While traveling I was using the gps (coPilot) with my bluetooth on, (just for calls) and was getting low on battery!

So... Naturally I plugged in the charger! Guess what! Battery drained nonetheless!

Has anyone else seen this? I have the screen brightness to the lowest setting... But to no avail!

I apologize if it's been covered before, but just looking to see if anyone else had this issue and any suggestions on making that battery not run down while plugged in!

Thanks everyone! Oh, and yes I have a second battery for these occasions!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
Yes. covered before and many people see this. May be worth tying a 1amp or higher charger.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] programatix:
Also, if the phone gets too hot, it will stop charging.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nbass668:
I have the same thing... Its just don't charge however it maintain the battery at whatever level it was.. This is simply fixed by getting a higher amp charger

Are any of you guys with problems using the Samsung Cardock , or

are those chargers "random" chargers of other phones ?

my official samsung charger that came with it has decided to pack in after a month of use, it no longer charges at the rate it used to of about 24% an hour and im lucky to get about 5% an hour now. I've tried my old hd2 charger (same 5v 1a output) and it charges without any issues

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jacksonliam:
I got a 1A car charger with my mount which works ok (cheapo chinese says 1A). I think any car charger with a USB slot which says 'Ipad' would work better, IIRC the ipad needs ~2.2A so it would have plenty of juice.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tdodd:
I've got various car chargers, one at 850mA, one at 1A and one at 2.1A. None of them charge the Note while using sat nav (Copilot) even using night mode (dark backgrounds to maps) and dimming the backlight in between junctions. I've tried the USB lead that came with the Note and a lead from another phone. No improvement.

The phone shows Charging AC because I have the central pins shorted on the chargers, but even that is not enough. I'm thinking the only solution is to buy a proper Samsung charger, which might have some other trick up its sleeve for getting the Note to draw sufficient current.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] exceluk1:
I have just switched from using co pilot to another satnav app and the phone now charges faster. I knew co pilot was juice hungry. ...

Are you using a web based mail service like Hotmail or Gmail? They're pretty straight forward. Others you will have to manually input settings.

Completely dependent on what email service you're trying to connect to and how.

Most services have easy tutorials or FAQ's with info on what specific settings you need to put in (server, certificates, etc.).

Hi guys,

I think I have been an xda user long enough..so I though, why dont I try my hand in developing and be more of a giver than a taker in this great community.

Problem is, I dont know where to start. So if you dev guys could give me an effective learning path(study this first, then this, then this)..I would be most greatful!

Im not a developer by training(an accountant, of all things!!), however, I did get into IT audit so I know a little bit about the different flavors of unix..and I love coding(we use some scripting software in the trade, i know i know, its different) and i am never happier than trying to figure out how to make things work using code..

I know some of you may laugh at me, but I really am interested in this.

Thanks!

There's a great site here with lots of useful info ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saunderez:
If your endgame is to develop for Android it might be best for you to jump in the deep end and start learning Java immediately. Don't worry about learning it by developing Android applications, just focus on developing on PC and you will have a much easier time. Once you've picked up the basics of Object Orientated programming then it's time to take a look at the Android APIs and go through some tutorials so you can see how the apps come together.

At the end of the day it's going to be a big job for you because you have very little experience. Unfortunately theres no real easy way out so you just have to put in the hours.

Yep!! Sleepless nights! Just like a real dev..hehehe... I do know some languages like vb..python..javascript..but that was just me muckin around..nothin serious :) also..already had the netbeans ide setup...and got my java hello world cherry popped..hahaha..so lame
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyonins:
Thanks man!!! Looks good!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyonins:
Yes..that is my endgame..but i was hoping you guys could point me to some android specific stuff..like how kernerls work..etc..basically i want to know the environment first...using google doesnt really yield in depth stuff :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
Android is basically Linux with a custom UI.

If you want to know how kernels work (and you really shouldn't(!) if your goal is to make apps, as that's REALLY in-depth lowlevel stuff) just check out how Linux works - there's a million million articles on the net about the internals of Linux.

Android specific app development stuff, incl. tutorials and samples are here:

Maybe you just wanna setup the SDK and try to get the "Hello World" working, continue from there.

[Nook Touch General] feliksas.laukys:
Good evening All,

So, I recently bought a Nook Simple Touch from a 3rd party retailer so that I could purchase it from Canada. The main selling point for me was that it was rootable.

Well, having used it for a few weeks, I must say, I'm disappointed. It's ridiculous that I can't buy *any* legit books from Barnes and Nobles, *including* free books which are available elsewhere; I understand restrictions on certain items, but Classic, free books, really?

Second, the perks of having a rooted device are limited at the moment. I find the process still somewhat buggy, and many of the Marketplace apps I've downloaded, most notably the Kindle app, either don't work or crash on launch.

Third, if one has problems with the device, the exchange process is significantly more inconvenient than for a US citizen. In my case, I need to go through the 3rd party re-saler and must pay a 20% restocking fee. I'm already having battery issues, and trying to deal with B&N directly has not been pleasant, either--I've called for days now, get told that they're experiencing an unusual number of calls, and instead of being put onto hold, I get hung up on.

For these reasons--that I can't even download legit books, that the rooting process gives me little benefit, and that tech support seems nearly impossible, I recommend against this item. I am going to return it and get either a Kindle or Kobo.

Has anyone else had any experiences with buying an Nook outside of the US? I'd be curious to hear your opinions.

Cheers,

-Feliks
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
Why do you feel restricted to B&N to get classics and free books? One of the reasons to root is escape the B&N walled garden. You can freely download content off of other web sites (e.g. Project Gutenberg), either directly to your device, possibly in a 3rd party reader app, or to a computer for sideloading. Fire up Calibre on your desktop and set up subscriptions to push daily news to your NOOK. Buy from (and support) DRM-free publishers that do care about those north of the border. You are FREE, man!

The Kindle app is working well for me. Of course, you have to have reasonable expectations for this device. It is running Android 2.1 Eclair, so a lot of apps simply won't run. Others won't display properly, or are dependent on multitouch. Obviously, it's not a gaming platform, but for text-centric apps, you may be able to find suitable replacements. What specific types of apps are you after?

Well, you knew that going in, right? That's always the risk of doing business like that.

I certainly hope you've asked for help here at XDA. B&N support is notorious for being staffed by poorly trained spider monkeys (no slight to primates intended). Again, you are FREE of B&N.

If you'd care to elaborate, many here might be able to help you pinpoint your battery issues. I've spent a lot of time tuning battery usage and will gladly help if I can. You should expect to see reduced battery life if you use any of the following:

Live wallpapers

Active widgets

Apps that poll in the background

Battery will still be good compared to many devices, but not as good as a stock NST. With a bit of adjustment, I see about 2% drop over a 4-6 hour period when idle with wifi off, 2% per hour when idle with wifi on, and 4-8% when in actively using networked apps.

Reading on the B&N forums, I'm understanding that you can physically buy from Canada, but you must have a credit card with a US address. Of course, having family on either side of the border helps here. We've got family in the TO area. I believe getting someone to buy you a gift card will work as well.

That said, if you just want a reader and another device supports you better in your locale, by all means, go for it!
[Nook Touch General] feliksas.laukys:
Can't argue with that--I love Calibre. However, being away from my computer in an airport, I was willing to buy, and could not--and while Kindle would load, I could not buy, from B&N, I obviously could not buy, and the browser along with Opera would either crash or not load at all. In those cases, I would like the ability to buy, or buy/download from somewhere else. I don't want to be with my laptop all the time.

I just reformatted and re-rooted--have to wait for Marketplace to start working and I'll try again. I hope it does work, that would make me think twice about returning.

Can't argue with this one ;p

Just recently posted about my issue - the battery works well, as far as I can tell, but the battery status does not refresh. Unfortunately, I rooted before I backed up. Having realized this, I reset using the script found here (bypassing the 8 reboots), and then did a wipe and de-authorize, and then created "as vanilla as I can get" backup. However, while I remember that the battery status worked fine when I first got the device, I'm uncertain if it was screwed up right after rooting, or if I did something later on to make it so. All I know now is that, despite restoring, wiping, and restoring from image, my battery status remains incorrect.

Any suggestions?

Cheers!

-Feliks
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
Ooh, didn't realize you were the "battery gauge" guy. Are you sure they didn't ship you a refurb, or was it just a "rebuying" service? I'll have to start smuggling NOOKs up next time I drive to TO. :)

Some of the 3rd part reader apps will allow you to directly download free epubs from within the app. I believe Aldiko will. Sorry, but I don't have any handy to check for sure.

Or you could just go overboard like I did and load an SD card up with 500+ odd titles to browse through. :)
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
There's two versions of Opera. There's Opera Mobile, which is the better of the two, but doesn't work for everyone. Then there's Opera Mini, which has the web pages compressed by Opera's servers, which makes it slow, but it will probably work of Mobile doesn't. If you're using Mini but it doesn't work, try Mobile. I don't know why, but the Nook seems to play favorites.
[Nook Touch General] Tired_:
That's what did it for me as well. I actually bought mine instore in the US, but I brought it home to Canada to use.

It seems like you need to manage your expectations. Did you do any research on here or other sites about the capabilities of the NST outside of the US? I knew going in that buying books on the device would be difficult, so I planned ahead and made sure I had other options (Calibre, as others have mentioned). B&N doesn't do business in my country, and I have to live with their decision, as stupid as they are for making it and leaving our funny-looking money on the table.

Again, with the managing of expectations. It's an e-reader, not a tablet. It has significant hardware differences from either a phone or a tablet, and those differences will affect what apps will run and how useful they will be. It also does not have all the software components that Android apps expect, which also affects how apps will run. Having said all of this, there's still a ton of useful, working apps for NST. My intent, when I purchased the NST, was to have an e-reader with an E-ink screen, that could also check email. As it is, NST fulfills that requirement perfectly, beyond my wildest dreams. In addition to that functionality, I discovered several other things it's good at (the best dang SSH client I ever used, a better SimpleNote client than the original, a surprisingly good InstaPaper client, etc.). For me, the perks of rooting have been absolutely massive.

This part confuses me. B&N have explicitly chosen not to do business here. What makes you think they would make an exception just for you? Your expectations seem very high.

These devices will likely be a better fit for you...they don't have apps at all, so all of them won't work, rather than just some, and you'll likely have an easier time getting service (although, being unable to root them, you'll likely not have any battery troubles, since battery drain increase after rooting NST is a well known concern).

Not to put too fine a point on it, but it seems that more pre-purchase research and planning (you didn't have time to put a few books on your Nook before you left for the airport?) and some more reasonable expectations would serve you better in the future.
[Nook Touch General] brendan10211:
This also seems to have something to do with whatever was installed upon root. From what I have read on the forums, some rooting methods install Opera Mobile upon root so the user does not have to go install it manually. It then fails to work.
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
Oh wait, that's MONEY?

Now all the drink machine vendors are hoping people will use Canadian quarters, what with the exchange rate.

When did they start adding ferrous material to your coins? I was surprised when some newer coins jumped up at my magnet.

I'm after a mail client that can deal with MS Exchange. MailDroid is working pretty well, but I'm curious what else works well.

I'm being careful with loading up software that drains battery, and I'm quite pleased with battery life on mine, even after rooting. With wifi off, I lose 2% every 4-6 hours on standby. With wifi on, it's 2% per hour. With wifi on and in use, 4-6% per hour.

I never expected to meet B&N's "2 months" hype target. At this rate, 2-4 weeks between charges is more likely, though it seems to be getting better the more I use it. I'm actually very pleased with my rooted NST's battery life, though I can't really say whether I'm seeing "good" or "bad" life. It certainly out-lasts every gizmo I've owned before now!
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
If you look closely, you'll notice an asterisk stating that you'll only reach that if you read for 30 minute a day, and my guess is that you also would have to turn it off between readings. xD
[Nook Touch General] feliksas.laukys:
Cheers for the quick reply! As long as my battery gets sorted out, I'll keep it!

-F...
[Nook Touch General] feliksas.laukys:
Just got off the phone with B&N--exchange or any sort of replacement is impossible in Canada. Anything goes wrong, have to go to the states to get it fixed. Too much of a liability for me--I'll take not being able to buy any legitimate books etc, but to not be able to get *any* service? No way.

Thanks for all the help, All,

-F...
[Nook Touch General] feliksas.laukys:
Ohh! The Saga continues!

The only supplier in Canada for the Nook will replace it for me, no trouble, no problems. I can happily continue rooting after all, and he'll take care of any warranty and repairs!

Ok, next project then: mods, admins -- can we start a documentation project, get a proper guide up here? I'd be happy to contribute.

Cheers,

-F
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
Ah, good news. Who's the supplier?
[Nook Touch General] feliksas.laukys:
This guy:

I happened to be in Vancouver for a wedding a few weeks ago when I found out about him. Went to his house, picked up a Nook. Super friendly and helpful, and again, as far as I know, only guy in Canada selling the Nook.

[Nook Touch General] Dagon.Alex:
Don`t understand what are most of the complains about. It is officially stated by Barnes&Noble that that the device is supported only in the US.

Have bought my Nook with my credit card, also have no problems with buying nook-books from BN. And I`m from Ukraine which is much closer to "third world" then Canada or elsewhere.
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
Is that a US credit card?
[Nook Touch General] Dagon.Alex:
Visa Classic issued in Ukraine. Have it connected to PayPal account, maybe this is the reason.
[Nook Touch General] gcpicu:
I have been able to order both free and pay titles from the B&N store for my Nook Simple Touch by registering my Canadian-issued Mastercard. You just need to set the billing address to a valid US address. Their systems don't seem to check the actual billing address on file with the CC company. Or if they do, they just don't care ;-)
[Nook Touch General] dhkr234:
Not true. The ONLY thing you can't do from canada is buy the nst from the b&n website. You can download all free content without any credit card, and you can buy priced books, even with a canadian card with a canadian billing address.

Expecting applications demanding a COLOR LCD to work 100% on an eink device is inappropriate.

You bought it under the table and expect normal warranty process? Further, your "battery issue" is due to root. You have processes running in the background preventing it from sleeping, and draining your battery. Go into market and set it to NEVER NOTIFY YOU OF UPDATES. That will take care of MOST of it.

As a Canadian with a NST, 4 actually, I can't agree with ANYthing you've stated. You are 100% incorrect on all accounts.
[Nook Touch General] Googie2149:
You need a card punched into the Nook to 'purchase' free books from B&N.
