If it were possible to send to ASUS for a refund, then we wouldn't be having this discussion.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Godswrath:
A lot of people keep mentioning the poor GameStop return policy, but nobody seems to mention the easy workaround, if it's defective they will issue you an exchange, since at the moment there are none in stock to exchange, they will issue you a refund (speak to a supervisor if you are having any issues).
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

I have continually been getting Messages on HBO telling me that only the Audio Feed is available. The thing is, my Internet Speeds are through the roof and it never occurred with my 3D. Also, when playing GTA III, the Screen freezes sporadically. As this was a Refurbished swapout for my former 3D, I am just wondering if something might be amiss.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

JJ

Try the app called 'AdFree' from the market? Maybe blocking the ads would help you...?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kennypow3rs:
The GTA issues are pretty common right now across many devices. I hope the devs cook up a fix really soon because I can't play it with that issue. Sometimes I'm in the middle of a huge mission and it freezes. I get so pissed lol. For HBO I'm not sure, maybe the app played well with HTC sense buy doesn't like the stock moto blur (aosp) roms. Have you tried emailing the devs of the HBO app?
[Motorola Photon 4G] CCallahan:
I have HBO Go and GTA III both and have not had any issues with HBO app. Is this something that has started happening recently? Have not had any issues with GTA III yet but have not played it that much. Maybe there is a conflict with another app on your device?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

After spending days getting the Stock Launcher and ADW EX just the way I wanted them, I did a Factory Reset per Motorola's advice.

I have not tested the Apps yet, but I am kicking myself for doing so as I really was happy with how I had the Launchers configured.

Cheers,

JJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
Audio feed only on HBO go is due to low bandwidth throughout. Basically it will steam the audio and if connection gets stronger then it will steam video again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

That was the weird thing, the Bandwidth was/is through the roof. I ran Speedtest and the results could not be much better.

As I noted prior, I ended up doing a Factory Reset and amazingly GTA III has been trouble free and HBO GO has not had a single hiccup since. Go figure.

Today, my Otterbox Defender Case arrived and I could not be happier. I purchased a Commuter to have Protection while waiting for the Defender to arrive. I like the Commuter, but HATE the Screen Protector. I even went to the Sprint Store and exchanged it once, but I still got bubbles after a very deliberate installation. The biggest reason I use the Defender is that it has a built in Screen Protector. I do wish Vaja made a Case for the Photon, but it is not to be.

Cheers,

JJ
[Motorola Photon 4G] ScottieRotten:
I was trying to determine the issue, you say your bandwidth is good. Make sure you have 4g enabled.

I cannot remember if I used the HBO app before I altered the proxy settings in my phone. You can alter them if you have your MSL.

To view them type ##DATA# in your dialer. It will bring up some fields. The field you will want to alter is the multimedia field.

I strongly suggest if you want to go back to stock settings you either write all the info down on the field or take a screen shot..

The changes you will want to make are.

Hello guys!

I recently bought a new Samsung Focus and I have to say: good job Samsung. A couple of weeks ago, I heard about a "hack" from XDA devs that lets you dual boot android and wm7 on it. So I was wondering if I could get some help from our beloved forums to get more information or links in order to dual boot...

P.S: sorry for my bad English

Thank you very much everyone! Alpha8768 ;)

Sent from IE9 for Samsung i917.
[Focus General] thanchetmy:
wondering

I heard the rumors too but could not find the sources or tutorials, please post if any have anything too share
[Focus General] irfanindian:
I think they were all rumours
[Focus General] alpha8768:
Freak, because we got clear information about it :/ Maybe the team who created the exploit (supposed to be the same exploit than on the HTC HD2) decided to not release their work? :( I'll try to search more when I'll be on my computer...
[Focus General] voluptuary:
Well over in the main WP7 forum they managed to get money rounded up to buy a Focus for cotulla/DFT. He has since posted a picture of a focus with MAGLDR on it. This would be the first step to custom ROM's but there was never any release info on MAGLDR or anything else.
[Focus General] rebweiser29:
Any new info on this would be greatly appriciated
[Focus General] arghblah:
Seconding this request. Much as I like my Windows Phone, I'd really like the flexibility of an Android and don't have any money to buy anything.
[Focus General] irfanindian:
Try bartering your phone on ebay ;)
[Focus General] omnis:
Also drooling in wait of this feature...

I will say I do love my unlocked samsung focus via the DFT and I know that the magldr is how one would dual boot this phone, I just don't know where to get the gingerbread rom for this model (v1.3). I'm dying to find the answer because I use my other phone which is an android to allow me a completely free phone via sip and google voice. I can't find an app for wp7 that allows this so I am basically just wanting to do this just for that feature because lets face it... not paying for a phone and having one over wifi is a big plus. WP7 just lacks in this area. All the apps that supposedly allow you to do it for free are just a bunch of proprietary crap. So lets see it guys... android on the wp7!!! :cool: (can we just use the htc hd2 android rom for this since the dft enabled an htc hd thing in the rom that does work for this phone?). Any and all help/comments/questions are greatly appreciated in this area.. even just pointing out a lil documentation to help get me the know-how to figure it out for myself would be nice. Thx.
[Focus General] titanhydro:
I dont think its that simple, the MAGLDR that was put on our Focus's while its still MAGLDR its a cut down version, and Cotula's twitter he explains it a bit better.

I'm with you on getting the Focus to run Android, I think everyone with a Focus would like that :)

Theres the HaRET thread which was first used to get windows mobile to boot into Android, which is making great progress.

Personally I think the Samsung Captivate would be a good canidate for the rom, but the major difference in their is

Captivate Processor: Cortex A8 Hummingbird Processor(Samsung)

Captivate Internal Memory: 2GB

Focus Processor: QSD8250, Qualcomm's processor, same as HD2

Focus Internal Memory: 8GB

The processors will be the hardest to get to work unless someone can break down how both of them work, it probably highly unlikely though :(

Theres the Vibrant(just like Captivate, but on T-mobile)

And even the Nexus S, but still that darn processor :'(
[Focus General] vanstygma:
No news? Really would be nice if we had a dual boot :(
[Focus General] voluptuary:
Someone would have to convince DFT to add 'Boot from SD Android" to MAGLDR like the HD2 has.... and then someone would have to cook an SD Android build... so while possible it's not probable.
[Focus General] lsguntu:
Just checking to see if anyone has any update :)
[Focus General] vanstygma:
Would be soooooo nice! I dont use DTF, im happy with my OS like as, but, a dual bot is a plus that cant pass!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kegman913:
Nooks purchased between Nov. 14, 2011 and Dec. 31, 2011, may be returned through Jan. 31, 2012.

after 1.41 blocking sideloading and my pc's not playing nice with my Ntablet, And Google announcing their own tablet at a competitive price, im almost positive I'm going to return this nook and wait. I was starting to love it with the sideloading but now I see B$N's app store and stand on sideloading....im really annoyed.

Im about to bring this thing back.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
I'm seriously considering it. I love the hardware, but not sure I want to hassle with the software. Cfoesch taking hers back has really made me stop and reconsider.

Not that I don't think Adam et al aren't doing great work, and I think they'll eventually get great things running on it, I'm just starting to think that I don't want to bother with it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
Is this only if you bought it through B&N?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JoeM01:
I gave it a lot of thought, and actually returned mine back in December. IMO, it was bad enough that the bootloader was locked. Then they started pushing out updates to plug the sideloading hole.

And ok, there were ways around it, but to me, it was principal. Who the **** is B&N to tell me how to use a device that I spent $250 on? and that's precisely why I returned it. there's no better way to express one's disatisfaction with a company then to hit their bottom line.

its still a nice device, but I just didn't want to support them any longer given their new business model with this device.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
This is their "holiday return policy."
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
I agree. I really think that they are breaking the law by sending updates without the OWNERS approval.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JoeM01:
eh, there could be some language in the EULA saying that it's ok.

my problem is that they claim the hacking community is less than 3% of their total sales, and that's totally probable. However, if it's so small, why piss off that additional 3%? It's only going to contribute to total sales, granted that 3% isn't going to shop the B&N "store".

I understand their logic/rationale, but in the end, it's giving people a sour taste, and people are taking to boards, etc to complain. Anyone who hits up a google search about the Nook Tablet can see all the *****ing about the locked bootloader, and sideloading being plugged. Joe-Nobody may not even understand what any of that means, but just might not like seeing all the negative comments.

In the end, I won't give them my money. And that's all you can do, really. They're gonna get pushed out of the market by more powerful, actual, tablets, for marginally more money.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] srenner:
On the other hand, B&N are fighting the good fight against Microsoft against patent/licensing nonsense, so I like that. I'm hoping there's a way to get ICS eventually, but this is still a great device with 1.4.0, OTAs blocked, root, custom launcher, Market access, etc. This will tide me over for at least a few years.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kreott:
Rooted and Loving It

I am thoroughly enjoying my NT. I got it in November, rooted it, had it unroot itself with the 1.4.1 update (urgggg), and used Indirect's method and other links to restore to 1.4.0, reroot, and block OTAs. My husband urged me to give up on the restore and reroot at one point, as it looked like I was going to blow a gasket or something. But I persevered.

Although I understand the sentiment that returning the device sends a message to B&N, I want to send a different kind of message.... I will do with this device as I choose. Although we (the 'rooters') are a small percentage of NT owners, we can be vocal and rather obstinate. I like to think that B&N may win a few battles, but they will lose the war.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JoeM01:
unless B&N decides to release an unlock tool, I'm doubtful this will be the case. it's just not worth the dev's time to try and crack a bootloader to develop for it when there are so many other devices (with more on the way) that are already unlocked.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nooknut:
This is not my only tablet, and although my first go around with Android, this device serves my purpose (mostly a reader). I rooted and blocked the updates, so the only "real" issue is updating it with presumably better/more stable updates in the future without hosing it. 1.4.1 hasn't really received a lot of "Wow" feedback, so it was a maintenance update. Likely, we won't see much in the way up grand updates. B&N, if anything, will likely release a whole new device for any major updates.

Does it have issues? Yeah sure, what platform doesn't? But all in all, a reboot here and there is not so much of a problem. Will I keep it forever, not likely, that's what eBay is for.

I like what it does, I love the form factor and industrial design.It's a fun gadget.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jimmysuggs:
Now that OTAs have been blocked, I see no real need to return the tablet. It does everything I want it to do and does it quite well. I have no idea how having ICS would make reading comics and watching movies better on the nook tablet. As such, I have no real need for it and don't care if it ever hits the NT.

Bottom line is that once you root and block OTAs, this is a powerful little tablet that's among the best (if not THE best) in its class. It has some issues but I'd rather deal with those than deal with a slow, glitchy piece of junk tablet that's fully hackable.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kionic:
Agreed. Most ppl just dont want the hassle of rooting or blocking ota.

Its not like you cant unroot it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] kegman913:
Yes the OP post is referring to extended holiday purchases.

I might change my tune if I didn't have the obscenely stubborn driver issues and could root but this whole experience with nook has been frustrating and left a bad taste in my mouth. Even towards their brick and mortar stores.

ONE MAJOR thing I overlooked when deciding was the Nook App store. $3 for something I already have and got for free? FU B$N. I dont even want the nook store on my/your tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dodgepot:
I, for one, will be keeping mine. I really like it as is (granted, all the additional work we had to do was ****ty but I've got it how I like it). Overall it's a great device
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] monopuerco:
Why would I do that? I had it rooted and OTA blocked less than an hour after I unboxed it (thanks to the XDA devs!), and it's been wonderful for whatever I want to use it for. Whatever drama comes from B&N is meaningless to me at this point, and if ICS becomes available for it at some point due to the efforts of the XDA community it will be the awesome sugary sweet icing on what is already a pretty tasty cake.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] thelivingdead188:
I wont be returning mine either. As much as id like to 'stick it' to b&n, I really am enjoying it with the snowball mod installed. Like another user said, idk how ICS will improve my comics/kindle/tversity watching and reading, but im happy with it now as is. This isn't to say id want the devs to stop working on it, improvements are always welcome, and im thankful for the work they've put into it thus far.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
After snowball-mod came out I decided to keep my NT since it essentially strips it of most if not all of B&N content. Since OTA updates are basically blocked for now, I see no reason to return it because it does have pretty good hardware specs for its price range. Maybe CES 2012 will change my mind, but I highly doubt it because most stuff from CES are high cost... which in my mind is a no no... sticking with my NT until something better comes that is in a similar price range:):D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Novalis31:
I'm on the fence leaning towards keeping it. I agree with most of you saying that working on this device is a pain not to mention the constant reloading and rebooting the windows driver. But with all that said I'm still winning!

I have the 1.4.1 rooted

Installed the OTA 9.9.9 block

Running GO launcher

Every google app possible

Got rid of everything B&N

Changed my status bar from B&N to ICS9 (hated that lil book)

And changed the n button to a back button, no need for button savior

Basically the only reminder that I have that's it's an NT is the boot screen, and I'm working on changing that.

I'm off the mind that I've done all this work so far, I might as well keep it. For all tencent purposes it looks and runs like Android 3.0.

I have faith that the NT will be hacked and have ICS9 someday, but until then I'm satisfied. And even if it doesn't get hacked I'm still able to run and install the same apps as someone with ICS9.

Sent from my Nook Tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CapsLockKey:
Engadget just posted an article of ASUS teasing a 7" Tegra 3 ICS tablet that will be $249. I'm keeping mine as I bought it for my son (and I steal it from him all the time), but I would definitely buy the ASUS over the Nook Tablet at this point depending on it's release date.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinjaDogg:
Has anyone had any issues running CM7 on a SanDisk Class4 microSD?

I bought one used, and got CM7 running, but with plenty of Force Close errors. After running a benchmark on the card, it sounds like I got a bad card (for running CM7, anyways).

Here are my CrystalDiskMark scores, run with the same card, in various adapters on my laptop:

SanDisk 32GB Class4

Random Write 4KB (QD=32)

Kingston USB Card Reader

0.230 MB/s [ 56.3 IOPS]

Patriot microSD Card Adapter in SD Card Slot ThinkPad L412

0.054 MB/s [ 13.2 IOPS]

SimpleTech microSD Card Adapter in SD Card Slot ThinkPad L412

0.065 MB/s [ 15.9 IOPS]

Kinda crappy compared to other results I've seen. Anyone else have bad luck? Any suggestions, other than a new card?

Thanks!
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blue6IX:
You'll always get lower scores when testing in a card adapter compared to a USB reader - but the speed you get from the reader seems a bit below normal by about half - you might've just gotten a bad card.

Is it a recent purchase? You can probably exchange it - they run off a ton of these at a time and a bad one's bound to slip through here and there.

The links to the memory card threads are in my sig if you wanna jump back into them quickly.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny.99:
Where did you buy the card from? Hopefully it is defective and returnable, rather than counterfeit.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
This is my suspicion.. However, C4 I'd think he bought in a Brick and Mortar vs online where it's entirely too easy to wind up with counterfeit SD cards.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinjaDogg:
Bought it from a guy on craigslist. The card seems legit, full 32GB capacity, 6MB/s seq. write speed, just crappy random write speed.

Anyone else with a SanDisk 32GB Class4 care to post CrystalDiskMark Results? I haven't found any when searching the forums... just 8GB and 16GB...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] switch81:
I bought a sandisk 32gb class4 from amazon. I don't recall the benchmark numbers off the top of my head, so I'll have to test it when I get home from work.

I did, however, recently move over from booting off the sdcard to booting off the emmc... It seemed to be a HUGE difference in performance. While I didn't get any FC's when running on the sdcard, the system did feel a bit laggy. Or I could just be imagining things...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NinjaDogg:
Interesting. I look forward to seeing your benchmark results. Was your a standard SanDisk card, or one of those "EXTREME" cards? (do they make those in a class4?)

I've read that a lot of people like running CM7 directly from the onboard memory. I'm weary of doing that, and I also like having the standard nook software too. Maybe if there was a way to dual-boot from the eMMC, then maybe I'd try it.

Thanks in advance for your benchmark test results.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprtfan:
I have two different SanDisk 32gb cards and both have been working fine for me. I can't remember the benchmarks right now but I do remember them being similar but a little better than may 16 gb and 8 gb SanDisk class 4 cards.

It also didn't seem sluggish to me after overclocking it a little bit.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobtidey:
If you have a good card then CM7 runs fine from it and I've done quite a few onto 32G Sandisk class 4 and got nice performance. However, there are significant advantages in running from emmc. For example, you then use the SD card as a simple, single partition card containing just user / data files rather than as a multi-partition card containing both the ROM partitions and user data. Updates become easier to manage as the standard ROM Manager / clockwork methods just work as intended rather than having to put renamed update zips onto the boot partition of the SD.

I'd not be weary of it, just because it sounds like a risky one way trip. There are good ways of reverting to stock if you need to.

It is possible to dual boot Nook stock and CM7 off the emmc, and I did that successfully for a while. The key is in creating extra partitions and moving the Nook software to the new partitions. Various guides are available, e.g.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1275859

I eventually simplified my family installs down to just cm7 as we ended up never using the stock Nook. One can use the Android Nook app for basic B&N content but if you use for magazine or childrens books then that is a good reason for maintaining a stock Nook. I normally use SD installs for any non-technical friends where there is a good comfort factor in an easy revert to stock.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TL2000:
I actually gave up on ever getting a 32gb card to work properly after I went through several of them. I just doesn't seem like the OS can do a good job with all of that extra space.

Things that fly on a 16gb card are terrible on a 32gb card that benchmarks the same way.
