[HTC EVO 3D] iconias:
thanks, Im a bit of a noobie

where is the build.prop and what exactly should I change it to? I want to install 3D apps so I should change to xxx3D?

I just noticed I cant even install a plain notepad app from MArket "Your device isnt..." Is that because of the QHD resolution..? Also screenshot app got "Your device isnt..."

This android market is a pain in the but...almost as restrictive as iphone market place...

EDIT: I found build.prop and changed ro.product.model=LG P920 Optimus 3D but still ""Your device isnt..." message.

What else should I change...?
[HTC EVO 3D] MIH1406:
It worked for me :)

Thank you

[HTC EVO 3D] bromerrill:
Hi all, just a quick report on this issue- using CM7 copes, android 2.3.2 booted from SD card on hd2 dual boot with WP7 in nand.

I was having the incompatible issue fairly often, so I installed "LCD Resolution (Root)" free download from the Market (it allowed me to install that one) but I think you have to donate $.99 for it to work. Then, in this order, force close Market (if running), delete the data, then launched LCD Resolution and reset my resolution from 180 default to 160, hit apply but did not check always boot into this (an option), then the app rebooted the phone. After the reboot I checked the resolution- it was at 160- opened Market, accepted terms, searched for the app I wanted and was able to install it without a problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] w0rdOo:
I just read a review of the LCD Resolution app and the reviewer said the app was saying all market apps were incompatible until he reverted to the default settings for the display
[HTC EVO 3D] jkester:
same problem on lizi y4 (gooapple v5)

I also have so many problems with "device isn't compatible with this version" in google play. I have a Lizi Y4, which is same model as Gooapple V5.

I tried installing lcdresolution, but cannot, as device isn't compatible :-).

What are the checks that google play makes? Is it indeed giving me this message due to density, or does it do other checks too?

Regards, JK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wallendiaz:
hi guys I wanna shared this problem with all because maybe someone has an idea to solve.

I have problem when I press on the green areas of the image, I have a little Creaking, but it feels when I press a little hard, but still bothers me because it's a $700 phone, I bought my phone on ebay to a Chinese seller, so I think I'll have to find a solution for myself and I would like to know if anyone can give me an idea to solve this.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ztm.000:
Nothing in either sopt for me. I have a minuscule amount creaking up at the very top of the battery door. Just have to push the battery over up a little bit and it goes away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
No creaking for me in those spots or anywhere else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bennettm89:
Ah, I have that creaking...but I have to push very hard. Bought mine via Expansys. Doesn't bother me too much. OP, how much pressure do you have to apply to make it creak?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NextNexus:
Yea I definitely have the creaking when I press down around and below the camera. It's annoying b/c that's usually where I rest my finger when I'm on the phone. Is it worth trying to get the device replaced?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bennettm89:
It always is and always will be user preference. Some people have lower thresholds for the little annoying things. Getting it replaced is solely up to you. For me, it's not a big enough issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
No issue here. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wallendiaz:
I have to press a little hard to hear the crunch, I think plastic phones always crackle a bit , whenever I can live with this if not worse
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wallendiaz:
I just solve my problem 2 days ago, I did was disassemble the phone and remove the housing and put it back, Now I have no creaking even in the battery cover, my phone is now like a rock. :D:D:D:D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flowage:

[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
I was reading can't remember the name, someone found an ICS launcher for the Rezound that was extremely good and was better than the stock HTC launcher. Anyone using one or know what I'm talking about? The GNEX has that extremely fast voice to text implement. Is that only available with ICS 4.0 or can that ICS launcher do that too on the Rezound? I love how it just continues to type what you speak without stopping.

All depends which phone you have.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bedalus:
There are a few methods, but they are all about the same difficulty. Read one of the stickies* on how to root your phone, then you can use clockworkmod recovery (available from the Android market) to flash whatever ICS ROM you like. I'm using Mark Vis' version.

You can update to ics without rooting by just downloading the ota update and using the built in recovery to flash it. But you have to have the same phone Google sent the update for. I think it was the t-mo version.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bryon15:
I can't decide. I've watched youtube videos of both of them and they both look impressive. The nook tablet being $150 cheaper than the galaxy tab is very nice. But I'm hesitating because last summer I bought a nook color and wasn't all that impressed with it even after rooting it. The overall performance didn't meet my expectations. It's sluggish, N64oid doesn't work on the latest cyanogenmod for it, the internet browser crashes, I keep losing my wi-fi connection, etc. In the youtube videos I watched the rooted nook tablet looks like it fixed all of these issues. But I'm still not sure. I don't wanna make the same mistake again. I want a full android experience. Even if it means spending the extra money on the galaxy tab. What should I do?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanwarrior:
The Nook Tablet is MUCH faster than the Nook Color (I had one), but I don't have N64oid, so I don't know the performance of running that.

To be honest, if you want PURE Android OS experience WITHOUT the hassle of sideloading GoLauncher, preventing OTA updates, etc..etc.., then get the Galaxy Tab 7 Plus. But if cost is important and you don't mind fiddling with the above, then go with the Nook.

I had the Nook Tablet since it came out and I spent more time trying to get it to work as a pure Android tablet than actually enjoying it, such as sideloading app, figuring out why certain apps doesn't work, etc.. and NOW I got the dreaded 1.41 update.

I am still trying to figure out this 1.4.1 update. When I revert back to 1.4.0, in order to use the NT, I had to turn on Wifi and register. Afterwards, I tried to sideload GoLauncher because I need to download Android Market app in order to get Titanium Backup (TB). TB is required to prevent the OTA update. However, before I get to downloading TB, I received the freakin OTA update again!!

I just want an Android tablet that I can use AND cheap, but apparently the headache of all the above made me not really enjoying the Tablet. So I am putting up my NT for sale and buying the Galaxy 7.0 Plus OR Galaxy Note, whenever it comes out here in the USA

The above is just my experience, so your mileage may vary.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
the dilema is simple if you have the money go for the galaxy tab if someday the nook tablet gets the bootloader finally unlocked then u could sell your galaxy tablet and go for the nook tablet and get some bucks back to you :D, but if you get to love and need the whole (camera + other addons) experience then stick with the galaxy
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bryon15:
That was actually very helpful. It does sound like a hassle/headache. Thanks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanwarrior:
I am fine with no camera, but I think the final straw was when I am trying to go back to 1.4.0 AND stop the OTA from happening again. Twice I tried the method I posted above, TWICE I get the OTA update before I can prevent it.

I know CM7 will come in when the bootloader is unlocked, but it probably will be months away before it becomes stable on the Tablet.

Don't forget to hit the "Thanks" button. :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bryon15:
Hey guys, who should I sell my nook color too? And how much can I expect to get for it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanwarrior:
Try Amazon.com. Search for the "Nook Color" and when it show up, look at the right side, there is a button that state "Sell yours here".

I avoid eBay because of the scammers and Paypal HOLD your money for 2-4 weeks before releasing it to you. If the buyer "complaint" about your item, valid or not, then Paypal hold it even longer.

Not sure the going price for the NC nowadays.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
why will you sell your nook color? it has cm7 and MIUI support. Is not that great as it looks?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bryon15:
Because I need the funds for the samsung galaxy tab 7.0 plus. I wouldn't need both. Especially when the nook color wouldn't get used once I have the galaxy tab.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] DeanGibson:
Check Craigslist

In excellent condition, about $120 (unless you have extra accessories). Remember that B&N refurbs with a standard 1-year warranty are $149.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] darkquota:
The 1.4.1 update is 283 MB. You must have a relatively fast connection :P

After restoring to 1.4.0 via Adam_Outler's method, you could try downloading something very large on your pc (large enough to effect the speed of all the devices on your network) while configuring the nook tablet to be rooted. Really all you need to download onto the Nook Tablet itself to root is the tgps_launcher.apk. Turn off your wifi after downloading it and then root. Continue to keep your wifi off on the NT.

On your pc, download the android central sideloading wonder machine here. Also the titantium backup apk from here. Use the sideloading wonder machine to install titantium backup. You need to have USB debugging enabled on the tablet just like during the rooting process via tgps_launcher. Now you can follow indirect's OTA blocking method here (all while keeping wifi off), and you should be safe.

The only time you will have wifi on is from first registering the device to downloading the tgps_launcher from here.

After the tgps_launcher is installed, there should be no need to turn on wifi until after you get the update block.

xdahgary was the person who suggested using the sideloading wonder machine, so credit goes to him (and indirect who figured out adb install works) for finding a way to sideload without having to use the web browser after the getting access to the development settings menu via tgps_launcher.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanwarrior:
Thanks for the information. Didn't know I can download TB instead going to Market. I'll try it out and see how it goes.

My Internet speed is 24 Mbps, but average throughput is about 21 Mbps, so I think it's not that fast. Not sure how my Tablet can attempt to download the update so fast. But with WiFi off, should be no issue.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] phon00b:
N64oid, runs beautifully. I play Mario kart 64 on a rather regular basis.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bobapunk:
Great post, darkquota! You saved me typing all of that! ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bryon15:
lanwarrior, let me know if that method worked for you.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lanwarrior:
I just spent hours trying to get by the first step: going back to 1.4.0.

I followed the link above (AdamOutler's method) and downloaded the file (acclaim-update_stockrecovery.zip). Put it in the SD card and then put the card into the NT. Rebooted NT....nothing happened, just back to NT normal screen.

I tried 4 different SD cards (Kingston, Transcend, SanDisk with varying size, from 4GB to 32GB) and same..nothing.

I viewed the YouTube video instructions and noted the filename that was downloaded is "acclaim-update.zip", no "_stockrecovery" word. So I renamed the file and tried again.... same thing.

So the 1st step failed..so far. I am also preparing for the 2nd step, which is getting the Android Central Sideload wonder and the link for the Mac is DOWN. I don't have a Windows box, so I have to wait till someone posted the link again.

This is what I meant in my post no. 2 above, where it just taking TOO MUCH of MY TIME just to get the NT function as a pure Android OS (I don't care about GPS or Camera). It's not fun going to Fry's Electronics, bought THREE (3) different SD cards and found out none of them works for restoring to 1.4.0, AMONG OTHER THINGS that I have to do to get to pure Android OS.

Not complaining against the NT, nor to the people who helped me with the instructions, but I just want something that doesn't take too much of my time.

Was LITERALLY about to post about that same link...

anyways...i was debating on taking it back as well...i just can't anymore...even with a locked boatloader, i still have, essentially, UNLIMITED storage...sure, i gotta swap out sd cards, but hey wtf...i can have 16gb of TV shows, 8gbs of movies, and 32gb of music...and all of fits in my wallet....no cloud needed, no wifi needed, BUT if want, i got the flix and crackle on there too!!

so in the end....sure we may have a locked bootloader, but we can still use ADW and get most of the apps we want online...it's not as easy, but its still cheaper and slicker...

B&N will either unlock it soon, it is the holiday season people and not everyone is working, or some amazing dev will see that shiny weak spot in the code....patience....

hell, over at the SGSII forum, they have the ICS code for weeks now and still don't have a stable ROM on that beast of phone....patience....

The remainder are incompatible micro SD cards. My 16GB Sandisk wouldn't work but a 4GB Sandisk did work.

With respect to the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, I'm tempted to turn in my Nook and get this. The frustration level has already exceeded the additional cost. I'd also like a SIP app like Sipdroid or Csipsimple to work on this device but so far I haven't found any. I suspect this wouldn't be an issue on the Galaxy.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] theundeadelvis:
I bought a NT thinking it would be a cool hackable tablet platform. I soon realized i wanted a fully functional tablet without the hoops to jump through. I returned the NT, bought a 7+, and it's amazing. The xynos can handle anything you throw at it, and our dev community is slowly growing. At a$150 in price difference i wouldn't say they are comparable devices, but i haven't regretted spending the extra dough on the 7+.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Bryon15:
Aww hell no. I don't feel like dealing with that. I had a hard enough time rooting the nook color. I think I'll just save my money for a galaxy tab.

Nook tablet it's a great device for it's money. But you need to learn how to do the things right that is part of the fun. If you are the kind of user that needs all your stuff on one place at once don't bother, buy any other tablet. I had a lot of fun hacking my brother's nook I gave to him as present and he loves it.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lenardo:
to prevent the 1.4.1 ota if you get it IMMEDIATELY....:

At the intro video, hold the Volume Up button and then tap the bottom corners of the screen. I found that bottom right, bottom left, and bottom right work best. A green "Factory" button appears. Tap that, and you're brought to a "this is the device information screen" with only two options and conspicuous open space in the bottom right. Hold the Volume Up button, and click in that space, and a button appears that says "Skip Oobe", and there you go. No registration required.

no registration = no ota...

after doing this,,,,get the apk to activate usb debugging, turn off automount and root.

After rooting get anycut activity new activity scroll down to oobE(there are about 20 or 30 oobe selections) and make shortcut- just keep making the shortcuts until you get the one that presents that first movie option, then you can go thru and register "normally" but you will already be rooted with ota's blocked.

Yep I'm soooo sold on the $250 Asus tablet, but I'm not going to return my nook today. I'm going to enjoy my nookey goodness now, and give it away to family when the Asus comes out.
