I-mate have continued to tell me that I damaged the phone so I have sent a Letter to Department of fair trading and I will let you know of the out come. Kalkonline, where I bought the phone have been a help at times but more talk than action, they seem to tell me that it must be frustrating and that they understand it must be anoying for me and then say stuff like they will see what they can do for me but then you never hear from them, but never say never, Ken the boss of kalkonline does seem like a good guy, so I will let you know the out come.

The other thing is I managed to find an external charger.

Hey, I can give you a receipt of another Imate JasJar user that got it's device repaired under manufacturer warranty, with the same broken off plug problem. If you show it to them they MUST repair it under the same conditions, because they have to be consequent in repairs.

Mail me if you want it: nicolajnijenhuis@hotmail.com

GREAT NEWS i-mate is giving me a new phone, they tried to argue with Department of fair trading in Australia but Department of Fair Trading said to i-mate that they would go through all of there records to see if this was a hardware problem and i-mate just said we will give him a new phone, I haven't recieved it yet but soon, it took six months but well worth the fight.

My I-mate JasJar just had the USB port break off inside the deivce. I'm in the US, any one know if HTC America or any service center in the US will service this device?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Guru Meditation:
I had this happen, and the device was out of warranty (XDA Exec). I found some guys in the UK - www.xdarepairs.co.uk - who did an excellent job - new USB port for £39.99 + £5 p&p - sent it on the Weds, and had it back by the Friday. They even do repairs while you wait if you're in the area.

I'm sure you could source the parts and do the solder yourself much cheaper, but I didn't want the hassle.

Incidentally, I think my port broke because I had the XDA car holder with the powered speaker, into which you slide the XDA. Being a little careless and heavy handed I think I probably put the port under too much strain with constant use. Just ordered a different holder to see if this improves.

XDA usb port repair

Hello,

I have just despatched my phone to the same firm, based in Wimbledon SE London. As I write the company have called to say that the repair is done, although they cannot do anything to enhance the design in making the port more stable on the motherboard. They only got the phone yesterday!

Faulty USB

Hi,

I bought a Jasjar as new in the box from Ebay 3 weeks ago. After using the windsreen mount daily I found my USB broke. As I did not buy this unit new I had no warranty so I took it to a local phone repair stall here in Scotland and was told it needed a new part which they didn't carry.

Not convinced I needed a new part I went to another phone repair centre, was told it needed soldering and got it repaired for £20, was able to go collect it the next day.

For others who have no warranty my advice would be to shop around.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] irnbru:

How did I deal wit T-Mo UK

the same think happened to me. I complained in the shop, I printed this thread and some others and took with me, complaining that its common fault .....

They took the phone, gave another as a temporry replacement(some siemens :-(). After approx. 30days and about 10 phone calls was phone back in shop. Unfortunately unrepaired.

I wrote them 1st letter ("warning before taking court action") no response

I wrote them 2nd letter ( it's neccessary that you can proove before court that you tried to settle thinks peacefully) response after time I gave them and after couple of urgencies (btw antidated, sent first by mail, a week later in post)

I raised small claims action on Glasgow&Strathkelvin Sherrifs Court, claiming price of repair (75GBP apexlaptops, 20GBP 3200mAh battery with desktop charger on ebay, 100GBP compensation for inconvinience)

3weeks after summon i got letter from tmo that they wanna settle with me. Of course checque for 196.37GBP enclosed.

In following file You can find all letters, summon, checque,and last letter from tmo later today

Long Live the fighters

btw. i'm so pissed i'll probably send everythink to office for fair trade to fine them :D

sorry to say that, but you should face the following:

- the connector break-off is physical damage. afaik nowhere is covered by warranty.

- if you think soldering is bad for such a heavy device, why not buy a mio 168? :D I will see how you get it repaired under warranty (not that it may break, it WILL break. all of them)

can you tell me which one is the data line as i solder mine back . it charges but wont sync with active sync , there is 5 prangs on the usb connector
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] patrickl:
There are 2 data lines and they are the "middle ones". Well sort of middle since one is not used at all. For some reason they took a 5 pin connector for a 4 wire cable for mini USB.

If you want to know exactly look at the USB pinout description.

In my case one of the data lines was ripped off the main board. So I have to cover it with some tiny cable across it. This is more difficult to fix and I didn't see the need. ActiveSync will work through bleutooth and install of software with cab files of fthe SD card. It's just that it's stuck on the old ROM because I don't think I can flash it.

I had this happen on my uk tmobile mda vario.

they sent it away to get fixed, told it was not warrently, had to pay 70quid to get fixed via tmobile who inturn went to htc

they could not fix it as such, got another handset back (and faulty again)

logged a complaint online, got sent a new vario mda, retail boxed, along with getting the broke vario back, fixed.

this took 4 months tho, this inc me knowing the manager of the local tmobile shop !
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] phsnake:
Yes its physical damage-answer from all shops/repairs.... But its physical damage caused by bad design=inherently faulty goods=waranty/guarantee covers it, by another words seller is solely responsible for all break-ups, damages caused by inherently faulty goods including consequential dammage(ie if fire starts he will have to pay you new house). And within 6mnth, its up to seller to prove that any damage on item you bought in UK is caused by owner/user - if he cannot prove that w/o any doubts court is binded by legal premise that all faults are caused by manufacturer (seller need sto proove that you damaged it)

Can anyone explain why the official Youtube app by Google performs so pathetically?

The design is not bad, but buffering and loading often takes centuries, and sometimes just dies and says network error when my internet is perfectly fine. And then the commenting, not only is the Google+ thing horrible, now the comment on this app also STOPS the video, and sometimes loads forever and wouldn't even work?

I'm really surprised by this because even on Windows Phone 8 there's 3rd party Youtube apps that works miles better than this one (and of course Google had to block MS by making their own Official app which was also pretty good)

I remember when I first started using my TF201 the app was actually in a better place than this, the panoramic view was cool and everything at least works. Am I the only one that feels this way?

So in making the following changes, if I go to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq

and do a 'cat cpuinfo_max_freq' , I get 1600

a 'cat scaling_available_frequencies' gives:

396800 800000 1100000 1300000 1500000 1600000

I have been unable to test properly because my attempts to make a working boot.img have been unsuccessful.

If anyone could share on how to properly package a zImage and ramdisk.cpio.gz into a flashable boot.img, I would be forever thankful.

I've already extracted the "green loader"/cyanoboot and ramdisk from a working boot.img

I would love to get this working. It would also be fairly easy to tweak the Samsung lpddr ram timings. I also noticed the 'succulent' kernel turned down the core voltage slightly...
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] felacio:
OK, so,... are you saying if I go into that folder and make that change it will overclock it?

cuz I'll just go and do that if its that easy. :D

I don't have any knowlege of compiling kernels so I can't help with that.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unsivil_audio:
I believe it was verygreen who said that he experimented with overclock when building CM and determined it was of little benefit to our devices. That said, I would be most interested in seeing how far we can push the OC on these things, but so far no one with knowledge of Android inner workings wants to build anything for our devices.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon Lee:
Success! Check out the attached screenshots. First benchmark is stock CM10.1, second benchmark is with overclocked kernel. CM10.1 doesn't benchmark near as well as CM11 or Carbon, so I imagine I could great results using a Carbon rom.

Awesome man, I'm impressed. Were you modifying voltage as well? Also let us know how far you can take it.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barth2:
Holy cr$$. Does actual use feel as fast as benchmark indicates? Is your nook hot? Does it crash all over the place? (I guess it's stable enough to finish the benchmark!) What does this do to your battery life?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon Lee:
This was mainly meant as a proof of concept, in trying to elicit kernel development discussion and trying to fish for more information on how to do it.

I was slightly frustrated in that there's overclock kernels available for the kindle fire hd (same proc as ours), but if you follow the links to source, the overclock code is always missing. They have AVAILABLE: CPU up to 1.7 and GPU up to 512. I don't think anyone is actually achieving that.

After playing with it for awhile my take is that these things are maxed out already. I did leave stock voltages alone.

1600 seems to work OK, instead of adding extra stepping, prolly easier just to change the two 1500's to 1600's.

GPU over clock is buggy in that it breaks video playback of certain formats (probably a timings issue). I've heard of people getting up to 440.

No overclock is bug free for me.

Samsung lpddr ram timings are interesting, but again not much leeway.

Here's some info to anyone interested.

I used the gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7-2013.04-20130415_linux.tar toolchain, available on the launchpad linaro toolchain binaries download page (after fighting with crosstool-ng).

A big help for me was using a hex editor, ended up compiling okteta.

Take a working boot.img open it in your hex editor. Cut 0000:0000 - 000F:FFFF, this is your "green loader". (I realize this can be done with dd, have at it).

After this has been cut out, your boot.img can be split into zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz using umkbootimg. This will also give the command to put it back together.

mkbootimg --kernel zImage --ramdisk initramfs.cpio.gz --base 0x80000000 --cmdline 'androidboot.console=ttyO0 console=ttyO0,115200n8 def_disp=lcd2' --pagesize 4096 -o new_boot.img

Then you will need to take your new_boot.img and append the green loader onto the beginning (turn off overwrite mode).

To fix ram_console turn on little endian support in kernel config (missing in official builds to date).

Good luck! I wish I had been given this tutorial....

Edit: I also played around with adding various I/O schedulers, I expect to do the same with governors as time permits.

These would probably make the most difference in battery life and performance.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon Lee:
Wrong boot.img. The one posted has IPv6 disabled in the kernel (as an experiment). Most everything google is broken (although browser still works). It does have some interesting logcat entries (googleconversionpings and such). It actually does a good job if you want a very basic secure tablet.

Here, this should be correct.

I think the kernel or the pvr source needs a patch (possibly something to do with remoteproc power management), as the versions I've compiled are unstable.

It could possibly be the command line I'm using?

Could anyone help me on this? Being able to compile working pvr modules would help greatly with kernel development (so the pvr matches the kernel you're hacking).

Anyway I believe the above ROM is going to be my go-to daily driver.

(just the kernel- to be flashed over one of my previous roms).

Much better touchscreen performance (took out the twitch without using "fuzz", and I haven't experienced any more lockups with random/phantom touches, focus/selecting seems to work better too... but I'm still testing).

Surprisingly enough the issues seem to have been with kernel 3.0 i2c-core bus drivers rather than the touchscreen driver itself.

Although overclocking is obviously against CM policy, I'd love it for our Nooks to have access to modifying our CPU speeds.

But then I read awhile back that verygreen said that ocing the CPU didn't improve much and speculated that ocing the GPU would help more. o.o

Same basic overclock and has the touchscreen fixes.

I ran into a problem where my browser was crashing and logs indicated libdrm/dalvik.

Wiping the dalvik cache took care of it. Just FYI, as it took me forever to figure out.

I haven't had a single crash on this kernel yet.

This one should run much cooler than even stock.

I will try it! Thanks!

EDIT2: Wow, it is really stable and fast. But i have extreme touchscreen twitching on the right hand side of the screen. Increasing Fuzz fixed that for me in other builds.

Be sure to wipe dalvik cache!

I'm not sure if you can use titanium to restore apps from 10.2 to 10.1 without causing problems.

Just a note, you won't be able to flash my kernel updates on stock CM without being prepared to adb push /system/lib/modules/*

(IE bootloops, etc)

If you continue to have problems with wl12xx, I would take a look at your wireless access point settings (perhaps change encryption type, etc).
