[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Singingdrum:
I side loaded a number of apps onto my Nook Tablet, including the Amazon Video and mp3 Cloud apps which worked superbly. But a weird thing happened: The tablet turned off while playing a radio station app, Xiia live. It felt fairly warm on the bottom right corner and stayed that way for a few hours. Then I recharged it and it started up in the morning. This happened again with the app Tunein Radio Pro today, but it wasn't warm to the touch. The battery is charged but won't start again. Any ideas what's going on?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mikenike192:
I've had a similar issue, eventually it just started up. I have no idea why this happened. Scared me the first time it happened because I thought I had bricked it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Singingdrum:
I'm thinking the radio streaming apps I used maybe overheated the cpu and eventually it cooled enough to restart. But that's only a layman's guess.....
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lemoon:
Yes, I think the problem is bcz the Radio streaming apps are overheated, you could try to uninstall some.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cookdav:
Hmmm...I'm quite new to tablets, and got a Nook Tablet about a week ago.

The only thing I've side-loaded so far, are two movie files (MP4 files).

So, please explain to me, about side-loading apps: To do that, does that

require you to first 'root' your tablet? (I'm assuming/hoping the answer is 'no'.)

Is there a tutorial/instructions somewhere, about side-loading apps, along

with the whys/wherefors/reasons for doing that, rather than installing

apps directly from an 'app-store'?

TIA...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
Root isn't needed for most sideloads. For Google Market install, rooting is apparently needed.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jdlothar:
Had something similar happen and re-seating the sd card fixed it. Probably a coincidence but worth a shot.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Singingdrum:
Just an update on my Nook Tablet--I never did get it to restart, even after reseating the sd card. I think the thing died completely. I called Barnes & Noble and they sent me another unit overnight. So far no problems with this one. Just in case the issue is caused by side loaded audio apps, I'm only installing audio apps from the BN app store. They have a shoutcast app called RadioBee and that works for my shoutcast needs.

Thanks guys for your input!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Singingdrum:
Well, I had the same problem with the second Nook Tablet sent from Barnes & Noble. It also stopped working and I"ve sent it back. It stopped while I was using RadioBee which I purchased from the BN app store. I don't know what the problem is with the side loading situation with the Nook Tablet, but I'm going to get a Kindle Fire.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
Your problem is that wifi is cut off upon inactivity time-out. The streaming app probably can't figure it out and keeps trying to connect, possibly leading to battery drain or system hang.

See if there's a setting to change wifi sleep policy. If not, you can try an app to maintain wifi connection when NT is idle. A couple are below:

WiFi Lock https://market.android.com/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.wifilock

WiFi Manager https://market.android.com/details?id=org.kman.WifiManager
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
Yes, that's definitely the location for the cpu and I think you're right. If it's not listed in the market as being OK for your device, proceed with caution. Some games seem to work fine too but overheat the NT as well (puzzle quest 2 does), so I would just wait for them to be updated or not use them. Or check whether it's in the market as OK for your device :) Heat in that corner is definitely something to watch out for.

But if you've managed to burn out two NTs with usage, I think a KF burnout is next :P But let us know :)

Howdy all,

I currently have a 10.1v 16gig 3g, would there be any point in changing to a p7500 or p7510 are either of them better than the v?

Thanks

I know I have not posted too many things on the forums, but, there too many of threads all tracking the release of the prime.....can we unify it under 1 thread for everyone and lock the others? ( including this one)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] adiliyo:
i'll lock you good! ;)

while it would be cleaner, in some ways threads about preorders from specific places might be better as no one seems to be on track with anyone else, thus the experience from where one preordered it is going to probably vary in some way.

There is a unified release date thread if thats what you want. link is incoming...

[LG Optimus 2x] mrmaffen:
Hi guys,

i recently bought a LGOS and soon began to tinker and try out custom roms. and right now im running into a problem i couldnt solve by searching through this or other forums. i tried out several different roms with different kernels (modaco, swiftextreme, stock (froyo and gb), cm7 newest nightly) and with every rom my battery drainage is way higher than it should be.

with battery monitor im reading values between 100mA and 900mA when the phone is in standby mode and not being used! the temparature is also quite high ... round 38°C

on some forum i came across the problem with FD dormancy, and because my provider ( eplus) doesnt support fd dormancy i tried using a workaround by shutting down the phone application everytime the mobile data connection is being disabled... but it didnt help.

so i tried wether or not my problem is related to an app or service. i shutted down every process possible and the problem still persisted. i also tried disabling go launcher and using the stock one, but it didnt work.... im using no widget at all on my desktop right now

i tried wiping my battery stats through clockworkmod recovery. and it didnt help.

right now im beginning to believe that this problem is hardware related. im so frustrated with this :<. the phone itself is awesome, but this problem makes it quite hard to love it :<

thanks for your help
[LG Optimus 2x] mrmaffen:
update: for the most part the problem was related to bad battery calibration. now the battery consumption is "only" ~50 mA in standby mode... the phone i had before, a "htc hd2 with newest hyperdroid rom" only consumed 3-5 mA when sleeping. when playing 3d games like gameloft's "order and chaos online" battery consumption on my LGOS averaged round 20% in 30 minutes of playing ... is this value normal?

the situation is still not very satisfying :<
[LG Optimus 2x] mrmaffen:
Update: i noticed that the battery voltage stats are totally weird. The battery monitor values seem to jump from low to high values while discharging. I also stumbled across some thread regarding cm7 from April. The battery driver from LG seems to be faulty. Is there any fix ffor this... I'm using modaco right now
[LG Optimus 2x] mrmaffen:
another update in this conversation with myself :D :

i tried using cm7 ... and it actually made my problem even worse. the phone discharged in less than 5 hours while in standby. now im back to modaco... discharge rate while in standby is ~40mA.

is there anybody else on here who can help me ? :<

i guess i will need to sell this phone :<
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
sounds like a hardware problem, maybe you should send it in for a repair.

anyways when using the phone it normal that the battery is empty after 5 hours or so... but that should not happen in standby. does it happen with a clen install an withoit anything installed?
[LG Optimus 2x] mrmaffen:
thanks for your reply ... my father just also bought an optimus 2x... so i will do some comparisons to check what exactly the problem is and wether or not it is software related. my last step before sending it in will be to revert back to stock froyo and install no app at all and check if the problem still exists ...

damn this phone is costing me many hours of stress and work ^^

[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
I got my Rezound right after Black Friday, and have had it about 6 days.

My fiance and her dad both complain that my voice sometimes goes in and out for a bit sometimes, making it hard to hear me, or not hearing me at all. At the same location I wipe out my incredible and it does fine, for a phone call that last 2 hours. This has happened quite a few times.

This isnt isolated to just my apartment, it happens everywhere i guess. I have an HTC Incredible that never gives me this issue.

I've pulled the battery, did a factor reset, did a prl update, but nothing seems to fix the problem. And of course the problem isnt consistent since it happens whenever it wants.

I noticed the phone also has a mic on the back, so I have tried to hold the phone differently to see if thats an issue, but the problem still happens.

Anyone else with the same issue? Amazon said they would just ship me another phone. I guess I will chalk this up to a hardware issue.

That was pretty much the only issue i've had, so I'm praying that the one they send isnt one having some of the other issues i've been reading about.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
Could just be a faulty phone. But I have seen a review state that it happened to him too, could just be a bad batch. You never want to do a PRL update with 4G phones, *228 is not necessary for these devices. Also by doing *228 on a 4G device, you have a chance of frying your SIM chip. I'd say give the new device a shot and see what happens and if it still cuts out or not. If it still does then it could just be the device needs an update from HTC. I personally have not had this issue happen to me. Hope it works out for you.
[HTC Rezound] derekisthematrix:
I'm really not trying to offend and it sounds like you have tried to deal with this issue already BUT...

Is it possible you could still occasionally be covering up the main mic on the bottom of the phone while holding it? I use my pinky finger on the bottom of the phone to help support it/hold it up and have now had to train myself to be careful not to cover the mic on the bottom of the phone (on my OG Droid it was on the front face of the phone). You may have a real hardware issue with your phone, but maybe do a test where you cover it up on a call to the same people that had trouble hearing you before and ask them if it sounds similar?

Good luck!
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
Thanks

You have seen a review that had a posssible bad phone that had problems with his voice being heard too? Do you by chance iknow where I can view that review?

Either way, thanks for the info, and tip on *228. I plan on trying the new device and hopefully it goes well.

Thank you.
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
Hmmmm

Not offended at all. You know I thought that too, so I started watching how I held it. I tried holding it different and nothing changed. The bottom mic im used to since I believe the Incredible had one in the same location.

I also tried to keep my hand somewhat off the microphone on the back also.

I tried covering up mics and was unable to decide if that was the issue. The replacement will be here in 2 days, so i play to play with this one some more till then.

You brought up a good point though, and something that I have been keeping my eye on.

Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
http://www.theverge.com/2011/11/14/2557172/htc-rezound-review is where I saw the comment about the calls. No problem! Hope the 2nd phone doesn't have this issue for you.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I've also had a complaint about this, its only been from one person though. And he as commented on it sounding like I was muffled and he will interrupt and ask how I'm holding it, I was holding the phone normally and not destructively each time :-\ he hasn't said anything about it in a few days though, idk if its the phone or the network lol :-\ but... Ive also had this issue, I'm kind of scared to get another one because of all the other issues some people are having with them.

Edit: also I tried to catch it happening by recording audio for about an hour with my phone in front of the TV and it never happened. So idk :-\
[HTC Rezound] got556:
My girlfriend has also began complaining about this.

The only possible explanation I can work up is that I've noticed it happens when my mouth isn't close and directly in front of the mic. So maybe the noise cancelling mic's on the back of the phone are picking up my voice also and therefore cancelling them out.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I also think the same tbh... I'm thinking that one gets too sensitive possibly, because I've been told it happens, when I notice that I talk louder or closer to the mic. And it doesn't do it all the time. Its very limited and random, I think its only happened like 3 or 4 times total, since I've had it... I wonder if it is the noise canceling being too sensitive. I bet a software update would fix it.

I was thinking that If it was the mic messing up it would happen more often. but I made a post about it I think a week or so ago, glad I'm not crazy though :-D

Edit: err.. I just realized my otterbox commuter case covers those back mics. I have a whole in the side at the top where that one is though. I suppose I could be touching that one some how, but what does that one even do lol?
[HTC Rezound] dccoh:
Well at least i'm not alone. Her dad complained about it first, then she did. I've never had this kind of issue, so I assumed it was there phone.

I even called my third's line google voice number and recorded myself walking around talking on the phone, to myself. I'm sure the neighbors might think i'm nuts at this point.

I listened to the recording, and I didnt hear any issues. *sigh* Well, if its how i'm talking into the phone, I don't know what to do about that. I've been talking on the rezound like I have every cell phone that i've ever owned.

I dont 'death grip' the phone, and I hold it like normal. Would hate to think I'd have to baby how I hold the rezound, but eh, anything can happen.

If my next phone does this, I guess I have to decide if I have to listen to her complain, or get a different phone (unless I write HTC and see if they have a fix on the horizon software wise). Bad thing is there is no other phone close to the Rezound right now.

I don't want to deal with a Razr right now, with having a non replaceable battery (by normal means), plus i'm not into motorola.
[HTC Rezound] eallan:
The holes on the back are NOT mics.

The mic is on the side. Those holes are antenna traces.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Hehe gud to know. I probably cover it or hit it a lot when talking hmmm ill have to experiment further
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Funny story: The day I got my phone I put it together, turned it on, did initial setup, and out of habit from flashing Dinc ROMS every other day for the last year I immediately did a *22899 and it popped up some message basically saying "don't do this" so I'm not even sure it will let you "fry" your SIM chip by doing the update. :)

Keep in mind the build he showed has some pretty nasty showstopper bugs.

I may play with ICS a bit this weekend too, maybe figure out how to instrument the audio driver in Gingerbread to figure out what mixers need to be set to what.

The good news is that if they fix this without waiting for a Samsung ICS release, audio routing is one of the main issues when porting from I9100 to I777, and if their solution isn't "wait for ICS binary blobs for the I9100", we should be able to port their solution fairly easily.

My money is on the CM crew getting ICS to the GS2 before Samsung does..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
If Samsung doesn't change their ways, which I don't think they will, we won't see ICS until next fall at best. The cappy took for flipping ever to get an official froyo. So we will see ICS from CM way before Samsung releases anything official.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kaldrick:
But you also have to think at the sales aspect of ICS 4.0. They have a huge window to make millions if they can push a Final Release and allow time for companys like Samsung and HTC to push out a even better phone. I think they will release it as soon as possible.

But your right. They wont change and it will most likely be Sep-Dec release.

I hope CM gets a release by chirstmas. Even if its unstable. As long as mic issues are fixed I'm gonna use it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
It wasnt Samsung that was slow with updates. Look at who rolled out Gingerbread first to handsets... Samsung (way before HTC, Motorola, LG...). The problem was the US carriers took their sweet ass time ****ing around with the final build that Samsung released to them. Look at all the unlocked phones. The Galaxy S phones got the first Gingerbread update rolled out to them before ANYONE.

Also, Samsung has had the ICS source code for awhile because they had to implement and build the Nexus around it. So its safe to say that the i9100 is going to be the first handset to get ICS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
I stand corrected! AT&T Fail then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stone_ship:
It must be the carriers. Look what's happening right now with the Galaxy Nexus and Verizon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Wrong.

The SGS2 is Samsung's best selling android phone to date. They WILL update it - it's also their most powerful phone to date. The international version will get it first then from there it'll take a week or less for developers to slap it right on our AT&T variant.

The captivate didn't see any official update from AT&T because AT&T drags their feet for whatever reason - but since it was a galaxy s device it had perfectly working unofficial ports.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoderk:
Yeah my point was an official for the i777 . As Red said AT&T is gonna drag so we won't actually see an official build for our phone for some time. So while my statement is wrong about sammy taking forever, us actually seeing an official build for the i777 will be some time. AT&T will take months at best to get it to us. Hellraised i9100 and CM7 roms will have to suffice for the time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
That's the "nasty showstopper bug" stuff.

In some ways this is bad news for I777 portability - as you all may remember, microphone audio routing was one of the things that needed to be switched around when Hellraising.

Basically - if the audio HAL gets rewritten, porting to I777 shouldn't be too bad.

If the audio HAL gets written as an ABI wrapper over existing audio libs, we should be OK (just swap in our audio libs)

If they are frozen until they get an ICS audio HAL from an I9100 ICS release, we could be screwed as far as call audio.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] silver91342:
It's always the US carriers. Coming from a Captive you could see the updates for the International version came way faster than the Captivate with almost identical hardware (same case we have now).
