[T-Mobile LG G2x] royale192:
I wonder if the bug is affecting phones differently. My only problem is my dam wifi. Will not connect under any setting. When it does connect little to no data can be sent. Some else posted this also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Agreed.. I've been following that thread.. The first clue was "some apps came up missing". Then a confirmation, and then another... and then I bookmarked the thread and decided to have some patience.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Yes good idea me too!. You'll also notice a bunch of people saying it made no difference. So not even worth the risk IMHO!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
This just happened again to me. Did you have anything installed that checks location frequently? Shopkick maybe? Have you uninstalled any T-Mobile apps? I'm wondering what causes this since I don't remember having this problem before.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] computermilk:
you say follow this Procedure.. what procedure?

there's just a file to download from the OP.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
The only thing I'm aware of is Weatherbug, but it's been installed almost since I got the phone (I have it set to track my location).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
Um...that patch doesn't patch any kernel files therefore it won't do anything about crashing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lightning Blue:
Yeah I noticed this yesterday, navigation refused to start, and things were being klunky, a nice reboot fixed it up!

I notice after a few hours/days things like the add widget menu start lagging pretty bad.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icase81:
All the more reason to hope hope hope for CM7 with the quickness.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Do you still have Telenav installed? I removed it so not sure if maybe somehow it's related.

I have Shopkick installed, Weatherbug Elite, Beautiful Widgets which I all believe use network location services although none use GPS except Shopkick.

My guess is that the network location API has a bug and crashes so that's why GPS stops working because when it stops working, the GPS can still be turned off and on and apps report it's on but they don't get any response.

I don't use GPS often enough to know how long I've been having this problem. Apart from this, the slowness over time is the main thing I've noticed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pinbak:
I think weatherbug might be causing weird issues. Ever since I updated a few days ago, when I reboot my g2x and my nexus, I'll get a little box stating it cannot update my location. Altough it does update my location, lol! My GPS will still turn on though! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
I have not rooted as I didn't want the restoration hassle if I decided not to stick with this phone so yes, I do still have Telenav installed. My Weatherbug (free version) does turn GPS on to follow me.

After last nights GPS failure to start, the phone gave me fits late morning/early afternoon. I had no bars with an "x" and yet had a data connection (without 2G or 4G shown) at very slow speeds. Rebooted several times and had other similar odd behaviors.

At this point, I am giving serious consideration to ditching the phone before my 20 day trial is up and holding out for the SGS2. My TW Bionix running Vibrant works flawlessly with the single exception of flaky GPS. The big problem with SGS2 is the 4.3" screen...I really don't want a phone bigger than this so perhaps the MT4G might be a better choice.

Decisions...decisions...:rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluemoon737:
OK, now the re-boots are starting. My GPS once again failed to start tonight so I tried to toggle it and it wouldn't turn off/on. I also normally leave bluetooth on all the time and I tried turning it off as well and it wouldn't turn off. It finally did turn off and when trying to turn GPS and bluetooth back on the phone slowed WAY down then re-booted.

Greyblur should not have deleted Google Talk. If you have titanium backup installed, and backed up before installing greyblur, you can probably find it and restore it with that.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garoto1973:
Hi, I have never done a ROM install o used a Nook so I am educating myself on all the options while my new Nook arrives. While I read through XDA some questions have popped up:

1. If I want to keep my stock Nook GUI and I root it and install the Market and ADW or LP etc, will I loose my Nook's original interface or can I call it up? I might want to keep it to read magazines and for the children's books features.

2. Can I OC a stock noot (rooted)?

3. Can I have 1 and 2 and then create a bootable SD with Honeycomb? Would I be able to use the market there without confusing it with the installed apps in the stock . I mean , can I have apps installed on the internal SD and some of the same apps in the external SD for when I use HC.

Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsf3g:
1.- Yes, at least on OS version 1.1. This is how I have mine. Devs are still working on the OS 1.2 roots, but I see no reason why it won't work like that also when all is said and done.

2.- Not sure about this. I believe you need to install a new kernel, but I don't know if you can run the Nook's stock OS on top of an overclockable kernel. Also, I'm pretty new to the android scene, so I'm not sure what I've just said even makes sense.

3.- You can run a different OS off an SD card and keep the Nook Color itself stock. Honeycomb is not really ready for prime time, though, from what I've read.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garoto1973:
Hi. Thanks for your reply. Then for starters I think I will root it and keep it stock . I see that there is a manual nooter for 1.2 available now but they are still working on making it 100% reliable.

For the kicks I will make an sd dual boot with Phiremod with OC kernel and Honeycomb for which there is a thread around.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barmanham:
I copyed most stuff from the sdcard already but for some reason I cant complete the rest of it the USB storage mode keeps shuting off while copying then it stops never had these problems before can it be because im using windows 7 now I just upgraded not long ago so im thinking that might be a issue I flashed back to stock that didnt work either

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endurance1:
I couldent really find anything via search, so i was wondering if anyone knew how to get rid of the activation screen on the epic or hacktivate it somehow.

Story: My epic broke and i got a new one through warranty but they sent me 2 of them by mistake (and im not telling them). So the one i never used (or activated) im going to use on boost mobile and i dont know if it will be a problem since i never activated it through sprint.

Ive got as far as deleting the SprintAndroidExtention.apk and that seemed to have removed the entire "hands free activation" thing accept when i navigate to settings>About ... then the activation thing pops up again till i restart the phone. Does anyone know if what i did fixed the problem? Also does anyone know if having a non activated phone will cause a problem with flashing it to boost?

thanks for the help!

edit: if i broke any forums rules talking about porting the epic to boost please just let me know so i can remove the thread. thanks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtuansdiamm:
I dont think thats against the rules but talking about comitting a crime like stealing or piracy is.

Not telling them u got two might be considered stealing not that i care.

I reccomed u search the word boost on these fourms or check the wiki. I would like to tell you how to do it my self but since i was always on sprint i cant tell u
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endurance1:
thanks for the reply. I did about a whole hour of searching and i think i found my answer....

Has anyone tried hardware modding to boot into general purpose mode?
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
What exactly are you trying to do here? Do you mean get into the bootloader?
[Droid X General] Master Melab:
They say that the OMAP3630 boots into secure mode and booting into general purpose mod would allow for custom kernels. I tried to get documentation for the processor from TI but I'd have to be a high-volume OEM to do so.
[Droid X General] Jmoney47:
That sounds like a good idea if you could get it to work. Go for it :)
[Droid X General] chbennett:
Please keep us posted. This would be great. It would be kinda hard, but if you can't find a way around justifying yourself as a high volume OEM, I would suggest some slide of hand......

[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
I've read that rooting with Gingerbreak works with the latest update, but also might erase the internal storage. Exactly what part of the internal storage might be erased? EVERYTHING, or just installed apps, ringtones, music, etc...?
[Atrix 4G General] rboone18:
Anything on internal storage, if u click on app files and go to internal storage anything there, so if u don't put apps on sd ur fine but some of its files it saves will be gone
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
So... basically my best bet would be to make a copy of everything i can onto my computer before attempting the root?
[Atrix 4G General] rboone18:
Yes
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
And..... another question. Is a microSD card actually required for it, or no?
[Atrix 4G General] rboone18:
I never remove my sd so I am not sure
[Atrix 4G General] squassss:
Yes an external SD card is required. You will be prompted to have one when you first install gingerbreak. I had to go out and buy one.

Sent from my Evo runnin Cm7 Windows Phone...
[Nook Color General] gedster314:
Don't pay extra because it has CM7 is on it. Installing CM7 is almost trivial now days. Going back to stock can be pain, not because it's difficult but because there are so many different tutorials and its confusing.

I would say skip it and buy one so you can hack it and learn. I wouldn't hesitate if the CM7 one is a good deal. You can pick up refurbed NCs for about $200 on line. If there is an issue with a refurb BN is pretty good about replacing it.
[Nook Color General] nukeruss:
If it works good and looks good it should be fine. Read developers posts to set up the way you want. You can even put it back to stock if you want.
[Nook Color General] findmike:
Someone smarter than I can probably give more details on this but I'm not sure it's a good idea to buy it with CM7 already installed. It might seem like a time saver but when I was playing with my girlfriends NC I wiped, cleared, did a bunch of stuff and when I went back to stock it would only let me register it with the ORIGINAL email and password. To put it another way, if they did not de-register the device before installing CM7 going back to stock will be (in my experience) a real pain in the neck since you have to have that original info to clear BN's opening screens and be able to attach the device to your email / account. There might be some simple way around this but I don't recall seeing it mentioned in the threads I've read. Personally I would rather buy one that is stock so I can just go in and click de-register and know it's done rather than have someone tell me it was and not know if they remembered things accurately. I'm sure a call to BN would eventually fix it but that's not much fun.
[Nook Color General] Negrito:
Thanks for the info.

Supposed to meet up tomorrow. Hope it goes smoothly. I been trying to find one for a while, but $250 is more than I can spend right now or I'd just get a brand new one.

[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
I'll give you first hand why you should be wary of Craig's list with CM7.

Here's the 'scam' that's being run - these guys get a bad credit card or a bad check or whatever and buy the nook. Or maybe they just swipe one. As soon as B&N finds out, with a report from a store or from the stolen credit card, they blacklist the device. The actual device serial number is on the receipts, so they can do this.

Now, what that means is that you can't register the NC, no matter how hard you try. B&N won't unblacklist it, even if you're the "unknowing victim" here. If you're running CM7, no big deal. But if you want to run stock, you would have issues. And that's if you can live with having stolen merchandise.

After getting rooked like this, I just ask for the device serial number. If they're legit, they should have no problems giving it to you. Then just call up B&N and tell them you're buying a used Nook and you want to make sure that it's legit. They'll be able to tell you when and where it was purchased (by store #, but you can look that up) and whether it is blacklisted or not.

I had one someone was was selling one "New in the box" for $200. It was purchased in Atlanta on Friday and on Craig's list on Tuesday, 750 miles away. I don't think they realized what I would do with the serial number, but once I saw that, I knew it was a scam - why would anyone take a $50 loss on an unopened Nook 4 days after buying it?

Anyway, that's what to look for, be worried about, and how to allay your concerns, if you have any.
[Nook Color General] boxcar8028:
BTW make sure there's a sdcard. 2GB at least.
[Nook Color General] Negrito:
I got the serial number without a fuss, called B an N, but they just gave me the run around... what number did you call? I used 1-800-the-book....

Sent from my Evo runnin Cm7 Windows Phone...
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
I think the first time I had to call them I used the-book and then they gave me another number at one point, but they should have been able to help you. I had no problems at all - called 3 different times and got answers and info.
[Nook Color General] skeeterpro:
Check eBay. Using PayPal can give you some protection and save some $$ sometimes. I got one used for $190 (stock) just to play with keeping the other stable.
[Nook Color General] Fekish:
i am thinking of getting one, refurbished or used, but i am worried if there would be any problems with it.... and the biggest issue is that i live in Europe!
[Nook Color General] skeeterpro:
Not entirely sure what the challenges would be other than power connections, Market access and possibly wifi protocols. I've read in Canada Google Apps shows different apps than here in USA so that might be applicable there. Not sure. I would definately check the power/recharge specs though. I'm sure there are other more knowledgable on this than I here who can chime in.
[Nook Color General] Fekish:
As we are not concerned about connecting to a Network, i dont think there should be any other issue. We are on Android, so connecting to a Market should be something easy to overcome! :)
[Nook Color General] eneloop:
Watch out on ebay sometimes you will find devices from european sellers for fair pricing, buy from oversea and you maybe make no advantage of the better price due custom duty :confused:

There are none other problems, get an power adapter and that's it, yeah it's true some apps are only accessable on the market with US based IP adress.

Fry's is crap. I've been trying since Tuesday.

The online website would say it's in stock (anaheim and sometimes ventura/city of industry/fountain valley).

I call, they say "i think we have one, please hold".... they come back and say "sorry no".

Website for HOURS still say it's available in store.

I place multiple orders for store pickup at those stores.

10 minutes later get an email saying it's not in stock and will be cancelled.

I live 45 minutes away from a Fry's (Anaheim and City of Industry), so I can't just go and check I need them to hold one for me.

Also being Fry's... I would not be surprised if these units are returned by customers and they put it back into the system. That's why it keeps popping up as available.

wow, sorry that you have to make a huge effort to own a tablet. Anyway, it looks like you finally got one at fry's. It is a great device and it will make all the troubles worth it.

Hi, im sure this has been covered before in other posts, but, could someone tell me, if i were to use the above method to downgrade and root etc, would this prevent me from doing an official upgrade, to, say gingerbread in the near future? Also is there any real benefits to going to gingerbread? I ask as im sure ive read somewhere its only possible to flash to cooked roms, not official ones (once downgraded and rooted etc).. this would concern me as ive moved over from win mo to android, and in my experiance, EVERY cooked unoficial rom i ever flashed (xperia x1) was simply rubbish, and i tried alot of them. (Even though people would say the roms would be fine, bugs smoothed out etc), i went back to stock in the end after constant dissapointment.

Sorry for the rant, just need to know where i stand.. thanks people..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Aegishua:
It is pretty difficult to go back to stock updates from your carrier for example Vodafone. This is because of the unique CIDs used and the fact that it is extremely hard to find a stock ROM since no one can give you a NANDROID backup.

Anyways, there are numerous benefits to rooting your phone included with most ROMs. These benefits include longer battery life, faster ROMs & various other things depending on each chef.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jmpcrx:
Ok, thanks, but are the roms buggy at all, will some of the hardware not work properly, or will i have freezing probs etc, as i found this always to be the case with win mo roms?.. have you personally found a rom that works perfectly that includes htc sense? As i do like the UI..

My goal is to have all security off, full perm root, with a perfecly working sense rom that i can then overclock to a speed that works well with my particular phone, and to underclock when idle etc..

Thanks..
