[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
With the 1.4.1 update, Barnes & Noble has demonstrated an aggressive anti-root and sideloaded apps intent.

There is no reason to think that 1.4.2 and later won't continue in this vein.

I don't want to work with a device from a manufacturer with this attitude. Even things that work today - might not tomorrow.

My still-wrapped Nook Tablet is going back today.

Thanks again to all the developers who worked so hard to make this the best tablet in it's price range!

I do hope B&N achieve the success in this market they so richly deserve.

I am outta here...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mohawkx:
Moved to other thread.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rmm200:
Bend, Oregon.

This is pretty much what I posted on the B&N web site today. They sure make it hard to provide feedback on company policies.

My Nook went back to the local B&N today - but I was totally unsuccessful in getting my reason for return registered.

I stated the Nook Tablet was the best device in it's class - but B&N policies about side-loading apps as evidenced by the 1.4.1 update make it a non-viable solution for me.

At least 4 times, the department manager did not exactly say I was stupid, but she did keep repeating that I was misinformed, and that unless I called Tech Support I really had no idea.

The reason for return was listed as "Customer did not like it" - which could not be further from the truth.

B&N feels that the modder community is no more than 3 percent of sales, and no risk to alienating them, but my fear is that the influence on sales is far more than 3 percent.

We will see how it goes after the technical web sites pick this up.

Side note - if you do return one, take a printed copy of the B&N return policy with you. I was told my unit was past the return date - but I had a policy copy with me. They grumbled a bit.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mohawkx:
Please!!!! tell me where you found a link to the return policy that is good till Jan 31st. I went to the B&N site and they only state 14 days. I don't want to drive almost two hours to the store and have them tell me it's only 14 days. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have 7 days left and my NT is going back. This has convinced me to get a SGT7. Another $50-100 and I can have a real tablet without all the aggravation.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zambien:
Returning mine tomorrow. With the plethora of refurbished and new quality Android tablets below $300 I have decided to go with a different and more techie friendly vendor.

So long and thanks for all the fish.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nataluna:
yeah i am thinking about doing the same thing. will probably return after xmas, i know it will be crazy then but ... just need a little more time to decide.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dassin4:
Mine is going back as well. The one thing I don't want is to be trapped in the B&N environment ever. This was my first tablet, and it made me realize what I DO want in a tablet so I pulled the trigger on an Iconia A500 last night. Yes it is a giant fat pig compared to the NT, but it has full honeycomb, Bluetooth, GPS, and a full size USB (host) port. I really love the size and hardware specs of the NT, but I do not have the energy to battle B&N :-P. I also retracted my recommendations to my friends, as they are less techie than I am, and would just be disappointed. Who knows, maybe I'll pick up another one day :-)

Cheers
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] NTAB:
The nook tab is great the way it is (pre-update). I played with my wifes while setting it up before wrapping it up for xmas. Being able to sideload apps and get the amazon market to get the same apps cheaper or free was amazing. My only gripe at the time was the lack of a copy/paste function. why in the world, they won't let you copy/paste to share an web address is beyond me...

If I'm not able to get this thing rooted and stop the OTA update, I might take it back and get her the kindle fire or a used nook color...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Tekara:
Looking like a return for me as well, Which kinda really sucks, but I suppose that's life.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] zmobie:
No, those are only pebbles from a tree falling on your heads, not the actual sky, guys.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nookabee:
Mine is a keeper! Eventully someone will find a way to let "us" run what we want on it, without the control of B&N...

In the meantime, I've caved in for a KF to play with too

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Retpallylol:
This update is the straw that broke the camel's back for me. I had just been debating to myself if I should take this back and get the HTC evo view. But now the choice is pretty clear. I'll be taking my NT back tomorrow morning. At least htc is pretty open about unlocking bootloaders to spur development. About to pull the trigger on an evo view for $239 on ebay, come join me brothers.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] HMG10:
You could get a really nice tab if you returned both and used that money...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] trippmcnealy:
Well I just returned my Nook, I absolutely loved the device, but I did not feel like fighting the uphill battle and never knowing if an OTA update would stop me in my tracks.

Best of luck to everyone that keeps trying.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Mageshadow:
Returning mine as well...

and buying a Nook Color. **** you B&N, I will still hack your device and use it how I, the ****ing customer, want to. Take my money
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] raqball:
While I am not happy that BN is locking the Tablet down, I do have complete faith in the awesome developers here on XDA.. I am sure they will crack it in no time flat...

For that reason I am keeping mine.. People are seriously over reacting to this... Manufacturers do it all the time and it is cracked all the time...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] smatticus:
there's also no reason to think that they WILL keep on this way. wow some people are so negative.

i have one, it's rooted, and according to this site, all automatic updates are blocked by the rooting method. I'm not sure why everyone is throwing a fit, it's not like BN is the first company to patch an exploit in an update or to have a locked bootloader.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thatdude90210:
Same here, I have faith in the XDA dev community.

Besides, I didn't get any fish.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] conundrum768:
You don't get fish. It's thanks for all the fish (that exist).

You know -- because they're awesome.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nookabee:
Well, I'm a gadget geek, I'll probably get me a Transformer Prime too, have to wait a paycheck or two! You can go for long on only noodles and coffee!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boomn:
Nono, the original context is definitely for fish you've been given. It also neatly parallels the situation of someone (who at least thinks they're) smarter getting out before impending destruction
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dkb218:
I'll be doing the same. Getting the TP as soon as Best Buy gets them in stock. I really like the NT but I never appreciated buying a product and then being how I can use what I paid for. Hence the reason I never buy Apple.
[Kindle Fire General] troydog:
So nothing going on today I got a usb to mi i adapter. Using a usb keyboard does not work with the kindle,

Looking into this I found using a usb lap and a usb Christmas tree lol there is no power out on the usb port on this unit.

Any clue what or how to use a usb keyboard with this? I looked at system files and all keyboard info is there.
[Kindle Fire General] asb2164:
Why would you want to? If you are going to carry around a USB keyboard just get a Netbook or a Laptop
[Kindle Fire General] troydog:
Just testing it out. They make a keyboard case for tablets. I had one for a inch one and loved it Best part is for internet or emails
[Kindle Fire General] troydog:
Case looks like this

Nice case... but... USB keyboards won't work with the Kindle Fire.
[Kindle Fire General] jolars:
No external keyboards work for the Kindle Fire.

(maaaaaaaybe one day someone

might

possibly

figure out how to enable bluetooth on the device, until then my comment stands)
[Kindle Fire General] rad3:
I don't think any tablet will accept a USB keyboard.
[Kindle Fire General] butterflygirl:
Some tablets that have usb host will let you use keyboards. Example: Archos gen 8 and 9 and I think the Acer Iconia A500, but I can't remember.
[Kindle Fire General] rad3:
Didn't know that. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] troydog:
Darn I was hoping it would. I use to have a zenithink 180 and got to love a keyboard case with it but just happy the kindle works.

Steps followed to flash ROMs,

1. Backup current nandroid

2. Delete cache, delete user data, delete dalvik cache

3. Reboot

4. Install ROM

5. Install the rom converter.zip

6. Reboot

I tried the following ROMs and each had there own issues,

1. Cool3D-AceS-v6-bravo - After flashing HTC logo, it shows "Quitely Brilliant" text and device reboots. This repeats endless times unless its brutally switched off by removing battery.

2. Cool3D-Runny-v5-bravo - After flashing HTC logo, it shows "Quitely Brilliant" text and also shows beat animation. By time I felt everything is gonna be alright, screen goes blank and remains dead. Again this needs brutal switch.

3. Blink v1.0 - After reboot, screen hangs showing HTC logo.

For all the above ROMs, i waited patiently for about 45mins only to see HTC logo... :(

Currently I am using Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 for recovery.

Lastly and sadly I have restore "Android 2.3 Upgrade" (Gingerbread) to get my device back in shape.

Folks anybody can help me on this............ :(

Thanks in advance,

If there is no Ext4 partition, it won't work.

Yeah, i should have gotten the GSM version..but this one was cheaper. :P

I live in Dominican Republic, and im currently using VIVA as my phone carrier, but i can change to Claro RD if they offer data plan for CDMA phones. :P
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neo_x22000:
if its a CDMA carrier u can try giving them ur esn number..but u will have to flash the phone to work on there network.. u may b able to take it to a carrier store and they can take care of it..

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
I know they can take care of it here, i know it can be activated here, but my doubt is with the data, if im going to be able to use data here.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
The odds are against a carrier store being able to enable data on a flashed phone but if you can follow directions and are slightly technology literate you can track down directions to enable data yourself once it's flashed.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djluis48:
I think i can do it. I set up my apn everytime i flash a new rom on my Vibrant...which is like at least 2 times a day, or more. :)

No. Even in most S^3 isn't possible, so the more the Nokia Lumia. You have to upload any firmware by Phoenix, but doesn't yet have a version that supports the Nokia Lumia.

---------- Post added at 09:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Even after uploading the firmware from another Product Code, your Product Code remains unchanged.
[Nokia Lumia 800] kimycai:
but u can flash any firmware for Lumia 800 by this tool

Making a lil up on this post...

Does anyone tryed to figure out how to change Product Code for Lumia 800 yet?!
[Nokia Lumia 800] MickyMax:
Why do you want change product code?

If it's for unbranding your phone, you can flash a country variant firmware without changing product code...
[Nokia Lumia 800] Tengaku:
Because once changed, updates via Zune are avaible...

Currently, if you fash your phone without change the product code, you don't receive any updates...

You have to flash again to update... So to wipe all data, and restaure all again...
[Nokia Lumia 800] jumpistef:
I managed to force the update by the connecting/deconnecting method even with an unbraded fw with the orange fw product code unchanged. So it's possible to update the fw.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Tengaku:
I guess, that can works...

But witch firware did you got as update?!

Unbranded?! Or Orange one?!
[Nokia Lumia 800] jumpistef:
it is the 7.10.8107.79 SE and the 1600.2483.8106.11500 (microprogram), still unbranded.
[Nokia Lumia 800] computman:
WHat is the "connecting/deconnecting method" ?
[Nokia Lumia 800] Tengaku:
Connect your phone to your computer, Zune will run...

Start looking for update, and 2 or 3 secs after, disconnect your phone...

Connect it back, and the update will show up... :)

Still, would be better to be able to change product code... x)

[HTC Sensation] galaxyhtc:
Hi everybody, this is my first post on these forums, although I have been reading them for over a year! Anyways, I was looking at buying a case for my Sensation that would keep it safe, but at the same time not adding to much bulk. I have narrowed it down to 4 cases, that I'm sure will all offer the level of protection I need, I am just wondering which one is the least bulky and slimmest.

Case-Mate Tough Case

http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Sensation-Cases/Case-Mate-HTC-Sensation-Tough-Cases.asp

Case-Mate Pop! Case

http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Sensation-Cases/Case-Mate-HTC-Sensation-Pop-Cases.asp

Otterbox Commuter

http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-Comm...=UTF8&qid=1320160752&sr=8-1&tag=5336653508-20

Naztech Vertex

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-GRAY-...=300611783107&ps=63&clkid=5006598650185159423

I was looking at the Seidio with the kickstand, but I don't like all the exposed rubber as that would make it more lint-prone, and more difficult to get out of the pocket(one of my top pritorities).

Thanks in advance!!!
[HTC Sensation] stratax:
the otterbox's rubber on its case looked low grade compared to the seidios and case mates. it looked like what trident was using..

i was looking into the naztech but i didnt like how there is a bar on the top of the screen lol. id like to see a review on it. might get the case mate pop
[HTC Sensation] fireishott:
If it helps your decision I had one otterbox which I had to have replaced thru otterbox due to silicone stretches and the phone will actually slide up and down in the case. had the replacement for about a month and just took off the second one today due to complaints of me sounding muffled and any back to the old dependable tpu case even though it is a ***** to get out my pocket and attracts lint it is my fave
[HTC Sensation] stratax:
yeah.. and if you watch the video reviews on it they didnt seem to pleased either lol. im dispointed in otterbox for this case.
[HTC Sensation] galaxyhtc:
Thanks for the info, i don't know though, was the otterbox easy to get in/out of your pocket.
[HTC Sensation] fireishott:
Yeah it was super easy due to the hard plastic that covered the silicone layer that is one thin I miss about it and am still on the fence about putting it back on. I will say my phone survived a few high drops ( I am a cable tech and it fell from a ladder about 18 feet to concrete with out a scratch)

Sent From My HTC Sensation 4G powered by Sense-O-Matic
[HTC Sensation] galaxyhtc:
Wow, you just made my decision harder.... !!! Haha thanks though, i'm sure i can't go wrong with either of these cases, but I just want to know which is the best.
[HTC Sensation] galaxyhtc:
OK, I'm pretty sure that the Tough Case and Vertex are out:

Tough Case: I saw that the rubber wraps around the screen on the phone, and can attach lint, also, it does seem a bit bulky.

Vertex: Lack of information is difficult. From the pics I don't think it'll work out for me.
[HTC Sensation] kushXmaster:
Personally I use zagg skins now. They are seriously epic. I have always hated all phone cases because of the bulk they add no matter how thin. But the zagg skins are tough...real tough. And add essentially no weight/thickness to the device. When I got mine i was trying to scratch the back and screen to no avail. zagg also offers a lifetime warranty, but I have no idea what their limits are on it. Plus you can customize it with any picture you want.

Just my opinion. Good luck with your choice.
[HTC Sensation] Bubreg:
I have both Case Mate POP and Otterbox Commuter... otterbox has far better plastic because it cant get scratched at all. The case mate pop looks like it's 10 years old after a week. Still I user POP rather than the otterbox because the rubber on otterbox is like a MAGNET for all the dirt that is around you. I used to clean the rubber, and put it in my pocket, and when I get it out it's entirely covered with dust... I don't even know what were they thinking when they were making it. Another thing about the otterbox is that the earphone jack cover never fits like it is supposed to.

I ordered this a week ago because it looks funny :)

http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Sensat...-Sensation-Sensation-SE-Tut-Silicone-Case.asp

I will order the case mate tough also... I hope that will be what I want at last :)
[HTC Sensation] galaxyhtc:
Wow, thanks for the info! So which one of those has a thinner/less bulky form factor, and is easier to get in/out of your pocket?
[HTC Sensation] Jerster77:
Case

I bought a Yoobao case off of Ebay, I love it. It is very tough and thin holds the phone tight.
[HTC Sensation] galaxyhtc:
Ehh, thanks for the info, but I already have a TPU and while it is nice and slim, I want something with a little more protection.
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
I'll put my two cents in, I just got the vertex and I'm very impressed. I've had the commuter and didn't like it. The plastic seemed cheap to me and was too slick. I also had a tpu case that was ok but I didn't think it would protect very well and made the power difficult to press. The vertex is quality, looks and feels very nice and fits great.
[HTC Sensation] galaxyhtc:
Hi, thanks for the input! Does the back material make it easy to get in & out of pockets easily? And also, is it thinner than your otterbox?
[HTC Sensation] master1454:
Haven't tried the Case Mates yet, nor the Seidio, BUT:

Naztech is a POS - crappy build, plain & simple.

Otterbox's silicone is too damn loose - quoting others here.

Just saying......
[HTC Sensation] BRisher777:
Well, I've been on these forums reading for about 5 months now, but this is my first post...

I've had the Casemate Tough Case for the same amount of time I've had my Sensation; about 5 months.

The tough case's hard backing makes it very easy to slip in and out of your pocket. The only exposed rubber is a small section at the top and bottom of the phone and a very thin rim around the screen, the rest is the hard plastic. I never notice that it's collecting lint\dirt, except when I remove the case, there is a small rim of dust collected under the rubber rim, but you can't see it until the case is off.

The exposed rubber parts always look clean and smooth, same goes for the hard plastic outer shell.

The farthest I've dropped my phone with the case on is off the bar... :eek: so maybe 4 feet or so? No damage to the phone or the case.

I haven't tried out any other smartphone cases, so I don't have a large frame of reference, but I haven't had a single issue with the tough case. Hope this helps!
[HTC Sensation] kingston73:
Have you actually tried the naztech case? I'm sitting here right now literally starting at it trying to find a problem with something and I can't. I can't compare it with the tough case but its better than the otter.

Like I said before, and I don't know if this even matters, the naztech has cut outs for all the holes on the back cover, none of the other two piece cases have that feature.

As far as the plastic, the naztech has a rubberized back which makes it easier to hold than the otter but still slides into a my pocket easy.
[HTC Sensation] grabshell:
i think you guys should check momax case....
[HTC Sensation] joe.attaboy:
For what it's worth...

I picked up one of these on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0055DHCKS/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details

Inexpensive, fits very well, easy to slip on and off, isn't a lint magnet, reminds me of the great Boxwave slip cover I had on my Nexus One.

Highly recommended.

[HTC Sensation] OhioDroid80:
I just ordered the Otterbox Commuter yesterday off eBay. I will leave my comments after I have had it for a few weeks. I have also been a fan of full body wraps but I felt that with this phone it could use a case because it just seem so fragile.

thanks...i cant decide which one to get now after using the stupid pop!
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Seidio Surface case works for me. A bit stronger than tpu, but not bulky at all.
[HTC Sensation] KCuadrado:
I have a TPU, and the Vertex, it's the one I use the most, it protects it very well. My phone fell from like 4 feet and it didn't had any scratch or damage. The only thing is that bothers me is that bar where it says HTC, it blocks the Proximity Sensor and when you call it doesn't shut down the screen. I took a knife and took it off hahaha. Also, the phone is a little difficult to get out of your pocket because of the black parts of the case.
[HTC Sensation] kpjimmy:
I have the Seidio Active case with kickstand with the holster. Love it ,but a bit too bulky for me for daily use. I use it for travel though. The seidio hit the cobble stones at Disney's magic kingdom where it hit the floor a few times when I was crouching down picking up my daughter. LOL.

My daily is this

http://xdaforums.com/show...0&postcount=22

It's a combo of hard plastic (clear parts) and tpu (black outlines). I have dropped it from sitting at table using the Seidio Active holster. And not a scratch. Impressed I was :D
