[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Actually, I've had no battery problems in a while.

I've got rid of almost all the B&N stuff though.

USB host mode, with its polling seems to take a bunch of battery though.

It's still manageable.
[Nook Touch General] Areinu:
I got my glowlight nook recently(after I stepped on my old Nook ST, ouch). When you have glowlight on and the Nook goes into sleep mode the glowlight turns off. It happens even if you press the back button. But... I had few instances when the screensaver activated and the glowlight didn't turn off... Can't reproduce this issue too often and with glowlight at least I know when it didn't turn off ;) But other services might have simmilar issue.
[Nook Touch General] _ig_:
I wonder whether this has anything to do with the wi-fi sleep mode you can tweak on normal Android phones... maybe the default sleep disconnects the wifi too, while the sleep button in the back just activates the screensaver.

Hi,

The UK went crazy with the Nook last week and I got one. I also got the problem with the battery. I have tried this:

This is taken from qvc forum. I cannot paste the link, as this my first post. This is what Bogeygirl says: (you will need to google the text below, and find this on qvc)

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I love my Nook Simple Touch that I purchased in February of this year. I was so disappointed that after this short time and charging to 100% it would drain to 8% over night..This happened twice. I did NOT have the wi-fi on and the automatic shutoff I had set to 2 minutes so no issue there. No recent updates had been done to cause an issue like this.

I was not worried because it was still under warranty and would be replaced. So I called B&N CS and went through all the steps with them to make sure it was in fact defective.

He asked me to totally shut it down and do a hard reset and re-re-register the unit. I was not hopeful that this would work at all. I know that a hard reset can fix a multitude of sins but I never would have thought it would work to fix this battery draining issue..To my surprise it worked.. Battery charge is holding just like before.. I read a lot and usually charge it once a month.. I am so glad that this worked. Such an easy fix but I will continue to monitor the battery charge just in case.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have tried it, and it seems to work fine, holding charge OK. Bogeygirl says hard reset, but it is the soft one. Foredog says that you don’t need to click the power button to sleep (just leave Nook to do the job for you), but I do click it to sleep, and I do also tap the screen, just to make sure that it is properly sleeping. It is fine at the moment. I think the whole problem with the battery is a software error with sleeping mode, as you say here. I think you are right.

I don’t have it rooted, as I only want it for reading.

Do you have any other advice for the battery? Or easier? I think everybody is having problems with the battery.:crying:

Thanks

Deep Sleep Battery Saver?

Does Deep Sleep Battery Saver help with the power-button not sleeping properly?

It performs several functions:

1. Supposedly automatically puts the device into sleep mode whenever the screen turns off (if you configure it properly).

2. Functions as a task killer, with a whitelist, to clear out buggy apps.

3. The Whitelist allows you to prevent useful apps from being killed.

I still use the power button to put the NST to sleep. Last night it drained about 7% overnight, although I leave WiFi on and read RSS feeds for an hour before putting it down. Also, DSBS is configured to wake up the device every four hours.
[Nook Touch General] kuskro:
The battery drain is due to some BN apps and Android System apps, mainly. I use the last version of "SystemApp Remover" for disabling apps (eg:AFfileDownloadService.apk,AccountAndSyncSettin gs.apk, BnAuthenticationService.apk, BnCloudRequestSvc.apk, DemoMode.apk, DeviceManager.apk, DeviceRegistrator.apk, Music.apk, NookCommunity.apk, Phone.apk, QuickStartActivity.apk, Shop.apk, Social.apk ,TelephonyProvider.apk, WaveformDownloader.apk).
[Nook Touch General] smayonak:
I thought it was due to the device not sleeping after the power button was pressed?

I also removed those APKs from the system directory, thanks to many of you guys. :)

Switching Wifi Off Worked Well

I had a Kobo mini & was not happy with the formatting of PDFs, hence I *had* to get a Nook Simple Touch ... the PDF formatting is excellent. However, I soon suffered the battery problem & couldn't get it to charge. I followed the advice on this page and it works so much better now. This is what I did :-

1) Switch off the Wifi. I have no need for it anyway as everything I read is PDFs loaded via SD card.

2) To charge, make sure the device is fully off using the back power button.

3) I charge it using a wall socket, rather than a computer. I have heard that this makes a difference in charging times.

It's early days, regarding how long it stays charged, but I reckon I will be resorting to switching the power off, rather than putting it on standby. I'm just pleased I managed to get it to charge at all and I am back in business.
[Nook Touch General] NOOK!E:
You probably don't want to resort to always powering off your Nook all the way, because the boot-up sequence uses about 3 or 4 times as much battery as regular use, making multiple reboots take up a large amount of battery.
[Nook Touch General] kazikas:
Is there a way to change default values?
[Nook Touch General] Sourgirl:
I have a nook simple touch glowlight, it's about 5 years old. Recently it has been saying battery too low to use. I plug it in and it goes to restart right away. When I look at battery life it my be at 89% (this was today). Is there something I can do to make this stop? It's quite a pain to to this everyday. I read on this a lot about a 1000 pages per week. In the "old" days a charge would last 20-30 days! Please help, I hate to get a new on, I love my nook!

I want an email similar to the stock cm7 with the option to sync on wifi only. Any recommendations?

Sent from my MB860 on CM7.2.0 Stable
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FtaWolf:
one suggest is to turn data off till u in WiFi area..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flusshd:
In my opinion, instead of looking for an email app which allows Sync on wifi only, you should use an Email app which allows 'sync when Background Data turned on' and/or 'Auto Sync' settings is on. The reason is, emails are very important and they should be pushed/pulled on any internet connection you have at anytime/ anywhere. I know saving 3G data charges and/or over heat are your issues in this case, so my recommendation above resolved both of these two issues.

And K-9 Mail is such an app I would like to suggest. You can go to its Settings/Network to find these options.

My solution also means you will use an extra tasker app, such as Locale, Smart Action... for teaching your phone when/where/how long/etc... the Background Data and/or Auto Sync is turned on.

For an example which meets exactly your need, just use Locale to program your phone to turn on Auto Sync when wifi connection connected. This also means you must set Auto Sync always is off by default. That's all.

As for me, I even dont use Locale or Smart Action, but just using K-9 Mail with option of 'Sync when Background data and Auto Sync checked'

Hope this can help,

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
That's either a bad download (I'd re-download the package you're trying to flash) or you need to go thru the following steps:-

Stuff to try when Odin doesn't work

*Must run Odin as administrator in Windoze.

*Ensure Kies & it's processes aren't running in Windoze task manager. Kill them if they are.

*Try different USB ports; you must be using a 'powered' or mainboard port.

*Try different USB cables (particularly the cable that came with the phone if you're not using it now)

*Try different versions of Odin (search on here/Google).

*Uninstall Kies, reboot, redownload & reinstall it, reboot, try the flash again.

*Check the rom/kernel you download for corruption. Programs like 7Zip, IZarc, WinRar, etc will allow you to 'test' the rom file you download. If there are any errors/any of the files fail the test, bad download. Try again/try downloading with a different internet connection if it keeps happening.

*Run Windoze Update.

*And if all this fails, try a different PC.

If you do get to the last step (trying a different PC) and it doesn't work first time on the other PC, then you go thru the steps with that PC.

related threads for background reading - www.xda-developers.com/android/modified-google-play-store-removes-country-restrictions/

I want to get an .apk from the play store onto an emulated device on a desktop pc and then export this.

Why?

- because when in development it can be a pain to use real accounts and associated credit cards to get an app onto a device.

- some devices.are.not intended to work.with market, such as the nook or nook touch

- some people don't have credit cards

Yes you can sometimes get the all from elsewhere but not always and its not clear quick enough which version the file will be.

This is also useful for testing in general.

So how does the market work and where can I read more about emulating a device on the desktop with an imei I specify?

To my knowledge, highest (and safest) charge current is 650mA for AC and 450mA for USB. Charging at those levels already produce a significant amount of heat. I guess it's capped because devs don't want your phone to burn :D

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxrb:
You could use a 1'000'000 Amp charger and it would still require the same amount of time to charge as the charging current is limited by your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al3x_xct:
For sure that the phone has a limitation, but i'm sure it is above 750mAh (stock charger) because the charging time is lower with the 1200mAh charger.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
I use my old HTC HD2 mains charger to charge my old HD2 and SGSII. While the charging time is quicker than from the original SGSII charger or a computer connected USB calbe, it is not half the time. It is very roughly a third quicker. The HD2 charger has a 1A output.

If you want to make the time the phone is getting charged shorter, then switch off the phone. This has 2 effects: the phone is not using any power and the battery and charger heat is only comming from charging the phone and not running it.

Hello

I have a motorola Atrix 2 GB version 2.3.6 is updated via OTA, you too eh Root fact and would like to install a modified ROM, but I do not understand how to unlock the bootloader, download the program and hise chesscake steps, but does nothing about that, someone could explain better how?

Greetings and thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
The bootloader is not unlockable!??!?!

there are instructions for all the roms in their posts.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Andr3s:
It's not as unlock, because I do not say anything when I use the automatic method, you could tell me how to do it again, I have downloaded the APK Cheesecake.
[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
Sorry, I don't really understand this. Are you trying to check cheesecake? If so that is not a bootloader unlock. It just checks motorola development servers to hopefully find an update that has an unlocked bootloader or ICS. He have basically given up on finding a booltoader unlock with it, but we are still trying to pull ICS.

Do not use my auto cheesecake, as stated in the post it does not really work yet. Use the original cheesecake app and hit the first button once. Then choose the first server with the second. check for an update. if it finds one, download it right away, BUT DO NOT INSTALL IT. upload it somewhere and share it here so we can see what it has. If it says up to date, the server was up, but there was no update. if it gives a wifi error, the server was down, which is normal.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Andr3s:
Oh I understand, good to me and came out a version downloaded and installed, so I guess it may not do anything now: (

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] pankaj88:
REQUIREMENTS:

- any file that you want to replace or add to your phone;

- an existing cwm flashable zip file to use as a base - I've attached one below;

- 7-zip;

- Notepad++.

STEPS:

DIRECTORY STRUCTURE:

(1) Download and place the sample.zip anywhere on your desktop;

(2) Right-click on it and choose: "7-Zip / Open archive" [*DO NOT extract; just *Open archive*];

Now you should see two folders: one called "system" and one called "META-INF".

I - FILES AND FOLDERS:

Let's start with the "system" one, so double-click on it:

In there, will go all files that what you want to add or replace to the system. So let's say for example that you want to replace the bootanimation and bootsound. To do so, we have to create sub-directories in the /system/ folder by following this easy method:

- On your desktop, right-click on an empty spot and select "New / Folder" then edit the name to "etc" (no " ") using no CAPS or space at the end;

- repeat the process to make another folder called "media";

- drag those two new empty folders into the /system/ folder of the 7-zip opened archive [just click yes on the popup dialogs];

- now simply drop the two files in their respective place: the sanim.zip file should go in '/system/media' folder and the PowerOn.wav into '/system/etc' folder.

.. If you have more files to add, just follow the logic above; I'm sure you get the idea by now..

/system/app - all the system apps (SystemUI.apk etc)

/system/framework/ -framework-res.apk, twframework-res.apk, android.policy.jar

/system/etc - vold.fstab, PowerOn.wav(bootsound)

/system/media - sanim.zip (bootanimation) (only for custom ROMs)

/system/lib - libraries (*.so)

II - UDATER-SCRIPT

The other folder included in the opened archive is named "META-INF" and all the file in it should be left unchanged.

That's it !!

Congratulations you've done your first CWM patch !!!

NOTE: Always backup your existing system file that you are going to replace by the patch(zip).
