Just tried to update the wife's phone, same result, no update! This is a pita, I'll try again later. Not had chance to test the update yet, I'll see how it behaves today.
[Galaxy S II General] tomtomw:
today when i was speaking on the phone the phone shut down and opened up it stoped at the pin code i had to enter pin. this happened a few times.

2 times when i was speaking i could not hear what the other side was saying i had to close and open phone again

sometimes the phone gets stuck and i have to close it and re-open.

sometimes touch screen does not work.

Does anybody else have these problems?

What do i have to do to solve it?
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
A factory reset which will wipe all data .

That fails return to seller/service centre .

[Galaxy S II General] guitarmafia:
This is due to some app u recently installed(if this problem is recent)....try uninstalling them,,,,if that doesnt help,then unfortunately the only option is to do a factory reset...

Godspeed.

Hi, After rooting my Nook Touch I've been trying to find apps that work. It made sense to me if there was a sticky making it easier to play with our new toys so hopefully a mod will stickie this.

I haven't tried any of these yet but Aruangra said they work with Nook Touch:

Opera Mini (There are zoom buttons !. But it cannot access the local host (192.168.x.x))

Opera Mobile (It can access the local host)

Dictionary.com

NewsRob

Kindle

Documents to Go

Dropbox

InstaFetch

Aldiko

ASTRO file manager

SpeedTest.net

PG Calculator

BuzzBox RSS

Evernote

Moon+ Reader (The physical buttons can also change pages !!! and every page is refreshed. No more ghosting issue)

ADW Launcher (Maybe the only launcher that can change background color of Drawer)

Advanced Task Killer (a Must have)

Button Savior (a Must have)

NookColor Tools (a Must have)

Superuser (a Must have)

Rev01 says these work:

working (on restore)

Titanium Backup

Read it later (Pro)

ElectroDroid

RootExplorer

Terminal Emulator

Wifi Analyzer

Permissions Denied

Samba Filesharing

ShoppingList Plus

Wuala

Autostarts

XDA (Premium) (some threads are empty)

Tebra says these games work:

Crimson Fields

Andoku

Four in a Row HD

apeine:

Tried some, but most of them has some level of ghosting:

Working so far:

- Klondike

- Reversi free

- Nemo picross

- GObandroid (to play Go! - very good)

- Super Sudoku

- Klondike free

- Dark nova (used to love Space Trader on my old Treo)

- Repligo and ezPDF. Both allows annotation and bookmarking. Give it a try!
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] johnclevenger:
Repligo doesn't work, or at least it didn't work for me. It installed, but every time I tried to open a .pdf it would flash the menu to accept the license and then disappear.

ezPDF reader seemed to work just fine.

Sync with Google calendar

One of the major reasons for getting my Nook Touch was to be able to sync with google calendar. I was very upset when I learned the ability to sync the calendar was random :mad: until now...

synker allows you to manually sync your calendar and mail.

I also have found that Jorte is a much nicer calendar/planner than stock. :D Both of these apps are free and available on Android market.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] StarbuxMcCloud:
The greyscale screen on this takes me back to my old M105 palm pilot days! Just for nostolgia, it would be pretty interesting to see some of these old applications revived either through a palm pilot emulator, which does not exist, or developer-made applications inspired from palm applications. There use to be a whole ecosystem of palm pilot applications built for greyscale touch screens (in super-low resolution) with a poor refresh-rate in mind.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] apeine:
I had an M100 too, and the way that Palm soft was integrated is nowhere to be seen nowadays (not on standard IOS, Android, etc), maybe only on WebOS. If there was such a family of apps as in Pam, the nook would rock. I'll second Starbux on his request.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ryanpl:
I'd be the third for a Palmish app. I loved my Treo PDAs. I had some programs to this day I'm unable to find a good replacement for.

Hi! I've found this post looking for references to my apps, I'm the developer of Four in a Row HD (it has its own thread here at XDA).

I didn't know about the Nook Touch till now, that's e-ink screen, isn't it? I wonder how it looks there. I suppose choosing the "Plastic" skin (no textures, just vector graphics) and disabling animations in the options menu would fit fine.

I'm really curious to know how it looks in e-ink, could anyone send me or upload a picture or screenshot? Thanks, and enjoy the game!

google Talk and words with friends

anyone try to use either of these apps? Talk loads but only part of keyboard is shown, so you cannot send messages. my contact list shows up and i can send single words to people as long as the words dont include the letters that are missing.

i loaded words with friends and when i try to load a game or invite someone to play, it says there is a network error. maybe there is an easy fix to this?

other apps that seem to work.

sense analog clock widget

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] tebra:
Here is a screenshot of your game on the nook touch.

As you can see, it's a lite difficult to see difference between black player and the not used places on the 16 gray level of the e-ink display.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] mocelet2000:
Thanks! It looks playable, but I'll look into adding a high contrast theme, not just with colors but with textures/patterns. 16 gray levels, OK xD
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] apeine:
Thanks, Mocelet2000. I know that B&W tablets are not a "growing" market for Android apps, but your concern shows that maybe it is viable.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] mocelet2000:
No problem, fortunately my game is not about fancy animations, so fixing the contrast in red pieces (haha, sorry, that's black for you) might be easy.

I have a 10" Honeycomb tablet, it is heavy and has too much brightness at night (even at minimum settings). The capacitive screen makes it impossible to write notes or have some precission when drawing. Of course, it's great for all the other things.

A lightweight tablet, with high contrast screen of about 7 inches, easy on the eyes like e-ink (a bit more refresh rate wouldn't hurt...), with resistive stylus, may be even cheap to make and would be the ultimate notepad on the go.

EDIT: a sneak peak of the new theme "Naughts and crosses" designed for black and white screens :) It will appear in the next update of the game in the Market. Since I don't have a Nook Touch, the following screenshot is actually a screenshot from my mobile phone displayed in my ebook reader (quite weird testbed, haha, but it's closer to reality than photoshop).
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] mocelet2000:
Four in a Row HD with enhanced grayscale screens support in the Market now, make sure you're installing version 3.3 at least.

Recommended preferences for the Nook Touch in options menu:

- Choose the "Naughts and crosses" skin.

- Disable animations.

- Check "solid black background" box in case the new gray stripes looks bad.

Other skins might look better now also, specially the default metal skin which has textured face. Moreover, the striped default background helps differentiating holes and chips.

If you've found this update useful, please rate and comment in the Market and/or the official thread at XDA, thanks so much! :)
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ryanpl:
Mocelet2000, Thanks for helping us out with the new skins. It's great to see developers supporting such an atypical device such as our Nooks. Ryan
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] tebra:
I tried your last version with your recommended preferences on my Nook but there are some graphical bug on top of the screen.

See picture
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] mocelet2000:
Thanks for the report! It seems the Nook does not clear the canvas as it's supposed to do before each call to the drawing routine.

Anyway, now I paint a big black solid rectangle before anything else, should do the trick. Version 3.3b in the Market now ^^

Download to dropbox works perfect.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] apeine:
How do you guys get to download Googlemaps, Dolphin HD, Twitter, Twitterdeck, etc? Whenever I look at Android Market, they are shown as not compatible with my nook (and I had twitterdeck before, but after the 1.0.1, I couldn't get it to work again), and I'm not allowed to download it.

Try loading it on your Nook and let us know the results. I think most of us learned what works through trial and error. The nook touch is Android 2.1 so anything you try to load needs to be 2.1 or earlier. Good luck
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] camroidv27:
Seesmic partly works. The hardware buttons control scrolling, however the keyboard shows up as half a keyboard (only the first two rows). The same error happens in Google Talk.

Tweetdeck does not work, as it won't allow me to enter any credentials for social networks. You tap on something, and the screen blinks a few times, but that is all.

Working Apps:

GTasks

SiMi Clock Widget

Facebook - Other than it uses an older web browser version for some strange reason, and it doesn't work too well in that mode. (I think its an Android 2.1 limitation issue)

I'm just getting a Touch delivered today and was anxious to root it.

On one particular rooted-Touch vid I saw on YouTube, it was noted that almost NO google apps work on the unit.

As a gmail/gcal/gtasks/gvoice user (the latter used only for SMS-ing), I was wondering if anyone has had any success with the above apps or which android apps they've substituted them for (and, hopefully, have some syncing ability).

Anyone?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ryanpl:
I rooted my Nook using the Touchnooter method. I have no problems using android market, gmail, gcal although using the TN method there is a large SD card image on the Gcal. I use Jorte as my planner. The following is a theory be forewarned I'm an Android noob: There is a problem with syncing for the gcal since there is no built in auto sync ability. My solution was to use Synker Beta - The Sync Widget which forces sync on demand. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.afterhoursdevelopers.android.synker
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] TJay99:
ryanpl:

Much obliged for the reply. I believe I'm in excellent company as I, too, am Android noob, finally migrating over from WinMobile/Smartphone tinkering.

Thanks for the info regarding the larger gcal image as well as the calendaring/PIM substitute (Jorte... looks very good). As both an Android

and

Nook noob, I was wondering about pushing/autosyncing for g-apps and such, so your Synker recommendation was equally timely. Just the kind of information I was hoping to receive. :)

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] ryanpl:
Assuming you used TouchNooter here is what you need to do go to your app drawer and click on NookColor Tools. Unclick "Allow Non-Market Apps" and then reclick it. Your problem should be solved.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] TJay99:
I managed to effectively root my Touch with TouchNooter (thanks, XDA!) and am having a blast.

I'm trying to settle on a single e-reading app. I'm fiddling with

Kindle for Android

and have always liked it, but on my Touch, I can't get the search to work. Whatever word/phrase I type in the search box/line brings up zilch.

Have others had similar (or opposite) experiences?
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] giando78:
Perfect Viewer

All,

let me add Perfect Viewer.

It's the best comic viewer I've tried so far (for local content).

It's extremely customizable and can be made to work using touch control, no swipe or gestures, which is perfect for an e-ink screen

With the PDF plugin it's also pretty good as a PDF reader when you want to keep original formatting (i.e. no reflow text) for example for reading documents with diagrams, pictures, etc. Best used in landscape mode.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] mad_scientist:
Cool Reader works great on Nook Touch and the developer added options specifically for Nook Touch:

- refresh type (quality/fast)

- number of pages after which to do a full refresh (assuming you chose fast)

- physical buttons mappings for the four side buttons

Also, I added on my Nook the option to save the cover of the book I am currently reading in a special directory in screensavers (and delete all other files in that directory). Like this, if you choose that directory in your Nook settings it will show the book cover every time it goes to sleep. I sent the code to the developer and he promised to add it to the main release.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] docfreed:
Yeah, I can't seem to find the "seekbars"??? Is this an app - it's not anywhere in preferences????
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] :
Twisty, an IF (interactive fiction) interpreter in the market works, but the text is much too small to be very usable. The upcoming Twisty 2 (Alpha available at the google code page for the project) gives you the ability to scale up the font, though, and we'll hopefully have a stable release of that soon that will make games like Zork, Hitchhiker's Guide, and etc. playable on the Nook Touch!

Also, Open WordSearch runs perfectly on the Nook Touch and takes full advantage of the large screen, scaling well. "Sky" theme looks best.

On the topic of Manga Watcher, some people have said it works, other people say it doesn't... I couldn't get it to bring up the pages to download manga, except on older versions, and then it crashed when trying to open the manga. S Manga is a good alternative, imo, with its zoom features working properly and the ability to download manga off the internet.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] :
A lot of apps trigger the "default" search. That's probably the problem -- In addition, Kindle for Android doesn't let you turn off page animations and as a result uses more battery.

I'd recommend looking at Aldiko (remap buttons, this is my reader of choice), FBReaderJ or Cool Reader (Cool Reader is very nice)
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] TJay99:
Indeed. That's exactly what it looks like is happening: the default search is activated in Kindle.

I, too, really like Aldiko and it was set to become my reader of choice. But I keep coming back to the Nook Touch built-in reader. For one thing, it "seems" to have the best page/text display, but I know that this can be very subjective depending on the user. The other thing is that I really DO like having the little "book" button in the upper left hand corner that takes me right to the reader and it's last position in the book I'm reading. I know it's not much, but I like it. :)

I am aware that a dev here has created an app which remaps that little button; however, it does not (I believe) allow one to remap the button to any given reader and then have it automatically take one to the last read position in the current book.

Incidentally.... which version of Aldiko are you running? I ended up having to use 2.01 (from Amazon, which was behind) instead of 2.02 available at the market. The latest version wouldn't allow me to download any additional fonts.

I haven't tried FBReader, nor CoolReader. Perhaps I should!
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] :
I'm unsure what version of Aldiko I'm using; I don't have my Nook with me at the moment. I plan to switch to CoolReader, though, because (through that app that remaps the button) you can actually launch CoolReader without any problems. I don't like the default reader because it only does a full refresh every 6-or-so pages, and that results in some ghosting that I'm able to notice, as well as less sharp fonts.

On the topic of the Nook Reader's "display", it's really identical to Aldiko or any other reader. It's a white screen with black text on it. Aldiko is noticably slow, from what I've noticed, so that's why I'm planning on trying CoolReader. I won't need to remap my buttons back to stock, either, since CoolReader lets you use volume keys (my right hand page buttons are mapped to volume, while the left are mapped to back and menu) to navigate.

If I'm not mistaken, CoolReader also functions with the default button mapping, too!
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Renfast:
I've installed CoolReader 2 days ago and I've to say... it's perfect, very customizable etc, but... In the buttons configuration (I'm not sure about this, can't verify it now) appears top left button etc, and if you remap them they don't work (not sure about this)

For manga reading, I totally love perfect viewer, totally customizable, changing pages with a single click or going to the previous page with a click on the left side
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] :
CoolReader works fine remapped.
