[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick Fury:
Well the reason why it keep swapping between the 2 is because of poor signal.

But if you goto SETTINGS---MOBILE NETWORKS---NETWORK OPERATORS then wait for it to search then a list of networks will appear.

Select T-MOBILE and it will register you on that network and should find things much quicker.

Be warned though that once your in a lower signal area you will drop to sowing both and will need to do the process again.

And may be worth doing this process everytime you reboot the phone even if its showing as just the one.

I personally have to do this and find that when my network is showing as both then i get browsing speeds only. But when i register it on just T-Mobile then everything like download and streaming are perfectly fast
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erosinelysium:
Damn. Do you think when tmo and orange become ee that it will be a permanent solution?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick Fury:
Yeah because Orange and Tmob will be gone and only EE in its place so yes i can see signal stregth becoming stronger and stable. Rather than swapping between the two all the time.

Thanks for the apps! I've used the bing configurator for awhile now but it has stopped working for me. It will no longer let me change the picture. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it but nothing. I've also tried the new release and it still won't work. I'm running a fully unlocked HTC HD7 with a custom 7.8 rom. Even though the rom is fully unlocked, I tried trusting it in WP7 Root Tools but still nothing. Any ideas? Thanks!

Turn off phone.

Turn on phone.

When ou see the sony logo...

a) Keep pressing the back key, or

When I say keep pressing, you need to press, let go, press, let go, press......etc

Nice!

Nice!

just one note - my book covers no longer showed, when I restored AFfileDownloadService.apk then the book covers were visible again - on NSTGL
[Nook Touch General] David0226:
Good work. This does make one wonder why B&N would leave things like Musik.apk and Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk on a device that doesn't have these capabilities.

Has anyone yet determined everything that can be removed from init.rc? I have looked at it several times and there appears to be a lot of junk in there. I am wondering if we could see an increase in battery life and/or performance by getting all unnecessary services turned off.
[Nook Touch General] b-m-n:
reader-app

hi,

good alternative imho is the Mantano Reader

> mantano.com/mantano-reader-for-android

has some outstanding features and PDF-rendering is the best I have seen so far
[Nook Touch General] jam_dev:
updated thread

@ladykayaker

Updated the HowTo, to include a hint/warning that deleting AFfileDownloadService.apk will result in losing book covers

(I do not browse by book covers as there's too much scrolling!)

@David0226

B&N just took the same system from Nook Color and adapted it to an e-ink perl display screen

they only did the bare minimum changes needed to reduce cycletime/turnaround for their product

Reg. further battery optimization, there are 2 major power suckers in any device

a) the CPU (which we scaled to 300 MHz, undervolting is not advisable)

b) screen (using eInk display so its already low)

we optimized the sleep function to ensure the 2 major power hogs are under control

any other power usage reduction from killing idle process will not have a statistically significant benefit, (i think)

better you go for an extended battery pack instead

@b-m-n

I've included mantano readed as pointed out by you in the HowTo

though reading PDF is very painful on 6inch screen, either lots of squinting or lots of scrolling

Do let us all know how the battery usage is after using the HowTo

cheers!
[Nook Touch General] ladykayaker:
@jam_dev

I have finally figured out how to remove DRM from the various ebooks, kindle, epub, etc using calibre.

So I am now converted to only using Calibre.

Now that I have deleted all the apks you suggest, and am using only Calibre I have four books that I purchased through B&N which are still showing in the library.

At my account at B&N I have archived these four books - so they are not showing up as active books at my B&N online account.

On the nook, I deleted the books from /data/media/B&N downloads.

I have deleted the files from /sdcard/.docthumbs

I have removed all the calibre books from my nook.

So now I don't have any books on my nook.

But my nook library still lists the four books that I had purchased from B&N - with the irritating option to download them.

Now that the function to download from B&N has been removed I can no longer sync to B&N. I tried copying the apks back into /system/app but the funtion to sync with B&N is not working anymore - even after copying the apks back.

Is there somewhere the info regarding these B&N books is being stored so that I can clean that as well?
[Nook Touch General] teran_swe:
Awesome! I've had trouble with battery drain since rooting and this solves it completely.

If I accidentally (old habits die hard...) press the power button my NST will drain battery faster in sleep. Ok, but what happens after that? What if I wake the NST, read some and then want to put it to sleep. Can I then just leave it and the auto sleep in battery saving mode will happen again? Or do I need to go through the CPU utility steps again?
[Nook Touch General] tendousj:
I accidentally delte the line above the

[Nook Touch General] jam_dev:
@ladykayaker

Sorry, no idea, i haven't really botherd with the B&N side of the stuff, busy reading instead

@teran_swe

it's automatic, you need not do the reset cpu freq.steps all over again, just let it go back to sleep on its own

@tendousj

original file(<root>/lib/egl/egl.cfg) contains the following two lines

0 0 android

Problems wuth N2E 1.1 and Home screen

I tried the above with a nook touch 1.1.0 rooted with touch nooter 1.11.20.

After that, whenever I went back to nook's launcher home screen (you now, pressing "u" inverted button and then the "Home" icon) I got an error message. :(

Anybody else had this problem, or after this procedure we are no longer supposed to use some of the nook native apps? :confused:
[Nook Touch General] miguelitu:
I just got a Nook UK in the last sale and it's my first one, so I'm a total noob to the e-book world.

However, I'm an android user and rom flashing addicted for long, so since I got my reader I've only been tweaking it and haven't actually read a word... haha.

So, already updated to 1.2.1, rooted, kernel tweaks and the whole lot. I haven't installed gapps on it to keep it minimal as possible, I'm dowloading the apks on my phone and installing via ADB.

So, on to the question:

by removing all these B&N apps does it mean I won't be able to sync/buy from their store?

I'm already getting to know Calibre and checking other places to buy books, but it looks like that if I remove the apps and one day would like to buy from B&N again the only option would be to re-install the apps in order to get the ebook or am I missing something?

tl;dr

Want to keep my NST minimal and remove all clutter, but:

how do you guys manage your ebooks and where do you buy them from without the B&N apps and what to do If I ever want to buy from them again?
[Nook Touch General] smayonak:
Deep Sleep Battery Saver sleeps the kernel whenever the screen gets shut off. It's also highly configurable.

I've been using it to sleep the Nook using the power button. I haven't been following my battery life all that closely, but it seems to reduce battery consumption, substantially.

But it also functions as a background task-killer. If you buy the pro version, you can whitelist which apps get killed.
[Nook Touch General] Joydeck:
BnCloudRequestSvc.apk

Shop.apk​

I found the without these two apps, the Nook reader had a couple of minor hiccups. Neither the More… menu entry nor double clicking on a book in Library gave book details, for my side-loaded books. I reinstalled the two apk files.
[Nook Touch General] rjac:
Hi,

I have recently brought the Nook Simple Touch and have routed it using NookManaager 0.5.0. I've been unable to remove the files listed below as they appeared to be in use. I installed TaskXP so I could easily see and kill the running apps so I could then try again but to no avail.

I then reset to stock 2.1, used the Factory option so as not to require registration at all, then rooted and tried again, but again these files are not removable, I have tried both with the reader being connected to the PC and using windows file manager and on the device using the ReLaunch file manage or ES File Explorer but again I am unable to remove these files.... as my device stands at the moment It's discharging at about 1.5 - 2% per hour even when not used.

Any advice on why I might not be able to remove these files would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Robert.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hummer010:
I'm running the latest cm9 nightly, and I'd like to tether my touchpad to my nexus s using Bluetooth. I know I can use a WiFi hotspot, but Bluetooth tethering is way better for battery life on my phone.

I paired the devices, and the only configuration option for the connection is "Internet Connection Sharing". The devices connect just fine, the notification Bluetooth symbol is blue on both devices (indicating that they are connected), and the phone has the notification icon indicating that Bluetooth tethering is active.

The problem is, the touchpad always says it has no internet connection, and no apps have internet access.

When I end the Bluetooth connection, the Touchpad reboots.

Is it possible to do Bluetooth tethering with the touchpad, and if so, how do I do it?
