JD only kicks in when I'm on cell data. With wifi on, it never activates I believe. Unless I'm looking at this wrong.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dougstoner:
I was getting horrible battery life when I first got mine. I couldn't go 8 hours without it dying, and that was not even using the phone...on standby! I tried a toggle switch for data to turn it off and on when using it, but it still died. Next, I tried a 2g-4g toggle switch. Battery life is flat out amazing now. I can go almost 8 hours on a full charge and be on maybe 95%!!! I think a lot of it has to do with my office building and not getting the best reception. I would tend to bounce back and forth from edge to 4g all the time. Anyway, I use switch pro for the toggle widget, but give it a shot for a few days.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cyberdan3:
Switchpro only has a 2G/3G toggle. How did you get the 4G toggle or did you mistake what it was called.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nchummer:
I had a similar problem with my first G2x. With the screen turned off and in stand-by the battery would drain 15-20% per hour. I even bought 3 cheap batteries from China and the results were the same. I then had T-Mobile send me a replacement G2x. The new G2x drains about 1% per hour in stand-by. I even get 1% drain with the 3 cheap batteries. So it appears the problem was the phone. I had tried CM7 and Eaglesblood on the first G2x and it didn't stop the drain.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bombsquadnz:
I had terrible life when first started, than I did the factory reset and the battery conditioning thing.

Took it off charge over 30 hours ago, it still has 10% left. Within that it had a solid 2 hours use of edge/3g/4g internet (Searching for towers as I was on a train). And a good hour of me using it on wireless for checking emails and browsing while at home and work.

Note that I have GPS turned off, and the phone is on a wireless network for almost all of its idle time. NO Juice Defender, no data stwitching, no rooting. Stock standard, although I did follow the advice here and not activate any of the TMobile apps.

Pretty happy with it now.
[Thunderbolt General] psicrest:
Just talked to a friend from vzw, he told me that if something happened he will hook me up with a replacement for my tbolt.

I've been using gb radio since the 1st day it was leaked, i have no problems on my phone, just some random FCs but that's given.

Since we don't have a solid demographics on how many people got bricked, Im going to take the risk and see if i get bricked.

This morning i just got into a bootloop but looks like its just the battery giving false stats. Its been more than 6 hours now in my external charger and i assume battery doesn't hold charge anymore, Im going tommorow to vzw to have it replaced.

Question is, will logcat be enough to monitor my phone in case i got bricked so i can pull some important data regarding how it happen?, that way we can find a clue on how to fix a radio-bricked tbolt.
[Thunderbolt General] dopediculous:
Have you cleared battery stats under cwr advanced?
[Thunderbolt General] TheStick13:
Wow. Very cool that you're willing to do this. Looking forward to seeing what you find out.
[Thunderbolt General] funkybside:
From what I've read, that's not possible as the bootloop happens even booting into recovery.
[Thunderbolt General] yakitori2:
kudos to you. I would not do it. Thats a 600 dollar risk you are taking there.
[Thunderbolt General] psicrest:
Yes i have cleared my battery stats. My previous battery is now dead. I think i discharged it too much, now its not holding any charge. My phone still runs on gb bamf and loving my lockscreen. Will let you know if i get bricked.
[Thunderbolt General] M@|ice:
i too am sticking it through, im too in love with this to revert back.
[Thunderbolt General] mojonation1487:
Lol you obviously didn't read his post. No risk involved.
[Thunderbolt General] psicrest:
I hope someone could shed a light to my questions.

1st. How does the radio firmware work on our phone? Does it work like a driver where it acts a mediator between the roms(software) to the phone's hardware.

2nd. What are the possible trigger to recreate the bootloop of death? There are some cases that my phone overheats because of non responsive apps and ever since i flashed on GB rom there i times i can feel my phone hot, which could be the case from some of the boot loop victim that they fried something inside their phone.

3rd. What are the chances that same bootloop of death could also occur in froyo radio? Just because vzw officially released the radio doesn't mean it has same risk like the leaked GB radio. It is like how HTC manufactured the phone, they tested most of it but some are still lemons.

Everything is in theory right now, there are no fix because it happens in random and the reason is still unknown. I'd choose to participate for the fix instead of waiting for someone to figure out the fix. We all do take a bold step in rooting our phone, flashing different roms, putting our faith on the battery that it wouldn't fail during the flashing process. Once we modified our phone from its stock settings we acknowledge the risk, and that risk is the one of the few factors the fuels the development of the rom/kernel community.

I've noticed several repacks of the GB radio:

[Thunderbolt General] psicrest:
I just called verizon 611. My phone is not bricked and still functioning properly, but i told the operator that my phone constantly reboots( I pretended that my phone was bricked), i was passed to higher level tier support and they said they will be sending a new phone to me and there will be an extra envelop where i need to put my old phone to return to them. The call only took me 10-15 minutes and I believe VZW is aware that Tbolt has this issue even if its GB or the stock froyo rom.

[Nook Color General] guyjack:
I searched the forums for this, but I never found any straightforward (or in plain and simple English) answers that helped me. I don't know how to root or how to mod my devices or even some of the terminology. I also know that some of you might laugh at me for my lack of knowledge, but I get that anyway for how I walk sometimes (I have MS) LOL.

I just bought a New Nook Color today (yay for me!). I have a Samsung Epic 4g. I used an app called Application backup that gets all of the APK files into a zip file on the SD card. I have a 16gb SD card. I transferred my info from my 16 GB card to another 16 GB card via my computer. I put the 2nd SD card into my Nook and the Nook did not recognize any of the Apps from my phone. I figured that since they are both running Froyo, that it would work. What did I do wrong?

Also, I figured that since I upgraded the Nook to B&N's new Froyo, that I would be able to get onto the Android Market, not just B&N's somewhat crappy App store. How can I access the Market from my new Nook Color?

Also, can I run Google Voice and make calls from my new Nook? Just wondering, it's not necessary, but I would like to at least text message from it, if possible. Also, can I really get that Playon app and play Netflix and Hulu content as well? That would be amazing!

Thank you in advance for taking the time to help this big ol' dummy!
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
There's plenty of easy to follow guides about how to root, flash custom ROMs, etc all over this part of the forum, just gotta go looking. You'll need root to watch the Netflix app on your NC, same with getting the market.
[Nook Color General] holgalee:
There's an easier way to install the apps on your NC. Just download the Appbrain app on both NC and your phone, then you can see the list of apps on your phone and install them on your NC as well.

I've got a rooted NC with phiremod installed, so I can't tell you how to access the market on any unrooted device. Hope someone else can help you with that.
[Nook Color General] akaCat:
A completely stock NC can't access the marketplace.

OP, look for the "manual nooter" thread, probably in the Dev subforum. Nootering is the closest to stock you can be and use the non-B&N marketplace.
[Nook Color General] nuttybardude:
so i just got a gtab and was playing around with it. got a custom mod on there(vegan 5.1.1, love it) and my mom saw me saying "is that an ipad?". told her no, showed her some of the features and she suggested we get something like that for my grandma. without knowing really much about the nook color at all i do know this would probably be a better option for her than an ipad or gtablet.

just wondering if there are stable enough roms out there where i could do everything at once when i buy it and kind of show her how to navigate websites, email, watch videos, etc(pretty much basic computing, shes old lol) over a weekend when shes here(she lives 6 hours away and coming to visit next week)? because once she leaves i won't be able to update or help her troubleshoot it till like Christmas.
[Nook Color General] Nora D:
This might be better in its own thread if you want more replies, but I can tell you my own experience with customized tech devies as gifts to people who aren't tech savvy and can't or have no interest in learning. Never works out well, for me.

If your grandma likes to keep up with and learn about the latest gear, or if she's interested in starting, a rooted or moded NC would be good. But if she's not, you need a device you can set up for her once and have it run without need for updates or maintenance for a long period of time. Something she can just use. In that case the extra expense is worth it.

Also, a screen larger than the NC's would probably be easier for her, depending on her sight.
[Nook Color General] Skunkeye:
This is a very good point. I thought about getting a tablet for my dad, and the same considerations occurred to me. If your grandmother is using it primarily to read books, then the small screen isn't as much of an issue, since the fonts can be sized up in the reader app without much detrimental effect. But scaling up a large font in the web browser will likely make the web browsing experience painful, since many websites are so tightly formatted. "Zoom in and pan around" is a horrible way to use the web... Also, the smaller the screen is, the finer the motor control necessary to operate the touch screen controls, which may be another issue for an older person.

I came to the conclusion that a 7-inch tablet just isn't going to be very useful for an elderly person, and the Nook has enough little quirks when used as a tablet that it would likely be a frustrating experience for a non-techie person.
[Nook Color General] angomy:
I really would not recommend CM7 NC or even rooted stock NC for an elderly person or technologically illiterate person for a couple of reasons:

1. The default UI is nowhere near as non-techy-user-friendly as iOS (I'm OS-agnostic, hate proprietary software, but hey, it's true) and there's no locking down of features (admin mode vs limited user, etc) to prevent someone accidentally damaging the install or removing something they shouldn't. Maybe you could find a heavily modded theme to be friendlier.

2. The screen is, at 7", perfect for me as a reader but my (elderly) mother complained about the small screen size (needing much bigger fonts). You can fix that somewhat by (obviously) using bigger fonts in CM7 and also by editing the lcd density, but the latter can cause issues with some apps. It's not exactly difficult to fudge fingering through the menus and opening apps by accident, or just mistyping because of the smaller keyboard.

I told my mother, who was liking my (CM7) Nook despite complaining about eye strain and fingering issues, that she was probably better off spending $100 more on the upcoming 9.7" Amazon tablet this fall if she could wait. While it's probably going to be as locked down as the iPad to begin with, I won't have to worry about bugs in nightlies (or even stables, e.g., no deep sleep in pre-.32 releases) or whether or not she'll accidentally break some app etc. While it sucks to be limited to 1 ereader store (technically), if Amazon allows generic ereader apps like Bluefire or Aldiko she could still have access to epubs from competing stores if she needed it. If it ends up being rootable to allow 3rd-party apps and Google Android Market then it's a win-win with a polished, user-friendly modded android OS from Amazon.

I'm not bashing the Nook or CM7 - I love mine and I love being able to tweak and experiment with it, but it's not something that a non-techy would be able to tread fearlessly in -- look how many threads here are posted with people being lost about doing a basic SD CM7 install or following one of the step-by-step rooting guides.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Responding to the grandma tangent, I think everyone is underestimating the appeal of the stock Nook Color for people who don't know what they're doing. There are plenty of non-tech-savvy people over at mobileread (well, tech savvy enough to post on a forum, but otherwise...) who are thrilled with their stock NCs. Three-million-plus of these things have sold, and most of those people are not rooting them or putting on custom ROMs.

Someone familiar with Android devices who goes into it expecting an Android device might find it limiting, but for someone with no clue, the fact that it only does a few things is a pro, not a con.

I don't remember just how the NC stock browser works, but most Android browsers are smarter than that. Often a double-tap on a column of text will get it centered at a manageable size, and if not you can zoom to the desired text size and double-tap again to reflow it just like a book. Whenever I come to an article of more than a few paragraphs on my PC, I stop and pick up the NC for a more comfortable reading experience (or send the link to the NC for later, depending on what I'm doing).
[Nook Color General] Skunkeye:
I don't think anyone is underestimating the stock Nook Color for what it is. But the original question was about "stable ROMs" and the comparison of the Nook vs. a full Android tablet or iPad. I'd have no problem giving almost anyone a Nook Color if it was left as an unrooted, stock device (because tech support would then be B&N's problem!), with the understanding that it was going to be used as intended: as an excellent e-reader that happens to do a little bit of internet stuff sort of passably well.

But if you're talking about putting Cyanogen or something on the thing and sending it to grandma's house six hours away and hoping for everything to go smoothly (which was, I think, nuttybardudes's intent), I think that's very likely to end up in frustration for everyone involved.
[Nook Color General] Taosaur:
Agreed. I'm saying he's overthinking it--just buying a NC and handing it to her (well, maybe helping her register it) may be his best option. .
[Off-topic] andychud:
Just curious where one can buy the cheapest gadgets in the world. I'm talking about well known brands, not fakes or unknown crap. I'm also talking about buying outright, not on contract. I know this varies with exchange rates, so let's all give examples in the same currency... Let's say US$.

I'm from the UK, live in the Philippines but travel extensively with my job. I've generally found the cheapest places to be developed countries & UK in particular. I haven't been to the US for a while so I'm out of touch there. I know it used to be cheap (when the £ was strong). Philippines & India expensive! Example... I just bought my Galaxy Tab in Australia for $290. In Philippines & India, the cheapest I could find were around $450.
[Off-topic] orb3000:
I would say Hong Kong or Thailand
[Off-topic] andychud:
Ah, yes... HK. Forgot about that. I've bought cameras from there in the past considerably cheaper than in UK. Although these days, I usually never leave the airport, which is not so cheap.
[Off-topic] LordManhattan:
Places to go in HK are:

Mong Kok <-- getting a bit too touristy over the last few decades though

Sham Shui Po <-- for all you MP3, PC, DVD, Console needs.

Places to NEVER buy things in HK are:

Tsim Sha Tsui

HK island in general (although there are a few good places in Causeway Bay).

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxKILLx3RxX:
Since the lapdock has an HDMI in (for the atrix to output to the screen), would it be possible to hook up and output an xbox 360 with the correct adapters (like this)? Or is the HDMI plug just for use with the atrix?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashingout:
Dude

F**king brilliant man I was at the att store the other day and when I yanked the atrix out of the lapdock(one of which I have ordered) it said NO HDMI INPUT. I bet it will work with a micro HDMI adapter....ordering from China asap, so expect it to be a month :S
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxKILLx3RxX:
If it warned against hdmi input, it actually might not work :(. It might be a sort of proprietary jack in order to trigger the webtop on the phone. Even though we can just enable webtop with an hmdi cable, it might not work the other way around. But it's worth a shot seeing as the adapters shouldn't be too much money.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashingout:
it didnt seem that way, if I can dummy load the usb connector possibly by using my atrix, then the hdmi is free for the taking, and when i pulled it out of the dock it seemed like, when you unplug a computer monitor, when it says nothing connected, it seemed like that, I bet this will work
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanghei:
That adapter wont work, it would need to be a FEMALE micro and not a male micro which is what you linked to

DOH! Just noticed the MALE to FEMALE mini is on backorder.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry99705:
still not right. The dock has a male mini connector, to make it work you need a full sized male to mini female cable. They don't make those, so you'll have to make one yourself.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omni_angel7:
Or you could use the full size male to mini male adapter along with a female mini to female mini coupler or "extender".
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.Jeckyl:
I realize that. The first link is a mini FEMALE to standard MALE. ;-)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shanghei:
it is micro hdmi not mini hdmi
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashingout:
They exist

Last week I was working with my exporter and I noticed a boatload of new micro hdmi products, one of them was male and female adaptors, male to male, female to female etc, I guarantee it you guys they exist, and they also exist for micro usb, with which we can dummy load the shell into powering on with the phone if necessary. This will take maybe $6 worth of chinese parts, a month for shipping, and patience for the adaptors to arrive for an investigation. I'll try to order by next tuesday :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxKILLx3RxX:
O, dang it. I didn't realize i found the wrong adapter. I forgot that we would need a female adapter.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dudeman Broguy:
I look forward to hearing more about this.

If it would indeed be possible to use the laptop dock for such a purpose then I might be able to justify picking one up.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ParrotSquawk:
...it would then make a nifty portable DVD player too...

just get an inverter to run a blu-ray player in your car, make a $50 cable...

You guys have wayyyyyy too much time on your hands :)

(from a guy who doesn't own a gaming console :p)

However, as a proof-of-concept, it would show what the lapdock is capable of. Get a ATSC tuner with HDMI out and you would have a nice portable HDTV.

I am actually wondering if there is a way to put a touchscreen in place of the simple LCD (like Asus is doing with their prototype)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ririal:
Pretty sure that the screen is going to shut off without the phone activating the display through the USB connection as well.

Good luck though, hope I'm wrong!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crashingout:
Which is why I will dummy load the microusb terminal in the dock with my atrix. I found the female micro hdmi part we are looking for! I'll put up more info ASAP, I'm a bit swamped ATM
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mgamerz:
It might attempt to sense an atrix via the microusb port. Perhaps a keep alive signal. But it will use the same proprietary protocols that all the docks use to trigger the correct mode.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g2tegg:
I think this just might work!! Sometimes when I plug in the phone I get a message on the screen "no hdmi input". And if this does in fact work, guess what. The atrix 2 will work with our "outdated" lapdocks haha
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jstylen:
A friend with a Droid 3 plugged his phone into my Bionic Lapdock and the screen came on and showed his phone. The Droid 3 does not have webtop so I assume there is nothing going on over USB telling the monitor to come on. So a micro female to male hdmi converter should work to plug in whatever. Also worth noting that the keyboard and trackpad did not work on the Droid 3.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jstylen:
Did this thread just die or is somebody waiting for an adapter in the mail to give it a try? If nobody posts I guess I'll order one and let everybody know how it goes...
