[Nook Color General] TangoQ:
So, I bought my wife a nook Color. She's an English teacher and she's embraced technology as a teaching aid, so I figured it would be perfect.

I did not modify the nook AT ALL. All I did was put some ebooks on it from around the web, loaded onto an SD card. Nothing unusual beyond it being a few THOUSAND files in .epub and .pdf format.

ANYHOW, she's seen issues.

First, she saw issues where the nook thought she was tapping constantly in the exact same spot. To be exact, the spot where the 'b' is. If we hit the nook home button, it kept clicking the book that was in the exact same spot as the 'b' button was. Shutting the nook off entirely fixed it.

Second, frequent lockups during normal use. Sometimes in the browser. Other times flipping through PDFs. Android itself usually wasn't locked up since we could hold the power button and get the dialog asking us if we REALLY wanted to shut it down, but the nook overlay GUI was certainly dead to us. Again, a hard reset (power button until it shut down) and power up fixed this without a problem.

At this point, we thought it would be a good idea to swap this out as a potential hardware issue. We bought it from Best Buy, so back to BB we went and swapped it out for another nookColor.

Now, we're seeing more issues, but different ones.

Third, the power cable doesn't seem to want to fit properly into the USB port like the last one did. A little play and it slides in ok, so no big deal.

Fourth, buttons are sensitive to where it thinks we tapped twice. I don't think this is a real issue since it's a matter of learning the device I think.

Fifth, and fairly important... this only happened once. It lost all sound. We have a child who's just over 1 year old, so the B&N's stance to try to set a high focus on that aspect was awesome, especially the childrens' books with the professional voice actors.

Now, it's my opinion that it's just an OS that was released prematurely. I think many of these issues will be fixed with the first update. Am I alone in these issues? Has anybody else seen anything similar?

For the record, I've taken a very hands-off experience with this since I'm extremely technologically savvy, and I wanted my wife to be able to run it without needing me there. None of these issues have persisted throughout a shutdown-reboot except for the sound issue. It required an 'erase and unregister' through the device info in settings.
[Nook Color General] echto:
I bought a NC for myself and a day later my wife bought one at the same B&N. The one she bought had terrible screen flicker so we exchanged it for another. The second NC would FC on her ebooks, drop wifi, and would make a cheap plastic creak when pressed to tight on the left side. Thinking the bad batch idea we exchanged the NC at a different B&N and the third one had the same screen flicker the first one had so we turned around and went back and exchanged it for a fourth one. Finally. The fourth one worked fine and does not creak at all.

I wouldn't necessarily say your problems are OS related. Android has been running on a lot of portable devices for quite some time now. I think it can be considered a mature OS. The ebooks we have that caused the second NC to FC work flawlessly on my NC and the new fourth one. Rebooting the second NC didn't help with the FC'ing and wifi dropping. So we felt the problem was hardware related like the screen flickering. Our feeling was we didn't want to mess around, it's $250, we were determined to keep exchanging until we found one that worked.

You might want to think about exchanging it for another. Who knows how many will remain to be in stock as the date gets closer to Christmas. I wouldn't recommend trying to exchange it after Christmas, you may end up getting a re-shrink wrapped one that was returned for some unknown reason.
[Nook Color General] mrintegrity:
android is becoming mature but the nook is oem'dto death. This os is crap by all accounts! Once something better is available we will see improvements
[Nook Color General] TainT:
The screen thing is turning out to be kinda common.

Good news is.... its being blamed on an oversensitive screen, dirt and or moisture. Any tiny bit of the latter two. Usually fixes itself right up with a wiping or a screen protector and a lock/unlock of the device.

I have experienced and read about the charger cord too.....have yet to see any problems because of it but do worry about having to re-solder something sooner or later.

I have to wonder about the usefulness of a Nook Color as "a teaching tool" right outta the box though?? Besides making your wife a walking reference that is.
[Nook Color General] rbebber:
was it plugged in? There are issues when plugged in and tapping.
[Nook Color General] mtmyers:
I also had to "wiggle" the USB cord to get it to fit into my Nook as well.

I had the creak on the left side as well. Haven't had a chance to exchange it yet, but it's on the radar.
[Nook Color General] TangoQ:
I don't mean a tool to use with the students, I figured it may make things easier on her if she's got ALL of the books she uses with her students on a single table that she can carry around the classroom referencing instead of needing 30 different books. I don't know if it was a fool's idea yet or not! It's the thought that counts. ;)
[Nook Color General] TainT:
Defiantly save on the back!!

Nice one, guess I just want mine to do everything

Galaxy Tabs.....Worth every penny!!
[Nook Color General] TchnclFl:
My first nook had the sound problem, except it would happen every 15 minutes and only hard reboot would fix it.

I replaced it and the second works flawlessly (as far as I can tell).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corange:
I'm wondering is that possible to flash vibrant's rom into i9000m.

I really wanna switch my carrier to Mobilicity(AWS 1700/2100).

I found a post this morning about someone dismantling a dead i9000m.

He was like everything inside i9000m is just as same as i9000t.

So I thought maybe i9000m can flash the modem rom of vibrant to make 1700/2100 work?

excuse my English.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerham:
No, it is not possible to change the I9000M radio to have AWS. The hardware is different.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srkoza:
is this possible yet please pm me if it is
[HD2 General] GulDucat:
My phone(s) are both Telstra HD2's that I've SPL'd and flashed with the standard WWE ROM from HTC as well as the latest Artemis ROM's. This behavior happens regardless of ROM.

Here's what happens: When the phone is linked via Bluetooth to either a PhoneLabs Dock-N-Talk or Xlink Bluetooth phone gateway, the HD2's will occasionally Freeze/Lock-Up after a call is ended. The lock-up is so profound that the only way to revive the phone is to remove the battery, re-insert it, and turn the phone back on.

No matter what buttons are pressed, the screen shows only the call in progress display, frozen and no amount of pressing or tapping revives the phone. At first I thought it was a PhoneLabs Dock-N-Talk issue, so I bought an Xlink box which performs the same function as the Dock-N-Talk. As expected, the phone still occasionally locks up with The Xlink box same as the Dock-N-Talk.

Unlike other lock-up threads, the problem is NOT that the phone "locks" itself but rather that the phone Freezes/Locks-Up like a crashed Windows computer. The only difference is that instead of the ever popular "blue screen of death", I have the call in progress screen, frozen on the LCD.

Both HD2's are doing the same thing so I'm fairly convinced it's not just a defective phone unless it is an endemic issue to this design.

I'd appreciate any suggestions from anyone with experience with such a problem.

Thanks
[HD2 General] luckych:
what kind of radio do you have on your phone sir, and can you give your rom version as well. What you might want to try is going down to a rom base of 2.07 or something as well as radio, you might not like the performance but some radios are very incompatible with some bluetooth sets.

Also another idea is running Andriod and seeing if it occurs under that environment, this could tell you some ideas of what the cause is since both OS us the same radio file.

Luckych
[HD2 General] GulDucat:
Possible Resolution

I may have stumbled on a possible resolution to my problem.

Since I was not convinced it was a Radio/ROM issue, I re-flashed the HD2 with a fresh task 29 and 045 Artemis ROM. What I did NOT do this time is add any applications like memory cleaner, CHT, etc. which appear to work fine by themselves but I strongly suspect that all of them combined are a great toxic soup recipe.

As suspected, no crashes yet in the last 24 hours. Little by little I will be adding them one at a time to see which one is the offender but I strongly suspect it may be one that is related to a tweak that's gone rogue.

I will post results as I discover tem.

I have the XDA App for my Captivate and I'm trying to upload a picture. Every time I select a picture and click confirm, it tells me "ERROR: The file you have uploaded is not a valid image format."

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but this is all I could think of.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] 3n3rg3ia:
Have you confirm that your file meets the requirements to be able to upload? At least you are lucky having the upload active, cuz from my v845 I'm unable to upload anything anywhere.

Only the Captivate camera's lowest setting, 640x480, creates an image that fits this size.

That's probably the problem. I'm trying to upload a screenshot from my phone, which has a resolution of 480x800. Thanks!
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Experts Out There:

The curiosity in me wants to know:

We know we can recover from the sdcard folder (main memory). We also know that we can recover from sdcard2 (SD card external) with an appropriately edited "Command."

If I put a "Recovery Folder" edited to point at USBdisk in the "Command" file, and the related "Update.zip" file on a USB stick and plugged it into the full-size USB slot ---would it flash whatever after Power/Volume + restart?

Inquiring minds want to know in case there might be an option or advantage there?!?

Rev
[G Tablet General] rushless:
I think the answer is no.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I think I tried it before and it did not work. Easier method, and what I use is clockwork. I have a variety of different Roms on my tablet. I always make a backup before I play with new stuff. Takes about 2 minutes to restore any of them and I dont need a USB drive. You can rename them in the clockwork backup folder so they make sense too.

I'd like to be able to download YouTube video [mp4, highest-quality resolution available] and lectures [mp4, requires going through web-prompts] to my Windows Mobile 6.5 based HTC Touch Pro2.

Which free application(s) would you recommend for this?

Please inform me of one ASAP... as I need to study!

Thanks in advance,

I too have a HTC Touch Pro 2 with WinMo 6.5. I am constantly roaming because I moved to a state that has none of my service carriers towers. So naturally I am at the whem of which ever tower happens to be nearest to my home. I managed to download a 246 mb file the other night, without getting cutoff, but it did take all night. I simply can't expect anything better than a 10kb/s rate. So I'm on the hunt for a download manager.

[Nexus S General] Android Touch:
I've contacted the mod to have this forum changed to "Google" Nexus S from Samsung because like most of you I don't wanna see the name Samsung anywhere here even though I'll still be getting the phone cause it's Google branded.

We never called the Nexus One the HTC Nexus One so if we get enough votes here we'll get it changed. Vote please.
[Nexus S General] Hot_Hands:
Why not just Nexus S? The Nexus One forum is simply Nexus One.
[Nexus S General] Android Touch:
It's Google when you open it, this one is Samsung which is disgusting lol
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
Mods are going to laugh at you for such a stupid request.

Whether they changed it or not you're still going to be carrying around a phone that says Samsung on the back ;)

What they need to do it add a nexus s q&a
[Nexus S General] Android Touch:
So why didn't we call the Nexus HTC Nexus One?
[Nexus S General] ApplCobbler:
you big dumb baby, it's just a name. We could call it the Butt-Pounder Nexus S and it would still be the same thing
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
I vote to have the forum name changed to this.
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
ROFL :D

This response was awsome :p
[Nexus S General] isjr:
I also don't understand why they would name it Samsung Nexus S but then the Nexus One doesn't say HTC Nexus One. It should just be called the Nexus S and be placed under the Nexus One forum.
[Nexus S General] Mactagonist:
I think I will refer to my Nexus S as the "Butt-Pounder Nexus S" from now on! :eek:

Now that should be the forum name! :cool:
[Nexus S General] booyakasha:
They need to add a nexus s piss & moan
[Nexus S General] lcr44ramirez:
I agree
[Nexus S General] Android Touch:
Thanks for the responses guys :)
[Nexus S General] AndroidZ28:
I'd be more interested in changing the tree structure of xda...

Current:

Home > Samsung Nexus S > Nexus S General > Forum Name for "Google" Nexus S

Proposed:

Home > Samsung > Nexus S > Nexus S General > Forum Name for "Google" Nexus S

This would make it much easier to jump between similar devices. Galaxy S users tend to like to read the other carrier's threads as they sometimes have useful info.
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
Why not just ask for a Google forum then? Since Google is going to be making more Nexus devices in the future from the looks of it, it'll be easier to organize and have it all under one root. Otherwise, who the hell cares if it says Samsung on it or not. You're going to have a Samsung phone either way.
[Nexus S General] bob.zxr:
I agree. Voted.
[Nexus S General] nxt:
Google Nexus S please.
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
"Nexus S" and "Nexus One"

or

"Google Nexus S" and "Google Nexus One"

or

"Samsung Nexus S" and "HTC Nexus One"

It should be consistent with the Nexus One forum name.
[Nexus S General] ale0crysis:
Stop this **** thread, Samsung Nexus S will remain Samsung Nexus S

Samsung has the best hardware technology available, Google has the best software programming available.

Nobody can discuss this
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
You're right.

I say the hardware forums should be called "Samsung Nexus S" and "HTC Nexus One", while the software forums should be called "Google Nexus S" and "Google Nexus One".

[Captivate General] luv2rip:
Hi Guys,

I got this unlocked Samsung Captivate phone from CL. Works fine. But I was wondering, since the original nv_data.bin is no longer available, is there a way to know what is the unlock code ???

The guy from whom I purchased the phone does not respond to my emails.

Since there are cases that updating to higher Versions might ask for unlock code once again, I am just being well prepared for the worst.

Thanks

luv2rip
[Captivate General] jnelson74:
Yeah me too

Yeah me too!
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
As long as you stick to the ROM that was originated from Captivate ROMs, you should be fine. Most of those get screwed up and need re-apply unlock code are from flashing those European ROMs tweaked for Captivate.

Also, I read there is now a way to extract unlock code even in Froyo 2.2. I'm pretty sure Dev section has a thread about it.
[Legend General] Several Zombies:
So I just rooted my HTC Legend using the goldcard method and installed a 2.2 rom, since Virgin is refusing to update the phone themselves. Unfortunatly, I now have NO Data connection. Voice and Text work, but no 3G. After calling a rep, they gave me the APN info, but it still didn't help. They finally said they don't allow "unlocked" phones to use data on the network -- meaning after all the trouble of rooting the phone and upgrading to 2.2 because they WOULDN'T, my phone can't use data! Is there any way around this or any way to return to Virgin's stock rom?

Help!!
[Legend General] MikaelG:
Which APN are you using?
[Legend General] cyb3rninja:
i have done exactley the same thing with the gold card method and now i can't get a single bit of data but i haven't gotten as far as calling virgin mobile to ask them about it ..... and i have a friend who has the same phone on the same network not rooted if that helps any but i'm still new to the whole linux i've gone from 6.5 to this ^.^
[Legend General] Joleo:
I had the same problem recently. I am with Bell, but apparently virgin uses the same settings so try going

Menu>Settings>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names

then hit Menu and choose New APN. In here enter the settings:

APN: inet.bell.ca

Proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca

Port: 80

Username:

Password:

Server:

MMSC: h t t p:// mms. bell. ca/ mms/ wapenc (without the spaces)

MMS proxy: web.wireless.bell.ca

MMS port: 80

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC : 302

MNC : 610

APN type :

then hit menu again and save. When you back out, there should be a radio button beside your new apn to select, so do that. That should give you internet access, or if not try rebooting.

As for wifi, my problem was fixed by reinstalling my router. You can either do this, or go somewhere else and try wifi to see if it works.

Make sure all of your check marks are where they are supposed to be, too :)
[Legend General] Mr.Pigeon:
You could also use the pda.bell.ca APN with the same settings as mentioned above. The inet apn is officially used for tethering whereas pda is for mobile browsing (this according to bell). Doesn't really make a difference which one you pick, but I found pda to be slightly faster.

Hey guys, I had a Samsung Captivate before and the colors on it were amazing. I am assuming because all the roms over there used the Voodoo lagfix which included the color and sharpness fix. I wanted to apply just the Voodoo Color and Sharpness fix to my current AOSPish JK2 rom. I'd rather not have the lagfix because I read there might be bad battery drain.

So does anyone know how to apply just the Color and Sharpness fix?

Cause with computers, you buy one computer, and as long as it's specs are good enough, you can upgrade the OS from Win 2000->xp->vista->Win7

But for the G2, is this the same? Or do we rely on T-mobile to provide us with ROM material?

I'm just saying, will we be able to upgrade to Android 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and beyond?

How futureproof is the G2? I want to stick with this phone until it dies a "natural death", and not ditch it prematurely because support for it stopped.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] dynamikd:
To answer your questions, yes, we will be able to upgrade to Android 2.3 and 3.0. The best thing about this device is the dev support. Even if T-Mobile didn't push an official update, the devs will always produce custom roms. If you go off of the life of the G1, the G2 will be around for a decent amount of time.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Veiger:
If your on contract your normally upgrade to the next big thing every two years, but the G1 still has dev support and it is a few months over 2 years albiet that might die off soon with gingerbread...

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
G2 will have dev's working on it for a long long time yet, however there is a chance that any android higher than 3.0 will require better/different hardware, we just won't know until closer to its release, which is a long way off anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gbarayah:
I wouldn't concern myself about it. The developer support will always be there - and personally I'd much rather rely on good developer support than support from your service provider...

As far as hardware... No way in telling. With dual-core processors around the corner its hard to say what future Android OS's will require but being that 'TRUE' Android is simple and efficient, I would think that the G2 will be able to keep up. (Remember people are clocking this baby upwards of 1.8GHZ)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] androidcues:
I take it you did not have the G1?

If you had the G1 (htc dream) you would not have written such a post!

Have no fear... HAVE NO FEAR!!!!!

I can name countless reasons why....

#1 - Cyanogen uses the G2 more than the Nexus. He loves this phone. As long as he is around we will see much love for the htc Vision.

#2 - hell, #1 is enough.

Even without #1 or #2 you can trust you can keep your phone until it dies a natural death. The G1 is still chugging along just fine. Without Tmobile support.

Tmobile could kill the G2 off next month and it wouldnt make a damn difference! If Tmo told you to jump off a bridge.. :eek: please ask XDA before you do that!
