I've never experienced any issues downloading any files, let alone zip files, using multiple browsers. I'm currently using a blacked out version of Dolphin mini (ty Starsky's rom) and have yet to have an issue still. I usually use Root Explorer to move the file to the folder of my choice, and I guess roms take a bit longer than most files (size) but never any issues. Good luck!

What ROM are you on?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirLeto:
I think it's the file host some of the rom devs use, or possibly his router. For certain roms, downloading over wifi fails no matter what I do, and I end up using 3G.(unlimited plan, 150mb is nothing)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timdor:
I've had this issue on and off for quite a while and it's getting more and more frustrating.

There are many apps on the market that are, what I consider, pretty common Android apps (Adobe Flash, Shazzam, Go Locker, Out of Milk, etc) but when I go to the market page I don't even have the "download" button. Instead, I see "Not avaiable for your device"

I've searched around and had little luck in figuring this out. The only thing I can think is maybe my build.prop gets ****ed up when I change my LCD density. That's only a guess as it's all I've really done to the phone short of a kernel/rom. I've tried resetting permissions in Rom Manager, clear cache/data and uninstall/reinstal Market, and now I'm in RA Recovery resetting my permissions. I've been stuck on "Fixing permissions..." for about 30 minutes with no sign of stopping but the software buttons still have haptic feedback so I'm not sure if it's frozen or if it takes a while.

I've tried MarketEnabler but that only accounts for a location based spoof and not the actual device type. Has anyone run into this issue before?

Running CM7 most recent nightly, redstar's kernel, and a LCD density set at 200. Other than that, nothing but apps. Please help me with this as I find it very annoying to go to a third party website to download the APK manually. If I do it that way the apps install/run just fine. The market just won't let me install.

Halp! :o
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicuu:
Which version do you have?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timdor:
Of the market? IIRC it was the most recent one.

Right now I'm stuck in recovery on "Fixing Permissions..." and it's been that way for 30+ minutes. Does it normally take this long or should I pull the battery.

I JUST cleared the cache/data and uninstalled the market. I was going to reinstall the most recent GAPPS to see if that fixed it but got hung on this permissions stuff.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rod3:
Never bothered changing it, but what is the standard LCD density setting? Changing the LCD density will definitely cause certain apps not to recognize your device in the market.

Change your LCD density back to default and then try to reinstall, you should be good to go.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timdor:
It was set at 240 by default and I change it to 200 and increase screen space. I'd recommend it, I can't stand how the phone looks at 240

I reverted to my old build.prop and it didn't work. I did a full wipe and the market works. Did a wipe + density change and it still works. About to install the kernel to see if that made it happen but I doubt it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timdor:
I'm not sure what caused it but a wipe/reinstall of everything fixed it. Made a backup so hopefully I don't have to fight this thing again
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zybertooth:
I'm experiencing this too.

Normally, I would switch my LCD Density to 240 and everything would be fine... but now (yes, now that I'd like to install those cheap 10c apps), I can't!

I'll try to do a wipe & reinstall... I'm itching for those apps and my N1 can't install them.. :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zybertooth:
OK, after a wipe & reinstall.. I'm back in business.. :)

Installed the apps right a way.. I'll change the LCD Density later..

Hope I won't experience the same problem again, when the next wave of 10c apps come-in.. :p

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timdor:
Everything was working great and without installing anything other than market app updates, it all of a sudden quote working.

Hi,

After a failed automatic update from Kies I've had endless problems trying to get my S2 back working - mainly around issues with Odin not allowing me to re-flash (hangs at factoryfs.img).

Anyway, after leaving it for a few hours to try and complete the Odin flash my phone battery has died. I now can't get in to download mode as i get the 'Low Battery!! Can't Download!!" error.

Is there anyway to get in to download mode (I want to give Odin another go!) with this low battery message??

Thanks in advance; I couldn't find an answer after searching....

Thanks for the advice; i've done that anyway just in case... but was able to borrow my mate's S2 to charge my battery and have another go with Odin...

It seems like all my problems came from a dodgy USB cable! I was getting unconsistant success when trying to flash (Kernel would work, but not firmware). Tried another cable... and it all worked first time...

Thanks for the help.

Only item is left is downloading the apps.

Keeps saying I am in the wrong country.

Any ideas?

[Kindle Fire General] krelvinaz:
Might have something to do with what you are pointing your VPN to?

I think they may be using credit card billing address. I tried to use a card issued in my country (Thailand) to purchase apps, but it didn't let me. After I switched to a U.S. card, it's been working beautifully. I don't even have to VPN to purchase/download apps (other streaming services still do require VPN though)

Hope this helps...

you actually dont need to use VPN's to get apps in canada

all you need to do is go to goodereader. c0m/apps on your kindle fire app and you can download any app you want ,

basically just side loading in APK's via their app store

its actually a good idea

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cookdav:
I'm very confused, trying to make the leap from a PC (Windows and Linux),

where it is OBVIOUS how to distinquish one user in the household from another,

to my new B/N Nook Tablet.

Ok, so I'm now using my tablet. When I hit 'Home', my desktop shows that my logged-in email is an active app. (and so are a few others).

So, I completely power it down.

When I power it back up, I expected that my email would NOT be active.

But, it IS!

What if it was some OTHER household member who powered up the tablet?

(I do NOT want them, by default, seeing my email screen!)

Is there a solution? (Or should I just return this goofy 'tablet' to Barnes and Noble, and wait til next year to see if next-year's tablet OS works the

way most of us would want it to???)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kusje:
For now, think of this tablet as a personal device such as a mobile phone. Pretty sure ICS works the same way too so it might be a long wait for you.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cookdav:
Ok.

Meanwhile, how do I explicitly shutdown (stop) my running apps

(e.g. my email app)?

Do I 'visit' each one, and find how each app handles stopping it?

Or, better...is there a 'task-mgr' (list) for my apps, so that I could select

them all and abort them? :confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] MonkeysInACan:
You could get "advanced task killer" from the market. Not sure if it needs to be rooted or if you could just side load it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cookdav:
Hmm...I'm still a newbie to all this 'root' vs 'side-load' terminology.

Side-load just means: 'Get it first on a real PC, then plug-in the USB-cable

to the tablet, and 'move it over'?

To 'root' something seems to mean that, in Linux-terminology, I first need to

have 'root' (super-user) privs, right? (I saw a thread about how to 'root'

the device, but am unclear about DETAILS. Does it violate warranties?

(yada, yada) Also, I THINK I'm hearing that, right now, I can only use

the Barnes/Noble 'app store' and NOT to the generic Android 'app store'?

True/false?

Are you saying I might need 'root' to INSTALL the app 'adv task killer', or

to RUN 'adv task killer'? (or both?)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] byronczimmer:
It sounds like you want to have some form of screen locker in place so when you power back up (or unsleep) you have to enter a code or a pattern. This prevents unauthorized access to your personal tablet.

You should be able to activate it from the settings menu.

Concerning multiple logins, the presumption is one user per device. As to 'working how "most of us" would want it to'... Most people do prefer it this way. If someone else wants their own tablet, they should get their own tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
>the presumption is one user per device.

This is a legacy of Android still being a phone OS. Tablet is a more social device, and safe bet is that multiuser acct handling will show up at some point. Hopefully, soon. Else, Win8 will do what Android can't.

Android still has a lot of holes it needs to fill, and I'm not talking about apps.

---------- Post added at 10:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

@OP

You don't need to "close" apps in Android. The OS manages memory as needed per least-recently-used basis. Using apps such as "Task Killer" is inefficient and will shorten battery life. There've been many articles/posts written on this topic. Google to find.

What's recommended is to run something like System Panel (free app in market). Over time, it'll give you a profile of which app is eating up the most battery. Use that to remove apps that are power-hogs.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
At least on my Android cell phone, hitting the Home key leaves the current application running. Hitting the "Back" key ends the application. Not sure if the NT has a "Back" function...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boomn:
The NT does have a back key, but that behavior depends on how the app was designed and it not true for many apps. In fact, because of what e.mote described about Android's design for "backgrounded" apps, Google recommends that apps not be designed to close itself with the back button, menu command, etc except for special circumstances.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cookdav:
Ah, but that's the question/issue: i.e. I WANT to close this particular app (email), for

security reasons!

Are you saying that apps in Android are often NOT programmed with a

mechanism to STOP them?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] byronczimmer:
By design, yes - most apps are not programmed to fully stop themselves - they remain resident in memory in case you return to that app - it reduces load times and allows content viewing sites (news readers, downloading the newest emails, periodic alerting tools, etc) to work in the background so the information is available when you want it without having to do a load at the time you bring up the app.

Any app that's paused (not the current focus) may be asked to relinquish resources by the OS in order to allow another app (with the current focus) the ability to run. This is all handled by the OS, and applications are expected to always be interruptable, thus constantly persisting their state as they are being used. This allows for something else to interrupt (such as a phone call or selection of another app, or an alert from your alarm program) with a reasonable expectation that whatever you were doing wasn't lost.

The security built into Android is the ability to require a passcode or pattern to unlock the phone when coming out of a sleep state. Failing to set that pattern or passcode is a failing of the user, not the OS.

Phones and Tablets, from the android perspective, are an extension of the person. Though I sometimes use my wife's NookColor, or she mine - it is a rare thing and any use beyond that by friends is always supervised.

Other tablet OSs may have the concept of 'logging in', but not Android.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cookdav:
So, I'm screwed? No way to get her email logged in?

Hmm...I HOPE I'm still missing something simple. (Otherwise, I'm

screwed, and I'll have to return this diabolical BEAST to the store.)

This unit is a gift for my wife for Xmas.

To familiarize myself with it, I setup and logged-in to my

Gmail acct.

Of course, NOW I want to:

'Log out' of my gmail, and setup the 'email app' to login to

her email (non-Gmail-based). [And, have THAT one be the

always-open email-acct, (tho I do NOT LIKE this 'feature'

of always-logged-in at all!)]

How do I do that? ('Rooting' this Nook Tablet is NOT an option, so

if that's part of your proposed "solution", forget it.)

TIA...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tomegranate:
There should be an option in the Settings section to add and remove email accounts. I don't have a NT but that's pretty standard as Android devices go.

I have to say you seem to have a lot of misinformed expectations of the Android/Nook experience. Keep remembering that the software was originally developed for mobile phones, so expecting things to be done in the same way to a desktop OS is gonna cause you grief.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cookdav:
Ah...'should' is the operative word. But, I do NOT see any such option.

Hmm...I'd characterize my expectations quite differently. This is the FIRST

(and I hope LAST) implementation of an 'email reader' that was designed

with NO WAY to log out/close down. Common sense SHOULD dictate

that they'd provide a way to log-out or reset to a different email-acct,

but so far, there's NO SIGN that anyone had any common sense.

Hey, maybe the 'crime-stoppers' (aka 'big brothers'/homeland-security) folks

asked for this 'feature'. It will make it easier now...they can just say:

"Great...there's her B/N Nook Tablet! She can't have logged out, so just look

thru her emails, and see who she's been corresponding with."

Right now, my opinion of this beast is worse than the 'Hotel California':

Last thing I remember, I was

Running for the door

I had to find the passage back

To the place I was before

�relax,� said the night man,

We are programmed to receive.

You can checkout any time you like,

But you can never leave!

Hell, on a Nook, I can't even checkout! :eek: :mad:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
But you can lock the tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
The option is there. I don't have my NT in front of me, but there is an option to remove B&N account settings and wipe the device. That's what you want. It will remove everything that you set up.

As far as your opinion that this is the first such email program that doesn't log out...there has never been a smartphone OS email program that logs completely out, or one that allows multiple users. Android was developed for Phones. The expectation is that you will use your phone, not share it with 10 people with each of them having their own settings.

Something that you are referring to is available, but not from an Android, Blackberry or iOS device. You would have to get a Windows (not Win Mobile) tablet, which will not work as well (yet) as any of the other OS's because it was not designed specifically for the hardware it's running on.

Easy way to have what you want on this tablet: Don't set up email using the built in email program. Use the browser and don't have it remember the password.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
@OP

Your expectations aren't unreasonable. It's just that Android-on-tablet is still very much a work in progress, and you along with all of us are beta testers.

Multiuser handling is just one of many issues that have arisen. In the Kindle Fire forum, there are complaints about not being able to disable one-click purchasing for when handing the KF to your kids. iOS has had the same issue, and has a partial workaround. Until Android supports multiuser, there is no good solution.

For e-mail, you can try various email clients to see if any supports discrete logins/logouts (and of course pulling mail from your webmail account).

http://google.com/search?q=email+apps+for+android
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tomegranate:
Jesus guy, it's not an 'email reader', whatever that means, it's a mobile tablet computer, and it handles email accounts the same way as all tablet computers that use a mobile OS (ones based on Android, iOS, and presumably webOS and Blackberry too), because they're designed for personal, individual use. Smartphones don't have a way to log out of your email account in the way you're expecting, and neither does a modern tablet.

If this is the first time you've used this type of device, you need to exercise more patience before you start stamping your feet, otherwise people are gonna be unwilling to help you.

I'm 100% certain there is a way to remove your email account from the device, you just haven't found it yet. This is very likely not the fault of the device! Did you even read the user manual? http://img1.imagesbn.com/pimages/nook/tablet/mediakit/userguide_NOOKTablet_111115.pdf
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] byronczimmer:
Reset the unit to factory standard and put it in the box, it is an option under 'settings' and will return it to the "as-purchased state" with all data wiped.

Then decide if you're returning it or wrapping it to give to your your wife.

In the future, consider letting the person receiving the gift having the pleasure of opening a unit in pristine condition. My wife would kill me if I "pre-opened" an electronic device intended for her "to familiarize myself with it". Let that happen on the day she opens it, after she's decided she needs help. I think it's deplorable that you've cracked the seals and denied her the experience of opening something new.

If you want to 'log out', then you have to shut the device down instead of leaving it in 'sleep mode'. No power means the apps aren't running (unless you or the OS have set them up as background processes). When you turn it back on, you'll realize quickly that there is no 'select profile' or 'choose user' function because it is designed to be one device for one user.

If the user wants security to prevent other people from reading sensitive information, they should set the screen lock code in the settings menu.

-=-=-

At this point, I believe you have all the information you need:

1) Devices are intended to be single user, by design, regardless of your desire to have them be otherwise.

2) Use the built in screen lock capability if you are concerned about sensitive information being viewed.

3) You should reset the device to factory settings via the settings menu to wipe all data you've entered and return it to a nearly 'as new' state.

4) You should not be playing with your wife's new device and instead allow her to experience the setup guide and walk through the configuration of the device in the way she desires.

If there is another specific question about how things work or operate, please ask. If there are further conspiracy theories I'm sure there are better forums for that than this one.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dkb218:
Wow. lotta words - no Solution...

You're going to have to factory reset the device:

Settings>Device Info>Erase and Factory Reset

Once its resets, enter your wife's information. :D

You seem to think that phones and Pads run like Windows where you can log out as yourself and no one can see your email. Phones and pads are single user devices and will not work like Windows. Even Windows phones and pad don't operate like that.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cookdav:
Yes, I HAVE read the manual.

And, yes, I do agree with you that there is gonna be a way, but

'wiping' out all the other setup work I've done, just to reset the 'email reader'

app, is NOT what the average john-q-public person is gonna find

acceptible.

I agree with the other poster, that this thing is still a 'work-in-progress'.

Though it doesn't SAY 'Beta' on it, requiring one to reset the whole device

to factory-defaults certainly speaks volumes to the fact that it OUGHT

to be labeled 'Beta'.

EDIT: I've read elsewhere that this OS on the Nook is a 'fork' of Android.

Well, I'm finally learning that Barnes/Noble may have 'forked-themselves'!

(From what I've read of Amazon's Kindle Fire, it appears that they, too,

have similarly forked the older 2.3 Android.)

I'm now about 90% sure that I'm gonna take this 'gift' back to

Barnes and Noble, and go elsewhere in search of a gift. I've pretty well

deemed it as 'not ready for prime-time'.
