[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SCWells72:
Totally based on specs, the big differences are more internal memory (16GB vs. 8GB) and more CPU power (dual-core and faster clock speed). Oh, and I think the Nook Tablet does have a mic which is interesting if for no other reason than voice recognition-based input.

The screen size is the same, though I've read several articles saying the new screen is pretty gorgeous. I don't know if it's the same screen (the one on the Nook Color is no slacker!) and this is the first time some people have seen it, or if it's an improved display.

I have a TouchPad running CM7 and I believe it has the same dual-core CPU as the Nook Tablet (if not the same, it's very similar), and I can say that there's a significant difference between the two in terms of fluidity. Things scroll smoother, load faster, render faster, etc. I would assume the Nook Tablet would be similar.

So in the end it depends on what you do with your Nook. If you're primarily reading books on it and playing Angry Birds, you're not going to see much of a difference most likely. I'm pretty sure the browser is going to be MUCH smoother on the Nook Tablet, though, as is the overall experience.

I remember reading that the Nook Color will also be getting the same 1.4 stock firmware update that the Nook Tablet will have, so if you're a rooted stock guy, that's a good thing, and even if you're not it may mean an updated kernel and/or drivers for a smoother experience on the Nook Color similar to what happened when 1.2 was released.

So ultimately it comes down to whether a smoother experience on what will otherwise be similar hardware (physical dimensions and appearance, not internals) and software is worth $250 to you.

I've looked at the Nook Color and Nook Tablet side by side.

In my opinion the overclocked, rooted Nook Color is excellent.

Aside from the increased memory, microphone and faster processor, there isn't enough difference to warrant "side" grading (Not enough difference for me to call it an 'upgrade') to the Nook Tablet.

Bluetooth?

Does anyone know if the Nook Tablet has Bluetooth?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unsivil_audio:
IMO, if money is an issue, buy a refurb nook color. If you have a problem with refurb stuff and would rather have a new one, spend the extra 50 bucks on the nook tablet. Some beefier internals for the money and will be more futureproof.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
Another consideration in my opinion is that ICS will come to the Tablet first. I have no inside info, it just makes sense that the devs will want to update the most advanced device first, unless of course there is no actual coding difference between the two.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sniperet:
The way pricing is dropping on the 10" tablets and with ICS coming I couldn't see paying $250 for a Nook Tablet that is a minor improvement over the rooted NC.

I recently picked up a new Xoom for $320 from BJ's that they were discontinuing, my recommendation is that if you can afford $250 to upgrade to the Nook Tablet throw in another $100 and go for one of the 10" tablets.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenu:
I got my Nook Tablet last night and have been using a rooted/CM7 Nook Color since launch, so to answer your questions:

1. It is *much* faster. Web browsing is light years faster, especially with sites that have a great deal of visual content.

2. Speaker is slightly better.

3. Has a microphone, which will be an answer to my Skype-based prayers.

4. Screen *is* better, but not enough better that I'd switch on that alone.

5. Rubberized bezel makes gripping a bit better.

6. Double the ram of the NC - will be important in later versions of Android.

7. 16gb storage...CAVEAT: you only get access to 1gb in stock rom. (rooting and CM7 or 8 will of course fix this)

8. It is noticeably lighter when the two are held at the same time.

The device appears to use the exact same charger/cable, and I have used them here interchangeably.

At the end of the day, it is the vastly increased speed that wins me over. Everything is faster from scrolling, to video playback (damn good), to web browsing. That said, I am *seriously* missing my CM7.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheWeezel:
Thanks goldenu. Having someone compare side by side is very helpful. I think for me I do some browsing and such but usually I use it to access picture files in Dropbox. I don't think that it will specifically be worth the money for me to up grade. I have rerooted my NC and hopefully will not repeat the mistakes that kept killing it for me. But really the main question is how will the Nook Tablet handle porn? :P

There is always a problem being responsible with your money but loving gadgets. Maybe I will win the lotto and I will just buy them all, maybe hang them all on the walls and create an app to make one giant touchscreen wallboard. Ok enough day dreaming and silly ideas
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaywardPilgrim:
But what if one has neither? The NC has just gone back to $199, but there's some money involved in rooting and upclocking--if a 4gb SD or whatever isn't on hand. Which would you buy if not full geek capable, but not too dumb to follow good rebuild instructions? That $199 is looking good all over again, but I'm $poor.

NC vs NC Tablet

I do not have or tried a NC Tablet. It sounds good....but if you want just a GREAT e-reader w/loads of Apps (Google Mkt), both B&N & Kindle, Flash 10.1, access to internet, great screen, ......No money? Buy a referb NC for $100+, then buy a N2A card for $35 and have fun. I bought a NC new for $147 (1 year ago, during one of theirB&B specials, + got 5% off by using a cash back CC, then got a N2A card and i'm in hog heaven.. Even bought my wife a refurb and N2A....same thing. GREAT "E-Reader" w/lots of goodies.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pito67:
It does, but it is not activated on the nook interface.

I think it will be activated once we get a custom ROM for the NT.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blue6IX:
My question is:

Does it still boot first from the MicroSD card?

I have no desire to root or run from internal memory any android OS, I absolutely love the un-brickable nature of the Nook Color.

I know off the bat an sd-install isn't happening, but if it boots from sd first there's nothing stopping it from eventually happening.

The un-brickable nature of the sd boot first option is the biggest draw for me, from a developer standpoint it makes a fantastic playground where you can explore whatever you want without consequence.

Having a device with better hardware specs will make development of ICS and forward software much nicer.

?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomn:
Yes, but so far it appears that the bootloader is locked down and will only accept signed images. :(

It it still very early in the game and only a couple people have poked at the bootloader so far so there is still hope that something can be achieved, but it's definitely a different set of problems than the Color ever had. No one has been able to root it yet either so that doesn't help either. I don't doubt that there are a number of very intelligent and determined people who are interested in the challenge though
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blue6IX:
Thanks for the quick reply.

That was all I needed to know to put this on my shopping list. Not sure when i'll pick one up, but it's definitely in my sights now.

Sooner or later we'll crack it open, as long as boot first from SD was worked into the model the rest is just a matter of time.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MISRy:
Roxors of NC's from B&N are $149 now, plus the $35 for the card you have to order is $184 plus shipping.

You can get a fully rooted NC off Craigs List for $170 all day long. I talked a guy down to $100 because he tried to dump a 3rd party power brick on me. Picked up a B&N brick, (and spare cable), for $27. Put the lame 2G PNY he had in it in my Fuze, put the Fuzes 8 in my phone, put my phones Sandisk 16 class 4 in the NC, made sure 8+1 works and haven't looked back. VV0o7!

Rooted Nook vs. Nook Tablet

Hey Guys,

I just bought a new NT Saturday, it's still in the box. I've been reading a few post and I'm not sure but everyone seems to be having more fun with the NC. I went to get the NC originally but I'm a sucker for latest and greatest. I'm still not sure if it was the best choice. And oh yeah, I get one shot at this, the wife says " Make a choice and stick with it." Do you think the NT will receive the same attention as it's older brother. I'm the kind of user that likes my gadgets to do all that they can. Thanks in advance for any replies.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unsivil_audio:
Although a victim of locked bootloader (read:no custom roms...at least for now), it does have root, and you can still do pretty much anything you want with it. As far as "fun" goes, depends on how much you like to mod your device? I do quite a bit, so yeah, some of the fun is taken out of it. However, as far as useability, its pretty much limitless with root and will still offer a great user experience.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Macg67:
Thanks for the reply. I guess I can go get it out of the trunk, I left it in the trunk of my car until I knew I would keep it.

Warning: This is a rant. Work-safe, but skip this post if you prefer not to read one.

Re previous post: Why on earth would someone pay $35 to buy a pre-made CM7 (*2*, won't name it) card when you can make it for yourself for free with larger capacity? Also, you're just paying someone to rip off a free product that our unpaid devs have made. Don't give me the guff about how they're providing a service, blah blah blah. Until they start giving credit and kickbacks to the devs here, they're dirty rotten scoundrels.

Please take the 10 minutes to learn how to do it yourself. If you're not computer savvy enough there has to be someone you know who is, in this day and age. It really is not rocket science.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyrubin1:
its receiving a lot of attention, but there's eomthig you can do and you cant do, and despite whatever optimism or pessimism some people have, nobody can tell for sure that the device is going to get a full custom rom or not

its like children, attention doesn't necessarily correlate with performance.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaCat:
They aren't providing a service, they're providing customer service.

I'm on a Nook forum where a lot of the Nook owners are very non-tech savvy, sometimes nudging into techphobic territory. The company you mentioned gives incredibly patient, detailed support to these users whenever they have a problem. They also ship out replacement cards, sometimes overnight, when a user completely wrecks the one they have.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not warm and fuzzy that they're taking a free ROM and selling it. They even had to be prompted to give credit where it's due. And I certainly wouldn't use their service myself. But if I squint and tilt my head just right, it looks a bit like the users are paying for the SD card and the hand-holding level of support they're getting, rather than CM7.

They've figured out how to pick the lock. It's not quite as good as the NC which is unlocked but it will prolly get to a similar place eventually.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyrubin1:
it's been rooted, but the bootloader remains locked.

i don't want to get into argument whether it's going to be cracked, or have a custom rom or not, some people are overly optimistic and some people are overly pessimic, i say time will tell.

bluetooth

I've looked and looked, but I haven't found any recent news on it, I know Indirect was able to fantastically root the nook tablet (thanks:D) but it seems that bluetooth is still unavailable. From what I understand, the nook color has bluetooth, and the nook tablet and nook color have the same wireless card (nc has b, nc = nt, nt has b) Would trying to follow the nook color hack work?

(i'm tech savy, but programming isn't my strong suit)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomn:
if the hardware does have but support, it will still require a new kernel in order to work and that wont be possible until the boot loader is unlocked or bypassed

I had a Nook Color till few days ago. My boss wanted to give one as a gift for a worker and I convince him to buy a Nook Tablet for me and I would give him instead my Nook Color Rooted and OCed to give as a gift. :)

I like it, fast, big memory. With all my stuff running I still have 585 m left. Couple of issues with some apks, but nothing serious. Feels like Nook Color has better battery life.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sporttster:
Bought my wife and daughter NC's for Christmas. Love em! They're fantastic little tablets when rooted and running CM7. But for myself, I'm a tech geek. Looking at the NCT for myself or possibly the Galaxy Tab 7. Pricewise the NCT wins hands down but feature set the GT7 is far and away the winner. Now if the NCT had CM7 available,that would even the playing field some. Just can't see paying twice the amount for the GT7. Understand a new 7" Asus model is coming sometime,date unknown,that is dual core and pretty nice. Saw it noted on Droid Life. What to do....development on the NCT isn't very far along without CM7 and the new Asus tab I don't know enough about.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrykur:
I just took my Nook Tablet back after a month of trying to find the difference. My conclusions where the screen was tiny bit better and the NT was a bit more response than my CM7 1.2 GHz NC. But, these are not enough of a difference and the Nook Color had custom ROMs.

Also, the announcement of $250 quad core 7 inch tablets makes the Nook Tablet appear to be an older generation.

By summer we should have some interesting options as quad core processors running ICS become the norm, and Windows 8 tablets start to appear.

My problem: LED Flashlight won't turn on.

I've tried: - Almost every app on Android Market

- Googling my problem

- Searching for a solution on XDA-Developers forum

- Taking a picture in the dark (LED works)

- Filming in the dark (LED doesn't work)

- Trying same things with my HTC DesireZ (LED works)

- Checked every setting

Is this a common problem with SGSII?

Not sure if this is the right place to post this if not sorry..

Just received my Nokia bh-505 and tried to connect it via nfc but all i get is a unknown tag type and does nothing was wondering if anyone has been able to connect it using nfc and how they did it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lookitzjohnny:
its a bluetooth headset you connect it through bluetooth not NFC
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] foreverloco:

Did you received a tracking number if so just check to see where it is. So far im happy with it sounds good music plays good thru it and for the price we paid can't really complain lol.. Just trying to figure the nfc out saw a video on YouTube where it connected with a Nokia 701 phone with no problems using nfc and if it wasn't nfc enabled it wouldnt turn on and phone wouldn't get an unknown tag from it just by touching the bottom back of the phone with the back part of the headset
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] z00medu:
i dont remember what day i posted that order, NOR can i find the email they sent me telling me to call cs! i did call them, and the confirmed, however i never got a confirmation
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] foreverloco:
You could always call them back and ask them for the tracking number on your order then go to the order status page on tmobile to check

thanks dude, without you i would have NOTHING!!! i called them, and they confirmed an error with my status #, so i called cs, they changed my delivery to RUSH shipping/overnight and i added a extra headset, and they waived my delivery, so i was only charged .02 cents :D

np glad you were able to get it straighten out now im kinda wishing something had gone wrong with my order so i couldve added 1 more for my girl and not need to worry about her taking mine which i know is gonna happen in the end unless i wear it enough so it dont fit her head :p ..lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] z00medu:
ok , so i recieved my headsets today, and i opened one of em up to give it a try, i enabled the nfc thing, but i didnt seem to instantly pair like the instructions specified...... however they did pair via bluetooth, and seem okay, although i did have to change the original earbud ends with a larger set; but the quality is pretty clear, and seem comfortable, ill be able to test them fully when i take them to work tomm!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] foreverloco:
It took me a couple of light taps to get it to tag with nfc have to touch the bottom part of the phone right above the curve where the speaker is but all it does is give an unknown tag type and doesnt do anything just wanna know if there would be a difference in sound quality if paired with nfc rather than Bluetooth but maybe its just not compatible...

i ordered 4 and i got them -D like in 2 days super fast shippin i was surprised!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kindrich:
So has anyone figured out how to pair this headset using NFC?

As I understand, if your phone has NFC (such as GSII or Nexus S), you only need to tap your phone on the middle part of the headset and they will pair up automatically - no need to even turn on bluetooth or go into bluetooth settings.

Granted, they are still connected via bluetooth, but NFC will initiate that connection without prompting the user to do anything else.

I tried tapping my Nexus S (on ICS 4.0.3) and collected a "Unknown tag." So apparently the NFC chips see each other, but the phone doesn't know what to do with that NFC tag.

Any clue on how to get the phone to recognize the tag?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ma13ro:
It appears that the stock NFC data works only with Nokia phones. The chip is not locked however so you can use an application like

NFC Task Launcher

(find it in the market) to rewrite the NFC data.

I only set the chip to turn on bluetooth and set media volume to a comfortable level. After the headset has been manually paired the first time all you need to do is tap headset and phone together as normal and the headset turns on, bluetooth on, and they pair as they should.
