[Nook Color General] gtechnical:
Just mandatorily installed the update over the air, and after that my rooted NC becomes brick, can not get to the home screen anymore, any solution? what did BN do on this update?
[Nook Color General] clockworx:
Do a factory reset, install the update, then use the new autonooter.
[Nook Color General] gtechnical:
how to do a factory reset? thanks, I am a newbie to this area!
[Nook Color General] rogerdugans:
Not sure how much I can help-

Just how "bricked" is it?

A truly bricked device will do nothing. It will not start or do anything whatsoever.

A machine that is thoroughly HOSED may get stuck in a boot loop, or try to start and fail every time you press the power button.

When I forced the update manually it took a few minutes to take and reboot; how long ago did it do the update?

Have you tried connecting with adb yet?

Have you tried booting it with a nooter or auto-nooter sd card yet?

Instructions for manually updating.
[Nook Color General] gtechnical:
Here is my situation:

Around 9:30, my NC started updated itself, it reboot in about 15 minutes, and takes a very long time get to the "nook color" screen, then took another 10 minutes letting me select "home or zeam", after that, it has no response.

I tried to reboot, it got up to the "Nook Color" welcome screen, no further response!

I tried to factory reset, not working through adb, it did appear on the adb devices command!
[Nook Color General] Novarider:
Do a factory reset and start over.
[Nook Color General] ColdSunNC:
I ran into a similar problem, but here is what happened to me:

1. I reset the device to factory settings.

2. I rebooted the nook 8 times, stopping the boot process. This took my NC back to factory version and no rooting at all.

3. Installed NC update 1.01 per B&N instructions.

4. Used AutoNooter (latest version for 1.01). AutoNooter rebooted the device as it is supposed to.

5. After AutoNooter reboot, I installed Astro File Manager and then after that the NC stopped responding to screen touch.

6. I held the power button to shut the device down. Strangely, the screen shut off and it appeared to be shut down, but I think it did not truly shut down.

7. I could not turn the NC back on. I tried to reset to factory settings 2-3 times and no response.

8. I plugged in my NC as if to charge, and it went through the boot process.

and it has worked just fine since then. To be honest it kind of scared me, because I love this thing to death, but I remained calm and kept at it and it was not bricked. I guess what I'm trying to say is that before you post here that the new update bricks the NC, you should be absolutely sure it is bricked and not just frozen like mine was. :)
[Nook Color General] clockcycle:
Brick, like you can't do anything at all anymore, might as well lay it on papers, use it as a door stop and pour cement to build a house?

That's what bricked means... If you still can access it via ADB, run recovery, etc.. it is far from "BRICKED"...

I just flashed the new Fresh EVO 3.5.0.0 after a full wipe and the market is broken. Just FCs or won't even come up. I tried wiping the date and clearing the cache of the market app with no luck.

Unfortunately Flipz's forums are down because he's going through a host change so no help there.

Anyone have a similar issue?

Anyone know how to fix it?

My flash went pretty smooth, I just flashed over the 3.4.0.1 version.

The only issue I had was my 4G connected and then disconnected immediately.

After cycling all my radios, it seems to have worked itself out pretty well.

So far so good on this side *knock wood*

I did try Google and searching this forum before posting this thread. any suggestions are greatly appreciated:):):)

Music and video player? AFAIK there are diferent apps for video and music.

Other than that, check if theres a setting you can change on the music/video player.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andersonjacob54:
Hey guys, I recently purchased a G2 and proceeded to root it (already had the OTA update). After rooting it, I put the Virtuous v0.8.0 ROM because I like the Sense interface (old Aria user). However, ever since installing this ROM, I am only able to get an 2G or Edge connection. If I select WCDMA only I can see HSPA/3G connection but with only 0-1 bars (and rarely 2 bars) making me think it's unreliable. Is there anything I can do or will I have to revert back to stock ROM?

Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdviper:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gravityrat:
I had a similar question in Q and A.

My problem was that I could not get a data connection unless I had an HSPA connection.

From my research ( I have both Enom and CM roms on my phone) this all has something to do with the radio.

Someone else in another thread was having 3g and 4g problems and mentioned the radio issue.

I went back to the stock root rom and I have everything back.

Have not tried installing the stock radio on Enom or the CM rom.

If anyone wants to try it I would love to hear if it works.

Looks like the ROM isn't installed well. Please revert back to stock, and install the ROM again. And hey, please download the ROM again. Sometimes even downloads can be bad, not just installs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Revert back to stock using the Odin 1-Click back to JH7 then attempt to re-flash.

But - I hear some complaints about DG's latest Cognition build so I would poke around there before deciding to re-flash to see if there are still any issues.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crystalhand:
Two sources for that fc that I have found:

1 and least likely is a bad flash. Go back to stock with odin and then reflash the rom. You will have to do this anyway so no big deal.

2 the only way i have encountered this bug is from resorting system data with titanium backup. Only restore user apps unless it its the same rom build as it will always cause nasty bugs and fcs

Just my two cents though
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimmehDean:
Reflash from stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rastanthology:

it only started saying force close after i restored all apps + data...

anyway thanks everyone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Yea... I've had that happen before - you should be able to safely re-install APPS ONLY - sometimes things get corrupted (especially for me Launcher Pro) when I tried doing a TiBu backup/restore.

[HD2 General] wendellc:
There was some talk about the buttons on the HD2 going bad due to much use on android ROM. Was wondering if Evo digitizer will fit/work on HD2? That would get rid of the possibility of buttons going bad.
[HD2 General] stim141:
To engineer that would be SIGNIFICANTLY harder than just buying the part for the buttons on the HD2 and installing it. Phone parts are not interchangable and if you've ever opened one up you would know the answer to your own question. The talk about button problems on the HD2 is over exaggerated. First you don't know what the people are doing that are starting those discussions - how hard are they with their phones, etc. The keys in most phones are pressure contact switches - they are designed to perform for years of normal use not used by a gorilla or someone who isn't exercisiing care.

I've owned HTC phones like the TYTN I for a number of years and used the hard keys - very similar contact switches - never a problem. The same for the 2125 which was a Windows phone with hard keys only. They were very small and I used the phone for two years every day. Keys did not wear out and they felt about the same as when I bought it.

Don't worry about it for at least two years of general use. Even when using Android you can get widgets that mimic soft keys (ie. the back/windows key).
[HD2 General] wendellc:
Stim, thanks for your thoughts. I purchased a HD2 with a broken digitizer and replaced it so was wondering if the digitizer on the EVO would work since they are the same size. I did get a chance yesterday to see a pic on the internet for the EVO digitizer and the ribbon on the EVO for the capacitive buttons and digitizer does not look compatible size wise on the HD2.

I've never had buttons go out on any of my phones before. With all the talk of the buttons going bad I thought maybe it was a quality issue with the HD2.
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
I might be completely stupid here, but what does the screen/digitizer have to do with hardware buttons?:confused:

I thought the digitizer is just the touch sensor of the screen, and that the hardware buttons have their own button pads/switches (whatever they're called).

Now, if you were talking about capacitive "hardware" buttons (such as the ones found on many Android devices, like the Nexus1), I can see how the digitizer would come into play.
[HD2 General] darkowler:
while on subject of digitizer of hd2, does anyone know how to replace it?

I recently dropped my phone on the ground and even though i had a scratch resistant film over it i broke the glass digitizer, phone digitizer work 100 fine but i would like to replace it, honestly i got lucky that i did not damage the lcd screen under the digitizer, i have priced replace ment part at about 60 with tools to fix it, i would just like advise to get repairs done
[HD2 General] stim141:
Actually you aren't so lucky. There are plenty of threads on this issue. Replacing the digitizer and lcd as separate components is nearly impossible without damaging the lcd. Hate to be the bearer of bad news. Separating the glass from the LCD is nearly impossible. They are glued together and air sealed. Some have tried and failed by either destroying the lcd or making the phone inoperable. HTC either heat seals the two together or uses a special adhesive. In either case unless you are working in a class clean room (no dust) getting specs, skin or hair more than likely and you will be really ticked off to find that crap in there when you go and turn the phone on. Mike Channon's website used to post official (semi) HTC maintenance guides but the HD2 hasn't been posted. There are however a couple of Russian links that go through the process. The HTC guides were much better and they listed the steps, torx settings, oven temps etc..

I've seen a few on eBay - new but there seems to be some that need to be soldered and others that don't.

My suggestion is buy a complete unit if you have to or sell it damaged on eBay and get another phone.
[HD2 General] darkowler:
i can also buy a lcd and digitizer together to eliminate the hassel of having to seperate them, and install componients like that, only downer is prices avererage 100-120 dollars, would that be a good option? i have seen videos on youtube on how to go about replacement, im quite knowledgeable about wire work and sodering but do u think im getting in over my head by tring to do this repair?
[HD2 General] darkowler:
i know buying a used hd2 is about 575 and it only goes up from there, i just dont have that kind of cash right now, plus my phone is unlocked, has hard spl, running nand android flashed directly to phone, with att service fully working, something very few owners have accomplished with there hd2's..
[HD2 General] DIGItonium:

Housing + Display + Digitizer + Battery Package

http://www.amazon.com/FACEPLATE-TOUCHSCREEN-DIGITIZER-REPLACEMENT-HTC/dp/B004FE1FLU

I notice the hardware buttons are not included. My phone is fine except the hardware buttons were scratched up after suffering a hard fall.
[HD2 General] stim141:
I don't know. I've done complete overhauls on TYTN I and TYTN II's. They didn't require heating to remove the panels - they just snapped in. Phones were very modular no work involved except screw removal. The latest phones seem to be held together with some sort of adhesive. I remember looking at how to disassemble a FUZE. Major pain to remove the screen from the keypad - required an oven to melt the glue.

Look for a complete quide that shows step by step disassembly AND assembly. Sometimes they forget the tricks to put it back together and you get messed up.

The 150 for the housing seems a little steep. But most of the LCD/DIGITIZERS are at least 100. Be careful about some of the parts they are stripped from a "working" phone - doubt it - why would someone take a perfectly good phone and break it apart for the parts? Doesn't make sense - they can get more money for the complete unit. Sounds like they were defects or seconds - screens may have dead pixels or spots. I'd look for factory fresh new stuff personally. You can buy the keypad/keys separately on eBay for next to nothing.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
The digitizer is the glass that you touch when operating the phone. The LCD panel is the part that shows the pictures. The digitizer covers the LCD and both are sealed together. The TYTN series of phones did not have this.

The OP was concerned about replacing the digitizer without harming the LCD. I know from experience that this is very hard to do. I managed to get them apart and replaced the digitizer on my HD2, only to damage a single line in the LCD when I re-assembled the phone. It was a complete waste of time and money.

Actually, the housings sold 3rd party are usually factory fresh, unless specified otherwise. HTC expects to have techs replace various parts of the phones and ordered a certain percentage of these types of parts. When the initial sell drive dies down, the excess is unloaded to 3rd parties who either offer them up on sites like eBay or catalog them for companies that repair phones.
[HD2 General] darkowler:
well like i was saying would it be easyer to buy both the digitizer and lcd already together and just replace the ones in my phone?:confused:

3 clicks = next track then pause (lol)
[Nexus S General] MaliciousGod:
Had a quick question I was hoping some Nexus S owners could help with, to do with the screen's pixel layout.

Pretty much every LCD display I've seen has its pixels lined up in neat horizontal and vertical rows (basically in a '+' configuration). Looking at the AMOLED screens on the HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S i9000, they both look like their screens have been rotated 45 degress, so that the pixels line up on an 'X'. This means that straight horizontal or vertical lines actually look jagged on an AMOLED phone (as opposed to diagonal lines looking jagged on normal LCDs).

Having seen the Nexus S in videos and photos, I think it may have a more normal, LCD-type '+' pixel grid. Can somebody take a look at their screen (or better yet, take some up-close photos of straight horizontal/vertical lines) and tell us what they see?
[Nexus S General] ikon8:
The only way you'll see anything jagged looking is if you're looking at your phone under a microscope.
[Nexus S General] Smokexz:
Agreed, and even then it's not like when you are looking at a G2 or MyTouch 4g screen you just cry yourself to sleep. I think they are still pretty good screens, but SAMOLED is like the switch from a tube TV to that nice Plasma, never gonna be the same.
[Nexus S General] dinan:
What the OP is noticing is the different pixel arrangement that samsung decided to use for these SAMOLED panels... which is RGBG instead of the traditional RGB on most LCDs. It's also responsible for the type of 'jagged' lines, which in effect is not really jagged, it's just that there's more space between red and blue subpixels than on a traditional RGB layout so you see more gaps for certain colors.
[Nexus S General] atlp99:
I notice the fuzzyness that the original poster is talking about when looking at the Samsung Vibrant. Text just was not as sharp on the SAMOLED screen on the vibrant (and other amoled screens) as on LCD screens on the G2 or Mytouch4g. This is due to the subpixel layout of the SAMOLED screen. Some people notice it more than others.

The Nexus S screen does seem to be sharper than the Vibrant, at least on the demo I played with.
[Nexus S General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
the OP is right. and the Nexus S screen is the same as Galaxy S in that matters. its not a +. more like X.

however, i find it really hard to notice it unless you get very close to the screen. you have a good eye man.
[Nexus S General] kertong:
Yup, the mesh/screen effect you notice over the pixels are from their different pixel arrangements, called pen-tile arrangement. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PenTile_matrix_family

The galaxy S phones, and the nexus [1S] use this pen tile arrangement. I think the only amoled display I've personally seen without the pen-time arrangement, is the nokia N8's, though I'm sure there are more..
