[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Skimp Killah:
If you don't feel like waiting a year to maybe have custom Roms, get a kindle fire, it has cm7 already and cm9 right around the corner.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] andTab:
I was hoping that the devs would find a solution but this seems to be the way to go.

Pretty much all the great devs have or are planning to get Kindle Fires.

The forum over there is "on fire" (pardon the pun)

As someone that loved the Nook Color that is very disappointing.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Skimp Killah:
Yeah, I was on the fence between the two, but the locked bootloader, and kinda goofy looking form factor of the nook tab made the decision for me, and yeah, the kindle forums are busy. I am very happy with my choice.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dannar:
Cm7 for the kindle has no sound at the moment, so yes, you can get a kindle and enjoy a buggy customization experience. You can already do a lot with rooting and side loading apps; you'll do this with a better screen and hardware specs on the NT.

That being said, the bootloader is a major clockblock for development of custom ROMs. While we can still root and sneak in apps here and there, we are as-of-yet powerless to remove Barns&Nobles pared down version of the android experience. This is a real tough nut to crack, as we're forced to either bypass or crack it, both of which are not fun to do. Remember, hackers are a minute portion of buyers, and B&N is subsidizing the cost of the tablet with their ecosystem.

The KF, on the other hand does not have the locked bootloader, which means its more likely that meaningful development will continue for it.

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
I'm pretty sure that I read somewhere that somebody has already managed to bypass the locked bootloader? Is this correct? What will this mean?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dassin4:
I really don't get why anyone would get a kindle fire JUST because you can modify it more (right now). What's the point if it has no SD slot and choppy video playback?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
Source? No one from these forums has as of yet.

If it did happen though, it would mean the Kindle Fire would be a flaming pile of **** compared to the NT :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yumms:
Nahh, not even close to unlocking the bootloader.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:

Sounds like there is some hope. I have been long time user of the "other" tablet and ordered a Noon Tablet, should have it Monday. I hear there is a way to do "sidelaoder" to gain access to the whole android market without having to root it. Anyone have a guide I can reference to do it to mine? I see many instructions but want to be sure I pick a "safe" one.

Other than the market, I don't think there is much more I'd like it to do. Does android have a app for Synology NAS? I also like using XBMC on iPad, anyone know if adroid has it or something similar/better?

Anything thing else you recommend I do to the NT without having to root it? My mail functions for the tablet will be entertainment, internet, videos, pictures and music.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] koopakid08:
To get market you have to root. I don't see why you wouldn't as there is the one click unroot app and the 8(or is it 10?) failed boot to factory restore if you have any issues and want to return to BN

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gammaworks:
why would you want to unlock the ROM anyway?

I have a rooted NT. It pretty much does everything I want out of a tablet. Just wondering, why would one want to go through all the troubles to unlock the ROM? What would that permit you to do?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
There are various parts of the OS that B&N deemed unnecessary and you'll soon find that even though you are rooted there are lots of things that don't work as you would expect, menus that don't display properly, things that randomly crash, the internal chip has bluetooth but it's not ebabled etc etc. Once they can get a custom rom on there these things can be tweaked and corrected. Making the tablet an even better more user friendly device that does even more than you realised you'd want it to ;)

Unfortunately though it takes time from people who are usually extremely clever. It just seems they dind't need to be as clever to do the Kindle fire as they do for this so many of them took the easier path and went kindle Fire. Once somebody gets to grips with cracking the Nook tablet it will be a far better device than the KF and probably better than any other device currently near it in price.

It'll be worth the wait!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dannar:
From what I've gathered, it hasn't happened yet. We have examples to extrapolate from with moto phones since moto usually employs locked bootloaders.

There seems to be a healthy discussion about it on the NT general forums started by Indirect about ways to bypass the bootloader. Check it out!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Balthazar B:
Has anyone found any cases yet for the VzW SGN w/extended battery that fit well, and are preferably on the svelte side (e.g., TPU, etc.)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I'm looking too. I was hoping the extended battery would add some thickness (like the Rezound). I'm finding the Nexus has little grip on the sides because they are rounded and the back is smooth. Thing is sliding all over the place.

I typically don't wear cases but it's almost too thin.

I see this white TPU case over in UK:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/White-Hybri...WO/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1324047680&sr=8-14

It looks awesome but they won't ship to me. I can't find it on the US side. I doubt .6 mm difference will affect the cases.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Can someone help me to understand what I'm seeing? I'm at work, and saw that I had full bars on my phone. Thinking, ''Hey, full signal, gonna download the latest myn.'' But the network connection was horribly slow.

So I ask, what does the signal bars actually mean? If not connection, then what?
[HTC EVO 3D] p3tr0s:
Just because you have strong signal strength doesn't mean your connection will be fast. If the towers are bogged down with a lot if users in your area at the time you could be standing next to the tower and have a slow connection. Same goes for as to whether it not sprint is having network issues at the time. Happens to me everytime I go to a sporting event or major concert.... Strong signal but slowass network speed.
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
The signal bars are a visual representation of your connection to the voice network, which is completely independent from and far more reliable than their 3g network. On AOSP ROMs however, this is the opposite, the signal bars show your data connection instead of voice network connection.
[HTC EVO 3D] Wiley_11:
You could use an app like Signal Status to show your -dBm readings for both CDMA and EVDO. It will give you a better idea of your signal strength. The lower your -dBm the stronger the signal.
[HTC EVO 3D] twiztidninja:
welcome to sprint enjoy your 2 years

True. I have noticed that.

I didn't realize there was a dual connection. Now that explains a lot!

It's not quite that simple. The default mapping is completely different than what the game expects.

So far, I've worked out the following mappings (Map these keys to whatever buttons you feel are correct, I'll dig out my PS2 copy tomorrow and check what everything is supposed to be)

A = Look Left

C = Change camera (Far\Close\Above)

D = Look Right

S = Look Down

W = Look Up

R = Change radio station

F/Enter = Get into\out of vehicle

Back = Return to menu

Space = Jump\Brake

Direction keys for directions & accelerate\steer

Still working on:

Punch\Shoot

Next\Previous weapon

Unless I've missed obvious instructions somewhere, it's just a case of trial & error. If I could work out where my mini bluetooth keyboard has gone it might expedite the process a bit...

Thanks! Where did you find these mappings though? I have a transformer , the SixAxis controller app and GTA III . I've gotten the analog sticks to move the character or steer the car, but haven't seen an obvious place in the options screen to map anything.

Is it working by any chance with a PS3 controller?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
Did you even bother reading any of this thread?

I've got a touchscreen mapping for mine that works with everything without needing to reconfigure GTA3 at all except for swapping the location of the handbrake & shoot buttons in driving mode, but I've no idea how to export it (it has an "import" function so presumably it saves the file somewhere in an importable form). The mapping I've used is setup exactly the same as the PS2 version (I have a physical copy of the game & manual that I was testing against). It's fairly similar to the setup MinusTheOh has come up with.

The only way to get shooting to work is via the touchscreen map, there doesn't _seem_ to be any keyboard equivalent to map the function to.

I'm also running it on my TouchPad as playing it on the little SGS2 screen is too awkward.

Asus has announced today that early production transformer prime, specificly the ones sold in the computer exhibit in Taiwan earlier this month, if user experience wifi instability problem, it is eligible for exchange after the 19th. The exchange has to be made between 12/29 and 2/19. Based on their announcement, I'm quite confident that they've done something to fix the wifi problem (the ones you guys are getting).

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] BarryH_GEG:
It also confirms that: A) there was a problem, and B) Asus Canada wasn't high when they told resellers there was an issue with Wi-Fi. It may also be a problem for early builds that GameStop stores already received that were shipped well before the 19th. The best news is they must have come up with a fix and units shipped the 19th and after are probably going to be fine. But it's still kind of spooky that a device they've probably been working on for at least nine months appears to have had a pretty significant issue so close to its release.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] andyxover:
i have to defend for Asus a little bit here. 9 month is short to come up with a device, the amount of work that has to go in to build something from scratch is a lot. compromise have to be made here and there, the ID team have to cooporate with the engineering team, and the engineering team have to cooperate with the IDteam. Things constantly change. The wifi issue is not horrible, if no one had told me about it i probably wouldn't even notice it. There are hundreds of problem when a new product is first put together, it a ot of work and time to fix them. And sometimes is manufacturing related, the prodotype might work fine, but when mass producing, some weird thing's gonna show up (which i believe is the case for the prime). I mean, look at the antenna problem with the iPhone 4 when it first release? or the volume key problem with the galaxy nexus.

Actually I think the AnandTech reviewer first identified the problem.

"ASUS originally claimed that no one else had this issue but it looks like the CNet reviewer also noticed it."

So I think BarryH_GEG has a point. It's good that ASUS is now reporting the problem, and doing something about it, but it doesn't paint a great picture for their QC if they don't do basic testing to discover such issues before sending units out.
