[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Denmmurray:
I've actually found that not plugging in the nook to your computer and then manually going in and adding a piece of hardware via the wizard tends to work. There should be an option to add an "Android Phone" to your computer. Then you just go through the process of selecting the drivers in c:\ntroot or whatever the file is. It should show up as Android Phone --> ADB device. Then you have to plug in the nook and update the driver for the Android phone and select the drivers in c:\ntroot. After you updated the drivers it should show up as Android Composite ADB Device, I believe.

Also, totally get rid of all the USB Mass Storage and Nook Devices w/ USBDev.

Try that and see if it works. I'm not really sure what I did to get the drivers to work on XP...at that point I was so frustrated that I as just doing things and not paying attention but I'm pretty sure that's how I did it.

Claudiaa,

I believe i had the same problem that you are having. When your nook is plugged in go to your "usb mass storage device" drivers (i believe. It's the driver inherited by the drivers labeled "nook tablet"). Uninstall ALL OF THEM, unplug your nook, and reboot your computer. Log back in to the window showing the drivers for your computer, and an un-driver-ed device labeled as nook tablet and should show up with a little yellow /!\ in front of it. Right click on it and follow the driver installation instructions.

Hope it helps

Cheers!

I just tried all your suggestions. Windows 7 puts it's own drivers in no matter what I do.

Will have to find a ratty old computer that isn't so arrogant and rude!

Hi Claudiaa

What I did was use USBDeview to remove all references to USB Mass Storage Device. It seemed a bit extreme at the time but I was at my wits end and there were far fewer tools in Dec 2011. As I recall is took several attempts to pull it off.

Plop plop fizz fizz oh what a relief it was!:)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bladewriter:
I'm on Windows XP and the only thing that worked for me was to go into device manager and delete any USB device shown that had a hardware id containing 0x2080 (or something like it -- the Nook's id). With Nook tablet attached I went through all the instances of USB mass storage or USB root hub and deleted anything Nookish

Device Manager > right click on, eg, USB root hub > properties > details > pull down menu Hardware IDs > uninstall any device with 0x2080

Then I reinstalled the drivers from

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19513995&postcount=1

And I was able to get ADB access. Not sure if this is similar for Win 7 - there should be a way to stop automatic driver install and direct the installer to your own INF file. Good luck.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] captkrunch:
.Claudia

Windows 7 after you get rid of all usb mass storage devices run diskpart in run window when you get the prompt enter disable automount after that scrub automount then exit. Check syntax first, it might be automount disable automount scrub. This will stop the automatic instalstion and drive letter assignment. Restart system. When the system is completley restarted and idle pluginnook with usb debug etc enabled make sure you are already in device manager on your laptop. As soon as see book come up right click on it and update driver using your drivers. My W7 would call it an android phone in device manager but it works. You may have to do this several times before you get the drivers to change. Hang in there you can do it. SORRY for spelling fat fingers and first reply
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] claudiaa:
Thanks for all the suggestions, tomorrow I'm going to drag out my old XP and see if it will treat me better. It never met a Nook so it won't be so quick to mess it up.

If that fails, I'll be do what you said.

I went back and checked syntax

Diskpart automount disable. Wait responce then

Automount scrub. Wait for responce then

Exit. You will be taken back to W7 restart w7 and proceed

All the best

Claudiaa I read you didn't have SDK have you installed it yet?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] :
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention to keep automount in the NT hidden settings turned *OFF* when you go through the process I explained. Also, I was using windows 7 when I went through the process of scrubbing the drivers, so it should work.

Good luck! :)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] claudiaa:
No. Should I?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lavero.burgos:
dont, ok i think i found the solution rebooting to test, if you want to try it here is it is:

NOTE: after install the drivers succesfully log off and log back on, go back to gpedit.msc and change those policies back to default: "Not Configured" then log off and on again or reboot your PC, then you are ready for root.. OH WAIT! troubleshoot adb :D and then root.

Edit: just tested worked like a charm!

Edit2: then to make adb work you need to install Java SE Development Kit 6 Update 30. For that you need to know if your PC is x32 or x64 bits. On windows 7: right click computer>> properties>> System type: what you need to know.

that will work for you trust me as the kid had the same problem as you nasty drivers installing over and over again after disable from windows update and changing device installation settings to never install driver software. So by editing those policies posted above by me will work and show windows who's the boss ;):D.

Veronica's gpedit approach is the best way. Unfortunately, Microsoft took out the group policy editor out of windows 7 home premium 64. It's in only the pro version. Hope this isn't your case.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] roustabout:
Before you go to the work of setting up what follows, do take a run at disabling autorun for newly plugged devices - someone suggested disabling automount on the NT itself, and that's a great idea IF you are running 1.4.0 and can install the NT hidden settings app before rooting.

Another option, if you have recent PC hardware and an old Windows XP box, is

- download and install the free VMWare player

- if you have an XP install disk and can, ahem, find a way to get a working license :), just install XP into a newly made virtual machine -or-

- use vmware to boot a copy of your old XP installation from a disk (I had XP available and enough open bays to put the disk into my system.) My memory here is pretty hazy. I have access to the commercial release of VMWare and all the support tools, but I seem to remember that if you are able to put a bootable Win XP harddrive into your system as an ancillary drive and boot win7 normally, you can tell VMWare player to make a new machine that uses that drive as its hard disk in an advanced option, then boot that VM without necessarily making a disk image first. I more often use the converter tool and I think you only get that with the horribly expensive license. But my laptop is a dual boot win/linux box and I did succeed in getting it rigged so that even in Windows, I can use the Linux partition as the drive for a VMware player virtual machine.

- if I'm mistaken and there is a free converter, use it to make an image of XP -- it's helpful not to muck up an otherwise working OS, as I did several times when setting up my laptop :)

My win 7 install has seen, ahem, too many Android devices. I found that using XP as a virtual machine and usb deview is super helpful for being able to run a lot of the tools.

And the VMWare support for USB devices is actually better, in my experience, than is the Win 7 USB stack. And vastly better than the Windows VM USB stuff (I fiddled at one point with the win7 pro virtual XP package, and the USB support was married to the win7 OS. Not a problem with vmware.)

A really big advantage to setting up vmware player is that you can then set up a VM to run Linux on and many of the things you may want to do, like creating disk images from the files folks post here that work most easily by issuing commands along the lines of

dd if=great.disk.image.img of=/your.sdcard BS=1M

suddenly become very easy to do.

Although I think vmware is the bees knees, I also needed to replace my computer over the summer and have one of the 4 core/8 thread i7-2600 chips which makes vmware go lickety split. I find that vmware performance is also pretty good on many of the i5 chips, the i5 2520 in particular, and I have a linux box with an older core 2 cpu (e6550 maybe?) that does OK with vmware player, also.

I have been working on this all morning. (Getting pads on my fingers like a dog) I do have Win7 Pro and I can change all the settings like you said--ONLY TO HAVE IT IGNORE ME and set it up Again. When I go back in; my settings are all the way you told me to set them. Just doesn't use them!

Can a computer be demon possessed?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Land Master:
Good call Roustabout! I was going to recommend this to Claudia as well. Heck with the time she has spent on this to date she could have had 5 VM's up and running. :)

Edit: Claudia, just go the VM route. I know others are really trying to "fix" your issues and at this point it is man (er...Woman) against machine, but I'm sure you just want your Nook finished at this point.

A VM will give you a FRESH start and should be painless once it is up and running.

Edit 2: Roustabouts instructions are a little "advanced". If you have a Win 7 (or XP) installation disk I would recommend you use THAT to create your VM. This will give you the fresh start (new installation) you are looking for.

VirtualBox is another option.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] roustabout:
I agree, I gave the detail of the easier-for-me-because-I-do-this-stuff-for-money-now-and-again version before I went back and edited to suggest: if you have an XP installation disk, just use that.

And if you don't, by the bye, I seem to remember that full disk image you can download for "XP Mode" as part of your Win 7 Pro license can in fact be used as a disk for a VMWare XP machine.

I don't know the details on that at all, though - does anyone here, by any chance?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] claudiaa:
This is something I know nothing about so be nice when I sound like I don't know enough to ask a question. I have an old xp computer (so slow I have to be medicated to sit at it) can I put it's hard drive in my computer to do what you're telling me? If possible talk baby talk.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] roustabout:
Claudia, let's let Veronica take a run before we get to the vmware solution. In no small part because it requires me to remember how I did something one way that I usually do a different way :) and also because I have company who have zero interest in watching me decide to document it the right way, by doing it all the way through myself.

These are the steps just from looking at the new machine wizard in vmware player without actually committing the changes, though:

In essence: register for vmware player (free at vmware.com)

download and install

power off system

fit XP disk into Win 7 box - or, if you have the tools, copy the xp disk to another disk so you can always revert, fit your copy into your box

power on

run vmware player

set up a new VM but don't add a harddisk

(I will install the OS later choice)

Choose Windows, xp pro

accept a vm name

let the vm assign a harddrive, but you'll get rid of that one as you finish

click finish

now, go to "edit settings" on your "ready" VM

remove the harddisk

add a harddisk

In the dialog that comes up, choose "use a physical disk"

select the disk to use (drive0 is almost certainly your main harddrive)

click finish to re-save your config

see if that won't boot up for you.

The problem here is that once it boots it'll be in a new environment; you'll need to reinstall lots of drivers and once you do that, it may never boot on its old hardware again.

I have not tried going back with XP, and it may be OK - my linux that I boot sometimes as a VM, sometimes in physical hardware, does OK at this.

But that is why I recommend, if possible, cloning the disk.

Hey,

I was listening to music on my laptop over bluetooth from my phone, and then my laptop crashed.

After restarting it, the Galaxy Nexus no longer sends audio to my laptop :(

There is no longer the option under bluetooth settings to send the audio. Alternatively, on Windows if I try to 'Listen to audio from your phone', upon hitting the connect button I just get 'Error establishing connection'.

Anyone have any ideas?

Edit - Ok so I found the solution (was quite simple really). Unpair it on the phone, and also go into bluetooth devices on Windows, right click Galaxy Nexus and remove device. Then add it/pair it all again and the audio options should come up again.

I had tried unpairing and repairing before but it didn't work, have to make sure you completely remove the device on Windows.

That's kinda easy to do. Make a ringtone that is short and doesn't repeat. The phone will only play it once, as opposed to playing it in an endless loop. I never figured out exactly what was the difference in the file that would make one file repeat and one not, even though they were the same format, file extension, sampling rate, channels, and bitrate. Stock sounds repeat but i've never been able to make a custom one that repeats, I've just copy pasted in a sound editor with the sound until the ringtone is like 30 seconds long.

Hello, As you all probably know the space for install files, basic settings etc is an issue for the Xperia PLAY; Other, newer phones out there have better space for installing applications, settings and images.

I use my phone for everyday use, along side another (X-Play) for my work life, (I love seeing peoples faces when they realise (If I can paraphrase) "I can haz games Consoole") I use my main phone, which in this instance is from herein "Phone-A" for every purpose from listening to music whilst jogging/at the gym, Texting, calling, "pinging" on various chat programs, editing documents, looking at pictures, surfing the net to Games and even occasionally taking photos.

Phone-B however is used solely used for making phone calls, emails and texting. Which Isn't much of an issue as its solely used for Work. I replaced that dreaded Wildfire when I had the funds, thank god.

My issue is that on Phone-A I'm having "Insufficient space!" messages almost EVERY SINGLE DAY. I've done everything I can bar deleting apps that I Use on a regular basis (Games, Music player etc) heres a list of the applications installed below;

ROOTED, 16GB Card

Homescreen - Nemus Launcher - 2.73Mb

Games -

SIMS 3

BRUCE LEE

CRASH BANDICOOT

BIA2

MODERNCOMBAT2

DRAG RACING

BIA2 FREE HD+ (??)

GT FREE+ HD

BLOOD AND GLORY

R6 HD

BFBC2

ASPHALT 6

NFS HOT PURSUIT

GTA3 10YR HD

ZOMBIEVILLE

MINECRAFT

Music - MIXZING - 8.11Mb

Web - DOLPHIN HD - 11.94Mb

I'm Rooted and not afraid to use it, if you can let me know of some files and applications to remove (Preferably non of the games, apart from GT,ZOMBIEVILLE & BIA) I don't mind doing it.

If you can also give me an alternative to the home screen, music player and webbrowser which are lightweight and yet still have full functionality that would be great! Music is a big part of my life, headphones go everywhere with my (I travel alot) I spend alot of time in the desert (Afg'n, iRagg) so these phones are sturdy and yet still VERY powerful in there capabilities.

I know theres alot of games but Hey, its a gaming phone why not game on it?

I have however removed some pre-installed crap that came on it but now I'm looking to lightweight my kit as I do my full kit when I'm working (I work in Close Protection, so a good phone is essential :cool:)

For the love of God, man... move them ****s to SD!

Also learn basic ADB navigation so you can move more to your SD card with the setInstallLocation 2 command.

Then check out THIS SAFE LIST so you can debloat your phone.

Do you have 2.3.3? If so, ditch that **** for 2.3.4. It's a difference as drastic as having a base of 250MB compared to 2.3.3's 180MB. It saves you a lot of pain in the ass dalvik-cache insanity, and FTF installers are too easy to use to take any BS.

With this checklist knocked out:

• Get FW 2.3.4

• ADB setInstallLocation 2

• Root

• Debloat

I've been able to cram 205 apps on this puny 400MB internal storage phone, and still have 140MB left.

Holy God damn, i'm running 2.3.2 I didnt even check :/

I just downloaded ZEAM which is 325Kb, which I'm happy with. But the above listed files, err Dolphin and Mixzing.. Err that is on Card!

I've DEBLOATED, Rooted but what is this ADB setinstall2? Is it moving apps from Phone to SD, like I can do in SuperManager?

If I update to 2.3.4 will I loose root?
[Xperia Play General] ff7fan4eva:
ADB setinstall2 moves apps to SD automatically when installing i think

You will lose root if you use flashtool to update but OTA (over the air) you wont, even if you do lose root you can get it back easily using superoneclick

If your so worried about space why don't you partition 1gb off the card and use that for apps using Link2SD from the market, that saves phone memory and you'll never have to worry about space error messages again :)
