[Q] ParanoidAndroid 4.1.2 and charging

[corporal_hades]

New to this ROM, is it a normal thing for the nook not to charge while on? I have to power off for the nook to charge up. Any ideas or just a normal side affect of using the ROM? Thanks!

I charge while it is sleeping.. no problem..

whats weird is a usb cable to computer charges it but not the original nook charger, only when I power off the device. I guess its not a huge inconvenience though it would be nice to charge with the wall charger.

And using original cable, not just a micro usb cable?

yes stock cable and wall plug. It wont charge while nook is on, but as soon as I power off the nook, the cable turns orange and charges just fine. If I power it back up, cable turns green like its all charged. If I use a regular usb cable while its on, it shows charging (USB). I have a new nook charger and cable coming from B&N so will see if that fixes the issue. But this cable was charging stock nook color fine, so I think its something else.

I don't think the replacement is going to fix the problem either.

I have seen this issue with CM10 on EMMC... I THINK my issue is due to multiboot from SD... Here's why... and I will do more investigating...
1. When booted to CM10 light is immediately green and nook shows discharging even when plugged in.
2. When booted to CM7 it works correctly... unless....
3. If I set deault boot to EMMC/Normal... No matter what boot i choose... immediate green light and no charging unless powered off... or sitting at the CyanoBoot menu
4. When attached to USB car charger... both indicate and charge normal.

I will do some more testing and investigation... like changing CM7 and CM10 install locations and performing above tests again and see if can narrow down the cause.

I have an SD card in the nook but its just for storage. So you think its a ROM issue with CM10? I put it on the charger last night and this morning it was at 39%, I just reconnected it and its orange again so I will see what happens.

 

[corporal_hades]

so I installed the latest CM10 nightly and the nook at the moment is charging while turned on. How often is PA synced with the CM10 nightlies? I will do some more testing to make sure its not a fluke and falsely charging.

 

[corporal_hades]

now its not charging while powered on LOL. Almost wondering if its the cable since the tip kind of moves a little bit. Powered off it does charge fine though. Weird.

Synced with the day of the build...there is nothing charge related in the PA framework so you should see identical behavior in CM nightlies, all things being equal.

 

[corporal_hades]

so it must be a CM issue? I suppose I could go back to stock and see if it works there. the latest PA I see is from Nov 21 or am I looking in the wrong place? I just dont know why the thing charges perfectly fine with the device off, but doesnt charge correctly while powered on. I have to plug in a standard microusb cable which charges it while powered on.

 

[davidr415]

It wouldn't be strictly a CM10 issue or others running the same ROM would be seeing the same problem.. I am not..

 

[corporal_hades]

ok I am awaiting the brand new charger setup from B&N to arrive and will see if that fixes things. I tried CM10 based roms and CM7 based roms and the same thing occurs so it might be a bad cable. CM10 seems more responsive than PA, which I know is based on CM10.

I restored to stock 1.4.3 and the cable is charging just fine while powered on. I am going to redo the rooting and see if maybe I might have missed something on the install.
