you mad brah? need a hug? I mean seriously everytime someone says something about Apple you go ape ****. GTFO of the Evo forums if you love Apple products so much. I read your **** about the Macbook Pro and how you dogged others because they could "not" afford" a Macbook Pro. Personally I dont give a **** about Apple, never have and never will.. Last Apple product I used was an Apple II from years ago.

However I am not saying I dont like Apple, nor do I hate Apple, I just dont give a **** about Apple because of what it has made people like "YOU" become. Total assholes no matter where you go.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
No my problem is with idiots. In this case it's the idiot who is talking **** about a guy who stepped down because of his most likely pending death due to cancer. All he could do was bad mouth the guy, and for what? Because he is the CEO of a company that competes with the company of a product he bought! That's just freaking sad. If a family member of his falls ill due to cancer I don't think they'd want anyone to treat them with any type of disrespect.

That thing about Macbooks? Its not about not being able to afford a Mac, it's about acting like they are worthless or don't present some kind of value for the added price. It's a different market with different consumers. Again, my problem is with a few specific idiots who fail to see the obvious or use common sense.

Steve Jobs transformed a failing company into what is known as Apple today. His health has suffered throughout the years, but he stayed with Apple and continued to make appearances. That is commendable at the very least.

Sure, I disagree with the way that Apple handles patent issues and locking down software. And claiming "revolutionary" things that have been done before. They do make good pieces of hardware though, even though I could never use an iPhone because of a small screen.The hardware is overpriced, but it is quality work and works well for what it is designed for. I don't have a Mac, as I am not some wealthy kid, but my experiences have been positive with them.

Apple helped kicked off a massive technological race. I disagree with the way the company handles software and patents, yes, but it is still a good company. Obviously it is doing well financially.

I will never switch to iPhone because of small screen and software, but it isn't that bad a piece of hardware. To each his own, choose whatever they want. Options are always good.

And Steve Jobs deserves commendation for making a successful company and sticking through it even while sick.

I'm 16, make minimum wage and only a sophomore. Let us try to be reasonable about this.

Agreed. My friend who has an iphone cant wait to switch to an Android when her plan is up. I think most people famously live by "never satisfied".

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveolio:
If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

I followed this post about installing cyanogenmod 7 onto an SD card to boot my nook color off of the SD card.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000957

Everything worked great and it has been up and running for several days, very happy with the results.

Now I was trying to put gapps on the SD card and I followed the instructions shown below:

How to install market and gapps:

After you have booted into the CM7 on SD card for the first time and set up wifi access (important!)

Go to http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.ph...Latest_Version and at the end there is a table with various google apps versions. Get the one suitable for your cyanogen version (CM7 is the latest for now). The file is named gapps-....zip

shutdown your nook and take the SD card out, insert it into your computer.

Copy the gapps-... file to the SD card on the first partition (titled boot) without changing the file name.

Insert the uSD card back into the NOOK and boot into "Recovery mode." To boot into recovery mode: Boot normally into Android, then from desktop hold power key until a poweroff menu appears, In the poweroff menu choose "reboot", in the next menu choose "recovery" and press "OK". The nook would reboot straight into recovery.​

So i have tried this several times and DL the file twice just to be sure but every time I reboot the system just comes up normally. I wonder if the gapps install package is named wrong? I don't know how to make this work.

Any suggestions?

Thank A LOT for your help!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
That's the problem.

You want it boot into Recovery, not Normally.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggnoodle:
turn on the NC, like normal, then power down, then you'll get option to reboot, reboot to recovery.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveolio:
I'm sorry if my original post didn't make this clear, but I was trying to boot into recovery. I held down the power button until I got the shut down options and pressed restart then pressed recover mode. Every time I try this the nook just restarts in normal mode. I'm not sure if I've done something wrong or if this method doesn't work.

Just to give more information the file I used was:

gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

I didn't unzip the file I just copied it to the SD card BOOT partition.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
Seems like you've done what eggnoodle suggested and if it didn't work, the only choice is using combination of N & power button. It needs some skills.

Try that, won't hurt.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveolio:
I tried that several times, and it didn't work. :(

Is there a way to verify if I am in recovery mode? I'm not sure I am actually making it into recovery mode.

Further down in the instructions it says that to install other stuff anything with the name "update-***.zip" will install on recovery mode. So I will try renaming the gapps file to this and give it a try.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
If you see the "Penguin" with scrolling text running horizontally on the NC screen, then it is in the Recovery mode.

If you see the Android guy or CM7 logo, you are in the normal booting mode.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveolio:
Ok, so my problem is that I can never get the nook color in recovery mode. Perhaps the instructions on the forum are kinda flawed.

This is what I am doing:

Hold down Nook button.

Hold down power button

Loading screen appears then goes blank

Release power button for less than a second

Hold down power button again.

Wait for loading screen to appear

Release power button

Wait for screen to go blank

Release the Nook button

Then the NC just boots up like normal. Is this the correct process?

The NC boots up normal if I choose restart in recover mode from the shutdown menu also.

Any suggestions?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] votinh:
As I said, you need some skills.

Don't panic!

After a few tries and when you get it in, you will mumble "hmm, it's nothing like the instructions, it's much simply than that, wheewwww"
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggnoodle:
Did you try going into recovery while in CM7 by powering it off and selecting reboot>reboot to recovery?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveolio:
I did try that, just boots up in normal mode.

I cannot get this thing to work, I have also tried several different ways to boot up using the home button and power button I can find a combination that works.

so frustrating!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggnoodle:
Maybe start over fresh with Cm7 and gapps install?

I intall CM7 and gapps at the same time...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveolio:
Just to be clear I didn't try this because the instructions said do not do it.

Ok, so I reinstalled with gapps and cyanogenmod zip files both on the boot SD before it was installed and it took, but there were a few hang ups like it kept bringing in stuff from my phone when I linked to my google account. So I think I should be good.

Thanks for the suggestions.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eggnoodle:
That happen to me too. It installed a wallpaper that was on my phone that I no longer use. Strange? But as long as it worked, that what I cared about! ;)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveolio:
Yup same thing to me, it installed the wallpaper and some other apps.

Why won't it install angry birds, the market says it's not compatible? What the heck's up with that?

If you are having issues booting into recovery when booting onto the SD card. This post should help

The new market has issues with nook color. Market is looking for a 160 density level when the nook color is set to 161 to avoid panics.

Ive been using LCDDensity from the market and choosing Density 160 and changing the drop down to killall and click apply (reboot)

after it reboots go into manage applications and do a force stop on the market and clear the data/cache

it will reload and you will see all the options until the market resets itself. very annoying i know but its a temp fix until someone figures out how to fix this

Same problem as Steveolio - error message during recovery

[HTC Wildfire S] l00k:
Is there one?

If not how do we get one/where do they come from?
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
eng hboot

No

and

They come from (software) engineers.

For those that did not ask... A engineering bootloader is a hboot that extends the adb commands/control to/over your phone. They are typically not needed (today), but were used as some of the first tools for unlocking radios, etc. I will keep this short so I don't raise too many new questions. An eng hboot increases the chances of one bricking their phones. It does allow for more adb commands and isn't typically developed until there is a soft unlock process. And you say what about the A510c soft unlock? It fools the cdma phone into thinking it has a sim and returns the code for it (just like the hardware unlock). It doesn't identify the block of memory, compromise it, etc. Also if you find one floating around there in cyberspace, I personally wouldn't be the first to test flashing it (see bold above).

All the same, great questions.

Hello friends,

I just messed up my DVP while updateing dell's update.

I was updating Mango 7220 as soon as i updated it n connected to zune it prompted for dell's update.

I went through with the update and got at the last of the 9 steps i.e. restarting the device. after waiting for good 30 odd minutes(as there was no activity) I removed the phone from the USB n tried to start the phone but it didn't. no flash of light no dell logo nothing. I've removed the phone at the same step during my mango beta update and it worked without issues that time.

:(

anybody who has any input to get me out of this situation pls post here.

really need help here ppl.
[Venue Pro General] Ephez:
You can try an Hard reset by holding down CAMERA and VOLUME DOWN buttons!
[Venue Pro General] varunverma:
nothing happened. no reaction to any combination of button presses.:(
[Venue Pro General] raiderfan247365:
are you sure? Make sure the battery is out, then hold the camera and volume down buttons, put battery in then boot while holding buttons, very least you should see a black screen that says "Dell"
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
Are you holding Power as well? That combo should bring you to the download screen where you can try to load your last backup.
[Venue Pro General] varunverma:
well, i tried pressing vol - key and camera buttons witjout the battry and tried to boot thr phone after inserting the battry with buttons still pressed.

and also tried pressing three buttons with battery in.

nothing happened but i could see a light flashing theough the small slit(gap)between the screen parr n keyboard part.

it flashes on n off till i jold the power button. no reactoon when other two buttons r pressed. :(
[Venue Pro General] efjay:
What was your battery level like when updating, could you be out of power? Tried plugging into the charger for a while?
[Venue Pro General] varunverma:
i can feel the charge when i touch the battery connectors with my tongue.

anyways i've put the phone on charging.

its been 10mins so far n nothing on screen. :(
[Venue Pro General] elnino_legolas:
I suggest you should try to update on another computer or laptop, cuz I used to bricked my dvp once when i was updating to mango beta on my own laptop but it went smoothly on my friend's one.

When my dvp bricked, I almost lost all the hope to bring it back. I left it like that for few days then tried to restore it again and surprisingly I got my dvp back. I think I'm lucky that time but if there is nothing you can do, it may worth a try :D

btw, what's your firmware version before update. Is it x.1500.7004.105? cuz i update to the new firmware 212 and i see it only fix the memory.
[Venue Pro General] varunverma:
can u elaborate what happened with ur dvp.

i've left my dvp aside so that the battery drains out completly.will try to charge it after few days n then quo try to restore it.

i successfully updated the phone to mango n then tried to install the official dell update. i think they r not compatible with each other.

anyways,keeping my fingered crossed. let's hope battery drain works.:|
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeassumpcao:
Hello there!

I recently tried a custom ROM for my X8, I'm using MiniCM7, found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=964223

However, the description says Offline Charging is supported, but after I installed the ROM I noticed it didn't work.

So I started searching for a solution here in the forums, but I could only find one thread about stock firmware =/

Is there a way to add this feature in a custom ROM?

I tried to contact the thread author, but no sucess.

Thanks in advance!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dare-Devil Inside:
When you connect the charger battery icon shows up. What's the problem?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeassumpcao:
The "problem" is that the phone ONLY charges if it's ON!

So, when I connect the charger it turns the phone auttomatically ON, if i turn it OFF it goes back on and so it goes.

The option that makes the phone charge while OFF is called Offline Charging, but it is not working, got it?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asycid:
When I empty the battery, and phone turns off automaticly, it charges offline. Else it's turns back on. BTW I don't see the point why you must charge your phone offline. Just turn on Airplane mode!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Really? I thought offline charging is that when you turn off your phone, the battery would charge without being plugged in. When I reboot my phone, the battery percentage is always, like, 15% higher. I thought that was offline charging :p

Well, to tell you the truth, it has happened only when I was on Froyo.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeassumpcao:
If you say so...

That's not the point I want to discuss, I only wanna know if someone has a solution for this.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockitOut11:
1 - Charge to 100%

2 - Turn Off the Phone

3 - Go to Recovery Mode

4 - Wipe Battery Stats

5 - Use your phone to uncharge your battery completly

6 - Charge to 100%

And now check if that bug is still happening ;)

If is still happening that, then... ask a friend for a X8 Battery only to see if is a bug or your battery damaged.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeassumpcao:
Well, it seems that the ROM was updated to 2.0.7 and now the Offline Charging feature is working.
