[Nook Color General] brie987:
Looking to find anyone with the same issues I am having. My NC is rooted using Auto-nooter for 101. Everything went smoothly no issues at all. A day later my NC has been possessed. When reading a book NC would start to skip pages sometimes as much and 5 pages in fast progression, I would then have to swipe back to my page. Then there are times when the quick nave bar of the NC would start flashing multiple times then click a random book from the home screen or from the daily shelf and open it, when I close it it would do it again this would happen about 3 or 4 times till the screen freezes for about 7 minutes. But its not over, then the NC would automatically go into settings then back to home screen then back to settings again really fast, then again freeze. The only way (and this does work) is to "light boot" it by holding down the power button for 5 seconds (the option to shut down will pop up) then let go then press the power button once quickly on then off. The home screen will come back and the "possession" will have stopped, for awhile. This is getting really annoying, especially the reader skipping multiple pages forward on its own as I do like reading with my NC. So has anyone else have this happening? Any ideas as to what this could be? Thanks for any help or ideas. I have read the forums but it seems I am the only "lucky" one to have this issue. Again thanks.
[Nook Color General] Phyllip J FRy:
yes, this happened to me. I went and bought a screen cover and cloth. Cleaned the screen VERY thoroughly and applied to cover. Has not happened since.
[Nook Color General] brie987:
Do you mean like an anti glare/non scratch screen protector? I have a great gadget cloth that I use all the time.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
No, you're by far not the only one, seems to be related to bad chargers, bad cables, or bad luck... I've had it happen one time while plugged in, but some people have said they couldn't use their NC at all while plugged in.

There are several threads here already on this subject...
[Nook Color General] _Dylan_:
I had some eratic stuff going on...buttons clicking, menus popping up, etc. Cleared up after i cleaned the screen really well and stopped breating so heavily (have a cold and coughing & breath was making the screen moist).
[Nook Color General] duloz:
something similar happened to me early on... My K key kept pressing itself, and random key strokes while trying to enter a password... here I think. :)

Is your screen dirty? I happened to be using mine with sweaty hands right then, lots of finger cheese on the screen was causing false contacts. cleaned it and was good to go.
[Nook Color General] Jsorvik:
I have had the "dirty screen" issues as well. But there was one time about a week ago when this was happening even after I cleaned the screen. I completely powered off and rebooted and all has been well since. . .
[Nook Color General] brie987:
Thanks for the replies I never thought that my greasy marks would make false positive clicks on my screen. come to think of it it does happen when I am reading for a bit before it starts and eating chips while reading just conjures up those spirits, thanks.

EDIT: Alright I am now convinced that this issue is technical. Its happening again now and my screen is clean and I just reboot it. NC was just sitting and charging I started it to read and it just started jumping to settings again and the Nav bar keeps flashing on and off. This time I just let it go and it went on for 5 min even after the screen turned off. I did the old "soft boot" (check first post) and it stoped. HHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMMM. I think I have a conflict with an app. I did the "save battery by changing the phone.apk and telephony.apk, has anyone also changed this and have this problem?
[Nook Color General] Sunrisemix:
I had the problem before I did the cell standby battery thing.

In another thread people were solving it by recalibrating the screen. I tried it and it worked for a while before they phantom presses started again, though I might have done it wrong to begin with.

*can't post the link but its in the nookdev wiki.
[Nook Color General] brie987:
Thank you so much for this, I did not even know of this site, happy I do now. To anyone that needs this the link is here. Again thanks.

[Nook Color General] notinterested:
Happened to me when i first got my NC while charging it. Has not happened since.
[Nook Color General] ictguy78:
I had it happen one time recently while the NC was charging. I was attempting to type a FB reply and the keyboard went all wacky. For every character I hit it entered 3-4 random characters. I switched to Gmail and it did the same thing. I unplugged the NC to plug into the computer to calibrate the screen and immediately after unplugging (before calibrating) it worked perfectly. No problems since.
[Nook Color General] Geniusdog254:
My God! I thought I was the only one this was happening to. It drives me CRAZY. It happens all the time.

I have hands that sweat almost nonstop, and I think they're what causes this for me. Funny thing is, I never noticed it till I rooted. Does AutoNooter install a custom kernel? That may explain it. Also, it mostly seems to happen when plugged in, which makes me think it may be an issue like on the Evo in it's early days where the screen isn't properly grounded. It was fixed by a sensitivity tweak in a software update, and that should be possible here, I'll look into it.

Someone said a screen protector helps, and I just ordered one to try it. They've helped on past devices, and may here too.
[Nook Color General] zdrifter:
While I have not personally had these problems on either of the NCs in the family it seems pretty conclusive that two things contribute to the problem ... a) 'dirty screen' .. getting a screen protector helps ... b) using while charging .. the #1 'quality' problem reported in the forums seems to be the port/plug on the NC and circumstantial evidence points to the cable .. I don't use the NC while it's charging so don't see the behavior and do use it connected to the PC rarely and do not use the B&N cable to connect so those with the problem may want to try another cable/charger. One of my cables works fine, the other is problematic.

No Menu > Settings > Wireless controls > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced for Vega-N?

I'm running Vega-N beta 5 and can't located the Menu > Settings > Wireless controls > Wi-Fi settings > Menu > Advanced menu. I need to enable Proxy for my work lan.

I tried something called TransparentProxy but it fails with some error about redirect.sh failed (FIX ME! implement..... something about iptables, insmod or perhaps a kernel upgrade).

Is there any way to get Proxy working?
[G Tablet General] P0RT3R:
I don't know if this helps, but you can create a shortcut using Anycut that lets you launch the proxy settings dialog (under 'Activity' > 'Proxy settings'). It lets you specify a hostname and port. I haven't had a reason to use it so I don't know if that is the dialog that you are looking for in the settings menu.
[G Tablet General] gksmith:
I finally used AnyCut and got a short cut. Unfortunately it doesn't appear to do anything. I don't think our Kernel supports Proxy yet.
[General Questions and Answers] joaquin_c:
Hi everyone!

This is the situation:

I got my unlocked HTC Desire HD from an authorized store but when I started it (at home) I've noticed that is branded from T-mobile Germany.

Since I use a Vodafone SIM, I decided to unbranded it. So I installed this stock ROM: RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26 .03.02.26_M_release_155891_signed. I followed the steps described in a thread on this forum, using Visionary and One click S-OFF tool. Everything was just fine. My device works without any problem except one: can't find OTA updates.

WHAT COULD IT BE? IS THERE SOMETHING I COULD MAKE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE?

Thank you in advance,

joaquin

[Nook Color General] thereddog:
The Nook Color is my first entry into Android, and coming from webOS where the homebrew community created an adblock patch that blocks ads in the browser and inside apps, is there something similar for Android?

Ads slow down any browser and are just annoying in the Google Reader app.

Can anything be done?
[Nook Color General] ThrowingKs:
It can be done in a variety of ways. Just search. Keep in mind, doing so can be considered piracy, as ads are blocked in apps that use the ads as revenue.
[Nook Color General] wvcachi:
I don't think its against rules to say what you want its 'adfree android' in the market. It's been featured on xda, and mentioned in a billion posts.
[Fascinate Accessories] gangstagaff:
Anyone have a good experience from a specific ebay seller for batteries? I've been wanting to get a spare but I'm so wary of ending up with a fake and/or defective battery that will damage my phone. That said, I really don't want to dish out $100 for one from my carrier either. Even if someone knows where I can pick up an OEM battery for a decent price (ie not $100) it would be greatly appreciated. I'm with Telus, so don't know if there are any good places for OEM's in Canada. Thanks in advance!

PS: not looking for an extended life battery, just a regular one.
[Fascinate Accessories] justin94:

[Fascinate Accessories] iofthestorm:
Is the Telus Fascinate's battery the exact same as the Verizon Fascinate's? I'm not sure if that's the case since they are fairly different for phones that have the same name. Just wanted to point that out since everyone is suggesting VZW stuff.

[Fascinate Accessories] comradesven:
By default the phone will ***** about an unsupported battery if you try to charge it. Even most modified kernels out there don't have the code that checks to make sure your battery is Verizon approved removed, and will refuse to charge batteries not specifically made for the Fascinate.

I am using a $6 battery made for the i9000 and just got it charging tonight, but it required a modded kernel and I'm afraid it'll blow up or something. Thanks Verizon :(

[EVO 4G General] teddyh2o:
Hello guys,

I recently purchased a game called Dungeon Defenders which is based on unreal3 engine. Sadly, it is kinda choppy on Evo.

I am running CM 6.1.2 with cm6-snap-v7.5-havs925 kernel.

Does anybody tried the DD on 2.3 ROM?

i am just wondering if the update will make the game less laggy.
[EVO 4G General] theundeadelvis:
I just played it for a bit on 2.3, and it seemed smoother. Now this could totally be my imagination, but before, when there were a number of baddies on the screen, I would get bad lag, but I didn't notice it on 2.3. There might still be some slight lag, but it seemed much better. If I get a chance to play for a more extended time, I'll report back.
[EVO 4G General] toprock23:
Do you have turbo mode on? Since u have the snap kernel, I'm curious to see if it makes a difference in that game.
[EVO 4G General] theundeadelvis:

[EVO 4G General] bigkmoney:
I would also love to know weather turbo has an affect on gaming.
[EVO 4G General] VenpaCasa:
noob question but what is turbo mode? and how can i get it
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
It shouldn't. Doesn't effect the GPU. So far there's nothing that can upclock the GPU. Probably the closest thing to improcing the GPU is implementing the new 2.3.3 Nexus One GPU drivers but I don't think that Google/HTC has released the source yet.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Its part of snap kernel. I wouldn't bother though - its just some modifications that mostly trick quadrant into benching higher. Actual real use performance will be the same.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 110jas110:
I have tried two different methods to unlock my vibrant. I downloaded the sgs unlock app on my phone, and tried the no root method, and the root menthod. Both of them didn't work. Then i tried the "generate unlock windows", and it gives me a "Permission denied error". :S. Someone asked me to check if i had the Nv_data.bin file in my phone, so i connected it to usb and searched for it in the folder the only result i got was, nv_data.bak. Im a total beginer to android someone please help me. Btw this is a used phone which i purchased from a local owner, he might have messed around with it. Also It's running, 2.1 eclair and it rooted.

-Also what in the world is adb shell, where do i get it and how do i use it?!!!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
I did the generate code unlock with a market app. Seems as if you aren't rooted though. Root your phone first to get superuser permission and then run the app unlock to generate the code. That is what I did and had no problems
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 110jas110:
Yeah im rooted. I tried the same app but it have me an error. Unlucky :(

I'm on the mailing list for a site -- CareAce.net -- that does articles mainly on Vibrants, and thought this one, on exchanging your phone, might be of interest to those with GPS problems. It says that phones manufactured from October on have a somewhat different hardware directly related to the GPS issue.

[Touch GSM General] avinasha:
Hi all

first post and i got an interesting problem with my phone which i qualify as stupid. It all started when when my virtually keyborad started becoming unresponsive and when i tried to do a factory reset, i could not enter the 1234 number to start it. i left the phone for a while and then i could not get into the setting even . But i could receive calls but i could not call since i could not access any numbers on the dial pad( by pressing on the numbers of coruse but from dial log screen i could)

Anyway long story short while fiddling with the phone , i thought the lock feature was on that is why some of the touch functions was not totally responsive but to my sadness, i activated the lock and now the phone is stuck on the front page and i cannot access anything since i must press unlock at the far corner of the down screen but stupidly, while pressing on the unlock, since it is unresponsive, i cannot unlock the phone to get to the normal menu and so on.The only thing working is the square pad which tells me to press cancel then unlock to free the phone for normal use

By the way the lock feature is the one that blocks the phone so that you do not accidentally press on the touch screen and activate a program and not the lock thing operators put to limit your phone

I want to know if anyone can help me unlock the screen so that i can reset the phone or alternatively any other method via usb to reset my phone to factory settings. Any special buttons on the phone i can do to do that?

I tired leaving battery out for 24 hours but that did not work to unfreeze the touch buttons

Was thinking to reload the windows mobile completely via the micro card (which i read here) but i am not sure it will work or i fear it might brick my phone

Any suggestions will be welcome please.... thanks
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Use myMobiler to control device from Pc through usb

Good luck

Ps: you'll probably have to change digitiser afterwards
[Touch GSM General] avinasha:
Well tried the mobiler but the thing is that it asks the phone to allow the program to conenct and i cannot press yes on the touch screen since it is frozen or something so i am stuck again.
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Very strange, it doesn't ask anything on my device...

Why don't you hard reset: press green and red buttons and while pressing, poke the stylus shortly in the reset hole then release the 2 buttons. It will ask something that you probably won't see, just press the action button and wait for it to restart.
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
Don't flash another on just yet - it may well cause issues as it sounds like your digitizer is broken. Don't hard reset either

Does it pick up anything at all? Have you tried tapping all over the place in that region to try and get a response, sometimes just under the screen also works. Do you use a screen protector? If not, try it with one, if yes, try it without, it may be interferring with it, or it may help the touch be picked up by the phone (Stupid, I know, but this is something I found to work before with my elfs, and omnias)

When it is locked, is activesync picking the phone up? You may be able to put the remote.exe into the windows folder (for myMobilier) and do it that way.

A digitizer costs about £6-£10. But due to the age of this device, as sad as it is, I would suggest trying a new phone out if funds allow for it.
[Touch GSM General] avinasha:
ok so far i tried the hard reset (red button and green and pressed the on off button but nothing. When i press on off button alone it switches off but not hard reset. I did not know i had a reset hole at the bottom of the phone.I did that with red and green button but nothing. Only when i poke the hole alone it does a hard reset i think but when i switches back on it is still unresponsive and locked screen

I tried poking under screen protector nothing. Also i think screen is still responsive because when i tap on it, the screen lights brighter

I tired putting remote exe file on the phone( active sync is working and i can read files on the phone) but i have two remote files..which one to use ? the one that ends with 40 one or 50 .Also where to put it specifically..which folder.I tried my windows mobile based device but nothing.Also tried program files and data application nothing.

Mobiler cannot connect since from pc alone because it asks my phone permission

and i cannot tap yes to accept program.

so any more suggestions please
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Hi

Maybe I wasn't clear enough, here's the exact procedure, it should work since you have to use only hardware buttons:

Hold down send/reject buttons (green/red at the front) and reset with the stylus; release the stylus but keep holding the buttons till you get 'this will erase all your personal data' message, then press 'action' (big front button) to hard reset.

If Hard reset doesn't work then your device hardware is faulty.
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
If he hard resets he will liekly not be able to align the screen on initial setup tito12.

Avanisha. If you try to run one of the remote.exe it will say this is not a valid windows application, thats the one that needs to go into windows on your phone.
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Hi captainstu72, i was under the impression that he messed up something in his system so a hard reset would hopefully solve the problem. In case he still can't align the screen after HR then he has to replace the digitiser. Mymobiler will not solve anything, pls read the 1st post: he wanted to do a factory reset. He just have to sync before HR.
[Touch GSM General] avinasha:
thks tito 12..problem was solved with your help.J ust did not get the steps of hard reset right. Phone is working ok now and screen is ok as well as tap function. thank god i don't need a digitizer. thanks to captainstu72 for the help as well .You were right tito..seems i ran a program and then all hell broke on my phone. I wanted to factory reset but as you know the pad was locked.
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Glad I could help, enjoy your device :D
[Touch GSM General] captainstu72:
Ahh okay, guess i mis read something! Sorry :P

Glad its all sorted though, I was just concerned he may end up in an annoying align screen loop :(
