[Nook Touch General] Draygon:
Hello,

I just rooted my NST successfully with Touchnooter. After I used it a few minutes (about 5 mins), I found a black spot in the middle of my screen which won't go away.

It's everytime there, no matter what I do, even if it's off I can see the spot.

Powering the nook off and on again doesn't help.

Since I imported it, I can't replace it. That's what makes me really, really sad. Is there any way to fix this stucked spot? :(
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Send the picture. It may help understand what is happening.
[Nook Touch General] Draygon:
I'll do a picture if I'm at home.

After I used ADW Launcher and opened the App Drawer (where I slided from left, to right, etc. to look for the app i was searching), I got a stuck pixel (the e ink display doesn't have pixels? that's why i called it ink spot or stuck spot).

It looks like a dead pixel which is black all the time, even if my nook is off. :(
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
There have been a few reports of dead pixels.

I heard that somebody got an exchange because of it.

I doubt that anything you did with rooting caused this.

There are multiple "pearls" or blobs per pixels. See this microphotograph:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/pamoroso/5407255967/in/photostream/lightbox/

I don't think that you are seeing a single pearl getting stuck.

It seems to me that the problem must be electrical.

If it were me, I might try just for the heck of it to see if it could get "unstuck".

I'd try some full-page black white transitions, but I wouldn't hope too much.
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
I'd go for the unrooting path. If it comes back to original state, re-root again and check if the problem shows up again.

Forcing a black screen and coming back should work (sort of a screen reset), maybe a screen check program would do the trick (look for it in the market).
[Nook Touch General] Draygon:
I already did use my backup, but that didn't help, sadly. It seems to me, that this pixel is burned in the screen now.

I also used a whole dark screen because I also hoped to reset this pixel, this was also not working.

Aww, it's driving me nuts. Is there really an app in the market that could help me? Because dead pixel at an e ink device aren't that normal. Oh well, so sad. And I paid 200€ for it + 1 cover + 1 light because of the import, now that. T_T

Thanks for your replies, apeine. :)
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Yow! They were selling refurbished ones on eBay for $65.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Barnes-Noble-Nook-Simple-Touch-2GB-Wi-Fi-6in-Black-/300688948315?afsrc=1

Hmm, well they seem to be $79 now. :(
[Nook Touch General] Draygon:
So, nobody knows a fix? T_T
[Nook Touch General] SaltatorMortis:
like already said thi is a hardware issue..

it happens if you root or even if you root not..

its like you said a dead pixel.(on a TFT its not that bad because there are more pixel)

use the support(remove the root before)

thats the problem with a importet divice

its not cheap incase of an supportcase
[Nook Touch General] idoit:
As much as I like the Nook Simple Touch's general design, I have to say gross light diffuse!!! One day of use, extremely extremely extremely extremely extremely extremely extremely extremely careful on the screen. Now I have a white spot (when Glowlight is on) and black spot (noticeable on white background). Come on B&N! I really liked Nook (still do), but going with new Nook Glowlight (2013) is not an option for me at all. Up to now, no eReader can come close to the lovely Kindle Keyboard. It's like Windows XP of Microsoft products! :laugh:

P.S. I guess the black spot occurred because of rooting, if not just because of bad design of NSTwG.
[Nook Touch General] KEYofR:
The black spot was definitely unrelated to rooting. The fragility of the light diffuser film is a very well known issue since day one. When the glowlight first came out bloggers posted pictures of their damaged bright spots. Though of course B&N never admits anyvsuch thing on their web site, so people just keep unwittingly damaging them. Get a replacement and use a case that protects the screen at least when not reading. I use a Speck case that has a formed shell that snaps onto the back and a hard book cover front. The whole thing is covered in fake leather. The inside of the screen cover is velvet-ish. I damaged mine too when I first got it. I was extremely careful too. Since then I use the case religiously and I know not to let anything touch that screen at all not even casually. Just my fingers. Since then no problems. I agree it is a bad design to be so delicate and bad policy and bad customer treatment not to warn you about it.
[Nook Touch General] idoit:
Thanks! yes I was aware of these issues right off the bat, but bought one as my 2nd eReader. Believe it or not, after this happening, I'm just more in love of my K3. It's just such a sturdy beast! Best of all readers, for me it even defeats Paperwhite or what not. It gets beaten around in my backbag etc. and I've had it for several years now. No wear. Handsome as first day.

My plan was to make this my main eReader, but now I can't fully trust it, so it'd still be my night time reader. Now my plan: get a case, be even more careful... and cherish K3.

Edit: Well, I have to say that the black spot is extremely small, like 1 pixel. You have to really look close to notice it. The white spot is even smaller and just noticeable in Glowlight and from one direction! From 3 other directions, it's not noticeable at all. With this, I realized: 1. The device had been like this since I got it in mail. 2. Rooting has nothing to do with these issues.

I still love my NSTwG though.

GUdmorning everyone. i feel sorry:o for myself for i really cant find a SURE way to root my device. its baseband version is i9003jxkp3 running 2.3.6 GB. cant find this firmware in the sticky thread cf universal root. so i want to ask you guys if usin:og superonelick will root my device?

sorry i really tried helping myself using the search button etc. but cant seem to find the right way. please. thank you so much guys..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:
Sureoneclick works for Any GB or Froyo ROM :)

You can try it out :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jackrip5:
Hi!

I don't think that Superoneclick works with every GB firmware. Actually, i'm using I9003XWKPK firmware and superoneclick did not work. I tried it several times.

amit.bagarias universal root worked like a charm !
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:
Oh ya?

Because, I am on XXKPQ and used Superoneclick..The older version.

And, If it is so, You can try out the Universal CF-ROOT which is irrespective of your Firmware!

Sir can you please send me a link about the superoneclick you used? thanks
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
Sir what do you mean by irrespective? You mean any firmware will do? One more thing, in the link provided, there are 2 downloadable links. One is "bagara.tar something like that" and the one is "cf-root.apk" What should i use sir? And how do i use those files? I am very sorry for my innocence. I hitted the thanks button. :)

in this thread, he says this "Attached you will find the CWM ... just flash with ODIN selecting in the PDA source the CWM file. Also you can find the version to flash from CWM Manager app."

Im kinda confused cause i tried downloading odin, then clicked PDA. then cant see that CWM thing he mentioned. I just noticed that the "bagaria-09.GT-I9003_PDA.tar" is there. So should i do this,

1. Put in download mode.

2. Second Plug my phone. (USB debugging ON)

3. Click PDA then select bagaria-09.GT-I9003_PDA.tar

4. Click Start

5. Clear Cache from Recovery mode.

Done? Am i right?

Please clear me up about those CWM thing cause cant understand. Thanks a lot sir.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] jackrip5:
Yes you are right !

If you already had the CWM app running on your phone you could have used the second file.

I did it like you describe. I always select "reset" before selecting the PDA file.

Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] marshygeek:
Thanks. I got confidence now. Maybe root it later. But i need more guidance. Ive read a lot of comments, some says after rooting. Their Wi-fi is not working anymore? So say, this happen to me. How do i unroot if i used the amit bagarias.tar through odin?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] bangalorerohan:
Reflash the Firmware ;)

Does the 4.0.4 update unroot me or brick me? Anyone rooted test it yet?

I am currently running official 4.0.3
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
No clue. Not sure if anyone has attempted it. If you have CWM installed then you could do a nandroid backup, update, and see what happens. If you only lose root, then re-root. If you brick, restore backup. You could then restore to stock, update to 4.0.4 then re-root if you felt so inclined.

Or just install EOS nightlies and enjoy ICS a little more.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxsicknessxx:
So I came from quick qiz gb rom. I loved it. Fast quick great bat life everything want. No CIQ...

however... I saw great stuff about silver rom GB... ics themed so I grabed it and I gotta say its slick. Im confused about what it comes with but its fun.. IM getting addicted to flashing its so much fun.

However. I keep making nandroids of my roms... is there any bad side to flashing from nandroid to nandroid? Is there anything I should watch for? I ask because I like idea of going from ICS to GB ... I have get to install a ICS rom I just wonder should I watch for anything is there some info I need?

Anthing im missing...

Also whats the reason for ICS I know why you would want it but what advantages does it have over GB if any at this point of time? I have read of issues but no ICS bonus's

side note can you uninstall TouchWiz launcher
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
flash darkside in between and you'll be fine. Alot of people wanted ics for the gui, i wanted it for the new kernel with better features, including rendering gui with gpu, which isbwhat makes it so smooth. A first step towards smothness of ios, which was gpu rendered from the beginning.

I've installed golauncher and removed touchwiz on every rom i ever flashed, including all the ics ones, so yes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxsicknessxx:
alright I also need to flash the modem when going when GB to ICS right? just double checking... im not quite ready to flash ICS but I want get a nandroid of it just in case want to use it later. Dang android needs push that out! sounds super cool

How did u connect ur phone to the com? it should be off and hold search button while inserting the usb cable.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anbu187:
actually it is powering off your device first unplug it from pc then hold down BACK button not search button then while holding BACK button (first button on leftmost part of your Xplay) plug the usb cable to your phone. That should get you into fastboot and start flashing using flashtool or manual fastboot commands (using cmd).:)

erm, have you got the necessary drivers for fastboot?

fastboot is useless without an unlocked bootloader anyway, because most of the time you will be flashing kernel or system partitions which will give errors

Is it possible to use a custom rom with a locked bootloader??
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captain67:
A Rogers r800a doesn't have fastboot. The recovery you installed runs from the system partition instead of the kernel, and that blue light you saw was the recovery loading.

You can unlock your bootloader and enable fastboot using Omnius. Normally, it would cost money, but they have free credits for easter weekend right now.

I don't. if Sprint were smart they'd release the Galaxy Nexus either before this (but supposedly LTE will be disabled by default for a min, Bleh.) or at the same time. I sell Sprint phones (retail) so If I get any updates, I'll let you guys know.

For now, I can't help but shake my head at Sprint with regard to how it put Android on the back burner for the iFail for the last two quarters. Time to launch Gnexus and make a strong 2nd quarter showing for us and have a strong 3rd quarter with the HTC Evo One. Stay Tuned...

[HTC Sensation] platypusgravy:
From my (basic) understanding the HTC One has bluetooth 3 and the Sensation has bluetooth 2 so completely new drivers are required and it is not just a case of porting the software.

Hi All,

I was using fido OS_Acer_4.004.12.PA.FIDO_A22F_A rom and everytime I got a call from unknown person (not in my contacts) I could see his/hers name and number in the call log. I have decided to flash to LCR-2 Rom. I have installed Malez Recovery 0.6.2, rooted my Liquid-E and and made nandroid backup.Then I have flashed my Liquid with OS_Acer_4.002.14.EMEA.GEN1_A22F_A, installed Malez Recovery 0.6.2, rooted the phone again and flashed with LCR-2 and everything was working just ok. After few days i have noticed that in the call log there are no names with the phone numbers of callers who are not in my contacts. So I have returned to the official OS_Acer_4.002.14.EMEA.GEN1_A22F_A and tested my phone for the missing names( it was perfect with the fido rom). What i have observed is that when i am receiving a call I can see the caller's name and number. It does not matter if I answer the call or not but when I go to the call log I can see his name for a second and then the name disappearsand only the number stays in bold.

So I have decided to go back to Fido rom but I was not able to do nandroid recovery. I am getting an error:run 'nandroid-mobile.sh restore' via console!

I have spent some time to read about this error and was unable to restore my original (stock) rom.

I have tried to load OS_Acer_4.002.14.EMEA.GEN1_A22F_A again with Malez, do the backup and restore but same error.

I found a source for the stock or modified fido update but the links are outdated...

Any help is welcome,

Thank you
[Liquid S100 General] krysek:
Update

I have changed the SD card for a different one (2GB) and I moved nandroid backup files to it. I was able to restore my stock rom and there is no problem with the missing names. Then I loaded Froyometalv3.1 rom. After that the caller's names started do disappear again...

I was using Samsung 16GB class 2 card. Is there any special preparation of the card before using it with the phone ? Why I couldn't restore nandroid backup from it ? Is it too slow ?

Any idea with the caller log ?

Thank you
