I forgot that I wasn't supposed to take an OTA update if I had a custom Recovery. Now, I can't get past ClockworkMod Recovery. I can't even go into the different options of CWM. Is there anyway to rescue my phone?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newbieandroid:
Can you get into download mode? Holding 1 and the power button when the phone is turned off. Use Odin and flash EC05 than update. If you can't you'll have to exchange your phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohmyword:
I can get into download mode. However I was trying to avoid using Odin, didn't really want to start all over. Is there an EI22 that I can Odin with?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] travmofosho:
It seems that in your position you will have to use Odin no matter what but this thread should have the right files to odin to EI22. Hope this helps :)

In trying to retrieve my msl number with the Msl reader app and it says it cannot retrieve the number, and asks if my device is a cdma HTC device.

I am rooted with hboot 1.5 and HTC's unlock method.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
I know the developer and hes very friendly. His code is not open source so I'm not 100% positive the method being used than I do remember him telling me the app requires root access to operate properly.

If you want to verify your root access is setup properly, my app, Root Check Basic, for free in the Market will provide the confirmation.

Once you know your root access is properly setup, I'd email the developer real quick and tell him you're using HTC's unlock method on hboot 1.5 and root check verified you have root access. Then describe the error message you're getting and ask him if there is something else you can do or any other troubleshooting information you can provide?

I quickly grabbed the app and it also didn't work on my device which def has root. Odd, not sure if the EVO 3D is unsupported perhaps?

He does give directions to email him with the output log file he creates on the sdcard. Probably worth a shot. Might be something he's already aware of. I hadn't heard bout it not working for the EVO 3D, but appears that might be the case.

Hope that helps! Keep us updated!
[HTC EVO 3D] Rob the plumber:
Thanks Joey, I've appreciated your work since my Samsung Moment. the Msl reader app worked fine on my hboot 1.30 phone, so I know it is evo3d compatible. I'll check my root status with your app. I running the "sick sense"ROM, so I should be properly rooted though.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] Rob the plumber:
I checked with your app. It says I do not have root! While checking it also said my system is running very slow.
[HTC EVO 3D] jdogg836:
Did you flash the ROM with fastboot or just use the recovery? One of the problems with hboot 1.5 plus HTC unlock is that it cannot be flashed correctly from recovery. Perhaps some things aren't pushed in place like they should be.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rob the plumber:
Hmmm. I did flash the ROM from recovery. I wiped cache and dalvik and I now have root access and the Msl reader app is working. Strange.

Thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
Thats weird. MSL reader worked for me with unlocked hboot 1.50.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OpsRJ:
Hi guys, when i try to charge my battery its stop charging with 90% and never goes beyond that. It starts to happen 2 weeks ago.

Any help would be great to fix it.

Thanks,

Did you search this forum?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeartFan40:
Boot into recovery, then go to advanced and reset battery stats, then reboot. Use your phone until the battery dies then fully recharge. If this doesn't fix the issue, you may have a bad battery.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DellXCD35user:
Have you Tried to Recalibrate the Battery?

Sometimes the phone battery monitoring gets out of sync and the remedy is to recalibrate the battery.

You can either try one of the available apps in the Android Market or you can do some manual steps available online(just search for Android Battery Recalibration).

Here is one example, scroll down to Battery Calibration section: http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/guide-battery-life.2551/
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
I tried wiping the battery stats and calibrating as well but what worked for me was:

1. Charge for at least 4 hours to ensure a full charge

2. Unplug, turn off, and then pull the battery

3. While battery is out, plug charger back in and wait for the battery icon with the question mark.

4. Reinsert the battery (results will vary here, mine comes up as 5% for some reason)

5. Unplug the charger and then plug it back in, it should show as 100% now

6. Turn on while plugged in, wait until fully booted and then unplug from charger (it should read as 100% or 99%, depending on how your battery gauge works)

This is just what worked for me, I am running Navalynt's pi-crust (based on AT&T 4.5.91) so please be careful and research if there would be any issues with other ROMs
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] diamond_lover:
Well, this question is for my lucky friends who have their new toys :p

Battery life is so good? :D

Post your test here!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] StaticMatt:
Don't have screens for ya but battery life is more than adequate. My gf and I used it for about 5 hrs last night and it dropped to about 45%

(Games, xda, Netflix, and just tinkering around)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
I'm curious what kind of battery life you folks are seeing, now that you all have had time to get some real world experience with the NT.

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lect1984:
10 hours of continuous usage with 25% brightness.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Lucifus:
Yea, the battery life and responsiveness of the device is definitely top notch.

I'm pissed as hell the bootloader is locked, but this device is an absolute steal for $250 bucks. Especially if you can manage to discount that price down.

Extremely responsive and awesome battery life considering I'm running max brightness and wifi 24/7.

I'm always surprised when I'm done using the Nook that it was still running. Granted, I ran it until it had only had around 20% left. But hey, if your sitting in one spot using your nook for more than ten hours, then you need to find something else to do. ^_^
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
Good book, nice day, under a tree? Done that many times just reading off my PDA.

Thanks for the feedback!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] downsay:
The battery life is definitely adequate.

I can usually go 2 day without charging thus far. I keep brightness at ~20% or so (I can't stand brighter, it actually bothers my eyes).

I also use multi-picture-live-wallpaper and it doesn't seem to drain my battery at all.

I do some pretty heavy use of it as I am reading on it and studying for med school for probably ~6 hours at a time
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zambien:
Battery life is great. BN's numbers seem dead on.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
I'm getting around 10 or so hours of use at 2/3 brightness. Battery life is amazing on this. I charged it last night. Took it off the charger at 10am didn't touch it till 10pm tonight. It was at 99 percent then. I think it turns off wifi when it's sleeping.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] downsay:
Yeah, it definitely turns wifi off on its own when sleeping
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] reeser:
Yeah Ill echo the comments here, battery life is absolutely superb and the responsiveness of the unit for the price is fantastic. Sadly its a case of if only B&N....to fully realize what the tablet would be capable of.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
I have to agree that battery life is amazing on this thing.

I've got wifi turned off full time (to avoid updates from B&N) and the battery just seems to last forever. Granted you always use less battery when you're not going online, but still, it seems to really really last.

Frankly it's making my phone quite jealous.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
Umm, my nt's battery isn't as impressive as i hoped. I use 25% brightness, wifi on, no fancy live wallpaper. I noticed for every few minutes of sjurfing, battery would drop a percentage or so. For usage of about 3hr withoit wifi, i would use up about 40 %.

Anything i could do to tune it up a bit? I do noticed amazon appstore is always running, so is clock, contact, tb, and my yahoo mail app. Any help is appreciated.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
That sounds about what I'm getting and I'm wondering whether it's defective or not (still within return window).

edit: Probably normal - ran into some threads on B&N's boards where other people are averaging 5-7 hours. If I idle / read, I get about 1% every 8-10minutes or so so B&N's time estimates were definitely not "video," "browsing" or "games." Wifi on, installing or rebooting a few times, it drops to 5-6 hours tops between 100% and close to 0%.

My phone gets -way- more time, even reading.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xrishox:
the battery on this is great one of the biggest things going for it. better than my phone for sure.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Drewmungus:
For you guys with bad battery life, you might want to try better battery stats. Then check for partial wakelocks. That's usually the culprit on my phone. It seems weird some of you are getting half the battery life of the rest of us. Personally I haven't even turned wifi off at all, and also haven't turned my brightness below half.

It's in the google market, it won't show up on the nook. I downloaded it on my phone then used the app share my applications then back up to sd. Upload to dropbox. Then download it with dropbox on your nook.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
I looked at this (and other battery programs), but wasn't sure what they did. Now I sort of do. I'll check it out! :) Wifi on definitely uses up at least 20-25%ish extra battery, and I *have* been moving a ton of stuff to/from sd cards and uninstalling and rebooting a lot, but the above did seem very short. Too bad there isn't a battery hardware test :P
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
Failing those applications it may be worth doing a full reset; Especially since most other owners are reporting MUCH better results.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
Before I start nuking things around, I used BetterBatteryStats, check for partial wakelocks, and the highest % is from ActivityManager-Launch, which occupies 0.3% or 5minutes or so since I fully charged it.

Also, i noticed "Wifi Locked" is extremely high, like 89%, whereas wifi On is only 26%. What does that mean?

I'm not fully versed in how Android handles power management. So what should i be looking out for? Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
I'm wondering if Go Taskmanager is eating up CPU cycles when the NT is supposed to sleep. Seems like every time I wake it, there's already a bunch of crap it's already "managing" that weren't there before.

I wasn't seeing the great battery life that everyone is talking about either. I removed Go Taskmanager from the Go desktop last night and so far, the battery draining does look as drastic.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
For me, I noticed almost no drop in battery while the NT is sleeping. I believe most of my drop is the results of wifi on, and doing active browsing. I have uninstalled apps like yahoo mail and textplus, and see if it minimizes CPU cycles from incoming mail and messages. Too bad, there's no option on those apps to control to stop pushing new incoming traffic.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
My battery usage says 44% wifi and 41% phone idle. I thought the wifi is supposed to turn itself off during sleep. Mine is always already on when I wake it. A setting to adjust the wifi setting just force closes.

Edit: looks like wifi was the culprit, at least for me. I got Juice defender plus (the free version doesn't automatically toggle wifi) the issue is gone. Overnight, my battery status didn't move, whereas before it would lose maybe 10% just sitting in my backpack overnight.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Soooo... I actually ended up doing a factory reset* because market wasn't working and my battery life is now what's normally reported here! I wasn't aware that other people reported battery life changes with a reset, so this is interesting. It's seriously 5-6% usage per half hour of wifi browsing, installing and moving apps around (so 2.5-3x better). Since there seems to be registration related software issues affecting battery life, a reset might actually help people with low battery lives.

I also had a dim sticky green pixel in one corner that is all gone. *boggle* I would think that a factory reset would only affect software. Highly recommend this.

I also, before resetting, ran Better Battery Stats and I found the Getjar market app to be up 60% of the time when it should have been idle, so handy app for sure. That got uninstalled fast, although who knows, maybe something was up before the reset with the entire system.

I haven't found any issues with Go Taskmanager. I HIGHLY recommend backing up any important data and doing a factory reset if have any issues with these tablets. I also didn't have any listings for wifi locked at all, ever, so that sounds a bit odd.

*The reset took three full tries of it trying to re-image, and failing, shutting down (and it had me kind of worried, since it would repeatedly fail to reset). Hold down power+N button when machine is off.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
Ok, looks like i'll reset mine as well. How did you invoke a factory reset? Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
I turned off the tablet, and held down power + the N button for about 30 seconds and it came on into recovery. It failed (that is, it shut down to a black screen instead of finishing/continuing), did it a few more times, it started to re-image, failed that, and eventually finished it. I'm not sure why it halted twice in the middle of copying files over, but something was off.

Good luck and let us know!

edit: It *should* reset itself asap :) the above is not normal.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
Zmobie,

Plz chk inbox. Thx!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
Good! I'm glad it worked out for you. I'm sure this is probably the solution for most who are having anomalous issues rooting too. It doesn't take much for a small hiccup to really ruin things. I reset every new device I buy and format every new storage device for this reason... Not a perfect solution, I know. In some cases though it's more than the manufacturers put into QC.

From what I've read, if the basic reset fails 10 times (or is interrupted by you that many times) the tablet then does a FULL factory reset. Doing a 1st level reset leaves a lot of files untouched and may not replace the corrupt file(s) causing your problem.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Yep! Its the full factory reset that was done, because basic kept failing over and over. There are ways to force it into doing so, but mine was hosed if it couldn't finish a basic reset. I never factory reset phones/machines I buy but I might just do that from now on :) And yep, glad it worked, and hope it works for more people!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
I once had a co-worker ask why on Earth I was trying to reset my brand new phone... what if it failed? Well, then I'd know the first day that there was something wrong with it and could exchange it at the store before I had any data to save and before I had to worry about being without a phone for a month due to warranty crap. Then I do the usual let it charge for 12+hrs uninterrupted and then run it until it dies completely, then another long charge (yes, even with Li-ion batteries)... I don't think it's all that odd, I'm sure I'm not the only person with their own set of special rules for breaking in/testing new devices.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
Well, did the factory restore, and put everything back together. I ran it with wifi on, did quite a bit of installing, downloading, and the battery is running at 12%/hr. So it should be on par to get about ~8 hrs wifi. It's a bit improvement, but I guess i'm just anal when it comes down to power management:)

But it did fix a bug on the stock browser... Thanks for all the help.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] aarrgus:
I am wondering if I should go ahead and do a factory reset. I timed out 1 hour of general use and got 14% drain on a battery.... not too bad although a couple ticks higher than I would expect. But I then left it at 100% in sleep mode for 15 hours and when I turned it back on it was at 92%. That's nothing like the 20-40% drains in this topic, but seems like it's still higher than it should be.

I'm timing out one more test, this time with Juice Defender for a while, to see if there will be any difference over time.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rvr350:
Seems like you have about what I have before, and even after i restore, i'm just getting a little bit better performance. As long as you don't lose too much juice while the NT is supposed to be idle, you should be fine.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] aarrgus:
Well ok. I've given it 10 hours in sleep mode and here are the results.

My initial test was 15 hours without using something like Juice Defender. I lost 8% in the 15 hours on the battery while in sleep mode.

Now I have tested it with Juice Defender, which is I believe turning off the WiFi. 5 hours in, I was down 1% on the battery. 10 hours in I was down another 1% (2% over 10 hours).

Seems to me that the Nook really wants to keep turning it's WiFi on, and that is causing some drain on the battery, even in sleep mode. Perhaps it only tries at certain times though, since the last 10 hours have been mostly overnight. I guess we'll just have to see if the battery drain spikes again.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mterrence5:
mine is only stock with some sideloaded apps. No email or anything push on. I used wifi heavy from 5-1am til it was at 52%. Pickets it up at 9am at 47%. Not bad for overnight drain. I bet I could get 11 hours browsing and reading.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cellhead:
I'll drink to that. I "seasoned" the battery in my latest phone (charge all the way up, run it all the way down, charge it all the way up, etc.) and am getting very impressive batt. life. I see no reason not to employ the same strategy on my new NT, which I am totally happy with so far:

- enabled sideloading thanks to instrux from XDA devs.

- installed Amazon market immediately, with impressive results

- installed Kindle app, just because :-)

- deployed that NC hack (NOOK Color App Manager) to add my non-nook market apps to the app list and from there to the home screen. Thanks to someone on XDA devs for supplying that download without requiring Android market. It's diabolically hard to find in the wild.

I managed to install the Android Market, but of course it doesn't work. Bits and pieces of other google stuff does, though, and Amazon's market has all I could ever want for now.

I really, really like the NT so far. Spouse & buddies got their $99 HP touchpads, I missed out on that one, but I'm glad I waited. I play with lots of iOS and Android tablets at work including moto, lenovo, and HTC Flyer (poor me...) and NT so far is my top choice even over the Flyer.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
Power save mode?

I see lots of post in this thread about battery life, but very few if any mention of setting "Power Save" mode in settings.

Are people missing that step, or are you all assuming that it's already been set ???
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
I had that box checked, and wifi was still using up a lot battery while sleep.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] aarrgus:
Not meaning to necro the thread, but just wanted to update.

It's now been 48 hours of the Nook sleeping using Juice Defender, and it's still at 93% charge. Much better than losing 8% over 15 hours because of the WiFi doing it's little wake up routine.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
It's not dead yet. (go ahead... I know someone's dying to) Besides, if you can nail down problems like this now then all the better before 40 new threads show up Christmas day, each for the same problem.

Are you sure it's not checking your email or something? Might be worth seeing if removing any email accounts (or changing the retrieval schedule) makes any measurable difference. That's the last I have to offer though.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] flipper2006:
I wanted the best possible Bat life. I reduced brightness all the way to left and im getting a good 9 or 10 or more. I have only charged this 2 times since I got it. After charging it, it's at 99% for the next 2 days, i barely drops... Those that are having bigger drops, it could be a app doing it. But honestly this is amazing compared the Cyangenmod Nook Color. Never did I have this good battery life.. (maybe it's a new battery and will change over time).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] aarrgus:
I actually don't have e-mail set up on it, so that's not what was waking it up. My best guess is that B&N has it set up to keep polling for updates quite often, and not just software updates. They seem to push down content, like how the samples of National Geographic and other media have appeared on the Nook side of the tablet....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Weo:
I apologize for the casual stats in the post. Just thought I'd mention my experience. Most was from memory, as I've been busier trying to find productivity apps and mods rather than focus on battery drain stats.

Using Battery Monitor Widget from Android Marketplace.

Rooted and using ADW Luancher.

Widgets set to update every 3 hours.

On sleep with WiFi on, I'm getting just under 200mA drain. It is similar with WiFi turned off or on. 500-700mA drain while on and surfing (Wi-Fi on)... not much difference with Wi-Fi off.

I brought up "power controls" widget and disabled "Sync". However, I don't have the log, and "think" the drain went down.. maybe from around 260mA? This was from after I rooted (rooted straight out of the gate). No guarantee that it makes a difference.

Also... I "think" the tablet seems to drain less battery after 60% or so. I could be wrong on this, but its seemed like the first half of battery usage flew by, then after around 60%, it seemed to drain less on average (can't remember if it was both during use and sleep or just in sleep). It could also be the fact that the first half of use time flew by since this device is only a couple days old for me. I will look into battery drain logs later, after I find/add more mods for productivity.

Battery Monitor Widget usually lists Wi-Fi as 30%+ battery usage (60%+ screen), but I do a lot of browsing when its on.

My original requirement for the tablet was for on and off random use with Wi-Fi for around 7 hours... so I haven't put much effort into increasing battery life. I will play around more with battery drain in the future and repost.
