Correct! As was mentioned by bk201doesntexist, hold power and press volume up to access the menu.

No, that does not work on the GNex.

Have a look at the menu, and you can see the options.

Thank you! I feel like an idiot now. I honestly thought it'd be the same as the Nexus S where you were able to do this...
[Nook Touch General] MarkofT:
I picked up a like new NST without GlowLight and easel cover from an online acquaintance and I'm looking to make it work a little better for me.

I like the stock reader for ebooks. However, I have several PDF files with images and the stock reader just drops them completely. Looking around, it seems that ezPDF is a preferred app, but I haven't seen anything about it's image handling. A couple of them have color images and those aren't terribly important for clear viewing. Two others have black and white images and graphs and those need to be readable.

I'm also interested in a text editor of some sort. Does Google Drive work so I can use it's word processor app? Is there a good simple text editor app?

How about a spreadsheet app? Google Drive would be nice again, but anything basic work?

Calculator app? Doesn't need to be scientific, but extended operations would be nice.

I see a few game options, but not the most important. Anyone running a Spider solitare app on their phone?

Obviously I need to root it, but that's a tad :confused:. Does it matter which root I use (NST, N2E, other)? I've rooted 4 different phones, 3 Android and the HD2, so I'm not too worried about the act, just the correct procedure for my non-GlowLight NST.

So what are your suggestions?
[Nook Touch General] bobstro:
Check out Mantano Reader. It handles PDFs reasonably well on the NST, at least for my needs. I also like that it will treat B&N books and sideloaded books equally, including covers and metadata display. I've completely replaced the B&N Library and Reader apps with Mantano on my NSTs.

I only did quick testing, but Evernote seems to work well. Documents to Go seems to work, but I never did a lot with it. (My device isn't with me, or otherwise I'd double check for you.)

Again, Documents to Go seems to work.

I have always have good luck with TouchNooter (use the latest) so long as I remember to:

1. Confirm that I'm using the appropriate version of TN for the B&N firmware I'm running. The latest TN works on B&N 1.1.2.

2. Read the instructions -- all of them -- carefully. The NST isn't exactly like any other device, and there are some quirks (e.g. 24 hour Market delay) you want to be aware of.

3. Back your device up correctly FIRST. Unlike a lot of other devices, there is some device-specific content on some of the partitions. If you do find yourself considering doing a wipe of any sort that affects partitions, be VERY SURE you have this backed up first!

Good luck! They're nifty little devices.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbcampos:
Nexus 7 was working fine and then I pulled it out and notices a gray screen. Restarted it and I get a slight blue shadow to the Google and Padlock boot screen. Then it begins to change crazy colors and ends up fading to a gray screen. Can't boot into recovery from fastboot. Help?

Here are some pictures in order of boot.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockNrolling:
Wow, I haven't seen or heard of any defect like that in the N7 yet. I would exchange/RMA the device if I were you. It seems like an easily demonstrable problem, there shouldn't be any reason Google/a retailer wouldn't exchange it.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbcampos:
Even with the bootloader unlocked? Or do I need to somehow lock it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbcampos:
update

It actually seems as if it is partially just a screen issue. I heard a notification of an email on the N7. I believe it has actually booted up, but the display is stuck. If I tap where the notification bar would be, I heard audio feedback.

UPDATE: I suspected something was loose in display connection because of the type of problem. I knocked pretty hard on the device, and the display kicked back in. Doesn't solve the problem of being unable to boot into recovery, but it seems like it could be a display problem. Suggestion still to just get a replacement? and relock bootloader?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockNrolling:
My bad, I skimmed your post and didn't realize you could get into fastboot mode. Try turning off the N7, connecting it to a computer , and getting back to fastboot mode. You should be able to use adb to relock the boot loader. In fact, you should be able to boot into recovery from fastboot since the N7 is connected to a computer.

Good job trouble shooting the display connection! I would still personally recommend exchanging/RMA. You never know when the problem might reappear even if you "fix" it.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaycustom:
Take the back cover off and check the display ribbon cable,and all other connections are tight. They won't be able to tell that the back was removed, unless you ding it up. Might find a loose connection. May just save you the trouble of going through RMA.

Hi,

I am a software developer, installed a rom in my cellphone from this forum and have some bugs to report.

I cant! Why? I'm a new user, need 10 threads... Ok let's post some threads,

I cant! Why? 5 minute beetween eath thread.... Ok, since I love this forum's community and respect your work, let's buy the pro-xda-forum app from the store. Maybe being a premium xda-forum member I can post.

[About XDA developers] a.cid:

Seriously? Is it so difficult to get 10 USEFUL posts?

Just look around! You'll find plenty of noobs asking the same question, all you gotta do is make the day for 10 chaps...

And as a software developer, you should very well know the potential and threat of spam...

Also, the 10 post rule has a deeper meaning attached...it is there so that users inculcate a habit of assisting in the flow of knowledge...

They should realize that the journey is more important than the result...

I see that you have 3 more posts to go...do try and help out a few blokes on the way...

I don't know about others, but I am actually interested on your 11th post in the dev section...

[About XDA developers] qcho:
Think I did a useful proposal here. I read in the explanation for this noob-spam issues that if we know of a better alternative to filter users just propose it.

If you read me between lines you have a proper alternative by just letting the ones, like me, who contribute in the xda-premium app to change their user status to something less restrictive.

Don't you think it's a good idea to both enhance the app-buys and give users like me an alternative?

Don't want to mess with the forum, just report a bug since yesterday jejejeje
[About XDA developers] SimonTS:
No, I think it is a really bad idea. A total of $1 to get some sort of 'Special' status? Because the people who want to come on here purely to spam and try to get commercial crap posted won't want to pay $1 to get a quicker and easier route to doing that will they :rolleyes:
[About XDA developers] a.cid:
While your proposed idea does look good on paper, the issue of piracy pops in...

Android is the worst os when it comes to development, from an anti-piracy point of view...

Granted that piracy is rampant on other os's too, but it is much much much more than any other os of its calibre...

I can bet my whole work on xda that more than 80% of all android users have pirated an app or game or theme or whatever...

So, as I said, granting dev area access to all junior members is not such a good idea, as it would actually increase app piracy, rather than push up sales...

If I may, I actually request you to post the link of the thread you were about to post in, and the actual post that you were about to make...

I might be able to make your time on XDA easier and free of major trolls...

Also, a helpful advice:

Since the dev obviously doesn't mind getting contacted through other means (coz he did put up his contact info on the open internet), I urge you to respect other's privacy...

Thank you for your concern.

This is the ROM-post (FOXHOUND for GalaxyS3): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1708371

This is the issue:

Hi, I’m having issues with the phone-number recognition algorithm. Is there any tweak with it here o just a JellyBean error?

Here in Buenos Aires, Argentina we have this numbers: +54 11 0000-0000, if the number is a cellular phone, we add a nine like: +54 9 11 2222-2222. I have all the mobiles in my contactlist like that. But because the ’9′ is not used for internal calls, The network providers don’t forward the nine and I see +54 11 2222-2222.

So When an incoming call / sms says the number is +54 11 2222-222, The phone doesn’t show the proper contact because it’s missing the ’9′ in front of it.

In stock rom from my galaxy S3, my old iphone, and some other roms I tested I didn’t have this issue. Any ideas?

thanks!!!
[About XDA developers] a.cid:
Contrary to what I had believed, your post doesn't have a close precedent (from what I could conclude through a quick google)

While I do not know the solution or what causes such issues on your device, I can suggest a workaround...

You obviously use call log pretty much...

In my phone, there does appear an option to edit numbers before calling...what this does is simply copy-pasting the number to the dialler where you can freely edit it...

There, its a simple matter of adding a 9 in between...

P.s. I don't run jb, so the exact option may vary

[About XDA developers] qcho:
Thank you for your time looking for a fix and the workarround.

I found another one, just putting both phones in the contact works for me. Now I have my regular contacts with both with and without the '9'.

Why do you need the contact with '9' ? Because if I am abroad and have to talk to a mobile phone in my country, the 9 is a must to establish the call.

Why do you need the contact without the '9' ? Just because the phone can't recognize the contact if not.

Really appreciete the devotion in solving others issues. Keep up the good work making this forum the great place it is.
[About XDA developers] pulser_g2:
If it was an open source rom, I'm sure you could patch the framework to ignore the lack of 9 for caller id

[About XDA developers] qcho:
I've found the issue in the andoid bugs. This bug report, although, is a bit general. And many issues regarding to phone-recognition issues are exposed here.

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=23092

Something doesn't make sense, a friend of mine with stock ICS rom doesn't have the problem.

Anyway I think I'll be hacking the code when I manage to get some spare time. Thinking in adding some unit tests on this issue for the future, and make a pull request with a fix to android. Hope it gets to the custom rom by natural means xD

Thank guys!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ptfdmedic:
I love ROMs like AOKP but pure android lacks many of the extras that Samsung packs into the TW ROM. The biggest thing for me is the camera on the AOSP ROMs. I use my camera and lot and the basic camera isn't enough for me. But that's about it. I love the updates and clean feel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheManiac:
couldn't u use a app from the Google play that can almost mimick the camera app on AOSP such as procapture or Camera Zoom fx. nit trying to be mean just trying to get two sides on this thread?

In other words AOSP is the default build that is pure and unchanged from what Google puts out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dannyboyex:
I like the support and features of aosp based roms but at the same time i have to go to tw which is native to the phone because I don't have to worry about bugs or compatibility issues. Also the camera takes much better pictures on touchwiz vs aokp
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FrameCityJackal:
I think the only way to get the true google experience is to get a nexus since the proprietary drivers are already there and not much modification is needed.

TW throws the heat man I flashed codename last night played around a bit and went straight back to TW the features on it are just so more refined on this device even without root. This is the second time (1st being the Photon) I'd just prefer not to add custom roms or anything really since everything is already so smooth and already there. Maybe when CM10 goes to official builds I'll go back but by then I'll already have the Note 2 and Android 4.2 or 5.0 whatever will be out and possibly all CM10 work will stop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jesusprice:
Once CM10 is finalized I could see that being my daily driver. Touchwiz is cool but there something beautiful about the simplistic look and feel of AOSP builds
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thatisandwas:
If i flash a CM10 nightly just like normal, do i have to do anything special to go back to a touchwiz rom? Or do i just go back in recovery and restore it or install a new one?

I have been a big CM fan since I first got it on my HTC Sensation. I have to say now that I have the SIII I probably won't put CM on here. This phone is amazing just as it is, mostly. Had to root it obviously but I'm running stock rooted and I can't see myself ever changing that. Threw on derkernels alpha kernels to get some extra cpu speed. Not that it really needs it though. I absolutely love the camera. AOSP really doesnt have anything on this ROM. Which is something I never thought I'd say. On any phone.... Ever.

Sammie did a great job with TW on this bad boy. I used to flash CM for the lock screen features, notification toggles, speed, and battery life improvements. TW has all that now. Actually, its awesome but kinda sucks cuz it takes some of the excitement away from flashing new roms. Still, once JB is stable, I'll probably use AOSP more frequently.

I have the phone for two years so for the first or so year I'll stick with Twiz but the last year of this phone I'll prolly go to Google because sprint will most likely give up on updating this phone after a year so I'll venture to Google so I can have new updates hopefully.

Stock android all day, tw is ugly to me. I think it is too cluttered and just ugly. I don't understand why Samsung had to make such beautiful os so unappealing. Back in then day, I did like tw, because it looked better than android at the time. Then, Samsung just made it so heavy on the eyes, while android went opposite direction.

I love my cm10, clean, way fast, and battery life kills tw. Yea, there are couple of bugs, but I'd take those over tw. If only I could update prl.

Anyways, if we talked about stock vs sense 4.0... different story. I'd take stock still, but I wouldn't mind sense with functional multitasking too much.

For example, I love aosp MMS.apk! Tw one?! Really?! Lock screen I prefer on stock, icons, notification, everything.

Yes, tw adds some interesting features, but nothing I'd need.
