[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanhosw:
Hi, recently i just bought a new nook color but unable to flash with phiremod 6.2. Everytime after i flash, it freezed at the boot up animation for very long... i heard that the new batches of nook color are unable to flash due to the OS partition is only 1GB...Anyone can help me on this???? Thanks...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaun?:
Same here. I've tried everything I know... which isn't much. If you figure it out let me know.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zephyr757:
Having issues too. I just rooted and installed the market. Can't seem to install any good ROM.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimbo67:
I sure wish someone would chime in on this, as I have a new NC on the way! I sure do hope that I receive one of the older models, from before the B&N update!:confused:
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racks11479:
Can someone get the partition layout of the new Nook Colors with the 1gb OS in quetion and post it here?

Boot from a CWM Recovery SDcard and enter the following commands:

$ adb shell
# fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0

Thanks,

Racks

I brought this issue up about a week ago and noone seems to have a solution.

Here's the fdisk and parted information from my thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13769614&postcount=3

I'd be willing to play around with the NC I have to send back (I have until Monday to send it back to BN.com) if you'll walk me through the recreating everything since I WIPED it COMPLETELY.

Edit

Looks like this is the partition layout before the update

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racks11479:
I'm hoping you have a backup of your stock? Especially the /rom and /factory partition?

Looks like they moved all that space to the /data partition. I believe that B&N stated somewhere that the partition change was so that it can accommodate the B&N app store.

You can recreate the partitions in adb shell with a CM7 sdcard, or with the latest CWM Recovery 2.0.8.0 I believe. I would use fdisk as it allows rounding to cylinders. If you need some guidance, PM me and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks,

Racks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb7038:
Sent you a PM.

If it works, I'll reply back with the steps since I have a NC I have to send back! :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angomy:
I read on B&N Nook user forums that the new partitioning is optional, and they have to ask customers if they want it if they end up getting a Nook that is older than the new installs. You could possibly try asking them to revert partitioning to the old way, since they are offering the new partitioning to existing Nook owners? Just complain that you want the 4GB sideloadable user space that was advertised previously.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natboy:
Are the new nooks able to use the old firmwares? I was having this problem after upgrading my older Color to 1.2. I ended up creating a CWM SD card and found a stock 1.0.1 firmware that I was able to install through it.

I then installed Phiremod and ran into the same problem. I then booted off the SD card again and did a factory reset/wipe data and it was able to complete the boot.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb7038:
For some odd reason, no.

I've managed to install 1.1 and 1.01 but they show the space available on the Nook as 0GB. Books will not download either.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jla34:
Im having the same issue with my newly bought refurbed nook color. If you guys figure it out let me know.

Does phiremod on a sd card still work with the new partitioned ncs?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jb7038:
Yes you should be able to run ROMs off an SDcard.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hockeyfamily737:
Hey if any of you want to try it..... I've gotten reports of CM7 nightly 78 being small enough to fit on your shrunken partitions without an OC kernel. I haven't been able to confirm it myself as I have got one of the older Nooks, but I will say that the .zip looks considerably lighter.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Isakk1:
Hi!

I have had the phone for a while now and everything is working great, exept that sms dont get send to my Girlfriend :( Pretty annoying problem so im back useing my old phone... Anyone now what the problem can be? I have tried to Factory reset but its still the same problem :/
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] magictwins:
you mean your GF can't get your msg but everyone else can?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Isakk1:
Yeah :p Like the person I care about most I cant contact :(
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] ryronz:
Try something like GO SMS or handcent. That will rule out if its application specific, if that doesn't work maybe try deleting her as a contact and putting her number in manually when sending a text (or if she has multiple numbers that are marked as mobile, but are infact not). it might try send it to those.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] magictwins:
obviously that's not a phone problem

Some settings went wrong, like ryronz said
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Cephalus:
I encountered this "problem" a couple of days ago when trying to send my daughter an SMS - tried twice, and twice it said "failed to send."

It turned out that it was because of her entry in the contacts list - her home number appears before her mobile number, so the 'phone was (by default) trying to send the SMS to the wrong number.

Have a look through the failed-send messages and you'll likely find the 'phone was trying to send them to her home or work number instead of her mobile.

Two things to do...

1. On your girlfriend's contact, long-tap her mobile number and select "Make Default Number."

2. From the contacts list, tap Menu -> Preferences -> View Contact, and tick the "Text Action for Mobile Only" tickbox.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Isakk1:
Okej, will test that :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] torvick12:
Is there an app where if u receive a txt message, missed call, email or w.e. n let say you u weren't close by youre phone and phone goes back to standby or sleep. Will the led lights on the phone blink like a normal led notification on the g2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KINGlurch:
Search for g2x notification
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.martinborjesson.o2xtouchlednotifications&feature
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oOo B0XeR oOo:
Yep agreed on that one. The only other 2 I have found worth while and tested are...

"Message Notification"

--This glows a large envelope (literally the size of your screen) momentarily then fades out. This occurs along with your default profile notification. You then have the option to adjust the reminder settings and frequency. For instance that screen with the envelope will glow then fade every 4 minutes if you'd like. I work with my phone resting on a cradle or propped up against something so if you're nearby and miss a text you'll see it shortly thereafter. I know you're OP referred to something without a constant reminder, I'm sure to save battery, but this is again totally customizable and pretty cool. It's worth giving it a shot and then delete if you dont like it.

...and...

"SMS Popup"

-I still use this as of today... when a SMS or MMS text comes in it actually pops up a "cartoon style quote bubble" that has the senders contact card in it as well as the first 4 or 5 lines of message text. You have 3 buttons to choose how to engage: Close, Delete, Reply. Clean UI and works nicely. It stays posted in the foreground so when you're droid wakes up or you unlock screen it'll be there... however it doesn't light up the screen aside from the initial receipt. Hope this helps... the one overground posted above is great too. I have that installed along with SMS Pop.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] torvick12:
alright thank u yes the g2xone looks fantastic, n about the message notification i couldnt find it in the market but thank u once again.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] parcsalooc:
Just curious how you alls signal quality has been on this phone. The radio in the Inspire has left much to be desired. No matter what radio is flashed, the signal strength is poor. So far nothing has compared to my Dell Streak.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sn707:
I have only had it for a few days and I came from an Inspire. I would say it is better with signal and much better with sound (both volume and clarity). I live in a crappy reception area, so it is hard to really tell, but the Infuse seems to hold on to a signal better.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] justanothernoob:
The signal quality is almost on par with the streak.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
not as good as my captivate :/ but good call quality
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Tmullins23:
I have both the inspire and infuse. I'm trying out the infuse for 30 days.

I am averaging -89db on the infuse while the inspire sits around -98db. With that said, the infuse has much better signal strength.

Call quality wise - I've also flashed multiple radios over to the inspire and i always end up with some complaint. ie. static, echo, humming etc...

Hands down, the better call quality goes to the infuse.

FYI - I work as a sales manager and average 40-60 calls a day, emails, txt etc... I took the phone off the charger at 7am and I am currently sitting at 65% at 5 P.M., brightness set to auto, emails set to push, everything else turned off.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pjmurphy77:
I notice if I am in a wifi zone but have a weak signal, the infuse will not switch to the cellular network immediatley... it will continue to try and get a wifi signal without switching to cellular.. webpages time out, etc.

Anyone else seeing this?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Hare4:
I have to take my phone back. The call quality is ****ty. I'm pretty upset and I don't think I have experienced full service once yet.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] upgradedcaveman:
I had the inspire for two weeks. I gave up on it and got the Infuse. The signal for me is better and the sound is better. I am much happier with the Infuse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] :
Seems about the same for me. I live in an area with great 3G (well so called 4G now) coverage though. My data speeds are 4 times faster down with the Infuse however, go figure.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] garak0410:
This is the third day in a row people tell me that they can't hear me well when I am talking on my Infuse...hope it is just a glitch in the towers...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] justanothernoob:
Must be a bad phone or bad signal mine has been fine.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] sonkameja:
OMG I HAVE TO REPLY TO YOUR POST

I have been using this phone for about a week and same crap with me... I keep being told I can't hear you , so when I litterally aim the mic at my mouth then and only then can they hear me , this is pissing me off and making me regret leaving my iphone 3g.

Phone wise the infuse sucks , non-phone wise the android functionality is amazing.

god help us all
[Acer Iconia A500] Pazzu510:
I read somewhere that the iconia a500 includes a Gforce grafic addon in the chipset .

Is it good?

What tipe of Gforce does it has?

What benefits and/or advantages do we take compared to other tabs?
[Acer Iconia A500] Vereynn:
The "GeForce" in the Iconia is an integrated ultra-low power part of the Tegra2 System-On-Chip which is at the heart of the tablet. It has 4 pixel shaders and 4 vertex shaders and is clocked at (I believe) 333MHz, although it could be tweaked by the tablet maker.

More details are available at the Tegra Wikipedia article

It's certainly not comparable to current PC discrete graphic cards; on the other hand, those run in the tens to hundreds of watts of power vs. the single- or sub-1 watt power envelope of the Tegra2 and similar portable systems. OTOH, it's plenty for 720p and 1080p video processing, and some of the games available have plenty of eye candy.
[Acer Iconia A500] Pazzu510:
Thanks. I didnt find any information until you gave me that link.

Good explanation.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
Hey guys-

Did a search and didn't find a solution.

My daughter's Aria (rooted + FR008 since December) got broken and we have an insurance replacement here.

The new phone is "upgraded" with 2.2.2 from the factory and HBOOT 1.02.0000

I can't seem to get it to root. She is quite upset that I can't restore her backup from her other phone, and she has gotten quite hooked on the reliability of the ATT-less phone.

I used unrevoked latest version and it said "firmware too new" and wouldn't root. I can get it to boot into the boot loader but if I choose "recovery" then I get the red exclamation point. Frankly I don't want anything but to get this phone to behave just like the old one.

So does anyone have a solution that will allow me to root this phone or restore a nandroid backup?

Thanks!
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
Your replacement has had the official AT&T Froyo 2.2 update applied to it. This update upgraded the HBOOT loader to version 1.02 which has now rendered the phone unrootable using the previous Unrevoked method.

As of now there is no software solution to root the phone. The only option you have is to find someone the has a hardware device called the XTC Clip which can reset the Aria's Security flag (S-OFF) so that the /system partition can be modified. Check the General section of this forum for more information.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
what about the so-called "gold card"?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpbklake:
No, not even a gold card will help. The HBOOT 1.02 boot loader has plugged all of the known security holes that existed in previous versions and as of yet, no new security hole has been found to exploit and gain root access.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr72:
well, that stinks.

guess I had better get more protective of my own Aria. Not going to pay $200 for a XTC clip to fix this.

[Streak 5 General] tonyII:
hi,

i had a desire Z and used trafficstats to tell me exactly how much data each individual app was using, it was an awesome app

since going to dell streak neither traffic stats or network counter work,

network counter does give a hint, giving a message

"no data available, there is currently either no running apps using the network or your cell phone / tablet is lacking the necessary HW or SW (ROM) support"

can anyone help me to get this part of android working on my streak, i rooted the phone but it didnt make it work but then again my desire z wasnt rooted

help thanks
[Streak 5 General] CosmicTrigger235:
I thought the problem was that various pieces of software that I tried were no good, this makes more sense. I would LOVE to know which apps are energy hogs! I've gotten random surges in data usage and have no idea which app is the culprit :/
[Streak 5 General] tonyII:
traffic stats is amazing, exact detail of how many mbs each and evry single app uses , including system stuff

i miss it , the streak is everything but this is disapointing to me tho

Hello,

I am in process of rooting my phone and I am following the steps on this page

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865685

Step one is to download HTC Sync. I have done that and it does not appear to find my phone. How important is it for this step to work to proceed on?? When I go into start programs I do see the HTC Driver which is what I'm thinking was the important thing.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You're right, the drivers are the important part. The Sync program itself is not needed for rooting. Probably should reboot your PC to make sure the installation of the drivers is complete.
[Droid 2 General] naredfox:
Hi All, I'm new to this so bear with me. I had installed rom manager and clockworkmod etc. I had originally instsalled the gingerbread rom from my droid world but my gps wasn't working and call volumes were low, so I tried Liberty and when I googled it I installed 1.5. Of course after installing it I found a disclaimer that it is not for people with gingerbread allready.

Anyway now when I boot up I get the liberty logo and that's it. I've tried booting into android recovery and done a wipe of user data but that didn't help. I'm not sure how to get into clockworkmod recovery, I used Koush's bootstrap if that helps.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hey chaps and chappetes.

Power-button less N1 owner here.

Ran out of battery today, got home and plugged in the charger and did the battery insert trick to get the phone started. The X logo shows up, but then disappears and then just a blank screen with the 4 buttons below illuminated (back, menu, home, search). Then they stop illuminating but still blank screen and nothing. After about 5 minutes it restarts, then same thing.

Being power-button less I booted in to Fastboot by holding in the trackball while putting in the battery.

Now on the PC I have tried every possible conceivable way of getting in to recovery including ' fastboot boot c:\amon ra recovery.img' or ' fastboot boot c:\clockwork.img' . The commands are succesfull, the phone restarts, but I get the same X then blank screen as usual.

I even erased all user data and cache via fastboot from command prompt, then fastboot flashed boot, recovery, userdata and system.img files from the latest signed-passion-img-GRI40.zip from HTC.com. All seem to push/flash properly, then I reboot, but same result.

Any help?

Just put in the battery with the USB connected and it put my into 2.3.3 stock. Flashed CM 7 back all good now. Wish my power button would come back to life!

Was getting excited to choose between the Desire S and the Incredible S this weekend, but happy now hopefully squeeze a few more months out of this phone and wait for a dual core HTC.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Be careful with this as new HTC phones are getting more protective with their bootloaders and such. Cyanogen got the LG G2x because of this.

I am wanting to hold out for the Nexus 3. It is rumored to have the Tegra 3 which is a quad core with a 12-core GPU. It is also rumored to have a 4" 720x1280 display (eat your heart out Retina Display). This looks like it could be the true successor to the Nexus One (not the stupid sidestep that the Nexus S was). This will put the Nexus brand back into the "Superphone" category. The phone is rumored to be coming out in December and I'd bet it will be the first phone released with Ice Cream Sandwich.

Ya and I heard that it might actually have 3D on it the rumors say it is supposed to be LG but what is there to back that theory I mean until now they they followed which ever manufacturer was selling allot htc first then with the SGS Samsung but after CES I would think that it should be Motorola that would have the next nexus but who knows.
