[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] amylyn1970:
Netflix was working fine. Last night I tried to root my Nook Tablet, but for some reason I had problems & couldn't do it so I gave up and did a hard reset. Now when I try to link my Netflix account under the home settings it says my username and password are incorrect. When I go to Netflix under my apps it won't let me sign in either. I went to my Netflix account on my computer & the same thing happened so I reset my password. It still won't let me sign in on my Nook. Then when I go back to my Netflix account on my pc it makes me sign in again and then tells me username & password are wrong again. WTF? Now, what's weird is I am still signed in on my iPad with my old password & can watch movies just fine. Anyone else have this problem & know what to do? Thanks in advance!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zambien:
Same issue here. Maybe something going on at netflix today.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] amylyn1970:
Thanks. I was hoping that's all it was and not my Nook.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] effect2g:
I am having the same issue, I believe it is a problem on Netflix's end
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Same here.

I just picked up my iPod Touch and netflix signed in. Just as I clicked to watch something though, it said "You've been signed out because your login information has changed."

Seems netflix has some problems.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zambien:
Or we have all been hacked because of some bad app or vulnerability in the nt. :-)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
That'd be fun.

I requested an email with my login information- so far no response.

Just googled it: seems it's a massive outage, not NT related. *whew*!

Everything is working fine for me now.

Hi Everyone!!!

I successfully rooted my Pandigital Supernova and installed google apps including google market. I really enjoyed playing around with this tablet up until yesterday. I made a stupid mistake and trying to flash recovery.img from previous fw in the terminal. I tried to reboot tablet after flashed was completed. But it did not boot up !!! it is bricked now. Please HELP!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Nojnaworb:
Bricked Supernova

I know this is late but here is how to unbrick it:

1) Power on and wait until Pandigital shows on the screen the 2nd time.

2) Hold the power button for at least 10 seconds until the device powers down.

3) Repeat this 5 times, this increments a counter that counts failed boot attempts.

4) On the 6th time power it on, leave it on. It will reflash its own firmware at this point and you will see the android character with a box and an arrow as well as a progress bar. Hope this helps anyone
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] PhyrePhox:
This absolutely works! I bricked my SuperNova twice and recovered using this method.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gsparks33:
Rooting Pandigital Supernova - HowTo

I see where you were able to root the Supernova.

I have been unable to do even that. I've tried everything I can find on the net to accomplish this, but I've had no success. I've tried the Gingerbreak.apk, OpenNova-ROOT-Spz0-v.1.0.update, and the market-3.0.26-update - all to no avail.

Would you explain how you were able to root the device, before you bricked it with a FW upgrade. I'd appreciate any suggestions/help.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DelphisDoofer:
Royally messed mine up

In tinkering with a firmware image for a PanDigital SuperNova, I flashed a logo file that was too big and I believe it's overwritten the recovery.img

Power on + volume yields nothing. I get my corrupted logo file flash up and no buttons light.

I tried doing this on/off cycle but it does not re-flash any sort of fallback.

Anyone know if there is a way to hard-reset these tablets and flash something over via USB?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] ChallengerLPF:
Hi,

Could you please tell me what instructions u followed to root Pandigital Supernova?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incisivekeith:
I find it interesting that there is no exit button for the in-built browser in Android (at least in 3.2 on my Samsung Epic). What could be the reasoning behind leaving it out? The browser uses a lot of RAM, and if I want to exit out of it, I have to either keep going back to the starting page of the browsing session, or close it from Task Manager. I am perplexed. Could someone comment on this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
They probably feel strongly enough that Android is capable of handling RAM on its own. Which is why they look so down upon task managers. It's better to just press the home button, let the OS do what it will with free RAM and when you open it again, it'll either snap right back or load up the page you were on again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
This isn't Windows. There aren't exit buttons in apps for a reason. People more qualified than both you and me discourage task killers because they know how Android works.

Android is built to manage ram on its own, so let it do its job. Don't worry about what's using ram, spend that time enjoying your device. I promise that if you need the ram for something else then it'll be there.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrigbone:
In a perfect world I would agree but who knows if someones crappy code (apps aside from internet) has a leak and keeps loading itself and draining the battery. I have read many args against task killers but when I use one my phone lasts longer. Placebo effect maybe but hell it's free and makes me think I'm in control ;-)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incisivekeith:
If you read my post again, you will notice I never mentioned task killers; instead, I was referring to the in-built Task Manager (hence "T" and "M" are capital), which I use to kill the in-built browser.

From experience, the method of shuffling ROM when needed, causes battery drain, and the more RAM that is occupied (with apps not closed completely) the more battery it takes to refresh the RAM. So, it is much better to have more empty RAM, from what I understand.

I use Dolphin HD and my battery is fine, but I just can't seem to make peace with the fact that the browser occupies 70 MB in the RAM and there is no exit button. I hope my question is clear now.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koopakid08:
Unused RAM is wasted RAM so no free RAM is not better.

You can exit dolphin by pressing menu and then exit...

---------------------------------
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] incisivekeith:
Again, my posts are only about the native browser, not any other browser. I mentioned Dolphin merely to convey I don't use the native browser but just wondering about the exit button for the native browser.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smartzac:
It's more easy to newbies like to having such an exit button for every applications installed in my android. Hoping there is some developemnet on this issue later.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gerblekiller:
Hello everyone,

Just a quick question... I was told by a friend that the G2x from tmobile work for Wind's AWS (1700/2100) Network. But from ebay, I see only UTMS 2100.

So I want to ask whether or more there is different versions of G2x, like ones that support wind's frequency and ones that does not. I know this is a really stupid question but I really need this confirmation before I make the purchase.

Thanks alot in advance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jufjufjuf:
The LG Optimus G2X (P999) will work on Wind, there are two versions. The only difference though is that one is TMobile branded, the other is LG branded.

The LG Optimus 2X (P990) Will NOT work with Wind and is only LG branded. Make sure NOT to get this one if you are looking to go on Wind. Even though Wind advertises their phone to be the 2X it is NOT, it is a G2X (P999).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gerblekiller:
Thank you so much! Everything is clear to me now.

I will go ahead and make the purchase.

Again Thanks!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awenthol:
So, I formatted all the partitions on the phone when I was trying to flash ICS. Anyway, long story short, when I try to flash anything that flashes the boot image, I get nowhere (error). I tried to restore various image backups, and none can restore the boot image. Lastly, I've tried to odin, and now no computer will recognize the phone be it USB, fastboot or adb (various USB cables).

Any suggestions? Phone isn't a daily driver, so no big deal if I can't fix it.

Try Heimdall. It uses it's own drivers. Look at post 2 of this thread:

No luck there, either. The computer can't find a "download-mode device," which is telling me the actual micro USB on the phone is effed...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Sounds like it. Still could be the cable or dirt in the micro usb connector.

I know Adam over in the Unbrickable Mod post is looking for bricked phones. He also said he is willing to do it for people just for testing if they arent good with a soldering iron. It is legit and would go to a good cause, along with reviving your epic so you could use it again. I would do it if i was bricked:D

[Milestone 2 General] olmir66:
Need a help in uninstalling apps that I don't need on Moto Milestone 2 (Froyo 2.2)

I mean preinstalled crapware like News, Weather, Social networking etc

The App manager only allows "Force stop", but the "Uninstall" soft buton is not active e.g. it doesn't allow removing an app.

Any ideas? Can I download Titanium backup for this purpose
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
With titanium backup with root you can "freeze" app, which can help you.

Freeze only "hide" or "disable" selected app, but if you really want and need to delete it, you can also tap un-install in titanium and it will actually delete selected app. It should work on preinstalled bloatware apps also.
[Milestone 2 General] olmir66:
Thanks for the info, but what does it mean "Titanium backup with root" ?
[Milestone 2 General] Anonymous_:
It's normal titanium backup available in market, but you are supposed to have root for it :)

So if you have root, then just install titanium and it will be ok, if you don't have root, then DL SuperOneClick http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682 connect your M2 to computer and root it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Niksko:
I just noticed some today. I've got 1 (maybe 2) black dead pixels and stuck red subpixel.

Should I send it back, or just ignore it? I've had it since Friday, so they're clearly not that obvious (or maybe I just got them, who knows).

Anybody else have a similar experience? Any tips for getting rid of them if they're just stuck and not dead?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDRFAN:
Dead pixels for phones are usually instant replace, no questions asked, if under warranty. There should be an app for stuck pixels where it flashes different colours on the screen in order to "unstick" the pixels.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Depends on how bad it is. At this high a resolution on such a small screen it probably isnt very noticeable. But then again once you notice it might be an eyesore and worth taking back.

Sent from my samsung gt i9250 which is in the wrong country.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I personally go crazy over dead pixels. I'd return it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobilehavoc:
Oh wait now that you mention it. Nope its perfect. Replace it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Niksko:
Well, now that I have noticed it it's a bit of a pain, but you're correct in saying (whoever it was) that it's not that much of an issue because it's such a high resolution.

The bright pixels are more annoying than the dead ones, but the question is, would it be possible to get it repaired in Australia, even though I bought the phone from Handtec in England? I really don't want to wait for it to be back and then come over here again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
I'd say it's doubtful they would allow you to replace it in Australia. It's Samsung after all and since importing it you have no warranty in your country. You should have warranty in the UK for it though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Actually, no. In many countries (and this might also be warranty-dependant), dead pixels do not lead to successful warranty replacement. I work in an IT company that also deals with hardware for a lot of clients and this question has been raised in the past and we have been unable to send a monitor with less than three dead pixels back under warranty.

Might be different with a mobile handset, but with a Samsung's SyncMaster monitor it was not replaced under warranty.

The battery connectors look the same but I would suggest verifying the pin outs. I would also be concerned about the physical size.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] spino1970:
It seem to me a lil bit bigger...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
Looks big to me too and the a100 one is shaped weird. I don't even then you can get that shape battery any where else. Was a good idea though. Can you guys tell who manufactures the battery? Text are too small for me to make out.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] littleemp:
I tried for some time to find battery replacements, but only found for the A500, W500, and Transformer as of yet.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
The interesting thing about the battery is each cell is about the size of an HTC Evo 4g/HTC touch pro2 (I've open my a100 before to fix wifi connection) battery in parallel. There should be a way to get a higher mah batteries of similar size and wire them in parallel to make a longer lasting battery. I think this will be my next project.

So in the service manual it says this

Rechargeable Lithium-ion or polymer battery (Sony 454261 Polymer cell / Sanyo

484462 prismatic cell)

So look up Sony 454261 and I end up here

http://www.ecvv.com/product/2465678.html

Battery spec:

Sony 454261 - 1530mAh (Widely used in PDA, GPS and mobile Phone Battery Pack) New Model Specifications (454261)

Product Lithium Polymer Battery

Configuration Flat Prismatic

Model Number 454261

Battery Capacity Min.1530 / Typ.1590mAh Average

Size 45.2mm X 42.3mm x 6.1mm

Weight 25.0 g Impedance < 40 m.ohm

Nominal voltage 3.7V (Max 3.83V)

What I'm wondering is if they produce a similar size battery with higher mah. Or perhaps another manufacturer with similar size battery with higher mah. Size being or close to 45.2mm X 42.3mm x 6.1mm. Since there isn't much room width wise based on this image.

Maybe thicker battery might work.

You could make a custom connector and modify the case to clip in and out at the battery. And have easy/quick connect battery access, which would make for quick replacement. Might try it.

[Windows Phone 7 General] voluptuary:
just says new phone nothing about second gen in terms and conditions so I bet if you never registered an existing wp7 device for some of the other eprize promos that were out you could probably redeem this as well even if you had an older device or if you grabbed a first gen device recently.
[Windows Phone 7 General] macjr82:
IMEI can tell a lot, which they ask for. You are probably correct that it does not have to be a 2nd gen device, but I doubt you could get by with any phone purchased outside of the promotion window.

On a side note, I bought my phone with one number but plan on using it for another, so which phone number would I use for the offer? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] voluptuary:
just went through the whole redemption thing, you can in fact use ANY wp so long as you have proof of purchase in the promo date range, you can also do 5 phones per address
[Windows Phone 7 General] gtg465x:
This promotion is a pain. You have to enter a bunch of information and take pictures of your receipt and box. Then you finally finish and they tell you a card with a code on it will come in the mail if you're approved. They don't say when, so like mail in rebates, it will probably take two months. Wish they would just credit your account directly instead of snail mailing you a code to enter that credits your account lol.
[Windows Phone 7 General] JVH3:
Rebates are great.

Most people don't go through the work to actually cash in, so companies can afford to give more back with a rebate than they could by just discounting or in this case giving.

I've heard through pretty reliable marketing sources that only about 50% of rebates or less actually get filled out. So, the estimated cost to the company is only about $12.50 per device. So, if the rebate was automatic, that is what you would get or less.

By taking 2 months, they also can verify that you didn't just return your phone, since most carriers give you some time to try it

10 minutes of work. Get $25.00 in 2 months. Not too bad of a deal.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
I think I still did better with my first gen Verizon HTC Trophy.

Verizon had a promo giving a free Xbox 360 game, I got Halo Reach (still going for $59.99 in the stores when I got it) and my phone had an issue, so I sent it back and got a new replacement. All they wanted was my ESN for a game. I also got Kinect Sports too(for the 2nd phone) $39.99 in the store at the time.

$25 or $100ish of 360 games...Hmmmm

I think I did all right... (by the way, My phone was an insurance replacement for my HTC TP2, my deductable was only $50)

They pretty much paid me to take the Trophy and No contract of any type.

Gota love it...

Your stock. No custom rom has touched your phone. You may be rooted too which gives you superuser permissions but there is a major difference between rooted and unlocked.

Does that answer your question and any future one too?
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
I have an htc sensation and am extremely unhappy with the software support it has gotten. Not putting any blame on the devs, they have been great to us but the fact of the matter is that we are still on cm7 alphas, not even nightlies, and ics support is looking pretty bad. Kmobs has made some progress, so I'm going to wait a while to see what he has to offer along with whatever else the cm team gives us. And that's ignoring the hardware issues like poor reception and a shoddy screen (Ghosting and scan lines on an lcd made in 2011? seriously? That's ignoring the fact that my a** produces deeper blacks than this thing. I know it's an lcd, but come on! I swear to god I'm never buying an htc phone ever again).

Assuming that doesn't end well, would you guys recommend I "downgrade" to a nexus s? I wouldn't be able to afford a galaxy nexus (whenever the hell that launches on t-mobile, no way I import one) I could sell my sensation and get a used one for a pretty good price. Or should I just tough it out with my sensation and get a galaxy nexus when its second hand price drops?

Basically, what I'm asking is do you gs owners feel compelled to upgrade to the galaxy nexus or are you still content with your devices?
[HTC Sensation] tehgeekguy:
I'm happy with my phone as it is. Yeah, I could get a Galaxy Nexus if I wanted to pay for it outright, but there'll be another one next year, and there's nothing wrong with my NS. I wouldn't mind a Galaxy Nexus, but for me, my phone's doing what I need it to :)
[HTC Sensation] gonintendo:
That's what really bothers me about the sensation, it doesn't do what I need it to do. HTC Sense is a complete mess imo, and cm7 (which is what I'm currently running) is incredibly buggy due to it still being an alpha. (the browser will crash about every tenth page you load) Thanks for the input.
