I have already posted my question about my audio problems. Just for kicks I tried to get an answer through the imate folks, live chat. It is a pretty cool feature but basically they disconnected with me and would not allow me to live chat again. Their response is humorous and typical. I can'te belive how bad their answers are. For a great product horrible support.

Jasmin> Welcome to Club i-mate. My name is Jasmin and I am a Club Advisor. What can I help you with?

Marshall> After working well for some time the audio performance of my device has seriously degraded.

Jasmin> which device sir?

Marshall> pda2k

Jasmin> what is the ROM version of your device

Marshall> 1.22.00 WWE

Jasmin> please go to Start>Settings>System>Device Information

Jasmin> well, did you try to perform a Hard Reset and check the performance

Marshall> No, that takes too much effort to recover from.

Jasmin> does this misfunction comes and goes

Marshall> No, it is with mp3 and wav playback, mp3 with WMP and wav using GPS Navigation. Very short intermittent drops in volume to 0. Sounds a bit like a very short skip.

Marshall> Can we double check I have the right audio codecs?

Jasmin> sir, we don't support the functionality of any Third Party software

Marshall> WMP9 comes with the pda2k!!

Jasmin> you mentioned that the voice drops while using the GPS

Marshall> Voice guided wav recordings while using a BT GPS reciever. But if you don't support that like I said the same problem is with Windows Media Player 9 and mp3.

Marshall> It is just a skipping like sound. Almost like an old record player, not a "drop"

Marshall> Can't we check the std intalled audio codecs?

Jasmin> sir, I would advice you to hard reset your device and check if the problem will still persist

Marshall> Like I said that erases all data and programs. It is too difficult to recover from that.

Jasmin> sir, you can backup your data with three different ways

Jasmin> either sync them with your computer

Marshall> Data, not programs!

Marshall> Hello

The Representative has left the session

What would you like to do ?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Rayan:
Just do what Jasmin says...

Perform a full backup, hard-reset, see if the problem persists, then restore... After restore, it should be just as it was before, probably even with the sound skipping problem, but your data and programs will be OK.

If all else fails or you simply refuse to hard-reset (you will have to do that eventually anyways) you can try to use the GSM Patch located here: http://www.gb-soft.cz/xdaii/product_gprs_tweak_en.htm. Not sure if it woks on the PDA2K but worth a try.

My 2 cents...

If you download the update from the computer using the Verizon update help app you will get the WiFi toggle if you used kies to download the update you won't have WiFi its that simple their two different updates or u can just wait like me who just got a notification right now at 3:20 about the update ota :) and its its only 15mins not an hour and 30mins like you all over the PC :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gabrielpina4:
Seee that's in my phone section I made the update wait I'm not ready to install it yet..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gadzooks64:
I used Kies to do my update and ended up with no WiFi toggle.

My son took the update OTA and ... ended up with no WiFi toggle.

My phone would hang on the Verizon splash screen when trying to reboot. Tech support had me clear the cache but that would only work for that boot - it would still hang if I tried to boot without clearing the cache.

I decided to do a reset and now everything runs much better, boots fast like it did originally, and I now have the WiFi toggle.

Son is putting off the inevitable reset but the writing is on the wall, he's going to have to do it.

My take from the forums I've read is that you have to do a reset if you don't get the WiFi toggle after taking the update (regardless of the update method: OTA, Kies, Verizon updater).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garrettsessions:
If the wifi toggle does not show up after the update, do a reset. It will be there after you do!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
What is the significance of the toggle that would justify the time of starting from scratch? The function is available with an app to toggle. I use Quick Settings since can not bother putting 260 apps back on the device and setting all my apps up again. Bleh to that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] darmot7:
Verizon Overlords

I agree.. though...

I reset my device and the wifi toggle is there.

I fell like this is just another example of Verizon's "Overlord" mentality. Now I have a wifi toggle and right below the toggle I have an ongoing notification that sits there and tells me what my wifi status is. What? No option to remove it the unneeded redundancy? I am looking forward to rooting this device, if merely to get rid of the "Overlord"-ness forced onto this device.

Thanks for the toggle veriZon......
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rvltn123:
Thanks for confirming... I thought there was an error with my reset when I saw this redundant silliness. But no... just Verizon being Verizon, "Oh, so you all want the WiFi toggle? Then here you go!"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ktklein72:
Any update on missing toggle after update?

So now I'm on MI1 and still I have no Wifi Toggle. I was wondering if anyone has found a work-around to get the toggle to appear other than a factory reset. Even if I root and backup all apps w/TiBU, it seems like too much effort to just get the toggle. Any advice?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pball:
If you root you can use an sqlite editor app and add the wifi toggle. I did this and it was quite simple, here's a link to a thread explaining how.

For some reason I had to add the "semi colon" before and after WiFiHotspot to make it show up as a toggle.

;WiFiHotspot;

So it doesn't work for you as described above quoted above try adding the semi-colon ; before and after they should fix it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] justinisloco:
You sure its not in the extended toggles? I know it seems like obvious but sometimes I even forget its there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ktklein72:
Yeah, I'm definitely sure it's not in there. I have 17 toggles and I've seen screen shots from other S4 variations that had 20 or so toggles. It's definitely still missing.

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

Skygo will not work on any custom roms or rooted stock rom. Nobody to my knowledge has cracked this or likely will.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Sky's root protection is ridiculously good, we won't ever be cracking it so don't think that it will become possible because it won't. If you want sky go you will have to stay completely stock and unrooted.

Some of the things (not everything) that Sky check for includes:

- Modified kernel

- Modfied (custom) recovery images

- S-off (maybe)

- Root (in every location imaginable)

- apps that use root, even if root is not present

- changes in default.prop and build.prop

So basically if you modify a rom in any way, even if you later remove root completely you are still blocked from using the app.

I have resorted to leaving my Nexus 7 completely stock and unrooted just so I can use SkyGo.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGoldrocker:
Hi,

I was planning to create my own Turn-by-turn GPS app for my windows phone, since Nokia Drive isn't available in my country, and any other GPS app has a huge price tag and doesn't properly do, what I expect them to do.

However, during my research on this topic, I've come across this document:

http://cmsresources.windowsphone.com/devcenter/en-us/legal/MSFT_Mapping_API_Terms.pdf

Can you guys please confirm, that Paragraph 3 says I may NOT develop a Turn-by-turn GPS app using this map API at all?

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
The reason turn-by-turn apps tend to be expensive is that licensing the data they use is expensive. OpenStreetMap data is, I think, free to use, but proprietary ones like Nokia has are very expensive to license if you want to use them for navigation. After all, the part that cost Nokia a ton of money wasn't the creation of the app, but the collection, manual correction, updating, and stitching together of the map data.

Some friends of mine told me I should get some company to manufacture this and make some money for myself, but I don't think the market is big enough (these headphones cost a fourtune). Just thought you guys would like to see the concept.

I did a search and found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1188595 but there's conflicting evidence as to whether resotration on bricking is possible.

How common is bricking the NST and how easy is it to restore it if rooting fails?
[Nook Touch General] kmaximax:
Use nook manager and first backup your nook as an image file to your PC or using your SD card (note you will need a big enough sd card for the backup most people have at least 1gig ) :)

rootings pretty straightforward with nook manager just follow the ON screen instructions :)

your nook like most androids have a recovery built in an can be activated to restore your nook to its factory state :)
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Just make sure you have a good backup before you get started and its a safe process. Backup with NookManager first and check that the backup is complete. Read through the NookManager thread on how the get the backup off your SD card and how to check if its a good, complete backup. Then you will always be able to restore back to before you rooted so root away.
[Nook Touch General] cairnarvon:
Alright I feel reassured.

I found the NookManager thread, it's this one right? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2040351

I guess if I follow all the intructions I'll have nothing to worry about.
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
Yes, that's it. You'll also want the NTGAppsAttack thread from the same forum as well.

It's pretty hard to mess up if you follow the instructions. A few notes from my experience -

Timing is critical after enabling WiFi on a rooted Nook; install something quickly through Google Market, or you'll need to uninstall the automatic update to it before it'll work.

When I restored my Nook back to (registered) stock via Nook Manager in order to update from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1, the B&N registration process complained (presumably because the same device had been re-registered whilst rooted, because I was fiddling). It rebooted and worked the next time.

A backup will be theoretically upto 2GB, if the Nook is full (e.g. of purchased B&N ebooks), but mine were about 200-odd MB (NookManager zero's unused space and compresses the backup with gzip).
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
You can validate the backup is complete by opening it with a zip / archiver program like 7-Zip and verifying the uncompressed size is 2 GB+/- (mine shows 1,962,934,272). That gives you two confirmations - the backup is a valid gz file and all the partitions got backed up.
[Nook Touch General] cairnarvon:
Hmm this is weird.

Having wrote the image of NookManager to my micro SD card, the nook doesn't want to boot with it in it....

If I remove the SD card it boots just fine. If I put in the SD card when it's on it recognises it too.

Have you ever heard of something like this happening?

I'm on 1.2.1.
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
How did you write the image to the card?
[Nook Touch General] cairnarvon:
abern isdsdsdsd

Straygecko, I used Win32DiskImager.
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
Did you turn your Nook off completely (i.e. by pushing and holding the power button on the back for about 30s) before inserting the SD card, then turn it on with the SD card inserted?

What class is the SD card? Do you have a Class 6 (or slower) card you can use?
[Nook Touch General] cairnarvon:
Yes.

I can't post a link to it I'm afraid and the packaging doesn't say anything about class.
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
OK, you say if you boot the device and put the SD card it recognizes it. Try plugging it into you PC card reader or plug your NST into your PC and verify that the NookManager files appear on the SD card. You should see the folders custom, files, hooks, menu and scripts on the card and files like boot.scr, uImage and uRamdisk and some others.

The packaging and the card itself almost always have the class symbol on them. See the SD association speed class page for examples of the symbols.
[Nook Touch General] cairnarvon:
Yup those are all there.

Ok I checked the micro SD and it looks like it's a class 10...Is this the reason it didn't work?
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
Most likely. There have been quite a few reports of problems using class 10 cards.
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
From a PM from cairnarvon, I suspect that his SD card is a counterfeit 64GB device. Unlucky!
[Nook Touch General] cairnarvon:
I managed to make a backup through nook manager.

it is a ~350 MB .gz file.

The uncompressed version is roughly 2GB. So far so good.

I tried to extract the archive and this happens:

$ gunzip -d backup.full.gz

gzip: backup.full.gz: invalid compressed data--crc error

gzip: backup.full.gz: invalid compressed data--length error

I tried to search the forum and I found these threads

Not sure if they're relavant though...
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
Is this that same wonky SD card?

Where are you reading backup.full.gz from with gunzip? The SD card via USB Mass Storage mode of the Nook, the SD card via a card reader, or a local copy after previously copying it?

How does the md5 checksum compare with the .md5 file NookManager created?
[Nook Touch General] cairnarvon:
No I bought an authentic one, it has a logo and everything :)

I copied the file to my local machine and tried to extract it.

I'm not too sure what this means...I know there's a md5 file with the backup but that's about it.

I formatted the partition and tried the backup again but got the same error...
[Nook Touch General] cairnarvon:
Is backup entirely necessary? Are there any stock backup images on the forum that I could download and use?
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
OK, what OS? How did you copy the files?

just run md5sum on the backup.full.gz. Its output should match the contents of backup.full.gz.md5 (which NookManager generated after completing its backup).

---------- Post added at 07:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 AM ----------

I'm of the opinion that it is. With a backup you can always restore it to factory-fresh. The backup also includes some unique details, like the serial number and, I believe, some decryption keys.
[Nook Touch General] straygecko:
You really need a backup of your ROM partition at a minimum as that has your serial number, mac address and most importantly encryption keys for B&N. No image other than your own backup can restore that as it is individual to your device. The easiest way to get a backup of our ROM partition is take a full backup of your device. So, yeah, you really need one. The forums have quite a few posts from those who didn't take a backup and hosed their Nooks looking for a way to recover and can't.
[Nook Touch General] cairnarvon:
Drag and drop. Did it under Linux Mint and Kubuntu but both lead to a file that had CRC errors.

I tried extracting with the above OSs and Windows 7 but they all had CRC errors.

Nope...The md5 checksums are different. Nookmanager's is "35e2f25c8020692db641c52204a9306f" and the other one is "fc4ba97443d7f0ec44a0cafebe4310bc" if that means anything to you.
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
Weird. Anything in your logs (e.g. /var/log/messages or /var/log/kernel) when you perform the copy? I'm thinking I/O errors and the like. Try using 'cp' from the command line. Does the filesystem you're copying to have plenty of space? Where is it: on your hard disc or SSD, a USB memory stick, in RAM...? Is your computer home-built, overclocked etc?

The checksums don't have any intrinsic meaning - but they should match if the copy has been successful.
