[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phatdawg:
1) I get SOD about once a day regardless of how I have it set up. It does happen less with wifi on sleep only but at work I need to push data, so my wifi is on all the time and...it's an issue, not terrible but annoying none the less.

2) Battery drain, I get about 36 hours if I use it lightly, but I tend to charge it nightly because I can't take a chance of heavy use at work and loosing it.

3) PDB, never had this problem.

4) The screen turns off by just hitting the screen off button. This isn't a big a deal actually, since you gotta plug the thing in, another button isn't a big deal. I have katecca screen lock and off in my bar at the bottom, so it's easy to turn off. I also have the nook power off widget but I haven't used it much.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 511pf:
That's great. Thanks a lot for the responses. Really helpful.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipeench:
I have only had it CM7 on my nook for one day, so im not sure about the battery issue. But i know i put it down around 10pm last night with less then half a battery and i got home from work around 3pm and it had about 25% batt left.

Besides that sometimes when i plug it in it stays lit up. but thats a "meh who cares" to me at least.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biohazrd51:
Running 7.1.0 RC1 with Dal's OC, On Demand, with lowered Voltage on the steps

1) I've only had one SOD ever (knock on wood), it seems to be mostly cleared up

2) Battery drain has not been a problem for me. On .29 it was more only 1%/hr for battery drain.

3) I haven't experienced early battery death at all

4) It isn't a big deal, especially if you charge with the provided outlet adapter for quick charge. Don't see this preventing you from installing CM7.

If these stats are correct from ASI (I'm hoping they are, they sound right), I'm at 76% after 3 days, 19 hours uptime, and 7 hours of it without sleep.

I say go for it. Even if it is off SD (mines on emmc) it is still a much better experience than stock/rooted. I doubt anything will make me change from CM7, unless ICS becomes a viable option in the future.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 511pf:
Just a follow up on this. I installed CM7 and have not had a Sleep of Death, have normal battery drain comparable to stock rooted, and have not had premature battery death. The screen does come on when I plug the Nook in, but like everyone mentioned, I just turn it off and it's no big deal.

So far, my wifi actually reconnects more reliably than on stock rooted 1.1. I'm overclocked to 1200 Mhz, with no voltage or other adjustments.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 511pf:
Following up again - I get a SOD or a reboot about every five times I turn off the screen in CM7. I tried to use Tasker to turn wifi off with the screen, which has solved the problem for some people but this made no difference at all. I was running a nightly from late July and updated to another from late August (173?) but the problem hasn't gone away. I may try Stock 1.2 rooted.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenmoment:
I had no SODs from almost a week with n165; I upgraded to n171, got an SOD first time I put it down for a while, so I reflashed n165 and I'm sticking with it until I hear of something I need.

WiFi always on.

As always, YMMV.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Just a little update:

Since using nb169, I got a few SoD, did update again to nb173, still got hit occasionally.

I never have this kind of issue before but lately.

The changes I made

a. Played around with ADW Launcher setting (especially Desktop Animation)

b. Recently installed Simi Clock and updated some apps (such Nook app)

c. Recently having 8GB uSD card plugged in.

For some reason, I don't think a. and b. causing problem but c.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miss_october:
can you run cm7 with the 1.2 or 1.3 updates from b&n? im on a autonooter 1.1 and have been wanting to move up to something better especially if i can have flash finally.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
CM7 is custom Gingerbread-based ROM, it has nothing to do with stock ROM and there is absolutely no relationship between the two (except they are both Android OS)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miss_october:
thanks for the response :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 511pf:
One last (I think) follow up. I installed stock rooted 1.2 thinking it CM7 causing me problems over the last month. Turns out I had the same problem on CM7.

I read my Nook before I go to sleep, so it's often dark in the room. I turn the brightness WAY down. The problem ended up being the Adjbrightness "Lock brightness so other applications can't change" setting. It has something to do with screen dimming when turning off the screen. This setting being on was causing frequent reboots both on CM7 and stock rooted 1.2. I ended up going to ScreenFilter instead, and the problem has completely gone away at least so far.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BitingChaos:
I try to stay up to date with the latest nightlies.

1) This is not completely solved. It's rare now (I think it was issues with WiFi), but it has still happened to me recently.

2) Battery drain was fixed with kernels that support Deep Sleep correctly. Not any 7.0.x builds, only 7.1.x+ (RC1) and nightlies have fixed kernel. So this shouldn't be an issue (unless you have a rogue app that is keeping the CPU active, which would prevent Deep Sleep. The "CPU Spy" app will let you see if this is working correctly).

3) This is better, but still a problem. My Nook Color will just switch off at 4% battery now. It use to switch off when I was a lot higher. It's not supposed to do that. It's supposed to gracefully shutdown when low. I have several iOS and Apple devices, so I'm use to things shutting down correctly when low. My Nook Color always just randomly powers off.

4) This isn't a big deal. The screen comes on when charging, but you can turn it off if you want. It stays dim, and the Nook Color charges fine. Dalingrin (the kernel developer guy) said leaving the screen on was a fix to some nasty crash.

#3 is the biggest issue to me, as I've been in the middle of something when my Nook Color randomly powered off. Clearing battery stats, rebooting, etc - none of that makes it perfect.

#1 use to be the biggest problem, but it's very rare for me now.

#2 has been fixed, and #4 doesn't bother me.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stolenmoment:
I misspoke; n165 SOD's on me too, so I conclude that I dl'd 165 and didn't flash it; I reflashed n161 and have been stable since.

I keep WiFi on for email and podcast updates.

I've always got an 8G uSD card in.
[General Questions and Answers] jjenri09:
Hey Everyone,

I'm new to the forum, but I was hoping that someone could help me out with this. I downloaded the email.apk app from this thread (I couldn't just post the outside link because I'm a new user) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1117115 and it works great, its the apk that bypasses the exchange security pin. I was just wondering, does anyone know of a widget for this as Email app as well?

Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] sweetnsour:
i dont think theres a widget but you can try this:

move the email.apk to the internal memory, then check to see if theres a widget. if that doesnt work, then there is no widget for email
[General Questions and Answers] hans_joerg:
A look at the source code on source.android.com clearly shows that there is no widget on the stock email app

I love it man! Any chance you could make another version for the nexus one? Because it's just a little on the small side. Thanks man. Big ups!

Thanks for the compliments. I am going to stay with small, slow, and simple on this one. I use it and like it on my Nexus One. Where it really speeds things up though, is on a Nook Color.

Note that the graphic I used can be found at the Wikipedia article link in the first post. If someone wants to make a bigger, faster, flashier version I don't mind.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hogg2500:
I found this on T-Mobile's G2 Support Community:

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-1809

"On July 27, T-Mobile G2 devices will begin to receive an Over-The-Air (OTA) update to Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread). The update will roll out to customers in waves over the coming weeks.

The update provides the following enhancements and improvements.

New features:

Android 2.3.3 (Gingerbread)

Tell HTC

Google Books added

Notification bar color scheme is changed to black

New battery indicator, phone, and web icons

Color-coded network icon and signal indicator added. Green when connected to Google servers. Grey when not connected.

Pressing the power key while on a call disables the proximity sensor

Fixed or improved issues:

Wi-Fi calling improvements

New SMS and email notification improvements

Improvements to sending MMS from the Gallery

Your phone will show a notification when you have received the update. Alternately, to check if your phone has the update, follow these steps:

From Home screen, press the Menu key.

Tap Settings.

Tap About Phone.

Tap System Updates.

Important: Do NOT call T-Mobile to receive the update before September 1. The timeline for receiving the OTA cannot be expedited. T-Mobile cannot manually push the software to customers who ask to receive it.

Software upgrades at retail stores

Beginning August 5, you will be able to go to a T-Mobile retail store to update your T-Mobile G2, T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide, and T-Mobile myTouch 4G to the most recent software version. This helps if you have not gotten the Over-The-Air (OTA) update or if you cannot perform the USB tethered update.

If the OTA or tethered update fail, here is what to expect at the retail store:

Updating at the store can erase all the data on the device. The SD card will not lose data.

Back up your data, synchronize your contacts to Google or T-Mobile Backup, and write down the names of all the applications you will want to re-install.

The update can take up to 30 minutes to complete.

The update requires that your phone has over 50% battery life at the store.

The rep at the retail store will:

Remove your personal SD card.

Insert a software update SD card.

Wait for the update to download and install on the device.

Remove the software update SD card.

Insert your personal SD card again."

Excited for 2.3 - stock is fantastic. The only issue remains that I need root to run VPN Connections for work. So close! Thanks for posting.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zkid2010:
If you get the OTA and are reading this (or have read it), please post back your region and when you got the OTA.

thanks!! :D

-If my phone is rooted, will I need to root again?

-Will all the system settings revert to default?

thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] x6369x:
Can anyone confirm whether or not this is the same update that was leaked in May?

I am running Build 2.13.531.8 CL56018.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kitila:
YES u will lose root and have to wait for a new way to to change the hboot.....u will still have ur system settings if ur on stock rom...
[G2 and Desire Z General] casron:
Thank you for sharing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] trjcasper:
What other ROMS can someone rooted run that will defeat/prevent download and loss of root?

Are ROMS based on the .5 and .8 leaks safe? Or do we need CM or miui?
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingston73:
I'd love to hear this as well. SO...nobody so far has actually gotten this update? Really? When you do, like somebody else said, post where you are please.
[G2 and Desire Z General] [hfm]:
The location of the person never mattered, it's completely random based on EMEI or some such.

I am just waiting for someone to post the direct link so I can manually update the G2 my wife inherited from me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] flamingblue8z:
i was about to say the same thing, location DOES NOT matter in the least. I think it's partly first-come, first served based on check-in (*#*#CHECKIN#*#* to force it) and also IMEI based too. But most importantly, I also would like to see the manual update ZIP, as well as the version.
[G2 and Desire Z General] :
Don't worry about rooting 2.3.3 we've already done that, and it's great that the G2 is seeing a update for those stock users :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] lawalty:
I want to stay rooted with my GB CM nightly. It is really close to perfection, and now since Netflix is working smooth as butter, there is no reason to change. Since im running the latest nightly, would I see something that I would click to download?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
???

If you aren't on stock you won't get the update. CM strips out the ability to receive otas, would get a lot of bricks if they didn't.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
The rom has been in the dev forum since 05/10. The full pc10img for stock users is over there somewhere too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] shabgard:
Can someone please direct me to the stock 2.2 ROM I'm on my phone and its pain in the but searching, thank you.

I wanna see if I can get the update.

Edit: found it and flashed but still no OTA.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zkid2010:
Really? You have a link to some proof this OTA rollout started today is the exact same image as that leaked one?

I'd like to see that pls.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
No I can't provide proof of that. Sorry. But I have read in a few places that they were the same.
[G2 and Desire Z General] elpresspl:
That's unconfirmed though... I will have more info later on tonight
[G2 and Desire Z General] kjacksonmusic:

[G2 and Desire Z General] Stargazer418:
Oh really? Look at this entire thread, this entire subforum, this entire forum, then tell me if anyone cares. If no one cared, XDA wouldn't exist.

[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
Uh lots of people in this thread have went back and they did so specifically for this. If no one in this thread has s-on and 100 PERCENT stock froyo then yes you are right. And in that case I will pc10img this ***** back tomorrow morning and gfree s on just so we can get this waiting game over with. But I'm pretty sure some people have done that here.

keyboard not working after Gingerbread upgrade

Updated my Desire Z to Gingerbread. But now my keyboard is not working at all. Any one experiencing the same? Any solutions/
[G2 and Desire Z General] theebest:
Not true my gf is soff and rooted and got the update twice already >.<

I posted a picture of it downloading the update a few pages ago
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tankslappa:
It's the lack of accurate information which is murder here. Originally the DZ was mentioned along with the DHD to be getting it at the end of June. The DHD got it, the DZ didn't. I sent HTC support a "what's going on?" message and they said "Oh end of June was DHD only, no time scale for the DZ".

A few weeks later there's the Desire and Desire Z getting gingerbread by end of July... Time ticks by again, and eventually 1st of August it turns up.

I don't know if you guys with the G2 have had the same sort of experience, but it looks like it.

HTC really need to:

1) Pull their fingers out and get updates (such as Gingerbread which has been out since 2010) and get things out a bit faster. Maybe stop making quite so many phone, and start supporting the ones they have already sold!

2) Learn how to communicate properly. Disinformation just makes people distrust them. This is my first HTC, and may possibly be my last. I will remember this when it comes to update time.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
I'm sorry but updates are a mixed bag EVERYWHERE. G2X owners have dealt with rebooting and overheating phones for months with no word from LG, yet when they finally get their promised update it is a half baked pos. HTC may take a while, but at least they usually get it right. And they just released gingerbread for the original Desire, a phone most expected to be left in the dust by now, pretty nice of them.

Would people really rather an earlier buggy release, or rather than do a small roll out they do a massive one that bricks phones?

Cool your engines guys. We are on xda after all, and gingerbread of all flavors has been available for a while now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tronmech:
This has it's own drawbacks, given the nature of software development. Staged rollouts are easier to stop.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Tankslappa:
I agree that being able to stop a roll out is useful, and although I have the DZ file I haven't done it yet, but that is now at least my choice. I choose to do it a few days after the early adopters.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stargazer418:
But it failed to install due to the custom recovery. The point is, seemingly nobody that is fully stock has successfully downloaded and installed the update.
[G2 and Desire Z General] brownbomba:
A guy on tmonews.com say he got it this morning on his US G2. I don't think he had to do any tricks to get like 'checkin' or wiping the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
True. But the fact that our phone is pure Google, the stock OS is not complete garbage like most cases. Secondly, to have custom roms built on this (to stop the overwhelming wave of sense hell lately) will be a true God send. Not only do we need more aosp custom roms, but to have some with the ACTUAL real proprietary drivers for our phone in some cases makes it unmatched. Those proprietary drivers make all the difference in the world. So to have roms built on that will be a nice shot in the arm for us aosp lovers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] starfcker69:
Can somebody post LOGCAT instructions or a link? TIA!
[G2 and Desire Z General] lawalty:
I think no one will get the OTA update unless certain parameters are met. On whether or not you have to be stock and non-rooted with s-on, i don't know. We the people at the XDA will have to bring our phones into a T-Mobile store to get this GB update, OR - we can wait until our buddy (secret T-Mobile employee) will leak the update to us via this thread..

A few days ago, I was all ditching CM7 nightlies, going back to my backup Froyo rom, which not even a day, I JUST HAD to go back to CM7..

I think i'll wait.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kpetrie77:
Download aLogcat or similar from the market. When you get the OTA notification, accept the download and open aLogcat. Hit save and look for the download link. That easy. :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] johnacraft:
I'm running stock Android 2.2 (albeit rooted, with Clockwork), and I've gotten the OTA update - twice.

I've downloaded alogcat and will try to grab the link.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hogg2500:
Thanks =)
[G2 and Desire Z General] jorenko:
Download this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&feature=search_result

Open it up and add a filter for "FOTA" (without quotes)

Whenever you do a checkin (open dialer, dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#*) you will see one of two responses in the log:

1. FOTA_CANCEL: you're not allowed to update yet

2. FOTA_UPDATE: This will include the URL to download the update, and you can then save the log and post it here for all to revel in.
[G2 and Desire Z General] starfcker69:
Thanks! I installed aLogcat from market - tiny app installed quickly and I was able to view the log going way back. Unfortunately I did NOT get the OTA and I am posting this so that someone that DOES get the OTA can post the link here!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lockedown:
I'm stock but rooted, and I have the OTA update waiting for me now (already downloaded). Not installing since I want to keep root and some people have reported problems.
[G2 and Desire Z General] hogg2500:
Run logcat and get us the link.
[G2 and Desire Z General] flamingblue8z:
Here's a suggestion: Download aLogCat if you haven't yet. Your IMEI got the greenlight, so reboot to recovery, and clear your CACHE partition... then do *#*#CHECKIN#*#* and check the update screen and it SHOULD be re-downloading the update. Then you can check aLogCat and the URL will be there!
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
If you cleared your cache partition and god logcat running, wouldn't it prompt to update the download again?

Come on guys this is f-in torture anymore! The android gods are giving it to all the wrong ppl grrr
[G2 and Desire Z General] lawalty:
This is HUGE evidence that NO ONE has received this 'precious' update, because NO ONE has used logcat to give us the link.

IF

Someone did post the link, what do we do about it? It's not like we all can begin to download this and install.. I want to wait until the XDA devs tear it apart and create the same rom with s-off and root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ACHILLES R32:
I installed logcat will post link if i get the update by Friday. On Friday Im taking a trip to my local T-Mobile store to get the update.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lockedown:
No, it's not. It's evidence I have a job and all I have time to do is make a simple post. Why would I troll a random G2 thread? Cmon, man.
[G2 and Desire Z General] lawalty:
Yep, i guess your right then. Talking about something is sure evidence of it.

Sure! Cmon, man.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lockedown:
I'm sure someone else will post it. I installed alogcat, but don't see how to clear my cache in recovery so I stopped bothering. Like I said, busy busy.

Honestly though, there's no conspiracy. If you're waiting for a full ROM why the hell are you even here? Just to snipe?
[G2 and Desire Z General] lawalty:
LOL, not to snipe (BTW, i clicked your 'Thanks' button because I liked your response) but on the edge of my seat on the presence of this GB update. There is a lot of very smart people watching this thread on the appearance of this GB update, and it seems its just right on the event horizon on it appearing. Matter of fact, I'm thinking it will pop up (on this thread) even before I get finishing typing this line.

Oh well!..

Since, with all the rooting issues regarding this update, would you update or wait until a rooted version gets posted?
[G2 and Desire Z General] mmafighter121:
Since I can't post links yet..

search youtube for: HTC G2 OTA (Over-The-Air) Update Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread Update

someone should ask this guy some questions maybe?

Also would having a phone with the leaked 2.3.3 prevent me from getting the newest ota update?
[G2 and Desire Z General] lawalty:
Wow for the video! Here you guys go:

EDIT: after watching the video, I do notice that in the pull down notification area, there are no toggle shortcuts. That must be a custom rom thing.
