Update 1.5? Me thinks you own a NK ("Nook Klassic" for lack of better name)

The only Nook with a v. 1.5 is Nook Klassic. As far as NC is concerned, I have also received several "update" notices for NC - the green "N" at the bottom left - even though I've already updated manually to 1.0.1 so I could AutoNooter 2.12.25. Ignore these messages. You're already up to date.

Later!
[Nook Color General] cutterjohn:
I'm like gedster314, I left NC #2 on w/WiFi overnight w/charging and had WiFi on for 2-3d IIRC while using it and NEVER got an OTA update notice, so I also ended up manually upgrading it to 1.01.

I haven't noticed any update notices on mine, but I mostly have WiFi off to help extend batt runtime since the batt life isn't so hot... (or maybe I've just been spoiled by my gTab batt runtime w/WiFi running nearly constantly...)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus9988:
So I just got the Mytouch 4G (rooted & left Stock) was a previous nexus one owner so I know all about the dev side of things but this is my first phone that allows web/video chat capabililties. Im a bit curious on what everyones thoughts and maybe some suggestions to utilize this feature. As of now im am unware of how Qik rele works and if there are any other major vchat apps out there worth looking into possibly even for the future. None of my friends rele have a vchat phone yet so im wondering how i can utilize that feature.

Thanks for the tips & suggestions!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lalab0y:
i'm a big fan of the vid chat myself..i use yahoo messenger vid chat to chat with my gf who is on pc..

i think qik works best for mobile to mobile chat..both party needs to have the ap and a phone which supports vid chat..

be aware some roms do not support the front facing camera (yet). I am using iced glacier and have no problems..

Is facetime for iphone an iphone exclusive app or can we get that app to vid chat with iphone peoples?

Hey my fellow former N1 owner. I like to use tango it is free and works well.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thephoneguyusa:
Don't know about a face time app but my wife has a iphone 4 and tango works for us.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus9988:
I'll look into tango =D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagLau:
FWIW, Skype bought Qik last week. Look for the Qik app to either take off with more features or be rolled into the Skype app.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lalab0y:
Pretty sure facetime is iphone exclusive..but tango is the way to go if u are doing vid chat with iphone
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
i typically use Tango, but i'm looking into ooVoo. It seems to be the quickest but for some reason my wife'e phone doesn't like it very much. She is using HTC MySense, and i am using AOSP.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
Well, evidence of video chat was found in latest Gtalk app (misc references, icons, etc) so I'm hoping we will see VC capabilites officially supported by Google in the near future.

Skype rolled out VC for iPhone recently, I can't imagine it would take them long to introduce a similar future to Android.

Those are the two apps I'm looking forward to as they seem to be pretty universal across all of the platform, any other ones are just a niche apps to be honest (except for yahoo, but it's not for me)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexus9988:
Yayy i hope they get a good skype app with vchat i knw most of my friends have that or oovoo lol

The beta yahoo video chat is pretty awesome too. It has video and voice chat. Audio for both has a hollow digital tone to it but works well enough. The video comes through pretty clear.

Use case: mytouch 4g to nexus one. Voice chat works. Video chat works but video capture is done from the nexus' rear camera. I have to flip the phone around. Haha

Microsoft's page doesn't mention Flash coming in soon to be released update. But I have seen some articles stating it is. Was wondering if anyone has intel on the status of Flash for WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbebop7:
I'm quite sure MS would have mentioned it on the webpage or during CES if it was true.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canadariot2312:
Coming in the mango update when it preforms well on the browser.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cruzer1:
I remember reading somewhere before WP7 launched, was that flash would be out within 6 months of WP7 launch. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't come out until 12 months from the launch. I think it will be kind of like an addon (i.e. Microsofts Youtube client) Eitherway, I hope it comes soon :D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
http://windowsphonesecrets.com/2011/01/04/whats-happening-with-windows-phone-updates-in-2011/

that's probably the closest details we'll get, but it's not directly from microsoft.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
I don't get why after all these years, people are still waiting for Flash to be properly implemented on smartphones. I would think with all the demand for it, it would have been accomplished by now. As far as I know, all of the mobile implementations thus far are only substandard implementations.

I think with the Apple refusal to use Flash, this will be the first nail in the coffin of a fully implemented mobile Flash.

Maybe MS will do better with Silverlight?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cruzer1:
I agree with you 100% and have always been unimpressed on how flash has been implemented on mobile. But, I've been thinking that flash 'might' be better implemented on WP due to its closed nature. ie. Adobe can fully utilise the snapdragon processor (correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the QSD processor designed to take on flash anyway?).

I believe the reason Adobe is taking so long is because they're trying to utilise the WP7 SoC to its fullest. Why is flash on Android already you ask? well, my guess is Adobe did a half a** job and couldn't be bothered due to the cost and time it would take, to utilise flash on all the different SoC's that run Android. Unless of course, Adobe is just being lazy and taking their time, or they've cancelled plans already :(

Just my 2c worth :D
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Gate Keeper:
please read my last post in terms of timing... as it states, we will most likely see it in the mango update for august/september.

as for adobe and windows phone implementation, it is believed that the reason MS didn't rush to put out adobe, even though it is believed it's capible is because MS wants to implement it in a way that does not compromise security, and does not compromise performance.

this is why they're going to do it as part of mango, in that they will most likely have the redone engine based on IE9 to support HTML5 as well. do this all at once is a really good idea and most likely the easiest way to cover all aspects of the browser.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cruzer1:
Here's hoping then that by the time it's released, flash on WP really takes advantage of the hardware in full and doesn't look look it does on Android... or maybe thats just wishful thinking.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N8ter:
Flash works fine on this vibrant...

If not for apple it would surely work on ios. And ire works fine on bb tablet os...
[Galaxy Tab General] Segnale007:
Hello folks, I have noticed the wallpaper on my Galaxy Tab when in landscape doesn't fit proper the display with any launchers other than Samsung Home, no matter the size and the resolution of the picture are. Here are two screenshots that show you what I am talking about. In the second picture you'll notice I am using Go Launcher EX, but I really get the same result with any other launcher out there on the market. I been crazy googling for days with no lack yet.

I hope someone will help me to sort this out ..

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] Segnale007:
any idea??? :(
[Galaxy Tab General] Segnale007:
I think neither of the launchers on the market are optimized for the Gtab as while googling I came across other people having the same issue on their Gtab, so ... I hope someone will come with the fix...
[Epic 4G General] sacwoo:
***Edit This was a custom rom that must have been installed on the phone, sorry for the title***

I had an Epic that was purchased back in August that I traded for an EVO in December. After a month with the EVO, I couldn't take the on screen keyboard anymore so I traded my EVO for an Epic that was a week old.

It hasn't been rooted or messed with and when I looked at the system info it said it was running 2.2.1 Froyo DK28

Did Samsung start shipping new phones with 2.2.1??

I know 2.2.1 isn't official yet but I have been out of the Epic loop for a month so I wanted to see if this was a fluke or what.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
Either you think you're being funny or you've got someone else's flashed phone. It's running DK28, which isn't a release build.
[Epic 4G General] globalninja:
That isn't the official froyo build. It looks like that's a phone that was exchanged for a di18 phone back in december. Or maybe its a refurb that wasn't flashed back to di18.
[Epic 4G General] sacwoo:
Honestly I don't think I am being funny, It was a valid question since the phone isn't rooted I wasn't sure.

Is the leaked DK28 flashable without rooting through Odin? If so that would make sense, I just wasn't sure and that's why I asked.
[Epic 4G General] cozmonot:
yea, there is a odin flashable dk28 without root. looks like thats what happened here.
[Epic 4G General] Electrofreak:
Sorry, but we've had more than our fair share of Froyo pranks on here and I'm sure you've heard the story about the boy who cried wolf.

In any case, the unmodded DK28 is unrooted, so it's quite possible for this to happen. If Sprint gave you this phone, they're not doing a very good job of resetting it back to factory defaults.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RnkG:
Hey all I was given an Eris by a friend so I rooted it easy enough at 1.5 last August. Since then I have had a few different custom roms loaded and everyone of them that I tried to activate the phone on didn't work. This phone was not activated when I rooted it, and I have to take it to my local verizon shop to have them try to activate it after they deactivate my moto droid 1. I' ve been digging for awhile now trying to figure out if it's the baseband version or what. Can someone please help if at all possible.

Current phone info:

Firmware: 2.1

Baseband: 2.42.01.04.27

Kernel: 2.6.29,

Build: 2.36.605.1 case release-keys

Software 2.36.605.1

Browser WebKit 3.1

PRI: 2.11_002

PRL: 58003

ERI: 5

When the phone boots it shows the verizon logo which doesn't completely mean the radio is flashed for versions network, but I have no idea how to tell otherwise.

Thanks.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If you activate the phone with a stock, or near-stock ROM (let's say Ivanmmj's "Official 1.0"), then thereafter, nothing you do to the phone with dev ROMs from this site will change the phone's activation data (stored in the phone) afterward - not flashing a different radio, nor performing a "wipe/factory reset" (in Amon_RA), nor installing a different ROM will change that.

When it comes to deactivating the phone - or more precisely, clearing the activation state of the phone, the only thing that seems to accomplish that is one of the factory recoveries - Amon_RA does not touch it. This happens if you perform a "factory reset" in the regular OS, which actually causes a boot to the recovery, which does all the "dirty work". You can also manually boot the stock recovery, and use the wipe menu to achieve the same result.

You can see that this makes de-activation inconvenient for rooters - but most of them don't need to do that.

So I'm reluctant to conclude that the radio firmware is affecting your result.

What happens when you try dialing *228 option 1? The call goes through, but you get an error voice announcement after some delay?

I was under the impression that people that flip back and forth between two phones on the same service don't ever bother to de-activate the phone in use: they just make sure that current phone is turned off before they attempt to activate the next phone.

I suppose you could restore the phone back to complete stock (including the stock recovery) before activating it, and then re-root it and reload a nandroid backup... but that's sort of a pain in the neck if this is something you plan on doing regularly.

bftb0

PS I could swear I have activated my phone (*228 option 1) with a dev ROM on the phone, but don't remember the specific details.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RnkG:
First off thanks for the quick reply. I've been researching this whole time and when I dial *228 I don't even get prompt to pick an option. This tells me that somehow the radio itself is possible damaged. Is there anyway a rom could damage it? I ask knowing it's highly unlikely... I know the phone worked fine up to the release of the droid x when the friend upgraded to it. And all I've done is rooted and flashed, so I'm curious, can I test the radio at all?

Thanks.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I just re-read your initial post and actually can't tell if the phone has ever been successfully activated since you received it. You mentioned taking it in to the Verizon store, but you didn't say what the outcome was - was the Verizon store unable to activate it?

Normally when you dial *228 it just sounds like a normal voice call - you hear audio, the recorded lady's voice provides a menu, etc. Since that needs to happen in order to activate the phone, it is fairly obvious that the cellular radio must be working completely for that to happen - so the fact that you don't hear any audio seems to indicate something is wrong.

Why don't you try and reflash the phone back to stock using the download from this thread which also flashes the radio:

[ROM][10/20/2010]FlashBack21 v1 -Return to Factory Stock - UPDATED

And see if that gets you any different result. That would eliminate any effect of "dev" software, and also reflashes the radio with the July 2010 version - the last one officially shipped by VZW/HTC for the Eris. If you can't get audio (and you are sure from playing music that there isn't a speaker problem), that would point to a hardware problem.

BTW - even if the phone is working completely, VZW needs to already be aware that it's ESN/MEID is associated to your account, and I think that your other phone needs to be turned off at the time you attempt activation.

cheers
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RnkG:
Thanks again. I'll work through that and then post back here.

Thanks again!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RnkG:
So I followed the simple to use guide as directed and everything flashed just fine. When when I got to the activate screen I tried to activate and when it dialed the number I hear nothing. So I turned the speaker on and hit number on the dial pad to make sure the volume is working and it appears to, but it doesn't make the ringing sound when you normally call a number. Soooooo as a desperate act to see if the radio was working what so ever I did something crazy... dialed 911, and I heard it ring one time, then hung up and pulled the battery. So i think the radio works fine in it, I'm going to go to the verizon store and have them try and activate it again.

Thanks a million for all of your help! I really, really appreciate it!

Update:

Just got back from the verizon store. They maunally activated the phone and still no connection to the network. What I don't understand is how when I dialed 911 it rang but nothing else will. Could verizon be blocking this phone?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If they activated it I don't know how they could be blocking it. I would've checked to see if it was working before I left the store, and when it wasn't, would've brought this issue up with them.

Are you just going by their word that they activated it, or is there some other way you can tell that it's activated, even though you're not getting any service? What I mean is, if you're not getting any service, how can you be sure they activated it successfully?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Other than bad hardware, the only thing which would cause this problem would be a "blacklisted ESN" - that would usually be a stolen phone, or a phone that was on a Verizon account that was abandoned by the subscriber with an unpaid balance. (Verizon doesn't want customers who cheat them to continue to cheat them by habitually opening new accounts under assumed identities, so they just blacklist the ESNs of phones that were used on abandoned accounts with unpaid balances)

Verizon won't activate phones with blacklisted ESNs - but if you walked in the phone store and asked them to activate it for you, I would presume that they would have told you straight up "We can't/won't activate this phone".

The radio does not use a separate technology for 911 calls, so, yeah - there is something odd going on here. Perhaps you had a "green" VZW customer assistant that isn't familiar with what happens when someone wants to activate a blacklisted phone, and simply didn't take notice when "something unusual" popped up on the computer they used to enter in your activation request.

You've got stock software on the phone now, so I wouldn't hesitate to pick their brains about it. Telling a VZW tech about the 911 call might convince them a little better - but just remember that you are admitting to a criminal activity (calling 911 without due cause).

Also - bear in mind that by law (in the US) every cell phone has an aGPS unit in it, precisely for the purpose of emergency services locating a cellular handset when the user is incapacitated. ( There is a small risk that if you make a 911 call, cops will end up at your door even if you hang up.)
