[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] gmicalzoma:
I'm sad to report that there is no MHL (video out) from the Nook HD+ using a female USB adapter and USB to MHL HDMI adapter. This usually works great with most tablets and phones. I even used a 5 pin to 11 pin adapter (USB pinnage setup that newer Galaxy products use Galaxy 3, 4 Note 2, 3, 8, etc.) but no luck.

The capability is there since B&N have an HDMI adapter, so I guess it needs a hack on the ROM like the one verygreen did to enable USB OTG (USB host) on CM.

There is a coupon for 20% off on accesories that ttablet posted and it works since I personally checked online against the purchase of the HDMI Adapter. The coupon is good until Octorber 14, 2013:

20% Discount on Nook Accessories

B&N is having a "Friends & Family" promotion, good for 20% on a single item, through October 14th. Nooks themselves (and Nook content) are excluded, but it appears that Nook accessories that are not already discounted are part of the promo.

The email I got from B&N also says "share this coupon with everyone you know". Promo code is FRIENDNFAM, enter it at checkout at BN.com; it appears that you can also print a coupon that could be used in a store.

20% is nothing. these are being cleared out at target for like $12 http://slickdeals.net/f/6301748-noo...7-48-and-other-random-cases-for-70-off-target

Which Rom has the best performance using HDMI?

I am using the Tweaked Xperia Rom. however HDMI does not work [or my adapter doesn't]. I am happy with the rom except for this feature. Which rom offers the best performance and can output a satisfactory video using the HDMI adapter?

And thanks for any help ahead of time.

Gaming?

How does it do with HDMI streaming of emulators/games from stock OS? I guess I'm also curious how it does on cynagenmod but less so. Does it handle different game resolutions well/can it do HD or is it locked to a specific resolution?

Anything helps. Thanks.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] hallacienda:
I tried using this on my TV streaming Netflix the other night and it seems much worse compared to streaming on my MacBook Air (2013). Is this with the Netflix app or is this with the cable, or with the tablet itself? Has anybody seen this kind of issue? Any tip to resolve this would be appreciated!
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] MrCamby:
I have the HDMI adapter and found these differences streaming netflix to my 51" Samsung Plasma Display:

When streaming using any version of Cyanogenmod, the video would intermittantly lock up, then display again, etc....

When streaming using Stock 2.1.1 it played perfectly, not hiccups, audio is synced, etc.

I did notice another difference between CM and Stock:

CM streaming netfilx displays on both the TV and the Nook

Stock streaming netflix turns off the Nook display while streaming to the TV

IMO I think that is the reason for CM10 issues. It has to power two displays with the same content, basically doubling the bandwidth the gpu needs to output.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] Guiyoforward:
Hi, thanks for the reports. Two quick questions - thanks in advance.

1-Is sound out through hdmi ok with cm or only video?

2-Anyone found how to disable the nook screen so all processing power goes to the TV image on CM?
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] jeober:
I get sound through HDMI (CM10.2).

My video app has a screen wipe control for brightness. I just fully turn it down (almost dark). This would be for battery life, not processing power.

Because the adapter retention reliability is so poor, I use a couple of long rubber bands to hold it in place. Otherwise, I couldn't breathe on it and still hold a connection.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] twe69:
Out of interest, are these HDMI cables now rare to find instore?

I am heading to New York, from the UK, next week and thought of hunting one down whilst doing my normal shopping, thanks!
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] Ashenfall:
One thing I found is that it 'scales down' the display of my Nook HD+ to the TV screen, so things aren't quite as crisp and the left and right borders are black - is there any way to change the resolution so it's the same as the TV? I did try Resolution Changer, but that didn't work.

It displays it fine with multimedia content, but the scaling and cutoff is slightly bothersome when not playing video.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] ritchea:
From my limited experience, I will say "maybe." You may want to check out availability online. I know Target sometimes carries them. Of course, check out Barnes and Noble. Some Walmart stores also have them. If you know the postal zip code for where you'll be visiting, you can check out availability before arriving.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] twe69:
Thanks, good timing too as leaving in the morning. Will try and search later on tonight or over there as I will have Internet access.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] twe69:
Didn't get a chance to go to Target etc, but walked past a Barnes & Noble store and just bought one for retail. Still making my money back in future since it never got released in the UK.

Hi does anyone know where i can get a cheaper hdmi adapter for nook hd+? Everything seems to be at least around USD40. Thx
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] jpisini:
They are proprietary so you have to buy the one particular one. Try eBay maybe someone is selling theirs otherwise keep an eye out around fathers day they tend to go on sale then. No guarantees.
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] long2ski:
I'm running 10.2.1 and my adapter works great. I didn't do a full test but a sample video worked on my flat screen,
[Nook HD, HD+ Accessories] Jon Lee:
I haven't tested this much...

First check this out:

http://omappedia.org/wiki/Bootargs_for_enabling_display

Create a new file in /system/xbin, make it executable.

give it these lines:

#!/system/bin/sh

echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/omapdss/display0/enabled

Then when you run that file, it will turn the screen off. It takes several key presses of the power button to get the screen to come back on...

There may be a better more elegant solution, perhaps to cut power off to the screen entirely. Or map it to a gesture or something. I'll leave that for someone else to figure out.

The only reason I did this is that when playing 2k videos, hdmi would stutter. I figured it was because it was playing 2K on the LCD but having to down convert the video for HDMI. Perhaps this will help?

from last 10years i was using Nokia (3230, 5130, 2700, 5230 etc) This year i bought Micromax A100 and this is my 1st android device. After using 10 days i felt ANDROID sucks. Its laggy after installing 30-40 apps, RAM always show 50-90mb free. After minimizing opera min, dolphin browser and switching back to that app makes reload page again. :(

I think ANDROID is made for those high end cellphone which have higher hardware configuration i.e: 2GB RAM, 1GB DUAL CORE proccy etc.

i was very happy with old Nokia 5230
[General Topics] daemonfox:
Try a different Android

Not quite sure who sold you on the Micromax A100 but you picked a horrible device for a starter Android experience. The reviews are horrible and if you are coming from a cooked down Nokia environment, then you will be disappointed with a device like this.

I do not know your region or carrier but there are much better devices running Android from Samsung and others that would be around the same you paid for the Micromax A100... ranging from free to $99.

You could buy a budget device like xperia live with walkman it cost about the same. (maybe lower)

Just search before you buy.
[General Topics] Nooblit:
As a lot of other people have stated in the thread, the Micromax A100 is a pretty terrible device that's not even optimized for the android version that it runs. The gift and curse of affordable android is that 99 times out of 100 it won't be a super duper fantastic experience like say... getting an iphone would, but the good part about android is that there are affordable devices that do most of the same things. Not all, like higher end games and all that jazz, but most. If you want to have an amazing experience with a phone in general, you're looking at spending at least 400 smackers on a device with all the right specs running the latest possible android version.

[General Topics] Pennycake:
Download a root checker app? I know some are really easy to root, but I wouldn't trust something of I didn't understand what it was doing in the fist place.

I don't really know what you can do to make your phone "faster". Maybe there are custom ROMs for it that could help a bit, removing bloat, et cetera - but they are things that will make small differences, not huge ones.

You can't add more RAM, so re-draws and such are inevitable unless bloatware is taking up a huge, huge part of that.

And, yeah, an OS and the hardware are hugely connected. You could put Windows 7 on an underpowered machine and watch it lag and freeze and struggle - but can you really judge it from that?

Since you have rooted already , uninstall any micromax bloatware that your phone might have been shipped with. Use opera mini instead of dolphin browser. Get rid of most of the widgets that you seldom use. I used Samsung Galaxy 5 for a year on gingerbread , I know what you are talking about.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tcsheen:
Just a quick question. The stable CM10 for our vzd2w devices is dated for 11-13-2012. I feel I should know this, but I am wondering, are the nightlies, say, for today, 12-08 more stable than the stable candidate released almost a month ago?

Is that the point of nightlies? To fix bugs and improve anything on previous candidates?

Do nightlies sometimes present with new issues/bugs?

Again, I know I should know this, but I NEED clarification as a search of any kind leads me to the nightly download site or ROMs based on the nightly releases. These questions are not addressed.

Thanks for your replies!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OneNutShort:
In general the nightlies are completely usable. They are used as a means for the cm10 team to test new features, and attempt to squash bugs. With software development when changes are made it is not uncommon for new and unforseen bugs to arise, its sort of a game of cat and mouse. Because of this, every so often things that had worked fine previously become broken in one nightly and are then promptly fixed in the next. For the last month or more the cm10 nightly builds have suffered from a host of bluetooth, microphone, nfc, and screen wake issues that seem to vary in severity from one nightly to the next. Some of these problems have been found to have flashable fixes, others do not. For many, myself included, this is the simply the price of being on the cutting edge of Android development. If this doesn't sound appealing then perhaps the stable builds are the way to go. Keep in mind that although the stable builds tend to be more reliable, they do have their fair share of bugs and glitches, some of which have since been sorted out on the nightlies. Either way cm10 is a far slicker experience than touchwiz, and in my opinion, the way to go. Just an fyi, I have dirty flashed one nightly to the next without incident, and if thats the route you decide to go it could save you some time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] willy221387:
i think stable is better... nightlies can work or not, so hit and miss....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Chris123NT:
I have personally never had a problem with the CM10 nightlies, and I have been using them for a couple of weeks now. But your experience may vary depending on your setup.

Good rule of thumb is if you're not prepared to deal with any issues that could arise then stick with stable. I always seem to have a few builds on my SD card and a titanium backup in case things really go sideways on me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funnyperson1:
It depends on what your priorities are with this phone. For example the same 11/10 nightly was the last one without the bluetooth low bass bug, but but the 12/06 and newer nightlies have improved data drops for a bunch of people. If you rely on mobile data a lot the 12/08 nightly might be the one for you to try, but if you do a lot of bluetooth streaming then maybe the 11/10 nightly would work best for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zenboy444:
CM10

I switch from ICS to CM10 nightlies, which was for the most part a great daily driver. Then I flashed the new Jellybean leak and battery life was great (50% more than CM10) but I lost bluetooth. Last CM10 I used was in mid October. Has the battery life improved in the last 2 months?

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nukezone:
Got my TF300T this monday and it worked fine so I though of unlocking the bootloader, root it and switch ROM. Got all of that working but after a while i got a little tires at the resolution/DPI of the screen so I thought if just re-flash the ROM as I got the option to set the DPI before the flashing process. As I said it worked fine and all until I restarted to the recovery mode (TWRP recovery if you wonder). When recovery mode started, the screen just refused to react, it's like its dead completely. I had the tablet working for two full days and it just died after a reboot. I also tried using the fastboot to push back the old stock firmware onto it without any luck. The stock os works, but the screen still refuses any input. I don't have the keyboard and neither do I have extra money to buy one so I can not try using a mouse, not that i'd like that solution anyway.

Have anyone else experienced this and know how to solve it, or will I have to return it to Asus and hope they will repair it for free even though the bootloader is unlocked?

I unlocked with Asus original bootloader unlock app.

ROM: Clean ROM 2.6

Hello everyone. I flashed KT747 AOSP JB. CWM install it completelly, after reboot the phone passed the second samsung logo and just a black screen came on and nothing else happened for several minutes. Leaving the power button pressed or power, home, volume up just restarted the phone then going back to the black screen. During that time i was ****ting bricks "literally", I hard bricked this phone not long ago trying to install a rom, and i sent it to samsung in texas and after two long incomunicated weeks they fix it and send it back.

Finally I decided to remove the battery and reinstall it. Thank the almighty I was able to boot into cwm recovery and restore from stock backup.

PHEEWWW!!!! I came back to life. But im freaked out and i want to try this kernel.

Does anyone has a clue on what could be wrong?

I tried to post on the KT747 thread but since im new member they wont let me.

Thanks all in advance for your help

Search please.

This means your phone cannot handle the kernel. Done and done.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] llanero75:
I did search and I also read a lot. This kernel is supposed to be for At&t i747, which is the model that i have.

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] c_86:
Yes it is. But if you did really read a lot then you would know not all chips are made the same and some people have reported that the kernel doesn't work. And after a exchange for a new one/phone, it does work. Which simply means the hardware aka chip cannot handle a custom kernel. So you're stock with the stock kernel.

Hi Guys,

I know that a lot of people hate verizon's skype. I like it because it has the BT working and is using a phone not data.

Minutes are not considered toward monthly cap and it is very reliable as far as a connection goes .

Unfortunately it says not supported by this device. Use the other.

The normal skype app is not that good, resource consuming BT does not work, and it eat up a lot of data.

Esp bad when moving or insinde some buildings where signal is poorer.

My questions is if it could be modded to work on note 2.

On my GN works fine.

Many thanks
