I got a new cable as a spare and started using it as my primary. It broke within two months. Granted I was plugging and unplugging several times a day as I developed things for the nook. But it should not have broken. The end that connects to the nook cracked. That's poor design/quality.

[Nook Color General] Tiezane:
problem with the wire itself?

I bought a Nook Color around xmas 2010, and ended up convincing at least 10 other people to get one. In the time since, both my and my wife's cables have stopped working properly (slow charge, issues connecting USB to PC), and the same has happened to at least two other people I know. It seems for all of the ones I have seen to be an issue right where the cable enters the device end of the plastic block, that some of the wires inside might have been a little too stretched, and and flexing caused an intermittent connection. I know in order for mine to work right, now, I have to wrap it up over the top of the nook and down the back and rest the nook on it. my wife's cable started to split right in this same location.

One coworker has the Nook Tablet, and I took a look at his cable the other day, and B&N has increased the length of the boot where the cable goes into the device block by almost 100%. As soon as I plugged in his cable, everything worked fine.
[Nook Color General] d.v:
Gotta agree with you here. Got my NC in December, 2010 and the cord looks brand new. Maybe there were a batch of bad cords but I handle my cord very gingerly after having a micro USB connection break on a Sony MP3 player. (Got it replaced under warranty but the incident showed me how fragile these cords and connectors can be.) Now I'm super cautious with all my charging cables.

FWIW.
[Nook Color General] gerfena:
The cable sucks, I would happily sign into a CAS to force them to redesign the cable. I have had 3 of them break and they go through less abuse than my phone charger cable which is working just fine & is much older than my nook color.
[Nook Color General] baldy62:
I have 3 nooks (1NT & 2NC's). One cable broke while in warranty. I went to the local BN store. They told me they could have a replacement sent to me or that I could have a used one then and there. I took the used one. As far as I'm concerned, the customer service was fine. I would never agree to participate in a CAS. BN has been more than fair and the call for a CAS sounds a little shrill and overboard.
[Nook Color General] gallahad2000:
My cable lasted for over a year of daily use just fine. My nephew had trouble with his but that's because he yanked it out from the middle of the cord (rather than unplugging it).

I don't think a class action suit is indicated, especially given how quickly they replaced his.
[Nook Color General] joeuser846:
Just call B&N and they will replace faulty cables at no cost with free shipping - no questions asked. My local store will do the same.
[Nook Color General] cshehan:
I'm not sure a class action suit would do anything useful

Honestly I can't say I've had one issue with well over a year of ownership with my cable. Having said that, I also only use it with the stock charger at night. If I take my NC with me anywhere I take a regular micro usb cable that works fine with car chargers and computers. I was always leery of the the design of the nc cable and have been very gentle with it. I definiely avoid using it any more than I have to, which I think is a good idea for anyone. If you aren't using it with the stock charger there's really no point in carrying it about as a standard cable works just as well and much less chance of breaking. Just my 2 cents.
[Nook Color General] Googie2149:
I read this forum a lot before buying my nook, and with all the talk of how fragile they are, I was almost scared to charge it for the first several weeks. Though now, I don't really care. This cable seems fine to me, but I did once see a broken cable for a demo NC at a Staples.
[Nook Color General] gsutton:
Had three go bad myself. And I am very careful with using them. Checked the ends with an IR thermometer and it showed to be over 190 degrees on two occasions. Possibly the failures are due in part to overheating with the fast charger, at least I am thinking now.
[Nook Color General] brsingr:
If B&N had used the standard usb cable and charger port, like the one used for the psp usb cable or bluetooth headsets, then there wouldn't be all these massive problems.
[Nook Color General] mateorod:
And the Nook would charge at 1/3 the speed.
[Nook Color General] brsingr:
Meh, just means the battery will last longer before it effs up the nook. Besides, charge it at night and you don't have any problems, the main problem I have with my nook is that if I want to access the emmc part of the nook using the cable on a computer, I cant touch the nook at all or it will disconnect from the computer on the nook port, but still charge.
[Nook Color General] oppy:
Just what we consumers need is another pack of sleazebag lawyers filing another waste-of-money class action. They'll pocket millions and you'll get a "discount coupon" or some other worthless crap.

Seems to me B&N is doing the right thing by replacing the cables (I've never had a problem). Let's leave it at that.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
I hope users don't mind, but i am making an executive decision, and am closing this thread.

My feelings on lawsuits like this aside, the bickering in there is doing nothing for the community ; as it is, most acknowledge that they have had no issues getting cables replaced. Given this, i think that talk of lawsuits does no one good; furthermore, i feel that XDA isnt even the best place to handle it. We are a development community, not a legal forum; if something changes and a suit happens... Well, let us know. Otherwise, lets calm things down, and move on with life.

[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
long story short, my phone was shipped with prerelease software. After rooting and flashing a customer recovery, my original nandroid was corrupted.

The only option for me now is custom ROMs, but unfortunately my wifi gives me an error on every single ROM available.

Anyone know of a quick fix?

The only thing i can think of that would solve the issue is to possible flash the stock US ROM once it's available, then hopefully that would fix my wifi issues and i'd be able to flash to any other ROM with no problem.

Alternatively - could someone please post a flashable ZIP of the stock ROM, or at least post a stock nandroid that i would be able to restore onto my phone to see if the wifi issue gets resolved.
[HTC One S] djflaco23:
Did flashing the stock img work
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
I have a fix for you. I'm releasing it tomorrow though.

I'm releasing a stock T-Mobile nandroid final firmware and newest software.

I'm also releasing a rooted version.
[HTC One S] MikeCriggs:
Full wipe on everything?
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
Always

After doing a bit of reading, it seems as though some people have having similar issues. The exception is that theirs is doing this while stock, and updating their router firmware fixed the problem. My phone connected to my router perfectly fine while stock...the problem didn't occur until i flashed the first custom ROM.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
Thanks, hoping this will solve the problem!
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
It's because all roms now are based on European firmware not T-Mobile firmware.

Tomorrow I'm uploading the first ever T-Mobile Rom and it'll fix everybodys problem.
[HTC One S] MikeCriggs:
Definitely sounds like a firmware or driver issue. Have you tried resetting your router or updating its firmware? Also, what kernel version are you running.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
tried connecting to a different router on update stock firmware and teh issue still exists.

I was hoping that with the stock TMO-US ROM the problem would be fixed, but unfortunately not.

Now i have really no idea. It's impossible for me to live without wifi on my phone for good.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
Do this:

1. Delete /data/misc/wifi folder using a file browser.

2. Clear cache using recovery. Reboot. Wifi will regenerate its data.

3. Try wifi again.

Let me know if this works. It's a shot in the dark so I don't know if that's gonna work for you, since you already seem to have performed a fac reset.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
Thanks for the tip, unfortunately this didn't work either. I'm totally out of ideas at this point. Might just end up exchanging the phone and paying the out of warranty fee if they find out the boot loader was unlocked. Not really sure what's left for me to try.
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
Flash my T-Mobile Nandroid in recovery.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
I did within ten minutes of you posting it. Unfortunately it did not solve the problem. I thought that would be the fix... :(
[HTC One S] nickmv:
One thing I didn't notice was a clear description of the problem. Please describe what your issue is. You say the wifi gives you an error. What does that mean?

Please describe everything in detail from start to finish, before trying to return it.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
WiFi will turn on, display available networks, once a network is selected it will not connect and then says "error"

then after about ten seconds the phone will reboot, then reboot after it turns on. never-ending.

only way to have the phone work is to do a master reset, but the problem starts again when you attempt to.connect to WiFi.

also the phone will not stay off when stuck in the WiFi reboot loop. if i choose "power down" it will turn off, then turn back on within 10 seconds.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
That sounds very very strange. Almost like a kernel error (unlikely since kernel is included w/ ROMs), a radio issue (more likely), or a hardware issue (most likely, in my opinion). If you've already done a full wipe and wiped /system and /sdcard to be sure, then it sounds like you've done your due diligence.

At this point you might want to go ahead and reflash the stock ROM (see Reviewer's post with a nandroid of the stock ROM), reflash the stock recovery, and relock the bootloader. Unless someone else can chime in here. Also, if you return it, there's no promises that they won't look for TAMPERED or anything in the bootloader, so beware. The important thing is to have the stock software and recovery loaded and it relocked. Then they can flash it in the store, and it'll probably fail, in which case they may replace it.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
Yeah i'm clueless. I've literally done absolutely EVERYTHING that i could imagine to fix the issue.

I actually work for T-Mo, we dont have any abilities to flash anything in store. Also exchanging the phone is a little bit more difficult for me, because the phone was not purchased through tmobile, it was given to me by HTC a week before launch.

Either way, I'm going to reload all the shipping stuff when i get home tonight then go ahead and try to process an exchange. Worst case scenario they will charge me ~100 bucks as an out of warranty fee. (due to having the *TAMPERED* logo on the bootloader scren. Although I'm fairly certain they don't check that, they shoudl only check for physical/liquid damage. I have processed many exchanges for rooted customers, who had manufacturer defects.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
also another thing i just noticed, my baseband is: 0.15.31501S , but my friends retail version is 0.16.

any way for me to update this?
[HTC One S] TrueGenome:
Early Adopters

I just got the One S myself and I'm a bit forlorn from the lack of available ROMS. Then again when I was in the Apple Ecosystem, there was no ROMS, just tweaks so different environment different timelines I guess.
[HTC One S] FlexH:
Not sure if it can help in this case, but this solved my wifi error problem.

I had a "wifi error", my One S coudn't connect any AP.

The problem was a bad permision on the file /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf.

Logcat gave me that :

"Cannot set RW to /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf"

So, using Es Explorer (as root), i changed the chmod of this file to rw-rw-rw and wifi started to work again. (no reboot needed in my case).

Hope this help.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
thanks for this! wish i could have tested it, but i already found another solution.

i found the 0.16 TMOUS RUU posted on this site, just updated my phone from 0.15 to 0.16, and re-rooted/unlocked baseband & everything works flawlessly now!

hopefully this helps anyone who has the same issue. (almost all replacement devices being shipped right now still have the 0.15 baseband)
[HTC One S] BSAKSOUK:
I have the same issue, but it ddnt go away despite upgrading my radio (I upgraded using CMW though). Quite annoying.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
maybe try upgrading your radio using the RUU for your region.

hopefully that solves the issue for you!
[HTC One S] BSAKSOUK:
Am using a T-mobile US phone. Updated my radio to the latest t-mobile radio with no results.

I dont have a windows machine around to run the RUU, but updating the radio using CWM or the RUU should be the same.
[HTC One S] BSAKSOUK:
Hah, what did i know lol?

I flashed the RUU (1.53) - Wifi works now. I guess updating the radio using CWM is NOT the same as updating the whole system using the RUU.

In anyways, many thanks OP! I wouldn't have tried if it wasn't for your post.
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
awesome, glad its working for you man!

i've had three different devices all which had this issue, and this is how i've fixed it on all 3.
[HTC One S] withershandp:
Still having the issue

Wow,

Glad it worked for you all. I can still not get my wifi to work. Getting the same "Wifi Error" issue.

Attempted to flash updated radio - no change

Attempted multiple ROMs - no change

Factory Reset - no change

Attempted RUU flash (RUU_Ville_U_TMOUS_1.53.531.16_Radio_0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L_release_262073_signed) - but got error every time I attempted it.

The evil error 155.

Anyone have any ideas on what else to try? :eek:
[HTC One S] BSAKSOUK:
When you tried to flash using the RUU, did you make sure to relock your bootloader and install the stock recovery before doing so?

I made that mistake and the RUU wouldnt flash.
[HTC One S] withershandp:
I had not done that yet. Just did it though (just locked bootloader again) and it flashed beautifully. Wifi is up and working again.

Thank you so much :D

Hello,

Well I've got really bad battery life. I tried calibration but it hasn't worked. Does anyone know how I can locate the source of the problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
You have the screen on permanently.... it is THE largest user of battery in a phone, always. And OLED screens when displaying bright and light images use masses of juice.

And your phone never sleeps.

No idea what the hell you are doing, but it isn't a video player... it's a phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamungGalaxyS2:
Hi guys,

Thanks for your replies. Thing is, when using the phone, even when doing simple things, the battery decreases drastically faster than before. I am also using a extended battery.

Are there any other things, apart from brightness and turning off Wifi, GPS, that I can do to improve battery life?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
No... if you use the phone with the screen on for 3 hours solid.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamungGalaxyS2:
And I agree, the screen was on the majority of the time but still, the battery life is decreasing more than before
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akusokuzan:
Use the app Better Battery Stats to see if your phone has any other background processes running aside from what you expect it to. Uninstall/disable the offending apps then try to do your thing again.

Keep in mind as well that ICS uses more battery in general vs Gingerbread though, so that's another factor.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
You can try flashing modem for your region, it could fix your heating issue.

I use mobile Odin to flash modem from ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamungGalaxyS2:
Which modem shall I flash?

How do I check which one Im on atm?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
It's getting hot and draining because of the screen on time, not the ROM.

The screen uses the same power irrespective of the ROM. Only brightness and screen content will affect it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lost.soul:
Download "Watchdog Task Manager Lite" turn on the monitoring and wait and check the stats, if you have an app that is misbehaving, un-install it.

Most battery issues are due to that.

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
Flash modem from your region, means the version of modem that came when you bought the phone.

Example, when I'm on stock ics / cm9 it gets real hot near camera when I use edge.

Flashing my GB modem fixes that issue.

Also it's easier to flash what you have already used instead of finding the correct one.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuanandy:
your image

I see your image shown that your device has been froze somer times. Maybe you should try changing the kernel. Hope can fix your problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tuner420:
Poor battery because its awake

you get poor battery life because as you can see on the graph, the phone has been awake all the time as well as the screen, the screen is a big battery leecher, when i first got my phone and i used it for like 2 hours with no apps, the screen drawed almost 40% battery life, so if you want to increase battery life i suggest you to change your settings so your screen turns off automatically
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamungGalaxyS2:
I'm getting the same issue. I've also noticed that I ain't connecting to 3G much as before (before rooting / installing ROMS etc).

I believe its got to do with the modem. How do I know which one to switch to? My phones a SIM free one from UK.
