[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
Okay i see people posting over 14.4Mbps download which should be impossible. The G2x only supports a theoretical max download speed of 14.4Mbps. This makes no sense and it makes me doubt the accuracy of the speedtest.net app.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
PhoneArena has incorrect specs. Many sites reported incorrectly that the G2x has up to 42Mbps b/c of an unclear press release from T-Mobile a while back. Since then T-Mobile has come out to say that it's limited to 14.4Mbps. I'll try to find the link...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
Yep, the MyTouch 4G only supports up to 14.4Mbps as well.

Currently the only faster download phone is the Samsung Galaxy S 4G which supports up to 21Mbps download speed.

And there are no phones yet that can take advantage of the upgraded 42Mbps towers.

So take those speedtest.net results with a grain of salt, disregard anything over 14.4Mbps, and take multiple tests and average.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
Does anyone know how much data this app uses during one of the tests?

I have some very large downloads being shown in my data usage history on the Tmobile website when I haven't downloaded anything like that to my phone.

Some are 80Mb and a couple are over 100.

Could using this app be causing that much data usage?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RevenG:
12 megs in Denver at work. Not nearly a fast at home.

I believe that it actually supports 21mbps like the Galaxy S 4G. Gsmarena.com shows both the 2x and the G2x as 21mbps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mapin0518:
GSM arena is wrong unfortunately. The G2x only supports up to 14.4Mbps.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warder52:
I'm running B&N 1.2 rooted with ManualNooter 4.4.28 and I saw a couple posts where people said they dropped some apks into their system/app folders to install apps that wouldn't install from the market. When I plugged my Nook into the computer, I don't have access to the system folder in order to copy the apk over. I tried just putting it on the sd card and using the Astro file manager and the ES file explorer to copy and paste into that folder, but it won't let me. What do I need to do in order to do that?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ylixir:
You need to remount the /system as read/write, it's read-only by default.

You'll probably need a terminal emulator, or preferably get adb setup. A little googling of the "mount" command and/or adb should get you there.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warder52:
Thanx for the info. I installed adb and got it working with my Nook now. Remounting the /system was easy after i searched for the command to use.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skgtheblij:
Hey i'm having trouble with something similar. A real challenge though, as I have 1) no non-adhoc wireless network 2) no genuine nook cable so ADB is not an option. I need to get access to the file system so I can apply the Ad-hoc fix, but I can't find any way to do so without a file manager, and I can't find a way to install an apk without ADB or market. (i'm running 1.2 rooted) Any genius ideas would be much appreciated!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siddhantfriends:
Search "SU File Manager & Terminal" on Android Market. It's the best app working till now. It has "Mount System/Data RW" option, makes it easier to mount the partitions as RW without executing any commands and copy the APKs from SD card to any System or Data partitions.

It has quick option to mount the partitions as RO.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chibucks:
Do you have any microUSB cable that you can connect to a computer with? You don't need the genuine cable... if you don't have market, and can't install any apks via terminal/connectbot or ADB, then i'm not sure what you can do...

edit: maybe you could dual boot CWM and go through that to install files?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skgtheblij:
Thanks for the reply. I've tried a micro USB cable but it didn't seem to recognize the NC, and in 1.2 there was no notification that USB was connected. Perhaps I have something wrong with my USB port? Also, I don't really know how I would install files through CWM; I have it on SD, which is how I've been making changes. Could you point me in the right direction on that?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Those using Root Explorer, I'm running CM7 from an SD card using verygreen's method, but don't have any SD reader other than the NC, so I can't install gapps/market. I have sideloaded Root Explorer, but can't find anywhere to drop the gapps...zip where it will install on a recovery boot. I don't even have a way to format my one-and-only SD card to attempt a root of the stock OS and get more functionality out of CWM.

I don't mean to thread-hijack, but it seems quite related, and I can't post in the dev forum yet.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
The gapps.zip is what U need?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
The specific package is gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip, for CM7 7.0.2. I have the file, and normally you would use a PC to drop it in the SD card's boot partition, but like I said, the only means I have of getting at the SD is over USB to the Nook, and I can't access the boot partition that way. I'm wondering if I can reach the boot partition via Root Explorer, or is it totally off limits while CM7 is running off the SD?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RASTAVIPER:
I think with changing read/write U can do this with Root Explorer.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chibucks:
yeah, i haven't played any with CWM / sdcard boots, so i'm no help. sorry...

as for the micro USB cable and such - i'm using a generic one, which is working. is it not even reading as a storage device? have you tried removing and reinstalling the drivers? do you have nook color tools installed so that you can toggle 'debugging'?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
I'll try to clarify:

1) Running CM7.0.2 from SD, will the SD card's boot partition be visible in Root Explorer?

2) If so, in what specific directory do I need to place the zip file for the system to recognize and install it on a recovery boot?

Perhaps I'll start a more specific thread on the matter. If I end up having to get a card reader, so be it, but I've overspent my gadget allowance for at least a week or two, so I'm trying to get as far as possible with what I have. I do have the Amazon app store set up, and even minus the Google market, CM7 is preferable to stock.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
In case anyone is interested, I found a simple solution: CMW. Verygreen's SD-install allows you to flash CMW to the Nook's eMMC without affecting the stock OS, and from CMW you can mount the SD card with USB plugged in and Windows will see the boot partition. I initially wanted to get CMW on the NC without rooting, anyway, so things worked out perfectly :D
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ylixir:
That's a terrible idea. Installing CMW to the NC internal memory wipes the nooks built-in recovery. Getting CMW on an sd card is very simple, more functional, and can even be installed alongside verygreen's setup.

Better yet every person who doesn't do this is one less person showing up on the forums going "omg, i messed up and now my nook won't boot, it just keeps going to CMW."
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Any elaboration on why it's a terrible idea to replace the NC's built-in recovery with something more full-featured? It's advised or assumed in pretty much any dev thread for writing any ROM to eMMC, except most of them say "root first," which appears unnecessary. I did think I'd wiped the stock OS at first, but basically decided to deal with it later and finished installing gapps, after which the stock OS suddenly reappeared. It was perplexing, but after some more fiddling, I puzzled out the boot behavior and it is consistent:

1) power on with SD card inserted, and I get CM7.0.2.

2) hold home (n) key and power on with SD card inserted, and ROM Manager will check for new ROMs/zips.

3) power on with SD card ejected (not necessarily removed) and I get stock 1.2.

4) hold home (n) key and power on with SD card ejected, and I get CWM

I'm new to all of this, so I welcome feedback, but "It's bad, mmkay?" doesn't go far. Will having CWM in place of "factory mode" cause instability? Would a CWM install on the SD allow me to mount the SD boot part to USB? Why do we all keep wanting to write it "CMW?"

:confused:
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ylixir:
@taosaur

It's actually kind of a pet peeve of mine, along with the root first mentality you mentioned.

It won't cause instability, but it locks you out of doing a factory reset, and can lock you into recovery mode.

If things go wrong, you can't reset your device, can't get out of a bootcount induced bootloop, can't (in theory) take it in for warranty, etc.

Honestly it's the easiest thing in the world to switch between the two, or just fix the problems from cwm--

if you know what you are doing

. BUT!

I really can't count how many threads I've seen with people who've installed clockworkmod and have run into issues and have absolutely no idea what to do. They are just screwed and pissed off (rightly so) because they read somewhere that they needed CWM. Which they didn't. And now none of the howtos for fixing it work because they just have CWM, not the stock recovery mode...

And really there is no reason whatsoever to do this to begin with. I mean in order to get CWM on your nook, you have to have a spare sd card, and you have to know how to burn an image. So why not just make an sd with CWM and save the headache, keep the builtin functionality, not worry about getting locked into recovery mode, and still have all the benefits of CWM?

Maybe i should do a writeup howto on how to add CWM to the size-agnostic cards....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taosaur:
Would CWM's "factory reset" option only wipe the data in the stock OS, then, and not restore the old recovery? I see where you're coming from--obviously there's value in keeping idiotproof recovery on the table, and why risk your warranty if you're running from external media anyway? But again, the original problem that CWM solved for me was getting the gapps package into the SD card's boot partition. I had 1 card and 0 card readers at my disposal. Would CWM have been able to mount the SD card's boot partition if it were installed to the card itself?

I would definitely be interested to learn how to integrate CWM into one of verygreen's "size-agnostic" cards, especially if it would still be able to mount the CM7 boot partition over USB. As is, Flash CWM installs on eMMC by default, and the Boot to Recovery commands within CM7 don't work from SD--they just reboot.

I used TMobile and so I can only use 5 gb of data per month.

When I'm at work I like to listen to sermons that broadcast with flash from this website. This kills my data usage. Is there a browser that can somehow lesson the quality of the stream so the data usage is less? I don't care about the visual quality, I'm mainly just listening.

I use skyfire which does save on bandwith for flash, but it doesn't have a pause button and I often have to pause for stuff at work.

[Thunderbolt General] wrb123:
i had my thunderbolt set to wifi which i hardly ever do, left my house, and made a phone call using google voice while going for a walk. after i hung up, i noticed i had never turned mobile data back on. so, how did google voice handle my call half a mile from home without the verizon network? did it somehow switch seamlessly from wifi to mobile data without me agreeing to turn mobile data on?, just curious.
[Thunderbolt General] psufan5:
Google voice isnt VOIP... its using your cell signal, not your data. It does use a few packets to initiate the call over a data network, but after that, its using your minutes and your cell connection. The only real benefit for your average user is free text messaging (no mms) and visual voicemail for free. Its the same as using your cellphone otherwise, with far worse call quality.
[Thunderbolt General] johnchad14:
if it's using cell connection, why would call quality be any different? I have only recently started using voice to dial out on calls and haven't really noticed a difference.
[Thunderbolt General] necosino:
There is no difference. Whether you are on WiFi or not, it still uses regular Verizon cell network as though you dialed the call normally. It still uses your minutes and doesn't use data.
[Thunderbolt General] mike.s:
Because you're going through more hops, which means more transcoding and latency.
[Thunderbolt General] wrb123:
hmm seems like the quality is fine to me... its not like im calling into a recording studio to lay down the vocals for my next track anyway.

the real question is more about how google voice can just turn my mobile data on without asking me when i turned it off, whereas something like google maps has to prompt me every time to turn gps on. it would be nice if google maps could just remember my preference "yes, its okay to enable gps when i launch maps/navigation or click to show my location" rather than being sent to the location settings from maps every time :(
[Thunderbolt General] johnchad14:
I'd heard about lower quality on voice calls but just haven't experienced it. Is the call still connecting through a third party between callers these days? My understanding was callers are connected by the service but once connection is established they are directly connected. Would be curious to know the technical details
[Thunderbolt General] trikotret:
You mean you are getting free text messages with GV? It doesnt count towards your text mesaging plan
[Thunderbolt General] TsaiKimon:
Most of you are misunderstanding the GV service. Quality is the same, because you your "voice" is not being re-encoded, altered, or even rerouted in any way. All the Google voice service does is accept/make calls then hand them off. Just like calling a secretary and them transferring you to another office. Your GV number is the secretary, when someone calls it it informs all your phones that someone wants to talk to you and when you pick one up it "transfers" the call to you on that phone. Just as if they directly called you. Absolutely no difference. This is not voip, like skype, vonage, etc.
[Thunderbolt General] wrb123:
yep, but google voice can't handle picture messaging. i just told everyone, hey... can't get picture messages anymore. post stuff on facebook or email it to me. awesome to be able to save $10 or so a month doing this on verizon. on sprint they don't let you decline text messaging on a smartphone plan that im aware of, so it doesn't matter on sprint. very happy with verizon on this issue!
