Sweet. I don't know if I'm brave enough to do this. I guess you also need a Palm Charger from there on out which is a trade off.

Touchstone mods have been done successfully on a pile of phones, and it's a simple mod. With the thickness of the GN's battery door, I would guess this will be pretty easy. Used the touchstone on my Evo and G2x and it was great. I'd be willing to, but after spending $700+ it's gonna take me at least a month or two to work up the gall to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thereddog:
I have 4 touchstones at home and work, and inductive charging is something you just can't live without when you've had it before

Won't it void the warranty though lol...

Couldn't it damage the NFC chip as it's on the battery? I have no idea what I'm talking about it's just a thought I had when I saw this.

Combine this with Tasker to activate the clock app when charging and it's basically like Exhibition Mode in webOS :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Infestor:
If you are using a case like the Otterbox, it should be possible to build a Touchstone mod without opening the phone. I'm thinking about putting the loop between the Nexus and the case and somehow attaching the wires to the docking pins on the right side. Should be straightforward.

So as the title says, my droid x just corrupted my second sd card in two months. Anybody else experience this, and is there a way to salvage my sd card?
[Droid X General] ajw85:
I can't help but I can sympathize. Just lost my 16GB card. Subscribed for future.
[Droid X General] dcorrea:
I didn't figure out how to salvage the sdcard, but I called Verizon and they are replacing my phone, although the tech support rep said that they had no record of any similar incidents happening with the DX. I'll have the replacement tomorrow.
[Droid X General] dcorrea:
Interesting Update

So I got my replacement Droid X from Verizon, and I rooted it and reloaded all my app backups. Everything was fine for about a day, and then my phone started to give me sd card errors and it starting acting very sluggish. So I just wiped my phone completely and started over. After a fresh wipe (still rooted) I started to manually download my apps, and then the same thing happened. The phone started to act sluggish and then I got the sdcard damaged notification. Luckily this time I was actually able to just reformat the card and that fixed it, but I don't know whats going on.

So I just got down removing root and doing a full system format. I am in the process of redownloading my apps, but I don't know if something with root may have been causing it. I will update in a few days when I know more (not having root sucks... I've had a rooted phone since the G1).
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
I've had SD card issues en masse with my Droid X. Motorola has pissed me off with this phone, along with their "turning on your screen and getting a black screen, forcing a battery pull" issue that ALL their freaking Gingerbread devices seem to have...........
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G8D:
Basically I need to know if the proxy settings in ICS support the use of "proxy scripts" or something of similar description.

I intend to get the Transformer Prime for use at university but really it's only useful to me if I can get the entire OS working online and not just the few apps that support proxy scripts (only found Opera to allow it so far) so I just want to know if that option is in the base OS this time around.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
There is something called 'Install web scripts' under Accessibility, but I am not sure what it does. It asks 'Do you want apps to install scripts from Google that make their web content more accessible?'.

But I don't know what it does or why it is there.

Nah definitely won't be that. That's for people with sensual disabilities.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Hehe..................
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G8D:
Anyone able to help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chirality:
Doesn't the config script mean it's an HTTP socket proxy? If so it can only work at the HTTP layer, which means you are pretty much limited to using browsers. An Android-wide setting would have to work at the TCP(UDP)/IP layer, which isn't concerned with this proxy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G8D:
I've just tried something. I don't need the script.

I can deselect the script and just enter a "Proxy Server" (makes more sense if you were looking at LAN settings in Windows) which just appears to be an IP/port.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Skimp Killah:
Does it seem like they will eventually figure out how to get custom roms and kernels, or is it still up in the air as to if its even possible. And I've read of the possibility of b&n doing an OTA update that would close the door on the current rooting method and side loading of apps, is there any reason to believe they would? Or is that just paranoid speculation.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jerrykur:
OTA updates to the BC broke rooting so I assume a OTA to the NT would do the same. Usually rooting was restored in a few days. Custom kernels are a different issue and currently is unknown.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Skimp Killah:
Kindle has CM7 booting on it. may have to go for the kindle over the nook tablet. Custom roms and kernels are a big selling factor and the kindle seems much closer to that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] quid246:
posted in wrong thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dkb218:
Yeah, you should got the Kindle route. If CM7 is your main concern, then yes, Kindle is for you.

The NT has been out 2 weeks and its already being written off.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CRE:
True... Sadly, I doubt the higher ups of B&N really care about that small 1% for whom this is a concern. I'm still on the fence myself, but for me it's a NT or just save my money and wait; The lack of uSD kills the KF for me and I don't need/want a tablet enough to justify anything with a higher pricetag.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
I think its a little early to say its being written off. The awesome developers on this forum are still working on it, and probably others too. Even if the fully rooted device is as far as it goes, it is still a great device for the money.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] andTab:
Sad but true. Stupid of B&N to lock the bootloader ... hopefully, bad sales will validate the point!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RussianMenace:
Not likely. Stopped by B&N on the way from class today and saw 3-4 people walk out with the NT during the time(30 min?) I was hanging around talking to the "tech". They're still selling quite well, but time will tell if they can keep it up.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rkl:
B&N couldn't care less about losing sales to those who aren't buying their low cost eReader to use as intended. There is little to no margin for selling it as a general purpose tablet so they really don't care that those who can't load a custom ROM aren't happy with their device. Lot's of more expensive tablets out there for those who want to do custom development and a Nook app for those who want to buy their online products.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
I wonder if the Kindle Fire is actually helping NT sales. The KF sell people on the idea of getting a 7" tablet, but they shop around and finds that the NT has better specs for a little more. They read reviews like Engadget that say the NT plays videos smoother. The NT is suddenly on their radar.

The average person wouldn't care a bit about the bootloader, though they might be disappointed to find out about the 1GB limit for own content.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GTOJim:
If I understand correctly if the Nook is rooted apps install in the 15gb partition so rooted nooks have access to more than 1gb. Of course your average user isn't going to root their device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Sideloaded apps also. You wanna move files to the B&N partition, you use root file manager to move.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dermotti:
I wouldnt mind buying apps if b&n actually had any in thier market. They dont have crap.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Skimp Killah:
Atleast for me the NT led to a kindle sale. Custom roms and kernels are a big deal to me, and I'm guessing the kindle is a week or two away from CM7 and most likely CM9 as well. And maybe the devs figure out a way around NTs locked boot loader, but there also seems to be a good chance they don't. It was a simple decision.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mohawkx:
I keep reading on various forums that the locked bootloader is a Nook Tab killer. Why?????? Please educate an old man as to why this is such a big deal. Within 3 days and less than an hour of tapping, I was able to sideload Amazon App store the Whole Kindle store, Google and a whole host of other sites that have content and applications for free or for sale. Already there are people who have rooted the tablet. Please tell an ignorant old man WHY it is so important to unlock the bootloader. What would you do/have once you unlocked the bootloader that you can't do without? Is it just because the locked bootloader feels like a slap in the face to developers? I mean what more would you do to it that you can't already do with it locked down?

My Tab does everything and more than I'd ever do with a real tablet so I'm just very curious as to what all the fuss is about.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ikaden:
Custom ROMS and kernels allow you to really extend the life of your device (meaning the device won't seem outdated so quickly). The CPU can be overclocked, the voltage tweaked for better battery life, newer versions of the android OS can be uploaded, etc.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
Back to the future

Question: What happens when B&N releases an automatic update (replacing your system and your downloaded apps) and it closes the hole that you used to install additional apps?

Answer: We don't know. Having a way around the bootloader (eg, booting SDcards) gives some assurance that we will be able to root future versions, allowing continued "unauthorized" apps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Award Tour:
Here's why:

- A regular build of Android is better than the dumbed down version used in the nook tablet line.

- Ice Cream Sandwich is 10x better than Gingerbread.

- A tablet version of Android is better than smartphone version used in the nook.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mohawkx:
Thanks everyone for the quick education. I understand much better now. It does appear that with a locked bootloader the customer is at the mercy of the vendor. They control the software, they control the hardware you just bought and paid for. I get it now. Sounds like I just rented a Barnes & Noble portal to their content. They can close the back door to any other apps anytime they choose. Almost doesn't seem fair.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mama Luigi:
I'm not sure you will have to worry about B&N remotely disabling everything. Look at the Kindle Fire forums, they just released an update yesterday or today that automatically applied itself and broke root access. Wasn't difficult to get root access back.

What I've heard is that the reason the Nook Tablet has a locked bootloader is because of some deal they made with Netflix to get high-resolution streaming. Without locking it down, Netflix would have only allowed lower quality streaming, which is part of why Netflix looks better on the NT than on the KF.

I'm not defending B&N and I wish the NT was more open, but if they haven't stopped people from hacking their tablets yet, I don't know why they'd start. For many, getting access to the market, alternative launchers, and sideloading apps is enough. I'd love to have custom ROMs but I'm not sure it's worth giving up the NT's superior hardware to get them. The KF has half the RAM, a less responsive touchscreen, is less durable, and has no storage expansion.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xrishox:
who cares about 1080p streaming on a 7 inch screen.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spawn174:
Marketing does.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Award Tour:
ICS has the APIs (DRM? Security) that will bring HD Netflix streaming to any device that has it. Only a matter of time before official updates and unofficial ports makes this decision a dumb one but I doubt that Netflix is the sole reason.

attach phone to pc in normal mode

click on start in support zone

Let it check your phone

click on repair

follow the instructions

If it doesnt work on pccomapnaion download seus and try that.

If it still doesnt work, uninstall pccompanion and seus, reboot pc, redownload and install them and try again.

also, you can goto to the driver folder in the flashtool folder and run ggsetup to install drivers on the pc

let me know how that works, because if that doesnt then you have a hardware fault on your phone, not a software problem

As for the article, CPS was right to take the kid. I mean 200 punds at 8 years old. I'm 20 and never reached 200 lbs, most I think was like 188. And genetics my ass. Also many of them say its a disease. What's the name, hunger?
[Off-topic] Tomdg07:
The artcile says "The mother agreed to enroll the child in a special Rainbow Babies & Childrens Hospital program called Healthy Kids, Healthy Weight", and also "She tried to follow the recommendations of the doctors, such as getting him a bike and encouraging him to get exercise." No where did the article indicate that she was not cooperating with CPS or coordinating with dr's to help the kid lose the weight.

While I do not see CPS removing a child from a home in these situations as a protecting act it is a very grey matter. If the mom had agreed to such programs its hard to say this instance was justified unless theres is some proof she is neglecting the childs health behind closed doors, which isnt clear here as shes been taking him to see doctors on the matter. But than you also have to remember that you dont get to 200 lbs at 8yrs old by siblings sneaking you snacks...
