I send it to service... they replaced main board...

but canceled my warranty reason: unauthorized software intervention - root access

So... watch out for this. factory reset you tablet or mobile (if possible... in my case was not possible)

Thank you for your support.

I have the same

I have the same exact problem ,, anyone can help plz ??
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laertes007:
Hi:

I´ve just discovered this forum. Hello...

Just the same problem here and Samsung doesn´t repair my device. Can you give me any help?

Regards
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NehpetsDnabd:
This is exactly the same problem I've encountered. Moments AFTER rooting the thing.

Which leads me to believe any and all warranty question is well out of the window.

Has anyone encountered a solution as yet?

I appreciate the posts above are a few months old so I'm hoping some sort of resolution has been found!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedrs:
Same problem here too

Internal mem seems fine and you can delete things, but after reboot nothing is remembered.

Gave it to service (non samsung/carrier), They said that the p1000 is known for having bad internal memory problems.

They partitioned my 8GB external sd card and installed a Chinese MIUI rom 4.0.4 that is supposed to support installation and running from external SD mem.

The problem is they didn't remove the internal memory - so all old apps still exist there and can' t be removed (it probably mounts the internal mem and thinks it can write to it - but in practice nothing is written). So when i go to market and try to DL an app it says no memory left on device because it tries to put it on the internal mem and not the external.

Also, after reboot all the account setup wizard screen settings are forgotten and you need to redefine everything again.

I saw a thread on XDA that explains you need to remove the internal SD mem physically (and explains how to do it) but i am a little afraid to do it...

Anyone else try this ?

Also strange you need to change the whole MB for a faulty memory, why can't the internal mem just be replaced ?

There is a fast search in phonebook by alphabet.It's in english!

thats the problem,cuz i'm russian and all contacts r in russian.

Is there any possibility to change the language from english into russian in this fast search pannel???

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Travel_Mate:
Really it's not working! Funny, I thought this is the way, although I've never used it. I have only 3 contacts in cyrilic and they are at bottom of the list so it is not hard to find them.
[Captivate General] ademarne:
I have discovered a cheaper and less destructive way to unbrick the totally bricked captivate using only 3 resistors, THAT IS IT! No need to cut up your USB cord, JUST 3 resistors.

Below are the steps and pics:

YOUTUBE INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEO

1. Go to your local Radio Shack and purchase a pack of 100k ohm resistors, the colors should read Brown/Black/yellow/gold (see pic 1)

2. Take 2 of the resistors and twist them together

3. Take the third resistor and twist it onto the other 2 to make a straight line of 3 resistors

4. Bend the 3 resistors into a teardrop shape (see pic 2)

5. Set down a piece of tape and place the tips as close together as possible without touching while leaving about a quarter inch of each tip exposed, this will take some patience and adjusting (see pic 3) *tip: try putting a piece of tape or two in between the tips so that they do not touch each other*

6. Once the tips are set correctly tape both sides of the tear drop so no metal is left exposed. If your skin touches the metal it reduces the resistance of the jig and will not work.

7. Remove external sd, sim card and battery. Then replace battery and DO NOT touch the power button.

8. Carefully touch the two tips of the jig to the two copper plates of the micro usb slot closest to the headphone jack for about 3 seconds (this will also take some time and patience) *tip: use the other side of the micro usb port to brace against to hold the jig in place*

9. The phone should now go directly into download mode

9a. If your phone build number is BELOW 1010 continue following this guide.

9b. If your phone build number is 1010 or ABOVE follow this guide to flash back to stock.

10. Open odin3 on your computer

11. Plug usb into your phone, after odin says "added" click start to flash the stock rom.

12. Profit!

This fix as opposed to the others only costs $.99 and uses ONLY 3 resistors, NO CUTTING OR SOLDERING. Other fixes suggest hacking up your micro USB cable to use as a connection but i found that to be unnecessary.

As snapplefish has pointed out the desired resistance for this to work is 301K ohms, not 300K. HOWEVER, I and almost everyone else here has been able to only use the 3-100K ohm resistors. IF you are having trouble getting this to work, AND you have made sure you are using 100

K

ohm resistors, try measuring the resistance of your jig by using a multimeter. IF your resistance is below 298 or so try adding a 1

K

ohm resistor to your jig and remeasure the resistance of your jig.

Thanks to everyone who came up with the 301k ohm resistor method, saved me from a $500 paperwieght!

If this has helped you please give me a thanks :)

Cheers and happy flashing,

Alex
[Captivate General] z28james:
Dude, this is awesome. Thanks for pointing this out.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
When is the next "flashaholics anonymous meeting"? I'd like to attend too :-)
[Captivate General] ademarne:
No prob, glad it was useful
[Captivate General] Dungeon47:
Brilliant! Hopefully I never need to use it. This should go as/with/in a sticky.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
I hope I don't ever need to use a jig but this is a great alternative to other methods. You do need to have the USB plugged in prior to touching the resistors correct since that is not stated? Common sense says yes but I figured I would be the idiot to ask haha:D
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
Well he's actually fishing around inside the phone's MicroUSB port to touch pins 4&5. So no, in this case...you don't need to have a USB cable plugged in.

But with other JIGs including mine, you plug the JIG into the phone.
[Captivate General] cmsengineer:
Trying this tonight. Will update.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
I have never been able to have Odin work without it being open and having the USB plugged in when getting to download mode. How will this work if you get download mode prior to the USB being plugged in for Odin to recognize?

This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
I frequently use my JIG to get into Download mode to flash with Odin. For me, plug a JIG in to force Download Mode. Remove JIG, connect phone to a computer running Odin. The phone should be "added" in Odin and you should be able to flash away. I actually just did this last night as well.
[Captivate General] cmsengineer:
No luck so far. Will keep trying.
[Captivate General] avs420:
True story. This guy makes good JIGs. I was very impressed with it. Tested it a few times and threw it back in the Samsung box.

I phone--/triangle\--PC bricked my first Captivate. Odin 2.1 got stuck on "Setting PIT" and I was able to return it (had it a week and claimed it did it on an OTA update lol). I had the 3 button download disabled (probably a 1008-1010, I have a 1010 now) and couldn't get into download mode so I could've saved the first phone but no one was building JIGs yet

Anyhow, I don't *NEED* it, but I'm GLAD I have it. I'd probably not flash without one.
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
For this to work, you need to have ~300kohm of resistance across pins 4 and 5 for at least 4 seconds. You cant touch bare metal on the resistors, or you'll change the overall resistance.

Yes, this is a cheaper implementation of a JIG, but it's also a little harder to use compared to if you were to just cut up a MicroUSB plug.
[Captivate General] cmsengineer:
This isn't going to work for me. No metal has been touched, using exact resistors as described and touched pins 4+5 together. Oh well, new device should be here in 2 days.
[Captivate General] ademarne:
I just opened odin, used the jig to get the phone into download mode, then plugged the phone into the computer and it worked. Make sure odin is open first before you plug it in though.

You are correct, this is cheaper and I figured it would take me about a half an hour to cut up the usb and another 3 to 5 days to recieve another one through amazon so this was a quicker way and maybe a tad harder.

This took me a total of 5 mins on the ****ter to make and 15-20 mins of adjusting and trying until I was able to get it to work. This seems like the quickest overall and easiest way to make a download jig, but if you have more money then time just buy a pre-made jig.

Make sure each tip is only touching ONE pin. They should not touch together or it will short circuit and not work. In my jig there is a small maybe 1mm or less gap in between each tip.
[Captivate General] z28james:
After messing with the spacing I was able to consistently put my phone into download mode. I also put some tape between the prongs to ensure they didn't touch.
[Captivate General] ademarne:
Edited first post to clear up odin3 question
[Captivate General] ademarne:
Glad to hear it! :D

I also put some tape in between the two tips but wasn't sure if it did anything.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
I always do it just never would work when I wouldn't have the usb plugged in at the same time of download mode. But if it ever becomes the case I will surely give the jig a try. Thanks for the info.

Hello

Is there a way to take screenshot without installing any app?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shitfull:
I tried Android Screencast and works very well. It allow to view phone screen on pc and capture video.

If you want an image you could capture the screen of pc and cut the android window area.

Only debug usb on phone and adb on pc is required.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lmariachi:

You have to be ROOTed
[Nook Color General] leeh41:
What's a good app for reading PDF books? I'm just using Adobe reader right now and wanted to see if there are any better ones for the NC.

EDIT: Was just snooping around the other forums and noticed that the Aldiko that came with the Galaxy S has pinch to zoom. The versions on the market do not! When trying to install the one included on the Galaxy S, I receive "application can not be installed"

Any chance someone could port the Galaxy S version over to the NC? it would be a great epub/pdf reader app.
[Nook Color General] wumpus11:
You might try ezpdf reader from unidocs, which is in the market. See also their twitter page of features at http://twitter.com/#!/ezpdf
[Nook Color General] Mikroft:
Repligo appears to be the best for me. ezpdf feels unrefined and buggy. The interface looks really nice though.
[Nook Color General] Main Target:
Im using the built in app on the nook. Dnt open your pdf from Library because it forces you to use quickpdf. If you open the pdf from something like astro or root explorer,there's an app called Reader, and im loving it.
[Nook Color General] 2alex:
I prefer ezpdf and think it is good and worth the 99ct and I like the following with it:

+ remembers the last page read/bookmarking +

+ Zoom option - Fitting to text column

I agree that the user interface is not perfect yet and in some areas a bit buggy.

@Main Target

Thanks this reader through ASTRO/ROOT EXPLORER looks good
[Nook Color General] leeh41:
I tried that already, but it doesnt allow me to zoom. :(
[Nook Color General] johnnyb138:
Does anyone have an app that will allow me to highlight and annotate pdfs? I am considering returning the nc if I can't get this feature. I am rooted and willing to even pay a few dollars for an excellent PDF reader which will allow me to annotate and highlight.
[Nook Color General] leeh41:
I thought i saw on one the market when i was searching "PDF" or "PDF reader"

There should be an app for highlighting, but not sure about annotating.
[Nook Color General] saeba:
I tried out various PDF readers trying to find something workable to read some Marvel comics I have that came from GIT Corp DVDs. The Android readers worked ok, but it took 7-10 seconds to go from page to page accessing them from my SD card. I finally went to remoting in to my Windows desktop (using PocketCloud free) and using the Adobe Reader on the PC to read them. It ended up being much faster :-)!
[Nook Color General] Mikroft:
Weird. Repligo takes like 1-2seconds to flip the page. This is with 75-130mb pdf's
[Nook Color General] epakrat75:
I'm going to try clearing the defaults for the "Library" app (via Nook Color Tools / Settings) and see if launching a PDF after that presents a menu rather forcing "QuickPDF".

Perhaps the class of the SD card in use might be to blame for the perfomance lag while page turning?
[Nook Color General] saeba:
Maybe it's that these comics consist of 2-page color images. Maybe it's because I have the files on the SD card... the Duracell card I have tests out as Class 4. Anyway... none of the PDF readers (including RepliGo, Adobe Reader and ezPDF) I've tested gave reasonable performance paging through these files.
[Nook Color General] sark666:
ezpdf seems the fastest, but simple question, how do you bring up the overlay interface again once it disappears? I couldn't seem to bring it up all the time.
[Nook Color General] capnron65:
Thanks for the Reader tip

Wow, thanks for the tip. I liked the way Reader handles my huge company manuals.

I have root explorer and it took some looking to find my documents folder and I can't imagine doing that every time I need to reference my manuals. Is there a way to "assign" this Reader to open pdf files instead of Quickoffice?

Or would I be be better off with something like Dropbox.apk?

Ron
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Astro can create a shortcut on your launcher screen directly to any specific folder. This might work for you if you keep all your manuals in one place. The folder still gets opened in Astro, but at least you don't have to navigate around to find it every time.
[Nook Color General] oooohan:
The newest version of RepliGo Reader (3.0) has the ability to highlight and annotate PDFs. It works reasonably well.
[Nook Color General] the.tall.man:
I love ezpdf, blazing fast, frequently updated, cost a pittance.
[Nook Color General] nicbennett:
this one took me a bit to figure out, but I second this. It acts just like any book in the reader instead of having to re-size and down swipe to change pages.
[Nook Color General] Dizmatic:
Thanks, great tip. The PDF books and mags looks great.
[Nook Color General] Mikroft:
I hate how the new repligo reader doesn't retain zoom levels when you flip pages. Other than that its pretty good.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
Can you use ezpdf reader to navigate to a file? maybe i'm dumb but i can't figure out how to navigate to a pdf within the app. I have to use root explorer and tell it to open using ezpdf.

Also, I have some PDFs that open fine via the BN library with the default reader. But when I try to open them using ezpdf or Aldiko, it says i'm not allowed to open?
[Nook Color General] gallahad2000:
They probably have Adobe DRM (though Aldiko is supposed to support those).

Personally, I like vuDroid, free, fast(with my ~100mb textbooks with hires images), pinch to zoom and it saves your place.
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
Thanks for the suggestion. I just downloaded it and it opened up my pdfs just fine, except it is really slow to render the pages, so not smooth at all. Is it like that for you on vuDroid?
[Nook Color General] gallahad2000:
It's not instantaneous but it renders pretty quickly (<2 seconds to render a page of mixed images and text)
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
mine is more than 2 seconds, esp if there is an image (ie, cover image). it's really bad. and i'm OC'd to 1.1ghz.
[Nook Color General] gallahad2000:
Eh, I don't know, I'm on stock with the latest version of vuDroid.

I opened another textbook and it's taking ~10seconds, it may be different picture formats or compression levels.
[Nook Color General] peiziyu:
I've found that vuDroid renders very slowly for me too. Even on my OCR's math textbooks, some downloaded directly from Springer, it renders the page one ~1" square block at a time.

I originally downloaded vuDroid for the purpose of reading my djvu files, but I've found it to be so slow that I've converted them to PDF and re-OCR'd them with Acrobat so that I can read with Adobe Reader instead
[Nook Color General] drvenom123:
Adobe reader has been my favorite reader on the NC. The NC pdf reader is ok, but a bit slow. I purchased ezpdf and it was a waste of money; the program is really buggy and sluggish. I've rooted my nook and installed the 1.1ghz kernel and adobe reader has gotten really fast. It renders pdf's quick. I was going to return my NC because I was not satisfied with how it handles pdfs, but I have decided to keep it after installing the 1.1ghz kernel.
[Nook Color General] mitnits:
The built-in PDF reader is really excellent for reading fiction/books, not so great when you need to keep page layout.

Did anyone see some kind of android pdf reader that's capable of stripping the white border from every pdf page w/o the need to zoom/position the page?

Intuitively it looks like it should be fairly easy to discover the "bounding box" of the pdf document text and render only that text... Sigh...
[Nook Color General] mattcosta7:
Repligo is my reader of choice, but because it allows for underline, highlight, and note making. You can save your annotations, and they show up when opening on computer, or printing

Sent from nookcolor
[Nook Color General] tj!2k7:
That's a great question, I've also been trying to find a PDF reader capable of this, but no luck so far.
[Nook Color General] mattcosta7:
Check out repligo.

It is paid, but it has a couple view options. If you double tab, it centers on the text, and zooms so that the white border is gone.

If you press the eye button, it changes to a reflowed text version, that reads more like a kindle or nookbook, with page turns instead of sliding to a new page and zooming around it.

Plus annotations!
[Nook Color General] wpnyc2009:
Aldiko 2 is great!

Aldiko 2.0 is a huge leap forward from earlier version. I've tried many readers on NC and this one is currently my default for reading side loaded books. Built in is best for B&N books due to the features one can access with a B&N book: notes, highlights, etc.

Happy reading Boys!
[Nook Color General] Invisman:
I tried various PDF readers including the new Aldiko 2.0. So far Repligo seems the best for text reflow. ezPDF has the fancy page turn animation but it's reflow isn't as good as Repligo.
[Nook Color General] fntms:
I just found out a surprising feature of this built in reader: on the fly OCR!

I couldn't open a rather large (9mb) 258p well scanned pdf book (images only) with the usual readers I like (QuickOffice HD, Thinkpad), Acrobat Reader worked OK but was too slow, but then I tried Reader and what happens: OCR, meaning that the images get converted to text on the fly, at least with certain font sizes...

Line breaks are far from perfect but the book is more readable and page turns are real quick...
[Nook Color General] KenNashua:
The problem with Adobe Reader is I have some ebooks with wide margins... I want to be able to zoom text to the width of the screen removing the margins and then be able to tap left/right to page and keep that zoom setting from page to page.
[Nook Color General] {Diemex}:
lag in almost every pdf reader

I'm on nookie froyo,

and I havent found any pdf reader with that pdf reading is fun.

As long as i dont zoom in it seems okay, but as soon as I'm zoomed in and I try to scroll it takes for ever to load/render the rest of the page. Even if I flip a page it takes a while to load <1sec.

On cm7 and eclair I didnt have this problem.

I tried repligo,aldiko,ezpdf,pdftogo,quickoffice. Every single app is lagging a bit and it pisses me off so much that I dont want to contine reading anymore.

I usually read android development books, with medium amount of piictures and a lot of text.
[Nook Color General] esuuuu09:
I use RepliGo. Has reflow, night reading, and overall pretty well done. Just my 2 cents
[Nook Color General] phi303:
i'm just using Adobe reader, works fine most of the time - but sometimes it has rendering issues when switching from landscape to portrait and back
[Nook Color General] subcypher:
I use the full version of Documents To Go for PDF reading. But, if you're looking for PDFs of books, I use Calibre to convert them to EPUB and read those with Aldiko.
[Nook Color General] phi303:
anyone know of a PDF reader that will let you choose the spread layout?

Adobe Reader lets you continuously scroll but only vertically, i'm looking for something that lets you continuously scroll horizontally (with pinch-to-zoom) so that the magazines i have maintain the intended two-page-spreads
[Nook Color General] don_ernesto:
for programming books with code snippets (text reflow not good) i prefer ezpdf, because it can automatically zoom enough to eliminate blank margins

for books that allow reflow or with a lot of images (children's books) i prefer repligo, it is really fast loading pages
[Nook Color General] wgarrido:
On my Captivate I use the Nook app from the market. Also you can convert your pdf's to epub. I have seen only Adobe reader reflows text in pdf's. If you convert then any eReader can reflow. Try epub2go.com
[Nook Color General] Thirtybird:
I've installed pdfDroid - same author who did vuDroid, and supposedly pdfDroid is the old version, but it runs so much faster on my NC than vuDroid did. It remembers the last page viewed of each file, even if you've opened up a different pdf in the meantime (something the adobe program gets a major FAIL on!). I use both this and the Adobe program for PDF's
