[Nook Touch General] due23:
I am in the UK and have a Nook Simple Touch Glow-light. It was on f/w version 1.2.1 and would not connect to the internet. I downloaded the nook_1_2_update.zip from the USA B&N site at copied it to the Nook using the USB connection from my PC. However it would not update to 1.2.2, the zip file just disappears.

I then used the excellent Nook Region Changer, and changed the Nook to USA region. I again wrote the nook_1_2_update.zip file to the Nook using the USB connection, and after the next wake up cycle on my nook it updated to 1.2.2 and allowed me to register on the USA B&N website and browse books, etc, but not do any social media things, and also I cannot buy books or download free ones as I do not have a USA home address, which is required.

I again used Nook Region Changer and put my nook back to UK version, but this process 'lost' the 1.2.2 update so I am back to square one.

Apparently the two firmware updates to move a USA NST/G to FW 1.2.2 (downloaded from USA B&N site) and the one to ove a UK NST/G to 1.2.2 (downloaded from the now defunct UK B&N website) are different and incompatible.

My questions is "Does anyone have a copy of the UK version of the nook_1_2_update.zip file please?"

I would like to thank you guys at XDA for your very comprehensive and detailed information about the NST/G, and the tools supplied.
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
There will never be another update other than the US one you have already tried. I think you may be expecting too much from the device at this point. A made-up USA address might be of some use, but I doubt it. Even with US firmware from the US I could never get the Google stuff to work and I just assume that B&N never cared much about updating URLs and APIs for the social media stuff and just wanted to be sure US customers could still purchase books. But that's my somewhat cynical take.

Anyway, you can always go back to US 1.2.2 and then delete ALL the B&N stuff and build your own reader if that suits you. See here: https://xdaforums.com/nook-touch/general/nst-g-removing-bn-apps-t3972941
[Nook Touch General] due23:
Thanks for the quick reply, I will do as you suggest. The Nook is a reasonable little reader and the glowlight is a nice feature.

You are quite right, I think I am expecting a little too much from it.

All the best,

Hello

I'm looking for update 1.2.2 zip - tried to download from b&n website but its faulty.

I'm trying to turn nook into gps device but cant connect to internet (connecting to wifi but shows network-related error)

I hope version 1.2.2 will fix it.

Thank you
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Faulty? What happens?

Did you remember to do a factory reset before trying the update? You cannot update a rooted device with that zip.
[Nook Touch General] fdxx:
maybe thats the problem... I need to find original 1.2.1 (or something) software first and then update...
[Nook Touch General] fdxx:
region change to US is the way to go with 1.2.2 update
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Well, yes. I should have asked that question also...
[Nook Touch General] jteed:
Where does one download the 1.2.2.zip file? It's not on B&N anywhere I can find.

Thank you.

[Nook Touch General] Birdish:
I was having this exact problem but I couldn't use the Nook Region Changer because step #4 is to reset the device which I couldn't do because it couldn't connect to the internet (RAGE!!!). I have spent days trying to sort this out it's absolutely ridiculous.

I have finally found this page: https://heeed.net/resetting-a-nook-simple-touch/ which has helped me to reset it to factory settings and get it working to a basic level again without being registered.

I'm furious really that B&N won't give us a working update so we can at least use Wifi on our devices, WTF?! Disgusting customer service! Anyway, hope that link helps someone else!
[Nook Touch General] nmyshkin:
Well, I also have learned a bit since my original post. See here: https://xdaforums.com/t/nst-g-dealing-with-non-us-aka-uk-devices-in-2021.4233411/

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Flatric:
Hello,

I bought a mi mix 2s some time ago and it's currently running the china rom because I can't unlock the bootloader the next 10 days.

First of all I can call other people and I can use mobile data. Also I'm able to receive calls if the sim is in my old oneplus one.

Now to my problem:

Today I realized that there must be a problem if someone calls me but I couldn't really figure out under what circumstances the issue appears.

However, I could figure out the following:

If I'm on wifi calls work most of the time

If I'm on 4g I don't receive calls most of the time

If I'm on H+ I receive calls most of the time

If the phone is locked I either get the call or the mailbox answers

If I don't get the call there are two things that happen on the phone that is calling me:

If it's a samsung theres just one loud beep and the call ends

If it's a LG there are fast beeps (similar like if the phone is busy)

Thanks in advance for any help

Flatric

EDIT: Just figured out that the problem is that the phone takes too long to switch from 4g to 3g since VoLTE is not supported by my carrier... Found some guys in a forum who complained about the same problem but with a oneplus phone... I'm still open for any ideas that could fix that:D Maybe someone from germany here who uses O2/Eplus network and got the same problem?

EDIT2: http://en.miui.com/thread-935378-1-1.html Used this to enable VoLTE but can't test if it's working until tomorrow
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] Flatric:
Fixed it by the way by enabling VoLTE with the miui dialer code explained here
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Atronid:
Hello everybody,

I plan to buy a Xiaomi Mi A1 but there's an hardware related issue that set me up.

This issue is called micro USB type C.

Since almost nobody got it, I know having this kind of stuff will be hard but I'm ready to be a charging-loner. I won't compromise my buy just for a detail (between the facts that there's no FM radio and NFC also)

However! I am new to these technical questions and I'm not really at my ease. So I'd like to know some specs about this technology.

I DO NOT expect to have better charge/data transfer performances with it, because I got old stuff I won't change for the phone, on my PC for exemple (no way to pay for replacing my USB type B 2.0).

So do the cable the seller provide (if provided) is good for my everyday use? Let's say I want to plug my phone to my PC to drop some pictures. Will it work without harming anything or I'll have to buy more cables or adapter? Also can I wire a single charging block with a micro USB type C - USB type A/B ?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] CosmicDan:
You can just get micro USB to USB C adapter plug things, it will work fine. USB Cable is fully backwards compatible. The adapters are like a dollar or more/less and you can find them on any decent gadget site or eBay. Get a couple and keep one in your wallet even.

Phone comes with a USB C cable with regular USB on the other end, it's nothing special. You don't need a USB C port on a computer.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] cherryb8844:
Start with hardware I'm satisfied with my mi a1 I can use it with anything and anywhere sync with pc my console tv no problem I'm using it just like before I used my galaxy s2 (5 year older device) I didn't purchased anything separately mi a1 come with one adaptor charger and a one meter USB type c cable and my pc more older then my galaxy s2

Talking about FM you can run any fm app. it have fm hardware I'm on custom rom and nowdays developer provide fm in there custom rom on stock you can get it via root access and installing spirit fm. You said you're not aspecting better data transfer or charging so it's pathetic. (no offense sorry but you are living in 80)

In this era company's trying to provide there customer better hardware in cheaper cost and that's a future!

Xiaomi didn't provide fast charge for our device but it capable for it why!? because if they purchase license for quick charge from qualcomm so they must pay for it or this purchase will definitely become heavy on customers whereas without quick charge my device charge full in one and half hour (if I'm on stock rom maybe one hour and 45 minutes exactly) but it more faster then my old galaxy s2 it's tack up to three hours for full charge replaced battery 1650 mah. file transfer rate is satisfying I mention that I'm using older pc.

On hardware level that device have Samsung EMMC, DDR, front camera LCD is more bright then Moto g5s plus my friend have that device (g5s+).

Talking about warranty I've read about that on XDA and YouTube you can claim your warranty whereas you flashed custom rom on it (just flash stock rom and lock boot loader your warranty is back).
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Atronid:
Thank you for you answers!

Actually I can explain why I seem to "hate" this new kind of USB. Although it's really practical, I was just affraid to pay lot and having to think too much just for a cable.

Before I create this thread I read articles about this in my native language, and the comment were full of oldies complaining that "well another stuff our USB are already dead they're annoying it will always go faster we'll have to pay always more" blah blah blah.

I didn't really care of these messages, but articles (well written and purely objective) talked about harm in a specifical case due to incompatibility so I was affraid. This is also the reason why I didn't specially expect better performance, for exemple in charging, in the case I charge my phone on my PC. But maybe with a dedicated block charge is faster, I believe that but if it's not the case for some reason (I'm really lost...) I won't be deceived.

You managed to reassure me so it's fine. I just got one last question I'd like you to answer if you know.

I know basically it's a hardware related thread, but to avoid thread pollution if I could avoid creating another...

It's about root, especially under Oreo, with a process that seems really... Hard. Never heard about a device you have to flash a modified kernel to work before, and as a camera problem troubleshooting the fact to set your SELinux environment to permissive... Just crazy for me. What do you think?
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sipollo:
To root the phone you can simply flash Magisk zip after booting temporary TWRP. To fix camera lags there is a specific module that allow necessary permissions while mantaining selinux enforcing.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Atronid:
I'm OK with that, but it's only valid with Nougat, not Oreo?

I didn't hear that much about camera lags but worse, camera not working at all.

It was on Oreo, but I could try to root before getting the Oreo update after all.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] N1ck474:
It's valid on Oreo too, camera working fine, it doesn't work only on a beta leaked ROM, no problems if you keep Stock 8.0 ROM or Any 8.1 custom ROM.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] nahuelvvn:
Type C is almost the same MicroUSB with diferent shape... compatible with any charger/pc/any normal USB plug. and since its is the newest tech, most high-end and mid-high devices use type C (every samsung A and S series since 2017, huawei new phones, to mention the 2 first at market share), so its actually a positive thing if you plan to keep this phone a couple years. It will become more popular soon.

About the root/Gcam thing: I did the whole process in like 20 mins (reading carefully every post in the forums) and its working like a charm. It was easier to root than my last samsung. Everything working fine, even OTAs with magisk update trick. Dont be afraid and try the available guides!

Its a great phone for its price
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] TrueMS:
USB-C was new for me, but I got used to it. I cant see any diference between normal micro-usb and this one, if we dont count the shape. :)
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] kutulu32:
Ι think USB type c cables are sturdier than micro SD ones. I mean the connector not the actual cable. For my Samsung S7 I need every 2-3 months new cable(connector looses or cannot charge-fastcharge). The type c cables that I use in my LG HiFi plus dac,Kodak ektra and mia1 are still like new and show no defect yet.

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] Atronid:
Alright, I will check it out and count your advice for my choice.

Telling you the truth, I was really excited to buy such a great device for my (low) budget but I still mistrustful. The constructor is chinese and I think you got my opinion about this.

I'm truly not racist but it's a fact, chinese constructors usually do low quality that break really fast or with terrible dysfunctions.

Xiaomi seems to be a serious brand, but I'm still doubting.
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] 5amar31:
These people don't know the location of proximity sensor & that causes this issue. Go to *#*#6484#*#* & then ALS/PS and you can check it works as intended. Because it is towards the left of the top bezel, the screen turns on while on call because they aren't holding it well.

I want to mount a 7 or 10 inch touch screen to access my S6plus in my old Jeep. I think i would prefer wired to wireless

but either should work. I would like to be able to power/charge the phone from the 12volts from the Jeep and be able

to use the 4G for internet access. I would like to have the S6plus in the glove box or mounted out of site and due the

control from the touchscreen. Can anyone tell me how to make this happen and or what i need to make this work?

My Jeep is older can not accept a double din unit and even a single din with a POP OUT touchscreen will not work as

the way the dash is would block the monitor from coming out. Bluetooth can carry the audio and i tried it and it sounds

great. IT would be so nice to be able to see the maps and GPS without holding up the phone which now will get me a

$200.00 plus ticket. I look forward to reading your ideas.

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Search&Destroy:
Hey there,

I bought a new USB Stick (Corsair Flash Voyager GTX 512GB USB 3.1) as external storage for my ZenFone 2 but if I connect it with a USB OTG cable it does not even start up (the LED from the USB Stick does not flash).

Now the testing started:

Does the cable work? Yes it does, I have 2 different USB OTG cables and both work on my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Lineage OS 14.1 - Android 7.1.2 Update 19th April 2018) WITH this Stick! -> that means, the cables are fine!

Does USB OTG not work with this device?

I connected my (realy) old 2GB USB 2.0 (OCZ ATV) and the LED is flashing and I can read/write to the Stick.

Maybe there is some trouble with USB 3.0?

My Kingston FCR-HS4 USB 3.0 cardreader does also work fine! (5.01V-5.03V@0.04A-0.11A if I write some files to it - Idle: 5.03V-5.04V@0.02A).

Does the stick need to much power?

I have a 'USB Safety Tester' that is just like a USB Multimeter (Volt & Ampere). I connected it with the stick to my PC and the SGS3 and it start up with about 5.04V@0.17A at my SGS3 and 5.00V@0.17A. If I write some files to the stick it is about 0.2A max.

Then I wanted to see how much load can the USB connector (ZenFone) deliver. I connected the USB OTG and the USB Safety Tester to the ZenFone and then put a USB cable to the SGS3 to charge the battery of the SGS3 -> Idle Voltage: 5.04V Charging Voltage: 4.94V-4,95V @ 0,36A.

OK as you can see, it has enough power to handle the stick.

But what I realized if I connect the stick with the 'USB Safety Tester' is, that the ZenFone turns off the power (at the USB Port, not the device itself) instantly if I connect the stick to the phone.

After that I cant use other devices with the cable, not even the Tester without the stick (or any other device connected) - at first I have to disconnect and connect the cable again and the Tester start up!

But every time I connect the stick, the power turns off!

Any ideas how to solve that, I realy want to use that USB Stick.

Btw. I formatted it as exFAT and even as FAT32 (with the Software Fat32Formatter) - it makes no difference (because it does not even start up for sure).

Btw2. I dont know if this makes a difference but the stick is not listed as "Devices with Removable Storage" , it is listed at "Hard Disk Drives" on my PC (Win7).

TIPS:

You need to flash stock boot.img when you go from SuperSU to Magisk or vice versa.

You can flash stock recovery (if you have twrp) so you can safely update phone without bootloop.

If you're entering stock Android 8, 8.1 & 9 recovery, you will get screen ''No command''. To bypass this just hold power button for 2-3 seconds then press volume up at the same time.

Comment if links don't work.
