[Nook Touch General] recklesstryg:
I had my rooted Nook Simple Touch froze on me.

Series of events:

1) I thought it needed to be charged

-So I charged it

-Still Frozen but would restart when I plugged it back in

2) I thought the root had cause something so I reformatted it using: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1289233

-Still Frozen when unplugged and restart on being replugged in

3) Reformatted again for good measure then rooted using: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1343143

-Still frozen

4) Called B&N tech Support: No help, cycle nook, turn off, cycle nook, turn off, no change, said to let it power down to 20% and that you should only charge for 3-4 hours and that you can over charge the unit??????, thanks anyways.

5) Used Ifixit.com teardown to see if there was something going on inside: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nook+Simple+Touch+with+GlowLight+Teardown/9301/1

-Took off back, upplugged battery

-Found nothing loose or broken inside

-Found a port for a cell antenna, interesting

-Unplugged the screen from the motherboard

-Put it back together

-TADA!! it works again. I think that hard resetting the battery did the trick but also voided any warranty I had. (which was none since it is over 1 year old.

I searched for a resolution to this problem everywhere and could not find one so I am putting one here. Thank you for your time.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wmorrow:
While I was replacing the LCD on my HOX I ended up breaking off one of the metal pins that presses into the housing. I think that they are for the antennas. I was thinking just some super glue or something like that but I didn't know about if it needed to be conductive.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
Any way you could post a pic?

I'm trying to think what metal pins you talking about

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

Tinfoil is the best and cheapest conductor in those cases.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] wmorrow:
Here is pics of what i am talking about
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Yes, it needs to be conductive. Soldering is going to be your best bet. I've broke them off a few times and janky fixes never work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] subarudroid:
+1 that is definitely a solder job there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tachi91:
Those same pins broke off on mine and the Wifi signal just took a dive and is horrible! (as in the router is 2ft away and i get only 1 bar 80-90db) I tried soldiering with some wires to the contacts on the back case and the signal got better, but not how it was before.

Is there more specific wires or methods that would make it better?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
I would solder to the board, not the case:what:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Tachi91:
When the actual pins are useless/lost then how would you make contact with the antenna in the case? Get to wires and solder one end to the actual contact on the board and the other end to the antenna contact on the case.

In my case the pins were snapped and flew out so i soldered two short cables, the signal is better, but as good as it was.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
I didn't know you didn't have the prongs. In that case, I would probably use tinfoil, as was mentioned previously. Here's a trick to get it to stay in its proper place if your interested.

1. Solder a length of .031 solder to the board, where your prong broke. (Pics are for general example only)

2. Take a 2in x 2in piece of foil and fold it one direction in 1/16in. Folds. Then pinch it around base of solder wire. Fold it around until you foil is the same width as the broken prong(foil height should be slightly higher than prong because it will compact and we need a good contact with the body when reassembled

Snip any excess foil off, snip off extra length of solder wire, but leave about 1/4in extra. Use your solder iron and melt down excess 1/4in of solder into the foil, don't leave beading on top.

Check and make sure its held well into place and carefully insert phone back into its body
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vintage144:
My biggest issue is the money , the only thing that the note 2 has is the newer OS and multitasking and slightly larger screen size , Im assuming you can root, and or custom recovery /boot loader / rom with the Note , having said that , is it a better deal ,? I can see getting a refurb of this model ,49 bucks as opposed to a new note 2 at $250
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpcdeux:
Little features here and there. Slightly better screen, faster but nothing rooting can't cure. Im in no rush to upgrade
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Hammerfest:
if your a first time buyer... for you I would say the Note 2...

Money is the issue as you said, and myself personally cannot stand the switch to 16:9 from 16:10..

BUT, for almost everything else, its worth it... going from the crappy S3 that powers the i717 (the US branded versions at least) to Samsungs own chip... an extra GB of ram and so much more in the software department (the AT&T GNotes ICS is a plagued beast... runs like trash comparatively)...

The Notification LED (why the hell they didnt have it in the OG note is beyond me), the bigger SPen...

TBQH, the ONLY thing I dont like about the Galaxy Note 2 is the change in aspect ratio and loss of PPI due to it... thats it! Nothing else can I dislike about it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlackZenith:
A reason to skip it besides money? The Note 2 being more narrow and a lower resolution are the only things I can think of (like Hammerfest mentioned). Since you don't even have the Note 1, you should be fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] uwannabananababy:
i717

For my two pennies. I say passing up on a Note i717 , would be a mistake, let alone avoiding Note 2. Lots of GREAT offerings can be found in this neck of the woods.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlackZenith:
No one has suggested he pass up on both... It's an "either or" question. So the only reason to get the Note 1 over the 2 would be because of the size (narrow), aspect ratio (decreased), pixel density (decreased), and price... but the OP said not to consider the price difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Vintage144:
The reason I say this ,is rom development and kernal development , I mean I couldnt tell ya when the last time I had something stock was, ,stock lasts about a week on phones and tablets for me, my current phone is Samsung Focus 1st gen Win7 phone with the 7.8 rom on it , its a nice phone ,however the screen size is too small and yes Ive considered the Nokia 920 , but rom development is really slow ,Microsoft wont release the api's so its a difficult learning curve , my Table is an Acer a500 its running ICS right now and I continually change out roms , the price point is an issue , I can get the nokia 920 as an upgrade for like 50 bucks and the OG Note for 150 , I just think in terms of how far can I stretch the technology (my phone and tab are examples) , sure the latest and greatest are fun if I had the money but I dont , the screen is what gives it away for me , just seeing it is enough to make me a believer (plus I have big hands )!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BlackZenith:
I think if you are concerned about ROMs then you may be better off with the Note 1. It seems to me that the Note 2 is heavy on Touchwiz (Spen and multitasking), and you could potentially blow all that out of the water with a ROM. Plus, the Note 2 is divided into so many different variants that development may take a hit depending on the popularity of the one you end up buying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] uwannabananababy:
BlackZenith states my point of view much better than I. i717, large and in charge, for some time now. Proven reliability, tonnes of groundwork laid thanks to the hard work of all the DEVS around here, some super sweet ROM/mod offerings. No signs of slowing, perhaps just at it's beginning. Very grateful to be enjoying it all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] flash515:
I have a note l and from my look at the note ll if you can afford I would go with the ll. I like the larger pen a lot and with what I see as close to the end in development for note1 the whiz people will switch there talents over to the ll.

Gots my beer goggles on!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kornklown69:
I have the OG note and love it but im passing on the note 2 (even though I have an upgrade) because next year is the year of the 1080p screens on phones...and the note 3 should be very attractive if thats the case... Ill just save my upgrade and get the already subsidized nexus 4 from Google to keep the cravings for new phones down lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sag7392:
At first, I was going to flip my OG Note for the Note 2. But, I decided to wait this one out. My OG Note is running FJ's AOSPxXx-ICS ROM right now and it feels good. I can only imagine how a custom CM based JB ROM will feel like (waiting for the source to be released, before I flash a JB ROM now) With that around the corner, that's why I'd rather wait to see what the Note 3 or the S4 for that matter (talks of a 5" screen on it...which I could do). Technology changes so quickly...devices are old before the ink dries on the manifest.

So if I were you, go with Note 2...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jelliottz:
If money weren't an object, I would go with the Note II. The battery life alone seals the deal for me. Add in the processor and improved S-Pen apps and its the obvious choice to me.

Now, I have the Note I and am very happy. Development is strong and we have a new base for TW ROMs coming from the gt7005. JB will come soon enough and well have most of the features of the Note II.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SifJar:
So I am considering possibly installing one the CM ROMs on my Explorer (I guess CM10 if there's a stable ROM). However, I don't want to lose any of my apps or data (e.g. saves in games, settings in various apps, messages, contacts etc.). Right now I am on stock ROM with DarkTremor's a2sd script and all my apps and data on the SD-EXT partition. What would be the best method to make the transition? Backup all apps with Titanium Backup and restore once I install the new ROM? Or is there some way to install a new ROM and keep the apps on my EXT partition working?

If there's no easy way to do it, I'll probably stick to stock ROM. I don't really want to have to reinstall all my apps manually.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] xpmode:
Some of your data is in sdcard, so no worries, contacts should be synced to Google, and messages can be backed up with Titanium Backup(Pro?).

Titanium Backup Free can back up and restore apps and app data(includes settings), but not batch, so you have to get Pro or back up/restore all your apps one by one.

However, transition from Sense GB to CM JB/ICS is super-massive, so don't report any bugs if you choose to restore system data.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] hsn97:
Titanium backup is the best tool for backup and restoring apps. Get the Pro version its worth it, i change ROMs like in a day or two so i always have a backup with data of all my apps and whether u are coming from gb to ics/jb or going back to gb , just restore the apps. And dont ever restore system apps on a new ROM it is not recommended and csn create instability.

I hope this helps :)

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] SifJar:
I already have TB Pro, so no worries there. Thanks for the reassurance, I may look into this further. I've been getting more and more fed up of GB when I keep seeing new devices with ICS or JB, think it might be time to make the switch.

So I can restore all user apps and data, but I should leave out system data? Sounds OK, I don't think I'll lose much by not restoring system data.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
Yup I do the same.. Just the system apps.. and keep a copy of the titanium backup ( with apk as i use the free version ) on my comp.. System data wont mostly restore as GB and CM10 are almost incompatible.. you will get loads of fcs..

Hit thanks If i helped !
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] satvik7star:
you do not restore system data on any ROM. It will cause FCs. You should only restore apps and app data

Are you using the file that is stated in the post you referenced? Im no unbricking expert but Not sure putting verizon firmware on a tmo phone works very well...

Also I had a problem with Odin awhile back and it turned out to be the cable I was using...

If you can get into download mode and have odin recognize your phone I believe you will be good to go if you put the correct software on your phone...

Think you should try to Odin back to a stock firmware for your phone instead of using some sort of "unbrick" method... use only one from this post

Flash to Froyo as games don't work as well on cm7.
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] tanmoyc:
Hi buddy you can flash back to froyo but to be true you wont be able to play most of the games in this list even in froyo and for angry bird space like games you have to get back to eclair or 2.1 Rom with has been better

in NFS Shift, I get complete white textures : you will get the same problem even in froyo as i have tested it

In Gangstar West Coast Hustle, its not white but everything seems plane....only far away buildings in a haze can be seen : it will lag like a hell so its better to not to play this game

In Assassin's Creed Altair's Chronicles, again everything white...........: and 3d version doesnt work better try 2d version of this game it works very well and you even enjoy it

In Raging Thunder 2, i didn't have any problem in run it in froyo or cm7 i thing your using non oc version because of with your getting so much of lags i would recommend you to use oc kernel with froyo if your looking for gaming

In HAWX, white airplane and moronic ground with boxes. ya use have to live with is because of bad gpu ( i got it bit solve when i used chainfire instead of per app setting i use default setting with qualcomm plugin and oc kernel set at performance ...

In Angry Birds, 1 use froyo Everything will work .Angry bird Space - works very well in eclair and there are white texture but playable in froyo - Black Screen wont work and samsung galaxy 3

In Dead Space, our gpu wont support this game as were your seeing white texture could be solved with chainfire but to some extent were you see black texture gpu wont render it at all

From My side

Brothers in arm is good game but will lag a bit to run this game use froyo or eclair with chainfire qualcomm drivers and reduce texture if ur using froyo use oc kernel.

my conclusion if you rele want to use your phone for gaming and can live with low memory use eclair and if you want to do medium gaming then froyo is best ........................for more info about games checkout below links
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] Arjav23:
But eclair isn't that cool
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] tanmoyc:
ya it isnt best of rom but for our phone eclair is best if you want to do gaming as texture reproduction is best in eclair and games like angry bird space cud be played in 2.1 with very few white textures but point to be consider is that it isnt fast it is laggy and outdated and if your considering eclair for gaming remember that there aren't many games out there which supports eclair :cowboy:

This is just so annoying.

I was playing a game on FPSE during the lunch break. At 13:30, back to work, did not have the opportunity to save my game. Nevermind, I just put the telephone on screen saver / lock screen so that I can continue later, after the work.

...

...

...

Meanwhile I received a text. Fine, I can read it and possibly answer to it... Android is supposed to hadle multitask rather well after all.

...

...

...

Pwned.

After texting, back to FPSE, just to check and make sure that it's still on... Just to notice that the app has been killed by Android...

This is sooo annoying. It's supposed to be mobile phone specialized in gaming. You should be able to interrupt your game to answer a call or a message!!!

I previously owned a Nokia N8 Powered by Symbian^3. It was much much more efficient. Could lauch many apps without worrying of the multitaking. Apps where running in the background, not simply killed by the OS...

Any similar experience to share guys? (or solution, but I doubt there is any...)
