[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tabuser:
I did briefly try the NT at B&N about 2 weeks ago. It seemed okay.

I was comparing a stock Nook Tablet side by side with my Archos 70IT, which has a 1ghz single-core processor(8g mem, 256 meg of RAM, Zeam 3.1.7 launcher, Android 2.21 OS (Archos 2.1.8 firmware).

The NT's display only seemed only just slightly better, with both tablet displays set at max brightness (Archos 70IT has 800 x 480 res.).

The NT's performance with the two-core 1ghz processor and 1 gig RAM did not seem to be dramatically better either. I was expecting better performance.

Has the NT's processor been governed down below 1ghz to improve battery life?

I am in the market for a new 7 or 8 inch Android tablet for about $ 300. I will never buy an Archos product again.

Just for full disclosure I think Archos firmware support and customer support sucks, every firmware update seems to break more features than it fixes.

I'm still not sure about the NT, as it does not exhibit any significant improvement over my Archos 70it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kes00601:
I find the performance to be great. It is much quicker than my Fire and plays video better than my Iconia A500.

The only reason I found to root the NT was for the keyboard so I could get auto-correct.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] outbasket:
This is my first tablet, but I find it to be quick and snappy. I have only side-loaded apps from Amazon and apks from the web. I love the App Manager 1.4 app which allows me to move the apps onto the NT main display. Battery life is terrific. It feels light to hold for reading. The rubberized bevel also helps with grip.

The screen is fantastic and it is possible to read outdoors. I am hoping someone will figure out how to get Skype to recognize the microphone. The lack of a camera, Bluetooth and GPS are a minus. Also I have to say life would be easier with access to the Android Market and Google Apps. I don't want to root it, so I will have to live with that shortcoming.

It is a great value overall.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tomegranate:
Well, what did you try out on it? I can't see that you'd be able to make a very direct comparison, assuming that you were trying out a vanilla unit, you would have only been able to access the Nook's default menu and built-in apps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tabuser:
Compared Angry Birds, NT's web browser, evaluated stock app launch times for Soduku, crossword, etc. Looked at web page renderings, page refreshes, etc
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mohawkx:
Once I enabled "downloads from unknown sources" the stock Nook Tablet came alive for me. I'm very happy with the unrooted stock machine and it's capabilities.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JoeM01:
for $250, it's snappy. Yes, I'm happy with it. I will be more happy once the dev's have a workaround in place for installing CM, whatever the version.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] PlacidCat:
Take my observations with a grain of salt as they are based on limited observations. My dad has the Nook Tablet and my son just got an Iconia A500 for an early Christmas present and I noted the following:

While the A500 has a higher-resolution display, it hardly matters as it is a 10" tablet and the pixel density of the Nook Tablet is at least as good.

The A500 is OK although with the Tegra chipset I was expecting more. The Nook Tablet (OMAP 4430 chipset) just seemed zippier stock. Apples to oranges, though, as the A500 is running Honeycomb and the NT is a fork of Gingerbread.

While the A500's display is not as "awful" as some have described, the color is far more limited (about 200K+ colors vs. a purported 16 million for the NT) and the viewing angle isn't anywhere near as good. Blacks aren't true at many angles with the A500. I preferred the NT's sharper, brighter display.

I haven't had much time with games, productivity apps or media. Video seemed just fine on both - I haven't been able to verify "choppy" video on the A500 but it seems like the Tegra chipset just isn't quite as good at supporting as many encodings as the OMAP chipset is.

For the price, I'm very impressed with the Nook Tablet's offerings. Seems a solid performer for what you pay.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
Given the tone of the people who actually own one at this point, I think a better (and less prejudicial) title for this topic would be "Is anyone unhappy with the performance of stock Nook Tablet". Most seem quite happy with the performance, especially compared to the previous generation Nook Color.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Devi0124:
I did not have the nook color so I can't compare it but I do have the tablet, at least until tomorrow when I send it back. I am very unhappy with mine. I think it feels sluggish all the time. My kid plays jeweled and it slows to a crawl after a few minutes. I have it rooted and I switch between adw and spb launcher. I don't use the stock launcher at all. I hate that I have to use so many workarounds just to do basic"tablet" functions. I don't think it should be marketed as a tablet. Its Just an advanced reader until you root it and then it is still limited. For you guys that are happy

I'm glad it worked out for you but even for 250 I still want it to perform at least close to as good as my phone and the NT leaves a lot to be desired....IMHO.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CheapGuy:
Very happy!

As far as hardware, I'm very satisfied. It seems only a little slower than my Dell Streak 7. I love the crisp screen and my only real complaint is the weak speaker which I fixed somewhat with Volume+ app. The battery life is outstanding. Downloaded video is great.

Unrooted, using sideloaded apps, I was more than satisfied since I am not an app freak, but rooting really gives a lot more flexibility for personalizing.

I am very happy with the NT, so much so that I'm selling my DS7 since it just sits on a shelf.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] flipper2006:
I have a Nook Color (with Phiremod 7) - very snappy

I have a Nook Tab (very good battery, i use it alot, and havent charged battery in 6 days)

I have a Acer A500 and hardly use it. Poor battery life.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Devi0124:
Out of curiosity...what does the NT give you that the Dell streak doesn't? Other than the better battery life and display?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CheapGuy:
That's it - better screen and battery life. But I found out those two things are what's most important for how I use my device. I need/want a good, clear screen and the NT is MUCH better than the DS7. I also found that good battery life is important on the long trips I make and again the DS7 comes up short. I read the reviews on the DS7, which complained about the exact issues but I bought it anyway. I only used the camera once and I never used the GPS.

I initially tried a NC but found it too slow compared to the Dell. The NT is just as responsive as the DS7.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] acruxksa:
The nook tablet is my very first tablet and i absolutely love it. The kids play games on it and i use it for hulu plus, web browsing and reading. I'm not to worried about it's lack of bluetooth a camera or gps because when i'm using the tablet away from home it's tethered to my rooted, unlocked atrix 4g running cm7 which has all those functions. I cancelled my kindle fire pre order within hours of the NT's announcement because the sdcard and 1gb of memory were more important to me than saving $50.

For me the size is perfect and it does everything i need a tablet to do.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dermotti:
The biggest thing for me, is the great screen. Ive looked at dozens of tablets and the nook tablet is one of the best ive seen.

I also like the way it feels in my hand. The all glass tablets are uncomfortable to me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] darkquota:
I think it performs very well. It is my first tablet though and the only other touch screen device I have is a 2nd gen iPod Touch. It has basically replaced that in all areas accept music and podcasts.

Apps load fast.

Reading is great (it's what I use the Tablet for the most actually. The built-in dictionary is great).

I have Dolphin HD and Opera Mobile sideloaded, both of which run well.

Fast scrolling isn't quite as fluid as my iPod Touch handles, but I'd liken it to a small framerate drop in a video game. It was noticeable (to me at least), but it has become natural now.

Really though, the tablet is becoming my most used electronic device (more used than my 360 even after getting Skyrim :P).

Also, the battery life is really great. I usually have around 40-50% left after a day's use. I turn wifi off before putting it to sleep and while reading though and have power save mode on.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dkb218:
For the price, this thing is excellent. Once you root it, its a different beast. The only thing I wish for is copy/paste - how or why that was left out is beyond me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chefdave12118:
I dont care what anyone says. I cant wait to get one then ..... stalk teamwin.

I have an acer 500, xoom, nook color and used to have an ipad and a gtab.... and im more excited about this device then any other ive anticipated. :)

Also, my mother just got the kindle fire and thats pretty nice also. Gonna be a dog fight.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
Because cut/paste is not in Android 2.x.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kes00601:
My Droid 2 Global had Copy / Paste, as does the Kindle Fire. Both running 2.x.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
Cut & paste of arbitrary text???

Of arbitrary text (not just a whole text block), from one app to another? Because my Moto Droid 2.2.3 (just updated w/ official Moto 2.2.3 release last week) doesn't have it. Now, of course some individual applications have it, like "ES File Manager", although that is cut/paste of files (an application-specific feature), not general text cut & paste. The complete feature (w/ dual yellow cursors for precise cutting) is part of 3.x.

Now, certainly cut & paste could have been added to a specific release by the vendor, but I don't think it's in the standard 2.x release. Now maybe it's in 2.3; the Nooks and my Droid are running 2.2. But look for the dual yellow "pointer/cursors" that appear whenever you touch an input field when text is already present. That's part of the 3.x release.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kes00601:
The Fire, yes. Can't speak for the Droid 2, I don't have it anymore.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rhester72:
This has been present in CM7 for _ages_.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nookabee:
So true, rooting makes this device a dream! Next step will be heaven!

I miss that too! But once we get custom roms, it'll be a thing of the past! :p:p
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
When generalize text cut & paste?

And it's been present in Windows for ages too, but the question was, why is it not in B&N's release? I think the answer is, it was not in the code base that B&N got from Google. Unfortunately, B&N did very little inventing outside the readers and market areas.

I'm still curious as to exactly when (in terms of release number) generalized text cut/paste made it into a Google Android release, but that's a side issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] xdahgary:
Should be in 2.3 GB.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tabuser:
I was hoping to hear from many NT owners who were very pleased with the performance of their tab.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
Pleased

I am VERY pleased with the performance of my Nook Tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
I upgraded from a Nook Color. There is a huge difference in smoothness in just about everything -- from browser scrolling to games.

Pretty pleased with my NT's performance.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jerrykur:
I find the performance to be on par with my other tablets, NC and Transformer.

In general I find the browser performance on any Android tablet to be very slow. The webkit browser code needs to be really redone.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
I've been very pleased with the performance (though I'm not entirely stock) aside from the fact that the Aurora browser wants to "upgrade" to the same version every time I open it... That's an issue with the browser, though, not the tablet.

This is my first tablet, however, so the only thing I have to compare it to is my mom's iPad 2.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hurrpancakes:
I am very pleased with the performance. Great reader, great video player, decent web browser. With the side loading, I added the Amazon Kindle app, as well as the Amazon App store. And thanks to Flash player, I can access Amazon Prime streaming content (flawlessly playing in HD), as well as using the Hulu and Netflix apps that come on the device, I've got all my streaming options covered.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] tabuser:
With reports of the new 1.41 firmware cutting off the ability to side load apps, is anyone still happy with their NT purchase?

yep, cannot testify to hulu since i do not have an account but netflix and amazon video player work flawlessly, this is on my rooted nt

i am in the process of moving apps to the sd version of cm7 to check them out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fjhuerta:
I said it before... my stock Nook tablet's benchmarks are pretty close to my OC'd (1.45 GHz) Atrix... I have yet to find something that makes the tablet feel slow. I feel I got more than my money's worth with my Nook! :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] vluhd:
I just got my NT yesterday, and I've already got CM7 installed.

I'm really enjoying it, nothing has caused it to slow down so far. I'm really looking forward to a solid CM9 port!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Milehighmeltdown:
I owned an archos 101 G9 for about a week, actually I owned 2 of them. The first one unrooted running stock bricked itself in 24 hours. The second one was just plain buggy always rebooting and apps just closing for no reason. I would stay away from that bottom feeder brand forever!

The NT on the other hand rocks! It runs smooth as butter. I have mine rooted running 1.4.0 stock. Currently using SPB shell launcher. I have had little to no problems with this tablet at all. It runs most things I want it to run, the support on this site for this tab ROCKS. Miss the camera (not really I have a droid phone for that). I do miss the bluetooth, but hopefully that will be coming in CM7 or 9 soon enough. Anyway hope this helps :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Temetka:
I upgraded from a Nook Color and I love it. Everything from app load times,browser scrolling, games and video is smooth. I had both CM7 and CM9 on my NC overclocked to 1.2ghz. It ran decently but this device is soo much faster. I have the 16GB version. I figured the extra cash was easily worth the additional ram and storage space. I also have a 32GB sd card installed.

My only issue is the rooted keyboard. Call me crazy but I prefer the stock keyboard mainly because I can minimize it.

I could have bought a regular tablet but I don't need gps or a camera. Also the Nook Tablet has the best screen of any 7" tablet I have looked at. Couple that with the long battery life and it was a great purchase.

hello, yesterday i've updated my phone to 7740 and today i've noticed that i can't use some apps like navigon, touchexperience and so on. before update all these apps worked but not now. could you tell me what can i do?
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] RezzZ:
thanks for sharing, I'll wait with my update I think. If you find the solution please let us know!
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] klinutzu:
nobody answer?
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] boz:
If you used the official update route your phone must have been relocked during the update to 7740 hence you have no ability to side load apps. Roll back to the previous 7720 version through Zune and stick with that if the phone was Interop unlocked, if it works.

If your bootloader has changed to version 5******* theres not a lot you can do yet to unlock your device, apart from the Goldcard method. :)
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] RezzZ:
I thought that the newest zune doesn't backup the complete device any more... is this true? is it possible to go back to 7220 without hard resetting your device?
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] klinutzu:
very strange...

in the morning tried to downgrade to 7720, but unsuccessful. after few hours tried again, but it seems that my phone is half-bricked...

anyway, connect the phone to pc, zune started and i see "restore"!... right, i can restore to 7720 and now my apps works!

tried now to update to 7740 offline, but the same situation: can't use apps!... tried to interop-unlock in 7720 with htcinteropunlock.xap, but can't find in connection setup "interop unlock".

please help me, because i really need to update to 7740 because of outlook forward message update and also because i need to use these apps (navigon is one of them).

it is possible to have a 7740 phone with interop-unlock?

thx.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] boz:
You might be lucky and stay unlocked by updating from the restored version of 7720 to 7740 by trying one of these methods:

While running your unlocked 7720 install the attached Advanced Configuration 1.5 .xap swipe the screen and go to 'Tweaks' and make sure the box 'Prevent phone from relocking' is ticked. Now run the 7740 update and see if that keeps it unlocked.

If the above doesn't work go back to the 7720 backup and install U2M7720 V1.2 and follow the instructions below before running the 7740 update.

Select U2B2, complete provxml and tap on done

Finally just tap on Chevron Unlock (will exit U2M7720)

DO NOT RUN Connection Setup now

Update to 7740

NOW run Connection Setup

Let me know if either of these methods work for you, and could you please let me know which bootloader version you have on the 7720 and 7740 ROM versions, I know you have already updated and it could be the same for both now.

The bootloader version is found by powering off then powering back on while holding the volume down button in. To get out of bootloader mode hold the power button down for a few seconds until the phone turns off then power it back on. :)
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] klinutzu:
first method not work.

try now the second. which version of connection setup must be installed?

just tried: it seems that even this method failed. connection setup don't start and the other apps don't work.

i will try again to restore and install connection setup from marketplace.
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] klinutzu:
spl - 5.10.2250.6 (132274) mng

update: still locked...
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] boz:
It'll be the 5.10.2250.6 bootloader that's keeping the phone locked, there is no easy work around for it that I'm aware of, unless you flash back to a manufacturers ROM using the Gold card method then install a custom 7740 ROM using RSPL/HSPL. :)
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] klinutzu:
it's very strange because on saturday morning my phone wasn't half-bricked, but when tried to flash an other rom it appears that is bricked...

and why when restore to 7720 everything working?!?!
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] boz:
That'll be the bootloader version causing those issues. :)

HTC 7 Trophy Crush and Reboot if i use 3G

Hi

I have notices something about my phone before and after update

at first if i switch on my 3G the phone becomes very hot and reboot .

Now if i open any application with 3G or Data or if it becomes hot ..then it reboot ..

Help me!! is it a software problem or hardware problem ....

any great suggestions

Please help ... it was unlocked when i bought it in my trip from France...

Now i can't go back just because of my phone ... Please help me

thank you
[Trophy Windows Phone 7 Development] unknown797:
I had a similar issue a few months ago and I was able to flash back to my phone's original firmware which downgraded the bootloader back to v1.07.

I'm guessing most of the half brick situations are caused by incorrect firmware being loaded when flashing back to an older version.

You may need to identify your CID and operator for your phone.

Instructons and links below:

----I haven't tested this with the verizon version of the handsets as I don't own one of those handsets. You may want to check the forum for any bricking related issues with those handsets & Flashing firmware will reset your phone's settings including contact links, message threads and saved game progress etc...----

Identify your phone's original firmware type (CID and Operator)

Flash with the corresponding firmware

Reinstall HSPL/RSPL from DFT Team

Now you may flash the required firmware such as DFT, custom builds etc...
