[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dan B.:
I have a ROOTED Nook Tablet (1.4.3) BNTV250A and want to update the software to something newer. Having spent most of the morning trying to repair the WIFI after a bad app was removed, I want to have the latest stable version in my Nook Tablet. In my more adventurous days I would have gone with a nightly build, but right now I need stable.

What is the latest stable version? I am new to the forum and find many, many posts about builds - but find many are old and not sure I should use those post as the 'latest stable' version. :confused:

What has been done with CM10.x? Is CM11.x stable or still a nightly build?

It is either this or go get a new Nexus 7 - but would prefer to try an update first.

Thanks in Advance

Dan B.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
It's not the latest (far from ) but Succulent's CM10 is super stable.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
Most stable/reliable is Succulent's 10.0 build dated 12/31 [MENTION=4876511]asawi[/MENTION] recommended in his reply above. If you need multi-user setup or just want a newer ROM version for any reason, go for official 10.1.3. I just upgraded to 10.2 yesterday (from 10.1.3 which I ran for the last couple of months), its performance might be too early to fully know but so far so good.

From what I've read, 11.x for the NT is not yet fully functional.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Dan B.:
updating my Nook

Build date 12/31? Would that be 12/31/12? I don't need multi-user, but dual boot might be nice. I haven't purchased anything from B&N since I got the nook and got it rooted as Google Play has more than enough for me. But the stock Nook OS is kinda lame when compared to other tablet offerings and I want spruce it up so I'm not tempted to go spend money on a newer tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] asawi:
Succulent has a ready made SD card image you can download and burn if you want to try his OS out, performance is very similar to internal install.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serianox:
Hi i'm travelling to the US next month and i want to buy a nexus 5. as i need to use it with my country carrier i need it unlocked.

now as far as i understand, i can't buy it from the play store as i dont have an US credit card (correct me if i'm wrong)

both the t-mobile and best buy support told me that their version of the nexus 5 ($450) are not really unlocked, but i've read a lot that in fact you can use that phones with whatever carrier you want. is that true? has anyone bought the t-mobile / bestbuy(sprint) versions and tried using another carrier SIM?

Thanks guys
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STi_Fanatic:
I don't believe there are any carrier-locked N5s being sold in the US. You've checked that the US version of the phone supports the bands that are used in your country? BB will charge $100 more for the phone and likely try to sell you service, but you should be able to get it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serianox:
yes i checked and the 850/1900 bands are supported. both bestbuy and tmobile support told me that the phone is sold locked to the respective carriers, but i've read that that's actually not true and you can just swap with whatever SIM you have. Also i hope they dont try to force me to sign some plans if i buy the device
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cahiatt:
I am interested in this info also. I have a Nexus 5 showing up from Sprint and wondering if it will work with my T-Mobile SIM later if I decide to use it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
No Nexus 5 devices are sold locked. They are all unlocked and if anything you can test it right there in the store/parking lot to be sure.

The only problem however is LTE if you'll ever need that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serianox:
i hope this is true!

they just answered me this:

Hi , If you purchase the device from T-Mobile, it is locked and will only work with a T-Mobile SIM card. Once you've met the requirements, we can help you unlock the device. If you need one unlocked already, we recommend purchasing directly through Google. - Jess
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
The Sprint and T-Mobile Nexus 5's are unlocked. I have a Sprint one that I purchased at Best Buy and it works just fine with my T-Mobile sim card....2G, 3G, 4G, and LTE...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serianox:
Thanks for your reply! i'm really glad this is true. can i ask you if they forced to buy some plan or sim, or you just paid the $450?

Thanks again
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowandbehold:
I got them to price match Google the day it came out, so I got it for $350. They may have smartened up to that by now though. The SIM came in the phone. I did not have to pay for the SIM or an activation fee. I didn't let them open the box at all.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] serianox:
i'm wondering if i can do this. it says in the BB website:

"If you find a lower price on a qualifying product at a local retail competitor's store or shipped from and sold by a designated major online retailer, we will match the price. At the time of purchase, we will match the current pre-tax price for new, identical, immediately available products from a local retail competitor's store or shipped from and sold by a designated major online retailers: Amazon.com, Apple.com, Bhphotovideo.com, Crutchfield.com, Dell.com, Frys.com, hhgregg.com, HP.com, HomeDepot.com, Lowes.com, Newegg.com, OfficeDepot.com, OfficeMax.com, Rakuten.com Shopping, Sears.com, Staples.com, Target.com, TigerDirect.com and Walmart.com."

it doesn't list google play as an allowed website.

i hope i get a cool seller lol

Thanks again!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seifer780:
Nexus 5's are not locked to any specific carrier. You just need to make sure that the bands are compatible with your carriers' frequency.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asiandrg0n:
I bought my N5 off contract from BestBuy. It is unlocked. I am running mine on Simple Mobile. I only had to put my SIM in and program the APN for data access.

I rooted my MF3 SG4 and froze a ton of that garbage bloatware but nothing I didnt find on safe lists on XDA.

Also pre this root around I actually did brick the phone pretty good but was able to Odin my way out with the newly released files.

Are you one of the 50% of users experiencing problems with muffled speaker sound while using the Nexus 5 in landscape mode? I've been working on a fix and think I've finally perfected it.

Rotate the device 180 degrees! The speaker ends up fitting in between your fingers instead of up against your palm, resulting in zero muffling. Added bonus: the volume buttons are at the top, easily accessible with your right index finger.

For the other 50% of users who are not experiencing this problem, do NOT (I can't stress this enough) rotate the device 180 degrees. I am not responsible for decreased speaker volume for any users who fail to use this mod properly.

Initial tests suggest that mic sensitivity suffers on the rotated N5, due to the mic now being covered. Unfortunately, reverting the mod is not trivial. If anyone knows how to convert degrees to radians please PM me. Once I figure it out, I'll issue a hotfix.

Has anyone come across such earphones, that meet ALL these criteria:

1) Plastic earphones, NOT earbuds (I hate the feeling of silicone inside my ear canal)

2) Three in-line buttons (volume +/-, answer key), that work with Nexus 5

3) Black colour

4) cheap, something under $10, just good enough to watch youtube videos

If you have, please post some links

Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] PsychDrummer:
I've actually been having trouble finding earphones as well. Everyone always reviews high quality earbuds and I also hate sticking them in my ear and they often fall out as well (yes I've tried different size tips). I actually would really like high quality ones. I wouldn't mind paying 20-30 dollars for a pair but it seems like people only concentrate on earbuds.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] Letitride:
If you are looking for over the ear headphones, here is the noise-cancelling one that I've been using for a # of years of trans-Pacific & transon flights in coach class / back of the house - since they don't provide Bose or Sennheiser (got a pair of them too, more bulky) - they are not studio or audiophile quality, but strike a balance for price to value and results.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brand-New-S...78360736?pt=US_Headphones&hash=item4d15cedea0

Comfortable to wear for extended period of time and paid about $50 for them a while ago, surprised to find them new selling up to $90+ on Amazon, mad crazy & actually appreciated in value. NC feature runs on a single AAA (rechargeable ones don't last as long ) battery for 25 to 30+ hours of run time, but it is perfectly good to use w. power off in a quieter cabin environment (sitting in the back section behind the wings with those huge Rolls Royce or GE engines spinning).

Used or pre-owned ones in good conditions are going for around $30 or so, the foam earpads can be replaced inexpensively & there are "leather" foam pad upgrades available. They fold flat in a pouch and slip easily into my carry-on or backpack for travel - an optional, sturdy protective case is available for. It is strictly for listening & does NOT have in-line mics or controls. Adjustable headband will fit everyone and the mini 3.5mm plug fits easily into the Nexus 5 with the rugged Fintie TPU case.

Running around in town, however - I prefer, however, to use Air-Buds sold online with its flat cord & foam earpieces, see their FB page or visit online sites - when it's on sale, it will cost as little as $25/pair + shipping when buy 2 together (perfect holiday gift too.)

I thought that as well but it seems like whenever I search for earbuds, the in-ear ones come up in searches.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jRi0T68:
That's because many people don't know the difference.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] bblzd:
I think it is because the IEM "in canal" version is mostly what's being made right now.

The old design is inefficient comparatively and can't not achieve the sound volume or quality levels as easily. Bass is also mostly nonexistent without the seal in your ears that the in canal design provides.
[Nexus 5 Accessories] FXGIO:
I think it would be more dangerous to ride a bicycle with in-ear earphones
[Nexus 5 Accessories] jRi0T68:
Noise isolation is definitely a concern in some situations. Best options are using rubber/silicone tips rather than foam, not inserting therm too deeply, and/or only using one.

Otherwise, go foam and put them deep!

Ok, I have done some looking and have not figured out much yet. I have a one x from AT&T that will not go into fastboot . Pushed the down vol and power, it starts up as normal. There is a pin lock on the screen that the customer forgot the code, so all we need to do is reset the phone to factory. Any other way to do this? I can not access the phones menu to do any thing like turn on debugging to fix it that way. Any help would be great.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
There is not button combo that goes directly to fastboot. That button combo gets you into bootloader. Once in bootloader, you can select fastboot.

And if you can't get into booloader, its almost always a matter of you not doing the button combo correctly. Hold both the power button and vol down until the capacitive buttons flash a few times and the screen powers off. While the screen is off, release the power button but

not

the vol down rocker.

Keep holding

vol down until the white hboot screen comes up. People often think you are supposed to release both buttons at the same time, which just makes the phone boot normally.

Also this thread belong in Q&A. I've notified the mods to move it.

Root is achievable on the new mk2 ota update using the notoriously called "questionable" VROOT. **edit** its questionable because the website is in chinese, not a reputable developer so use at your own risk. That being said I did a full factory restore before doing this No personal info stored and immediately deleted their bootleg Super su app. Reguardless the instructions are pretty straightforward and easy for even a newbie to do with the explanation given. Just google "vroot xda" and you will find threads they don't mention att galaxy s4 but believe me it works I have stock 4.3 with root right now with titanium backup installed and crapware frozen.
