You don't need a degree or formal education to know more/better than others about certain subjects, the degree is just proof you paid for your education and that you passed the course... Often times, it's those who learned on their own as their passion or hobby who are the biggest assets in the workplace, not those who simply picked up the course because they knew it was in demand and that it paid well... This is especially true these days with how easy it is to cheat or mostly fake your way through a college education. Having a college education does not mean you know everything or are a better candidate in whatever field you studied, most graduates forget something like 65% to 75% of what they learned after graduation, while those who are self taught retain much more information. And that's why "they're in charge" and not you...

My old phone was this way, its not as much of a deal as yall make it

Yes I'd love s-off and would donate accordingly but we can do everything from flashing kernels to changing splash screens minus those who took the update unfortunately but its HTCs job to close exploits

Otherwise people could/would use those to gain access to our confidential info ect....

Blame the carrier for locking down the phone as its their choice in the end and both att and Verizon do not like us to have control
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTCFAN0923:
Bingo! It was the AWS hack! I confused it only because Verizon LTE devices use SIM cards as well. Dont get me started on the stupidity that is CDMA...

Galaxy Nexus for $349. Run it in AT&T. No need to renew your contract. It's the greatest thing ever and it is also why Google rocks. Such a awesome phone running 4.1 and its unlocked!!!! For $349!!!! I would have killed for this in the Windows Mobile Days when I would spend $650 on a unlocked TyTn II...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Um instead of whining about it why don't you guys just get new iphones with your att upgrade subsidized phone, sell it on the Internet, and buy an unlocked device?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
Pretty sure most of us already bought this phone under contract.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Thanks that was helpful.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dimgl:
I am so glad I dumped this phone. I would've sat there, waiting for development that was doomed from the start. Not to mention the phone was plagued with design issues. Thank God I turned this POS.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] gunnyman:
Also helpful.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Red5:
Ther is plenty of Development here. Sure we could use more, but lets know knock the few Devs that we have here. Pound for pound, this phone runs great stock, but adding some Dev flair to it makes it much better.

[Nook Touch General] mjj777:
Thought I'd pass this fix along.

I have a rooted nook that would not power up (stuck on last display screen). When I'd plug it in -- it showed a GREEN light (already charged). I tried all of the reset fixes (20 seconds hold, 1 min hold, wait a minute, 15 secs) -- nothing worked.

Finally, I pulled it apart using this tutorial on Youtube:

[Can't post link because I'm a newbie --- just search for "How to Take Apart a Nook Simple Touch"]

Very easy to do if you have a T-6 torx driver. I unhooked the battery. Held down the power button (white button if disassembled) for about 30 seconds to discharge the board. Then hooked the battery back up, reassembled, plugged in -- and it started charging (orange light).

It looks like the issue was -- the nook was registering the battery as fully charged -- and it was completed depleted. The above fix seemed to reset it.

Hope that helps someone.

[Nook Touch General] Renate:
I thought that it was a T-5 Torx? :confused:
[Nook Touch General] mjj777:
I thought that too, but -- at least with the torx set I have, t-5 was too small.
[Nook Touch General] liquor:
Had the exact same problem and your procedure fixed it! Thanks!
[Nook Touch General] wwmhf:
I also had this problem this afternoon. This procedure worked for me too. Thanks a lot because it helped to revive my reader.

However, for Nook to have such a problem and we need to fixed it in such a complicated way is not acceptable.
[Nook Touch General] ferossan:
Fantastic. I had the same problem and now it is solved. Thank you.

After I bought a Nexus 7 my NST was resting for a while. Now, when I wanted to use it again, it was totally dead. Then your tip bring it back to life. :)
[Nook Touch General] viouviou:
Thank you. When plugged, instead of "Charging (AC)" my nook was showing "Not Charging" in device info/battery. And in the end, it went dead.

After your fix, it works
[Nook Touch General] legoverse:
That's the ticket

THANKS!

Just the tip I needed! :good:
[Nook Touch General] spaboleo:
Thanks!

That seemed to work :)

It's now showing the "Your Nook's battery charge is too low to power up. Please wait 15 minutes! screen and a loading animation :good:

I was seriously worried.

This is really weird...is there any reason for this issue?

I am quite new to the nook in general. (Nook simple touch glowlight in my case.)

Maybe we can check for similarities and find what was causing the problem.

So what did I do to my Nook:

Rooted, Nook Manager

Nooks gapps flashed, market downloads work (search not)

Installed a bunch of apps

Installed a custom Launcher (Lightning Launcher)

Installed Swiftkey as a custom keyboard (needed several language charactersets)

Left Wifi turned on all the time

Used the feature to restore the glowlight setting after being woken up again

Used the setting to skip the lock-screen swipe

Used a custom screensaver/lockscreen text

Changed button links in the main menu (n-button) to adress the original home, as well as the custom launcher home

That's what I can remember :/

And as far as I can remember I had more than 15% of battery (at least).

:confused:
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
With the 1.2.1 software there is an automatic shutdown that kicks in at around 20% battery.

It doesn't work very well.

It will also give you warnings when it's under 20% but plugged into the wall and charging.
[Nook Touch General] mentalmarriott:
Green light issue, fix not work

I recently got a brand new nook simple touch and after trying various fixes to try and start my nook up I came across this. I was hoping this would work but it is still on green when battery is plugged in and charging off mains. The light is also green when plugged into mains without battery attached. It wont go past the "Fully charge before first use" start screen and can't find any more information on what to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Nook Touch General] conan747:
Thank you for the fix. It worked the first time I tried but after only one day the problem presented itself again and after that the fix doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm leaving the battery disconected a few hours in addition, to try if it fixes this problem completely (but I'm not too optimistic).

This firmware, does it still count even if you have rooted the device? If so, do you think a downgrade to 1.1.1 would fix the problem? It is rather funny that I didn't have this problem until a couple of days ago, even if my NST is only 2 months old!
[Nook Touch General] conan747:
Update:

It seems that my battery is not yet dead after all. It turns out that I was measuring it wrong (thank you Engineering degree) and now it reads 4.15V as it is supposed to.

So, that brings me back to the theory that there is something wrong with my software. Right now it can boot for a few seconds but as soon as it goes to sleep mode (either by clicking on the "power" button or just waiting), it freezes. I recovered the official firmware and the problem persists.
[Nook Touch General] ugynok:
Thanks, this trick fixed mine too! :)
[Nook Touch General] rugrln:
Does anyone know if this fix can be achieved by simply charging the nook for an extended period of time? I have the exact same problem but I'm not so sure about opening the back cover as it voids my warranty and I only purchased this device in early June, and the problem appeared by the end of June :/

I have to confess, I never did charge my nook fully when I bought it as recommended, and simply dived in to using it as soon as the battery had a sufficiently high enough % as I was too excited lol :p
[Nook Touch General] anders8:
I find it acceptable. After all, if we weren't messing around with the devices in the first place, we wouldn't ever need to do this.

Plus, really, it's not that complicated. A couple of screwdrivers and it's open. I mean, should we expect it to open itself with a voice command or something? ;)

[Nook Touch General] ctot:
Thanks, this method worked ok with mine.
[Nook Touch General] alucard_xs:
HI dudes,

it seems I've got a similar problem, green light on usb and stuck on "YOur Nook has turned off completely"

I take it apart with no success ... any idea ? Mu NST is nearly brand new, ever used a lot ...

thanks
[Nook Touch General] JaGrab3:
I had the same problem, the reason was completly dead battery. After bat replacement nook works great!.

When battery have to small voltage, noow won't start to charge. You can try with external charger, to bring battery to life.

I think some nooks was matured in stock, thats why battery was completly discharged...and wont charge with nook.
[Nook Touch General] buxtor:
Nook showing green light, main board drain and nothing

My Nook shows the green light when plugged in either to the pc or wall charger. I've held down the button twice for 30 seconds and disconnected the batery holding the power button 30+ seconds. Neither worked. Any more suggestions? I do notice a slight flicker of amber whilst holding the button down with the power cord plugged in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Nook Touch General] JaGrab3:
Check battery voltage. It looks like your battery is out.

You can try charge battery with external charger.
[Nook Touch General] bardell3600:
This may not work for everyone but it worked for me. And it is a simple fix that does not involve taking the NST apart.

Run the Battery Calibration v 1.2 app per the instructions on its opening screen (start app, charge to 100%, touch button in app.) App can be run while nook plugged in.

I found it here

https://battery-calibration.en.uptodown.com/android/download

But note that it is found here also (some of the mirror links still work)

https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1033529

The Nook Simple Touch runs a modified version of the Eclair version of Android. Finding Eclair compatible apps is becoming increasingly difficult. So finding a battery calibration app that actually works is golden.

MY SYMPTOMS

Nook Simple Touch froze. Battery showed mid 70% range when plugged in to charge. After recharge everything was fine until it got back into the mid 70's again.

Then it started freezing in the 80% range.

I finally decided I needed to do something when it started freezing in the 90's.

I had even ordered a new battery (which will likely fix this issue also.) But decided to try this super simple fix first.

Hey guys,

I tried flashing the ICS rom (cm-9-20120420-ODIN-galaxy2.tar.tar) yesterday, My Samsung Galazxy S2 is already rooted, but when the phone rebooted after flashing the custom rom, it reboots to a black screen with a blue light lit. i can boot into CMW recovery, but when i try to restore from the NAndroid, it gives the error E:Can't mount sdcard. when i try to mount the sdcard, it gives the same error. When i put the phone into download mode to use ODIN to reflash it, ODIN doesn't even recognize the phone. if itry to format the card through CMW, it gievs Error mounting sdcard.....skipping format....Done.. If i try mount USB storage, it gives E: unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or...) How do i fix this, is it bricked? i never ran into this problem when i use to flash my EVO 4G, TP2, TP, or WM 6.5 Mogul.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] misterpostman:
Make sure you have the proper drivers installed on your computer and try a different cable. I think Odin is your only hope unless you try an external SD card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daniel4653:
Do you have Samsung kies installed ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shunmyles:
I download the Samsung drivers from the website and downloaded Kies. When i try to push the rom through ADB, ADB cmd does not show the phone under listed devicesor it does not show up in Device Manager.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] misterpostman:
Maybe a different computer? If that doesn't work then I think its safe to say your device is dunskies

Is the international S2 CM9 ROM accidentally flashed on your E4GT, or do you have a GSM Galaxy S2?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] T.C.P:
U odined a rom for the international sgs2 on you're e4gt... U messed the partions up that's y u can't access it via usb or odin, sorry bro
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SOHKis:
try reformatting the card in a PC or different phone & see if it reads.. it could be a corrupt card, but if you can get to recovery it shouldn't be bricked

would it be possible to re-partition from recovery? & doesn't ODIN have a repartition option..?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Once again. Your do not own a Galaxy S2, you own a Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. Unless the page you downloaded the file from has Epic 4G Touch written all over it, it probably has NOTHING to do with your phone.

You will not find any CM9 build for our phone on Cyanogen Mod's website and you will never flash a rom, tar or anything that is marked for the i9100 or any other variant other than the SPH-D710 to your device.

The bootloader in the International tar you ODIN'd will not work with your phones USB. You will never ODIN anything again in this state. Get it jtag'd or replaced. You can sit here and fart around with it but you flashed software that was not compatible with the your hardware and most of it will no longer work until it has been replaced.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
That is a garunteed brick. Just like the ICS leaks from samsung the bootloader borks the usb and storage can not be mounted.

It is NOT for your phone. Flashing roms from that section is just plain suicidal. Its like playing russian roulette with a full cylinder. The SPH-D710 is not an i9100. Lets say had it even come close to working you would have NO voice and No Data. The i9100 is a GSM phone, not CDMA and it does not use WiMax. The hardware in your phone is WAY different.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dchibro:
Yeah sorry to say you jacked your bootloader flashing that. Sprint will likely replace it for you with a refurb for $35, even though it will be obvious that you were responsible. If you don't want to deal with Sprint ...

JTAG service: http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-epic-4g-touch-jtag-brick-repair/

$50 and you have to mail it in and wait for a return, so you'd be out a phone for a bit.

Nope. Usually that happens when someone loads an international or other S2 ROM instead of a Epic 4G Touch Rom. Even though they are S2's, the ROMS are not compatible.

The only chance you have is to send it out for professional JTAG service, and there is no guarantee they can fix it.

What did you flash? Maybe with more information, we can give you more specific answers.

I would like to know when and where should I buy my N7 in order to receive a Perfect non defective unit knowing how picky I am about my devices and since I will be out of the country I won't have the privileges of returning it back in case it fails later on.

Head over to a brick and mortar store and buy it at the store - inspect it while you're there to ensure it's in perfect condition. Problem solved.

While there's no guarantee you'll receive "a perfect device," you should be able to get a very good one either way. I picked up a 16 GB N7 at Office Depot on Wednesday, and there's a very, and I mean a VERY small amount of screen separation on the left side (you have to look at it under a magnifying glass in bright light to see it), but nothing else. Absolutely no light bleed, no issues with the touch-screen, and no creaking. It's every bit as solid as my iPad in build quality.

You can try the Play Store, but I prefer a brick-and-mortar store where I can quickly return it if need be.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharliesTheMan:
It's hard to go wrong, something like Staples or Office Depot. Open it right after you purchase it and you can tell if the screen separation is there at least, have one pass inspection on the exterior is a start.

Take it home, inspect it, check it out immediately, and exchange it right then if there's problems.

My 3rd unit I waited until new stock arrived at local MacMall retail store by checking their web site's live stock status. Asked the sales guy to help grab me the highest SSN from new stock. Unfortunately, 1st SSN C70KBC168XX had screen flicker. I asked him to fetch me a 2nd from different batch and SSN C70KBC163XX was perfect except for fingerprints but that wiped off easily. Bring your hotspot so you can activate on the spot and don't forget to do a factory reset on the imperfect unit. Only bad thing about MacMall is they charge a $6 Erecycling fee which Staples, B&H and others don't charge but it's a small price to pay for the perk of being able to swap out for a perfect unit on the spot.
