[Desire HD General] Andy:
I've heard of those issues before with 1.72/74 but not 1.84.

Have you tried a factory reset?
[Desire HD General] aniketsharma9865:
i did....bt m trying once more.....lets c what happens aftr it...
[Desire HD General] aniketsharma9865:
the problem seems to be there only...nothing changed...even after factory reset...my contacts and sms are there....applications are downloaded again...and its giving me the option to link contact...when i likn them its like 8-9 same contact in one......i think factory reset doesnt make it new...what can be done now??
[Desire HD General] Mash23:
For the SMS problem use a non-stock sms app. Download GoSMS Pro or Handcent SMS. Do not uninstall the stock app but just take out the notification from stock app. I'm using GoSMS and it's better than stock IMO. You can for example backup your SMS to sd with it.

You could also try to use another dialer to correct the call problem. Go Dev team has also Go Contacts that provides you with Go Dialer. I'm using these also ;)

For the contact thing. Have you tried to take off the Syncing of contacts from Accounts&Syncing?
[Desire HD General] uros0104:
Have you thought about installing a custom rom? There's nothing wrong with your phone, those are plain software issues...
[Desire HD General] aniketsharma9865:
well i dont want to install any custom rom...ill spent a whole day in rooting it thn a new update is gonna be available very soon...thn again ill come to custom rom...that seems to b a complete waste of time...
[Desire HD General] JSLEnterprises:
I had the same issue with the contacts, but once I deleted the duplicates (and not transferring from the old phone since they were already backed up on my google account)

select to view and take off SIM contacts. clears up a lot of the duplicates issues.

Search sms time fix in the market, when installed set it to use phone's time.

fixes the issue. The new 2.36 ruu doesnt fix the time issue.
[Desire HD General] RichieRuss:
The DHD will try to merge all your contacts from all your linked accounts. I had a similar problem as HTC Sense for Facebook and Twitter will run alongside the Facebook and Twitter apps. You need to check sync to make sure you don't duplicate accounts. Remove the duplicate accounts could help your problem.

[Xperia Arc General] svenvaeth:
Hey guys,

couldn't find any help in other topics and threads here, so I decided to open a new one.

There is Navigon select installed on my arc.

How can I remove this? And anyway, how can I remove software that was pre-installed on my phone?

Thanks for your help.

Sven
[Xperia Arc General] PollPixx:
Root your phone, get titanium backup for example and delete the pre installed apps you don't use.
[Nook Color General] Budget Build:
I am about to purchase this Nook Color. I have tried to search this page about rooting but to be honest I am a little confused and I was hoping someone could produce a quick, and direct answer. Thanks in advance guys!

houston.craigslist.org/ele/2350488629.html

Is this a good deal or no? It is the only rooted one i can find.

Can a rooted Nook run full Android Market? (IE email, youtube, urban spoon, games like angry birds and other android games.)

Can a rooted Nook be updateable to the new Android Honey Comb? because that is what i really want.

And WTF is CM7? LOL

Thanks for the help guys.
[Nook Color General] bassett:
Quick lesson: Rooting is the process of gaining/expanding administrative privileges on your device (getting access to the "root" level of your device, if you will). Afterwards, you can install other operating systems (Android Gingerbread, etc.), perform tweaks, modify settings, etc., that can't be done on an un-rooted device.

I would pay the extra $25 for a brand new one (Staples, Best Buy, etc.). Being already rooted has minimal value, quite frankly. That said, it requires you to be patient and learn a bit about the process. Information about rooting your Nook can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872003

"CM7" is firmware from "CyanogenMod". See this link: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/. CyanogenMod "is an aftermarket firmware for a number of cell phones based on the open-source Android operating system. It offers features not found in the official Android based firmwares of vendors of these cell phones." More info here specific to the Nook Color: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=960542

Yes, Nook can run market. See first link above.

[Nook Color General] Budget Build:
is there a how-to write up for dummies?

also do i understand it correctly that a Honey Comb root is not yet fully developed?
[Nook Color General] bassett:
Did you work your way through the links I provided above? Several step-by-step tutorials in those threads.
[Nook Color General] hockeyfamily737:
There is not a fully functioning version of Honey Comb available yet...that is correct, however CM7 is very fast & stable with no major glitches. Here is another link to yet another rooting guide. This is the easiest way to root your Nook, short of me actually mailing you my SD card.....FYI, Bassett is correct. There would be no benefit to you buying an already rooted Nook. It would just set you up for future failure. Rooted devices require a degree of maintenance and an understanding of how they work & what you are doing when you "flash" something.
[Nook Color General] ExploreMN:
There is like a 12 step guide on here too (which I cannot understand why it isn't a sticky...but still) and it worked quickly an easily. Format the SD card with a handy image with links provided, copy a couple of files to it, boot the Nook and watch the magic happen. It really doesn't get much more simple than that.

I think my NC was up and running with the latest nightly build of CM7 in what...5 minutes? Maybe 10?
[Nook Color General] Deaks2:
The entire experience is documented here: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/guid...or-to-transform-it-into-an-android-tablet.ars
[Nook Color General] richdaley:
This is a good basic article but it is getting a little long in the tooth. CM is a mature firmware that was developed for phones long before the Nook was a glimmer in some textbook's eye and CM7 is incredible on the Nook. Also, the processor in the Nook is the same as the Galaxy Tab and the Archos 70 (which I also have owned). The difference is that B&N clocked the processor at 800 mhz to conserve battery life but it can now be clocked up to 1.3 Ghz.

Articles like this always warn people that they are going to void their warranty but I have had numerous Android handsets and on occasion had to unroot to send one back for warranty work with no problems.

Also, rooting the Nook Color carries an extremely minimal chance of bricking because the device checks the sd card for a boot image before it boots the internal image. This means that even if you jack up the internal storage, you can always boot recovery from the sd card and reinstall. You notice that compared to the phone forums, you almost never see threads like "help! I think I bricked my Nook." It is similar to a PC. If you are installing Windows or Linux on a PC and you screw it up, you can always boot from a CD or floppy and start over.

Honeycomb for the Nook Color is built on the preview image that was included in the software development kit which didn't include the Android source code. The fact that it was ported to the Nook is just short of a miracle. I had it running on my Nook for a long time as my daily driver. I liked it because when the first ROMs were coming out, they had to use the softkeys app or the first CM builds had a back arrow in the notification bar because the Nook only had one button. Honeycomb is built to use on devices with no buttons so it is a better fit especially for my chubby fingers). To be honest, most of the problems I had with Honeycomb were the same problems owners of the Xoom have had with the OS (certain apps not working etc). By the way, CM7 did away with soft buttons by including "tablet tweaks" which moves the notification bar to the bottom and included customizable buttons that are similar to Honeycomb. CM7 also has bluetooth working (the device had a dormant bluetooth chip).

Sorry for the novel. Just my 2 cents.
[Nook Color General] dung8604:
There is an EXCELLENT how to video on YouTube. Just search how to install cm7 in nook color. That's how I learned. Additionally, there is a stock rom by Samuelhaff that allows you to reset everything if you mess up ( by formatting boot in clockwork like I did). This device is almost impossible to brick because it has a priority to boot from Sd card if the SD card has a boot image. Therefore, you could screw up everything throughout the install process and just keep a recovery card handy with clockwork and stock rom on it.

Edit: sorry rich, I should read more before repeating your work :-P

Just wait for another tablet if you cant figure out how to root or dont want to figure things out do to time because by summer (July) there will be some wide selection of honeycomb tablets that you will be satified with . btw I have a nook stock rooted manual nooter 4.5 but it takes work ...not much ... but better off having something that works out the box if you dont wanna be a geek.
[Nook Color General] excarnate:
I clicked the Thanks button, not just because of the overall excellence of your reply to the OP, but because of the comment on the warranty.

It makes me a bit nutty when someone who has clearly never read the warranty claims it is void if you root (or install alternate software on) your device. I've so far checked the Droid X, MyTouch 4G, and Nook Color warranties, and they all cover the hardware only. Good luck getting a warranty on any consumer software!

The Nook Color warranty isn't the best (only to the original purchaser? WTF?) and isn't a model of clarity (it almost seems that modifying the software can ruin the warrenty) but they are clear that For purposes of this Limited Warranty, "NOOK" means only the hardware comprising: (i) your NOOK or NOOKcolor eReader unit; and (ii) the peripherals included in the packaging with your NOOK or NOOKcolor. and This Limited Warranty applies to your NOOK only (i.e., the hardware), and not to the software within your NOOK.

So go crazy (i.e. follow the directions carefully), but keep in mind that there is a difference between support (they'll help you with it) and warranty (defective hardware is repaired or replaced). Of course this site takes care of support quite well.
[Nook Color General] richdaley:
Thanks for the thanks! You are right and I hadn't even thought of it that way because I usually don't read the warranty either. People do confuse support and warranty. My thinking is that if a company isn't going to support their hardware because I have modified the firmware or just generally jerk me around, I will never buy a product made by them again. So far, we have had 4 HTC devices and they have replaced two for my wife who is a perfectionist when it comes to these things. They always attempt and fail to fix the problem over the phone (are you sure you are holding the hone right side up?) and then replace it without any other questions.

It has been my experience that the good companies don't really care that much. It is cheaper just to send you another device than try to figure out if you have made any changes. They would probably reject it if it had a bunch of solder on it but otherwise they probably just throw it in the refurb bin and send you another one. They refurb yours and send it to some other schmuck. It is the circle of life.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
The only problem, is that it is not outside the realm of possibility for a B&N rep to claim that modifications made to the software made the hardware run in ways not intended, thereby voiding the hardware warranty (and technically, they could have a point, since we have activated dis-activated hardware (bluetooth), and run other pieces out of spec (CPU, DSP).

Lets say the CPU dies/malfunctions, and they see that you are running an overclocked kernel. Can they (or even you) say that the CPU would have malfunctioned regardless of the overclock? Can they honor warranty on parts run outside of spec? AMD, Intel, and nVidia do not warranty their hardware after an overclock, because again, you cant prove that the OC didn't kill anything.

Am i on B&N's side? Not totally. the other side of the coin, is the likelihood that your changes cause the hardware to fail.. in most cases, an overclock will only speed up a failure that would have otherwise happened, but taken longer. Only extreme clocks will instantly fry chips, and we aren't there yet. And of course, in if you wipe your software, B&N cannot prove anyway that you have overclocked things.

Thus in the end, it comes down to what is provable. Unless you give B&N good reason to think that you were overclocking or using disabled hardware, the warranty should be fine. But keep in mind, that if things die, and you can't clear the evidence, they do have a very reasonable right to but the blame on you and void any warranty.

Hi all,

Well, I am getting a bike mount for my Streak this weekend.

I roam about a lot in the city on my bike now! ( and I get lost a lot too! new city :) .. )

so, I was thinking.

So whats one good Navigation software that has:

Voice navigation (optional)

Turn by turn directions (required in text atleast!)

Offline maps (must!)

<GPS assist is must! for the accuracy..>

City road maps (e.g. Bangalore, India)​

Please suggest.

(Offline maps to ensure min battery usage..)

Thanks,

Not sure if CoPilot is in your area, but it works quite well here in north america. I attempted to use it in Mexico, and the results were less than stellar.

A free option is Navit, which can work alongside with Google Maps, so you can get a starting and end point that works. Navit's maps are all on SD. It's a work in progress but does include TTS.

Where can I find tablet-specific apps when running Honeycomb Preview 4 on NookColor? I have the Market installed as part of the HoneyGApps suite, but I can't seem to find any tablet-specific apps. Even GMail looks the same as it does on Froyo. Aren't things supposed to be laid out different?

You can stop waiting. Google has said they will not release the source code so Honeycomb will never be truly completed. You can switch to Gingerbread or wait until the fall when supposedly Ice Cream Sandwich will be out.

Hello all,

Today, I noticed that 2 icons ( "G" & "E" ) are appearing at the notification area.

Not both of them simultaneously but alternately the one appears and the other not..

Sometimes the the arrows are white and sometimes not.. :S

The software version is 2.29.405.5 (stock software but rooted).

When I saw the G(GPRS sign) I thought a MMS must be coming..but after 4 hours nothing has been received.

I have restarted the phone several times but still the same.

I have never used a GPRS connection to connect to the internet, I always use Wifi.

And I haven't installed new apps, in case some of them was using GPRS connection..

What is wrong with it?

I was trying to change mountpoints for my external sd / internal sd in cm7.

i rebooted it and got stuck in boot screen, i pulled my battery and wiped in Recovery.

Now the fun part, it wont even try to load Android...

I already tried install CM7 again, but i only gets E:Can't mount /cache etc, etc

No problem, i just use LG firmware upgrade mode... (The ugly yellow logo with Upgrading S/W Please wait) Clockwork loads..

Well, not so fun, but i need to use baseband flash instead. NOTHING happens!
