[Nook Color General] Jgrimoldy:
Indeed. Everywhere I turn, I'm seeing more and more cr@ptacular tablets that are either running an old version of Android, have paltry memory, low res, horrible battery life, etc. Often times, it's a combination of ALL of these things. DealExtreme carries several pretty horrible tablets.

Innosia: That sucks that the nook isn't satisfying your needs. I can understand your frustration. What are you expecting by whining about it here? Do you want us to pass the plate around to fund a replacement for you? The only thing you're going to get, particularly here, is a lot of indignation. Again, that sucks that it doesn't do what you need it to do. Sell the damned thing on eBay or Craigslist before it declines further in value and buy yourself something that suits your needs.
[Nook Color General] john10101:
I dont really see what the big deal is, reencode the videos. Itunes does that for IPOD/ipad devices, why cant you do that for the nook? Are you just saying your too lazy to use a template and reencode some videos you want to watch?

The nook was never marketed for its multimedia skills. The fact that it has a hw decoder at all, is pretty lucky. for 250 its the best device i found out there. it does everything i would want out of it. If i wanted more, i would have bought an IPAD.
[Nook Color General] innosia:
I am not rich and I already cheated to buy nook and not able to afford a new tablet unless selling this one, I am not whining or trolling, what I am trying to point out here is for newbie who want to buy nook color, hopes they dont fall to the trap in buying nook color if they need playing video. I am just warning them, so they can use their money wisely. Be careful for B&N over expensive e-reader sales team
[Nook Color General] wpnyc2009:
What were you expecting from a hack eReader?

Be serious. Its an ereader. All the rest is gravy. Whatever else you can do with it (besides read books) is awesome. Stop whining long enough to understand what you DID buy and what you DIDN'T buy. When you recognize the absolute awesomeness of what you bought has become you'll thank these fine folks for all their hard work.

Thanks everyone for all the hard work, done on your own time, for nothing in return.

I really appreciate it! Cheers m8s.
[Nook Color General] ebubar:
It sounds like you want a video-player more than a tablet. I'm wondering why you would come on here to post about how bad the NC is for your purposes? From all the posts I read it seems like you could easily read on here about what video types work and how to get them working smoothly. If you want something working out of the box, then return the nook and get it. If you want to fiddle with the thing until things work, then keep the NC. Simple
[Nook Color General] akarol:
Sell it on eBay for about as much as you bought it for. They're still going for pretty high.
[Nook Color General] Chasmodai:
As has already been pointed out, re-encoding the video into an appropriate format does wonders for allowing it to play properly on the non-multimedia optimized nook.

FWIW, I've also noticed that different players have better luck with different formats. I currently have 3 video players installed (yx, Vital, and QQ) and have found that one of them will almost always properly play any of the couple hundred video's I already have on my media server.

Between iPhones, Xbox, Samsung Galaxy Tab, and some random other netbooks and devices, I've gotten a lot of experience at getting video to work on a lot of platforms. It would be great if AirVideo decided to do an Android client.

Hey again guys.

Well my phone started acting up today, wouldn't get signal, so on and forth so i rebooted it but it got stuck in a boot loop.

I tried reflashing a sbf file ( US 3.4.3 - 11) but it's still doing the same.

Could anyone give me a hand? I'd really appreciate it

Thanks

This is not a question but something i wanted to share. Since i haven't posted much I couldnt post in the sd Android development section so im posting what i discovered here. I have Magdlr 1.13 installed and im using the sd/Magdlr MIUI 1.4.29.2.3.3. So i went to update it with the english lang pack and got an idea. Since the updater script copies the package dir to system/system i didnt have to alter the script. I added a lib folder under system and put the libtalk_jni.so in there and renamed talk2 to talk from the Talk_with AV zip. turned on my HD2 and had gtalk w AV. i havent tested the video chat to see if it works since no one around i know has this featured kind of phone but the gtalk messaging works great. Im new around this area but I have a few mods for the Cliq. Apps2sd series for HandlerExploits Vanilla W/Eclair, and Motoruler series for Motoblur. Also cliq xt ports to Cliq with flashlite enabled in the browser ADLxFLASHL2TE series, and MM_CLIQ.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desireMofo:
yo im a noob at this so dont judge xD i was on cm7.2 rom but wifi on that was really unstable, i changed my router to WPA(TKIP) and i tried WPA2(AES) and mixed but still unstable, then i tried oxygen and it worked ( but i prefair cm7.2 in my case)

and with oxygen im getting wifi where i never got with cm7.2 :s soo whats the deal?

thanks in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meaple:
Try changing the wireless channel.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desireMofo:
of the router or of my phone or both ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiznom:
On the router.

Use the WiFi analyzer app from the market to find an empty piece of the spectrum.

Login to the control panel of your router and change to that channel.

Your wifi devices will drop, then re-establish a connection automatically with the router.

Configure your router to use whatever version of WPA or WPA2 you prefer, don't bother with WEP.

Then, set your WiFi sleep policy on the phone to 'never,' by pressing the menu button in the WiFi settings screen and touching 'advanced'.

If this still doesn't work, try re-flashing your radio or just move to a different ROM. If you get the same problem on different ROMs, consider that the phone may have developed a fault, and get it repaired or replaced under warranty. Good luck dealing with HTC though, they are a PITA to deal with.

I've got a S-ON Incredible S, tried to rename to PG32IMG.zip and put it at the root of my sd card but no luck.

So I've extracted firmware.zip inside the file and renamed to PG32IMG.zip. Incredible S upgraded my hboot and radio but no the os version and now I can't get my wifi working anymore (got error as soon as I turn on wifi).
[HTC Incredible S] angerized:
If I were you, I would use the official RUU instead.

http://www.multiupload.com/7KZ26DUGJ8

It will wipe your phone, but I think you will not be stuck in between 2 versions.

Just my 2 cents though :)

<EDIT>

That is, if you have a european IS, by the way.

</EDIT>
[HTC Incredible S] GDT:
I'm trying right now, but if I launch the updater from booted os it gives me error 155 which readme says is an incorrect rom image for my phone.

If I try to upgrade from the HBOOT, the updater says I've got not enough battery (30% min) but my battery is full of charge.
[HTC Incredible S] angerized:
Is your phone branded? I think this RUU is for unbranded phones only.. but I am not sure.
[HTC Incredible S] GDT:
I'm trying with the goldcard method, it's flashing at the moment, I'll post my results as soon as it's finished

[Optimus One, P500, V General] manuvarghese:
Hi, I just bought an Optimus One P500 from Letsbuy and got it delivered yesterday.

I didn do anything freaky and tested the Battery Life of the same.

After first Full charge for 3.5hrs, I started using the phone.

The phone lasted almost 22Hrs ( 6.30 PM -> Next Day 4.30 PM)

All the default apps and settings were maintained, I didn change any.

Usage Scenario

Phone Calls - 50 Mins

SMS - 150 +

Wifi Browsing - 1hr

Music playback - 15mins

Video Playback - 15mins.

As I was checking out various features of the phone, I always used ma phones display except when I slept. :)

Now before I go tweaking and rooting the phone I need to know few things.

1. I am planning to Root with Gingerbreak as ma phone is 2.2.1 wid V10C firmware. So what are the Risks invloved in Rooting. Does this void warranty?

2. What all are the Apps I could safely Remove from my Phone via Rooting. I dont want that Vaccine Cleaner or any Bloatware in ma phone.

3. My Phone memory got decreased to 155 Mb from 170 MB, I didn install any app. Just synced ma Contact list wid Facebook and Gmail. What may be the reason?

4. What should I do to increase My phones Internal Memory other than using App2SD?

5. Any problems when updating to 2.2.2 after rooting? Any issues with 2.2.2 ? Does it solve any current issues ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nikhil4186:
phone is less laggy with 2.2.2

if you root you void your warranty

after routing you can remove any app that came pre loaded with your phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] nikhil4186:
to increase internal memory you can move the applications to sd card, some applications may not move to sd card. low phone memory does not hamper the performance of the phone. applications run/load faster if they are on the phone memory
[Optimus One, P500, V General] rapharias:
One thing you should know is that the sdcard which comes with phone isn't very good, and it can be automatically unmounted sometimes. This is because it's a class 2 sdcard.

So you may want to buy a class 6 or higher sdcard. The more the class, the best performance you get.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] victortangocharlie:
Reply to question 4

You can try clearing cache.

Search for cache cleaner on market.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] manuvarghese:
thanks for the fast reply. are you sure Rooting will void warranty. i hav read that the phone can be brought back to the original sTate and thus it won't void warranty. i would like to know a final word regarding this.

if we remove an app after rooting can the phone brought back to factory state.

Also i have say 6 albums n ma picasa so if i sync it where will these pics get stored? i dnt want ma phn memory to be filld up by pics.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] victortangocharlie:
It is possible to flash original software back on your phone using kdz updater which will remove the presence of any customization on the phone(root, custom recovery, custom rom etc.) And make your phone appear unmodified for all practical purposes.

Read the following thread for instructions -

[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweettaniyaa:
During ur initial days of use of ur phone, battery life will be shorter. That will change and the battery life will increase in a few days. Happens with all new battery. And if you plan to u use stock instead of custom ROM update ur phone to the latest V10E before u root ur phone. This is a root able version with Ginger break.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] haroonak:
Rooting your phone would void your warranty but you cal always unroot using the latest version of Gingerbreak so that wont be problem. I suggest you upgrade to 2.2.2 and then root.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] superkid.net:
when you root ur phone.. you can always flash a custom rom for more internal space abd better performance.. try mik_os Cm mod
[Optimus One, P500, V General] manuvarghese:
Thanks guys.

So I will post my status as of now.

I rooted using Gingerbreak

Installed Move2SD Enabler and set default location to Memory Card(2GB)

Installed Rockplayer Pro

Installed PowerAmp Pro

Installed Terminal Emulator

Installed Juice Defender Ultimate

Unrooted phone using Gingerbreak

Now My Doubts are :-

1. Am going to Update to 2.2.2 as I am currently in Unrooted State. Any issues with that ?

2. I really wish to remove all that Vaccine, Bollywood, Picsay, LG adviser, LG App Installer etc from my phone for ever. But If I remove them, can they be recovered. Also if I Uninstall using Titanium can I later Upgrade to Gingerbread when Its released by LG.

3. What is Custom recovery. I read the guide and every stuff here, but I still got that confusing. What are the uses of loading custom recovery.

4. Is custom recovery of any good for me ( I dont intend to use custom ROM now) Is it important to do Custom Recovery for Stock Roms ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweettaniyaa:
1. Don't think there will be an issue updating. But u should have done it after updating as there has been some who's been saying updating after rooting has been a lil tricky. Try this thread for more info : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1041528

2.You can remove them. Don't think there will be an issue. but try freeze option to be safe. I removed all of them accept for LG adviser and install. No problems.

3. Custom recovery is similar to the BIOS of the computer. U can use it to wipe all the data from ur phone memory, Install custom ROM, etc.

4. U don't need it if u plan to only use Stock.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] manuvarghese:
Thanks, as per your advice I unrooted and updated my Optimus One to V2.2.2 aka V10E.

And now I rooted again with gingerbreak and removed bloatware with Titanium Backup. :)

Can you guys suggest a Startup Cleaning software as we have MSConfig in windows ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] amosng1:
Answers for YOU!

Hi, I'm a new user but hey, android is familiar with me lol :cool: Okay, for your questions, these are your answers!

1.Rooting basically allows you and apps to access to important system files. One thing good is that it allows you to set CPU Speed and other stuff.(Go Market and search for 'root'!)One thing bad is if you accidentally delete any file (Oppsies!:() , then your phone risk getting BRICKED:eek: So, make your decision wisely! (p.s. I rooted mine!:D)

2.You can remove everything you want but remember, your phone can stop functioning if you accidentally maybe uninstall like...market? It's really your choice :)

3.Usually it is due to some stupid cache, go market download 'Cache Cleaner' or something like that to clean the cache.:rolleyes:

4.For this question...Apps2sd is ur best bet but you can try link2sd too :p. Jkjk, to increase your internal memory, you can:

1)Do Q2 (Uninstall system apps lol)

2)Take apart your phone and install another chip or something like that

3)If above options do not work for you, use Apps2sd or Link2sd!

5.Based on my opinion, no, rooting does not affect update. Issues? I'm not sure but one thing is for sure, your choice!

I REALLY HOPED I hELPED YOU! Gotta continue my Optimus one gamee!!!!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] amosng1:
Hmmm....Go market and search for startup auditor or autorun lol
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Kira.Lawliet:
There's cache cleaner that is packaged in void echo rom. You can set time for automatic cleaning of cache say every 3 days etc.

Other system related stuff that comes from that rom include:

Watchdoglite >> monitor running apps that eat too much of your cpu so you can end it

Spareparts >> let's you monitor what apps eat your battery

Setcpu >> with this you can overlock your phone for best performance or you can set it to your desired frequency for battery saving purposes. Depends on what you want

Fast Reboot >> this automatically restarts all your apps/running backgrounds without needing to reboot the phone
[Optimus One, P500, V General] manuvarghese:
Thanks guys you saved the day. :) I installed Startup manager but it lists only a few stuff. Anyways did some tweaking and happy as a clam. :)

Thank you guys :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] 4silvertooth:
Custom recovery not necessity if u don't want to flash custom rom.

You will be able to update from LG if u have just rooted and removed some bloat.

All the bloatware will come back if you upgrade.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] danialrocker:
1. Not really. Once you root, you will learn how to unroot;)

2. You can use System app remover. (market)

3. Could be the cache of Facebook and Gmail.

4. Well the first thing is to remove cache that are built up by storing the web and youtube.

5.No , I rooted from 2.2.2 10E and I claim that was the best decision I made so far.

I recommend you to flash fransiscofranco's Devoid rom , efficient and newbie-friendly. However you need to flash custom recovery first to flash anything. If you need help , pm me.

You can thank me by pressing the thank button below.;)

Is it necessary to calibrate battery after upgrading to v10E or 2.2.2, does an update via LG s/w updater alter the battery calibration values and should i calibrate it again ?

I got up this morning, grabbed my tablet, switched it on and found that no matter what, it wouldn't respond to touch input.

Hoping I could sort of "kick it" by using a keyboard I plugged one in and while that worked fine, it didn't unstick the digitizer.

Had to reboot.

Anyone else seen this?
[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
I've had this happen once or twice, and as you mentioned the only way to get it to respond was by a reboot.

[Acer Iconia A500] hellcat82:
Na, I'm not using a screen filter. It happened twice in the first couple of days of owning it and hasn't happened for the last couple of weeks. I've had the same thing happen on the Desire HD a couple of times as well. It doesn't happen very often so I'm not overly concerned.
[Acer Iconia A500] spaanplaat:
Jup, sometimes the screen doesn't respond. I found that if you rotate it (even with the lock on) and then turn on the device the screen wants to rotate and will then be unresponsive. Reboot and all is fine. Seems like a software bug to me.
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Just in case you haven't done so, remove the sticker on the right border. It has a metallic back and interferes with the screen. I had that happen on a display model at BB twice withing 10 minutes. Once I removed it, no more problems. And I haven't had any problems with my purchased one.

A friend of mine bought one online and complained about the same thing. I told him to remove the sticker and the issue went away.
