Why did my nook tablet wake me up at 2am and keep me up until 3?

Last night, a strange alarm started going off at about 2am for no reason. It was an alternating mix of the standard alarm, and another alarm I had never heard before. When I picked up the device it was working fine like nothing was happening. There was no prompt to shut it off either. I turned the volume all the way down, but that just snoozed it apparently because it came back. I turned it off for the night. Any ideas?

On 2/25 I installed using Indirect's Method to a new device, purchased 2/14, nook version 1.4.2. I had previously put the zip for cm7 on the nooks internal storage itself via usb from my pc. Booted cwm from sd, flashed, wiped and reset. Everything worked out fine. Do I need an ota blocker for this btw?

Also,

I love this ROM, but I was unable to figure out how to long press the lcd based back button.

Sometimes you need to long press it for certain menus or game functions. I was trying GTAIII out and discovered I am unable to long press the back button to get into the game menu.

Is this a problem with the rom or just the fact that the android virtual back button doesn't support long press anyway? This snag gets me stuck sometimes

EDIT: I didn't want to sound ungrateful- thanks to everyone who put in hard work making this happen. I realize it was NOT easy. I have some experience with advanced settings and installs on some platforms, but I don't code. I haven't done anything that resembles coding since I wrote my own .bat files for dos 5 15+ years ago. I "can't code my way out of a wet paper bag," so a BIG thanks to you guys who did the hard work.

Yay!! The Youtube app for GB (2.4.4) was updated to allow 720p video!! Finally, jeeesh.

However, seems that there's a problem - I see the new "HD" button, it tries to play, but then throws "There was a problem while playing, Touch to retry" =( Which makes me super-sad, hehe.

Anyway, I guess it's due to the hardware acceleration that our awesome devs are still working on, so hopefully this will get resolved.

Watching Starcraft II casts is 99% reason I got this tablet, lol.

nook tablet sleep

I have had this problem about 5 times over the past 10 days. I haven't been able to recreate it on my own though. I've held power and N to reboot and went about my business. Just thought I'd chime in and let you know are aren't alone. I too could hear the volume changes when pushing the rockers, but had nothing on the screen. This is nothing compared to the constant wifi problems I am having.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
I know it can be recognized ... there is a setting in CM that allows long-pressing the back button to kill the active app. That feature is disabled by default, but could have something to do with why it is not being recognized in the game. Perhaps try enabling (I'm not sure offhand where it is ... check under Applications --> Development I think) and see if that makes a difference (though it could just end up killing your app).
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] sprintrjm:
re

i have like many others the wifi bug after its been sleeping while being charged.

I cannot access my wifi settings or connect to my router.

I have to hard reset and then it takes about 10 -15 power presses to get it to come back.

I have heard that this is a known issue even with the stock nook rom.

I dont have the issue now that i turned off wifi sleep when it is being charged.

No more lockups / force reboots.

On a side note.. Is Fred Durst a psychic? And i quote

Thx kev, I'll give that a shot. Now, I used indirects(I believe) one click CWM flash tool to install CWM. When I try to use ROM manager it asks what I'm using if I try to reboot to recovery from within ROM manager. Nook tablet appears. Select it, then it says there is no official CWM for nook tablet, did you install a different CWM based recovery? Select yes, then it asks what version (2.0 or 3.0.x, I believe). If we used the one click CWM installation, what version is that? I went into CWM manually and on the bottom it says version 5.0.4. I'm thinking I shouldn't do anything from inside ROM manager since this CWM isn't "official", even tho ROM manager was installed with this build... Also, I see how to clear Davlink, how do you clear cache again? Wont that delete all my apps and app data? Thx guys! The nook tablet Dev community rocks!

Getting random restarts out of nowhere. What command do I use to get a log file? I used dmesg but not sure if that is the correct command.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
Don't use ROM Manager. Long-press the power button, select Reboot, and then select Recovery. Clear Cache is on the main menu, Clear Dalvik is under Advanced.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nba1341:
This happened to me for the second time right now. Volume buttons responded but the screen would not wake. The screen as off for 9 hours and wifi was left on.

EDIT: Was able to recreate the problem by letting screen fall asleep by itself playing a flash video in dolphin browser (stays on longer than your actual set sleep time, usually around 10-15 minutes). Could not get screen to wake up tried rebooting with n + power nothing just volume keys worked. Plugged it in PC to get a log and the screen woke up as soon as it was plugged in.

Try wifi analyzer from the android market (free).

That worked for me too but it drained my battery. The power control widget might be a good workaround for you.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mac4rfree:
If you are talkin about reboot,,, no its not helping :)

About wifi analyser, i will test it... :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dbrickg:
Yes, when CWM asks if you manually installed a different recovery, say yes, and when it gives you a choice of versions, choose the one that begins with 3. You can wipe the cache partiton and the Dalvik cache as often as you like. It won't delete your apps or settings. But the "wipe data/factory reset" will remove them, so be careful of that one

Boot loop

Loaded the zip, selected proper zip, got past load, load, load. Got past press screen to continue. I am stuck in a loading loop with no response to any activity. 10 minutes and circle is still going round and round.

Help!

Update: I got the software to go. help the power button for awhile(20 seconds), got to reboot. I am now at "Welcome to Nook Tablet, Touch the android to begin." I have pressed and can recognize the press is acknowledged, no advance, other than screen timing out.

Help part 2.

SD Card Issues

Hi

I was able to download Modern Combat 3 off the market by changing the build prop. After the initial install, the second install from within in app would not work because it did not recognize an SD card (even though I have a 16gb SD card. I rebooted into recovery and partitioned my SD card by selecting the highest values possible...After restart the nook only recognized 10gbs of my 16 (but that was still better than none). The second install worked this time - the game fully installs no problem...when I begin to play the game however, it constantly keeps sending me back to the CM7 home screen. I tried rebooting...and after a reboot the nook once again does not recognize my SD card. I seem to be in a viscous cycle where I have to partition the SD card for the NT to recognize my SD card, re install the 800mb game, then reboot because it crashes..

Any advice?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ae1990:
Just eject and remount SD card you'll be fine reformatting was not nessacary

For some reason the cm7 soft keys don't long press you can download button savior and that will support long press for all the buttons

Installation aborted.

I was following the tutorial by albertcwertz I flashed CWM and went to apply the update from sdcard, but earn it trys to install I get an assert failed error. Now I'm not exactly sure what to make of it. my guess is since I rooted my nook jan 3 it may need a factory reset and rooting via some newer method, or my file was update-cm-7.1.0-encore-signed.zip and in the tutorials they were using the original non updated file (both tutorials were released feb. 19).I don't really know the significance of the error so I figured I would upload the picture of it so it might be of help in future debugging or issues.

ps. When i was installing a custom rom onto my droid2 I had an issue and wiping the device solved it, would this help in my current situation, Im going to give that a shot.

EDIT: wiping and clearing the cache did not help luckily I backed up before hand

Update on battery life:

So using "wifi analyzer" with the settings I posted here to keep my wifi connection working. I turned off my wallpaper, set my wifi to sleep when screen off. Brightness is turned to lowest setting as well.

This was done twice over the course of a "three to four days" for each charge. I averaged 7.5 to 8 hours of acutal usage (surfing the web, youtube, playing games, viewing pdfs, listening to pandora). The rest was of the time the tablet was in sleep mode.

The odd thing that keeps happening is sometimes charging takes a few hours and other times it would take overnight for a full charge. I do turn off the tablet for it to charge, so nothing is running at all. Can anyone chime in?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ae1990:

Interesting

Thanks I just discovered that very late last night, But what is weird was that I downloaded the file from the correct thread, maybe the links got mixed up. luckily I found it on some chinese website took a lot of time to find the download button, but I've got it working now the only thing I have noticed is that the Performance seems a but sluggish when scrolling through apps and pages. maybe that will be fixed in future releases.

Edit. I might mess about with launchers to see if it makes a difference can't wait to see honeycomb or atleast a really good HC system theme!

I want to go back to the battery life observations, but from a different angle. Has anyone noticed a reduction in the amount of time the battery will remain charged while the CM7 NT is

off

? I ask because I've had zero problems with battery life while the NT is actually running, but I just tried to turn it on with it having been unused for (I think) 5 days and it was stone dead. Had to plug it back in and wait 15 minutes before I could even bring the screen up. Before moving to CM7 I had had similar periods of non-use and when I'd turn it on the NT would come up with barely a reduction in remaining battery life.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Birdsbeaks:
Just reading the official B&N FAQ for the nook tablet, it indicates "Do NOT turn off your NOOK while it is charging; just allow it to go into sleep mode automatically".

I'd been turning it off to charge also, I think i'll follow their directions and see if it charges faster.

Here's the faq: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Support-NOOK-Tablet/379003185/

The question i'm quoting is: "How long does it take to fully charge my NOOK?" In the "hardware" category.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ms2003:
no required, you can flash from any rom

I was getting amazing battery life the first few days on this rom and then suddenly last night after dismounting it from my computer, its draining substantially fast. Has anyone had any luck clearing battery stats/reflashing?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nooknut:
Battery life with and without wifi

I find that I get about 8 hours of battery life with wifi in any mode (always on or sleep with device sleep). With wifi off, it has been 15 hours from full charge with device sleeping and I have only used 6%!

So, I conclude (correctly or incorrectly) that wifi is highly non-optimized.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
In which case you'll be glad to know that the wifi driver in the new build that is currently in testing is far better than our original. It would appear that all the issues some of our testing were able to reproduce on the previous version have no been cured. DSP audio is back. Accelerated video decoding is working and a few other bugs that were reported to us.

Stick with us, we're getting there!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
Well that's fantastic news. Ive come to the same conclusion as the above poster, that's its the wifi killing the battery, as today I've been using it extensively for reading with wifi off and am still above 90%.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nooknut:
Awe-some! ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
Oh and its' the latest CynaogenMod 7.2 of course ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BangDK:
I can see that you are already working with the wifi, and as i haven't looked through all of the 65 pages in this thread, i don't know whether or not it haven't already been told, but anyways, here it goes;

Sometimes my Wifi disconnects from my connection when it goes into sleep. It's not a big problem normally, as i can just open setting and reopen it, but here's the problem; sometimes it doesn't just open.

Sometimes it states, that the wifi is off, and has to be re-enabled. The problem is, that i am unable to do this. So to fix this, i have to reboot the device, and here comes another problem.

After rebooting after the wifi problem, the device doesn't seem to respond, and just gives a black screen for the next period. This is the state until it runs out of battery, and i can put it into a charger and get it turned on once again.

Beside from that - great rom, looking forward to the next build :-)!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CelticWebSolutions:
The wifi freezing / disconnecting and needing rebooting is the most well known bug of all. It's posted many times through this thread, it's also stated on the dev thread a few times. I don't mean to sound like many of the other grumpy Devs but please there is a search button! You can search a thread and see every mention of wifi quite easily!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Know-Fear:
And by saying that you haven't read all 65 pages, you really mean you didn't read any of them, because I am sure this has been covered at least 100 times.

Can you post any pics or vids of the issue so I can get a feel for it? Thanks.

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

I agree with dodgepot. Try going back into CWM and doing full factory reset as well as wiping Davlink Cache under advanced settings.

If that still doesn't work open Rom Manager from the apps and run Fix Permissions.

Google those and make sure you know the difference and what they are. Then read some of the top posts in the Development thread to learn how to root, install CWM and do backups.

You don't have to update over the air. Infact, if you install CWM on an sdcard you don't even have to root the nook to install CM7 ;)

CM7 installed and running. So far so good. I started doing selective restores from TB but wondered what would happen if I just restored everything. How smart is TB? Will it restore over apps which are already installed? I wouldn't want to restore over newer versions.

Should I restore all of the B&N cloud service stuff and whatnot?

Do a batch restore and uncheck what is already installed/what doesn't need to be installed.

Really you should only install user apps and for apps already installed like system apps (gmail, etc) just restore data

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Goncezilla:
Ok, I see the same thing on my Nook now, just never noticed the corruption at the bottom before.

From what I see there is no error being produced and other video apps (Netflix, HULU, MoboPlayer, Movie Player, ect) don't have this issue. This points to a faulty youtube app or at least the way it runs on OMAP4 processors.

I have been running youtube either from dolphin browser and don't have these issues.
