[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eller200:
I bought "In-ear Headphone Earphone Blue Mic for B&N Nook Color" for my Nook Color running CM7. And I don't know how to use the mic feature. I tried to work it with skype, but no luck. IT can be plugged into a 3.5mm jack, which the nook color supports. I get audio, not the mic to work. Do I need an app to work this?

I attached 2 pictures of the headset. And the details about them are down below. Thanks for your help whoever :)

Details in the listing of the Item:

New generic Universal 3.5mm In-Ear Stereo Headset w/ On-off & Mic, Blue

Quantity: 1

Enjoy hands-free conversations with this universal 3.5mm In-ear Stereo Headset w/ On-off switch

Includes integrated earpieces and microphone

Cord mounted ON/OFF button which lets you take calls and hang up easily

Excellent sound quality and super clear sound

Keep your hands free and on the wheel

Longer right ear plug cord design for wearing behind the neck feature

Length: 1.4 M / 4.6FT

Color: Blue / White

Accessory ONLY, cell phone not included
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
Is mis-advertising. The Nook Color does not support microphone input via the audio socket.

The only possibilities for audio input are via bluetooth or usb hosted audio input. Some people have reported some success but I don't think there is a good solution for this.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patruns:
Actually, not mis-advertising.... just not for the NC. Note "cell phone not included"....
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
Given that Nook Color is in the title of the eBay listing I looked at, shouldn't it also say "any way of actually making the microphone work with the Nook Color is not included." or perhaps "enjoy one way hands free conversations".

Naw the digitizer just displays two versions of the image and light up accordingly and have their own touch sensor separate from the lcd. Kind of like a crosswalk sign.

My g/f did it all herself with no experience so I'm sure anyone could do it.

Put it back together and there is no touch sensitivity through the middle portion of the screen looks like we'll need a new lcd : /

[HTC Incredible S] tandfeen:
You need to change the digitizer again.

You probably broke the cable to the digitizer. I did the same thing the first time. There is very little space for it and you have to be very carefull when pressing the digitizer back in place.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Was like that before I changed the screen unfortunately so I have a feeling that's not it... What's the piece that gives touch functionality the lcd or the digitizer?

Hey, I'm interested in disassembling the phone to replace the LCD. I just noticed some weird horizontal banding when looking at the phone from the angle, it sucks but it bothers me.

I have a question, do you need a special tape or any other materials that the average guy might not have? How hard is it to remove the glass screen from the digitizer/lcd panel?

I'm assuming I can buy the same unit for the s710d / s710e right? (Verizon incredible 2 / euro Incredible S)

Here's pictures of my banding. I'm uber annoyed at it just because I noticed it now... :rolleyes:

http://i39.tinypic.com/xfnat0.jpg
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
The only thing I had to buy was 3m brand scotch double sided clear tape. I do reccomend buying the pry tool advertised beside the glass as I was extremely annoyed using a knife (lol) to seperate the glass from the LCD.

The parts will be the same from your phone to mine.

Search YouTube "HTC incredible s screen replacement" than click on the first video.

Be VERY careful when you pry the bottom portion of the glass away from the adhesive near the captive buttons. You have about a 1/4" of clearance for the cable until it tears. The top of the glass is also attached by a cable and a piece of rubber but you don't have to be as careful as their is a good 1/2" of cable to play with. The hardest part is removing the digitizer adhesive from the bottom of the glass you need a very thin knife if you don't buy the accessory and if you tear it away the digitizer will have to be replaced.

3rd edit: you need a torx driver set and tiny Phillips drivers there's 1 torx size and 2 Phillips size.

I had to change my metal cover - and had no chance to do it without changing the complete display :-(
[HTC Incredible S] hosecastro:
Just wondering? What did you use to reglue the Digitizer back ? Also is it glued onto the LCD or onto the phones housing? or both? Thanks for answers!
[HTC Incredible S] tandfeen:
It is glued to the housing. And so are the lcd. But LCD and digitizer is not glued together.

To put it back on I used some strong double sided adhesive tape.
[HTC Incredible S] fridaycider:
screen replacement

the screen and digitizer are stuck together, i have just repaced the full screen, lcd, digitizer and touch keys and it came preasembled.

there is a thin line of adhesive on the edge of the digitizer, i suppose it is to keep dust from getting between them.
[HTC Incredible S] tandfeen:
Depends on where you buy it then I guess. As you can see in my thread I linked to before I have changed the digitizer only.
[HTC Incredible S] Amar-S:
Hey any idea where can we get the plastic cover , i had dropped my phone so it has scratches now..
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Hi tandfeen, question.. now that you replaced the digitizer, do you have to worry about dust getting under the screen? I noticed there was a good amount of black putty glued to the old digitizer and I am worried that with a new clean one it is possible for dust to get between it.

You can ebay or amazon for "incredible s battery cover" or "incredible 2 battery cover".
[HTC Incredible S] tandfeen:
Actually yes, if you don't seal it again dust will be able to get under the screen. Still not that easy but I learned the hard way than it can happen if you take your phone to a dirty environment :)
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Hmm now I am thinking of ways to seal this. The clearance margin for the digitizer is so small. Maybe will have to cut the double sided tape or use some strong putty material ...
[HTC Incredible S] fridaycider:
one thing i noticed about just replacing the lcd is that at the bottom of the screen where the touch keys fit there is a lip so that the digitizer fits flush to the screen and keys.

on the replacment lcd there is no lip so you get a small gap at the bottom of the lcd which i used a double layer of tape to bridge the gap.

on the assembly it all seems to fit flush with no gaps..
[HTC Incredible S] kaijura:
Hey beertime, sems like I got a portion of my digitizer that stopped working too after doing this. I had the green tool, but I might have stretched the digitizer too hard although I don't remember going hard on this spot.

So I changed the digitizer on my incredible s but the touch is very very finicky! I have to keep doing another swipe and swipe on the lock screen until im finally able to unlock.

[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
If it's still messed up in a couple days than you might have a problem, just give it some time.
[HTC Incredible S] hosecastro:
So i have tried two different digitizers from two different sellers on ebay. First one worked for a bit than started dying down and then eventually stopped working completely. Second one works but only on certain parts of the digitizer. Has anyone here purchased these digitizers off ebay and installed one successfully?

P.S - Device is branded as T-mobile during start-up, but Unlocked.

Please Help me i want to root my DS so badly.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
The RUU isn't in the list, sorry. Here's an idea - Instead of using RUU, make a nandroid backup of your stock ROM as soon as you get recovery (after root). I have one. I made one for my friend the same way, he just restored it and un-rooted when he sold his phone last week
[HTC Desire S] rusor123:
Ok. Nice to hear there's another way, so what's the difference between installing RUU again And restoring the NAND image? Will it come Back to the stock ROM?

I' am kind of a noob, so can u point out some guides to using Nandroid backup?

Thanks a lot for the help man!!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
A nandroid backup is a backup of your phone, ALL the partitions. When restored, it brings your phone back to the way it was. All your data,settings, home layout etc. Are restored too. (Along with your rom)

Making one is very easy, in recovery mode, go to BACKUP & RESTORE and choose backup. It'll take 5 minutes and make a backup (~1 GB) in your sdcard in clockwork mod/backup folder. Copy the backup and keep it on your PC.

If you want to free space, delete the files in the backup folder and re insert from PC later. Do not delete the folder itself.
[HTC Desire S] rusor123:
Where can i find the BACKUP & RESTORE option? Is it a option in Nandroid application?

P.S- Please provide a link to the nandroid application download page.

Thanks Shrome99!!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
OK, let's see. Are you rooted?
[HTC Desire S] rusor123:
Yea did the S-Off...
[HTC Desire S] foX2delta:
Did you install clockworkmod?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Good. Now, use this to get CWM recovery - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14693680

The backup guide is there too ;)
[HTC Desire S] rusor123:
Hey i think i get it now. I just skimmed through the guide i think i could manage- the instructions are clear.

Thanks a lot Shrome99 for your help! :-)
[HTC Desire S] rusor123:
BTW could you suggest me a good ROM. I prefer one that is fast, with the least amount of bugs and crashes, battery saving, good UI.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Alright, up to good UI, ALL your demands are fulfilled by CM7. They are based on AOSP, HTC Sense is removed so it's very light. (tell me if you want Sense) CM7 is super-fast, great battery and bug free. If you think it's ugly, try MIUI. It's based on CM7 with some enhancements. I suggest you try both, then choose. (Choice is one of the best things now :D ) Also, both have their own sites so the thread may be a little old.

CM7 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1268304

MIUI - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1194397

Now, i need to know if you are S-OFF (revolutionary) or have an unlocked bootloader (htcdev.com). Flashing procedures are different for both. Tell me which you have and i'll give you a procedure
[HTC Desire S] rusor123:
The device is S-Off, but how do i know whether it has an unlocked bootloader? And i think i' ll go with CM7.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Having S-Off means you have an Unlocked bootloader. But, you may have an unlocked bootloader with S-On.

Since you're S-Off, to flash a ROM in recovery, Just backup your current ROM, then

-Wipe Cache

-Wipe Dalvik Cache

-Format System

-Format Data

-Wipe data/factory reset

-Install ROM from SD Card

If you are updating the same ROM, then just wipe cache and dalvik

I know this much, the boot.img file it's self once unpacked from the update.img file

is a gziped cpio file, with odd header and footer bits. I have been able to unpack the file (removing header info to make it gzip recognizable), and then using 7zip of all things to unpack the cpio portion. That is where I get hung up at. I need to unpack it correctly so it can be rebuilt correctly. By doing it the way I have, you can't rebuild the file properly.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yareg:
It seems that some of 'boot.img files' don't contain zImage - only ramdisk. Open such a file in Hex Editor and search for combination 1F 8B 08 - this is a beginning of ramdisk image. You should look for zImage/uImage in another partition of eMMC. For example, on my device (Alcatel OT-986) the kernel locates in 'kernel' and ramdisk is in 'root' - no 'boot.img' at all! )
