[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cheshire:
The end, my friend

I work at Barnes & Noble, frequently in the Nook department, and have been modding my 16gb Tablet for roughly 6 months now, from CM7 to CM9, and all I can say is both mine and my father's Tablet are on eBay. One has sold, the other is currently being bid upon. It sucks because I thought maybe, like the Color, we had a shot at capturing a substantial block of those who wanted to root and mod.

Then came the Fire. We know how that played out. Outselling the Nook Tablet who-knows-how-many to 1. Now Amazon's preparing to sell the Fire for $149. I don't know how much B&N has left in the tank. They are gasping for air at every turn these days. I'm pressured to sell 3 accessories, a warranty, and a membership, with every device sold. And if possible, ebooks, that don't even count towards my own or the stores daily sales. I don't see B&N keeping pace with Amazon and Google at this point. Perhaps they'll reduce the 16GB down to $199 but the pressure will only increase and the lifeline will only shorten.

Now, the Nexus 7. Like I said, I already eBay'ed one device and the other is set to sell in the next 48 hours. I already have a Nexus 7 preordered and I'm sure it'll be amazing. I blame B&N and their carelessness to think about their devices' longevity with regards to things like the bootloader and abnormal Ducati timer conflicts. They made it so damn difficult for developers to build upon that the community is practically heading for the hills. Hell, the community here has bought multiple devices for developers only to hear silence. It's not their fault. B&N doesn't care, and doesn't care to be involved it seems, and so those who develop the hardware do as they please without regard to much. We've lost so many bright minds because B&N wanted to a player. They thought they had the huevos to lock down and obfuscate "mischievous" development. Well in 6 months they'll be twisting in the wind with the Nexus 7 leading the charge, a discounted Fire at far below cost, a new Fire and perhaps a 10" to deal with, and lastly a 7" and, most likely, less expensive, Apple iPad mini.

My hat is off, strangely, to a company that put so many independent bookstores out of business. I actually feel bad for them. They made a 7" tablet inexpensive and attractive starting with the Nook Color that amazingly started somewhat of standard. But their days are, without doubt, numbered. They can't simply slash prices across the board forever, they simply don't have the capital. They can't out-innovate Amazon or Google at this point. They don't have the money to expand their distribution model to include movies, TV, or music. They'll never give in to opening up their OS to Play, because, as it is, they're only making their profit on their walled content.

Perhaps they should've sold off the Nook line when they had a groundswell. Now...well, now it's going to get ugly I suppose. But I stand and salute all those who made the journey of customizing our Nooks into something new and great a unique experience. Thank you to all of you.

Hell of a post.

Good to hear some "inside" insight.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Cubanluke88:
The Nook Tablet would have taken off if they had released the 8GB, $199 model on launch and I'm willing to bet it would be holding the Fire's position.

When you're talking about "cheap" tablet alternatives, that extra $50 matters.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ranho acido:
I only hope that it becomes extra cheap and more people with developer skills come aboard, but this is just a dream. By the use I currently give to mine I see no reason to change. I mostly read comics, magazines and on travel I check some movies, maybe use twitter or facebook. I don't really use it to work or to play some games, so actually I'm not feeling this urgency to change. But again, I really would love if we had more ROM's which is for me the big handicap.

I'm pretty sure that most of the cheaper tablets will not endorse this position by google... I just read in engadget that the cost of the tablet most likely is over 200$, so actually google is losing money. The only thing is that, up until now, android tablets were trying to overcome the Ipad, they didn't care about making it cheap and normally a google device is the cream of the cream, this time they went to the cheapest, I don't know what motorola, sony, samsung are feeling about this, but nobody is gonna buy a tablet from them that is twice as the official from google which is super easy to ROOT, get updates, etc.

Hey those KF cooks are doing some great things. We'll also be seeing those cool goodies on the NT too ! ! !
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Demetris:
Hey ppl,

Dont get desperate so easily, anyway 4 cores on a 7" is an overkill imo.

NT is more than capable machine with great future ahead, so just give some time to developers to develop :)

I know that great things are coming over the TI side to help us and all omap developers.

1st their development model has changed substantially and they now are able to release source code to aid in ducati development and that GT timer issue we are facing. In coming months they will release the codecs needed to produce our own ducati with any gt timer wanted ;)

Also as seen on kernel development Kuzma is fighting with 3.4!!! kernel already (kudos to him for finding the courage this early times, 3.4 is in infantry right now)

Kuzma has started developing new kernel based on 3.0.31 kernel from TI git(we have surrpassed ics level code ;) ) just got into 4.1 android upgrade circle so needs time to get up again and continue.

We have a lot of great developers on this already and also we are very lucky to have the one that developed the amazing KF kernel v3~.

I know DDK1.9 driver is coming in next TI update for the GRFX card of ours.

This platform is not dead yet, not even close to. Just need time to stand on its feet.

2nd Consider this, if all the bugs gets eliminated by developers and believe me they are close to this, then upgrading to new kernels or android versions will be a breeze sailing from there!

3rd Patience is a virtue afterall.

The phrase "patience is a virtue" is just a way of expressing the importance of being patient. A virtue is a trait or quality deemed to be morally excellent and thus is valued as a foundation of principle and good moral being. Patience can make us better people. The definition of the word is to tolerate delay implying self control and forbearance. When we say "patience is a virtue" we are exposing our moral values and expressing the importance of patience as a foundation of principle. So to answer the question patience is not a virtue until it truly becomes a virtue and knowing how diverse the spectrum of individualism is I'm sure patience is a vice(opposite of virtue) to some. Patience is a necessity for a happy existence and that is why the phrase is so often used.

:P

I'm selling my Nook Tab to buy a Nexus 7 mainly for the webcam and bluetooth.

Being able to Skype my girlfriend on my tablet with video would be pretty awesome by itself, but with the bluetooth I could load up some emulators and play them with a wiimote instead of awful touch controls.

The developers on this forum have been doing an amazing job making the Nook Tablet usable, but I'd rather sell my NT and have a device that has this usability out of the box and also has a webcam and bluetooth.

I don't regret buying the Nook Tablet when I did - myself and many others are early adopters in the 7-inch tablet market and I simply want the latest and greatest tech now.

[General Questions and Answers] goodosiris:
Hello everybody. This is my first post on this web site. I want to install ICS on my I9000 but the thing is i don't know how to root, change the rom or anything of the sorts. I watched and searched but everybody uses a different method. and most people don't show how to get to the easy part, where you install the rom from your sd card. this may sound stupid but i can't get my head around it.
[General Questions and Answers] mister102:
(Before flashing always make a backup with titanium backup or someting)

Hi. The problem is that you cant install a rom from your sd card without root. I always flashed a new kernel. Try semaphore ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 ). Semaphore is a tar kernel so you`ll have to flash it with odin. Download odin on your computer. Turn your galaxy s off. Hold your homebutton, volume down and powerbutton at the same time. If you did it right you`ll see a yellow traingle. Now connect your phone to your computer with your usb cable. Open odin. In odin you will get a message like connected. If it is connected then click the PDA button. Locate your semaphore kernel and download it. Then your phone reboots. Wait till its done. Then connect your phone with your computer. Open your E: file and put your rom zip into this map. Turn your phone off. When its off now hold your home button, your powerbutten ond volume up. Then you will boot into recovery. Use your volume buttons to navigate. Locat install zip from sdcard. Locate your rom zip and install it.

Good luck and tell me if something dont work.

[LG Optimus 3D] carlsanderson1986:
Hey guys,

When I flash v21E I get no signal, any ideas?

Thanks
[LG Optimus 3D] xstokerx:
Same with me I think it has to do with kernel if I get some time I'm going to try a bunch of different kernels with 21e and see what happens
[LG Optimus 3D] iodak:
You have to flash 21e baseband or 21e kdz file with baseband included. Tutorials are on general section.
[LG Optimus 3D] xstokerx:
ya thats what i did i flashed 21e kdz and no network at all
[LG Optimus 3D] carlsanderson1986:
+1

Yeah me too, I'm not a noob I have written my own roms before. I am just nooby on this phone lol. I don't understand how with the correct baseband etc it still doesn't give me signal. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
[LG Optimus 3D] cassianog:
It's really weird: I own a Brazilian P920H which should be incompatible with V21E, but it's not. It worked with the official ROM and now I'm using Prometheus 1.4 and Prometheus kernel 1.4.5.1 for a couple of weeks. Wonderful battery life and no ghost calls.
[LG Optimus 3D] carlsanderson1986:
did it again

So I did it again ... after I installed the baseband I went into recovery and did all the wipes ... I got signal! :) let me know if it works for you.
[LG Optimus 3D] LeighR:
I struggled to flash the KDZ file. When I got it to flash, I had a complete phone update to original GB. This wasn't so bad but I still wasn't on V21e. My PC is having all sorts of problems flashing the KDZ file (I've spent a few days trying to get it working) so I've moved on to the fls file instead.

I used SmartFlash Tool to flash the bin and fls file and although I am now on baseband V21e, I now have no signal. I have used GetRIL to match the RIL to the baseband but not joy. I have reflashed the bin and fls files a few times.

May be worth noting that my RIL says its V21e and my Baseband is XMM6260. GetRIL recommends V21d but it doesn't solve the problem.

I am now using the Prometheus ROM and Kernel but still no joy. I have tried different kernels, like the Titan kernel that has solved the problem for other people. Please help - currently my device is a 4" tablet :confused:

*Edit* - having more of a read, its possible that I'm using the wrong bin and fls files and maybe the XMM6260 chipset is not used in this phone. I'm going to try to find a different version of the fls and bin files - if anyone can point me in the right direction for the v21e files for the P920, that would be greatly appreciated

*Second edit* - I think the phone DOES use this chipset. Help please

*Third edit* - FIXED. I flashed the Titan kernel again (I flashed them all again) and reset the RIL to v21e in GetRIL and I now have signal, hopefully ghost call free. I should note that GetRIL says my RIL and baseband DON'T match

*Fourth and hopefully final edit* It wasn't as fixed as I thought. Some kernels gave me wifi but no phone signal, others gave me signal but no wifi. I'm now running blue kernel on Prometheus 1.4 and both seem to be working.

I really liked CM but it forced my baseband back and I was getting network issues, plus the lack of 3D caused me to change up. It did indicate that basebands could be updated through ROMs, which would make things much easier
[LG Optimus 3D] perna84:
This is happening because smartflash doesnt flash baseband properly...

You just got your signal back because of the kernel you flashed over... which isn't a v21e dependant.

I had the same issue...

Solution? I kept my v20a baseband and I'm using XPlay3d (which is based on v21d).

For me smartflash won't update my baseband no matter what I do... although it flashes the firmware and stuff (and even recovered my phone from a LG logo stuck brick)
[LG Optimus 3D] LeighR:
That makes sense. I did upgrade the stock LG firmware first and ghost calls seem to be cured. The worst was being on froyo and using a GB ROM like CM7 - calls and data signal were horrendously inconsistent
[LG Optimus 3D] LeighR:
I tried Prometheus 1.4 ROM but didn't work. I probably need one with a matching baseband. I have noticed my phone slows down after a few hours and eats more RAM - thanks for the heads up
[LG Optimus 3D] iTTerror:
Try the newest rom, it flashes the super stock kernel with it, at least should get a signal then, otherwise try a different baseband version (there are 2 different versions) Maybe you flashed a wrong one in the first place. Also the prometheus rom doesn't flash its own kernel, i would advice you to flash the real prometheus kernel, as soon as you booted with the normal prometheus rom, then reboot into recovery and flash the kernel. for some reason there are problems for me when i install a rom and flash a kernel right afterwards, without booting and setting up the new rom.

Also did you wipe everything before installing the rom?
[LG Optimus 3D] LeighR:
That's what I did - I flashed Prometheus 1.5. Yes I wiped everything. I have an issue with my PC and LG Flash Tool so I'm trying to avoid using it again.

Just to clarify, you are saying I should flash Prometheus 1.5 ROM, then the 1.5 Kernel? There are two (one with a +) for different basebands I think. It wouldn't be a problem as I have everything on my SD card and ready to go. However, I'm not sure which baseband I'm on now - my phone says v21e but you are right that it doesn't seem to be
[LG Optimus 3D] iTTerror:
my phone showed the same, and the + kernel didn't work for me, i didn't get asked to enter my pin or anything, it was showing just no network

I have Samsung Focus rev 1.3 with Tango ROM running, I want to enable Mass storage mode on it. I tried following the guide here:

http://www.windowsphoneforum.net/fo...onnect-your-windows-phone-7-mass-storage.html

But however, its not detected as Mass Storage ? Anyone else have it running on custom ROM ?

Also what does mass storage mode do ? Will it help in completely bypassing Zune software, like copying music files as such without need to sync, etc? or the manually copied files are not detected by wp7?

all thats gonna do is show up as basically another hard drive , you should be able to get it , i think he left a step out , and you need to use the diagnosis app to set it ,there will be 3 settings in there ,you'll have to look for it in the dev section of wp7 I dont remember where it is!

If you know what folders hold music and pictures and what not you can place them there directly

No. I just wanted to list a lot of roms that will not work on bl7 because I don't like you

Of course they will work! Well, I haven't tried them on bl7 since I'm bl6 with bl5 defy+ kernel, but these are all defy+ roms. Good luck! :) Just remember not to flash kernels e.g. Walter's kernel as it's for bl<6 and will brick your phone!

Hey all,

Since upgrading to ICS on my I727r, I keep getting voice notifies, for instance, if I get an email, it will say "ONE NEW EMAIL" or this morning my alarm went off and it said "FIVE-ZERO-ZERO A.M."

To me this sounds like an Accessibility option, but when I look in there, everything's turned off.

I thought it was an interesting feature at first, but it's starting to get annoying. Anyone have any idea what this is, or how to disable it?

Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bitemark01:
I've managed to find the solution, though I've been poking around on my phone for 2 days now.

I have Voice Talk installed, which I thought was a standalone app, but it turns out to be running in the background as a service.

It was set to Driving Mode, which it's been set to since I was using it on Gingerbread. However in Gingerbread it never did this.

Anyway, I disabled Driving Mode, and my phone is quiet now.

Also, I recommend everyone give Voice Talk from the Samsung Apps a try, if they haven't.
