HP Touchpad Android jcsullins Rom WiFi Drops out

Running JCSullins CM11 4.4.4 Jan 2015 ROM on my 32 GB HP Touchpad. WiFi for the most part works OK, but it seems to quit working randomily. The icon at the top of the screen shows two bars but no connectivity or you see the lightning indicator flicker inside the WiFi icon. You can reboot sometimes or turn the WiFi off/on to restore connectivity. But the unit loses connection after a while. Anyone experiencing the same issues? When I boot into WebOS, it doesn't seem a problem.

jcsullins 11-20150113-SNAPSHOT not charging with Touchstone

Hi, Long time lurker, first time poster.

Great work jcsullins and the developers of the kernel and the toolbox.

Do any of you have the wireless Touchstone charger working with the jcsullins 11-20150113-SNAPSHOT? I ran CM9 for a long time and the Touchstone worked fine. When I installed the 20141109 and just now the 20150113 snapshots and put the Touchpad on the Touchstone, the screen charging icon displays for a few seconds then it goes away back to the discharging icon and the system does not charge. I used the Touchpad toolbox 4.0 (TPToolbox-2014-05-18-v40) to do a fresh install of each build with the gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip and update-CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140317.zip. I also have moboot 0.3.8 from my original CM installation.

I have not ever updated the "A6" firmware.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwstorm:
I am running the same ROM but used pa_gapps. Touchstone works fine. I do have to make sure that the TouchPad is centered on the Touchstone.

a6 fixed my touchstone issue

After I flashed the a6 using the touchpad toolbox, my touchstone works again!

It seems very sensitive to position on the charger though. Is the sensitivity adjustable?

I seen to recall the original web os changed the touchpad's wireless charging sensitivity affecting how it worked with a case on....

Kudos to all the developers and contributors.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwstorm:
I'm glad to hear that flashing the A6 helped you out. I guess I've just gotten used to positioning the TouchPad on the Touchstone. But I like the idea of being able to adjust the sensitivity. I'll have to do some research.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidg919:
With the 0113 snapshot, whenever I put the touchpad on the touchstone, I get a pop up window with the standard prompt that asks something like "which app do you want to open this with?"

Wi-Fi issues

I'm running 1/13 and I have intermittent Wi-Fi stalls.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtallmadge:
I have not had any issues with WiFi using the 1/13 version. You might want to check your router and internet connection and the

number of devices using it.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwstorm:
[MENTION=6207209]pekcle[/MENTION], can you describe your intermittent Wi-Fi stalls? A particular app, a specific browser, a certain location? Any kind of pattern?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pekcle:
I use Lightning Browser and Opera Browser. After clicking a link or a bookmark, the browser looks like it wants to load, but never does. I've had issues using the TWC app and Netflix as well. They would stream fine and abruptly stop. ES File Explorer also stalls when trying to access a networked drive. The only way to clear it up is to toggle the Wi-Fi off/on. Having said that, I also set the "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" setting to "Only when plugged in" because it makes a huge difference in battery drain. Of course, I tested with it set back to "Always" with no luck. For a while, I thought it was my T-Mobile router, but it isn't the case. I had the same result with my ASUS and TP-Link routers. It happens 5 ft or 50 ft from the router. No issues with my Nexus 7 2013 when they are side-by-side.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtallmadge:
I have my Wi-Fi set to "never" during sleep. This was suggested early on when using android Roms. Also, is the TP running on a 5G Wi-Fi network? If so scale it back to 2.4 GHz and see if

the range and interruptions are improved.

Sound problem

Does anyone else have sound issues while watching YouTube videos on this rom? If I have headphones plugged in and pause the video the sound will stop working until I unplug them and plug them back in.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschumacher69:
I doubt the TP can even see a 5GHz WiFi network, let alone connect to it...
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtallmadge:
Sorry to inform you that the TP can see and even connect to a 5GHz network. Since many routers now are dual channel there is a choice of which to connect to.

In my experience, the 5Ghz network does not have the range of the 2.4 GHz channel, thus my advice in my previous post.

Remove item from CM11 boot menu

I wiped WebOS intentionally during installation of the latest CM11 (cm-11-20150113-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin) and would like to remove the "Boot WebOS recovery" choice from the boot menu as it just leads to a USB connect icon and prevents the TouchPad from being powered down by anything other than a reset. Can this be done?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtallmadge:
"Boot WebOS recovery" is necessary to install Android on your device and to do any upgrades. So do not remove it. Read about using Touchpad Toolbox and you will understand the importance.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinstonSmith2012:
Thanks for the quick response. Perhaps it should be called something other than "WebOS recovery" then?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtallmadge:
I think it is part of the TP firmware so the name cannot be changed. After all, just being able to run Android on the TP is a real gift from all of the developers here. They keep our old orphaned devices relevant.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pekcle:
It's not just you. I've experienced issues with the headphone jack as well. It happens on other apps that contain audio as well.

WiFi Issues on 1-13-2015 jcsullins build on HP Touchpad

I notice there's been some discussion in the threads suggesting that the 1-13-2015 build has fixed all WiFi disconnection issues. I just want to post to let you guys know that I've been using this build for about a week now and am having a similar WiFi issue. The WiFi seems to turn off after a couple minutes, and then not turn back on unless you swipe down on the wifi/battery icon and get that tray open. Then the WiFi (slowly) turns back on even though the indicator shows it turning on almost immediately upon swiping to open the tray.

A reboot of the tablet seems to cause the issue to go away for a few hours, but it invariably returns. I've not yet narrowed down how long exactly it takes for the behavior to return, but overnight definitely is long enough. I'm running cm-11-20150113-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin.zip and gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip

It's not a terrible experience, just wanted to let y'all know there still seems to be some sort of issue with the WiFi - it just might take a while to show up. Also, I've tried this at different APs from different mfg's etc and had more or less the same experience.

USB connectivity issues with 1-13-2015 jcsullins CM11 build?

Hi Guys,

First of all, thank you so much to all the developers working on the Tenderloin project.

Last night, I updated my Touchpad from CM10 to CM11 using the TPToolbox. I used the following Rom, recovery and Gapps:

- Rom - cm-11-20150113-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin

- Gapps - gapps-kk-20140105-signed

- Recovery - update-TWRP-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140612b

- TPtoolbox - v42 - 2015-01-08

The install was successful as far as I can tell as I haven't had much time to test it fully. But so far there are no wifi issues, perfect video streaming of Popcorn Time (Netflix like app) etc.

The only issue I am having is when connecting the device to my Windows 7 laptop. I have debugging mode enabled (or disabled, tried both), and PTP mode is working perfectly. But in MTP mode, when I plug it in, my laptop recognizes that its a TouchPad but says no drivers found after searching online for drivers and then in "preconfigured driver folder".

And in Mass Storage (UMS) mode, it just switches back to MTP or PTP automatically and fails to stay in UMS mode.

Are there any drivers that I can redirect the search to better connect in MTP mode?

Thank You.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synchron50:
This happened to me a couple of times. To this day, the UMS mode doesn't work and always switches to MTP (pre CM11. it was just grayed out in the settings). I was able to get things to work by booting into recovery (clockwork jcsullin GUI) and mounting usb to initially install W7 drivers. It then worked no problem once rebooting into CM11.

Hope this helps.

Newbie to the forum here..hopefully this get read.

First off, thanks for keeping the Touchpad alive and well with these awesome ROMs!!

Just installed CM11 01.13.15 build and have noticed a few things...when rebooting the TP thing disappear and new items (not set by me) appear. For example, I set up the battery monitor widget and a few other things on my home screen. I rebooted the TP and when I returned to the home screen, the widget was gone, I was down to only one home screen (had two before reboot) and the weather widget had been added to the home screen. Is this normal ? I had the same thing happen on a different TP running the shumash PAC ROM, so I don't think it's anything I did.

Using the toolbox (ver 42) did a complete reset and reload using pa_gapps_modular_nano20150308, Philz CWM 20140612, and CM11-20150113 ROM.

I hopefully I covered everything, if not let me know.

wireless touchstone charging not working again

After a few weeks of touchstone charging working, it has stopped working again, even after reflashing a6. I am using cyanogen 11-20150113-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin 4.4.4. Maybe the charger or unit is falling but it seems like more than a coincidence that this started when I upgraded from cm9. Nevertheless, I really very much appreciate the work all the developers here do.

homescreen small

Hello my first post,

I have just updated my TP to CM11 adn it works fine so far. It was very easy with the Toolbox. Many thanks

May a stupid question, is it normal that the home screen in landscape mode is small ? I mean left and right 2,4cm from screen are not used.

The status line with battery and clock info goes to the corner and uses the total width.

Thanks

New to HP Touchpad Android - Questions

Greetings,

A couple of days ago I got an HP Touchpad new in the box from a cousin who bought it but never did anything with it. The purpose was for me to set it up so my 84 y/o mom can use it to browse family Facebook and perhaps Skype with her kids and grand kids. Right out of the box I tried to go through setup which left me at the HP terms and conditions screen which would never load. After playing with that for a while I told my kin that it is a boat anchor. But then, I started doing some on-line research and I have arrived here. I know at this point you are all saying oh crap, here we go, but bear with me a bit.

Through my research I learned that there is an active Android community for the TP who seem to be pretty dedicated to the device. So, I kept digging. Here is where I am at the moment. After not that many searches, I got onto JCSullins TPToolbox and what it could do for loading the Android ROM and gapps and recovery.

Currently I have a working TP running the cm-1120150113-snapshot-jcsullins-tenderloin ROM. I did a complete wipe in the toolbox before installing since I couldn't setup WebOS anyway. For gapps I grabbed gapps-kk-20140105-signed and for recovery I used update-CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20141231.

I really didn't know what recovery was getting me, or I would have installed a touch enabled version, but I'm OK with what I have for now.

I am tempted to buy some other tablet for mom and keep this TP for myself. I am having that much fun playing with it.

At the moment my problem is the camera. While the gapps I installed includes the camera2.akp, I see no camera applet in the apps list. I have installed a couple of different camera apps including ucam, but no love yet. I have also installed the Restart Camera app and the Camera (CMFix) apps and have tried the "put pressure on either side of the camera to reseat the connector" advice. All to no avail. I can't test the camera in WebOS because WebOS was never initialized on this device. So, I am coming here, even though I am not a developer looking for help. I have already gained a great deal of respect for those of you who have poured hours of blood, sweat , and tears into this device and various builds of Android. Especially thanks to JCSullins for his effort and the TPToolbox, which made installing the rom, recovery and gapps painless. I haven't had this much fun in a long time.

Any advice regarding configuration, and getting the camera working will be greatly appreciated. Full disclosure - [I haven't jet read all 100+ pages of this discussion so maybe I missed the solution. If so just point me to the appropriate page (I have read the first 50 or so) - this was in reference to the original discussion - her's the link to page 16 of the discussion I was reading http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2712680&page=16]. I realized that I was posted on another discussion because I am a noob. Thanks in advance for any advice you may be inclined to give even if it is logoff and never return here you imbecile! ;)

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps

Oh, and I actually salute you for your thorough research before you did this, very few people do what you did, most of them just don't read anything and post that they need help flashing Android on their TP even though all this information is already there. But you my friend, have already done all this and you're just asking a question because you're stuck somewhere and you already tried everything to solve your problem. So to tell you to "logoff and never to return here you imbecile"?? No, I'm not going to do that ;)

No love - still researching

mschumacher:

Thanks I'll try the touch recovery at some point.

Did successfully flash the 20140606 gapps and clear both caches. Still didn't find a stock camera app. I installed Google Camera and first run got "error can't connect camera". Next time I get a black screen with the camera icon in the center (not the app icon, but the gray camera shape with the hole in the center), but nothing else. Also the Camera (CMFix) and Restart Camera combo don't help. I just see the message that Restart Camera was granted Superuser, then nothing. I am wondering if there is a physical problem with the camera. If I do a restore of WebOS, I expect that I will still be stuck at the HP terms and conditions acceptance screen so that won't help me be able to test the camera.

As for the imbecile comment - just my odd humor shining through. I do appreciate the feedback!
