[Nook Color General] bengt_a:
I'm not sure what this discussion about amber or green light is all about?

My NC has been acting quite weird ever since I got it, with occasional slow charging and sometimes losing charge although the charger is connected.

Right now the screen is showing "Battery too low to power on" as soon as I plug in the charger, and it has been charging for quite a while now... If I unplug it, the screen goes completely black. I have tried connecting my Nexus One with the same cable(s), and it starts charging immediately...

Since it has been completely depleted and rebooted, it can't really be any software on it causing trouble. So... what could it be?

Should there be some kind of indicator somewhere showing that it is charging? I never saw this, neither on the cable nor on the actual Nook.
[Nook Color General] Nooter:
I started seeing this issue as of last night: The NC was actually losing charge, even when plugged into the NC charger. It got to the point where it said the NC battery was depleted, and charge was too low to turn on. I plugged in my cell-phone charger, instead, and it got to about 50% overnight.

After reading this thread, I unplugged and plugged in the NC charger a couple of times in succession until Spare Parts -> Battery Information showed "AC", instead of "USB", and I'm back to rapid charging!

Thanks for your help in this thread, everyone.

Where can I get screen protectors and cases in Toronto?
[Focus Accessories] ITDRAGON:
It's called mail order.. :rolleyes:
[Focus Accessories] mesonto:
Mail order is not a good answer, by the time it crosses the border, even though our dollars are as of right now equal, the border cost and shipping make the accessories more than double the price. i.e. $15.00 screen protector came in at $32.50 from one place I tried.
[Focus Accessories] ITDRAGON:
isn't there sellers in Canada? They really don't have to declare it a purchase but a gift.

[Focus Accessories] mesonto:
Okay so I am trying these out. I have just ordered two of them... just in case I screw up with one of them. Hope they are my answer... if not my mistake will only cost me a few bucks. Thank you for the links! I will post again after I have placed one on.
[Focus Accessories] ITDRAGON:
The extreme guard is the one I tried out. Seem pretty good so far.
[Focus Accessories] BJWall:
Got on in TO

I just got my focus a couple of days ago at the Rogers Plus at Wellesley and Yonge. They have the Zagg Invisible Shield screen protectors for the focus. Just put it on tonight- I like it so far, but it will take a day or so to let all the little bubble go away. Before I got the phone I had gone out to Pacific Mall to see what they had and there was nothing! Even the Rogers stores out there had nothing.
[Focus Accessories] mesonto:
I was actually told by a very young asian woman at Pacific Mall that "...if I didn't mind my phone was a white peoples phone" and that "Pacific Mall probably wouldn't cater to me". I love Toronto... I really do. I actually paid for the ones in the links abouve from Extreme Guard but I haven't received them yet. They said 7-10 business days, I am hoping they will come tomorrow. I will report back when (if) they come.
[Focus Accessories] mesonto:
So I mail ordered the XtremeGuard and it finally got here yesterday. I have to say I only needed the 1 out of the 2 that I ordered. The screen protector was easy to put on, it looks fantastic, there are no bubbles and it did not cost me $15-$25 at a local store like Rogers. It looks fantastic, although the die cut is about 1mm too short. No biggie though, and I am now not afraid to throw it in my pack or let other people try it out. (My iPhone friends seem to be uber curious - but then again they are not the Sheeple type)

I can whole heartedly recommend this company... and they were extremely inexpensive!

Great, thank you for the link ITDRAGON!
[Focus Accessories] freedom31:
Just wondering but does anyone know of any places that sell invisible shields preferably in the steeles east region and not downtown? Really don't want to go searching store to store and order online
[Focus Accessories] jaethos:
What is the texture on the Xtremeguard? Is it rubbery or is it smooth and glossy?
[Focus Accessories] mesonto:
It is clear, not as glossy as the real screen and somewhat rubbery. At least that's what I make out of it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] howzit:
Sorry if there has been a thread like this that was posted already, had a look but couldn't find what I am looking for.

I would like to restore my Galaxy S (running now with Doc's 6.2 ROM) back to JPY and would like to remove my root as I keep having problems with freezing on several ROMs.

What is the best way of doing this so I could send it away for warranty repairs if need be? I was thinking about just updating my firmware using Kies to JPY, but surely it can't be that simple?

Thanks for the help!

The same minus whatever your carrier adds so its not what comes with the phone .

You could use an older rom from samfirmwares and flash that then upgrade via kies and the recovery method to save your rom . You will need to spoof your setings its all in the post.

[Focus General] Molal:
In the past month or so I have been experiencing stuttering in music being played back from my Samsung Focus. The first time I experienced this was on a plane ride. After playing for about 10 minutes the current track would begin to stutter and eventually stop altogether. If I left the device alone for about 10 seconds the music would begin to play sometimes; however, the device would hang causing me to have to reset the device (power cycle).

This also happens while sitting at my desk at work, while in the car (using the aux connection) and while in the gym.

I was wondering if this is a pervasive issue, or whether my experience is a one-off.

As background information, the music I am playing is synced music (not streaming tracks) and the stuttering never happens with podcasts.

Thanks and Happy New Year.
[Focus General] vedichymn:
Do you have a sd card installed?
[Focus General] MKohlman:
If you have an SD Card installed yes, I've seen this.

One thing that you might wish to try as I've been looking to see if others are seeing the same pattern is if you do have an SD Card installed; try playing back Music or Video with the Focus Plugged/Charging vs Unplugged/On Battery. My personal experience is that when using external power I don't have any issues but on battery the issues will increase as the battery drains down.
[Focus General] Anthonok:
No sd card here and this happens to me all the time. It's rather annoying. I don't remember where but im pretty sure that i read the Microsoft has been able to recreate this bug and plans to fix it.
[Focus General] Molal:
I don't have an SD card installed and never have.

I was considering a hard reset today to see if it solves the problem. I did note; however, if I play the music through the rear speaker (no headphones plugged in), then the stuttering does not happen.

Bizarre.

[Focus General] jeffgeno:
I just started experiencing this while using it on a plane. I have an SD card installed, but that doesn't seem to make a difference if the above posters are also having issues. I've found that turning the screen on gets the music playing again. You don't even have to unlock it, just turn it on and it goes. One time I had the full-on lockup and had to reset.

[Focus General] Molal:
Good Morning,

So, the problem continue to grow until the phone would barely get through a whole song before completely freezing up requiring a soft reset.

So, over the last few days I have completed a hard reset and have slowly added applications to see whether it was any particular app. Obviously, this is anecdotal evidence and cannot be considered absolute. Alternative issues could be memory management (fragmentation, etc.), or some other app:OS interaction.

After the hard reset I completed my account information so I could continue to use my mobile for business and added my entire music collection from zune - approxiamtely 1 GB. I played music for 2 hours with no stuttering, etc.

Second day - I added weather bug (love the app) and played music all day with no stuttering, etc.

Third day, added pdf reader, played music with no stuttering, etc.

Fourth day added shazam (no music playback issues) then added xbox extras (no music playback issues), added Crackdown 2....played the game.....had slight stuttering issues on every fourth or fifth piece of music played.

I've stopped at this point to see whether the issue becomes more common.

Hopefully this helps the community determine the cause, if any.

M
[Focus General] Aaron McCarthy:
I had this issue the other day when I was listening to the music through my headphones while at work.. it would randomly cut out every other song or so. I would push the pause/play button on the headset and it would start up again. After I turned the phone off and on again it stopped doing it and haven't had the problem since

Pls give more info about the usage of the program...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] muneebrocks:
what he means is that when the call is connected radiation is at its peak

so if u wait for it to connect and then put it near your ear you will save yourself from radiation

however i can not tell if the program itself works

he has only 1 post
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ai6908:
You can just watch for the call timer to kickin for GSM phones, then place the phone in your ear.

But that doesnt work for CDMA. So this might be an option.

I will try this and see....thanks.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] skylineap:
Great! This is really the app I looked for several days. Thank you for your post.

This app will give a short vibrate indicating that the your outgoing call is answered, so that you have not put the phone near your ear when calling.

you dont need this cab press phone > menu > options > scroll down and check vibrate vhen call is connected, but thanks on try

Hi!

This app is useful for me, I have an old Diamond and it works, but on start a popup window appears with a message that I cannot understand what it says, cause chars are messed up and it asks to press yes or no. I don't know what it says, so I press yes and it works.

If someone can tell me what this thing asks it would be nice and also, if I can make it stop asking, cause I would like to put it to autostart.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tobbbie:
This is a Chinese program so the letters do not show up correctly. You need to run this program only once as it does not run permanently. Instead it will (on first run) register to the Windows Mobile notification service:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Notifications\WStart.cnCallVibrate

adding several values below.

This will make the program run (and vibrate) when a connection is established.

A second call to the program will make it detect that settings are already in the registry and ask if you want to un-register it. If you answer "Yes", then the association is removed (hence no more vibration on connect), if you answer "No" then nothing changes.

Thanks for the answer tobbbie!

How long do you think it will take Samsung to make Official Nexus accessories like how the original Nexus One had official accessories, car dock, cradle, etc?
[Nexus S Accessories] KnightMAREcrow:
I wouldn't be surprised if we actually receive none. Most likely BestBuy will contract with some crappy OEM manufacturer to produce any.

Also, I bought my brother the Tmobile vibrant when it was first released and he has had trouble finding any official accessories made by Samsung.

I could be wrong and hope I am since I prefer official accessories over third party ones.
[Nexus S Accessories] jinvox:
You do have a point; I remember some German site showed an official Samsung Battery Pack n' Cover... never came through and it would of fitted the Vibrant too; I'm just hoping because this is a "Pure Google" phone and a developers phone; it will be shown some love

Hopefully they go the Nexus One route and hit us with a car dock at least, I have no need for the desktop dock but I'm sure some people would love one.

Haha I find this funny, OEM means Original Equipment Manufacturer, So you just said "original equipment manufacturer manufacturer. lol.

True I did... thanks for the correction haha
[Nexus S Accessories] CaliLove310:
basically calling the official accessories crapy lol
[Nexus S Accessories] KnightMAREcrow:
"OEM may also refer to a company that purchases, for use in its own products, a component made by a second company."

So the first guy that corrected me is right, but OEM can mean another company, not just Samsung in this instance...

Hello,

I just installed SetCPU and configured some profiles. I'd like to hear comments about them:

Screen Off 83/83

Charging 667/83

Battery < 15% 83/83

Battery < 30% 222/83

What do you think of setting 83/83? Too low?

How can I overclock?

I'd like to set a profile for temperature controlling, what is considered a high temp?

Thanks!
[Galaxy 3 General] Chanzilla:
I would like to know about this as well. How has those settings worked out for you so far?
[Galaxy 3 General] iomartin:
Using 83/83 was way too slow. When I had screen off and wanted to turn it back on, it would take too long.

I'm currently using these profiles (in order off priority):

Charging 667/83 (ondemand)

Screen off 222/83 (conservative)

Battery <30% 222/83 (conservative)

I haven't figured out how to overclock yet.
[Galaxy 3 General] s3th.g3ck9:
For overclocking we would nees a custom kernel that supports overclocking.
[Galaxy 3 General] iomartin:
Which I assume we don't?:(

Not yet. But now that the first view custom roms came up i believe we will find one coder that's building a custom kernel.

That's exciting! Are the custom roms you refer to the ones from samfirmware?

ondemand scaling is a bit laggy when switch speeds...

current setup gives me bout 45-52 hours of usage time.

SetCPU lagged my phone like crazy all the time it was on.

Launcher pro+SetCPU was a damn nightmare, apps took close to 9 secs to load. O_o
[Galaxy 3 General] iomartin:
Do you get lag after turning the screen on?

I used to have anipet Aquarium Live Wallpaper + ADW Launcher EX, and had huge lag when turning the screen on - with 222/83. I stopped using the Live Wallpaper, and it got better, but there's still lag sometimes. I don't know how heavy ADW Launcher EX is, if it is it's fault or not.

Using performance scaling, if I'm not mistaken (the documentation page of setcpu is down) forces the cpu to always run at the max frequency, so it'd be the same as setting the max and min frequency as the same value, right?

I'll give a try at using conservative instead of ondemand and see if I get less lag, though I'd expect exactly the opposite!
[Galaxy 3 General] Gsam101:
What's the point on downclocking the CPU while using the phone ? I mean, 333mhz makes me think i bought a chinese phone (And not a cool one like the ZTE Blade).
