[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pogofx:
You can sideload after 1.4.1 without root. I have three tablets that I do it on. The difference from before the update is that you have to install the apps from your computer. You'll first have to get access to the hidden menu so that you can turn on usb debugging and turn off auto mount. If you installed an app like tgps before the update you'll still be able to get there. If not, you'll need to revert back to 1.4.0 to get tgps installed (or something similar). I recommend using AdamOutler's videos on youtube to revert back. That's what I did - thanks Adam. You can then use the script that Indirect provided in his post in the Nook Theme forum which will continue to work after the 1.4.1 update. The most difficult part for most is getting the usb drivers to work correctly on your computer in order to recognize the Nook properly. Search the forum a little more and you'll find what you're looking for and more detailed instructions. Nothing I did was original thought, just piggy backing on the hard work of folks around here.

While the process to install an app is a little more involved, it really only takes me less than a minute. Download using the Amazon appstore on the Nook. Transfer to the comupter using ES File Explorer and DropBox. Move the file on the computer to the correct directory, hook up the Nook, and then run the script. Quicker than is sounds when you're sitting at the computer.

Folks, good morning,

Long-time lurker, first-time poster here. In my exuberance to changer ROM's and Kernels, I have somehow deleted all my stock notification sounds. Without performing a factory reset, pulling the stock sounds from the device, restoring my backup image, and then transferring back the sounds: is there a means for me to access the factory firmware to pull the sounds, or are the sounds available 'somewhere' where I can download? Specifically I want the whistle sound back.

Thanks for the support!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] djtyres:
I finally got my Otterbox Defender through work for my i727r (Rogers version)

It's kind of a funny thing. As we know Otterbox adds a lot of protection at the cost of sleek looks and a thing phone.

The Otterbox Defender is a monster in this case. They seem to have fixed the tabs that hold the case to the belt clip. They are no longer flimsy little tabs that can break off but looks to be more of a solid moulded piece of plastic.

They have also seemed to use a much more ridged rubber and seems a bit higher quality then the Iphone 4s, HTC series Otter Boxes.

As usual we find a screen guard on the front and the usb port and headphone jack are both covered.The belt clip is massive and solid as always, also the belt clip is also a stand which is always a fun feature.

My personal opinion is it does bulk up the phone a lot and you loose the really nice design aspects of the phone. That said you know you are protected! The place this really helped me most is actually texting it keeps my palm away from the number and symbol sign when I am texting. I use to get numbers and symbols randomly showing up in my texts but not any more.

Over all it's a great case if you don't mind loosing the sleek lines of the Sky Rocket i727
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DjRashonal:
would you mind snapping a pic of your skyrocket in the case? i'm debating between the defender and the commuter
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jslanger:
I've got the same dillemma too. I'd like the Commuter case more for less bulkiness, but I also would like the holster that the Defender case has.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 0x20:
I also got a defender for my skyrocket. I also had one for the iPhone 3GS. I am impressed with the quality of the rubber, as the op said. The various cameras (front and back) do not have the plastic shielding, which I was disappointed about as dust as already accumulated over those areas and I could generally clean my 3GS with a bit of alcohol. I am also concerned about the phone overheating - I noticed that it got quite hot when I first placed it in the case.

As the op said, it's a bulky, but your phone won't get damaged.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MAGiK9:
I actually really like the Otterbox Commuter. I don't need all the protection that the Defender offers, sooooo i turned to the Commuter. It doesn't really add that much bulk, and i think it looks great on the phone. Only con I have is that you have to push a little harder on the volume rocker and lock button at first. It has softened up over time though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dvandam:
I have the commuter. I got it for free as part of a bundle deal after I complained to the AT&T store that I wanted a discount on the phone (which they didn't give me, but I figured getting the overpriced protective case, screen guard and car charger was as good as it was going to get.)

Overall I have to say it's good. It does make you forget how svelte and light the Skyrocket is, but overall I have a lot more faith that this will survive a fall down the stairs than my old N1 did which basically just had a standard glove case on it. Still it isn't without it's flaws. I often find myself pushing harder than I'd like on the side buttons in order to get them to register. Also, as I mentioned before it feels like it doubles the weight and bulk of the phone. Still, for me it's basically a necessity after what happened to my N1.

It gets my recommendation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jslanger:
Wish there were a way to purchase the Commuter case locally (though AT&T does have the Defender in store)...seems like the only places selling are online. I know it'd make me much more likely to buy if I can put it on the phone and actually feel what its like...guess pictures will have to do for now...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] a_rocklobster:
I got my commuter from Amazon and I've had it for a few days.

Pushing the buttons is a bit of a pain but I found that if you push with your nail, rather than the pad of your finger, its a little easier.

Every once in a while I get a bit of a bulge by the charging port.

I miss the slim ness of the phone but I know it'll handle drops a lot better, so its worth it.

Plus it doesn't look too bad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
It seems when you use a case like this, the button pushes will become easier as time goes by.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Phoneguy589:
The defender case is an awesome case for protection. It covers the micro usb and headphone jack just in case you might get caught in the rain or splashed unexpectedly. The only issues I have with the case are:

1- Trying to drop down the notification area. You need to get your finger right up at the top of the screen. Not a big deal, but just an observation.

2- Basically like my first complaint but when trying to move icons/widgets from one page to another it is a little bit of a pain to get the icon/widget to the edge of the screen but if you use motion control it makes it much easier.

3- (My last one) I've had otterbox defender cases since the OG iPhone so I know this from experience....dust and small debris DO make it under the built in screen protector so you must take the case apart and clean underneath it. Even though the phone has gorilla glass, it will get scuffed up, like little nicks in the glass. My dad had his iphone 4 in his otterbox the day he bought it and when we took it out to get a pic of it for ebay, his glass was chipped up. Solution --> Put a screen protector on the screen and then put the otterbox case on. I personally take out the otterbox screen protector just for that reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jslanger:
Quick question about the Defender case: is the screen protector built into the case itself, or is it separately applied? I have a screen protector on mine currently, and wouldn't see the purpose of adding another on top of that. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] laclark2002:
Yes, the defender case has a built in screen protector. I just bought one last week and have been using it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] djtyres:
Sorry don't have a camera at home to snap a pic. I will do it tomorrow at work though. The reason there is no screen protector over the camera is it would cause a softer image from the camera.

With the built in screen guard I clean inside once a month usually with most otterboxes. The bonus on this one is they changed the design of the inner plastic making it nice and easy to take it off :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xiLLeNtz:
Kind of surprised that no one has mentioned the Impact case from Otterbox.

I picked it up along with the Defender case for my dad when it was buy one get a second case 50% off. If anyone is looking at the Defender I personally recommend straying away. At $20 I am suuuure you could find a $10 case just as good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 3inst3in:
I have both the Commuter and Defender for my Skyrocket and they both are high quality and protect the phone well, although do add a fair amount of bulk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 0x20:
Has anyone noticed a considerable decrease in battery performance with their defender case? I'm wondering if my phone can't "breathe" properly and is utilizing more battery than if it was not in a case at all. It's a suspicion I've got at this point, but I'm not able to last more than 6 hours of moderate use before having to charge, which is unacceptable in my opinion.

I have not done any testing with the phone outside of the case yet, I'm just curious if other people have seen similar issues.

And for the interest of full disclosure, yes I have been putting custom ROMs on my phone, and that could very well be attributing to the battery problems -- but I'm running a ROM right now that other people agree gives them excellent battery whereas mine is completely sucky.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] djtyres:
Nope no more battery drain then normal, I am still getting 2 days easily with the LTE radio turned off. I also run a heavier launcher and animated lock screens and I am still good :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Creutzfeldt21:
I love mine, but i have to be honest, i did remove the screen and wash the glue off due to some lag on the touchscreen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] HomeR365:
Great Case

I use my SGH I727 in an industrial setting, the Defender series works great. I've dropped the phone several times and it dampens the fall perfectly. It is bulky, but I have massive hands and these days I can't physically hold a smartphone without a bulky case on it. Also I found the screens are really sensitive, and the Defender screen cover balanced out the sensitivity perfectly (it's sensitive enough to function properly, but not to touch things by accident.)

It does not interfere with the radios at all that I can notice. My big worry was that it would prevent cooling, but I've never noticed the phone get hot with it on.

Highly recommended if you need size and protection. I also like the commuter case if you don't need all the bulk.

You prettymuch have to have an nvflashable sbk1 tf101 to dual boot Ubuntu, I believe.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] goodintentions:
Which you can't with the serials b70 and after due to no nvflash.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrevankyle:

Is there a way of running a virtual machine on my transformer? I think I've seen something like this done with Backtrack 5 on a Xoom, but I wasn't aware of any virtualization software available for Android..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CrazyPeter:
So you bought an Android tablet to run Ubuntu...

Why didn't you buy a PC?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Taknarosh:
Because of the many advantages of ARM chipsets? More efficient power consumption, less heat dissipation, etc.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] MarkyG82:
You could get a net book with a decent battery, an extra gig of ram and whack ubuntu on that.

The more recent atom chips or even amd's are great for that sort of thing.

Could always put a small ssd in it too.

What sort of battery life do you expect from a TF101 with ubuntu?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hellrespawn:
Asus has promised to release a tool to unlock the Transformer bootloader (at the price of voiding your warranty). When (if?) they release it, you should be able to install Ubuntu on the newer Transformers.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sustantivo:
Yes , but if I do this will it save files i've put on the ubuntu etc oh and btw just a quick little off topic question, i rooted my tf101 with razorckal, will i still recieve the ota update for ics?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cezz_:
Yes, you will get the OTA update (whichi will remove root, if you just apply it)

BTW, I could imagine creating CWM image for ARM Ubuntu, but as far as I know, nobody did that yet, so it would be a DIY job
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
my thoughts exactly.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Sustantivo:
I didn't buy it FOR ubuntu, I bought it just for tablet stuff but thought it would be cool to have ubuntu on it too, as my comptuer broke not long ago and i was running ubuntu on it
[Eee Pad Transformer General] blestsol:
So it's b70 and lower that can and not b70 and higher that can't?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrevankyle:
Some b70's can some b70's can't so it is generally said that b70's are incompatible just so that people with b70 sbk2's dont complain about things saying that something is compatable with b70 and lower

makes things easier on the devs
[Eee Pad Transformer General] brando56894:
That makes more sense. Your OP made it sound like you specifically bought it just to run Ubuntu and didn't care about Android.

So I sent a email to Phandroid, TalkAndroid and Droid-Life today asking them to run a story about the many issues because I feel its being swept under the rug due to CES and everything and was hoping ASUS would actually asknowledge the issue if a major site posted it.

I got a response from TalkAndroid just now asking for links to the issues, so lets hope they run the story and ASUS actually has to listen.

For the record, I understand it's a issue that isn't effecting EVERYONE, but it is affect SOME PEOPLE and needs to be addressed. And i'm not only talking about the Wifi/GPS issue, I'm talking about the many people who are stuck with a tablet that reboots every 5 minutes.

THIS.

The problem is this forum is filled with garbage posts complaining about some issues that are either inherent to the design or that are tough to quantify (wifi, gps, etc.), and it's hard to distinguish this from real, objectively identifiable issues ICS update issues, including:

1) a small subset of users no longer can use their mobile device to create a wifi hotspot that the Transformer Prime can recognize (ad-hoc/infrastructure mode compatibility issues)

2) some number of users simply cannot update because their Transformer Prime, from the factory, does not have a valid serial number.

Does it reset to ICS or to HC?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Doktaphex:
If it's fully installed ICS then a factory reset will not take it back to HC. If that is happening with your friend's Prime then that is most peculiar.

A few people have had success with draining the battery completely waiting for an hour or so and then rebooting with the charger. It was posted elsewhere on the forum that this method has helped several people who have this constant bootloop issue.

Worth a try for sure.
