[Nook Color General] djurkash:
Hello folks,

I know this are maybe simple questions, but for me very important, since I am not from USA...

Anyway I am from Europe and am planing to purchase nook color. Since I will be not able to check the device myself, what are details that this person should pay attention to (this will be non tech person)?

i've been hearing about problems with nook like screen death piscels, sound problems, jack problems, so I would sum it:

1. Check for death piscels...

2. Check with some tune is sound ok...

3. Check whether is device charging when connected...

Is there anything to add, some detail or so?

4. Also, should this person buy it personaly in nook store, as a safer way, and check there?

I know this sounds like a noob questions, but I really like the device, and it hidden characterictics, which I would instantly acquire...

Thanks...
[Nook Color General] spikey911:
Just my opinion

Dead/Stuck pixels are probably the most common problem.

Have them check with a fully black screen and also a fully white screen.

I think the sound issue was probably in the first batch of units, so I don't think you will have a problem with that.

I would suggest buying from either Walmart or Best Buy, they seem to have better return policies, however since the person will probably test it and immediately ship it to you, it won't really matter.
[Nook Color General] djurkash:
Thanks for the reply.

This person will test it and bring it with her to me...

Hope everything will turn up ok, cause nook color has it all I've been looking for, 7inch excellent IPS screen, 720p able processor, 512MB RAM, and good battery life...above all android all over it with a acceptable price tag...

hello

i want ask something

my phone had spl - ipl 2.20 (i think)

i used this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=372152 uspl and then hspl 3.10 for unlock my device and i flash it with cooked rom

the problem is that now i want to flash it to original rom 2.20.405.1b but i can't (error in 1%)

can you tell me the solution please
[Touch GSM General] tito12:
Hi

Basically shipped (original) rom has it's own spl, and HardSpl prevents overwriting spl by any rom,that's why you can't install a shipped rom. Read this thread to find how to remove it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=445666.

In settings>Cyanogenmod settings>user interface there are plenty of options for notification bars, colors, etc. Also, if you look in the development section for Cyanoginger 1.1, should be near the top, that flashes a gingerbread theme, plus the new market, keyboard, and a couple of other things if I remember correctly.

Cotulla " Stock Desire " vs Projection " Clean Desire " .... which is preferred ?

Hi all !

Between Cotulla's " Stock Desire " ROM and Projection's " Clean Desire " ROM [ and noting that Projections ROM is based on Cotulla's ] I was wondering what the general consensus was ... ?

Assuming equal useage patterns

- which is fastest ?

- which has the best battery life ?

- which has the fewest issues ?

- which is closest to a genuine stock Desire ?

- do either have any show-stopper issues ?

- any compelling reason to use one over the other ?

thx,

Ben

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ben ifin:
Hi

Yeah - have qucikly tried both - hard to really tell the difference - thats whay was/am looking for other peoples opinions.

One specific question thought:-

- the HD2 Battery specs when running WinMo 6.5 are-

Talk time:

WCDMA: Up to 320 mins

GSM: Up to 380 mins

Standby time:

WCDMA: Up to 390 hours

GSM: Up to 490 hours

Video playback Up to 8 hours

Audio playback: Up to 12 hours

What I dont fully understand is, by flashing to the " Stock " or " Clean " ROM's, will the battery useage-specs improve, get worse or be approx. the same as when running WinMo 6.5 ?

Thx,

Ben
[Galaxy S I9000 General] justin911:
Hi Everyone

After doing some testing from my other thread about the sleep mode ive relise the vibration in my phone doesnt work at all. For msgs or txts.

I have set the intensity level up to the highest and wnt into diag mode *#0*#

but wont vibrate at all.

Anyways have any idea how to fix it ? It used to work with 2.1 (only got the phone a few days ago) and used kies to update to 2.2

thanks again everyone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tycc:
Had the same problem. You need to turn up the vibration intensity, even if you don't use haptic feedback.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] JJEgan:
Back up your data and try a factory reset .

[Galaxy S I9000 General] justin911:
Thanks for that guys :)

Tried both suggestions both nothing seemed to fix.

Rebooted the phone a few times and seems to be working now for some reason..

Rebooted a few more times and still woking so am happy.

Just need to work out how to get sms software to tell me how many characters im using (and i'll be happy).

Few other minor bugs like sometimes a random screen will pop up, and the touch screen seems verrry sensitive. like when im sms'ing if my finger is a few mm away from the key it will be pressed, but probs just me. All in all seems like a nice phone :)

thanks again for the assistance.

[Streak 5 General] SJackal:
I just got a Dell Streak with the latest stock version (Android 2.2), and cannot connect to my Wifi at home. On my router I've configured WPA2 encryption + Hidden SSID.

I don't have any problem connecting my (Windows) laptops, my smartphones; HTC Diamond (WM6.1), HTC Touch HD (WM6.5), Nokia N97 and Blackberry.

Just both my Android phones, (HTC Wildfire and Dell Streak with both Android 2.2), keep failing with the message, 'Not in range, remembered'. If I set my SSID to broadcast, it works.

Since I do want to use the option to hide my SSID, and this seems to be a (only) Android 2.2 issue, I hope that one of you has a solution for this issue.

Does anyone had this issue and found a solution for this?
[Streak 5 General] marvin02:
The WiFi standard calls for the SSID to be broadcast even though there are many devices computers, etc. that work with it off. Here are some discussions on the point:

Automatically Connecting to Hidden SSID WiFi Network

Your SSID Isn’t Hidden Forever

Wi-fi Mythbuster: Do NOT hide your SSID

Non-Broadcast Wireless SSIDs Why hidden wireless networks are a bad idea

Myth vs. reality: Wireless SSIDs

A quote from the last link:
[Streak 5 General] Philip:
You don't really gain much security benefit from hiding your SSID. It might prevent the script kiddies from finding your network, but it won't stop anybody who knows what they are doing.

WPA2 is pretty well unbreakable, so that should be more than sufficient to protect your network in any real-world Personal or Commercial scenario. If you are running a Military or National Security network, then you may want to implement further security controls - and you obviously wouldn't be asking about it on this forum :-)
[Streak 5 General] SJackal:
I did not have this issue before with any device, so I'm just curious why this was only happening with my Android phones. For me it's absolutely no problemen to unhide the SSID.

But thanks Marvin02 and Philip for your very usefull feedback. I did not know most information you posted. I will enable the SSID broadcasting.

Thanks!

I recently monitor my battery drain on MDJ Revolution HD 2.2 and want to check with you guys if they seems ok to you?

When phone has no applications running in background, freshly after boot it uses 3-5mA with peaks from time to time up to 150mA, this means that it consumes around 1% of battery per hour.

When phone has few applications running in background (more real scenario) it uses 5-7mA with peaks up to 250mA, this means it starts to consume around 2% of battery per hour.

I have never measured those values under WM but I can recall that phone used 5% over night (7hrs), it is less then NAND build I’m currently using.

Is this normal for Android to consume more power then WM?

Will battery format and delete of batterstat.bin help? If yes, can some help me with finding it? I am using Astro File Manager but if I go to folder /data/ it says it is empty, do I need to delete the file using terminal?

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] katalog:
I can agree with your findings: my drainage also seems to be like yours. But there's one strange thing I can't follow. After receiving a call or calling, my drainage increases from 3-5mA up to ~60mA in standby?! Does anyone know a solution therefor? I've already compared the processes running before and after calling and couldn't find any irregularities...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] grabson79:
do you mean it rises to 60mA and stays at this level all the time?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] katalog:
right. after calling battery drainage rises from 3-5 mA to 60-70mA and stays at this level.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fyase:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] grabson79:
I was on MDJ Revolution HD and haven’t got any issues with battery drain after calls.

Now moved to MDJ Super Light 1.0 which has lower battery drain then HD, around 3mA in standby almost all the time, regardless any applications running in background.

That is not bad but still higher than WM roms :eek:

No, it is not. Try MarkinuX CM 6.1.. gives me that f****n drain too :mad:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vensterbank:
Oke, ill take it back , most new build have fixed the problem. Try the Rom I'm using, it has this problem fixed. And the Rom is 90% stock desire. I highly recommend it. Also, maybe you don't have the correct radio? But then again I'm not a pro just a guy who likes to read forums :3
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] siggehandf:
With Clean Desire v.0.3.1 I have horrible battery life. It's like stuck at the 60mA, think it's that call bug or something similar. If you study usage history, cell standy is consuming like 33% of the battery, and phone inactive 32%, the display is at 2% o.O

There is something rotten in the kernel. Turning of GPS, Wifi hell, what ever, does nothing to improve it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vensterbank:
That is why I stuck to the v0,2 most stable for me 3-5 ma with data on. And no problems as far worth noticing. Do make sure you have the best radio, I have 2.15.50, and seems to be best for all nands I've tried.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hd2k10:
Can you confirm that there's no notification bug on v0.2? I switched from DFT because PRJ supposedly had it fixed but I'm using v0.3.1 and I still have the same thing, if a notification remains Unread it drains 60mA until it's Read --- is this not the case for v0.2?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vensterbank:
i only know that the spike of 60ma after calls had been fixed. i didnt noticed the unread notification spike (cauze I have my phone on me 24/7) so i will read the notification within 3mins orso. so i have no issue with that.

but the battery drain is really good it this build. for me personal, no errors at all. only the unlockscreen sometimes freezes but then u wait 3 secs and its good again. but every hd2 is slightly different from eachother so you might have an other experience.

:3 but ill still recommend the prj clean rom
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hd2k10:
It's a great rom, it's DFT without the bloatware and I think purely Stock Roms are the best, unfortunately...I get the 60mA bug and it drives me crazy lol. I'm a extremely heavy user and the extended battery drain makes my days that much shorter =P

The value for the key is held in the registry under the key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\WZCSVC\Parameters\Interfaces]

Under here there is an entry for each access point. The name of the Access point and the key is in the Static#nnnn value. The key is encrypted, but you could probably read the values of all keys, store them and try recreating the keys and values later.

Use a RegistryKey object to read and restore the data.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nixeus:
Hello my friends,

Thanks for your answer, nevertheless, i'm unable to doing this ! I see no WepKey :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] stephj:
I'll say it again, the data for the Static#nnnn key holds both the name of the access point, and the WEP/WPA key. The name of the access point appears as plain text, easy enough to spot, but the WEP/WPA key follows it. It has been encrypted/mangled so that any old nosey so-and-so can't use it if they are not supposed to.

You can save and restore the encrypted version of the key, but you cannot see its real value.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] stephj:
It would appear that WinMo devices are not too keen on restoring encrypted keys, and may wipe them on the restore.

You may have to set another registry key value to get it to work.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Init\BootVars] "MasterKeysInRegistry"=dword:1

Have a look at some of the chatter in the middle of this post:

I also wanted to write myself a very simple "settings exporter". Most of the system settings are stored directly in the registry. But I also couldn't find any way to retrieve WiFi settings and e-mail accounts automatically... :(
