[Thunderbolt General] nosympathy:
you make sure to bump charge your phone and then wipe battery stats everytime you flash a new rom?

i noticed CWM doesn't seem to wipe battery stats, so I went in and wiped them with root explorer myself. Renamed the file to batterystats.bin.back and rebooted and have had nothing but super perfect battery since.

/data/system/batterystats.bin
[Thunderbolt General] daniel178:
nosympathy-

So I assume that the batterystats.bin file is automatically rebuilt (new file) after you rename it? Do you have to restart the phone or anything? What about if I don't bump charge? Will this still help?
[Thunderbolt General] hijackerjack:
A new file will be created when you reboot.

[Thunderbolt General] thunderboltglass:
Ya i've bump charged a few times do you have to do this everyday though
[Thunderbolt General] thunderboltglass:
Nevermin I see each time you flash
[Thunderbolt General] Bigandrewgold:
I throw it in airplane mode if i'm not using it for a hour or 2, screen brightness on 20 while inside and 100 while outside and everything else is stock including the battery and i have no root, after 15hr since unplugged and having 3.5h of use i still had over 50% battery when i went to bed
[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
Anyone else running SPB Shell 3D? I like it, and it runs pretty well, but I have two issues with it:

1. When I wake the phone from sleep, I see my home screen widgets but the home screen apps and wallpaper take a good 5 seconds to appear. Nothing fancy going on with apps or wallpaper that would cause this.

2. When I rotate the carousel with my finger (not with the slider), choosing a panel does not open that panel - the app instead opens the most recently opened panel. So, the only way to switch panels with the carousel is the slider. Is this the way it is supposed to work?

UPDATE: Reboot seems to have fixed #2, but #1 remains unresolved.

UPDATE #2: Solved. Turning the screen off with Screen Off And Lock was the culprit. Using the power button or an alternative widget (Widgetsoid) eliminates the home launcher redraw problem and the carousel problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jlusco:
i have it as well and i get a frezze every once in awile but nothing to drastick
[HTC Inspire 4G] Pope Viper:
I also have it, and was experiencing an issue where I had to keep defining SPB as the default shell. I contacted SPB support, and they have determined it is a device specific issue.

I then flashed to the Android Revolution ROM, and no longer experience the problem.
[Blade General] romasis:
Hi, everyone,

I have a big problem. My phone was orange brand b10. Had installed swedish spring rls4b, everything worked well. But accidentally flashed tele sweden FRY_SFIN_P729BV1.0.0B05-update_signed.zip. Flashing was completed without any error reports, before that I did backup, wiped all data, cache and dalvik cache. Pressed "reboot phone" and it stucked in bootloop, restarts in 5sec. after green android logo shows. Tried pool battery out, tried pool sd an sim cards out, nothing helped. How to make the phone to work??? any idea, please.
[Blade General] tamerg:
what happens if u press vol up an power on? do u get in fastboot mode?
[Blade General] romasis:
Nothing, phone restarts every 4-5 sec.
[Nook Color General] buffnutz1:
What should I sell it for? One it's already rooted and running the CM7 tweaks version. Then I've got 6 cases and a few chargers for it. What do you guys think?
[Nook Color General] alexmu:
I am thinking that why u have so many cases...
[Nook Color General] bradputt:
I am thinking that why u have so many chargers .......
[Nook Color General] HarleyChick:
Why are you selling it?
[Nook Color General] fanboy:
One hundred jillion gazillion dollars!
[Nook Color General] kin869:
What cases do you have? Maybe I'll take one off your hands.
[Nook Color General] bekyndnunwind:
Don't do it!!! Sell 4 or 5 of the cases though... :D
[Nook Color General] TheValk:
One million dollars!

Mwahahahhahahahaha Mwahahahhahahaha.

Seriously, I'm wondering the same thing as the previous posters.
[Nook Color General] A. Nonymous:
I'm also wondering about the 6 cases and might be willing to take one of them off your hands.
[Nook Color General] buffnutz1:
LOL ok. So 5 cases and 1 sleeve. I bought the amazon package with the Leather portfolio case and 5 silicon case and extra chargers. That's how I got them all. Thinking of selling it cause you can get Ipad 1s now for like $300.
[Nook Color General] Chahk:
So you're downgrading? :p
[Nook Color General] buffnutz1:
Let's be real here. The NC is no Ipad. It was just the best option at that price.
[Nook Color General] akarol:
Agreed.....
[Nook Color General] t3rabyte:
Really? I'm running Cm7 on my Nook with a Quandrant score of over 1700 and can do so many things on this that you can't do on the iPad.
[Nook Color General] supersoulfly:
Oh My Gosh!!!!! I love to tell people what to do. Especially when it comes to shopping. It makes me feel like a little boy again when I use to go to the grocery store with my mommy. We so excited!

Dude, seriously? It's called ebay.

Figure it out.
[Nook Color General] davewill:
A used tablet? About half the price of a new one.

[Nook Color General] ngriffin360:
terapeak says you should get $230-$250 for it Used on ebay..so subtract their onerous fees of about 15% when all said and done and you have a price. You could also try Craigs list..but then you have to deal with the logistics of meeting someone, but you may get a clean 250 for it.
[Nook Color General] A. Nonymous:
That really depends. The NC has some pros over the iPad. It also has some cons. No question about that. I would never ever trade my NC for an iPad. I can understand why someone might though.
[Nook Color General] madsquabbles:
I've sold my nook and gotten another galaxy tab. but I sold it to someone who I know will love it as much as I did. the plus is that he works with me and any time updates are available I help him out. its almost like I still have the nook.

who knows, I may buy another later... that was actually nook 3, lol.
[Nook Color General] markawashington:
Best bet is go to BN and find someone looking to buy a nook lol umm and where are they selling ipads for 300.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
Let's be real here. The Ipieceofcrap is no NC. It was just the most expensive choice at that price.

Corrected for spelling and grammar issues.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
to reply to the OP, I'd say 200 with cases at most..unless you can find someone who's willing to pay more bcuz it's rooted, if you go that route.

To all the iPad stuff...I would never own an iPad, NEVER! But I understand people who like iOS. IMO the nook is better than the iPad 1 because Android is better than iOS (although the iOS does have a few things to its advantage, although I think Android will overtake that eventually with support) Oh fun iOS vs Android talk!
[Nook Color General] captobie:
Six cases??? You have more money tied up in cases than the actual NC! :D
[Nook Color General] scl23enn4m3:
$200. Root and those cases add no value.
[Nook Color General] WobbleTheHutt:
a nook color has a bit more horse power than an ipad 1 once overclocked and double the ram and has expandable storage, other than the oooh shiny factor of the ipad unless you NEED to use a bluetooth keyboard at more than a few inches away they are fairly feature comparable now with CM7 (the tablet tweaks make for a very elegant and intuitive experience compared to softkeys or button savior etc) however if you could find the right buyer you could probably get close to full price for it.
[Nook Color General] corwin90:
No more $300 ipads

You can't anymore.

For like a day at most, Verizon was selling the first gen iPad 16GB WiFi only for $300. They didn't last long at all. I would be very surprised if you could still find one.

The best deal on a new first gen iPad is $529 for the 64 GB 3G one. I think that is about all that is left these days.
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
Give it till christmas, Ipad 1's will be all over ebay and craigslist for $300 or cheaper.
[Nook Color General] {Diemex}:
I also sold my nc, but I got a galaxy tab for it.

I would only encourage you to buy a ipad1 if you want to have a device for at home, otherwise its no good.

Also I would not buy an 1st Gen apple device.

It will be outdated by next year.

So I would recommend to buy a 16gb ipad 2. Because the hardware is so much better....

[Nook Color General] greenmky:
The only tablet I'd consider beyond the NC would be a Galaxy Tab wi-fi (given the fairly reasonable price). Or the upcoming HTC flyer (love me a stylus & digitizer) but that will be way too expensive.

Ipad is too big / no ports / stupid Apple constant update annoyance (I hate jailbreaking over and over).

I can't wait for this tablet to come out, DUAL-CORE 1.2GHz

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2382584,00.asp?kc=PCRSS03069TX1K0001121
[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
I like the 7" size, it's perfect... but these benchmarks comparing the tegra2 to the dual core snapadragon kind of scare me away from it and more towards the Asus EEE pad.
[Nook Color General] A. Nonymous:
Curious why you would recommend the iPad 2 over the Xoom. Hardware wise the Xoom is better.
[Nook Color General] {Diemex}:
A tablet is not a computer in the traditional way. The hardware is not so important.

With any mobile device it's more or less about the software. I know that ios truly sucks in comparison to android.

But I know it from my iPod that the apps that you get for ios are of a much higher quality than the android apps.

For example, that drawing apps on the ipad ignore if you put your wrist on the screen, probably you also get such apps for xoom?

I just think that the xoom lacks the functionality, because you don't have a variety of apps.

If I would only compare them hardwarewise and the buildin os functionalitywise, then the xoom wins definetely.

But I don't owe either of them, nor have I used either of them, the ipad maybe for 15 min.

I also don't see a point in a big tablet, my computer is still by far the BEST expirience, gaming, functionality and fun wise.

I don't believe that anything is ever going to reach that experience, not with the cut down software that is deployed on the tablets.

Maybe a tablet build windows would make me buy a tablet....

[Nook Color General] Gin1212:
So you're talking out your ***...?

Yes, IOS has a lot more programs right now. But is it future proof? Give it a year or so as more android tablets become mainstream, and I'm sure you're going to see a lot more programs getting written and ported over.

That said, Ipad and Xoom both are not so much about replacing a whole computer system. They're about making small steps in that direction while giving us some functionality for the real world.

I personally am not in a position where I could take my laptop to work. It would just look like i'm sitting there playing games(and I probably would ;D), but with the nook color it's very easy to bring it, play games, read books, do some light internet browsing and hell, write a book if I want too. Does it replace a computer that has had over 20 years to mature? No, not at all.

But it comes close.

If most people don't know this... Google is kind of a big deal... And they have a lot of big deal companies behind them that want a piece of the Icake. Give it time to mature and I'm sure we'll see more android love. Especially since Apple has done nothing but try to keep their sales funnel closed so that only certain networks carried their phones and only certain software and hardware can be in their stores.
[Nook Color General] bricarp:
Wait a year? I personally don't buy electronics for what they may or may not be able to do in the future. I buy them for what they can do now.

Now don't get me wrong. I love my nook color, but the biggest thing I love about it is the fact that it's portable. If the iPad had been available in a 7 inch form and for a comparable price, you can bet that's the one I would have bought.

Tablet's aren't super expensive. They're not long term investments. You buy them for the functionality that they currently provide. If in a year, the android tablets are far superior, he can sell his ipad and buy himself a new tablet.
[Nook Color General] buffnutz1:
OK guys. Sold it for $260 on CL. With 2 cases.
[Nook Color General] olm3ca:
Actually apples are outdated every year, creating crack addicts that wait in lines in the rain for a slimmer faster whatever. The Oatmeal said it best... (What it's like to own an Apple product)

As for the NC, it's been far more useful than I could have ever imagined. I use it for everything now, my home laptop is collecting dust. Once I get a bt keyboard, and once bt audio input works on a headset, I'm 100% happy. Who really wants to take pictures with a tablet anyway? Maybe skype webconference, but that's useful about one out of every 200x I use skype.

Part of the reason I'm hanging on to this thing and not even thinking of selling it is that the devs are so awesome and coming out with updates every day.
[Nook Color General] {Diemex}:
Just because there's a new version of a apple device l it doesn't mean that the old version is outdated already.

After 2 years a apple usually is outdated.

So that's y I wouldn't buy a 1 year old device just for half the release piece.

[Nook Color General] lilbuddhaman:
The only problem I see with android is that the segmentation of devices is becoming bigger and bigger. Some companies like Honeycomb, some want to skip it. Some have Tegra 2's , some don't. Some are tablets, some are phones; which unlike the istuff have many many many forms/shapes/screen sizes. Custom UI's, Custom Marketplaces.

If android is going to succeed without turning into a bloated mess, it needs to make sure devices are kept on a certain path.. not too restricted.. but also not too crazy. We don't want to have situation where there are 50 current devices, each with their own OS, each with their own custom apps, each with their own custom marketplace.

[Nook Color General] JoKu:
I've thought about selling mine because I technically don't "need" it. But I want it; it's just frustrating when HC still hasn't fully been released. I know once it is I would really regret selling it. So even though I am not using it much at the moment, I know it's partly because I got just the Thunderbolt and it's my newest toy now, and the other part because waiting for HC sucks.
[Nook Color General] buffalosolja42:
I also thought about selling my NC

only reason is because the galaxy tab came down to 349.99 and that is the only reason. But the thing is I have the extended warranty from walmart that is actually pretty good. So selling would be a waste because more than likely after the warranty is up (B&N) and the walmart kicks in and the battery or something is worn, they will send me a gift card for THE ORIGINAL purchase amount so then I can get the latest and for a fraction of cost. I learned about this because when buying my kids stuff it always died right after manufactures warranty and walmart kicks in right after and gives you the amount you paid back!
[Nook Color General] linyongzheng:
Good to hear that you sold it for that much. I personally bought mine used on craigslist for $200 (with case). A month ago, NC's were definitely were selling for ~$230-250 that much without any extras.

I'm a little surprised that they haven't dropped in price given the swarm of tablets that will be released this year, but maybe it is the whole android development that is keeping the price up.
[Nook Color General] Cl0wnbaby:
I'm really surprised to see people ditching the nook for the galaxy tab...I heard it was difficult (or impossible to rom - I know there's no cm for it)...the NC w/tablet tweaks is beautiful for me. ..not that it has anything to do w/the galaxy tab but another thing I LOVE about having an android tablet is shared purchases...buy it on my incredible and it shows up on my NC...and vice versa

A Norwegian mobile site has visited Samsung Norway and they write in their article that they have gone away from the RFS filesystem to EXT4.

It's in norwegian, but I have included the the Google Translate link too for all non norwegians:p

[Galaxy S II General] Sonner YDG:
I'm completely new to the Android scene but will be buying this phone for sure! How would it work changing the launcher to another one such as Launcher Pro?
[Galaxy S II General] virussnake:
does this article refer anything regarding the release?
[Galaxy S II General] titus-fox:
can someone explain what the benefits of ext4 are? it will be faster ?
[Galaxy S II General] fluke2k:
Nope, but the device he's got don't have the "NOT FOR SALE" etched on it's back as all the other pre-consumer versions I've seen in other previews all over the net.

The phone is also localized to norwegian, so my guess is that release is imminent:-)
[Galaxy S II General] Ayrlupine:
Just install LauncherPro or whatever, and the next time you hit home it'll ask which one you want to set as your default! :)

[Galaxy S II General] onbacardi:
on my sgs 1 i converted all files to ext4 from RSF. and it was nice smooth and no lag (faster) so i believe ext4 in sgs 2 is a smart positive move and it will be faster than having RSF.
[Galaxy S II General] HTC_Spree:
That are very interesting Qs! Were are the Linux-Nerds? Please explain the advantages/disadvantages of ext4 in reference to a mobile device! :eek:

Thanks in advance!

:D
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4

Large file system

Backward compatibility

Delayed allocation

Break 32,000 subdirectory limit

Faster file system checking

Improved timestamps

Basically a file system that is more enhanced for security, file structure, faster accessing of files.

You can read the link above for a quick insight to its technologies.
[Galaxy S II General] HTC_Spree:
does RFS be the same like ext3?

(Sorry I dont know anything about filesystems)
[Galaxy S II General] PartyMango:
No, RFS and ext3 are completely different.
[Galaxy S II General] fluke2k:
RFS is/was Samsungs own filesystem and was the one that made the first Galaxy S laggy. The lagfixes that was introduced ether made a virtual ext4 filesystem or replaced the RFS with ext filesystem completely...

Many people have been holding out on preorders for this phone because they was afraid that it would also use the RFS filesystem...

Isn't EXT4 a requirement of 2.3 anyways? So this is something we had to know was going to happen...

[Galaxy S II General] DNStuff:
so i am not able to copy 27 minutes long videos from the galaxy s to my computer. is that because of the RFS file system?
[Galaxy S II General] ijat91:
RFS slow does not mean it totally useless, i never encounter any problem to copy any file to pc from my galaxy s. RFS is just not good enough to use in the phone, it actually fast but not really good involving a read/write for small file sizes---> something about that, i'm not expert but that what i actually read about RFS.

However, samsung manage to optimised it performance, that is why after 2.2.1, SGS a not necessary to use lagfix anymore except if you want higher score in benchmark...
[Galaxy S II General] Techno79:
As far as I know the RFS filing system is used for specific system data. The area that you copy files to on the Samsung Galaxy S will be FAT32 formatted (both the internal and external SD cards). If your 27 minute video file is over 4GB limit then this could be why it is not working (FAT32 only supports files up to 4GB big).
[Galaxy S II General] Hyperion82:
I love the idea of RFS GONE FOR GOOD, but excuse my skepticism, is this officially confirmed by anyone within Samsung ?

Maybe ''meaningless'' quadrant score but it scores over 3000 , which is very much. And such a score underlines that it will probably be ext4 since RFS scored pretty low on quadrant on SGS.

For those paying VAT, I still think the cheapest place is www.expansys.com. Their list price is £499 inc VAT with 5% cashback using (www.quidco.com or www.topcashback.co.uk). This works out at a net cost of £474.04 inc VAT.

Not sure how the above translates to those who only pay ex VAT costs as it might get a bit complicated with the cashback.
