[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
The locked bootloader prevents CM7 or CM9 or any other rom on it. If/when the developers figure out how to get around this, then I'm sure it will have it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Snow_fox:
Hm... interesting.

Thanks.. I hate locked bootloaders x.x....

Sorta defeats the whole "open source" part of the product.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
Yeah, was a real bummer for lots of developers when they found that out.

But its still a good tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Award Tour:
Have you ever seen a consumer Android product advertised as a open source product? Its not a selling point, just a OEM/carrier adoption strategy.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Snow_fox:
Fair enough.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cloudsnightmare:
As others have stated, it is locked down. But so far I am actually loving the thing. Personally I prefer the form factor of this tab over others, and it is in fact suprisingly fast/great battery life for the price of the thing.

Do not regret my purchase one bit.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mohawkx:
So far side loading has taken care of anything i've wanted to do on the Nook Tablet. The locked bootloader hasn't restricted me in any way. I compared the Nook color, the Amazon Fire and the Nook Tablet side by side and chose the Nook Tablet over the other two by a wide margein.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NickBoy98:
although there is no cm9 for it yet... i reckon it still works great with a launcher!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Snow_fox:
You guys may have just sold me on it.

I must admit.. there was a lot of attention to detail put into the ease of holding/weight and as far as 7" tablets go it is pretty serious business.

Just running an AOSP ICS rom I must say I like the OS, task manager ect ect ect.

I must say dev support here at XDA is a major determining factor in any of my mobile/android based purchases though.. I knew when I got my Captivate devs were going to carry it as far as they could or my contract was up.

That was almost a year ago and now that is on ICS I think it has a lot of life left.. so I really am hoping the nook tab gets the same.. Just hard to say since there are so many other tablet options now.. still great bang for buck.. just don't know if it will bring in the same support as the nook color.. making it hard to jump on.

Is there an app to read all the BT connected devices and the signal strengths?

I and having trouble with a BT heart monitor and Noom/Cardiotrainer. I was hoping to determine if the phone has a good connection with the HRM. Otherwise it is the basic problem of plug and pray.

It would be a plus if there was a connection/signal strength data logger as well.

I have rooted stock EI22 with CWM and GPS fix.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Try this:

[Epic 4G General] labumm:
Thanks, I tried that app and a couple others. I could not see any devices, even though the phone said I was connected.

I must be doing somethng stupid. I was sitting in my car w/ the BT pared to the hands free. Apps showed no devices. Tried rebooting phone. turning car on & off. icon on phone showed BT connected. BT apps did not show any devices. :(

Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:

Also try Bluetooth finder and Bluetooth locator from the Market. I think the devices must be on but not paired, from the comments I seen.
[Epic 4G General] labumm:
I installed BT RSSI. I have it working after a fashion.

It is not very robust. I played with this before my last post and could not get it to work. Tried it again after your reply. Using my computer's BT. I had it working, then for no aparent reason it was not able to find the computer. They were not paired. So I cleared RAM in task manager and it seemed to work again.

I was hoping for a robust diagnostic tool, but I think this will work!

Anyway. That is a long winded thank you.

okay, so Im new here, literally just traded my thrill for the atrix about an hour ago. Now, i see that there are people being bricked by trying to unlock their bootloader after the OTA update, it was already updated when i got it. So, my question is... what the hell can i do to unlock the bootloader and NOT brick my phone?? I would really like to unlock it. Also, if i do not unlock my bootloader, can i still install CWM and flash ROMs??

I paid online for a SIM unlock code, and it worked. I took out my AT&T SIM and inserted my buddy's T-Mobile one, got prompted to enter code, entered it, rebooted and after several minutes I got a signal and an SMS from T-Mobile welcoming me to their network. Made one call and it went through. Haven't been able to test it further, but it looks like voice & SMS work. Not sure about data.

The site I used specifically was cellunlocker.net, but there are many. The code cost me 28.99 USD. Hope this helps.

[LG Thrill 4G] RadDudeTommy:
Hello everyone,

It's nice to have a reason to be back in xda.

So recently I traded my iphone 4s for an LG Thrill + $150. So naturally, I made out of the deal. Anyway, upon receiving the phone, I noticed Superuser in the app drawer. Now I have never rooted an android before, so I would very much appreciate if someone could walk me through on how to do it, or link me to a thread that may explain it. The reason I am making my own thread about this is because Id also like a few questions answered if possible.

First of all, I want to unroot because I'm not sure if the previous owner installed any kind of tracking software on the phone, unlikely, but you never know. Also because I figure I will have to do it to update to ICS when it gets released for the Thrill. So I guess one of my questions are how do I tell what kind of stuff is installed on my phone from a rooted perspective. I noticed that for one unroot you need to have cwm installed, and i don't know how to go about to see if it is. I don't see it in the app drawer, so I'm not sure. Like I said, Ive never owned a rooted android before, only my jailbroken iphones.

Another question I had is that when I signed into my android email (I previously owned a motorola Xoom) it released an arsenal of unwanted emails and contacts into my phones contacts, I'm going to imagine there is a setting in the settings to untoggle this, and I will try to hunt it down, but if anyone could give me a heads up on where it is, thatd be ridiculously awesome.

Then another thing id like help with, is since im late in the game with the Thrill, maybe you could post any interesting threads youd think a newbie would like to see. I will spend my own time looking over xda (so please don't come in here and hate on me and tell me to look for it myself) I just figured you kind people that are in here a couple times a week would already know of some great stuff I could look at. It does get time consuming reading through the Troll posts and whatnot.

Anywho, Thanks for your time and I'm looking forward to talking to you all in the coming days!
[LG Thrill 4G] RadDudeTommy:
If anyone could help me, I have never been rooted like stated, and I'm just trying to gushed what I should do. I found out he used super one click method to root. And I see superuser in the apparently drawer, but I don't see clockwork recovery at all (and I don't even know what that is/does, but I know its important.) If anyone could just start a dialogue with me to help me get some of this figured out I'd be very appreciative. I just don't want to ultimately brick my phone.
[LG Thrill 4G] qfour20:
I would check to see if clockwork mod recovery is installed first. If it is, then just install a different rom and you will know that any tracking stuff the previous user may have installed is gone.

To check for clockwork recovery, power your phone down completely. Hold the volume down button and the 3d button down, then press the power button until the phone vibrates and starts booting. If the phone boots normally, you don't have clockwork recovery. If you do have clockwork recovery, then install a custom rom from the development section and you're on your way. I like thriller and doomed froyo.

Enjoy!

[LG Thrill 4G] RadDudeTommy:
Yes! I booted into an android recovery system, so I'm taking that I do have certain :) thanks, now I will have to look into the Roms.

Two side questions though, I will have to unroot before ICS right?

And when I turned off and booted like you said, once I got into the recovery attempt I just rebooted again, my battery was at 70 percent before the initial reboot and somhow now displaying it at 26 percent. Any ideas on that? I'm going to reset again to see if it drags back up. I am confused

EDIT: After turning it off on the battery is still reading in the twenty percent. I know for a fact that it should be up in the sixty seventy range. Does loading into recovery really destroy your battery like that? I had already done a full life cycle on the battery so I can't imagine that the batteries the issue

[LG Thrill 4G] RadDudeTommy:
So I just removed then replaced the battery and now its reading at 35 percent. Is this normal?

[LG Thrill 4G] qfour20:
Hey... haven't been checking this forum for a few days. It sounds like your battery stats are hosed. In cwr there is an option to wipe battery stats. That should do the trick.

You do not need to un-root in order to install a custom rom. The only thing to watch out for is what baseband the rom was developed for. The thrill ships with "froyo", Google's android 2.2 operating system and that's the only OS version that the baseband will function with. It is possible to flash the baseband from another country where "gingerbread" (2.3) has been released. Unfortunately this means that you may lose quite a bit of functionality on your phone. This is because the frequencies used in the country where that baseband was used are different. You are pretty much guaranteed to lose 4g and might get horrible signal on 3g.

Personally I will be waiting for at&t to roll out gingerbread for the thrill before I go down that path. You can still flash froyo based roms like Thriller and Doomed Froyo. Look for them in the "android development" subforum here.

Good luck!

-q
[LG Thrill 4G] Lysdexia:
It may be that the stats are shot, or it may be a glitch that (I think) the Thrill has. I remember reading at one point that simply turning the phone on and off would drain 10-20% of its battery, and mine has seemed to do the few times that I actually watched it... It's really annoying when you just want to restart the phone to apply something and then have to live with a smaller battery life for the rest of the day.
[LG Thrill 4G] RadDudeTommy:
Thanks guys, I appreciate the input, and I will check that out in clockwork recovery.

I was worried about unrooting to install ics when it comes out, but I figure that may be a year or so :rolls eyes: but i think I found the forum for unrooting in the development section.

Also thanks for the warning on the baseband, I'm really glad I haven't gotten around to putting a rom on my thrill because I was looking at a gb one. You just saved my phone!

[LG Thrill 4G] Cab121:
I realise this wont answer your question but it might help you in a general since. I was in your position few months ago. I did play with roms some. I found what worked for me was ordering a higher capacity battery (link found in the accessory section), and the Doomed Froyo rom. Gave me the control I was used to from jailbreak ios and the extra battery life helps. Do a few searches for essential root apps before you play with roms. You need basics like root file explorer and titanium backing and so on. Enjoy your thrill :)

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
If you do the official update your phone will be "locked."

Are you rooted with S = Off?

To find out, first see if you have an app called Superuser.

Then, power off the phone. Hold down the Vol Down button and press power to boot into bootloader.

If it says S = Off and you have the superuser app you are good to go on an easy upgrade.

Let us know.

Ok. I assumed you had root.

When you say "locked" are you referring to SIM locked, meaning your phone will only work with one carrier? Do you mean locked as unrooted?

Or, do you mean locked as in "bricked" meaning broken?

Don't forget to thank those who have helped you!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SprigganMaster:
Ok, you are s-on. By unlocked, you probably mean you can use your phone with any carrier you want (in your first post you said : now i m not in usa).

You can manually install the update. More info here :

[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Hi.

Ok, so check this out. Every time I flash a new ROM, I need to go into the MARKET and install all my apps (i don't use many, so it's not that time-consuming).

One day, I installed this GO LAUNCHER. When I flashed my rom again, in some magical way, all my apps were downloaded and installed (NOT restored, but re-installed fresh).

I do not know how the Go Launcher did this, since this happens before I even to to the market and install it after a fresh rom. Magic!

In any case, this stopped happening for some reason when I did my last flash (Weapon).

My question is - is there an APP that does this?

Again, i do NOT wish to RESTORE my apps. I wish for the MARKET to download all the apps was using (FRESH install them).

Is there a way to do this without GO Launcher?

Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] enoch861:
Whats supposed to happen is that Android is supposed to automatically download and reinstall your apps. The problem is that it doesn't always work. In fact, it has never worked correctly. Its really a hit or miss.

I think the reason is because everytime you do a fresh install of Android, it includes an old version (usually 2 or 3 versions back) of the Android Market. So the first thing it does is upgrade Market and I believe that is where it messes up with the restoring of apps.

ICS has supposedly fixed this issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
THANK YOU!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] LostSoulFly:
Best way I've found is to make a backup of whatever rom you are on with all your apps and do a selective restore for the Data only from cwm, should put everything back including your google account.

I've done it many times between roms and have had no noticeable issues, but I can't guarantee you won't.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
I haven't checked with a fresh rom install but i believe titanium can now push the updated version of software into the rom.

Meaning on your list you would see two listings of gmail.. The old and then the updated. If you pushed them into the rom and did a nandroid i wonder if the newer version of the app stays.
