As far as I have read on Carrier IQ in other threads my assumption would be that it goes into the phone deeper than just two processes and from what I have read is quite a pain to get rid off especially without Perm Root. Not sure it can be gotten rid of 100% without Perm Root, Unlocked Bootloader and S-Off.

In the letter from at&t to Senator Franken they state that although it is installed on the vivid it isn't activated.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sportsinger75:
What's the point of having it on the phone then? Also, I really don't care about them collecting some random data to make the network better, but my main concern is whether or not its using my data on my 2 gig plan...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jaxboater:
According to AT&T response to Senator Franken ..."AT&T's CIQ profiles are designed so that data uploads from customers handsets do not incur charges'

Of course txts weren't suppose to be saved either...

I wonder how many other bugs will be found.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] sportsinger75:
Yeah, that's strange. Either way, I don't personally care too much about it. I think its all been overblown.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 3f62011:
I respectfully disagree.

There's a keylogger running on our phones.

Any APP can potentially harvest this wealth of data. Would you like to have a keylogger installed on your PC, even for your benefit, but without your knowledge and permission.

Then, once data is transmitted to carriers -- we've to trust carriers, and their network infrastructure to safeguard our data.

Carrier IQ makes our phones, and carriers networks, target for hackers and social engineering attacks, IMHO.

Notice, the data may include the phone numbers you've dialed, SMS and email message texts, passwords entered, etc...

I hope AT&T would follow Sprint and disable Carrier IQ data collection, and direct phone manufacturers provide firmware free of Carrier IQ ASAP.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jaxboater:
Since AT&T Mobile days they have kept track of who you called and for how long.

I kinda liked going to the website and using it as a 'contact' manager.

If you wanted the info sent with your bill you had to pay extra.

That was many many years ago.

(the 'hand set' looked like an over sized monthly planner - HUGH;)

I have stopped using my Vivid for mobile banking (including texts, App & websites).

I'll no longer read sensitive emails also on the Vivid.

Thankfully my Inspire (without CIQ) is still good to go.

(Mail truck just pulled away from my mail box.)

I haven't had any statements for any accounts (Credit cards, banks, credit union)

mailed to me in years, so I don't have to run out & get my mail before someone else (a Federal offense I believe) or worry about wrong delivery.

I'm don't know what CIQ sends and what AT&T reviews.

I do know that the locked bootloader stops us from flashing custom ROMs or CM,

thus we can't remove CIQ and I'm not very happy about it.

just my 10 yen worth

Did anyone tried this new APP called IQIQ?

Take a look at the article:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 3f62011:
Very interesting...

By the way, since Carrier IQ profile can be easily decrypted, the AT&T statement, that the encrypted Carrier IQ profile is safely transmitted to AT&T secure network does not hold water any longer.

[Nook Color General] BrotherZero:
Sometimes when I charge my Nook, it's somewhere on 70%, and then suddenly it's 100%. When I checked the charge in Spare parts, it says it's only 3,9V(which should be around 70%). I thought lipol batteries were fully charged at 4,2 V?

Anybody know what the problem is? I should add that my charger cable seems to be on the fritz as well. The case have cracked and it looks like the fourth unprotected wire(there are 3 rubber insulated wire and then a raw steel wire) has frayed so much that there is no connection there(some of the threads are touching).

And another bug, if you turn on the battery percentage meter in status bar tweaks, the airplane mode icon pops up, even do I'm not in airplane mode. Doesn't go away unless I actually put it on and off airplane mode or turn on off wifi. Is this common?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
It's not a bug, your stuff is broken....
[Nook Color General] BrotherZero:
Would you mind explain how it works?

I thought the charger wouldn't have anything to do with how the gauge in the nook works?

Cause it shows 100 % even when I plug it into my computer with a regular usb cable. Shouldn't the Nook detect the right charge then?

Or are you saying that my Nook is broken?

Oh, and another question. Does anybody know why the Nook charges slower if you turn it off completely? It was like this even when my cable was fine. If I turned it off completely, it took for ages to charge.
[Nook Color General] unsivil_audio:
Did you try resetting your battery stats? S far as know you can't charge this device in offmode.

Sent from XDA Premium app CM7.1
[Nook Color General] BrotherZero:
You mean wipe them in recovery? Yes, I just did that, but not sure if I can notice any effect immediatley. Thought the device had to "learn" the charge for a couple of days.

I'm pretty sure it takes some charge when you charge it when it's off. But it goes slow. Wondered why that was, cause usually it's the other way around, things charges faster when they are off.

And seems like my only option is to charge it with a regular cable from off now.

I'm in Sweden so I can't easily get a replacement cable.

Anybody knows what the broken wire does(it's not completlely broke though, just frayed)?

I am no pro, but I don't believe you'll be able to do it without usb. Maybe you could flash a stock rom(if you can find one) but you will still be rooted.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mai77:
since the kernel sources for the GT-S5360 were published by Samsung. now folks can build their own kernels and flash them. :cool:

building is supposed to work in Win and Linux, but Linux seems to be faster to do.

since even unpacking the win sources get u into trouble,

so rather download it into a mint12-debian system.

following the readme and running make in /kernel/common fails due to missing /opts/...toolchain dir

HOW TO BUILD KERNEL 2.6.35 FOR GT-S5360

1. How to Build

- get Toolchain

Visit codesourcery. com , download and install Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-68 toolchain for ARM EABI.

Extract kernel source and move into the top directory.

$ cd kernel/common/

$ make bcm21553_totoro_05_defconfig

$ make

2. Output files

- Kernel : kernel/common/arch/arm/boot/zImage

3. How to make .tar binary for downloading into target.

- change current directory to kernel/common/arch/arm/boot

- type following command

$ tar cvf GT-S5360_Kernel_Gingerbread.tar zImage

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrotherZero:
My charger cable from Nook have started to crack in one end, and I think one of the wires are loose in the head(there are four wires, three rubberinsulated, and one raw steel wire, which looks frayed and not sure it makes contact anymore).

I'm not sure if I'm getting a full charge now cause my battery gauge have been pretty wonky on my Nook(shows 100% even though the charge is 3,9V).

I'm living in Sweden so I don't think I can get a replacement from BN(and I don't remember my BN account either) so is there somewhere else I can get a cable that gives me a full charge on my Nook?

Is there any other charger I could use to get full power, like Kindle Fire?

Anybody knows if the Nokia N97 charger works? Cause I have one of those somewhere at my parents place.

Or does anybody now the instructions how to mod a cable yourself? Is that possible?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jalaram:
Just curious, why can't you order a new one from B&N and have it shipped to Sweden? I understand if the Nook itself can't be shipped there, but a charger might be okay.

It looks like they accept foreign postal codes. I can't post links, so google "barnes and noble ship to sweden".
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
You can buy the cable alone from B&N for $14.95. They also ship internationally. No other cable or charger will work very well if at all due the the pin configuration.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrotherZero:
DOH

Didn't even think about that you could maybe possibly order from them. I'll try and see if they'll send one for free first. It's ridiculous that so many cables are breaking and clearly a manufacturer issue.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] les02jen17:
Don't even bother buying one from b&n! It's their fault the cables are poorly made anyways. Just call them via Skype if your outside the US or through their Live Chat in their website. I've had mine replaced 5 times! Get this: 5 times! I kept on complaining and asking for a replacement because it ALWAYS breaks, no matter how hard you try to take care of it. Your only problem is, for warranty replacements, they cannot send it outside the US even if you shoulder the shipping fee. In my case, the one who actually bought my NookColor was an online seller and she has an address in the US. That's the address I provide, and once they receive it, they send it in the Philippines which is where I am. I shoulder the shipping fee from there. As long as you have someone in the US who can receive the cable for you, it should be fine. And also, be ready to provide the ff when you talk to b&n:

Your name of course.

Your email. (Which is listed on the account)

S/N of your NookColor. (Found at the back of the box, or on the MyNook page when you log in on the b&n website if you registered your Nook, or at the microSD slot.)

The last 4 digits of the credit card on your b&n account.

Hope this helps!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrotherZero:
Thanks man!

Yeah, I'm also starting to rethink for paying for a cable. It's just ridiculous how they break apart so easily. I've been really gentle to mine and it just fell apart anyway, so it's clearly a manufacturer problem.

I have a friend in NY so I could get it sent to him.

Just a question though about the BN account. I popped in CM7 almost instantly, but don't think I got an BN account. I registered something, but didn't use my credit card. Do you have to give them a credit card to get an BN account?

Or can i register a BN account now, or is my nook already paired with an account(that I dont remember)?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] les02jen17:
I dunno if you can still remember, but when you got the NookColor, when you first booted it up, it has played an introduction video and then later on will ask you to connect to a wifi connection. Once that's done, you will be asked to register the device. If you did that, you already have a b&n account. What you can do, if you're already running CM7 now, is you can go to www.barnes&noble.com on your PC then log in using the email that you used when you registered your Nook. I guess if you haven't added a credit card on that account, they won't ask. :P Good luck! I'm actually waiting for my 5th USB cable replacement to be shipped to my Online Seller friend in LA. Let's keep our fingers crossed that we would both receive it. :D
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrotherZero:
Haha, I just found that account. Yeah, I remember entering some kind of personal info just to get the Nook booted, but didn't remember what it was. Just went through all my junkmail accounts(mails I give away when I don't want to give my real mail away) and found the one with BNs account. Didn't need to add a credit card, so I'll see what they say when I contact them.

Keeping my fingers crossed that we'll both receive it before christmas. =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr Doom:
Hi. I have the volume bug and not sure if this is related but i've noticed that I can hear interference during voice calls very faintly in the background. I'm on Vodafone and have only noticed this at home where I only get 2g coverage. I have WiFi on but dont know if thay makes a difference.

Anyone else hearing anything during calls? It's the classic cellular noises a bit like the built in radiation ringtone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrandPuba2000:
If you use wifi at home for data connection you could try the following thing.

2G gives trouble as you know...

In the phone application type *#*#4636#*#* touch phone information, set it to WCDMA only and see what happens and if it gets better with calls, maybe you lose the complete data connection and you have to put it back on where it was, I disconnects de the radio for a couple of seconds when it reconnects to the provider )

This forces not to use 2G networks, so there is no interference of this source.

Maybe it helps? it's just a thought
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
This will not fix anything especially as he specifically stated that he only gets 2G coverage at home
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
also, as I have already pointed out in another thread, that option does not stay persistent (at least in my experience)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrandPuba2000:
But you don't make phonecalls over 2G are you, if you're on 900Mhz provider this will use gsm signal to make calls isn't it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
you are incorrect - if your phone is in 2G mode (either due to forcing it into 2G mode via the settings option, or by being in a non-3G coverage area) all communications are done over 2G. This includes SMS, cellular calls, and mobile data access.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrandPuba2000:
Ok, did not know this, and wanted to know.

Is this the case everywhere or a standard in mobile communications technology?

So no chance that GSM signal is stil there and works if you don't get 2G data connection?

Did not see my GSM signal drop out when 2G was available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
If you can only receive 2G connection in your coverage area, you will not be able to make calls over 3G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr Doom:
Hey so has anyone else noticed this issue? As I mentioned, it's very very faint - as in you have to be in an otherwise silent room to notice. And it occurs when I have 3G too i've noticed today.

Some more detail:

The noise doesn't start as soon as the phone connects - usually a few seconds afterwards and it actually continues for a couple of seconds after i've hung up (which I've noticed if I put the phone straight back up to my ear).

Would someone else mind doing a test call in a very quiet place and letting me know?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr Doom:
Hi guys sorry to bump this but quite concerned that it's only my phone this is happening to. If someone wouldn't mind just listening carefully during a call (maybe to your voicemail to avoid the weirdness!) in a quiet room to let me know if they can hear interference that would be great.
