i got one tat broke on first day, one week, one month, three months, longest was six months.

gw so far lasted two yrs....give up on china phones. :fingers-crossed:

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brentil:
I had bought a Nook HD+ to be the replacement for my aging 1st generation Kindle Fire (Otter) tablet. However after having had it for 6 months now I've been rather disappointed with it. On paper it should have been better than my OG KF in every way but in reality that has not been true.

Nook HD+

Released 2012

1.50GHz TI OMAP 4470 (ARM Cortex A9 + PowerVR SGX 544)

1 GB of memory

32 GB storage (controller without issue too)

CM11 Nightly 2014.08.02 installed to internal storage

Davlik, stock kernel, not overclocked

Kindle Fire

Released 2011

1GHz TI OMAP 4430 (ARM Cortex A9 + PowerVR SGX540)

512 MB of memory

8 GB storage

CM11 Nightly 2014.08.02 installed to internal storage

Davlik, stock kernel, not overclocked

Whenever it comes to anything relating to the screen though this old as dirt KF tablet still performs better than this much newer and on paper better device. The Nook HD+ is obviously better as most apps perform much better like browsing FB app, looking at web pages with lots of content, running any number of non-visual intensive apps.

Places the Nook HD+ bogs down.

Paging around in the home screen stutters when loading icons even if the page has already been loaded.

Closing an app and returning to the home screen is extremely sluggish and then requires reloading of each page.

The boot animation is completely embarrassing, it jitters and skips like it's been beaten to death.

Scrolling through large pages of data in Chrome jitters rather badly.

Some games with intensive video requirements are just nasty at times. Running really slow or slowing down over time.

This video shows the KF next to the Nook HD+ to show how horrible the start animation is. After loading I page left then right and you can see the home page stutter on loading the icons when I come back left.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEJK-VUZunk

This video shows loading PvZ 2 where just the loading screens alone are running slower and jitter more. Then when loaded menus take longer to load and are very jittery compared to the KF.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCG8GKIWyso

Note - I even removed the overclock from the KF for these tests.

I realize the resolution is greater on the HD+ than the KF but the Amazon KF HD 8.9" uses the same hardware as the HD+ and it doesn't have the same issues. I also recall when running the stock firmware the system was much more responsive than it is under CM11 (any version).

This really seems like a lack of a good video driver or something wrong with the memory management.

I'm looking for serious discussion on this and not "well mine works fine so it must be yours..." or suggestions of running some random ROM or running TRIM or tweaking some random setting. This is something more than basic settings as I've already tried several over the last 6 months along with fresh installs of CM.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2092952:
Your hd+ looks normal. I wouldn't think about it too much as its more than likely not getting better than that.

I just bought a new phone and the hardware made android so much more snappier then it was on the last one no matter how much people had tweaked the roms.

Just how it is. Its a cheap tablet with a nice size screen and hardware not quite capable.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odenknight:
I've installed CM11 for two of my friends on their HD+'s, and their is snappier than mine. All are fresh installs. There is a very noticeable difference between mine (purchased in June, 2013), and theirs (purchased in May & June 2014). I didn't write everything down, but there was very little difference in the information for each device as reported by Quadrant.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
You maybe experiencing lag since you have been running longer (since 2013, not just with CM11). Also you may have a different emmc chip than they do. There are hardware differences between some devices
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Odenknight:
Thanks for the info. I'll ask them to send me the device info and I'll compare them both. Based off of what you said earlier, it may be due to too many writes to the chip? If so, I can live with that. I did abuse the heck out of it.

Thanks to you, VG, and everyone else in the community who put all of this together.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
That is exactly what I meant. But if you run CM11 enough, it may speed up due to it running TRIM in the background.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2092952:
Idk. Had two of these, one for three months and this one since around when you got yours. It performs as I remember and as I expect.

But since your comparing directly to another aren't ALL electronics that way? This display is more blue than that one, this hard drive has more errors that that one. This cpu can be oc'd more than that one.

There's always things causing speed differences. Background services, amount of free space - its best to have >50% free space, amount of installed apps, what leapinlar pointed out, etc.

In one month they could have no noticeable difference. Tis all I'm saying.

[You might was to switch over to using art instead of dalvic as well if not already. It may/may not help in making it feel faster as its suppoed to be the PBT™ (Performance Boosting Thing). Mine is on art. You may also want to go into the recovery and do a full backup before that.]
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neoage:
Pardon my ignorance, but how do you do this?
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2092952:
This post is for a phone, but it is the same for all devices (I just randomly picked a post):

http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-4-4-kitkat/404625-enabling-art-android-4-4-3-devices.html

Quote "To enable ART, Go to settings => About Phone =>Then go to Build Number and tap on Build Number until it ask if you want to enable Developer Options (or something in that effect) Once you say yes, Go back once and above About Phone you should see Developer options.

Under Developer options, go to "Select Runtime" (which should be on Dalvik) and select ART. Once you do this it will need to reboot your phone and then it will go through an update process on your Apps. Depending on how many Apps you have this can take a bit. I suggest doing when you won't need your phone for a few minutes and also make sure to plug your phone into power to help it go faster.

Once it is done, I suggest testing one or two apps to make sure they work. Then I would reboot your phone one more time. (This seems to fix a noticed app lag after the update). Once it comes back up, use your phone as normal and enjoy the free speed boost and a little added battery life. I have not noticed any issue with the 168 apps on my Nexus 5 nor any stability issue with the device, but again you millage may vary on your device and apps."

Some additional notes:

I stress doing a full recovery backup first. If you don't have enough internal space available, then that may cause it to be unusable when android starts up due to it failing while configuring art.

Phones (and other low internal storage devices) are a bit problematic due to amount of space available. My htc sensation couldn't enable art from not enough internal space. But the nook hd+ (for instance) has plenty (assuming its not all used).

Art is supposed to be enabled automatically in the next android release.

"With the L Developer Preview, ART is now the default runtime."

https://developer.android.com/preview/api-overview.html

Art requires more space due the fact that apps are pre-compiled during install:

"ART, on the other hand, uses an Ahead-of-Time compiler (AOT) to process application instructions before they're needed so things run more smoothly for the user."

http://lifehacker.com/android-art-vs-dalvik-runtimes-effect-on-battery-life-1507264545

You'll possibly lose about half a GB or more. It just depends on how many apps including the apps included with the rom.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cutefuzzybunny:
The reason why the hd+ has poorer performance is probably due to it dragging a 1920x1080 (2073600 pixels) screen while the Fire has a 1024x600 screen (614400 pixels). Processing a full 1080p screen vs a 600 makes a big difference. The 544 isn't much of an upgrade over the 540 to make up for it. While it doubles the frame rate in graphics by about 2x over the 540, its having to push more than 3x the pixels.

Apple had the same issue with the ipad 3 when they went to the retina screen. It was a bit of a dog on pushing the retina screen, hence the quick rollout of the ipad 4 with a much faster cpu and gpu.

Lastly, amazon has a lot of pretty good paid developers optimizing the heck out of the Fire. I doubt its running a stock google display/graphics driver.

One of the things with high density displays. They're pretty and nice for text but you need plenty of horsepower to run them.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brentil:
I signed up for alerts but doesn't seem like I was getting them.

I was comparing it to the OG Kindle Fire because it was the first real Android tablet and it's old as dirt now. Also as mentioned in the other performance vs stock thread when running the default Nook HD+ OS the interface is a lot more responsive and games perform better too. It seems like there's something missing between those kernel's/drivers and the CM version.

Of note these commits might help us with some of our issues. It looks like they're enabling a 128 MB swap partition for this device.

After a couple of Mobile Odin Pro flash fails and restoring the original firmware with desktop Odin, I now have a strange problem: everything works ok on 2G/3G/H/H+ but when I switch to 4G I have only data and no signal bars. I tested data connection and it works ok but, of course, when I try to make a call it says "no service". If I switch back to 3G, everything works on again.

I tried factory reset, wipe cache (from recovery), nothing seems to work.

Any ideea how to fix this?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jayjr1105:
So I have an original 16GB 1GB RAM Nook Tablet with Cyano-Boot bootloader and CWM 6.0.4.5 (latest). I rebooted into recovery from CM11, wiped system/data/cache and installed new ROM but after the reboot it just goes right back into recovery. Even if I hold the 'n' button I can't override the bootloader to make a selection manually. I've tried all kinds of things but nothing seems to let me out of recovery. At this point I'm going to let the battery run dry and hope it's something being kept in cache/ram. Help would be appreciated.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviman123:
So ive been using my G3 for about 10 days now and have been getting pretty bad battery life at work with airplane mode on and only wifi and wanted to really test out the battery last night by leaving it unplugged overnight. I usually keep my phone plugged in overnight but since it was the weekend i was home on saturday and it was in the charger for basically the whole day i decided to test the battery. I unplugged the phone at around 2:50 and took the screenshots below at around 8. I lost 29% of my battery during that time and i was SHOCKED!!! my phone was on 4G however i have really good service where i live and was on 4-5 bars all night. the phone didn't have bluetooth, wifi, nfc... ect active. The phone was on 15% brightness (if that even matters since the screen was off all night). Before i took the screenshots i went into battery and saw that an app called "lyft" was said to use 70% so i uninstalled it before taking that screenshots. I really don't know what i should do because i am rooted and have already installed a tempered glass screen protector. Please help if possible!

Screenshots: http://imgur.com/j3kbWyJ ; http://imgur.com/EZekrFw

Edit: Its 9:37 now and around an hour and a half after i uninstalled lyft. I am now at 68% which is better than last night however still pretty bad considering i had a screen on time since last night of just 6 minutes and 29 seconds. Here are the screenshoot updates: http://imgur.com/azs4SWK ; http://imgur.com/DNZu8n9 ; http://imgur.com/qrz4nrx

Edit #2: Battery life continuing to drain fast i have 59% which means i have lost 9% in less than 2 hours of virtually no screen on time. I am very concerned and don't know what to do? If anyone has had this issue please let me know. Screenshots: http://imgur.com/8nOgVgj ; http://imgur.com/lSywjj4 ; http://imgur.com/KqGYAVK
