[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanceot:
Hi,

I know the new device is still very new. Although, I'm disappointed with lack of rooting now, I'm still in favor of this over Kindle Fire for a tablet in this price range. Another disappointment is no doubt the internal storage lock, forcing users to sideload only 1GB without additional SD card. Here's a few questions for those of you that have the device and been playing with it.

1) has anyone sideload VTC's stream app? I like to be able to stream video and music to tablet

2) where is this rumor PagePerfect [improved stock] pdf reader? I was at the store briefly on Thur and I can't find this app installed??? is this a vaporware BN hasn't push out? I prefer reading pdf over epub, i can't stand reflowable text that kills design.

3) anyone think we can hope NT can run latest Android v4, if rooted [a big if right now]?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
Wait for NookTab to get root then buy. Nook Color took a while before magic happen. NookTab just came out today. Give it a couple weeks top. There are plenty of smart people here.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] beatlesfan01:
I second this. As is it's a great tablet, but wait a few weeks for root. I think it'll happen before that though. No evidence to back this up. Just opinion.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RTbar:
I returned mine and picked up a tab 7.0 plus. I have another nook tablet in the house so I will check in to see how development is going, but if you can swing it, the Samsung is worth the extra cost IMO
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] captcarl:
I was planing to return my NT too. I just ordered the tab 7 plus but my daughter thinks she will keep the Nook. I suggested that she look at the old tab 7 as it is a full hardware featured and rooted tab for under 300.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CheapGuy:
I am literally sitting at my computer, trying to decide whether to take back my NT and maybe get a Tab 7, or even hold on to my DS7 until a good AND affordable 7" tablet comes out. But the NT is sitting on the table, looking at me, tempting me to open it. :D

Here's what I'm thinking...

1. The Tab 7 is still too expensive at this point. I've seen some online for around $300 but most are still in the $400 range. Yes, I could get it cheaper by getting it from one of the phone carriers but I don't like being locked into a 2 yr. plan, especially the way tech is changing so fast. Since I don't use stuff like cameras and GPS on my current DS7, I'm not sure the $150 difference is worth it.

2. I'm thinking about just staying with my current DS7 but there is no comparison between screens and battery life with the NT, which I found out are major considerations when it comes to tablets. The NT is (somewhat) lacking in apps compared to my full-blown DS7 tablet, but it's all about the important hardware, in my case, screen and battery life.

3. I've been playing with my wife's NT this weekend and once I found I was able to sideload apks from various Android sites, I've got hers pretty much set up the way she likes. One of the biggest problems with the NT is the lack of B&N apps. With Go Launcher and downloading apps from Onlyandroid.com, which has pretty much everything I've previously downloaded from Android Market, it's as useful as the DS7. All this and it's only been out a few days so you can only imagine what the techies are going to be able to do with the NT in a few months.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanceot:
I took the bait and bought a NT earlier. I started to sideload some apps and to my surprise, I'm liking it. The only annoyance is the default interface, and once this is rooted [keeping fingers crossed], the sky is the limit I think.

IMHO, the hardware upgrade from NC makes NT much more usable.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Award Tour:
It's $150 more and at a point where quad core, higher res 7-8" tabs are just around the corner. If I'm going to spend $400, I'd rather wait 2 months for a killer one at the start of a new generation.

If the Nook Tablet gets root and a stable ICS ROM, then it's a warranted, no question impluse buy. With this HW, it'd run ICS perfectly and the lack of physical buttons would work perfectly.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RTbar:
True quad cores are right around the corner, but I bet you it will be at least 6-8 months before a 7" quad-core is even ANNOUNCED, yet alone released. Most people buying the NT want a smaller device anyways, so if they really want a fully functional 7" the galaxy tab is probably the best out there, and will be for a while (at least until the 7.7)

FYI, best buy is allowing returns until January 24th because of the holidays, so you can try a tab 7 plus for two months, and if you like it keep it, or sell it if something better comes out (out the NT gets rooted)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pixelbat:
That's what I plan to do. Wonder why there is no Galaxy Tab 7+ forums yet here.

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:47 PM ----------

And another thing worth noting, because of the extended return policy, consider it a price guarantee too. If the Tab 7+ drops in price in the next 2 months, just go complain and I'm sure BB will give you the difference, or you could just return it and rebuy it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CheapGuy:
I decided to keep iti

I 100% agree. I tried the NC and didn't like it because it was too slow and the speaker was horrible. Like you, the more I'm using it, the more I'm liking it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] animatechnica:
Unfortunately quad cores only has marketing valie at the moment. most apps are still single threaded and taking advantage of multiple cores is not an easy programming task
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mister_ed:
You didn't say what bothered you about the Kindle Fire, or that's what I'd suggest. If you spend more then you're getting into devices that were intended to be tablets in the first place, and the whole set of arguments changes.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Award Tour:
I wouldn't be surprised to see a Tegra 3 7" tablet leaked or announced between now and CES.

BTW, tablets are ineligible for that holiday return policy.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RTbar:
That's not what the sales person told me when I bought my tab
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
This is untrue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
For holiday 2010, BestBuy's Holiday Return Policy didn't cover computers and tablets.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/2008-Gi...ns/pcmcat166500050003.c?id=pcmcat166500050003

For holiday 2011, no exception is mentioned.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Misc/null/pcmcat257800050001.c?id=pcmcat257800050001

The main stipulation is that it has to be a "gift purchase," so probably would be wise to not mention you've been using it for 2 months and got tired of it. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Works GREAT as a desktop dock.

It stays put on my desk. I can poke the screen all I want and it doesn't budge. I can whack the sides or top and the phone doesn't fall out.

It's quick & easy to use one hand to put the phone in and remove it and connect it.

I just need to find a widget that allows me to turn on/off the 3.5mm headphone jack on the phone. And then this will be perfect. It synchs with your computer & charges the phone.

There is also software that turns it into "car mode" but I didn't install that.

Get it here for $20 shipped. Mine arrived in two-days.

VIDEO of my "oops". Or something. O:-)

MVI 3862 - YouTube

Pic of the micro USB and 3.5mm audio output jack. You can also see the knob that tightens or loosens the swivel function.

You can see that the mount is a tiny bit big for the Skyrocket, but it's a bonus since it allows you to easily put the phone in there. But it's not loose enough that it will fall out. I use this in my car also and once the USB is plugged in, the phone is not going anywhere!

Landscape mode + cables.

I gave up on the suction cup and connected the sticky pad it comes with. Been in one spot for a couple hours now and I've banged away at it and the phone hasn't budged. It's a very solid surface when poking the screen with your fingers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KewlRobD:
This may be exactly what I am looking for. I have the SGP Neo Hybrid case on my phone. Not sure if you are familiar with it but it is very low profile. Just wondering how much extra room there is. Do you think it would accommodate a low profile case?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scythe024:
Just Ordered one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
It's not that loose of a fit, fortunately. Or unfortunately in this case.

I have the SGP Ultra Capsule which is slimmer than the Neo Hybrid and it will not fit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KewlRobD:
Thanks for the response. That's unfortunate. I have been looking at the external battery charger with cradle but it doesn't charge your phone while in the cradle. Having a fully charged battery ready to go is great but I want to keep my phone charged during the work day so I can just pick up and go on a moments notice and know I have a fully charged phone.

Oh well, I guess I will jsut wait for some better products to be released.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Maybe the Samsung Note will be given a similar dock and that could work for your phone+case? It's supposed to be a larger phone than the Skyrocket, though I dunno how much larger.

The Ultra Capsule case takes microseconds to remove & put back on. So I'm pretty happy. But naturally would be happier if I could leave it on.

I may look to see if it's possible to mod the dock arms to allow for a case. Someday.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Damn, that's the best deal I've ever seen on this accessory.

These were selling for a minimum of $40 just two months ago.

I already have two. I like it so much for my Skyrocket that I think I'll grab another two. One for my bathroom (i listen to iHeart in the morning) and one for my bedroom. Heck, maybe a third for my garage. hahah.

Only downside is they don't come with the micro USB cable. So keep that in mind. You'll need one.

I would not recommend them for the Infuse though. It was a PITA to pull the Infuse out of these because it was so damn tight. It's like butter for the Skyrocket though.

Edit: Just bought another two. They already sold 40 at this price.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Update: The TPU case fits in this dock (but very snug). However, the dock's micro USB plug is just a tiny bit too short to fully extend into the phone when it's wearing the TPU case. So unless you know how to extend the micro-usb plug by about ~1/8", you won't be able to charge/synch.

The SGP case does not fit at all. Or at least, it fits but pops right back out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
They are both same dock rite. I mean its oem rite?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tempskyrocket:
Audio out working?

Does the dock sound work for anyone? (Everyone?)

I, unfortunately, got a Galaxy SII car dock from Amazon for $30. I didn't realize it wouldn't fit the Skyrocket (it holds down the power button). I would just notch it out, but I can't get the audio out to work.

Googling around a bit I saw that earlier versions required a modded kernel to enable this. I don't think that's necessarily the problem with the Skyrocket though, since apps like "Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector" don't complain about the kernel mod not being there. I've tried on both 2.3.5, and the new 2.3.6, with a slew of programs, including the Samsung Car Home app. Nothing works.

Also, when the dock is plugged in, I hear a sound on the audio jack that sounds like the sound card is being connected when the app redirects the sound, but then no sound comes out. I'm beginning to wonder if there is actually a problem with the phone...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
BeatMOD ROM has an audio-out dock option in system settings.

But I have no idea how to get audio output from the 3.5mm headphone jack when docked. I've tried a couple things but haven't figured it out yet.

It hasn't been a big deal because I use bluetooth audio. But it would still be nice to get that feature working.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Scythe024:
Works for me, although i used one of the stickers to keep the usb port from being able to slide back and forth freely, mostly because it helps lock it into place and too loose without it. im able to shake it around without the phone falling out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Are you saying that you get sound out of the dock's 3.5mm audio jack to external speakers?

If so, did you install any particular apps to get it to do this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silenzzzz:
hmmm does it hold the phone at all? secure enough to use in a car without the usb plugged in? or is it being plugged in a requirement? ...

i have the mount now .. and have an infuse .. but changing to a skyrocket ... i use my car dock a LOT though since i drive about an hour and a half each day ...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] -Kevlar-:
Just got it and it doesn't feel very secure
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silenzzzz:
hmmm ok thanks .. next option then is a slim case on it and see if it becomes more secure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
Yes & no.

I've used the Skyrocket naked in the Infuse dock in my SUV for the last few weeks without a single incident. But ONLY with the USB plugged in. When USB is plugged in, the phone is not going anywhere. I would not feel comfortable leaving the phone in the dock without the USB plugged in though. It needs the USB to hold it in place.

BUT, if you have a TPU case, then it fits snug in the Infuse dock when wearing the case. Very snug, two hands required for insertion + removal. But the USB would not need to be plugged in. Nor is the USB plug long enough to plug into the phone, when the phone is in the TPU case.

SGP Ultra Capsule case will not work. Nor Otterbox Impact. I haven't tried any others.

LG G2x totally bricked. I can not even access the USB drivers to put anything on the phone. All I can get to is Clock Work. I do not have any roms listed though to fix it. I do not have an external card as my roms were internal. What do I do? Is there any hope? Do I need just to get a new phone?

There should be a thread in the Dev section that'll hopefully resolve your problem just do a little bit of searching

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jjhiza:
Can you boot into download mode? If so, you can use multiple methods (heimdal, Odin, sbf) to flash a firmware, and recover your device. As long as I can boot into recovery or download mode, I consider it a soft brick, versus a hard brick (which won't allow your device to boot at all). There's still hope! Check the threads for a way to get your phone into download mode, and you'll be good to go in no time! :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rac99934:
i can bring up clockwork but there is no files on the phone, no roms, no backups, nothing at all
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Your phone is not "totally bricked." In fact, it is not bricked at all. It is just borked a bit (think of it as a cell phone coma, not death). It sounds like you have an old version of CWM installed. Use the One Click flasher to flash CWM 5.0.2.0 and then you can flash from a physical micro SD card (put roms on sd card and then insert into your phone). After flashing CWM 5.0.2.0 format the system, flash the rom and then do a factory reset for good measure. After that your beloved G2X should be back to life.

Also, with older versions of CWM you can mount the internal sd card and then adb push the roms to it. When CWM is running, it is running a very trimmed down, rooted version of Android and ADB is available in CWM recovery. After mounting internal sd and pushing files, make sure you unmount it before attempting to flash a rom from it or reboot the device.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
If what jboxer posted above me don't work first, check out "rom for recovery" thread in Dev section that will fix your phone.

I wasn't able to keep mine stable at 1.6, and at 1.4 it had occasional freezes. It's all based on your phone, everyone's is a little different. I think with the newer roms overclocks are too much and you should stick to simply undervolting, although even the undervolts posted here need some tweaking for each individual's phone, as they caused my phone to freeze.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:

on your SD card there should be a file named tegrak. Inside is a subfolder "Overclock" Put it in there. Now in Tegrak you can choose this profile inside the profile tab.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xolanir:
Okay so dumb question. Is this something I have to do on PC or can I do all of it on the phone itself?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tehgyb:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xolanir:
Thx again for your help and for that tegrak profile. Now I set it to run each time I boot, is the some form of test I can run besides quadrant, that will actually show me that my CPU is running at that setting you created.
