[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unqualified:
I gave it a shot, but a few issues led me to give up the attempt:

1) The QPST instructions I found required using an mmi code to put it into diagnostic mode in order for QPST to operate. Those have never worked on my phone (either my old mytouch or new one, on both stock and custom ROMs). It might have something to do with being no-contract/prepaid.

2) I searched around and couldn't find a single successful story of someone using QPST on any HTC gsm phones with a qualcomm msm8255. Lots of noble attempts, but no results.

3) A QPST backup would contain the phone's IMEI, which is pretty sketchy and not something I would want to share. I was going to look into making a backup for myself, and if I could find a way to zero out the IMEI I would consider sharing it for unbricking purposes, but couldn't even get past step 1 anyway, so that was a bust.

4) FYI, for $12 I picked up a broken mytouch on ebay and swapped the motherboard when I destroyed mine a couple months ago. Far lower frustration level. That's my contingency plan, anyway.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
Does your Nook go crazy when the battery gets around 15 percent? Mine will start opening and closing applications and then it will shuts down. You would think it would warn me ahead of time :confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I ran into this phenom several times, some with battery-level readings at even higher values in the 25-30% range.

I think

part

of the problem is the battery-level readings in many CM builds are not reliable: I've seen battery readings jumping as much as +/- 10 points immediately following an update to a different build -- hence there is a good chance the real battery level might not be where the reading says it is.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
I thought that the accuracy on my build may be off. Guess the best think to do is put her on the charger at 20 percent ;)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] spcagigas:
I don't think it's related to CyanogenMod. I recall getting this wonky battery behavior even on the original B&N operating system. I don't have the problem any more, but I've done so many tweaks to my Nook that I couldn't tell you definitively what did the trick. Mine will happily tick down to about 3% or so, then shut off calmly. You can try flashing one of the kernels that Demitrius has posted in the dev forum; that may help. I'm running his Nook on Fire/Showtime kernel with great success.

Of course, I do need to say that one of my tweaks was ripping out the old battery and replacing it (which happened about the same time last summer as flashing Nook on Fire, hence not being sure which fix did the trick). There are guides on YouTube to replace the battery, and you should be able to find a new battery for $30~$35 US. It's not technically challenging, but it is difficult -- everything inside that tablet is gummed up with adhesive, and you need to take great care to make sure you don't damage the case or the screen while you're pulling the old battery out.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] pepi4:
I may just try the Fire/Showtime kernel. I'm not sure if I'm happy with 10.3.1. I've been having WIFI problems also since I've went to it.

Thanks
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
I agree that the problem of "NT going bonky at low battery" is independent of ROM version.

But false readings of "battery remaining capacity %" in some CM builds make the problem seem to occur at a higher battery level than actual.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kevin Flynn:
Mine also started going crazy about a year ago when the battery got to around 17% left, this was on the original (rooted) B&N firmware, then about a month ago it would start going nuts when the battery was just below 90% full (still on B&N firmware).

I found that if the brightness was high or the CPU load was high then this made it worse, I used to use it a s portable wireless video player quite a bit and discovered I had to put the brightness to 50% or lower to try and stop it going nuts. Now it's so bad I leave it plugged into a power source all the time to use it, which has effectively killed its portability.

I have put CM 10.2.0 on it recently but that hasn't made the battery/touchscreen problem better or worse, except it can no longer read TF cards :(

Where did you get a replacement battery? That might solve the problem for me also.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Darth Newton:
It would seem that I also have this problem. I have rooted via the method at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1439630 I haven't installed many apps so I don't think that is the problem. I only rooted it last week, spring pad went down and Evernote only supports Nook HD for some odd reason from the B&N App store. I installed Evernote, Firefox, Tor, and the Tor browser from Google play/market. It only started doing this last night, at first I thought perhaps it was a virus or something. Then I realized it happened when the power got around 23%.

It just started doing this last night. The only other thing I did was update the NTHiddenSettings app via Google Play. Thinking that was it, I reinstalled the previous version but nope no difference. Other than what I have listed this NT is stock.

I did find a great battery removal video (and place to get them) at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F0glSyvj2s I hope that is not the case as I really don't want to buy/replace the battery. But if need be...ok. I really like this tablet and it does all I need.

If anyone has fixed this (besides a battery replacement) please do post. Thanks.

Oh I just found on another forum someone posting about battery calibration https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nema.batterycalibration&feature=search_result which sounds like it may be our problem. Something messed up the calibration would certainly make our NT's go crazy. Anyone ever try this?

UPDATE:

After digging around I found that the battery calibration app in question doesn't do much other than delete a file that is deleted anyway as soon as you plug in your tablet and charge it. So that is not it.

And on another note with the "spare parts" app the 'battery history' option errors with "the application spare parts ) process.com.andriod.spare_parts_ has topped unexpectedly, please try again." Is this normal? It is version 2.3.7. NT Hidden Settings app application settings/battery use works fine and shows the amount of everything that has used the battery since it was last plugged in/charged. Could this error be a sign of the problem with the phantom touches and inaccurate battery display? And if it is a sign of something broken, what and how do I fix it?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
This problem recently got a lot worse on my (nearly 3-year old) NT -- random opening/switching of app screens now occur at battery readings in the 65-85% range (used to be ~25%).

I contemplated replacing its battery, but with the cost of the replacement battery ranging from $22 (on eBay) to $40 (from New Power 99) and the risk of messing things up during the replacement process, I opted to simply trade in the NT for $30 of credit (trade-in offer valid till 01/17/15, see http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/tra...FILIATES-_-Linkshare-_-TnL5HPStwNw-_-10:1&r=1) toward a new Samsung Tab 4 Nook on-sale (in-store, ending today 12/21) for $129.

FWIW, when restoring the NT to stock ROM (for the purpose of the trade-in inspection at the store), I noticed that the battery reading in stock ROM is ~20 points below the reading shortly before while running CM.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rabarbar:
Hi guys,

I was trying to flash the Pac-Man rom onto the new KFHD7 (bought it a week ago). It had Amazon OS 7.4.7 on it.

I was succesful flashing TRWP and bootloader (downgraded to the Amazon OS 7.2.3 bootloader) using the fire flash application as described in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2271909

I then installed the Pac-Man rom and the google apps. Unfortunately sth went wrong and the keyboard was not working at all - every few seconds I was getting a message that the AOSP (android keyboard) stopped working. I tried few things to fix that (like clearing the data and cache for AOSP but that didn't work.

Then I have downloaded the CM ROM for Kindle from this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2388341

I have installed it and wiped the data and cache.

That did not work and I got a red text telling me that there was a problem with my Kindle and I should wipe the data and restore it to factory status. I did that and then used KFFirstAide to restore the Kindle from the backup I have taken beforehand.

After the restore I sort of got the system back. Unfortunately I got no applications on the home screen although in the list of installed applications they were there.

So I decided to flash the TRWP and bootloader again (as I lost them doing the restore from backup) as I just wanted to boot into recovery and try to flash another rom (Kinology). I flashed them using fastboot no problem.

Unfortunately once I flashed them and did the "fastboot -i 0x1949 reboot" Kindle stopped playing nice and is looping.

Kindle Fire orange logo appears for about 4-5 seconds and then flickers and kind of restarts and then again orange logo apeears for 4-5 seconds, flickers and just loops like that.

I have already ordered the factory cable but I have a question what do I need to do once it arrives.

Can I go back to stock OS somehow? Where can I get it?

if not then what should I do to unbrick it and flash any rom on it?

thanks in advance

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stunts513:
If the logo doesn't turn blue anymore I would suggest restoring the stock system with kffa and starting over again, though you may have to flash the boot loader again, and if you do check the md5sum of the download before flashing it to avoid a hard brick.

What are the benchmarks over there on the s2?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Fair, on average about 700 to 800 points higher on Quadrant than the old phone, although keep in mind much of the Exhibit's score revolved around very high I/O readings. With a normal I/O score, the Exhibit would be about 1000-1200 points lower. You can look at the attached screenshots to see what I mean. The Exhibit is on the left, S2 on the right.

Some folks over there posted very exaggerated scores of over 4000 which they got with TW ROMs that had 2Ghz OC and probably used V/R for I/O.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Proud2banoob:
The Light will kill the gs2. Quad core v. dual core, newer architecture, etc. The Exhibit is old, but the gs2's not that much newer.... j/s
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Oh very true, I have no illusions about the hardware on this device. It's as old as the Exhibit, in fact. It does have sufficient hardware for what I need however. The Exhibit is just so limited on CPU and RAM it drove me crazy when I used it. I learned you couldn't make a Kia a Jaguar with it basically, no matter how hard I tried. The S2 crushes it, but let's all face it, that's not saying much.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
Antutu scores 17500, and quadrant is 8669
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I take it you mean the Light, cause we know the Exhibit isn't doing those kinds of numbers! Hey the Light has much better hardware than the S2, no question. However I didn't want it without root. I won't have any phone that I can't do what I want to do with it. Getting rid of bloat for starters. If your device gets a work around for the bootloader and some established devs get involved, there are some very nice possibilities in store.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] tazmaniondvl:
We have root :) cwm :) TWRP :) debloated stock. And a stock based rom. Like peach sunrise was in the beginning. Its called Lightwave. Decent. But not perfect. A few devs are trying for a CM11. One just posted a progress report. I would tag him but his name is hard to tag (@ root @ ) no spaces. And no parenthesis.

I have been working on porting stuff. Gotten pretty good thnx to the exhibit being free to do what I want. I have been using it to fine tune my porting capabilities. The tool I use to use never was quite right..... so anyways. How are things on your side of the tracks?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I wish I could tell you they were good, but not really. The S2 has been a miserable failure from almost month one. I honestly hate it almost as much as I did the Exhibit. ROM after ROM has failed to fully deliver the goods, mainly due to the dated hardware this thing has. I really goofed on this purchase. Every time I think I have the perfect setup, it bombs later. That story sounds familiar doesn't it? Right now I am running PA on it and thanks to the latest Fly On Mod Alpha 3 it's a fairly decent setup for now. I'd like to quit on this thing and wait until the next phone to start ROM flashing again. You can't make a Honda run like a Porsche, bottom line. BTW this is the last Samsung I will EVER buy again! EVER!

On the Galaxy Light, one of the people at work bought one and no offense, I wasn't impressed. Only a few days after she had it, she was asking what was causing some of the FCs she was getting. The thing was lagging and it wasn't until I put Nova launcher on it some of the lag went away. Just another Samsung hunk of junk IMO. But if you are still loving it, I am happy for you at least. Development is not going to really go anywhere on it, at least where you will get official support. Samsung has already moved on to the Avant. Let's be honest. We both need to get a 1+1 or Nexus to really have a phone that delivers. I plan on it soon too. Also good on you for expanding your skills. I made a port for the S2 but it had some bugs. This stuff just consumes too much time too.

Good to hear from you bro BTW. Good old Rebel ROM, it really was one of the good ones for the Exhibit. At least I have learned a lot here.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Proud2banoob:
Hey, AD. Good to hear from you, again. Sad news about the S2. My Light was never a problem, and my wife still uses it. When i updated the rom, the phone lost root. It's easy enough to get it back, but my wife doesn't really care. The bloat is still gone, and now we have VoLTE. Pretty good swap. I've moved to a Nexus 5. It's not rooted, either (tried, using the Nexus root kit, but it wasn't working. I think i messed up getting the correct driver), but again, no bloat so no worries. With a 32gb internal drive, I'll never have storage problems. It's taking some time to get used to the size, but that's not a big deal. There are certainly lots of roms available, should i choose to go that route.

Again, good to see you again.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] finalhit:
After weeks of "should i, shouldn't i" i finally bit the bullet and bought a nexus 5 (haven't received it yet). I'm coming from an HTC one, which I also prematurely upgraded from the galaxy note 2 (so this is my second phone off-contract, and 3 phone in the last year [ i think i have a problem ])

anyway, i'm suddenly getting buyers remorse. I know the speakers are going to be a downgrade. I watch a lot of videos on my phone, and i'll probably feel the difference. I am looking forward to wireless charging, and hopefully, better signals though.

anyone else upgrade/sidegrade from the HTC one? How's your experience so far with the nexus 5. If anyone can just hold my hands and tell me it's gonna be ok, that would be awesome :laugh:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I had the HTC One, got rid of that for the GS4 (not the best decision) and got rid of that for the Moto X. Now I have both the X and the N5 and while I like the X better than the N5, I definitely like the N5 better than the One. The One was neat but I hated the size to screen ratio, and really didn't like the aluminum build. It felt too fragile to me. The N5 feels pretty damn fragile too but not as much as the One. I also am not a fan of Sense and after getting the X and now the N5, I'll never go back to a phone with a skinned OS again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liskrig:
I have an HTC One, and you will notice a big difference with the speakers. BUT what you will gain is lightning-fast response, and a studder-free interface. It is the fastest, and smoothest phone I have ever used (look at my sig... I've had plenty of variety). Try it out though, it may not be for you. If you are heavily invested in BlinkFeed, and HTC services, it may take a while to convert fully, but it is not a bad device by any means.

Just note... the signal is displayed differently on the One than stock Android. A 6 bar-indicator, down to a 4 bar-indicator will APPEAR that the signal is weaker, but in reality it will be the same, or stronger that what you aesthetically see on the One. I haven't had any issues with service, reception, or speed at all with the Nexus.

*grabs hand* Hang in there. All is well, and welcome to the realm of the Nexus. :highfive:

I actually like the one's aluminum build, but another reason I'm switching is because I scratched the back a tiny tiny bit. And it was driving me crazy (ocd and stuff)

N4 to HTC One to N5 for me. Each was an improvement. The N5 is just silly fast and other than the speakers on the One, I don't find anything on the N5 that would make me go back to the One. One is a good phone, but the N5 is excellent.

I was in two minds over the Note and the N5, I miss the One an awful lot in all honesty, I was running MoDaCo ROM on it and used GPE a lot more than Sense. The build quality on the One is great and the sound of course is excellent.

I have the Note 3 now, but I am still tempted by the N5 - purely cause it looks lovely more than anything, I am happy with the Note but I tend to change my phone on a whim (a very very very brief stint with BB also) - Had some hands on time with the N5 and I gotta admit it's made me think about it a lot more...
