[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomcracker:
ROM: Virtuous 1.0.2

Kernel: Virtuous Advanced 2.2.0

I'm having trouble with my screen struggling to turn on when I wake my phone if the cpu speed is anything above stock. If I push the power button once the capacitative buttons light and nothing else happens, if I push it a second time the lights turn off again and I briefy see my lockscreen flicker before my pained eyes :(

If I do this cycle many times over eventually I'll get lucky, but there's no pattern to the success and it's very frustrating.

The symptoms are similar to this thread: [Q] Phone unlocking screen issues. The method described there to solve the problem was to turn off on/off animations. I don't think this solution applied as I'm not using CM7.

I think the touchscreen input is recieved despite the screen itself having no picture - for example I can unlock my phone by swiping down (stock Sense lockscreen). If I touch the touchscreen in the right place to open the dialer while I've "unlocked" it in this way, when the phone finally wakes after frantic power button pushing, the phone will be in the dialer app.

I think it might be related to Sense as I tried a stock Sense from rmk - [ROM]Vision_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_12.5 0.60.24_26.08.04.16_M and overclocked using both Virtuous Advanced 2.2.0 and Pershoot's Kernel. In both cases I also had wake issues any time I tried to wake when the cpu was clocked above stock speeds (even 900MHz).

Further evidence towards a sense problem is that I don't have any issues when I'm at 1.4GHz when using CM7. I missed the sense apps too much to stay with CM7, however.

I have a workaround using CPU Tuner with a screen off profile of 246-806 Mhz, and I can then overclock freely afterwards. I can live with this but if anyone has an idea why this might be happening then I'd appreciate a solution.

As I've been lurking on XDA for a while but this be my first post, thanks to all you incredible developers who have made it possible for me to customise my phone in these fantastic ways.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theSpam:
Set your screen brightness to something greater than 50%. It's not a fix but a very reasonable workaround .
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomcracker:
Wow that worked perfectly! Thanks! :D

Was that fix well-documented anywhere, out of curiosity? I'd searched these forums quite heavily and didn't see that anywhere. Makes me feel silly that it was such a simple fix - I'd been flashing ROMs all night to get the same bug :P
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
The screen off issue is thoroughly discussed in the Virtuous kernel thread. I forget the exact explanation, but its got something to do with the CPU stepping while the screen if off.

The common fix is a SetCPU/CPU Tuner screen off profile, as you seemed to have discovered. But adjusting the governor type in addition to minimum CPU clocking seems to be the common solution used. I think the interactive governor seems to work best to prevent screen wake issues.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=967153
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atomcracker:
Yeah, I read that thread fairly extensively but the solutions there didn't help. I can easily replicate the problem by setting my cpu with the performance governor to anything above stock speed (i.e. the cpu will be at one single speed the entire time, I think?). The over 50% brightness solution works very well (at the expense of more noticeable battery drain)!

I want my nook to be able to stream video from my home system. I have a dynamic dns setup. I thought my firewall had vpn support but it apparently only has vpn passthrough support. :(

What windows software is compatible with software on the NC?

Running CM7 nightly 40 ATM. Dalingrin's 4/18C kernel.
[Nook Color General] ouldsmobile:
Have you tried OpenVPN? It should work well with the Nook Color from what I have read in these forums. The devices for it are built in to Dalingren's Kernels. I personally use OpenVPN to VPN to my home network and it works great though I haven't tried connecting with the Nook Color yet but it is on my list of things to try. I have OpenVPN support built in to my router firmware, I run a customized version of the Tomato Firmware on my Asus router, it also has Dyndns.org support built in so I can always connect regardless of the IP address. Works great when I went to do some remote admin work on my machines at home, mostly the linux boxes.
[Nook Color General] chisleu:
Yep. I noticed VLC has support for that, so that is where I started. I'm going to spend some time on it over my break. I have all the software installed, but I haven't configured anything yet.

I hope to be able to access home pc files, stream video to my cellphone or tablet (I got VLC stream and convert working on both now!! :) ), and maybe do some other super-secret-squirrel stuff.

Thanks for the info. I'll do a guide in my "Things I Learned" thread when I've got a firm grasp on things.

I am new to Motorola devices.

Here is what I know so far. There is this SBF file that you "flash" to you XOOM via this RDS tool that gets everything back to stock standard and helps you get out of soft-bricks. Currently only the 3G versions SBF file is available. Did this leak or was it released by Moto? Will the WiFi version ever get a SBF file? I have a tendency to make mistakes would like to know there is a way to get out of me breaking my XOOM before I start pushing buttons to load the custom goodness.

I updated my NC to run CM7 off the SD card and whenever I go to charge it the Indicator built into the USB cable never changes to Green when the battery is completely charged. Is always stays the yellow color. Anyone else notice this?
[Nook Color General] nolook:
ya same with mine it never changes colour...
[Nook Color General] woodytxag:
For me, sometimes it turns green, other times it doesn't. Seems to charge up OK either way though.
[Nook Color General] cshehan:
Odd I have CM7 flashed to the emmc and it always turns green when fully charged. Is everyone who's having a problem running off SD?
[Nook Color General] fpga_guy:
The green indicator is not tied to the battery percent gauge on the display. It takes a few hours after the 100% reading before the green light goes on...
[Nook Color General] bradputt:
that doesn't sound too right. it should turn on at 100% immediately right?

and i thought i'm the only one with this problem.
[Nook Color General] fpga_guy:
Nope... the green light is tied to a voltage comparator. When the threshold exceeds the predetermined voltage, the light turns green.

The battery gauge is tied to a ADC (analog to digital converter). That's how it determines the percentage power left.

The two are independent. The question was previously addressed:

Just came up with a problem.

Few minutes ago I tried using my phone's memory card as a usb in my car to play some music but too bad till the time it switches into mass memory mode the music player says not applicable usb.

What to do?

Can't we decrease the unplugging time so as to use mass storage mode quickly?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAdmira1:
So about a week ago I tried to flash the alpha honeycomb rom. Played around with it a bit, but since Im in India I need my Tab to make calls via wifi back to the states, so I restored back to just before the flash. Then I saw there was a new build of Koush's kernal so I flashed that. About 3 days ago I started getting a weird wifi modem error and I would have to reboot to get wifi back. I just thought at first it was because the internet at my hotel isnt exactly amazing, and maybe i was building up a cache somehow? Honestly didnt really have a clue, but I didnt really care. Last night it got strange tho, I suddenly only had .90 mb of internal storage. I couldnt do anything because i had 0 space. So I deleted a few apps as fast as I could and used titanium to move everything else to the SD. I rebooted into cwm and wiped the cache, dalvik cahce, and even factory reset to no avail. then I downloaded the newest Koush rom thinking that if I just flashed another rom Id be fine because it would repartition and start fresh. Apparently not so much. I just bootlooped at the Verizon screen somehow. So again, thinking i knew what I was doing, tried to restore. Nooooothing again. Then I had to go to work so I got a buddys laptop and rebooted into download mode, installed heimdall on the pc and proceeded to try to flash the stock files from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=955342&highlight=vzw ... thought all would be well, but I got an error saying descriptor not found. So i reinstalled the driver thinking that was the error I got. Tried again and got an error -12. So i unplugged to see if I could do aaannnything in cwm... and my screen did this... has anyone seen this or know how screwed I am?? Im in Mumbai for 12 more days and I think Ive had the tab for about 2.5-3 months so far... kinda screwed huh?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAdmira1:
so I made an attempt to flash the stock files. Hiemdall said it worked, but the progress bar on the tab never went past about halfway, overnight. Now it wont show that download screen unless its plugged into a power source and it turns itself off randomly then immediately turns back on into the download screen and does that process repeatedly. If I plug into the pc it is unresponsive and then turns off after a few min :( WTF did I dooooo?!?!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emieczko:
If you plug into a power source, without trying to turn your Tab on, do you get a battery icon?

Sounds like your battery is dead, in which case, if you can get it to charge you may yet be able to reflash...

Try letting it charge for at least a few hours and then take another crack at flashing.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Because im sick of seeing non-dev posts in the dev section. Its irritating to see and baffling how anybody could not have enough common sense to realise that posting stuff like this in here is wrong, We have a Q&A and Gen forum for that.

Because there doesn't seem to be any active Tab mods here to move/move, the only way make the users who make the posts in here aware is to tell them. If they are not made aware they will post their next topic here.

If nobody else is prepared to make them aware and to try and cut the crap down, I will, and don't care what you think.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GANJDROID:
I agree that the forums need clearing. But you ploughing into every single misplaced thread isn't going to help.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
And I do!

The point is that the help/advice had already been given on this one but nobody made the Op aware that he/she had posted in wrong place so would have likely done same again next time.

If nobody tells them how will they know? (apart from the obvious, ie reading forum titles.)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheAdmira1:
I posted here because in other forums the general is mostly for those who have not rooted, and also have not flashed. In most cases people that know what theyre doing tend to only frequent the Dev sections, between that and the fact that all of my issues came from posts in the Dev section I thought this would be the correct place for it. apparently I am wrong, and sooo thankful that someone as heroic as yourself has stepped up to do away useless threads since we obviously have a space limit in our forum. wouldnt want to bog down our servers with my useless post of course...

regardless of the flaming and trolling... im still screwed, my post isnt moving and i will continue to ask those that know for help. thanks for the advice though, ill take it into consideration for my next post... now run along...

I have charged for about 9 hours now and still nothing:( could i have fried it somehow? If I bring it to verizon in the state its in, is there anyway for them to tell i flashed it? or will they just assume i did since it is pretty much in a state of brickiness as far as i can tell...

TIA and thanks to those whos British bigotry hasnt stood in the way of reading my post and attempting to lend a hand... where i come from the main purpose of a forum is to ask those who know for help and share the knowledge weve attained...

Ok to put this at rest coz its getting irritating. You are active old users. And you believe that tab needs more forum modding. I dunno what are the rules but when applying for a mod positions open apply or root for a candidate like yourself or nautious or bytork or anyone.

As for op does your tab get identified by your computer in odin or heimdell? As i said thats an alternate download mode. If computer identifies it. You can get a shot at flashing. Do it via a windows computer please. If tab is fried beyond repair which i doubt verizon will never know you flashed unless you tell them of course :D

[G Tablet Accessories] gangolfus:
Is the bottom of the holder large enough that you could cut a slot in the bottom to make the connector accessible without compromising the structural integrity of the stand?
[G Tablet Accessories] sjmoreno:
What connector are you referring to? The dock connector on the bottom? The USB connector on the top left? The power connector on the lower left?

Looking at the photos it doesn't look like there is any kind of a groove on the horizontal piece of wood so it would seem the tab could slide off pretty easilly if you're poking at the tablet. But it does look like it's about 50% wider than the thickness of the tablet.

If you're talking about having the power cord plugged into it while you have the tablet in portrait mode then why not flip it so that the power port is on top and not the bottom? That's what I do when I use my Arkon foldable stand and I need to charge the tablet at the same time.

I meant the dock connector, in the off chance that an HDMI cable ever becomes available.
