[Windows Phone 7 General] Strike_Eagle:
Symbian users are too familiar with how the alarm clock works.

The phone will start itself and stay in the clock mode, mean it will give you two option:

Snooze + Turn off the alarm ( for that day only) and then it will ask you either to turn on the phone or not.

Well... it is kinda annoying with you have to press twice to turn off the alarm and shut the phone off/on...

I really would rather to have my phone run by me all night long with the charger. It doesn't hurt. And Windows Phones will turn themselves on if you plug in the charger, no matter what... so it is kinda pointless to ask for that.

BTW, it is a nice feature to have, but it doesn't hurt me if MS doesn't add it.
[Windows Phone 7 General] fivecheebs:
Agreed... I cant see the need for an alarm when the phone is off... Unless it turned itself off, in which case you got more serious problems.

I want an alarm program to work in the background, AND be able to have its own volume settings... I don't like having to remember to switch on the alarm software, make sure its active, then adjust the volume ever time I want to go to bed... especially if its been a "good" night. The WP stock alarm software has too few options, and switches itself off after a predetermined set of time (~5 mins is it?)... What is the good of an alarm clock that turns itself off?
[Windows Phone 7 General] killerb255:
Then I stand corrected, as this isn't unlike a PC with its CMOS battery (otherwise PCs wouldn't be able to keep the current time without having an Internet connection to connect to an NTP server).
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
With off, like the battery removed, This would be a dumb request and I would not vote for it. How would an app work if there was no power to it ?

As for the built in alarm app, it's simple and I have NEVER missed a meeting because of it. I use it everytime I travel and dont even touch the in-room alarm clocks. No need to update this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sermann:
No need to change that

The alarm works fine as it is for me: I put my phone in silence mode every evening and leave is charging. It always woke me up when needed.

Given how much else needs to be done or enhanced on the Windows Phone platform, I don't think this request should be a priority.

Cheers,

Stephen
[Windows Phone 7 General] aquanaut88:
There are oddities with WP7, but not life-altering. Won't charge in 'off' mode. WiFi sync works only while charging. Alarm subsystem functions only while in sleep/awake mode.

For alarm clock -- airplane mode, plug into charger, sleep mode (via power button or just set it down on it's face).

In the morning, alarm goes off, hit dismiss, hold back button pulls up airplane mode, flick it off, and start button takes me back to homescreen, fully charged and ready to go. Unlike WM5/6 where the alarm subroutine was unreliable, WP7 is refreshingly stable and reliable for my needs.

Cheers
[Windows Phone 7 General] helterskelter:
For this to work they'll have to re-engineer how the phone acts when you turn it off.

As of now, when you turn your Windows Phone off - it is COMPLETELY OFF.

Old Nokias that turned on for alarms weren't really OFF - they were in sleep mode with airplanemode on.

Thats why your old Nokia battery drains slowly even though the phone is off.

If you dont want to use your phone when you're sleeping, put it in flight mode - IT'S THE EXACT SAME EFFECT - JUST SMARTER.

Hello everyone,

I just made an online petition to obtain ICS for our device. I know someone can say we only want last release of an operating system and such. In my opinion, that's false. We want something we paid for. I gave LG my trust and they disappointed me. Please, sign the petition, if you share my thoughts, or at least give it a read.

Thanks to all who'll help out

[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
Why dont you just file a complaint directly to the your country's consumer protection agency?
[LG Optimus 2x] tiwiz:
Mainly for two reasons, mate:

- I have many friends with LG2x and they can't flash, for a million of reasons, they are afraid of bricks, afraid of not finiding confortable with custom roms, bugs, etc... and I, as CM user, think that we should all get updates, for the money we spent in the phone and the disappointing feeling. We use CM, but it's bad LG just discontinued her flagship phone.

- It's not only Italy's problem: if it were just Italy, I would have worked on other releases and made it available as custom rom, as every other person on this forum would do, but it's a common problem, and I thought we need a common solution.

Thanks for your reply, if I sounded rude, please forgive me, it's only difficult to explain such things in a foreign language.

Tiwiz
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
no, its fine. I did sign the petition before replying to the thread. The consumer protection agency one was just a suggestion. I am in Maldives and we dont have an LG office/branch here, therefor we cannot do anything against them.

nice try, but no one will give a f*-ck about it !

as for other android phones : you get the version installed & 1 update ...

so ... froyo + GB , that´s it. then our phone is outdated.

companies want to make money & sell new phones, so that´s their policy ...

i can sign your petition if you like, but it will change nothing ...

sorry, but that´s the truth

but at least we have official CM support, so when ICS SDK is available, we will get it from this source :)
[LG Optimus 2x] eniux:
Even the gb leaks are based on froyo kernels. Face it we are never going to get gingerbread let alone ICS because LG simply can't do it. (I blame nvidia aswell btw but thats a whole different story)

[Nook Color General] votinh:
B&N will release new NC, called NOOKcolor 2 in November 7th (?) to compete with KF.

http://www.slashgear.com/bn-nook-color-2-tipped-for-nov-7-in-kindle-fire-challenge-28191696/

I personally think B&N should make the NC2 as a full tablet, not a 2nd-gen e-reader. Camera, microphone, .... will be a big boost, otherwise, ehhh, I don't know
[Nook Color General] pharpe:
Damn I just ordered the Nook Color Wednesday. Probably should have waited. Any ideas on the price point?
[Nook Color General] votinh:
I would expect it keeping around $250 range.
[Nook Color General] BitingChaos:
They're going to have to set it to $199 to be considered.

If Amazon has a tablet packed with features for $199, why would they buy a B&N tablet with less functionality for $249?

B&N is selling the Nook Color for $149 on eBay. That will probably be the standard price after the Kindle Fire is released.
[Nook Color General] pharpe:
149 is for the refurbs. new is still at 249. can't imagine the Nook 2 being cheaper.
[Nook Color General] jgaf:
Since you ordered yours so close to the new one, maybe you can exchange it. That's if you bought from BN
[Nook Color General] unsivil_audio:
Packed with features? Are you serious? Its almost the exact same as the Nook Color (save the dual-core cpu).

Honestly, I think they should keep the original color around and sell it at a slightly lower than the KF price point, maybe $179? Perhaps the 2 should be a 10" version (it would be the only 10" 'e-reader' on the market, no?). Give it a little more ram and a dual core processor and call it a day (put it back at the $249 price point).
[Nook Color General] guardianali:
Dual core faster cpu for games and high definition movies. More ram.

Plus... KF has amazon streaming video. Not just books like nook. For non hackers the kf is going to be a much better multimedia device vice just reading. Plus native android market via amazon market.

Gonna be hard to beat software offering wise.

Aaand once hacked.. That dual core cpu will make transcoding native xvid divx files without reencoding much smoother.
[Nook Color General] jgaf:
We can't really start comparing since we don't know what the NC 2 will bring. Posible a dual core cpu, and maybe it will have full access to the market. But its just plain speculation, what we know is that the KF has no sd card slot, so transfering files to it its gonna be a pain, unless you want to upload pirated stuff (movies, tv shoes, videos etc) to their anti-freedom cloud :p lol
[Nook Color General] unsivil_audio:
Not a free service. Amazon prime streaming will run you ~$80/yr. About what a Netflix subscription cost you.

Source?

I agree with everything else you said. Which is why I think the 2 should have a better cpu and more ram.
[Nook Color General] spikexp:
the KF won't have an external storage slot, that's alone make it for all the strong side...
[Nook Color General] japzone:
The KF can never beet the Nook's main killer feature, it's "Unbrickable" without a mod right out of the box. If the Nook2 even has that it will instantly be better then the KF, at least in the Dev community's eyes (and those are the ones that matter)

The KF has no memory card slot. That is deal-breaker for me. I recently bricked my NC. But thanks to all the info on xda I was able to restore her. And I'm running CM7.1 on sd. CM7.1 runs great off an sd card. A dual-boot NC beats the crap out of the KF imho.
[Nook Color General] ThomasKru:
Just got the news about the Nook Color 2. But I can't find any specs beside some rumors.
[Nook Color General] Verfassergeist:
I'll raise you. Code named 'Acclaim,' price point at a speculated $349 10" tablet. Smart touch tablet holding at $139, and the Color at $249. Expect some sort of announcement on Nov. 7th.

Also....this!

[Nook Color General] japzone:
All the Nook Colors and Kindle3s disappeared from my local Walmart Supercenter the shelf that they were on a few days ago is empty with only the price stickers and a few Nook screen protectors hanging around. Also checking the Website it says all the Walmarts within a few dozen miles have "Limited" or "Out of Stock" listed for the Nook Color.

I actually ordered it from overstock.com. They have a 30 full refund return policy so I may just send it back. I'll probably keep it though. It's a refurb and I only paid $149. There is no telling what the Nook 2 will cost. Plus it's going to take a while to get root and for stable roms to be developed.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Yeah $150 isn't much so you might as well keep it. If you get a Nook2 in the future you can use the NC as a test Bed/Custom Tablet/Play Thing permanently.

psyched!

I'm excited, I've been looking into an e-reader for a bit now, and haven't been able to decide on one or the other. I hope the NC2 or whatever it will be called pushes me over the edge :cool:

Interesting about the "expanded boutiques " WSJ is talking about here

[Nook Color General] azshorty2003:
Thus news just made my day. I love my nook so much running CM7. My only complaint was the cpu. Got excited for the KF when it was announced until I started reading the features.

even if the only difference is a dual core processor, I'll buy one. The nook is a great all around entertainment device when you unlock its potential.
[Nook Color General] discothan:
Definitely NC2 needs the above to compete.

Whoa....Amazon Market and Android Market do not have the same published software.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Hey guys... Since there is not a nook 2 forum, i am ok with having this thread. But, i would like to designate this as the official and only Nook 2 thread, until such a time when a board may be created. Please keep all NC2 talk here! Thanks
[Nook Color General] eurosteve:
If you decide to return it, BN has a 14 day money-back period. You can contact them directly and you can return for a full refund. Unfortunately, you pay shipping.
[Nook Color General] italiano1964:
If I'm not mistaken, you can also return it at a B&N store if you have one in the vicinity.
[Nook Color General] iDidItAll4theNookie:
I'm conflicted. The NC has done an admirable job as a DD, which makes replacing it at this point almost unnecessary. Besides, Microcenter is selling all tabs for $50 off, so you can get a 16gb transformer for $349. I think I'm holding out until at least tax season to see what is out then.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Let's see how NC2 can beat the KF.

First, assuming NC2 will still be an e-reader. KF has dual-core, cloud storage, tons of benefits for Prime members, same 7" IPS screen size, costs $200.

How possibly can NC2 beat it with that price?

+ if NC2 has dual-core then it runs behind the KF

+ if NC2 has quad-core. Quad-core for sub-200? Not a chance

+ 10" screen size, then it's a different beast.

+ what else? more ROM, more RAM?

+ if NC2 has the exact same spec. as the current NC but drop price to $200. If so, it can't say it beat KF by price

+ if NC2 has the exact same spec. as the current NC but drop price to $150, yes, beats KF by $50 but then why release NC2 for cheaper?

How the new NC2 beat the KF is remain to be seen.

I really want to see their hardware specification.
[Nook Color General] nocloo:
Love my Nook, hope the new NC2 will be in the same $250 range or cheaper and they keep the existing 7" screen. I don't want a 10" reader.
[Nook Color General] Tschumi:
by having a microsd slot.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Is it how your marketing strategy prior releasing a product? by only having the uSD slot, which already has on the original NC.
[Nook Color General] jaudio:
dual core plus microsd slot( I would rather pay the $50 to keep the slot) for those without 100% 24/7 wifi connectivity. Cloud service is useless without wifi.
[Nook Color General] Nipit:
No more news about Nook2?
[Nook Color General] tranquilchao5:

[Nook Color General] jasoraso:

7" - dual core - more ram / internal memory, more media features - hopefully just as easy to root / install cm7 on!

[Nook Color General] khaytsus:

[Nook Color General] Nburnes:
I would be willing to be it will be just as easy. B&N seem to like the dev community.
[Nook Color General] jaudio:
Cant believe that people are still complaining that its not "sub $199"
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Personally, I am kind of DISAPPOINTED with this new NC2.

Firstly, without camera, microphone and GPS capable, this new NOOK should retain the name of NOOKcolor, yes it should be called NOOKcolor 2, not NOOK Tablet, it isn't a tablet, it is still an e-reader, a pure e-reader.

Secondly, with the promise of beating KF by price, sub-200 claiming, this new device has

+ 1.2GHz dual-core vs. KF dual-core (don't remember how fast) => really not much of difference

+ same 7" IPS 600x1024 (same as NC and KF) = even game

+ 16 GB of space (8GB more than the NC and KF) => yes, 8GB more

+ someone said NC2 has 1GB of RAM, I can't confirm this

+ NC2 0.48" thick vs. KF 0.45" thick => hmmm

+ NC2 14.1 oz vs. KF 14.6 oz => ok, slightly better

What else? yes, NC2 has uSD slot, which KF missed, but NC already has uSD as well, so it's not an upgrade.

Finally, brand-new NC costs $200, brand-new NC2 costs $250 and brand-new KF costs $200.

If brand-new NC costs $200, the recertified ones probably down to $100 plus well support, especially CM7 ready, so:

1. who gonna spend $150 more to buy the exact one that only adds dual-core and 8GB more of space???

2. how they could possible change clients' minds to spend $50 more for a NC2 that has 8GB more of space, and not getting the dual-core KF?
[Nook Color General] 511pf:
If they're calling it the Nook Tablet, it should run Ice Cream Sandwich and include the Android Market. The BN stuff can be installed by default. If they don't do this, they're going to be at a serious competitive disadvantage to the Kindle Fire.
[Nook Color General] pitguy3:
Saw today on a Black Friday website, that WalMart will be having a "Super Sale" this Saturday and the Nook Color will be $199...
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Update: yes, it looks like the new NC2 does have 1GB of RAM.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
After reading over and over and over again, I tone down a bit.

Let's forget about the KF for now, just focus on the NC2 vs. NC.

+ much lighter (14.1 oz vs. 15.8 oz)

+ a bit thinner (0.48" vs. 0.50")

+ 1.0 GHz dual-core vs. 800 MHz single-core (initially indicated of 1.2 GHz)

+ 1GB vs. 512MB of RAM

+ 16GB vs. 8GB of internal memory

+ $250 vs. $200 (retail price)

+ too new and no support vs. fully support by CM7 dev. team.

+ with built-in microphone vs. none (need confirmation after getting the NT on hand)

+ Fully laminated IPS-square screen vs. IPS screen (this still remains to be seen)

Would I spend $50 more for all those? I think a YES.

I still need some time to cool off then run my thought of this NC2 vs. the KF.

I remain to refuse calling the new NC2 as a Tablet, however.

Updated: adding few differences between the NT and NC.
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
It's going to be one very reliable tablet once CM gets their hands on it though.
[Nook Color General] ricoishere2:
Looks pretty good so far, on par with what the NC was to B&N and the direct they wanted to go. It should be a monster once rooted and tweaked. With a custom ROM most certainly down the road, should be nice. The 1 GB of ram is a good min. spec for android devices these days, the NC really could have used it.

I always find it funny people complain about everything and are never satisfied. With the 100+ tablets we have today, none of them are perfect. Find the one with the specs that suit your needs and buy it.
[Nook Color General] bladerunner0427:
I just bought my Nook Color a year ago. This NC2 is awesome at this price point. Blows away the other ereaders and many of the Android tablets. I could care less about gps, camera and all that other crap that's already built into my HTC Amaze. I just need something to complement my phone. Don't think I will be buying this though since my NC runs great on a dual-boot sd running CM7.1. Glad I put my money into B&N. My dream tablet would be a quadcore Android/Win8 device. I think sometime in 2012 this will happen.
[Nook Color General] les02jen17:
I hope the dev community would be fast in rooting and devving this beast! :D
[Nook Color General] Dante of the Inferno:
Since the NC 2 will be released in just 2 weeks, I just hope that those still loyal to the original NC will continue to receive CyanogenMod support. To that end, it would be nice to see both get CM9 support (i.e. Ice Cream Sandwich). From the specs, it seems that the only hardware difference is the dual-core processor. Either way, CM9 is my main concern, since ICS finally (FINALLY) supports hardware acceleration.
[Nook Color General] jtxmobile:
Engadget has info on the NC2 :-)

Nook Tablet will end up being a dead-ringer for the Nook Color that already exists. What we're looking at is a 7-inch VividView IPS color touchpanel with a 1024 x 600 screen resolution (that's 169 pixels per inch), a 1.2GHz dual-core OMAP4 processor, 1GB of RAM, dimensions of 8.1- x 5- x 0.48-inches, 16GB of inbuilt storage, a microSD expansion slot, roughly eight hours of battery life with WiFi switched off (that sinks to four hours with videos playing back), 802.11b/g/n WiFi and support for a smorgasbord of file formats including ePUB, PDF, XLS, DOC, PPT, TXT, DOCM, Flash, JPG, MP3, MP4 and AAC.
[Nook Color General] pharpe:
Sitting here with my new Nook Color still in the box. Trying to decided if I want to keep it or return and buy the Nook 2. Hopefully I'll be able to decide on Monday.

[Nook Color General] colorado_al:
Here's the side by side comparison from B&N via engadget
[Nook Color General] unsivil_audio:
This is where I think you're wrong, from the sounds of the press release, it sounds like the Nook Tablet will be fulling embracing the tablet OS running behind it. (READ:APP's APP's APP's) I think there is a good possibility we could see the native Android market on the NC2-tablet.
[Nook Color General] colorado_al:
While I think that would help B&N hardware sales, I think it would allow buyers to buy outside of the B&N system. I doubt that Google's android market will be there. I'm sure that B&N are making deals with devs and content providers to have their apps preloaded on the NC2 and placed into the B&N market, but B&N really want people to buy books through them. I don't see them allowing Android Market where the Kindle app can be DL or Google Books, etc.
[Nook Color General] thecdn:
Exactly. They want to sell their content. But they shouldn't be too scared though. Even though I could buy from any of those sources on my rooted NC I buy from B&N if they have what I'm looking for (Amazon still has a bigger library).

I like the Nook app for a reader and I want to support B&N so they keep putting out quality readers/tablets.
[Nook Color General] unsivil_audio:
Thing is, they could just as easily have apps filtered from the market like any manufacturer or cell carrier does. Google will comply by the distributors wishes. Does B&N even have their own "market"? I doubt they have the resources to create one either, but who knows.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
I thought they said they will have their own app store, just like Amazon AppStore.

Anyway, just a personal view, w/o camera, microphone, gps capable, this kind of electronic device should never been called Tablet, it is a PURE e-reader.

LOL :D, I'm pissed.
[Nook Color General] jgaf:
For me it's awesome this way, I don't need camera nor mic (since I don't videochat) and the gps will only work if you get a data plan (3g or 4g) with a cellphone company which means more money, I don't need a GPS already have one from garmin and I don't have to pay for service. The boost in power will make the Nook more accessible to high end games, also better browsing experience (smoothly handling flash pages). So I think it's a pretty damn good deal for those of us that do not use or need camera, mic or gps. $249 for dual core 1.2ghz and 1gb ram, 16gb hardrive, sd card slot (unbrickable), I think you can't beat that, and we all know the success the NC has had in the dev community. I don't know much about overclocking but if we go by what happend with NC (400+mhz) we could probably see the Nook Tablet having and overclock with 1.6ghz :)
