My friend has a Blackberry Bold and whenever he takes it out on the leather case it automatically went on (the screen) and putting it back on the case will make screen off, is this the same principle as what you saying here?

Well just curious...definitely will try this app, thanks.

alarm!

Great program! just tried the free version and works very well on hd2 + original flip cover, but I found a bug: I set extafunction-> No-lock to "unlock on screen activation" and I set an alarm in default sense clock settings, then I left the screen to turn off and I waited.... the result is an endless unstoppable alarm! The only way to stop it is to shoutdown the phone!
[Android Apps and Games] beepsilver:
Plugging and unplugging ac power seems to be the issue. When I have it plugged in to my USB or wall outlet, killswitch works every time. As soon as I unplug it, it stops working. When I plug it back in, it continues to work (without any modification to the Killswitch settings). It seems the only time Killswitch works as advertised is when I have a fresh install of Killswitch. Then after a few minutes, it stops working until I connect the phone to ac power. I sure appreciate your involvement--thank you!

Hi - im still looking into it im afraid - we have two apps coming out tomorrow and support is kind of hard to come by...

I promise ill look into it second half of the day tomorrow, sorry for the delay!

I'm wondering how much power changes (ac to dc or dc to ac) has to do with it, because every time I change power, killswitch functionality changes.

Also, even though I have "turn off lockscreen" enabled, the phone sometimes returns to a lock state when i press a hardware key to turn on the phone. HTC Sense?

Thanks for your help.

Hi there an good evening. I have a major problem with the Custom Rom Baldoz Rom5.0, just released today.

I cant post in the developers thread, cause i dont have 10 posts, sadly. So i need to post it herer:(

Just downloaded it, disabled lagfix via CWM (Darkys Rom9.5) and wiped. After this i installed the new rom. Looks good in the first place. But im not satisfied with the performance so i tried to get back to Darkys via CWM, but now i have the problem:

Its not possible via the 3-key method to go into recovery. Just stucks at Galaxy s IT9000 and didnt go any further.

Removed battery, but that didnt solve anything.

Hope, u can help me. Would be great:)

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glfngmble:
I have been wading through the talk about the 1.2 update to get a stock version of Froyo and I don't see any real advantage over the NookieFroyo I am running now (emmc). I saw a video from another thread that showed a 1.2 NC running and some apps didn't load and it doesn't really look like an Android Native. More like a slowly developing B&N OS. Am I missing something?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gin1212:
Obviously there's no point right now as it can't be nootered. So until the developers play with it, there really is no point.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RegLinUsr:
Beyond that, there isn't much to the 1.2 update over the original with regards to functionality. The market that is now included is dismally scarce of apps; 137 total count as of this post and is actually B&N's own site, not the actual droid market. The overall functionality is still that of the simple ebook reader that the NC is created as in the first place. Rooting it is still the only real way of waking this tablet out of the B&N slumber that has been placed on it in its out-of-the-box form.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottyNuttz:
It will eventually be with it.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glfngmble:
That was my thought exactly. Even if it gets rooted, it doesn't look like it will have the cool "status bar" with the back and home natively working. Until something like that comes along for the B&N OS, I think I will stay NookieFroyo for now.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordbobjones:
My question would be does the market work? I keep seeing the BN Apps but nothing to indicate if the Market is functional or included.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buellwinkle:
When my DroidX went from 2.1 to 2.2 I was expecting WOW with all the anticipation and hype, but the reality is that outside of flash support, there was nothing worth upgrading for. It's as exciting as upgrading Windows XP from service pack 1 to service pack 2 but less exciting than going to service pack 3.

So if you already have a rooted stock NC, upgrading to 2.2 won't really make much of a difference to you other than flash which in many cases means less flash based ads. But heck, we are hackers and what's the point of the NC if you can't hack it again and again when new releases come out. Otherwise it would be like buying a puzzle, solving it and not having an opportunity to start over with new pieces. Get though this one and I'm sure B&N will have the 2.2.1 upgrade in a few months and we can do this again, woohooo!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razorgaze:
flash is about the only thing i see that makes the update worth it.

It seems (to me anyway) that flash runs quite a bit better on 1.2 (vs the ROMs I've tried). I hope we can see the same results with some ROMs :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japzone:
I've had Unrooted Stock since day one. Instead I run CM7 from my 4gb Class 6 SD. It runs well and, thanks to it, I've had the best of both worlds.

I've played with the update a bit today and I'll have to agree that for Rooters until 1.2 is Rooted it's not worth it, but for the None Techie this Update is great as it enables New NookBook and KidsBook features and it gives them Apps and Flash. So it's up to you whether you update or not.

Either way this Update makes life easier for Devs as they'll have an Official Stable 2.2 kernal for the Nook to work from, and other helpful additions. Good Luck Guys :D

B&N will never make the nook like a normal tablet. They need to preserve the market space it occupies as an eReader with extras, not a tablet that can be an eReader.

If you are running stock, then its a decent upgrade. Otherwise, its just refinement for the system.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyDanger:
I updated since I just run CM7 off an 8gb card. What I have to say really annoyed me is the pricing of the apps. Take angry birds for example. In the Android Market its free. On the itunes appstore its either 99¢ or $1.99, I can't remember. But in the Nook Color appstore its $2.99. Other apps are similarly priced. I see BN upping the price on more apps that would normally be free or cheap.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maltydog:
I just bought a nook at lunch today, planning on rooting it tonight (I recently rooted my Samsung Epic happily, and when figuring out to do that I read about rooting nooks). So during the afternoon at the office, I got an email from ZDNet raving about the upgrade, how it turned the Nook into a Real Android Tablet. so I thought, well, maybe I should just do this instead of rooting it. So I downloaded the zip file, and once the Nook was charged I ran the upgrade, which went fine. But I see now that the upgrade is pretty much a waste of time, no comparison to the features of a rooted nook, and it is currently unrootable.

There are quite a few posts here about restoring a nook to stock, but I am not sure if they apply to 1.2. What is the best method of restoring my 1.2 to 1.1, then rooting?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miniaturepeddler:
If you have stock, simply force the reboot 8 times, and the Nook will return to stock 1.1 for you (rather than the 1.2).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japzone:
B&N aren't allowing any Ad supported Apps in their store so Devs have to makeup with pricing. On top of that, the Angrybirds is the more expensive HD version. So, at least for Angrybirds, the pricing makes sense. Unfortunately, the lack of Ad support means that most likely there won't be that many free Apps on the Nook Store since Devs need to get money somehow.

The Fix is to remove your SD card then install. B&N should fix that because this Fix isn't obvious to most people.

I think it's a worthy upgrade for stock users. I used to have my Nook Autonootered, but to be honest it didn't really make it any better. I went back to stock a week ago and all I missed was Angry Birds.

I agree in just one way with with RIM: when you have the internet, apps are secondary.

EDIT: Magazines are much better in 1.2. They used to be laggy and unenjoyable; now they're much smoother.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dementor123:
IMO, it would count towards your data usage so it should cost if not on unlimited plan.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel33:
Even with the unlimited plans, T-mobile requires the tethering feature to be added. As was stated before, it's free until they catch it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h22aboi:
Tethering is extra on top of unlimited data.

Change your user agent on your computer to android, ie mobile, or iphone,etc etc and you are good to go.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danyune:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] excarnate:
Wireless tethering is included with the [MyTouch 4G] phone, per 2 T-Mobile reps, one who checked in to it after I told her what I had heard from the first. I asked her to annotate my record (case, ticket) Just In Case. 2 different reps said that tethering was not included, and was an extra cost. I didn't press them as I was calling about something unrelated.

I have tethered without charge and without problems before and after rooting/installing CM7. I don't tether much, but never hesitate when it is handy. My total usage is well under 5GB/month, FWIW.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel33:
They are right, but it's just like GM cars come included with ONstar but it'll cost you. There is no switch or button they can push to allow the tethering to continue after the message comes up unless you have the feature added. You can ask for supervisor, supervisor's supervisor, etc. but it's an automatic system programming. Before last December there was no tethering feature but it was also against the terms & conditions of T-mobile to tether and still is in there but now they have the feature.

Some people have found changing the user agent ID as a solution, don't know but using it regularly can definitely lead to the message and there's no options after that but to quit tethering or purchase the feature.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themarshal80:
I've been tethering for the past 2 weeks now because I just moved into a new place and haven't been able to switch my internet over just yet. I haven't seen any changes in my bill, nor recieved any text messages from T-Mobile regarding tethering charges. I'm using CM7 and no other tethering apps. I haven't changed any user agents except on my phone's browser, and I changed it from Android to desktop. So far I've used 33,152.81 Mb (a lot of netflix streaming) according to the T-Mobile website. :D Although I've been throttled, it's not too bad because I'm in a 4G area and still getting around 2 Mbps. :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themarshal80:
Yup. I pretty sure it's because I'm using CM7 and not the official stock app. Either way, this is just my temporary setup. Once I get my internet up and running I won't be tethering too much. It's nice to know that I can though.

Where do I find this TOS? Because like I mentioned before, I also use my tether everyday, and for hours! I dont get charged any tether fees. My data usage does go down hill though.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kalel33:
I'll tell you where I get my info, I'm a customer service rep for T-mobile and tethering is not free(or at least until they catch you). The Tethering and WIFI hotspot feature is $14.99 a month. You'll have it free until your account is caught. I've seen people using PDAnet and rooted get cut off(which they were pissed for paying $10 for the app and wanted T-mobile to reimburse them) and I've even seen a Nokia 5230 Nuron get caught and stopped. So even the Symbian OS and their tethering feature got caught by T-mobile.

There are people that have tethered for a long time and not been caught and there are people that only tethered for a month and were cut off. It's free as long as your account doesn't get scanned and it takes awhile to scan 33 million accounts and it can't be done all at once.

It's also in their terms and conditions which states: "Your Data Plan is intended for Web browsing, messaging, and similar activities on your Device and not on any other equipment. Unless explicitly permitted by your Data Plan, other uses, including for example, using your Device as a modem or tethering your Device to a personal computer or other hardware, are not permitted"

You can read it here and it's in number 10:

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
That's just ridiculous. Why in the hell will you add a service that you can just turn on and use but then again get charged for it after a while? If it ain't free, why let some one just turn it in and use it.

Also, why does it matter what device we are sharing data with, when its data that we're paying for?
