Charging issue
So I had JB installed. I plugged my touchpad in and it registered as charging last night. Woke up with 0 battery. So in other words, it wasn't actually charging. Now my touchpad won't turn on at all. I get the plug that says unauthorized charger that everyone just loves!
Don't use this ROM!! If devs can read this, take off the link until that problem is fixed. Now I won't be able to use this for at least 24 hours...

Well, I don't know about everybody... But I don't have my original charger, so I use an extra charge block from an older Palm Pre... These are apparently lower in output amperage and when the unit is completely off will by default give a message about using the correct charger, but it does indeed charge although slowly, this message has nothing to do with the flashing as it did this bare stock... HOWEVER, after flashing this CM10 ROM I too woke up to mine being completely dead even though it was plugged in all night... The ROM was running great the little bit I had to play with it so far... I did not have this issue with the CM9 ROM, but can't help thinking that this not using the correct charging block has something to do with this issue... So don't feel bad, it's not just you, I have the EXACT same problem as you have stated... I'm charging with the unit off now and will do further testing, hopefully an easy fix for this surely... I want it to charge regardless of the block amperage, I have different chargers all around the house and office and have always used them all in the past without issue... I am a first time poster to XDA, but a far cry from a NOOB, and look forward to contributing more into the future...

P.S. - Great work guys on these android ROMS’s, I am/was a webOS lover like many of you I’m sure and just hate how that project has gone down the drain, it was without doubt, and remains, the best concept for a phone/tablet OS PERIOD... I used my Pre 3 and TouchPad stock right up to the point of becoming sickened by the lack of apps and long term device selection option... I do however love android and now have a newer Android phone for the obvious reasons (APPs, support, performance, latest hardware, etc) and am thrilled the good ol’ Touchpad is so capable... I really wasn't aware of how great the specs were on this thing until I looked into the CM9 flash... Plus I love flashing and customizing anyway... Much thanks to the DEVS that make this possible!!!... :good:
