from my Pre 2 and have had no issues since then.

I use both the cable that came with it and the Touchstone. Mostly the Touchstone. I was on alpha 3.5 until tonight, when I updated to CM9. I'm happy to report that the Touchstone works great under ICS. I've never had a problem with charging to 100% under Android on the TP.

Noticed today that the TP doesn't seem to be charging in CM9. No problem in webOS though.

Install the SystemUI/Charger fix (there's a link at the very bottom of the first post on RootzWiki for CM9), with CMW, and your TP will charge just fine in CM9.
