[HTC Sensation] undercover:
Save yourself money and get class 6. More than enough.

Go for any known brand. You.can just copy contents from old card to the new one.
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
I disagree, brand and class do matter. If you can buy class 10 Kingston , they are pretty fast and have lifetime warranty.

M experience with slower cards. If you play games and listen to music sometimes it can stutter , if your internal storage is not big (Sensation has 1gb which sucks) you tend to move lots of stuff to SD so if the card is slow it certainly affects overall performance.
[HTC Sensation] undercover:
This was the case with Desire, indeed, but mainly for ext partition.
[HTC Sensation] sly.cooper:
Thanks for your responses. I dont have an option to buy Class-6. I am buying it online and the only option that I have is Class-10.
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
As stated above go for a good brand. Like SanDisk/Kingston, I've tried cheap ones and they've failed quickly. My current one is a Lexar which seems OK.

There is an app on the market that you can use to benchmark the card. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of it. I found an old 4GB SanDisk which was Class 4 performed better than Class 6.

Is there a way to make the icons on the home screen bigger? I'm currently using go launcher.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] skyward01:
Found the setting to resize icons.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] maxspr1:
Can you post what you did/where you found the setting to resize icons? Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
^ In Go Launcher go to Prefs/Visual Settings/Icons. Under icon size, you can change between Default/Large/Custom Size. (Custom size up to 85, seems to require futzing with the grid size under screen settings to make larger icon sizes fit. Stock icons will also start to look blurry pretty quickly.)

Here's the caveat: it seems that if you make a settings change above, and hit the 'Back' button at the top, the change won't be applied. Ditto if you hit the 'n' button. Use the arrow back button on the status bar at bottom, and then the change should stick.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] maxspr1:
Thanks for the info!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Yup you must click save or the settings won't get applied. On the upside if you mess up you can just click back and any changes since you last clicked save won't be applied:)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] randyreed1971:
seems if you go over the 52-54 range it will start to get distorted, and if you go higher the labels will not show up under the icons.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GreenFuzzer:
I feel lost. I bring up Prefs in Go Launcher and it goes down hill from there. I have white lettering on pale gray so I have to click each option on that page to see what it is. The page it goes to is fine black font. However even checking each of the white font option I can not find "Visual Settings/Icons". Would you have any clue as to what I am doing wrong? BTW un-rooted, with microSD. Thanks for the help.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zaptoons:
Are you using GoLauncher EX version 2.69? If not, sideload it from HERE.

The first prefs menu in GLEX has white on gray menus, but they aren't nearly as unreadable as you describe. Here's a screencap of what I'm seeing:

The very first item should be Visual Settings.

I'm guessing you're possibly using an older/different version? (I think there's GoLauncher, GoLauncherEX, and now the 'tab' version as well. I'd recommend sticking with GoLauncher EX 2.xx)

Not being rooted, I don't think there's much you can do about the white menu problem for now. (I find that it's bearable when its gray on white as in the screen cap, but white on white is when it gets difficult.)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] GreenFuzzer:
Thank you zaptoons that was the problem I didn't have the newest version!! Amazing how much better stuff works when you have the same version and instructions are given for. lol I appreciate your help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bmerz:
Hey guys!

Before I manually install ICS, I have a couple of questions...

1) Does the screen capture work - for those of you on a NON-rooted NS?

*This is a built-in feature on the Galaxy Nexus, so I was curious if this feature also carried over on the non-Galaxy Nexus. Since I am seeing reports, that the Facial Screen Unlock feature, is not included - I wondered about this feature too.

2) Are you finding that a lot of your apps are not optimized for ICS yet?

Thx in advance! :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
yup, a lot of apps are not ICS ready, and will not even run

most are compatible

it really depends

you have a 50% - 50% chance
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerkwagon:
did you get your update from wind or the one from the XDA thread?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bmerz:
That makes sense, and doesn't surprise me really. It's been awhile, but I am sure this was the case when we all got the Nexus S w/GB.

Now I am just curious if the ICS on the NS enables screen capture, without root - as it does on the GN. :)
[HTC EVO 3D] 4512jth:
If I convert a movie on here from 1920x1080 down to our phone's actual resolution of 960x540, will I see any huge differences if I'm watching it on the phone's screen? While I love my HD TV shows on here, having it take up over 2/3 of my SD card is not so nice.
[HTC EVO 3D] oohaylima:
Yes, you'll lose details, but you won't be like, ''Omg! My eyes, my eyes!'' :D

I do the same thing for my wallpaper too.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hotrod010:
i just bought evo view 4g and just wondering if there is any overclock for it??? any costume romes would be added bonus but i like sense skin a lot so no complain on that!! but overclock would be a great mod for a single core processor!!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lovethyEVO:
I played with overclock on my view. I was too lazy to do the hardwork so I took the oc bits from leedroids source.

I still prefer keeping it at stock speeds. Right now my view kernel has interactive, ondemand, conservative and smartass governors and I'm working on getting sbc working right. I hate the way the stock charging algorithm on the view works.

I would release the kernel but seeing as how I'm trying to rush the sbc portion of it (taking an 18 hour nonstop flight soon) I don't think I would be able to release it properly (with source code available) since I am flying overseas and my household goods won't meet me until february of next year.

I think contradude was working on something but I also think he said he wasn't going to bother with a gb kernel. Check with him on that.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] garbb:
I have an LG Optimus S on sprint, but I think its basically the same as the optimus one so I am posting this in this forum...

I am able to initiate a dial up networking (DUN) connection with my phone to tether with my laptop but it will only work if I turn off mobile data via settings>wireless networks>mobile networks>data enabled>switch to disabled. I assume that for some reason when the phone is using the data connection the tethering fails because the data connection is already in use.

I am trying to figure out some way to get this to work without having to take the phone out of my pocket and turn off the data manually every time and then turn it back on when I am done.

Anyone had any issue like this or know anything to change to fix it?

I have tried PDAnet's bluetooth DUN but it has the exact same issue...

The strange thing that I have noticed is that the bluetooth tether works OK if the phone is connected via usb to a computer. It does not even have to be the computer that I am trying to tether with, just ANY computer. It makes no sense at all...

I am running a custom ROM and even tried flashing back to stock and the issue is still there so I know it is not a ROM bug.

NOTE: I use this for work and so am possibly willing to pay some freelance dev or someone to fix this issue if it requires a custom app or rom modification or something like that. Maybe there is a better forum/site to post a request like that?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bokaholic:
Hey there guys and gals.

I have been searching through the forums for 3 hours and have found nothing that has helped. If this HAS been answered elsewhere.. I'm sorry. I need help finding it apparently.

Ok. I got a Nook Tablet last night. It was employee appreciation weekend and it was cheap! Gotto rooted and it was working great. (Thank you for that!) I deleted an app (I was tired and can't recall which) not having my glasses on and in bed playing around with it and it flashed to the screen that looked like the nook tablet's home page. But with the 'live wallpaper' instead of the nook wallpaper. I figured I'd reroot it in the morning and go to bed.

So OK. Here I was. Nook unable to get back to the GoLauncher and stuck at the nook screen. Even after reboots I was unable to get it to boot into the Golauncher. I attempted to restore and reroot. But it told me it was already rooted and I attempted to unroot and reroot. :/ Apparently I'm a dummy. :(

Somewhere along the way I think I've bricked it? It hardly boots. It boots the 'n' and then pops to a black screen with a picture of a tablet with a red exclamation point in it and says the following:

"Please restart your device and try again. If you encounter the same issue, please contact customer service or visit: nook.com/tablet/support."

I've attempted the 10 restarts, the 8 restarts, and every other little tip I've come across so far. With no avail. :( I'm pretty frustrated and caved in and just decided to seek out your help. So any help would be.. Just... Amazing.. I feel absolutely silly as I've never had anything brick on me since 2008!

Thanks a ton in advance, and like I mentioned earlier.. If this information is somewhere.. I'm so sorry. I'll keep looking as well. I just want to get her up and running again so I can fix this. D:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] gr8wing:
What you need to do is a system reset first, then a restore if that does not work.

Turn off your nook, hold the N button and the power button at the same time until it goes on and off. Power on and it should ask you if you want to reset your nook. This will erase everything you have done and start new. If that does not work, you need to do the same thing 8 times to completely restore the nook to factory condition.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bokaholic:
Thanks so much for a quick reply, guys. :) Is there a 'thanks' button I am missing? Anyway, back to the issue at hand...

----------

Attempted the reboot & the rebooting 8 times as directed to no avail. I still get the black screen with the exclamation point saying the same thing.

I also attempted the do the whole adb shell and since it's not on it's not communicating with it so I can't do that either.

Any other suggestions?

Sounds like it's time for you to return/exchange it, and play the damsel-in-distress routine. If anything, blame it on your dratted-son-who-did-something-to-it-I-dunno-wut.

If the B&N techs play hardball and can't or won't exchange it because it's rooted, then you can do one of two things. Get loud and demand to speak to the manager. Then get louder. Remember, it's NOT your fault (even if it is), and you're not going to let any Scrooge-wannabes ruin your Xmas.

Best if you have little kids and can bring them with you. Even better if you can get them to cry on cue.

Or, if you aren't the voluble type, take it with you. For the second time, make sure it's truly bricked.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] hwong96:
Try doing the failed rebooted more than 10 times. I read somewhere in this forum it may take more attempts, maybe 15? or 20? You have nothing to lose and it may work.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bonusweb:
what does it say...

had a simular problem. what your goal is to interupt the boot. kinda like when in windows it will popup a window if you failed to load to windows by turning off power during prevoius boot.

I would just let it boot until a few seconds after get the n with black backround. or even the read forever screen. do you ever get to the the read forever screen?

Then i just keep hitting the power and n home button pretty much at the same time, you may want to try holding it or hitting them a few times. until it reboots. if you get it to reboot enough times you will see a reset screen, that will clear setting etc. And reboot. but if force boot more times you get a the same screen about clearing data it will show yellow progress bar until its done, but then it will reboot and show a second progress bar and say something about restoring default software. if it did not get to this step i could not get out brick.

maybe somewone could take a video of this and post it on youtube. it took quite afew attempts before i could figure it out. ive done it twice now. if i need to it again i will video it but restoring everything the way i like it is a pain.

you may have a bigger problem then this, but i would not assume so. i had trouble figuring it out and i was at the point of returing my nt as well. but i tried different things and it worked.

i keep geeting only a clearing data screen and not the full software restore. you will need to

see software restore on your screen. not just the clearing data thing.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] succulent:
You have to do the 8 failed boot properly for it to work.

Turn off your NT.

Press and hold the volume up and n button then press and hold the power button. Keep holding the buttons until your screen turn on. Keep holding until your screen turn off by itself. Keep holding 1 second after the screen is off. Release all the buttons and repeat 7 more times. Don't do it 8 or 9 more times. Turn on your NT on the 9th time with just the power button and your NT will automatically restore after the n black screen.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggz:
bokaholic, were you able to get your NT to factory reboot?

I believe i'm in the same boat as you. I keep getting the red exclamation mark. I've tried holding volume up, 'n', and power for 8 power cycles and 9th just pushing the power button to turn it on. It always ends up at the exclamation mark. I've also tried 15 power cycles ending up at the exclamation mark on the 16th power on.

Questions for the NT gurus:

Is it possible to corrupt the factory restore boot block?

Are there any other ways to force a factory restore? Just wondering when i should call it quits and start crying to BN.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] birdydon:
Try this.

Power off completely.

Press the power button and the "Nook" at the same time until the logo appears.

Follow prompt to do a reset.

It worked for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggz:
I've tried that. I always end up at the same screen though with the exclamation mark. I'm never able to get a prompt or the NT asking me to reset to defaults.

Thanks for chiming in though! I appreciate it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] darkquota:
I was going to suggest the 10 failed boot methods, but that only worked for me when:

a)my device wasn't bricked (just wanted to unroot at the time)

and consequently

b) the white "read forever" screen still appeared after the black "n" screen

Powering it up and then powering it down right when the screen switched to the white "read forever" 10 times in a row resulted in a factory restore (or reset; can't remember specifically) that cleared root, google apps, and everything else from my device.

I don't know what to suggest to you guys though.

Do you guys think Adam_Outler's SD card method of restoring could work?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggz:
I've tried the SD card method as well. This whole thing started cuz I was unfortunate enough to get the update. So I used the SD card method to down rev the sw. Then my "n" button wouldnt work so I decided to do the factory restore 8 reboot. After that, I'm stuck at the exclamation mark screen.

I've tried putting the same SD card in, with the same acclaim_update.zip but it doesn't seem to be reading from the SD card. I still end up at the exclamation mark screen.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] darkquota:
I'm drawing a blank at what to suggest next. Have you heard/read of anyone else getting this exclamation mark screen? (besides people in this thread).

I lost patience with it and solved it by bringing it back to the store and asking for my money back, saying the device was broken. Luckily the holiday return policy extends the normal policy until the end of Jan. good luck to you!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ggreenw:
Eggz,

Thanks. I've pretty much gotten to the point where I'm ready to exchange it but I bought it like mid-November so I didn't know if it fit in the return policy. Also, what was the reason you gave for it being on that messed up error screen, or did you just claim ignorance? Thanks,

ggreenw
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] eggz:
ggreenw,

if you bought from BN, they extended their return policy until the end of Jan due to the holiday season. Look it up on their website for holiday return policy. Also someone posted it on here somewhere. Their return policy also says "any" NT, keyword being any, just in case you might have to use that as leverage. But I just tried to play dumb and say it don't work. "I don't know what happened...I turned it on and I get this exclamation mark telling me to come to you guys" type of schpeel.

Kinda embarrassing being the second one to brick the device after countless people say it is extremely hard to brick. And now you are number 3!!!

Good luck to you!

Maybe I'll repurchase one in the future when things die down with updates and bootloader.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ggreenw:
Egg,

Thanks for the advice. I ended up going to the store here in Chicago (for some reason theres only two lol) to try and exchange and after watching them call tech support and try all the things I told them I already tried like holding buttons and stuff the tech support told them to replace it. When the employee told the manager the manager came and took over and told me that it would have to be replaced from the warehouse because if they exchanged it in thhe store they would "have to give me a refurbished one." I thought that was clearly ridiculous and obviously some kind of attempt at preserving their profit margin but I have an I pad at home so I didn't feel like pushing it. At least they will send one without me having to wait for them to receive mine, etc so its not that bad. Only thing is now it might ship with 1.4.1 and after that whole fiasco I'm a little wary of rooting but we'll see. So that's my long winded thank you, ha ha. Have a happy New Year!
