I don't what you guys are doing to you cables, I had mine for 15 months now , ever an issue. You can buy the whole kit, car or home for $21 with this code T4T8J4A. If you are paranoid or rough with your stuff, put some heat shrink or other reinforcement at the cable junction
[Nook Color Accessories] NCKevo:
Calling the support line worked for me. Just a replacement on the cable itself, not the charger. I'm < 1 year from the date of purchase. I did not get the extended 2 yr warranty.
[Nook Color Accessories] plasticarmyman:
right now they are out of stock on Cables....so you might want to give them a call back in one to two weeks

just letting you all know
[Nook Color Accessories] getontarget:
Just called them after the cable actually fell into pieces on me after months of struggling with it. The didn't want to replace it since the warranty was over months ago, but I transferred to supervisor and they had no problem giving it. I just said that I recognized it was a bad charger, they recognized it's a bad charger, and other friends had the same problem and got replacements. Just wanted to update for those in the same situation.
[Nook Color Accessories] monk1210:
Just to share my experience from today: I used the customer service chat and after consulting with one of their reps, they're sending me a new cable. Had to give them my serial number (underside of the SD card cover). My NC was given to me as a gift last Xmas and was purchased from Best Buy and I did register it on the B&N website when I initially got it.
[Nook Color Accessories] Robertjm:
As you are within your one year warranty on the device, this would have been the correct policy. Just wait for it to be after December 25th and see what happens the next time you call them.

I gave up on trying to use Customer Service and went into a store with the intention of buying a new cable. However, the guy at the Nook Kiosk handed me one in a "plain plastic bag." I asked him how much it was since there was no SKU, and he said that their corporate office sent them some to replace any time someone comes in with a defective one.

[Nook Color Accessories] SacTappingUni:
Thanks! I knew that I could get these replaced, but I didn't know people have gotten them past warranty. I'll see if I can give this a try tomorrow.
[Nook Color Accessories] RoboticBuddy:
I tried getting a replacement cable through this method, but my warranty is already up, and I was not able to receive one.
[Nook Color Accessories] SacTappingUni:
I just walked into the B&N store, showed them my broken cable, and they handed me a new one for free without checking my warranty, which was long expired. That's some nice customer service ;)

If you don't get the cable the first time, try going to another store, or waiting 'til the person's shift is up who denied you your cable.
[Nook Color Accessories] RoboticBuddy:
Do you think it'll work if i don't have the broken cable? My sister threw it out.. :P

[Atrix 4G General] primeboss:
I love using my atrix as webtop on my television, but the problem is i do not have a bluetooth keyboard or mouse. I was wondering is there a way to use the wiimote as a mouse, i am not saying using the wiimotes pointer or sensor, just the d-pad and the B and A button for left and right clicking. I want to be able to control my atrix from my couch.

Also is there a way to have a virtual keyboard popup on the webtop?
[Atrix 4G General] primeboss:
Bump, anyone have an answer/suggestion?

Does the webtop hack have any lag when you play games?

I was watching youtube video and seemed like it had a tiny bit of lag.
[Atrix 4G General] primeboss:
Yes there is lag when using the phone mirror on the webtop. Makes games hard to play (such as emulators). We still need landscape hdmi mirroring to work so we can play games through hdmi.
[Atrix 4G General] scoob8000:
search to market for wii. There are a few apps that let you connect a wiimote for playing games/emulators.

If I recall, one of them lets you map the buttons how you want. While you may not get smooth mouse movement, you might get the d pad to work..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b33p_:
I saw a thread somewhere on this but there was no real conclusion at that point and I can't find it again via search.

This is my first Android device. Every phone I've had has installed software for my PC to transfer music over to use on their music app but that isn't the case here. I can only get into file browser. I'm not a fan of copying and pasting files via file browser as I like album images etc.

Any advice?

What's up with windows mediaplayer?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdo:
i know this isn't the answer that you're looking for but if you embed album art in the music files themselves then you are no longer tied to using any particular piece of software to copy music. you can use copy and paste or any other software knowing that your music is always complete with album art.

the downside of course is that you have to tag all of your files properly complete with album art. if you want to do this i would take a look at mp3tag.de which is free. i think media monkey can do this automatically too ...

if you don't, have you tried using the provided kies software ? once you actually get it up and running it's not too bad ...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b33p_:
Im connecting it to the PC in the two modes the phone allows. Kies says neither are the right mode to connect. I probably look stupid right now but how the hell does this work?!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
Just copy and paste a folder of music onto the phone with the album art in the same folder as the music, that seems to work for me !

if you want a nice easy interface try kies air, you will get the interface without having to load any software onto your computer, (it's really cool)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b33p_:
Kies Air doesn't work either. I wonder if this is because I rooted yesterday.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
Im not sure if you're aware of this but most popular media player software would have embedded the album art in the mp3 itself when it was tagged. Album art is often also added to the folder outside of the mp3s just so that the folder icon will show the art. It isnt however needed with most modern players as they are capable of using the embedded artwork.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_coffee:
when using kies air, don't just type the ip into your computer browser eg 192.168.43.1 but also the port number so it looks like this

192.168.43.1:8080

and hit enter.

Make sure both devices are sharing the same wifi network, if you are away from home then let the SGS set you up a network by choosing Wifi HOT SPOT mode.

PS when out and about using hot spot mode you will also be able to browse the internet from your laptop, the data will come out of your allowance on your mobile phone contract

Have you tried syncr from the market basically it allows you to transfer playlists in your itunes library, which for me came as an advantage cause been using iphone for the last couple of years so I just transfer new songs into my itunes and use syncr to transfer the playlists to my phone. U can also wirelessly transfer tracks using syncr which means you can be out and about in the house whilst syncr is doing its job.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b33p_:
I don't use iTunes so I haven't tried it

Ah, Kies air is working today! Thanks for your help. Interface is kind of crappy but I came from a SE Satio so my expectations are low, I'm perfectly happy! I hope the Music app on the phone is good although I know WinAmp is good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hmmm-:
I came from an iPhone so everything was on iTunes. I still use iTunes as I find some things easier to manage e.g. automatic import & the remote controls you can buy work well with it. It is a terrible piece of resource hogging software however.

I moved to MediaMonkey and used that to sync both iPhone and Android. It's very easy, just identify which playlists, albums, artists you want to sync and plug in.

Recently I've been using Winamp to wirelessly sync. It's convenient but without as many features as MediaMonkey.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandenk0:
If you are lucky enough to get an invite into the google music beta (i was lucky enough to get one) you can have it upload everything into the cloud from your iTunes library (or a music folder if your choice) and have access to it over any of your android devices. But before this I just dragged and dropped all my music from my computer over to my phone which worked fine.

If you can't connect to kies via USB, go to you Settings > Applications > USB Debugging and switch it off.

You have to switch it back on if you want to usethe phone as USB mass storage.

I just end up dragging and dropping it into the sd card
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorko122:
I'm using Winamp via WiFi and it works greate, Winamp also can convert all files to a different codec like HE-AAC (MP4). But then my phone doesn't show the embedded album art - it just shows it at MP3-files. (does somebody has a workaround for this? Does it work to put a folder.jpg into the album-folder?).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
You could enable usb debugging, doing so gives you access to the sd card when connected to a pc. At least, mine does.

Mediamonkey

One word: Mediamonkey.

Mediamonkey organizes all your music easily and allows for easy tagging from amazon, embedding of cover art into the file tag etc. I've used it for years now and there is no way around this if you want to manage a lot of tracks and stay sane. And here's why it's good to use with your phone:

It's not a massive resource hog as iTunes.

It lets you specifiy which subdirectory you want your stuff to be placed on the device, and how files and folders are to be named based on tag info.

(Mine usually goes into "\Music\<Album Artist>\<Album>\<Title>".)

It allows you to set up automatic sync of playlists or folders or whatever you set up. This can also be done automatically once the device is connected. I.e. my device will have all tracks in my auto-playlist "higher rating than 2.5 stars" automatically synced once connected. It will only transfer new files rated >2.5 stars to the device, not all the tracks again.

No need to copy only the tracks you want on the phone from your library to a "watched" folder that Kies or HTC Sync or whatever will automatically transfer. Simply pick the tracks you like and select Send To>Phone>Sync. Bam!

Of course, you can also sync individual files to your device from Mediamonkey.

It's simple and straightfoward. I am still wondering why there are so few people around knowing about this much better alternative to itunes in the Windows space...

Sorry if this sounds like a cheap ad... but it is the only one tool you need for organizing and playing music you need.

Subsonic, if you want choose/download "on the go"

I installed Subsonic on a sheevaplug (plugcomputer) running Ubuntu. But you can use any pc/mac for the server software. And now I can listen to my whole music collection on the go/at home. Via 3G/UMTS/WiFi.

In the subsonic Android player I can browse my collection and select what I want to listen to and it starts downloading the music, while I listen to it :cool:

If you use a pc/mac as server you can transcode on the go. So you can listen to ogg or mp3 on 3G and to FLAC via WiFi for example.

In the settings you can specify how many GB music Subsonic caches. So it does not download music you recently listened to again. My setting for my Subsonic player is to cache 10GB (my music collection is 200GB+)

I always hated having to choose what I wanted to listen to BEFORE I left the house. :D So this is like my perfect set-up!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b33p_:
It has always been switched off apart from when I rooted, I think. I haven't tried Kies since it didn't work as Kies Air did the trick.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
I'm a huge Spotify fan. I pay for premium so get the benefit of streaming but even free users can now use the app to sync files they own over the air. It's well worth a look.
[EVO 4G General] HonkDragonfly:
Okay, I'm here everyday reading this stuff, Id first like to say you guys rock. Everyone here, and the makers of these awesome mods, you have made my phone and my life quit amazing, and less boring like stock!

It seems something is wrong :(

I sort of switch back and forth between cm and savage zen when each have an update. I love savage zen because of the higher resolution, makes my evo screen crystal clear, while cm is much more stable, and has not only the meat, but the potatoes and gravy, while savage only has the meat :P

But anyway, no matter what I do, gmail crashes, and media crashes, market doesn't work etc. The google apps in rom manager have worked before, when I was using 2.3.4 I was able to find that google app package somewhere online.

The google apps in rom manager that im thinking of says its compatible with 2.3.3, and well I used it for a few weeks perfectly. Silly me though I'm never satisfied...

I'm running 7.0.3.1, but it seems the google apps that comes with that package has never worked, you know when you check the box for google apps.

So instead I would do it manually, and again I mean it worked fine.

I decided to go back to savage zen, loved it (everytime deleting delvik cache and full wipe)

I think I am missing something...

The order I would do things is, wipe dalvik cache/data, install mod/google apps. I mean that has always worked before just fine. I tried a before and after also, booted it before restoring my data, nothing crashed, it all went smoothly.

In recovery, I go to restore, advanced restore, then restore data. My 2 latest backups both fail. Am I not restoring correctly, oh im sure this is all my fault.

Sorry im sure this has been answered many times over...I found a few threads but they wernt quite what I was looking for because the person I was reading about both times was using cm6, and I think I did the steps correctly..but thats what I'm here for, Please help me fix my bad *** phone.
[EVO 4G General] HonkDragonfly:
Quick Update

Okay, so yeah I do still have more to learn. I was thinking well maybe if I just wipe the cache partition....(havnt done that before..just did full wipes)

Is this all my fault? Maybe all this going back and forth is just not good? lol
[EVO 4G General] HonkDragonfly:
I figured this out by myself. I went into titanium backup, and wiped the cache of every program that was giving me the error. Done and done. I guess clockwork mod doesn't get rid of all cache?

Well..thanks anyway...I didn't find the fix on google, or anywhere for that matter..It just came to me..
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I remember reading comments about how clockwork dosent nandroid wimax keys and does not fully wipe like it should, you should try switching to amon's RA recovery.
[EVO 4G General] HonkDragonfly:
I switched to Amon Ra a few months ago. I agree it's way better and it's nice to be able to whipe dalvik cache without waiting a few minutes for it to even get to the right screen, but I have still had a few problems even after dalvik/cache wipe. Titanium backup is a nice way of cleaning things up :P also, media storage!

That's something I figured out, it was media that kept crashing and it's happened again, but I do flash like a junkie! Always making sure to wipe dalvik/cache and making a nandroid backup before flashing.

Going into settings, applications, media storage then clear data. Works like a charm.

Also once I had 2 ringtones playing when my phone rang...couldn't figure it out and did EVERYTHING. Clearing media storage saved the day.

I think I'm done flashing..may of found my perfect combo :D

Synergy rls1 + godmode with aggressive freedom kernal.

mmmmm delicious! RLS1 made the phone actually seem to be overclocked before overclocking it (If that makes sense LOL), it ran just as smooth as it did running cyanogen overclocked to 1190. Of course I overclocked it anyway :P

1. I'm running CM7 and whenever I go to flash a new nightly and Chad's kernel, I notice something strange with the battery gauge. If I'm plugged in, I notice that after I flash and reboot, my battery percentage will have gone up about 30-35%! Even if I'm not plugged in, it'll go up about 3%. Flashing a nightly and kernel only takes about 10 mins and there's no way its really charging that quickly. Wondering if anyone has any idea why this happens?

2. Recently upgraded from the clockwork version that comes with the latest unrevoked (2.5.x.x) to 3.0.0.7 (I have an AMOLED). I couldn't find any kind of changelog or description of what's different in the newer versions and was curious if anyone had info on that? Thanks.

It seems a few people have had this problem and now I am the latest victim. My A500 started acting odd with widgits disappearing and not allowing me to re-add them to the screen even though there was plenty of room. I tried rebooting but now my tab is stuck on the ANDROID load screen and stays there forever. Has anybody come across this and figured out a solution? I have tried a hard reset and have restarted holding volume up but neither of those helped. I contacted Acer tech support and those idiots told me to do a factory reset from the app menu which is impossible if android fails to boot.
