[Nook Color General] pjdj:
Hey guys, I got an email on my nook the other day, and when I picked it up, I didn't realize I still had it plugged into the charger, so I accidentally yanked it and broke the B&N micro SD cable.

I'm running phiremod, so normally this isn't a problem since I can slow-charge from my PC or car adapter.

The only problem is, charging like this only works once you've loaded the CM kernel. If you try to charge from a dead battery, you can't do that!

Right now, my nook color is dead. I can plug it in and I get the "not enough power to turn on, please wait 15 minutes and try again" message.

My question is, is there any way to charge this sucker (from death) without shelling out another $25 for the charger (and all I need is the cable, but they are almost just as much).

I have it plugged into my PC currently, and it has been plugged in for about an hour, but it still won't power on. If I leave it plugged into the B&N charger with a regular microUSB cable (even all night) it won't charge a drop.

Any suggestions?

Edit:

FWIW, my nook DID turn on after about an hour - an hour and a half of charging with 11% battery and continues to charge via the PC with a regular microUSB cable. It takes a while, but it will charge
[Nook Color General] Tylerjd:
Its good that it started working again. I know some things need to use an official charger to come from the dead. If you wanted to see if you could make it charge faster, (both from dead and regularly) you could try a different USB to wall adapter with higher wattage/amperage. Think iPad, XOOM, or Atrix (all high power-draw devices) charger...
[Nook Color General] deadbot1:
Higher amperage will help...but the magic is in those extra long connectors on the stock cable..to fast charge you will prolly need to get a new one.
[Nook Color General] joobu:
Just a friendly PSA: lithium ion batteries should not be deep discharged.
[Nook Color General] d00med:
I'm going to need a new cable pretty soon. The end that plugs into the Nook has been cracking and falling apart. I'm guessing I'd have to get it direct from B&N?
[Nook Color General] ExploreMN:
You could try this one:

[Nook Color General] cmstlist:
Just wanted to add: I've been able to bypass the low battery screen. Pop in a bootable Clockwork SD, then plug into the power source. If there's enough power you'll get into recovery. Swap back to your usual SD, and select the reboot option from inside recovery. It'll boot straight into the OS, bypassing the low battery warning.

Sent from my Nook Color!
[Nook Color General] RickOSidhe:
Call B&N tech support and tell them that you have a bad USB cable. I did, and they sent me a new charger+cable within a week, gratis. YMMV. :)
[Nook Color General] jaysckap:
i got one at best buy $14.95 OEM
[Nook Color General] Colchiro:
The stock B&N charger is 2 amps (or 2000 milliamps) so any charger with less than that will take longer to charge. USB only supplies .5 amps so takes a lot longer to charge.

The ebay link above is a 1 amp charger.
[Nook Color General] byronczimmer:
I had the same thing happen to my Nook, and I've been fairly regular at the local brick and mortar B&N the last month or two (1 hour book read and various purchases and stuff).

So I took the cable in and showed it to them. They took that one and handed me a new cable. 'tis my suspicion that it's a fairly common occurrence with the sample units.

Worst you can do is ask.
[Nook Color General] gbeardmore:
Mine was doing the same thing. Chunks were falling off the end that plugs into the Nook. I took it into my local store and they simply handed me a new one. Claimed it was the first time they'd seen one like that...
[Nook Color General] Backwardsblade:
I had a really great experience with brick and mortar bn staff. One guy cracked open a new charger and cord and just said to stop by if evertth wasn't totally fixed. I left and now I even have an extra charger!

BN staff = win!
[Nook Color General] Backwardsblade:
Odd, the associate I spoke with said there were issues with some of the cords shipped with the early batches.
[Nook Color General] jumpingsheep5:
I did the same thing and they sent for free no questions asked.
[Nook Color General] buiqn:
Bought my nook used off craigslist. Called in and got a replacement cable no problem.
[Nook Color General] sheetmetalninja:
ive been struggling with this for a few days since this whole battery issues have been going around with the late CM 82 nightlys... well. i wanted to make sure that my nook wasnt toast. (i have 3 and 3 different chargers and cables all OEM all new) so just last night right before the "fix" was merged into nightly 91/93.... ill be damned if i didnt do exactly what you said and managed to suck enuff juice out to boot off SD into recovery... however... i thought problem was solved and i let it sit in recovery (plugged into wall) but had i known what i known now... it WONT charge without the CM kernel installed. Now i think i managed to "brick" an unbrickable device. does this make any sense? im not good with words i guess.. but anyway... there isnt enough juice to even get to the "connect charger screen" hell... i bet most people dont know theres actually ANOTHER "connect your damn charge dummy!!!" screen that comes up after the one that says try again in 15 minutes lol. so ya... been sitting on each of my chargers for at least an hour each hoping to get some juice out ... and its a no go. :( o well.. i got 2 others... but dammit i had that one JUST the way i wanted it. idk why i even went to .32 kernel... it was a nightmare from first boot. (no i did not revert to stock rom first as i hear is what does the trick)

maybe i should post a warning thread to others to MAKE SURE BATTERY DOES NOT DRAIN COMPLETELY OUT BETWEEN WIPING AND FLASHING FIXED rom.... cuz your nook will NOT charge...... side note... does anyone have any suggestions as far as like a higher rated charger that may force a charge or soemthing? im no electrical engineer so if thats sounds dumb... it prob is. lol
[Nook Color General] wbrands:
Can you damage a device using higher amperage chargers than supplied with the device (i.e. using nook charger at 2 amps to charge cell phone supplied with 0.7 amp charger)?
[Nook Color General] cmstlist:
The tip of the Nook charger won't fit into a standard micro-USB port.

But if you plug a standard micro-USB cable into the Nook wall charger piece, I believe the USB power protocol will automatically modulate down to the highest the device can accept.
[Nook Color General] boxcar8028:
sorry, off topic but, what did you mean when about "going back to stock rom first is the trick"? is going to stock rom first before flashing roms with .32 is the answer to fixing SODs and no deep sleep issues?

[Nook Color General] kinhvanhoa:
I have the same situation here. How could you get the new charger from B&N? Just simply provide the serial number to B&N? Could you explain a bit about your experience?

Thanks.

BTW, I realized that my N1 charger in fact has 5V 1A output. It's a lot better than charging by a micro USB cable or other phone charger but, it's not enough. I tried to use my NC plugged in with N1 charger. My NC dies after a couple of hours of using. It means that NC battery keeps dropping although it is plugged in with 5V 1A. I think "2A" is crucial for the NC charger.
[Nook Color General] rhester72:
It is. Actual charging flow is somewhere between 1.4 and 1.6 amps.

[Nook Color General] cracksmurf:
I just want to verify this works excellently. When I got my nook the cable was cracked under the light up nook symbol. After seeing this post I immediately called B&N Tech support. I stated that I was having issues with my cable and they immediately transferred me to the correct dept. Upon connection with them they instantly offered to replace the cable before I even had the chance to ask for it. Definitely the best customer service experience I've ever had for a defective product. Not to mention now I will have a second cable for free. A little super glue and the original will make it's home in my car. :)

The charging process

With a/an regual micro-USB the nook takes atleast 18 hours to charge

I too have broken my NOOK micro-USB but mine is always stuck in a bootloop

NOOK Micro USB gives out 5.0 mAh

Regular Micro USB gives out arround 1.0/2.0 mAh

[T-Mobile LG G2x] filero555:
OK this is my story ... I had bought a g2x April 20 i started to have data problems .. it'll dqisconnect then reconnect sometimes be disconnected for 3 to 4 mins at a time. I did every possible reset on the phone after every reset it'll work fine for about 5 mins then the disconnects starts all over again. This is everywhere I go does the same thing .. soo after calling T-mobile 100 times going thru technical support I was advise to change my phone and sim. Card as well... after changing my phone to the new one still have the same problems also I think its worse than before .. I've tried everything .. anyone has any ideas? ???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Irishdoom:
Well, were you on T-Mobile before, or is this a new contract with a new carrier?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] dougstoner:
Does it do this all the time, or in really bad reception spots?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] filero555:
Yea that's all T-mobile does your exactly right ..... and yea the phone does it all the time no matter where I'm at..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Irishdoom:
Ok, what phone is it you had previously, and how was that experience?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mingkee:
How old is your SIM?

Try to replace and see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] filero555:
The phone I had before the g2x was the hd2 and as you all know it has a 6.5 windows o.s on it soo I had put mdeejay's rom evo revolution on it running on SD card was hearing those builds always had data issues soo I didn't really complain it was way better than having windows on it .. and I'm pretty sure for those couple of days I didn't have data issues with windows ..

Talk to customer loyalty, they have more power, insist on it,i don't talk to regular agents anymore, they can't do anything.one time in 30mn of talking, that guy only shows me how to reboot my phone, it's all bull****
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
I had the same problem and I don't know why or how it's now getting better. At first it would disconnect ALL the time and I would just put the phone on airplane mode our just disconnect and reconnect data, and it would temporarily fix the problem. After rooting, freezing bloatware and playing with the settings it rarely losses data connection. It was also really slow, I couldn't go above 2mbits, today it's between 4 and 6mbits! Consistently! (knock on wood) :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] filero555:
Yea I've done the sim cards change.. like I said I tried everything :( as soon as gingerbread comes to the g2x I'll see if I have the same problem if yess I might try rooting this phone.. or just give up and get a different phone ..

its not the device error its your network reception, where do you live?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Minker17:
I don't think it's network. Mine does it too. Disconnects from 4g/wifi intermittently.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] filero555:
Yea I don't think its the network it does it everywhere I go .. I'm in Orlando Florida says I have really good coverage there .. I've also been to west palm .. ft Lauderdale .. Jacksonville ... everywhere same problem. .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
only other xplanation is the radio that g2x currently uses. which will eventually likely get upgraded
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdkackley:
+1

I strongly believe our radio firmware is borked. I have goofy data problems to say the least. Best example I have is that I drop 2g data all the time and in weird spots, like you know, OUTSIDE! Only way I can recover is to switch to 4g. This doesn't make any sense to me. So I'm patiently waiting for LG to get off their ass and fix our phones so I can get a replacement that performs the way it was intended to.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Irishdoom:
So you had data issues with your last phone which you attribute to the software. Maybe you are in a bad area for T-Mo data, and have been all along.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] filero555:
Yea but it was on a SD rom from mdeejay and they all had data issues ... again this happens every where I go.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
Im also in orlando florida...hang in there bro :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] filero555:
Cool.. well actually I'm in Sanford .. how is your reception there? ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] antoniouslj:
EDIT: Oops... wrong thread.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsapp:
Not sure if its the same problem or not, but I often have my data suddenly quite working. Sometimes in the middle off browsing. When this happens the arrows under "4G"seen to freeze, whether lit up our not, but they write blinking. When this happens I clear my cache with the use of a widget and everything usually works again
[T-Mobile LG G2x] filero555:
Yea same here what widget you use? ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] piztol44pete:
had the same issue with my first one, i called t-mobile they reset my SIM it worked for 1 day, i called back and they had me replace my SIM card, did nothing. fortunately i bought my phone at best buy mobile they have a 30 day return policy, i returned it with them and now i do not have the problem anymore with my replacement phone. it's definitely the device!!

OK thank you.

And what is the S-OFF? do i need it ?
[Legend General] TeCH-Guruz:
As a general rule if you don't know what it is you don't need it  for the most part it is there to protect your phone and only devs actually need it. If you were to make you phone s-off there would be a much greater chance of ending up with a bricked phone. s-on locks low level access so it's harder to permanently brick your device.
[Legend General] PakaPakaxz:
How to install a really fresh new copy of CM?

I need to wipe in recovery (how?) and then install the CM ?

And when to wipe?
[Legend General] TeCH-Guruz:
once you are in custom recovery screen, using the optical trackpad navigate to Wipe and push on the trackpad to select it. Then navigate to Wipe data/factory reset and select that.

Then just flash your rom. All I did was copy and paste the information from a sticky actually my sticky so the information is already on here.

[Xoom General] groovebutcher:
This must be my 6th tablet if I include the 'first out of the post' compaq tablets eons ago, a toshiba laptop/tablet, 2 different ipads and an advent vega, so I'd like to think I've got a fairly balanced view on tablets.

I won't get into any of the usual iOS/Android flames, suffice to say in my opinion after a week of using Honeycomb on the Xoom, Android is much more suited to a tablet format than iOS on an iPad, which is really just a big phone, albeit a very slick one.

I'm sure most on this forum will be used to acting as guinea pigs for new technologies and that's a choice most of us have made by getting this device to see the possibilities of an Android tablet, so a few bugs was expected. A couple more updates and there's no reason why Android tablets will be just as slick as an iPad (as it is in the smartphone world now).

Now the hardware just needs to improve. While the Xoom is nice solid tech, it is heavy. I was trying to use it standing on up a train and after a while, it was particularly uncomfortable to use. The screen could be brighter too.

My one unexpected observation though is the screen size. Is it me or is a more rectangular 10.1" just not as easy to type on as the squarer 9.7" iPad?

I find that the wider screen means the keyboard either takes up all the screen or is squashed and the keys are not as easy to use. When I had the iPad, I found typing in landscape mode absolutely no problem. On the Xoom it's not quite as easy to type quickly on.

Anyway, just my opinion... while each day I like honeycomb more and more, I'm not entirely convinced that the Xoom will be my final Android tablet.
[Xoom General] omnia1994:
thx. xoom's really a sweet device, although it has few bugs. enjoy mine very much too
[Xoom General] jerses:
The think about android is that you can change the UI the way you like, you can have the sweet thumb keyboard app and that problem its solved. I find it hard to the ipad will let you change that UI keyboard setting.

I agree the xoom is too heavy, maybe they should realese a keyboard like asus transformer so it can be held in the lap (sorry for my english).

The screen on the xoom is the same as a widescreen monitor you use on a pc. The ipad is somekind of cropped. you can tell if you play videos on ipad...they dont fit the screen.

The only think that im a little sad about the xoom is devs arent interested right now to release honeycomb support. Not even all google apps have honeycomb support but i guess its matter of months or maybe they are waiting for xoom 2
[Xoom General] Bigmille:
I also had my Xoom for a week, and like you enjoy using it so far.

You can try to install this thumb keyboard for easier typing, even though it’s in beta, I have not had any problems use it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1055327

I only took the Xoom on the train for one day and also found it difficult to use. My issue is more to do with the size than the weight. So I went back to use my Galaxy Tab and leave the Xoom for mainly home use.
[Xoom General] VaKo:
The only real issue I've found with Honeycomb/my Xoom is the chronic shortage of apps designed for tablets specifically.
[Xoom General] nexan21:
yes , my thoughts exactly !
[Xoom General] Elysian893:
SwiftKey tablet beta resolves any typing issues, I've been using it since before it went public beta, was part of the early testers. They've already listened to many of my suggestions, which is just great IMO.
[Xoom General] lanternca:

Does anyone notice that number of apps for tablet on android market decrease overtime ? The first day i got my xoom, there were 67 apps, 2 weeks ago: 64 apps. now there are 60 apps. :D
[Xoom General] tpham08901:
I wouldn't worry to much about the apps, with the huge list of android tablets dropping this year we can all expect to see a rather consistent flow of new apps......Hopefullly
[Xoom General] oxeneers:
That's because when you click "Featured" Android Tablet apps, those are just "Featured". There are actually WAY more than that (150+) Honeycomb "optimized" apps in the Market.
[Xoom General] groovebutcher:
It would be considerably more useful if there was a tablet part of the market, similar to iTunes having an iPad only part. There's no easy way to identify tablet optimized apps.

This is from a UK XOOM and I've a feeling that for some reason, Market is different in europe.
[Xoom General] vidriera:
The fact that lists like this exist says volumes about the state of tablet support in the android market, but here is one of the user-compiled lists of apps that are either optimized for or work well with honeycomb:
