I'm a noob too, but I've been reading this site for the past 24 hours trying to fix-up my Nook Tablet. As for Android Market, even though you rooted your NT the Market still recognizes your device as a NT and won't let you download apps that apparently won't work with the default Nook launcher. If you do some searching sometimes you can find a .APK file you can download using your browser and then install the package for an app you like. Just be careful about where you download from to avoid any malware.

As for your "n" button, it sounds like Homecatcher isn't setup right. Uninstall Homecatcher and reinstall it to see if you can get it to work. Check this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1356206

Hi -

I'm not sure what functionality you're seeking. This is what I did with my year old NC: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1448186

It's fabulous. No brainer, goof-proof (if you follow the well written instructions down the line). One issue I have is trying to get the remaining space on the SD card I used to show and therefore allow content. But that's not the mod's fault. I have another post pending an answer to that on the Q&A forum here.

I can recommend this set of dual boot mods to you without reservation. For me, it was almost "too easy"...

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driftinganomaly:
Thanks for your time and help. I have tried to research this before posting.

the problem:

My girlfriend's HTC Glacier has the bad emmc chip. It started with the random restarts earlier this week. It has been getting more and more sluggish over time. On the way home today, it lost all network connectivity, even after a restart, then pulling battery, sim, and sd, replacing then restarting.

What has been done to the phone so far:

It was unstable several months ago at which time I permarooted it, unlocked it, and flashed the rooted gingerbread update from the permaroot post here on xda. ( we didn't try to rdma it because it was an ebay purchase and already past manufacturer warranty) I did not flash the engineering bootloader (wish I had and that will probably be one of my first steps now). It has cwm flashed and a backup of the rom. It is turned off now while deciding how to proceed. Other than that, It has had no custom roms flashed or anything else of the sort.

What I am hoping is possible:

I have a Samsung 16GB class 10 (rated up to 23 MB/s read and 21 MB/s write). I am wondering if it is possible to create a bootable sd and run cm7 (for example) like the nook color.

Is this possible? Would it require a custom kernel to bypass the emmc and use the sd card as the rom instead?

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. I am hoping to help my girlfriend nurse this phone to the end of her contract. Is it worth the effort or is it a lost cause?

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driftinganomaly:
Do you think that multibooting would be a workaround for the failing emmc? I will be trying it out.

I am going to follow saranhai's guide and try to stabilize the phone as much as possible first.

I had read that flashing the engineering bootloader is important, would you say that that should be my priority?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saranhai:
i don't think any software related thing can be a workaround for the failed eMMC chip...

once the chip is dead, it's dead. you can't write anything to it. you can't flash ROMs, you can't wipe anything, you can't even boot the device up. if the bootloader is showing Fail-PU when you're trying to restore back, then sorry friend, but it's gone...

as we see it now, nothing besides replacing the hardware itself will fix it. :(

yes, having the Engineering bootloader is a definite must, that's how you flash radios and such.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driftinganomaly:
As an update, amidst nonstop FC's, I got the engineering bootloader pushed to the phone and installed.

I wiped the cache and dalvic then restored to a cwm recovery. It seems stable so far, but only time will tell.

As soon as I get a chance, I will be installing boot manager and setting it up to boot from the sd. I am glad to get the phone somewhat stable before trying though. I hope that it will take the strain off the emmc and let us keep it going through the end of contract.

Thank you for your help!

So I ran into a little problem with my Nexus S (Model i9020a, Koodo network in Canada). I originally was rooted with vanilla firmware 2.3.4 and ever since ICS was released I thought I should unroot and get the OTA update. Only problem is that I unrooted it and updated it using a online i9020a 2.3.6 rom. It now says that my Carrier Info is now ATT on Fastboot Mode and when I turn on my Nexus S, I can't search for/connect to any networks. The updating process wiped my SD card so I don't appear to have any backups.

Is there anything you guys can do to help me out it would be greatly appreciated :)? If this is posted in the wrong area I'll gladly post it on the right one.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjankis630:
Everyone, this may sound dumb but I just shot some video with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus and now I want to transfer it over to my desktop. but when I connect my phone I cannot find where the movies are stored.

Well I finally figured out where they are stored and although I am embarrassed, I am somewhat flummoxed as to why they decided that movies taken by your camera go to the folder:

Computer\Galaxy Nexus\Internal Storage\DCIM\Camera

It took me about 15 min to find that sucker.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] littleasian:
iirc thats how where all movies on stored on most point and shoot cameras. at least thats where it is on my canon, can't speak for other brands. the movies folder in /sdcard is where i think people are supposed to put their own movies that they've transferred over from their computer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] silverramsrt:
If you're new to digital cameras, I could see how that doesn't make sense.

I've known that the DCIM folder contains the pictures and videos I've taken, but your question got me thinking: What does DCIM stand for.

So I learned this from wikipedia: Digital Camera IMages.

Now I'm embarrassed...:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sjankis630:
I am not new to digital cameras.i know what that folder is, i am just not used to it being 2 levels down. It usually resides right on top when i plug in my point and shoot cameras.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] littleasian:
hrmm..it shouldn't be 2 levels down. if you plug in your nexus it should mount /sdcard automatically and you should see a folder that says DCIM. open that up and there are your photos/videos.

using MTP your nexus shouldn't be mounting as /
[G2 and Desire Z General] suprakarma:
I totally agree with you, I've been tempted to move to an lte network but its all a money sucking strategy, yeah you get awesome speeds that make you drull but at the end you'll drain all that data package in what? 2 weeks if not less, since some people really download and abuse the network on their device, I rather have a steady HSDPA+ than a money/data sucking network
[G2 and Desire Z General] sparksco:
Right now I'm on a wimax 4G network but sprint is going to switch to LTE soon like Verizon has and I heard the 4G is supposed to improve a lot more and cover a wider range on LTE. I'm hoping my next device will be LTE based so I can get good stong 4G coverage no matter where I go :P

I think LTE is only for cdma phones and HSPA is for GSM phones. I could be wrong but both Verizon and Sprint are cdma. I've used HSPA before and it's ok but nothing to really brag about. I can't really compare it to LTE because I have not owned a device that supports it yet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sino8r:
Nah, LTE is sim based (gsm) just like the rest. You're thinking of wcdma which is different (aka UMTS and up) but still gsm tech. CDMA/EvDo/WiMAX is a dead technology soon enough.

I agree, tmobile should just stick with HSPA+ until LTE tech is improved. They can roll it out slowly and is an easier upgrade (smaller leap than 2G to 3G) for them. It's just a costly one. I heard that they are selling their towers and leasing them back for a short term cash solution. Not sure if it's to pay off some impending debt aquired by DT or to pay for LTE upgrades for tmousa...
[G2 and Desire Z General] mayurolla:
My suggestion is stick with HSPA+ (3.9G), skip LTE (3.9G), and go straight for LTE-Advanced (Actual 4G). Both HSPA+ and LTE are not technically 4G, they are just marketed as such. LTE is a much better network technology than HSPA+, but it's not all there yet. LTE is much more efficient in using the frequency spectrum. Also you can only do data on LTE, no voice at the moment. Not sure about LTE-Advanced features but I would assume you can do VoLTE-Advanced just how Verizon is planning VoLTE.
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
I will agree AND disagree with you. LTE is not directly advantageous to the end user but its benefits are passed down through the operators which will take a few years to become apparent. Its more a technical upgrade with the operators back end network and towers. I'm pretty sure we had the same thoughts when UMTS and HSPA started deployment.

LTE is a shift into a different mobile telephony architecture. LTE will be completely packet switched so in the long run, the infrastructure and tower implementation will be simpler. Using different frequencies and radio modulation, it probably wont be as simple as put an LTE base on an existing tower so it going to take a while to sort out coverage. The end users advantage comes from the more efficient spectrum use increasing capacity with better handling of devices when under heavy load. Frequency chunks are variable so operators can tweak speed / capacity depending on location or cell size. Radios will eventually mature with battery life becoming better with every generation. I have no experience with LTE so am not sure how calls / data is handled or battery life.

HSPA is a mature technology with plenty of real world experience, radio's and towers that have been tweaked over years for speed, latency and battery life. It is also relatively cheap to deploy as the back end connections already exist and the tower kit is "mass produced" shall we say. However, HSPA is quite inflexible requiring 5Mhz frequency chunks which may limit capacity in urban areas. Battery life on HSPA is achieved mainly by cheating, handsets sit idle at UMTS (3G) until data is transferred and often calls are dropped to 2G when possible.

Being from the UK, its probably going to be 2014 / 2015 until we see LTE as they are still "conducting trials" and the licences are scheduled for 2013 i think.

Please feel free to correct me or add to this, I just wanted to add my opinion to the mix.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
Verizon is cdma, so how is lte gsm only??
[G2 and Desire Z General] mayurolla:
Verizon LTE phones also have CDMA chips in them. They use LTE for "4G" data and CDMA for voice and 3G data. They will be a GSM carrier once they drop 3G support and switch fully to LTE.
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
Interesting - you have a good point here, especially when comparing the maturity of the two types of networks. From what I've been reading here and everywhere else, "real" LTE is clearly the more advanced tech but just needs time to develop and in the long long run will be better. Hm.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ChpStcksRlz:
No wonder my phone hasn't been staying on full HSDPA (or HSPA+) when it's on idle and only goes on HSDPA ONLY when I'm using it and idles at UMTS when I'm not. I was wondering about that lol. Oh well knowing how HSDPA and HSPA+ is, it's probably a lot easier to transfer from HSDPA to UMTS to EDGE to GPRS than switching from LTE to 3G and 2G connection types.
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
I skimmed thru and someone already said it:

LTE is not "Real 4G". As of right now, a tech spec for 4G does not exist.

From the Wiki article:

However in December 2010, the ITU recognized that current versions of LTE, WiMax and other evolved 3G technologies that do not fulfill "IMT-Advanced" requirements could nevertheless be considered "4G", provided they represent forerunners to IMT-Advanced and "a substantial level of improvement in performance and capabilities with respect to the initial third generation systems now deployed.

in othewords, it's akin to saying, "i'll let you call it 4G as long as you promise to make your technology reach the original specifications. Pinky swear k?"

Really, there are saying "you can call it 4G as long as its better than 3G".
