Because CWM doesn't properly wipe.

Look, I know CWM is the one to use on a lot of phones, but on the Evo, you should use Amon RA and before you flash MIUI or any ROM, you need to wipe everything. Click in the link in my sig for my Evo Guide and I have everything you need there

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knightrider2k2:
I noticed there is no search option in GN default corporate email app. Did they took out search or am I missing something? Very important feature IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I bought touchdown a long time ago. It is so much more full featured than the built in exchange client it's not even a contest. It's paid for itself many times over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZPrimed:
There's a search option in the stock email app. Spyglass at the bottom of the screen, above the back button. It seems to actually search bodies as well, which the Gingerbread version did not IIRC. (This may be dependent on the version of Exchange you're connected to, we are on 2007 which does allow for mobile search but the phone has to implement it correctly.)

I used to use Touchdown a long time ago (OG droid release), but through several phone switches and steady improvement of the Exchange client, I've been able to stop using it. It is ugly as sin and I don't like having my corporate contacts split from the rest of the phone, as I use Exchange for all of my contacts and ignore GMail contacts.

The GNex version of the client is actually really good and pretty full-featured at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knightrider2k2:
Touchdown is great and I have been using it on gingerbread phone (best app that can do html email on exchange 2003).

But the default email app on GN is great. I love how the emails look and GAL lookup work.

ZPrimed,

I do not see the spyglass button on my app. Maybe because I am using exchange 2003. We are upgrading to exch 2010 , so hopefully the spyglass button will be available in that version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
One feature touchdown has that I use regularly is the ability to do a server search since I don't sync nearly as much mail down as my server holds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ZPrimed:
That's your problem.

The search is implemented by making a request to the Exchange server and asking it to perform the search (with its own full-text indexes of your mailbox). The server then spits results back to your phone. IIRC 2003 can't do this, or if it can, the option isn't enabled by default.

Exchange 2010 will allow you to do it.

IME, most phone e-mail apps that have a search and DON'T implement server-side search only allow you to look in the sender address and subject - you don't get full body searching, unless they are storing it all in a DB on the phone and indexing that separately (and even then, you only get 30 days worth of results or whatever you have it set to pull in your folders).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPS_CA:
Touchdown Honeycomb version (Tablets) works on ICS

Existing Touchdown users. Dev modified it to work on ICS phones, MUST be using latest beta build until he finishes formal testing and releases to Android Market:

You can get that beta from here:

http://nitrodesk.com/tddownloads/nitroidbeta-honey.apk

Server Side search works great he also added a less pushy push implementation which is using less battery for me than the ICS mail app.
[Nook Touch General] michaelwill:
Has anyone gotten ADB over USB working with the NST 1.1 firmware? There seem to be guides all over the place, but they're either for the 1.0 firmware or for the original Nook, and every set of instructions I've followed doesn't do anything for me.

I'm trying to figure out why when I connect the NST to my computer via USB, adb can't see the device, no matter what I do. Looking at the ramdisk and the init.rc, it seems I have everything set up correctly. Of course, I could just use adb wireless that came with touchnooter, but I'd really like to get the USB version working again.

So, has anyone had any luck?
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
Not sure what ramdisk you're using but these are the ones used by most rooting methods around here.

The USB one works just fine, but I must say that getting the drivers set up on Windows 7 was a bit of a pita..

After trying several pre-packaged drivers I ended up editing the inf file in the android usb driver pack manually and got it working both at home and at work now, no problems.
[Nook Touch General] Gogolo2:
Runs good on 1.1. here. I also tried a lot of drivers and the working one only after 3 installs. I think it was the driver of the forum here (but Im not sure anymore after that mess).
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
Well, it's important to know that all those driver packages are actually based on the one you get with the Android SDK.

So people should save themselves the hassle and just get that one, and edit the android_winusb.inf manually.

Just add this to both the [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] sections:

;B&N Nook Simple Touch
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0003
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0003&MI_01

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

Ah, and ofc you need to add/edit %USER/.android/adb_usb.ini

# ANDROID 3RD PARTY USB VENDOR ID LIST -- DO NOT EDIT.
# USE 'android update adb' TO GENERATE.
# 1 USB VENDOR ID PER LINE.
0x2080
[Nook Touch General] michaelwill:
Thanks for the replies folks. Good to know that those ramdisks work well with 1.1 (those are the ones I've been using too)...so I must be doing something wrong, or my computer must be set up incorrectly. I'm on a Mac, so AFAIK, I don't need to install any extra usb drivers or anything.

I can connect fine to my phone with adb over usb, so I'm not sure why the nook is failing.
[Nook Touch General] ros87:
Well the ramdisks are nothing but a copy of the 1.1.0 ramdisk with adb enabled.

I have zero experience with OSx, but you might want to look at the Linux adb threads..
[Nook Touch General] michaelwill:
Yeah - there must be something wrong with my machine. I just reverted to the 1.0 version of the firmware, and went through the rooting procedure again, but my machine still can't see the device over ADB. I swear I had this working some weeks ago.

By the way, when you guys plug in the nook, and it shows the "USB mode" screen, do you first eject it from your PC, and then ADB works? Or does ADB work for you regardless of whether the NOOK drive is ejected or not?
[Nook Touch General] michaelwill:
Answering my own question here:

It turned out to be a fairly trivial solution - here's to not checking over your setup carefully enough.

It all came down to adding 0x2080 (the nook touch vendor id - which happens to be the same as the nook color vendor id - you can verify by using lsusb on linux) to the ~/.android/adb_usb.ini file, which basically just tells adb to look at additional vendor ids. This is stated clearly in the nook color docs, and I could have sworn that I did that hours ago, but when I re-looked at the file, I found mine was blank :(. As soon as I added 0x2080 back, everything started working perfectly.

Note, this is necessary for both mac and linux.

And, it doesn't matter if your NST is on the "Usb mode" screen or not; I got it to work both ways.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] acdcking12345:
I figured you guys would appreciate how I feel. I feel sad. No tablet to play with. It is amazing how quickly I grew dependent on it. Now I have no tablet. My wife thinks its ridiculous to feel sad over sending a tablet in for RMA service.

But I never left the house with it. Or went to work without it. Etc.

It sucks...And I am sure Asus will take their time. So I figure with Xmas and new years, I wont see it till next month.

[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
I seem to get a weird arrow on the top of my screen on my DVP. It can happen at the lock screen, text screen, and home screen. I thought it meant I had an update but I already updated to the legit version of mango and I dont have any updates on my phone or when I plug it in and check in Zune software. What else could it be? Pics are attached
[Venue Pro General] gauravr88:
its supposed to mean your keyboard is open. if its on all the time w/o your keyboard open, it may be a glitch of some sorts..
[Venue Pro General] evilp8ntballer7:
Alright I'll see if it happens when its open, does ENU also mean something about the keyboard or typing? I have had that lately also
[Venue Pro General] frazell:
In fact, the icon means you have Shift on. As a result, every letter you type (until Shift is off) should be capitalized.

You can be confirmed of this by pressing shift whenever you have your keyboard open (and are in a text field) and you'll see the icon re-appear. Also holding shift to enable caps lock will result in a darkened version of the Icon appearing.

The reason you're seeing it everywhere is related to the Keyboard bug introduced in Mango I'm sure. Hopefully 7740 fixes it, but since I don't yet have that I can't say.

This bug is also responsible for sometimes not having your first letter typed be capitalized even though this setting is enabled on your device.
[Venue Pro General] InvisibleKnight:
I've got the latest update and the said bug is still present and annoying as before...
[Venue Pro General] F0l3ert:
I have the same issue on my dvp running the latest 7740. I thought the bug was related to the way i power on the phone, sliding it up and down just a bit to get the screen to turn on, instead of pushing the akwardly placed power button.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one

ADB commands do not work in fastboot. Logically only fastboot commands work in fastboot. So you have to use

Now you shoud get "List of devices attached" plus the serial number of your Desire.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Well, I sold my Glalaxy Nexus to finance a new Galaxy Note N7000. I have read many stories of AT&T being jerks about this phone (not tablet, BTW) classifying it as a tablet and forcing users to a tablet only (non-voice) plan. Mine gets here this Monday and I paid dearly for it, so I want to ensure I set it up properly to avoid the unethical pressure AT&T will place on me if I set it up out of the box without making any changes. Here are my questions:

Should I immediately root and delete the EFS folder (after backing up) so AT&T doesn't flag it as a tablet?

Should I set up APN settings and use as normal, hoping they don't spaz and flag as a tablet?

Should I just put my SIM in and go, praying I don't get illegally harassed for having a tablet (when it's simply a phone with a large screen)?

It seems AT&T has their head up their asses and execs are calling this phone a tablet, making them even more money-hungry. I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan and use like 2 gigs a month. It's not like I got the Note with the intention of consolidating my entire gadget lineup and use it as a tablet, consuming terabytes of data. It just has a pen and large screen and well under the typical tablet size of 7". It's a large pocketable cellphone and I want to use it as such, just as I have with tons of other imported GSM phones.

So, what's the 100% reliable method to avoid the shady accusations AT&T will inevitably place on me if I just put my SIM in and use it with the expensive service I already have.

It really is a shame they are being assholes about this device.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hausman:
Is "pray" a choice? :)

Sorry, couldn't resist. Seriously, what I was planning to do (I almost did this last night but I've chickened out) was:

1. Buy AT&T service with another device - I was looking at the captivate glide, as a backup device in case the Note gets stolen, dies, or AT&T renders it useless. I always "self-insure" with a backup phone on any carrier, and this way I get a 4G SIM card and bona-fide service for 30 days to try out.

2. Obtain the Note from Amazon, Newegg, etc., root the device, mv /efs to /efs_old or something like that. Reboot, whatever is needed for that to take effect. Also copy /efs_old somewhere else safe.

3. Set APN according to various posts here and at Amazon, etc.

4. Insert SIM, hope for the best.

That was my plan, anyway. I think doing that, the major risk is that the generic IMEI is flagged as bogus.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Thanks. So it sounds like it's still a craps shoot as to whether AT&T will tackle you accusing you of using a tablet.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 900SS:
I called and told them what the phone was and they said ok and all was good untill the 14 days laster they shut my data off.

After 3 hours on the phone with them 6 reps/ managers they asked for my IMEI number then told me that it did not show up so they could not turn my data back on. Finally they just entered a fake IMEI number on my acount and turned my data back on. Will see how long that works.

[Nexus S Android Development] AdamOutler:
Hey guys.. This tool will recover your bricked Nexus S after a bad firmware update. If your phone is showing anything on-screen, this tool is not for you. Don't forget to hit the donate button :).. hey, it's Christmas and my kid could use some extra toys. Note: 1/2 of any donations received from the UnBrickable are split with Rebellos for firmware development.

Introduction

Last night I received a PM that Nexus S devices were getting bricked after applying a T-Mobile update. I responded by creating Revision 37 of the UnBrickable Resurrector. Rebellos and I have developed a software solution to get bootloaders back on what would otherwise be a Hard Bricked (or lucky bricked) Nexus S.

You Will Need

You will need some software on your computer to get started. Here's what you need

Ubuntu running on your computer- Get Ubuntu here: http://ubuntu.com/download

Team Hummingmod's UnBrickable Resurrector R38 or higher- http://code.google.com/p/hummingbird-hibl/downloads/list

The latest version of Java- http://java.com/en/download/installed.jsp

Software Based Resurrection

Now that we have all the prerequisites taken care of, let's resurrect your device.

In Ubuntu, right-click the UnBrickableResurrectorR38.jar, click properties>Permissions>"Allow executing file as program"

Plug in your Nexus S

Right-click the resurrector, open with Java, and observe the following image

Select "S5PC110 (Nexus S) from the drop-down box.

Click the Download Mode button. The resurrector will ask for a password to access the Linux device.

Enter your password, then hold the proper key combination on your device to access Fastboot or Download Mode.

Depending on the button combination you hold, your device will end up in Fastboot or Download Mode. For Download Mode you can use Heimdall or create a Windows Virtual Machine and launch Odin. Fastboot may be easier to use for you. See other threads in this forum for loading software in Fastboot or Download Mode.

Please note, I do not own a Nexus S, so please follow the advice and answers of others who help you with your particular model in this thread.

Though i am not in need of it, since my phone is not bricked.

But this dedicated thread will definitely help those who have bricked their phones, and stop them from opening up multiple posts regarding the same issue.

by the way, can you update the title to include ICS firmware update, so that people searching would know exactly what the thread is about. Just a thought.

Generally, use of the UnBrickable Resurrector requires a hardware modification. Open the phone, remove the xOM5 resistor and make the xOM5 value high instead of low.

[Nexus S Android Development] AndroidUser00110001:
I had that problem yesterday. After you run program, plug phone into usb cable, hold button combo as you normally would to get into the bootloader, when bootloader comes up you can use fastboot from linux or boot into windows to use fastboot to repair your boot.img and bootloader.img. Do not unplug phone if you are going to reboot into windows.
