i use astro file manager and i don't have any problem. Somewhere, has an option to see all the files and you can edit OS's files
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] linkpatriots:
I think not, but some sellers on ebay are putting so in the description of the announcement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irishrally:
Absolutely not. Different radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
nope, it wont work! the bands are completely different... there is no place to put a sim card too, it only has an lte card slot but no sim.. sorry bud
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well the LTE SIM is of a standardized SIM size. That's not the problem.

yeah, you can't do this OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitchmoney:
I thought the lte sim is a micro sim card which wont fit the normal sim card...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Micro SIM is a

standardized SIM size

. You can cut "normal" SIMs (which is actually a Mini SIM) to go into Micro slots, and you can use adapters to put Micros into Mini slots. This is how people run iPhones on T-Mobile (cut a T-Mo SIM), and use iPhone-provisioned Micro SIMs in normal GSM devices (put in an adapter).

But like I said, this isn't part of the issue. The problem is incompatible radio hardware that can't be changed. I was just stating that the physical sizes of the card and slot aren't the issues.

thanks for clearing that up.. I had to click the "thanks" button also b/c i was number 300.. lol
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] b1ggjoe:
Greetings Everyone,

First-off, a little about myself:

I'm pretty familiar with the world of rooting/hacking/exploiting devices on multiple platforms, such as:

1. - Android (Rooting/Hacking/Custom Recovery, Kernals, Nandroids, Custom ROMs, etc.)

2. - Palm/HP WebOS (Developer Mode/WOSQI/PreWare/Custom Kernals/Patching/Themes, etc.)

3. - Blackberry (BBSAK/Vendor-Independent Custom OS/CODs/Themes, etc.)

4. - iPhone Jail-breaking (tethered/untethered) cydia apps, installous, etc.)

5. - HomeBrew/Exploiting of non-phone devices (Nintendo WII, Nintendo DS/I, Sony PSP), hell, even uncapping Motorola Surfboard Modems back in the day!

That all said, I'm pretty familiar with the whole scene. So although I'm no expert...I'm also not a complete n00b.

...except for Tablets, like the Nook Tablet!!! I'm still pretty much a n00b when it comes to tablets. I did assist a friend of mine in rooting here Viewsonic G-Tab a few months ago, but that's about it.

I just bought my son a Nook Tablet for Christmas and like all of the other devices, it's ready to be hacked.

With that said, I have all of the common questions that many first-timers do on the Nook Tablet, with the added experience that I can draw from.

So that said, can someone give me a 'quick n' dirty' breakdown or summary on where we are at today with the Nook Tablet in terms of rooting/hacking/exploits? Such points would include:

1. - Rooting; Are there multiple utilities out there, or is it all done through ADB?

2. - Custom Recovery: How many types of Custom Recovery choices are there for the Nook Tablet? My personal favorite is Xionia Clockwork.

3. - Custom ROMs: Are there tons of choices or only a few to choose from? Which ones are recommended? Which ones should I avoid?

4. - OTA Updates/Firmware Updates: As of right now, we have not even ran any system updates, because I wanted to make sure that I knew what I needed to before hand, to avoid risking any potential updates that could nuke my ability to root. So that said, is there a set of update versions that are more compatible than others? Should I update the Nook Tablet right away or should I avoid OTA updates like the plague? Is there an OTA update that could nuke my ability to root or load Custom ROMs?

5. - Will Android ICS become available for the Nook Tablet?

6. - What about the wonderful world of OverClocking?

7. - Any other helpful tips that will get me started on the right track??

Thank you all!!!

BiggJoe
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Nuckin:
Right now we have root through adb and scripts but a locked bootloader. Read the developers section for more info or use search
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] b1ggjoe:
Ok, got it. What about OTA updates? Should I update, avoid updating, does it matter?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] msorber:
I'm pretty new to rooting as well. I've been trying to read everything i can at the forums every night to stay on top of it. So far what I've learned is this:

1. You want to root your nook Tablet (I've only used Indirect's method so far)

2. Block OTA's (Indirect has a link on how to do it at the top of his rooting)

If you don't block OTA's you will be forced to reset your device back to 1.4.0 just to root it later.

There are a few new posts on other rooting options, but I haven't tried them yet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
You don't want the update (1.4.0 to 1.4.1). Look in the development forum for blocking methods.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] b1ggjoe:
Ok, this is awesome info. So we can at leat r00t for now and I need to make sure to block OTAs...since v.1.4.0 is where I need to stay at.

We'll have to do something about the locked bootloader at some point then.

sweet.

In addition to 'Indirect', who else is pretty active in Nook Tablet development and exploits?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] polbit:
Got my TP yesterday from Best Buy, and unfortunately it had few issues, biggest being that the left side was separating (you could see the glass move and could hear a click when squeezing it....) Needless to say I was not going to keep it, so I figured I will give a local Best Buy a try to see if I can exchange it...

I walked up to the Customer Service desk and explained the problem. They said no problem, just go to the computer area and get another one, and they will do an exchange. Went back there, and asked for a Transformer Prime. Got a blank stare, then was told that they are not out yet. I proceeded to explain that I already have one and I'm just exchanging it. Another blank stare, then I was assured that what I must have is the Transformer. I finally got tired of this and asked one of the reps to go back to Customer Service with me.

Upon looking at the box, he looked up the SKU and not finding it in the system, he told me that there is nothing they can do, since it's not in their system and he has no idea how I was able to order one. I politely explained that I have the packing slip from BB.com, order receipt, emails from BB, etc. I had two other people look at it, try to pull up the SKU, then telling me the same thing. It was time to talk to somebody that might have a slightest clue, so I asked for a manager. To make a long story short, after a 25 minute discussion where I was basically accused of "doing something funny", he called somebody else on the phone, and after a short conversation told me that he will "issue me a refund, but this is just not right."

I stayed calm and got the refund, then politely explained to the guy that I can't believe how they can treat a customer in this manner. I don't remember the last time being treated remotely like this, and I will certainly let the corporate office know. He could obviously care less...

Anyway, just wanted to vent. Best Buy lost a VERY good customer, as after this whole TP fiasco I'm just done with them. It's a shame that such a large retailer has so little clue about customer service and competency...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yumms:
Well the TP is not currently sold in stores yet, its an online only product. I can see why there were confused, but they should've know that though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] CrunchyDoodle:
Dang! I hope my luck is better. I have a Grey 64GB with dock on pre-order from B&H. It's amazing how lame and helpless these sales people can be. They are slaves to the Point-Of-Sale terminal with no imagination or obvious access to resources.

The correct response would be to accept what you said as true, apologize and issue the refund since they have no units in the store to give you.

Bye.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ludikhris:
Hmm, who would've guessed Paul Christoforo would get a job at Best Buy so quickly.

:D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jyan_osu:
Well obviously since his tablet was only purchasable on wwebsite as on the internet, they couldn't find it.

Mine comes in tomorrow from Best Buy. I hope I don't have any issues that I have to do go through them. Maybe I'll just contact my ASUS rep straight up if I have a problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Ludikhris:
True. Or he could have sold them all on ebay for $150 so there were none left.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] justwonder:
Asus packaging really sucks(only booklets is well protected), and BB mailed it in plastic envelope..No wonder there are a lot of problems....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] kaneohegrown:
Sorry to hear about the lousy experience. After working in retail, I can deffinently tell you not to threaten with "going to corporate". Just as you said they probably aren't going to care.

Much better to tell the manager on site that you want their District/Regional managers name and phone number. Call the number on the spot if it's during normal daytime hours. This will get you much better results.

District/Regional managers are the normal top dog of the store area, and if you can relay your distress to them in your treatment/experience, results will quickly follow. The store themselves aren't scared of a veiled threat to someone they never directly interact with ("corporate"). But get in touch with their direct boss (the region/district), and that'll put some fear in them...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] agtitan:
That doesn't surprise me one bit. Best Buy customer service and return policy is one of the worst I've ever seen.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
Now that the competitors (Circuit City, Silo) are gone some long gone Best Buy brick and mortars feel that they can do whatever they want. "Like where else are you going to go?"

but part of this blame also needs to be shared by ASUS for half-ass launching of their product. You don't launch a product to minimum stores unless you want your product to flop.

strange ASUS never revealed the amount of Primes they shipped to US for launch. My guess is under 3,000 units at best.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aimfire72:
I was in BB last week, doing other shopping and for the heck of it, asked if they had the dock in yet (they didn't). But all of the BB guys were insisting that the TF Prime was not even out yet and that it had been delayed until Jan. I was like "Of course it's out, I have one!!". Lol... :/
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the_game_master:
The Best Buy clerks at the retailer in my area knew that they were out but had no idea of when they would be in, they checked their internet computers and only saw what most online-shoppers saw the "Coming Soon" message.

Can someone explain to me again why BB stopped their TFP online ordering nearly 2-weeks before Christmas and put-up a "Coming Soon" banner? Do they not realize how many customers they lost in what I can only see as a dumb move. I mean even if you didn't have any TFP in-stock, you could have at least kept it set up as a pre-order to collect potential buyers, but leaving it as a Coming Soon did no good for anyone, not even their own brick and mortar retailers who also used BB.com.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stinebd:
With the ridiculous amount of issues that it turns out they've had with preorders, stopping them was ultimately the right move.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] polbit:
It is just truly amazing that a retailer the size of Best Buy can have basic issues like this and how unresponsive they are to fix those issues. I think the mentality here is - it is not effecting enough people, so let's just not talk about it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] craigmack55:
Hi I have a samsung infuse with at&t and I am wondering which roms support bluetooth? I know it has to be a samsung based rom but which roms are they ? thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
All of them do...except on cm7 and miui it probably wont work half the time if at all

only bluetooth audio doesnt work on cm7. samsung hasnt released gingerbread source yet.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dman3285:
That's what I mean when I say Bluetooth doesn't work....if Bluetooth audio doesn't work what's the point in using it...unless you transfer files like hell thru bt ....

I am also interested in a rom that has working audio bluetooth. I just got cm7 on it, and I really like it except for the lack of bluetooth audio.

If anyone can be of help it'd be much appreciated.

I just got a new card from Amazon today. I moved over a bunch of apps and later I had to reboot my phone. When it booted back up I got this. Any ideas?

View attachment 834613
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IcerJo:
Normally Any apps that where moved will do that for a few mins after rebooting or powering off and back on the device, If the icons don't show back up then there might be an issue with the card, if the app icons show back up in the app drawer then theirs might be a problem with the folder software.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thekarens:
Hmmmm, phone is stock and I bought the card from Amazon hoping to avoid any fake card issues. I have a program that tells if the card is corrupted, but it takes a couple hours to write the whole card and verify. Is there a quick program to tell if the card is good?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Indrid Cole:
What happened is the draw path for your icons is going to a empty file location. IE app not installed mssage. Go back into app drawer and reapply the ones you moved. But first remove the old app links from homescreen. Now if you moved the apps and it now ahows as not installed rhen chances are your card is bad. IE you moved them they didn't stick so it was like you uninstalled them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] thekarens:
Thanks, I'll try that!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unrandomsam:
Simple question really I want just something that will fit into the standard backplate. (I think I have trashed the genuine se one).

**edit stock size meaning physical size**

Price is not a major concern just want it to last over a day.

(Have the executive hard case that I quite like - perhaps if I can get something similar that would fit a bigger battery I would consider it - and I could still fit into the official dock dunno if that is possible).

(This is what currently happens)

In less than a day battery goes flat then red blinking light only way to get it back is with a desk charger that no doubt is breaking the battery further.

Sounds logical, but the VZW holster/kickstand case doesn't fit correctly, so I'm hoping they put a touch more thought in to the car docks design.

My phone is possessed. It called *22899 by itself today and now its whispering evil things into my ear. Oh wait, I think my girlfriend is still on the line.

Anyway, my PRL is 15098. Wonder if that was updated... anyone NOT have this happen yet on VZW in the northeast (NY) and want to share your current PRL? Maybe this update will help our service reception...

My prl was 15098.

It is now 52642.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bear55:
My phone was doing this when I was in an "extended network" area and it would do it repeatedly several times a day. It was reaching a call cannot be completed as dialed message so it was not able to check for a PRL update. I am back on the main Verizon network now and I still have PRL 15098.

Yesterday it freaked me out so much, especially when u have the bluetooth on, that i did a battery pull. I thought my phone was possessed til i read the forums.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sdiego:
I saved the number as a contact, then dialed out. I went from 15095 to 52616. I wonder if we will see any difference? Here in San Diego, Ca.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kspeaksster:
I haven't notice any change in reception quality at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] macooper79:
made no difference. It would be nice to get 6 hours on a charge and get constant 4g service like I got with the rezound.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Panzerapple:
You obviously did not own a rezound for very long. My rezound dropped data all the time it did recover quickly much better then my Charge but my nexus is steady all the time except for the outages of late.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strifejester:
My phone finally decided to dial by itself last night and now I finally have 52642 but my wife's RAZR is on the 15XXX yet. Does anyone know if this works on the RAZR as well?

I know this is kind of reviving an old topic but after all of the SIM card issues when the 4G phones came out it was something I never worried about until now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It may not matter at this time (or maybe even ever), but you are on a 3G PRL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strifejester:
I was thinking the same thing. There is no 4g where I live yet but I get to 4g areas often I will worry about it then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] quixoticelixer:
Will have a video uploaded soon of mine doing the exact same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] razor2006:
Trying to not stray off topic too much, but is this safe to dial now? I know when the Bolt first came out, *228 would fry the LTE sim (had it happen to me... stupid VZW employee)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
Right, because it's always a good idea to bypass a block that was clearly put there for some reason. Congrats on overwriting your SIM, against the advise of the people that made it and provided it to you, for absolutely no gain.

I had one for a little over a week to hold me over until the Nexus (Indirect agent waived any restock fee, probably because I was a port-in. Talked VZ out of the activation fee to boot, but I digress). Reception was pretty much identical to Nexus, but battery was worse on Rezound, as the LCD sucked more power than the OLED on the Nexus. Rezound screen ate 70-75% of power, Nexus screen uses 60-65%. And it drained that extra power from a far smaller battery. And it was as heavy as a brick. Kick-ass audio though. I sat it on my desk and it was the office x-mas music for the holidays.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshhhhh95:
okay so I have my nexus s and I flashed the new ICS onto it and it has been a bit dodgy, but mostly fine, nothing serious. My friend tried my password too many times so now it wants my gmail account login, which is not working at all, and I know it's been right, even tried changing the password on my google account and still nothing.

So I tried to put it into recovery mode to do a hard reset, but every time it does it flashes the blue android man (not little one with exclamation mark) then the screen turns black but my buttons are still lit up. Then after a few minutes, it just starts itself back up and I can't get it again.

I tried connecting to my computer to do something but I can't get into it so I can't turn USB storage on.

Is there anything that I can do to reset the phone even though recovery mode is not working?

thankyou heaps to anybody who has an answer or any suggestions, greatly appreciated.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
Use a PC to authenticate and make sure you're not using s two step authentication. If you can login on a PC but not the phone then you must have two step authentication turned on. Turn it off on the PC and try it again. Flash a new ROM from scratch and it should let you login.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshhhhh95:
thanks obsanity. I'll try taking off two step authentication. And so how do I flash a new rom if I can't put anything on the sd card? and then, how do I flash a rom anyway? and I don't think I rooted my phone when I put ICS on.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
You might not need to. If your system boots just try to fix the login issue. If your system doesn't boot you'll need to open up the boot loader and flash a recovery which will let you mount your SD storage as USB drive. From there you can put a rom on it and flash it.
