[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] crackmulah:
I am looking for a good app that can handle all my reading/book needs. I want it to be able to load ebooks that I manually put on it, and integrate with Google Play Books/Kindle/Nook, and I want to be able to manually paste in text of short stories that I find online to create a mini ebook within the app itself. If there is a simple way to create a ebook file off of plain text, thats fine, if i can then load it into this app. The ability to load audiobooks(just large audio files, often mp3) would also be good, but I can also just do that through Google Music if necessary.

Does anyone know of any such app? Am I dreaming too big? :)
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] Galactic2:
Dreaming way too big.. lol.

The only way to get access to the major services' books (Google/Kindle/Nook) is to use their official apps. I don't think there are any 3rd party apps than can access their servers. Google Play does allow you to upload .pdfs and .epubs to their servers, but i believe only through their website IIRC.

Moon Reader is a nice app you can use for files on your device.

I don't know of any apps that can create .epub. But google and you shall find.
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] crackmulah:
yea thought so :(

your information is really helpful. i had no idea i could upload pdfs to play books, thats a huge helper thank you.
[Nexus 9 Themes and Apps] ritchea:
Calibre may be of some help to you. It is a computer application that can import ebooks from many sources (paid-DRM/free) and convert e-formats. You can access on your device from anywhere with Aldiko Reader--maybe others, too. Once I buy a book from Amazon or Nook or Kobo, I import it into Calibre. I can also import texts that I create through a word processor. The program does much more than I ever use or will use. You do have to have a computer.

interesting and will probably end up being very helpful! thanks!

+1 on Calibre! No matter where my ebooks come from I import them into Calibre, convert them and upload them to Play Books so that they sync across all my devices.
[Shield Q&A] PoCult7:
I'm completely overwhelmed with this Shield at the moment. Can't even think straight, because it's frustrating me so much. I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader. Now, I tried to update to 99, but it won't let me. So, finally, I decided to change it back to stock. After several attempts at this, now when it loads it just sits at a black screen. Before I got it to work, but it wouldn't check for updates and oddly enough the Play Store was acting weird (downloading slow, operating slow). Not sure if that's relevant, but I get 1.8 MB/s download speed, so I know it's not me. Everything else downloads just fine.

I'm using this thing called Shield Ram which includes adb, cwm recovery, fastboot, and the likes.

***Update***

While typing this, I was able to get the Shield back up after trying to flash the stock rom, but I still have the issue where I can't update.

I go to About Shield/System updates/ and it says "Your system is up to date. Last checked for update at 3:46PM." With a Check now button that doesn't work.

I know that there's update 99 out, but it's on 68 refusing to update or even check for it. I fear that rooting and unlocking it screwed everything up!

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Shield Q&A] PoCult7:
Screwed Shield Up! (Solved - I think)

So, just in case anyone is having the same problems as me. I followed this thread to a T and so far it seems to be working. I didn't install the root, though, because it seems like that is what got me in trouble in the first place. Not sure if that was bad or if now it's not rooted and that's the end of it. Hopefully I can just update normally, but if all else fails, then I'll have to reflash or reroot. Again, hopefully it doesn't come down to that.

[Nexus 6  General] Dr. Burgle:
So as we all know the Nexus 6 takes a nano sim. Most Sprint phones use micro sim with the exceptions of the M8 and the iPhone. Myself having an M7 currently I need a nano sim for my new nexus unless I want to cut my micro which I would rather not if I can just get one from Sprint.

So my journey begins...2 sprint stores didn't have any, 3rd Sprint store which was a repair center also had nano sims but didn't want to give me one due to "There are different models of nano sims depending on the phone you are using it in. Such as the nano for the HTC One M8 will not work in the iPhone 5 nano slot."

So at this point I drove a little further and went to the campus store inside the old Sprint/Nextel headquarters in Reston, VA. They still use these headquarters as a D.C. market Sprint Campus. I talked with a guy in the campus store and he said the same thing that the repair center did. However he had the repair guy go into the database to see if the Nexus 6 was listed with what model of nano sim it was comparable with so he could give me one. Alas the Nexus 6 is not in Sprints database yet so he stated that he didn't know which model nano sim would be compatible and if he just randomly gave me one it may not work. Then sent me away with the advice of come back after the phone is released and they will have had the system updated with the phone and he could see what nano model would work and get me one.

I'm not sure how accurate any of this if is but it forces me to wait until I get the phone and then go to the store to see if they have more info/the nano sim, hopefully I am not sitting with the phone for days waiting on Sprint.

*EDIT*

To get the correct SIM from Sprint just follow the instructions below

Open this link

http://sprintworldwide.custhelp.com/app/chat/chat_launch

Then tell them you need the following SIM

Item# 760494000114

SKU: CZ2124LWC

you can do 3-5 day free shipping or pay for next day
[Nexus 6  General] killakarl:
Just chat with international help chat. Tell them you need a Sim for the iPhone 6 or 6 plus. They will send you one at no cost.
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
I've never of heard that. I use the same nano SIM for my iPhone 6, both my Moto X's, and my Nexus 5 (with an adapter). I also used it in my iPhone 5s, so it's not a different model there either. The only way the M8 uses a different nano sim is if it's proprietary for the M8, which I highly doubt. The standard nano SIM works in all nano SIM phones. Just go back to the place that had them but gave you the runaround, and tell them you want the one for the iPhone. It will work just fine in the N6 because again, they are all the same.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr. Burgle:
Thanks to the both of you for the advice, I may try to go back to the store and ask for one again regardless of the run around they give me, worst case I will contact international chat. I thought the different nano sim models sounded wrong but wasn't 100% sure.
[Nexus 6  General] 2fastkuztoms:
International chat sent me one overnight for free, they told me it was $12.95 for fast shipping, i told her that i wanted standard free one. The order was made on saturday and arrived on tuesday. Remember you need the 4ff sim, the one of m8 or moto x 1 gen.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr. Burgle:
Perfect, I found out there are different ones but wasn't sure which one I needed, This narrows it down for me.

Thanks

Be advised that they would try to send you a sim for the phone on your account, tell them you bought a sprint moto x and you need the sim to activated it
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
There is only one kind of nano sim, and yes, it is the 4ff one. 3ff is a micro sim, 2ff is a mini sim, and 1ff is the full sized one.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr. Burgle:
This is the mail I just got from Sprint after complaining enough

"DrBurgle

We would hate to see you leave and would like you to use your phone through our network. The UICC SKU for the Nexus 6 will be CZ2124LWC. This is the same SKU used for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus. Just let the store know this is what you need.

[Nexus 6  General] RoscoeDpG:
hope to find out by 19th lol
[Nexus 6  General] _MetalHead_:
If it's a nano sim then yes, it'll work.
[Nexus 6  General] marctronixx:
i called today and spoke with a phone rep and was told the same thing re: the phone is not in their system yet, there are different sims and they dont have any in stock to send out.

the rep and telesales both said sprint corp stores will have plenty of sims for the nex 6 in the store once the phone is released.

i did not push further because its not that crucial for me to go through those hoops and would prefer to wait until the phone is released to make sure i get one thats designed for the nex 6.

thanks for starting this thread...
[Nexus 6  General] 2fastkuztoms:
Here's an confirmation i got from international, its the same as Dr. Burble mentioned.

I use normal chat and telesales and none of them know the model.

I chat using the international chat and got the order of the sim and model in less than 5 minutes.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GadgetAvi:
Hi guys,

My mom's device (S2 I9100) has this problem, it won't charge to 100%....

So I ordered new Original battery + New charger from Samsung store in my country.

It was fine for a few days and then it started again, today the device reached 63% and won't charge anymore...

I opened it up, removed the battery for 5 minutes, and then turned on the device and it was on 51% (?!?@?@#)

It's drives me crazy, I can't figure out what's wrong with it, I did tried battery calibration when it reached 100% last week,

but here we are and the problem returned...

Some info: I'm running stable version of official CM11-M11, everything else is perfect in this rom!

And before CM11, I was on some Samsung based custom rom and the problem existed even then...

What do I do?

Thanks!

Other known issues?

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keithn:
As far as the cracking sides they will RMA any that have the issue. Supposedly it was a build issue in earlier batches that has been resolved. I just had my replacement RMA because the screen was super sensitive to pressure and the center would show the lcd waves even with light use of the sylus. I just told them it was abnormal compared to my last one and they RMAed it for me. I wouldn't say the build is on par with my M8 but it's no worse than my old 1st gen N7.
