Tried Root Explorer many times, using different sound files, renaming them, putting them in different folders, basically whatever could work, and nothing did. Which is why I'm trying the ADB method.

Boot sound isn't THAT important to me, but I like the challenge of trying to get it to work.

I should try on this on my CM9 HP Touchpad. Will post the results.

Dropbox is testing a beta of their auto-upload of photos and videos feature. For each 500MB of upload you get an additional 500MB of free space up to 4.5GB. See link below for details.

Do you know if you can keep this extra space for free, long-term? I can't say it's better, but I already have 50 GB on Box.net, so I'm wondering if it's worth the trouble.
[Nook Color General] sjmoreno:
Sounds like you're covered.

I on the other hand use Dropbox for a lot of stuff even though I have an "unlimited" Amazon cloud drive account (from work). To answer your question about if you get to keep the space after the beta-test; I believe you do according to what I've read on their forum and on sites like Gizmodo.

I had to say a sad goodbye to my HD2 WP7 to make way for my new Galaxy Note.

Personally, I prefer the WP7 OS to Android, and it would be a dream come true if it were ever available on a Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisaw:
The problem here is that with a Linux-based operating system port all of the components are open source and hackable in order to get them to work on specific devices. With a Microsoft operating system this is *not* the case since MS don't open source any of their components and thus it would be damn near impossible to get this to work on a device it wasn't intended for.

The only exception here would be if there was some kind of emulator of another device which it *was* designed to work on developed for Android but I really can't see that happening since I just don't think it has the same following as Android and thus there wouldn't be much of a market for it.

TL;DR version: No.

The radio is not working on the Exhibit II with stock SGW (GT-I8150) rom and original samsung radio app.

While the software does run, and it detects the headphone it finds no signal, so the radio seems to be absent from the board.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkNiGHTS0:
This is a stock, unrooted Nook Color I bought on Craigslist. I bought it from somebody by calling the number, not emailing them and I no longer have their number. Apparently the only way I can register the device is for the person who registered it to call Barnes and Noble, add a credit card to the account, and say they want it deregistered. I have no way of contacting the person, am I out of luck? I sold it on eBay to someone without knowing this would happen and I really don't want them to have to return it. I read around a bit but found no solution short of rooting it which they can't do themselves.

Thanks, Cory
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjmoreno:
I had a very similar experience but luckily I still had the previous owner's email address and she was kind enough to call the B&N 800 number to deregister it for me.

With that said, I've read somewhere there was some magical "factory reset" that could deregister the device but I can't remember where.

You say the current owner who you sold it to can't root it. Why? If the answer is "because they're not very technical..." then perhaps you could assist them (I don't know how invested you are in helping them) in the rooting process?

I have several 2GB microSD cards that are bootable that have ClockworkMod Recovery on them with the last stable CyanogenMod 7.1 and Google Apps files on them ready to flash. Even if somebody wasn't very technical I can't imagine it would be very hard to help them if they had one of these cards or another one you or someone else could make and send to them?

Anyway, PM me if you want one of my pre-made cards. I'm only asking for $8/each (only with Paypal). I also have a 8GB card I'll let go for $12 if that's more attractive.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkNiGHTS0:
The person doesn't want it rooted, I asked. She got offended when I asked...

EDIT: I explained it more to her and she seemed to understand. With your MicroSD card, is it just putting in the SD card to get it to boot into Android? Thanks.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ponyboy82:
That stinks. I guess try to be honest with the buyer. I guess there are some benefits to the stock ROM like using it for children's books, etc., so maybe they have a valid reason. The word "root" might just be scary too.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjmoreno:
It's not "that easy" :p

You put in the card and it boots into ClockworkMod. The user then would have to select the update file to install and then when it's finished pop the sd card out and then reboot it. Then after it boots (or while the boot animation is playing) they would pop the card back in. Then after the NC is finished loading they would (if they don't want it to always boot off of the card) rename the 4 boot files on the card (like adding .bak on the end of each). You may not have to rename all 4 files but I do just for giggles. I do this instead of deleting them so if I need to boot off the card then I just have to rename them back and remove the .bak from each.

mlo --> mlo.bak

u-boot.bin --> u-boot.bin.bak

uImage --> uImage.bak

uRamdisk --> uRamdisk.bak

There is an auto-install image in the Development forum but I liked having more control. So I made these cards with ClockworkMod and included the last stable CM 7.1 along with the last Google Apps and the Amazon App Store apk just for good measure.

If you want to take a crack at creating a auto-install sd card the instructions in the Dev forum are pretty easy to follow.

Hello again!

I received my phone today, with it's sim slot working.

Only problem I have now, is that it's constantly running safe-mode, and that I cannot get out of it, since the HBOOT thingy, won't respond to my actions. Which means I can't turn it off from my phone.

Does anyone know if there's a possible way, to turn Safe-Mode off, in any kind of way, without having to go to the HBOOT section? From the phone, or the computer, anything!

open up the dialer, tap the options key, settings, in Call Settings go down to Settings, Voicemail settings, Voicemail number... add your telephone number including area code.

I cant remember how to get to the Call Settings from the main Settings screen...

haven't been able to bypass the password entry either.

The notification LED was a great improvement to the Galaxy Nexus over the Nexus S, however, the default settings in Android 4.0 blink the light very, very slowly, so slowly in fact that I often don't notice I have a message waiting even though the LED is blinking.

Is there any way to force the LED to blink faster? At about the rate that HTC notification LEDs blink?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkl1993:
Download Light Flow Lite, it is a Free app that lets you customize:

SMS, G-mail, E-mail, Charging, and more.

You can choose intervals of: very slow, slow, normal, fast, very fast. And how long you want it to blink.

Great app, and used it since Day 1.

Light flow is good, but it is a battery destroyer. Upwards of a hundred alarms and wakelocks over a 3 hour sleep period, and this is without receiving any notifications!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ibr4him:
exactly, and the roms that have it built-in don't drain as much battery. thats why I need a better solution than lightflow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dextroz:
Here's more on LightFlow:

If you use LED color cycling it will destroy your battery because LightFLow needs to keep a thread alive.

<rant>

You can thank some stupid designer and/or use-case engineer at Google who clearly either doesn't use an android phone or is just plain clueless.

</rant>

The problem is that the phone never really goes into deep sleep when you are using color cycling because the wake-lock by a thread which needs to continuously change the colors keeps running and kills your battery.

Ideally, the way the notification module should have been designed is that an app should be able to specify a sequence and a blink rate to the LED chip, which should then handle LED lighting, independent of any future CPU intervention/dependence for minimal battery hit.

But since this is not the case: I have LightFlow setup with 'show latest/last color' on battery and fast cycling on charging only. This is a good balance with literally no perceptible impact to battery life. If you don't mind a little more battery drain then set priority-based notification colors on battery.

So I'm searching around to see what I can do to fix this issue and get my device back up and running. And it looks like its going to be the FXZ.

Is a FXZ appropriate for this situation( I asked this because all of the other threads were for more complicated occasions than mine)? Or are there other options I can try before diving into it?

Thanks for any help....
[Motorola Atrix 2] JRW 28:
If after several tries you still can't get past the Motorola boot screen then yes you need to flash the FXZ.
[Motorola Atrix 2] farshad525hou:
If after several attempts, its a good idea the to flash the fix. Just make sure you have a good charge before you do so, and never unplug it while its flashing.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MACKSnare519:
Ok, I just followed the directions on the stickied thread on how to do the FXZ. How do I know when its done? Because it seems like it just stopped without saying anything.

ETA: After pressing the power button, at the top of my phone screen it says (Flash Failure).
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
It'll say "completed" or something when its done and your phone will reboot, show a loading screen, and then tell you to set up your Google account. If you're using RSD Lite then it will give you progress (ie 7/20) in the list of phones at the bottom. It will take maybe 5-7 minutes in all.
