[Nook Touch General] JaGrab3:
Hi,

I got brand new nook and it's totally bricked. Charge diode is green.

So I tried all kind of resets, and then checked battery.

It has only 0.5V - means is totally empty. So, I tried to connect Nokia battery - and Nook booted, and now is able to charge!

It looks like nook can't start charging when battery is totally empty.

My nook has 2010 date inside, it looks like for three years battery was totally discharged....

Now i've connected battery directly to charge, if it not hels, I will connect phone battery :).
[Nook Touch General] Feuerbard:
i have another with 0.0v battery on arrive - it charge in turnigy charger and get 1210mah capacity and nook boot ok
[Nook Touch General] JaGrab3:
Hi,

i've bought battery replacement (1900mah). Nook is running fine, but, problem is, that nook is not charging this battery.

Orange indicator is lighting, but in settings showing : not charging.

I've tried vipe battery stats (after rooting), no success.

Any suggestions?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
UsbMode.apk does (among other things) battery stats and charger control.

You will need superuser.apk to be able to use the charge buttons on it.

Download in the signature.

Report what it says with just the battery, with the charger, with 1.5A pushed.
[Nook Touch General] JaGrab3:
Hi, thanks for this app.

Battery: Auto (AC) 1.5A (AC)

Status: Discharging Not Charging Not Charging

Health: Unknown Unknown Unknown

Regulator: disabled enabled enabled

Max Current: Auto Auto 1.5

Battery: 3,875V 61% the same the same

Temp: -2C (28F) the same the same

Maybe measured temperature is too low, and thats why charger not charaging....

Real temperature is about 23C.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Temperature is a tricky thing.

B&N got the Nook Simple Touch wrong between the hardware driver and the Android system.

The units are supposed to be in tenths of degrees Celcius.

B&N had it in full degrees Celcius.

I don't know whether B&N fixed it in the Nook Glowlight 2.

Using the Nook Touch as a guide I got it all wrong.

Using another Android device I thought that maybe somebody thought it was degrees Kelvin.

So if there was an absurd number, it subtracted 273 degrees.

So -2 could be the reading for 27.5 C x 10 - 273

Is your Nook a Touch or Glow 1 or Glow 2?

If the system really thought that your battery was that cold it would not charge it.

If it's a Touch with stock software then it could possibly be that the battery thermistor is open/disconnected.

Keep trying to charge and see if the temp or the percentage goes up.

The latest UsbMode (not posted) will look at software version to accommodate this bug.

Have you taken this thing apart already?

If so, can you measure the resistance from the green to black and yellow to black on the battery?
[Nook Touch General] JaGrab3:
Hi, thanks for reply.

My nook is simple touch.

So, I measured resistance, but I have different colours (white and yellow), and I do not remember which was wchich (I don't have nook with me).

Resistance between closer connector to black and black - 100Ohm.

Resistance between closer connector to red and black - break.

Temerature is usually -2C, sometimes -1C :).

Long charging not helping....

Maybe I can disable checking battery temperature somehow? There is any config file in system with that?
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Ouch, don't measure anything to the red!

Black is the same as black.

Red is the same as red.

Here's a photo: http://dl.xda-developers.com/attach...171015bfc/52d6289c/2/0/4/1/2/7/8/nook6pin.jpg

The two resistances between the 3rd wire to the black wire(s) and the 4 wire to the black wire(s) should be 30k and 10k (or so) respectively.
[Nook Touch General] JaGrab3:
Misunderstanding :).

I measured white and yellow to black of course.

I didnt remember which cable was wchich, thats why I wrote "close to red and close to black" meaning location of cable :).

I will measure this today once again, but one cable was 100Ohm.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Wait, you are using a Nokia battery on the Nook?

Why would you think that would work?

Yes, 3.7 is 3.7 is 3.7, but the temp sensor and the ID resistances are all different.

Is this a battery you bought for the Nook or one you had lying around?

If I understand you, the wire closer to red is measuring open circuit?

The wire closer to black is reading one hundred ohms?

Open circuit on that wire indicates freezing, means the Nook won't even try to charge.
[Nook Touch General] JaGrab3:
Nope, i've bought new battery:

http://www.ebay.pl/itm/111171834072?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

And Yes the wire closer to red is measuring open circuit. (this one I must check once again).

The second one is 100Ohm.

I measured once again.

Yellow and black 27KOhm

White and black 104 Ohm.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, something is wrong.

They shipped you the wrong one or it's broken or they have no idea what model a Nook Touch needs.

Your yellow is my yellow and it shoud be reading 10K ohms at 25C.

It's not, it says that it is freezing.

It won't charge a frozen battery.

You can might try complaining/returning the battery.

If they are communicative you might check resistance eadings with them.

If the original battery was discharged dead-dead, it may be damaged.

You might be able to resuscitate it if you bypass the battery protection module temporarily.

Let's not have any fires or explosions, ok?
[Nook Touch General] JaGrab3:
Unfortunetly i throw away my old battery. :(.

Maybe there is posibility to hack nook not to read temperature sensor readings....but... nook is not charging even if is completly off, so I thing there must be some circuit on nook motherboard, to block chcarging....
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Remember those battery problems on the Boeing 787?

Remember those laptops that burned up?

A LiPo battery has about as much energy in it as the same size pack of gunpowder.

The two things that are dangerous are overcharging and overdischarging.

That's why every LiPo battery pack has built-in protection circuits.

The charging system is also responsible for maintaining safety.

I would definitely try to return the battery pack.

As I said, it's the wrong one or broken.

The Nook battery pack is supposed to have a "103AT NTC" (10k @ 25C negative temp coefficient thermistor) in it.

Yours apparently does not.

You were measuring the resistances with the battery disconnected?
[Nook Touch General] JaGrab3:
Yes
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Well, then it's like how I said.
[Nook Touch General] JaGrab3:
Finally I've bought 10kOhm termistor, and plugged into yellow and black wires in the connector of battery.

Now it's charging!!

Renate THANKS for Your time and advice!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
That's great! :victory:

Use UsbMode.apk and see if the temperature is somewhere near correct.
[Nook Touch General] JaGrab3:
I've checked that, and temperature in nook is about 5 degree higher than in room..

After rooting, I deleted some stock apps from nook, and dissabled some from autostart (all google stuff). After that there is about 140MB free of RAM after booting,

Battery life is avesome - two weeks of reading (about 50-80 pages/day) and there are stil 80% of battery!.

Wifi is dissabled, and I'm using it only for reading.
[Nook Touch General] alabala007:
My ID resistance is 100K, not 30K

Hello Renate,

My Nook ST sometimes hangs. It hangs more often when the battery is not fully charged. It never hangs when the charger is plugged in. I have tried with another battery (of friend of mine) and for a few days it never hanged. That’s why I think my battery is not a good one.

The resistance of the yellow (thermistor) to black is as you said 10K while the green one (ID) to black id not 30K but 100K. Do you think 100K is normal? My battery model No is S11ND018A REV: B.

Thank you in advance
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
Hmm, interesting.

There are two different batteries that were used on the NST, Lico and McNair.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had different ID resistors.

I'll look into this.

In any case, the main point was that with an open circuit it will not acknowledge that a battery is connected.
[Nook Touch General] alabala007:
I have cut the green cable and it works

Mine is LICO.

My intention was to cut the green cable and to connect its half coming from the connector to the black one by a 30K resistor i.e. to replace my battery 100K ID with a hypothetical correct 30K ID. I have just cut the green cable and give it a try....and the miracle happened. It works. The battery was full. A few days later of everyday use (even browsing in Internet) it is still 48% and works perfectly well. Before it was not possible. Sometimes before, the charging was also a problem especially when the battery is almost drained. It was necessary to restart it a few times to activate the charging. It seems now it is not a problem…but I am still observing its behaviour…
[Nook Touch General] alabala007:
The written above was true until this morning when it hung at 46% battery. The only way to woke it up was to plug in the charger. I am going to give it a new try with 30K resistor from green to black cables.

I looked through the 5 pages in this section and didn't see anything that would create a better quality audio output from stock.

After leaving the DNA and going back to Samsung my audio streaming quality has noticeably gotten low, I stream for 2-3 hrs a day via Bluetooth and the Bass and overall quality on the S4 compared to the DNA there is a difference giving the DNA a big Plus.

Anyone out there that has got a MOD to load on the S4 to make this audio streaming better, could you be kind to share it?

Thank you ;)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GARover:
I just flashed a custom ROM to my phone for the first time. It took a little figuring out, as it was my first time flashing, but it works! And, I'm over my fear factor, so I'll probably try some other ones and not afraid to tweak anymore.

So, the only thing I'm really having trouble with now is setting up my Voicemail. I'm on the Boost Mobile network, and I presume there is a short code that we are supposed to dial to get into Voicemail or something like that, and I presume this changes depending on the carrier.

I thought we just dialed "1" from the dialpad to access and setup, but I just get a recording that says "The number you are accessing is invalid, please hang up and try again." That was what I saw under Boost's instructions online.

http://www.boostmobile.com/shop/phones/mobile-guides/htc-one-sv/Content/20130109_HTC_One_SV_Boost_User_Guide_WWE/Set%20Up%20Voicemail.htm

But, even beyond that, I'd like to set up Visual Voicemail... So, not sure if this is where I'll need an app or something.

If anyone has any hints or can point me in the right direction, that would be great!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GARover:
Okay, I just flashed to a new ROM and everything is working well, but still looking to figure out how to properly set up my Voicemail on the Boost Mobile network....

And, I'd like to use a visual voicemail service. If there's any quick links or videos on how I can easily set this up on my Android phone, please pass along!!!

Thanks.

Hi,

I'd like to fill it up with some films but fat32 doesn't, as you know, support files above 4 GB.

Is it possible to create a second partition in f.ex. exFat or NTFS?

Cheers.

Internal memory is using ext4, which already supports 'unlimited' file size.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backslashV:
Hi guys,

1. What is the advantage/disadvantage of flashing a custom kernel?

2. I recently flashed Cyanogenmod. It automatically installs a custom kernel right?

3. Using the Nexus 7 toolkit I reverted my N7 to stock recovery (from CWM) How should I make sure that it's been reverted to the latest stock version?

4. What does N7's stock factory image contain? (Stock ROM + Stock recovery + Stock kernel?) (found here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images)

5. Is this correct? You can install a custom ROM without changing the kernel but in order to have more customization you have to flash a different kernel than the stock one.﻿

6. Is this the correct order? Unlocking bootloader>rooting>Flashing custom recovery>Flashing custom kernel>Flashing custom ROM>...?

7. Difference between unlocking bootloader and rooting.

8. How to find out N7's latest stock kernel version.

Many thanx
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rirere:
Same as those for a stock kernel. That is to say, every kernel has advantages and disadvantages. Some trade performance for battery life, others do the reverse. Some are more feature-heavy and potentially more unstable, others are feature-light but designed to be rock solid. With custom kernels on a Nexus device, you avoid one of the biggest dangers of custom kernels (instability due to lack of kernel source for developers to base their work on), but you still need to be careful. You don't necessarily know how proficient the author of a given kernel is, and the wrong one can make your device unusable/kill it.

I believe it does. I don't remember which one though, since I don't use CM.

You need to be more specific-- the latest stock ROM, or the latest stock recovery? If you're wondering about the ROM, you can check in Settings > About tablet > Status. When it comes to determining recovery version, I'm not so sure.

I believe it contains stock ROM and kernel.

Generally correct. There's a subset of features that are kernel-dependent, not ROM dependent, so you should think of it as ROM customizations vs. kernel customizations. Some examples of the former include PIE menus and Paranoid Android's Halo feature. Examples of the latter might include tap2wake (double tap on a powered-off screen to turn it on), NTFS drive support for OTG, and so on.

Yes and no? It's one way of going about it, save for the last two things, which should be reversed. Since some ROMs include custom kernels, flashing a kernel and then a ROM runs the risk of having your kernel choice overwritten.

If all you need to do is flash a different ROM, you can go straight form unlocking the bootloader to flashing a recovery. You can also flash ROMs and kernels independently, so long as whatever kernel/ROM you're running initially doesn't have known incompatibilities with your new ROM/kernel.

Unlocking your bootloader is like getting the key to a house. Rooting is getting permission from the landlord to do whatever the heck you want to the house. A locked bootloader means that the device is checking to ensure no unauthorized code is running at boot time, which prevents custom recoveries from being installed. Rooting only really matters when the device is booted up.

Google. Sorry, can't help you with this one.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backslashV:
First of all many many thanx to you because of your help. Yes I meant stock RECOVERY in question 3 also the way you explained question #7 is awesome.

Now I'm running stock ROM on CWM recovery and Franco kernel. My question is that will I be able to upgrade to Android 4.3 with this recovery and kernel? Or I have to flash the stock kernel or stock recovery or both?

Also how can I extract the stock kernel from the factory stock image file?

Thanx again.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
The OTA updates are normally only applied to the rom/system, so in theory you should be able to just run the OTA update with the stock rom, the worst that would mainly happen is losing rooting because the system partition gets replaced with a fresh install of the newest operating system (but your /data retains your settings and user data).

I use TWRP recovery instead of CWM, and TWRP when you're bout to exit it will detect if your system has Supersu or not and will offer to install it for you (from there once you boot into the system you can use it to install the su binary for you thus re-rooting).

In the end it's a personal choice. With custom roms like I'm using, there's no real "OTA" update (just a notice that the rom creators use to notify you of new versions which are downloaded to the device, and you just reboot into recovery to flash them). Custom roms typically get updated a few days to a few weeks after google updates if they're AOSP based.

The stock kernel would normally be the boot image, I don't know how you would do it with clockwork mod, but in TWRP you can simply make a backup of the boot partition to retain the original stock kernel. (It will of course only work on AOSP-based roms if you choose to just flash the stock kernel, but the ones that are made for the rom, or custom kernels tend to offer optimizations over the original stock one).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backslashV:
Thanks, I meant extracting the stock kernel from factory image file found here:

https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

By the way I don't have the stock kernel anymore to back it up.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Ahh I see, well if your's is the Wifi-only version then would be something like this https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasijdq39

The firmwares are basically gzipped tarballs (in a linux system tar zxvf would normally unpack em, otherwise 7zip for windows does a good job of unpacking it into a folder).

Alternatively you can just download the kernel itself (Post #3) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2151154

Edit: Yes if you un-gzip/untar the original firmware, then unpack image-nakasi-jdq39.zip inside of that, there will be a boot.img that's where the kernel lives. The boot.img can be flashed via fastboot to the boot partition (I'd advise reading up on this first before actually doing it). Though like linked above, there are some recovery-flashible versions of the stock kernel you can use instead.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] backslashV:
thanks, I actually did unzip the stock firmware seconds ago and was posting the results then I saw your edit.

Just there are some confusions here: what is that userdata.img? also what is bootloader-grouper-4.18.img
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
bootloader img would be the original stock bootloader for the Nexus 7, chances are you never replaced it, you only unlocked it. There's usually no reason to replace the bootloader with a custom one since all you need to do is unlock it.

userdata.img would be the /data partition. The firmware download basically has a image for all of the partition in the original out-of-the-box stock state. Technically you don't even to flash it, as long as you wiped /data before rebooting (since that would be the same as a clean install if you instead flashed the system and boot partition).

Edit: If I were messing with it to get back stock rom (but not messing with recovery, cuz custom recovery is still handy to have), I would only flash the boot.img and system.img , then log into Recovery and wipe data (ie: factory reset which wipes cache and /data but doesn't touch /data/media), Then I would be able to reboot into a clean stock install of the rom.

(from there I could just make a backup from recovery so I wouldn't have to do a fastboot flash again).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rirere:
Unfortunately, how many times does should matter? ;) Theoretically, you should be able to do OTAs while rooted by downloading the ZIP and flashing in recovery, but if you've made changes to /system (uninstalling a system app, or adding a helper), you might get the stupid script_assert error. Of course, you could just push the whole /system back to your device...although that can be just as annoying.

I wish there were away to turn off the script_asserts safely, but they do exist for a reason.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
[MENTION=1982196]valapsp[/MENTION]

Small but important clarification.

Essentially 100% of custom ROMs install a kernel. (Actually, a kernel plus a ramdisk packaged together as a single ("bootable image") file, typically named "boot.img".) So your preexisting boot image containing the kernel is always overwritten during a ROM installation. See next answer.

Almost, but not quite. If you want to use a different kernel than what ships with a given ROM, you flash it after you have installed the ROM, not beforehand. See prior answer.

One more thing. Since you are new to this stuff, I'll make a suggestion:

Learn how to create and restore full Nandroid backups (using the custom recovery) immediately. And get in the habit of copying them off your tablet to your PC. You will thank me later for this advice.
