[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majorpay:
Alright, I ended up flashing the old image I used on my last Nook with the same version of win32diskimager I used back then, and still no signs of life.

Unlike the previous issues I had on my first Nook, this one shows no signs of life. No backlit deep black that you can see in the dark, nothing. So I plugged it into my tower PC and held the power for 10 seconds. The install for the OMAP 36xx processor drivers went through the process, but when done, you could not find it in the device manager. So I held the power again for 10 seconds, it showed up for a second, then went away. I repeated this process several times, and same thing each time.

Just to make sure I wasn't leaping to assumptions, I unplugged it and plugged it back into the PC, and no response. Not until I held the power down for 10 seconds again.

So what can we conclude from this? Well, either it is normal for the Nook to show up for a split second on Windows, or the Nook is powering on, then down almost instantaneously. I'm inclined to believe the latter as ordinarily holding the power down for a few seconds wouldn't *reboot* the device, but instead, it would power it down, or power it up (if it was off). Also, unplugging and replugging it in to the PC should have activated the device driver if it was staying on (assuming that isn't a momentary thing on initial startup).

What's the missing piece of the puzzle? I don't know if it's the same for all the other users that have commented, but I don't have the original cable for this device, so I cannot fast charge. A dead Nook will power on, even if drained, when the fast charge cable is used (I believe?). This is something else I will have to try when I get my hands on my dad's Nook. Is it possible that a trickle charge doesn't work below a certain point?

This was kind of my thoughts back when this first occurred - that perhaps the Nook simply lost juice during the install.

Grasping at straws? Perhaps, but straws are all I'm seeing at this point.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I think what you are seeing is the device powering on with the screen off (like it normally does), looking for boot files in SD and emmc and when seeing none, immediately powering off. That is why the brief driver showing in windows. Ordinarily if it finds those boot files, it turns the screen on and continues the boot.

Bit the bullet and grabbed my dads. It's confirmed, the SD card I recently burned works - CWR booted right up. Now for the stock cable test.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majorpay:
Stock cable confirms that the Nook will not power up at all - cable is green indicating full charge. This Nook is toast - so just coincidence that it was during flashing PA? Hard to believe, but haven't I ruled every other possibility out?

EDIT - moved the cable and it turned orange. Coworker confirmed that his Nook charger he was using wouldn't even charge a phone I loaned him. May be on to something here. I'll wait until the cable turns green.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majorpay:
I'm done...

I'm beat. Cable turned green again, and no dice. This Nook is headed for the scrap pile (unless I get a wild hair and tear it apart to re-solder some joints).
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I went back to your OP and re-read. It is very common for an installation to screw up and lock up, leaving the boot partition borked. But usually the user can boot to a bootable CWM and re-flash and it repairs it. Ordinarily I would say that the slot could have been messed up for a long time too, since a lot of users have CWM on emmc and would not know it until they needed a bootable card. But in your case the slot was working right up till after you put CWM on emmc. And your using internal memory to flash the zip from and leaving the SD in the slot is usually of no consequence. But it is remotely possible since you left the SD in and the software was running amouk, that it did something to the SD and the slot, like overcurrents or some such nonsense. I still think the not booting from SD is a slot hardware issue since your card boots on other devices and the booting code is in chip firmware.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majorpay:
Well, my solution was to tear it down and reflow the joints (didn't work). In the end, it's all good. I'm giving my dad my Galaxy Tab 2 7 because he doesn't like his Nook, and my coworker is getting the modded Nook.

I'll just hang off until there's something on the market I can't do without.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Try a Nook HD or HD+. Fantastic devices for the price.

You know, feature for feature, I'm still a fan of the Galaxy Tab 2 7" - minus the display - I've heard they are coming out with a 3, but the one thing they didn't upgrade (based on rumors) was the screen.

Samsung is known for their crisp displays. I find it extremely odd that they let it slide on their Tabs...
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
I have an original Galaxy Tab 7 and do like it. The most used thing for me on that is I have a Verizon data subscription so I have internet everywhere I go. And I can hot spot it to my HD/HD+'s and laptop.

Nook dead

Bro more and more read your experiment the more I realise how similar our problems are. The description you gave is precisely my Nook problem as well. Which makes me believe it is software issue. I have purchased nexus 7. But still miss my Nook. In terms of look Nook still beat the shut out of most tablets
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] NinjaDonkey:
Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone else is having the same problem as me.

Every now and again I'll send a text message to someone (or sometimes a few people) and then I'll get a text back from them saying that I only needed to send it once as they'd received it twice.

Now, as far as I can tell, this is gonna be eating into my text bundle (which I'm not too happy about!) and wondered if anyone else has experienced this with their device?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] merlin_uk:
I had this last night.... I sent an SMS to my Dad the day before... and last night he rang me up asking why I sent it again..... I had no idea!! Nothing to do with Orange is it?? :o
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] NinjaDonkey:
Nope, nothing to do with the Orange network as a mate of mine has just bought an O2 XDA II and he's sent a few texts which I've received twice.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] GoldenSands:
Dears, I guess you have Sbp Pocket Plus 2.0 or 2.1 installed in your xda, it creats the problem of sending doublicate messages.

The Solution???

In the options, do not use the "close" feature in Pocket Plus, simply take out the tick in the "Close" feature, then try to send SMS. Your imate, or xda, or wshatever, will work ok afterthen!!!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] NinjaDonkey:
Ahhh, right...

I'll try adding an exclusion to the list for "tmail.exe" (which is what PocketPlus identifies it as) and see if I get any more problems...

Cheers for that
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] merlin_uk:
I will give that a go myself... see if that sorts the problem.

Cheers.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] collins199820:
I don't have it (SPB Plus) but I have the same problems! ITS A CON Back in the days of free texts on Pay as u go on o2 I noticed this.... MY SMSC (Text Message Service Centre Number) had changed because I was investigating why my friends where recieving multiple copys of messages on seeing that the smsc number had changed once i had added (Whats now called a 'bolt on') to my number I changed it back to the original once that was done I STILL Recieved my free messages and the multiple copys had stopped :-)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] sheeshadevil:
this used to happen with me , i tried this solution and it worked with me

when u send any message, DO NOT exit the sms program until u get a sent message confirmation and that won't happen.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] merlin_uk:
That seems to have done the trick...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] StarFux:
Yep, adding tmail.exe to the exceptions list works like a charm - nice-1 :-)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] FOZZER:
Mine started doing this to-day ahh!!

Have added the tmail.exe to exception list hope this works :D

Okay lets clear some boring stuff out of the way.

ST25i

BL: Unlocked

Rooted

FXP 216 CM9

I was using my phone fine 7 hours ago. Absoblutely fine. I put it in my pocket and left for School.

about 4 hours ago, at lunchtime, i went on it to check XDA.

But here's the thing.

I pressed the power button. Nothing. I presumed that I had turned it off. So I pressed and held the button to turn it on. No vibration. I wasn't bothered because i thought it had just frozen. So I popped out the battery, and popped it back in. Pressed and held. Nothing. i Covered the dim LED at the side of the camera to see if the battery was dead. No LED at all. THEN i got scared.

I have no idea. None, as to what caused it or what i can do. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Guys!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] t2abousa:
Anyone else experience this? Every once in a while the lock screen just doesnt work. The notification bar slides down fine but I csnt unlock the screen. Hoping its a software thing or an app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tuffluck:
I have burn in on my S3, it is from a golf GPS app that I use frequently. I used it for about 6 months with no problems, then all of a sudden after 1 round of golf a couple of weeks ago the outlines of the app are intensely burned into my screen. I am not sure I understand why all of the sudden it became an issue, as I did not change any settings prior to the round and used it how I always used it before.

At any rate, I'm still within the year of when I purchased it from AT&T. I called AT&T and they told me my options, please let me know what you think:

1. try to get Samsung to replace (do they cover burn in?)

2. AT&T warranty center will replace with a refurbished (most reasonable option, but I've had really bad experiences with AT&T always replacing the phone with a *more* broken unit than the one it was replacing...so am scared of this)

3. AT&T says I am eligible for an upgrade, so I could get a free S3 from them or get a new S4 and pay upgrade price

4. combination of 2 & 3, get a refurbished to replace my burned in S3, sell on ebay and then upgrade to the S4--maybe someone else will have better luck with a refurb'd item, as they never work for me

What do you guys think?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
4 sounds like a good solution. Although, the S4 is like the S3s, pretty much the same phone, with some small upgrades.

You can also try your luck with a refurb and keep your upgrade for something better. Summer is coming = device release.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tuffluck:
Got a replacement yesterday. So far, so good. It even seems to work with GPS better than my previous one. Hopefully it lasts!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tuffluck:
So had the phone only a few days as a replacement from Att. Tonight it locked up and would not respond to anything and I had to reseat the battery to get it to respond. Think this is a bad sign and should I take it back or give it the full 30 day warranty??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
On stock? Or you played with it a bit (ROM and such)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gage_Hero:
I had a Galaxy 4G that used to do that all the time, the only fix was to reboot it before charging (every couple days). Depending on how much you are willing to pay I think I would go with the S4 option since you are probably only going to get refurbished phones as replacements.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tuffluck:
The replacement phone is stock...I haven't done anything to it.

Is there any phone better than the S4 anticipated to come out in the next 9 months or so? Removing the battery every now and then isn't a huge deal, though when I buttoned everything back up and put the case back on, it caused the corners of my Zagg to stretch out a little which is really annoying. I wonder if doing this repeatedly could cause the Zagg to get worse.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gage_Hero:
If Samsung keeps to it's current strategy, you will probably be looking at the s5 in a little more then 9 months....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
There are a few threads about Jelly Bean being here at last for the 7.7, well, as far as I can tell, it isn't. It is here for the P6800, but nothing for the P6810.

Is there a cogent reason for this? Or is it simply another example of the ineptitude and basic incompetence of a company that has grown too large too quickly and is simply rolling on under the weight of its own inertia?

If anyone knows anything about (official) JB for the P6810 can they put me right?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] long6688:
It certainly coming this month, cant you think straight? Once they realease for p6800 they should do one for 6810 cause they arw the same

And the question you should ask yourself is why did you buh p6810 in the first place
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] bruce16878:
3g model always get the update ahead of wifi model. No need to get jelly about the normal practise.

I'm still waiting for JB for the UAE..... Samsung has a LONG WAY TO with updating the 7.7 tab to JB. Probably won't see the official UAE rom until next year when Apple Pie is out.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] irmani:
i haven't seen the ICS update for UAE model yet

anyone knows about ICS for UAE (fully Arabic) official ROM from samsung ?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
:cyclops: Useful.

Why would I buy a 3g tablet when it is much more expensive and I have a smartphone to which I can tether?

Every so often it is nice to let off a bit of steam. Since the official UK ICS update has only just come through I don't feel too far off the mark on my coments about Samsung and a JB release.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
OK. Just tested mine. It works ! :p
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
It should come out in June, but of course this will vary by region, but a general release for some region should be June, hopefully.

I should have deleted the first part of your quote....

I was referring to the "thanks" button, which I duly hit on a user's behalf ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] scan06disk:
Some of us don't want to spend the extra money for the 3G version, I can easily and freely tether my phone which has GBs of data tht I'd otherwise never really use...

I'm a bit annoyed too, why not release JB for both since 3G has 1 extra feature, just a matter of removing that and republishing it for the P6810..., kinda lazy Samsung...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jcyber777:
4th June, still no JB on my p6810 :crying:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
It sucks so much :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] triplex76:
Oh well...still waiting for p6810 JB...dear samsung...it's really time to update this tablet.

It should have been supported best of all galaxy tab beeing the only amoled tablet in the world and still it rules in multimedia departments and in term of outdoor display visibility and just to remember... It got a FULL rgb display completely no backlighted beeing an amoled plus so it really shines even in term of battery where the amoled advanced need to be backlighted not to wear rapidly...a world of difference
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
I feel you.

Unfortunately we P6810 customers are so far down the "pecking order" that we're probably fallen off it..... :eek:

JB will come eventually for our device model, this month, this year or the next ??

But it will come. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
I hope it still comes out soon, because if it doesn't release before september for the wifi version, then there probably is a slim chance it releasing any time after that.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] triplex76:
well, I really want to keep this tablet cause of the amoled display ... but it sucks to got still ICS on a so powerfull tablet that could change from night and day from a simple software update...I hope samsung is not going to release another amoled tab and is doing that just to avoid that people keep their 'obsolete' tablets.... I really hope NO... cause the p6800,P6810 are really WELL MADE and they sold them under their real cost of production 'thanks' to apple ban!

if this tablet was not banned by apple crying it could have sold out completely beeing the best made tablet still today ... the thinner one ... the only with a full Aluminum body assembled PEFECTLY!

that's a tablet ... now samsung give us the REAL software to move that thing
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jtskier11:
They just keep pushing the JB release for the 6810 further out........... Sucks cause I liked the 7.7 alot. But it might just be time to move on!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
Nothing to move onto if you want AMOLED
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UrbanConquest:
AMOLED is overrated frankly. Certainly not worth chaining yourself to Samsung and their sluggish update cycle for their devices.

Super LCD is pretty comparable; better in sunlight I hear?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Kaiser Wilhelm II:
There's absolutely nothing on the Tablet market that offers the combination of superb screen, compactness, slimness, quality construction and battery life that the Galaxy Tab 7.7 does.

It's quite simply a premium product that was made with quality and not price as the goal. Most likely to trump the iPad at the time.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Super-S:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
At this stage I've kind of given up hope and if no update comes, I will probably move onto another brand and/or device.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UrbanConquest:
I regret not getting a Nexus 7 instead of this. A lot of the Tab 7.7 "premium" features aren't functionally impacting of the end user experience to merit the price. I think I could have managed having a tablet without microsd, metal backplate, and AMOLED screen in compromise for a tablet that actually has the latest version of Android.

Time will tell if we get JB or not...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Thvmh:
The performace of a nexus 7 is also great, and it is half the price of a tab 7.7 ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
I prefer reading on the AMOLED screen and the battery life is better in the 7.7.

I would not care so much about JB but the P6800 has it and there is no reason to ignore us.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jaevlar:
Getting kind of antsy over here. Feels like the ones with 6810 devices has been left out. Wouldn't think it would be too hard to release it for the wifi version, or does it differ that much compared to the 6800?

My 7.7 is shelfed for the time being, which is a shame since it's a really nice piece of hardware. I hope eventually JB will turn up...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Kal66:
What a bunch of moaners.

First the 7.7 came with HC "now if we only had ICS to make this thing run..."

ICS came late but lifted the 7.7. Now the tantrum repeats "my 7.7 is rubbish without JB"

I couldn't be happier with my 7.7, even if it 'only'has ICS,

I bought a Nexus 7 for my son and every time I compare them, I'm glad I have my 7.7

I can do without the water textures and Tegra games as the movie and reading quality is unsurpassed and I don't notice any differences comparing the overall speed and responsiveness.

It's a 2y old design but so ahead of its time, that it's still a desirable tablet and should be cherished.

If JB comes along for the 6810, okay, but if not then I won't enjoy my 7.7 any less than I'm doing now.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jay_993:
Good post which I do agree with.

However from my point of view, it would not take much effort From Samsung to bring JB to 6810 when they've updated the near identical 6800. Its not a matter of moaning about the performance on ICS- its more about "we should be treated equally to those that own 6800." IMO.

And yeah this tab still rocks with the amoled screen. There's no other :)

To those that say that the tab is not being used just because there's no JB for it, well either flash custom rom or just sell it and get a nexus 7. Or better, get another hobby (I said this in a polite way but hope all understands what I mean)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
Exactly :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jonamafun:
Personally I find surfing the web on my 7.7 a bit of a chore. The response and lag compared to my S3 is noticeable. I recently picked up a Surface Pro and find that 10x more enjoyable than the 7.7.

I'm retaining the 7.7 for now as it is excellent for viewing media on long-haul flights (eg. lay the screen over the airplane's screen), but I have hope that JB will give the 7.7 that little extra boost to make it better to use.

Even my S2 became noticeably more responsive with JB.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hudl:
I totally agree with you. I would sell my Tab if it wasn't that great for a long journey. Otherwise it just catches dust at home because of bad surfing experience... Too bad...

I hope that a dev will port Android 5 for our Tab that should be optimized for lower end devices. Or maybe Ubuntu. I have no hope that Samsung will take care of us though. :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
Still nothing then...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jaymit:
doesnt look like it
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UrbanConquest:
Nexus 2 to be announced soon. Tempted to sell. Probably won't get jack for this thing. $250 would be generous. Blah.

Who knows I may depart from Android altogether. I'm a bit disgusted with the update situation across all Android device manufacturers. Even my Galaxy Nexus is slow to get updates because of Verizon's testing / rollout process.

At least with Apple devices and their update cycle you don't feel left out to dry when new software is released. It's too bad iOS is inferior.

Sad no one ecosystem / mobile os is perfectly well rounded.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
Still nothing. Sigh. Nexus 7 2 looking likely. Never buy a Samsung again.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] UpInTheAir:
Regular updates requires a more "popular" device with better international exposure ......

The Note 3 might be on my 'hit list'. With octa core (v2), will be great on the battery and real "power saving mode" for those long trips.

Just hoping for a min 5.9" screen so I can finance and replace my P6810 & I9500 in one go. Any less size is not so great as dual purpose. Traveling with one device would be more beneficial and acceptable for watching media (among other things) long-term.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
They have released for the Tab 7.7 3G so there are simply no excuses the Wifi version has been excluded.
