[Nook Color General] hypoxichypoxic:
The root 'fail' here is that B&N overloaded the term/brand of the made up word 'Nook' to apparently include files/products that have nothing to do with, and are incompatable with, the product/devices that originally spawned it.

Regardless of if they put a disclaimer saying "oh, by the way, these nookstudy books really aren't nookbooks, and you can only use them on a completely different software product that happens to have nook in the name", it was a poor marketing decision on B&N's part. Additionally as evidenced by the suggestions here on how to make the purchased content 'just work', the decisions to add DRM to content is fraught with problems even for legitimate consumers and more often than not only serves to alienate and annoy your customers, and often push them to to getting content through alternate (un-paid for) channels.

However I would think the 'official' nook forums would be a better and more sympathetic venue to vent about using the nook in the ways that B&N intended, vs a site that is more dedicated to going beyond (and sometimes against) their original marketing goals.
[Nook Color General] rjsmith2007:
I'm surprised that you actually found any textbooks. I checked BN and couldn't find anything for my classes. More time for web browsing I guess. LOL. That said, I put my Nook in a custom Moleskin Notebook case, so most of time my professors think that I'm writing in a journal or something.
[Nook Color General] M0RDECAI:
<---- Rydsmith

LOL :p to anyone who spends hundreds of dollars on a product before they decide wether or not they like the product in the first place, shame on you

Found this in your first post to this forum...

I feel sorry for whomever bought you this wonderful gift of a nook color. Do they know you're wining out your ass about how crappy the gift is? :eek:

First nobody gives a damn what laptop you have :rolleyes:

Second you're mistaken in thinking you would not ever need to lug around a laptop if you had a nook, the nook never was advertised as a computer replacement.

Personally, I think academics should always be paired with books. It'll be a sad day when students only look at glass screens for knowledge. I had books all through school. Big heavy back breaking books. Reminded me that knowledge comes at a price. Quit being a dainty fairy boy and hump that suitcase of books on your back and tough it out.

As the guys in my generation would say...

HARDEN THE **** UP.
[Nook Color General] Paul22000:
Wait, wait, wait. He received this as a GIFT??

So he's not out ANY money for "purchasing" the Nook Color.

So not only is he a whining little POS, but he's a liar too? WTF
[Nook Color General] fatfingered:
I don't think lugging dead tree books is the answer for the future. If the world migrates to digital books and got rid of textbooks, why not?! SO what if you lugged a backpack full of books in your school days (hey I did too).

Using your argument, we should all be walking miles everyday to work rather than using the gasoline automobile. Or use 14.4k dial-up internet instead of broadband.

Hey are you a fairy for carrying around your new android phone instead of lugging an old Motorola brick cell phone from the 80s? :rolleyes:
[Nook Color General] M0RDECAI:
That's apples and oranges to my comment...

Books are like gasoline... never going to be replaced.

Should nook do textbooks?? Definite YES. I hope "nookstudy" actually comes to the nook :rolleyes: As I think it will even if not on this generation of the device.

But when it comes to whining fairy boys *cough* you know who you are *cough* then a little bit of weight on your back might build some character.

Anyway i'm peeling myself from this thread... may it slip into forgotten thread oblivion :D
[Nook Color General] FastCR:
I'd agree with having books. I know I'm paying out the ass every semester for them, I'd much rather have something I can put on the bookshelf at the end of the semester and have some good reference material since you can't sell them for **** anyway.

Side note, anyone notice on the nook study page, in their ad, they show a link opening to friggen wikipedia? Isn't that the whole reason to spend hundreds of dollars on books, because they are ACCURATE?
[Nook Color General] devis:
After having read all 9 pages of this thread, I am forced by my superior logical skills to accept 90% of this post as truth.

The remaining 10% consisting of "forgotten thread oblivion" I cannot agree with. I like resurrecting... makes me feel like Jesus though it took him 3 days to come back himself. Granted, when you're dead it isn't very easy to resurrect yourself... just like this thread.

As you've all figured it out by now, I have absolutely nothing of value to add.

But I do want to say that no bags of popcorn were consumed during the reading of this thread.

And to continue the devaluation of my post even more, the OP should lay off the crack pipe and use the money he'll save to buy a lighter laptop and a pair of reading glasses.

And for all of the hard asses behind the nook/laptop/monitor/mobile screen, remember... this fella has been lugging around a 10 pound laptop!!! His arms are probably the size of tree trunks!

Ok i'm done

Can I transfer a SIM from an account activated for a Blackberry Enterprise data plan to a Galaxy Tab? I don't always need data on the device, so I'd like to use my existing data plan as needed. The T-Mobile folks didn't know what I was asking for and wanted to sell me extra services at full price.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoneSkillZ:
ok so i got a problem with my battery

my battery on my phone just going out to fast

for example today

i connected it so it could reload and then

when i disconnected it was 100%

then after 2 hours only that i havnt use the phone i mean havnt touched it even once

i look again on battery life and here it says 36%

and it keep going every day

can some1 tell me why it keep happening???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
WOW! That's a major drain in 2hours.

My 2 cents are on a defective battery - since the phone was on standby.

You can try some tutorials on adjusting the power saving settings (like screen brithgness what to turn off and not etc.)

Also you might try caibrate the battery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
there is a thing like u charge it to 100% ,unplug from the charger and turn the phone off ,then plug in again and charge to 100% again... there is a thread about it on this forum, do a lil search it might help u ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to battery and find partial wake usage, here the apps are listed that prevent the phone form sleeping and thus causing battery drain. Also check the % under Settings-about phone- battery usage to see what app or process consumed the most battery.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koenvbeek:
Does it get very hot? I mean - if the battery really contains 1500mAh (which I doubt in this case) and drains completely in 3 hours, that's 500mAh, so 3.5V*0,5A=1,75W continuesly.

You really should notice that while it's in your pocket...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoneSkillZ:
no the phone isnt getting hot

i mean it can sit on my pocket for like 2-3 hours and then it suddenly 3x %

without even touching it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Try these steps:

1. Please connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green, indicating the device is fully charged.

2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.

3. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the notification LED is green.

4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the notification LED is green.

5. Disconnect the phone, power it on (OPTIONAL: Enter Recovery at this point and Wipe Battery Stats (from Advanced menu), and use it. You need to use this sequence only once.

If that does not solve it you have a defective batterie.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoneSkillZ:
ok i will try it

but can u tell me what the point???

i mean what does it do??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
The point of that, is to make the battery life longer. And actually it works. I tried when i bought my phone an the increase was significant!

Edit: Just saw in another thread that some newer custom ROMs has some things messed up, and they eat the battery more than normal when the screen is off. You might take a look at it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoneSkillZ:
yea i did all the steps and its not working

the battery still going down rapidly

so i should buy new one??

I am a Junior in High School and after watching the original Tron and Tron Legacy multiple times and loving it I decided to work on a Tron Theme. Please understand that this is a crucial year for me as a Junior and updates will probably come most likely on weekends since school is my first priority.

TronTheme for Redemptive rEVOlution 2.2 by HeyItsLou has been officially ported.

I've spent a lot of time making sure everything works but please report bugs so I can fix the problem because I want everything to work with the number of hours I've spent porting this.

Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk; I am not responsible for any damage that is done to your phone. MAKE SURE YOU NANDROID BEFORE FLASHING; FAIR WARNING!

Again this is HeyItsLou's Rom not mine I just themed it.

Also some of the notification icons belong to the MIUI Development team. The 3G, WIFI, GPS, and Alarm icons are property of MIUI.

I think most other parts I themed myself but I may be wrong and if you catch something please tell me; I don't want to take credit for something I didn't do.

My theme was mentioned on http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/install-tron-android-theme-on-htc-droid-incredible/ probably because of Chingy's rom but cool none the less =]

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Marsbar:
Hi

My sd card on my Desire has become corrupted. I have a2sd+ on there; I can start from scratch (I accept the risk of installing development ROMs!) but I could really do with getting to the photos I took this morning before the card crashed.

gpart won't find the partitions at all but there's definitely still data on the card - if I strings the card I can see the DOS directory structure.

I used ROM Manager to create a 512MB ext partition with 0MB swap; I tried creating a w95 FAT32 (lba) partition of all the disk except the last 512MB using fdisk, but the partitions won't mount when I do that.

Anyone got an idea what values I should pass to fdisk to get it back?

I have

Disk /dev/sdb: 8017 MB, 8017412096 bytes

247 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1022 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 15314 * 512 = 7840768 bytes

I figured the FAT32 part is probably first, so I calculated the size of a 512MB partition as 65 blocks and assigned the first 956 blocks to the FAT partition, with the rest as the ext partition, but it made no difference.

I tried getting RM to create a partition on a second card I have and when I look at it in fdisk it looks really weird - there's messages about "Partition 1 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?)" and "Partition 1 does not end on a cylinder boundary"

Is there a way to recreate the partitions that ROM Manager would create without wiping the existing data?

Thanks!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
So Im thinking of flashing Nero V5. I flashed Axura 2.2.5.7 on stock 2.1

Should I just put the nero v5 on internal sd and use rom manager to install it or do I need to odin back to stock? I see a lot of people flashing roms without going back to stock 2.1. whats the catch?

Can I delete the Axura 22257 zip file (that i used to flash it to save space)? I don’t think I need to disable voodoo, do I?

Also, I think I need to wipe data and delete cache something like that… how and in which step do I do that?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzzz:
To wipe, reboot into recovery and do it from there. Most ppl don't go back to stock but if your new rom is giving you weird problems then you will probably have to go back to stock then flash.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bahnburner:
You can delete the zip files after flashing. Nero will automatically wipe during the install, so you don't need to worry about that. If you're running Voodoo recovery (Red text on black instead of green on black) then you won't need to disable voodoo lagfix to install.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:

New libraries and kernel for TESTING camera including Blackstone. They need testers! :p

[UPDATED 01/21][DEV - Camera (Diamond, Blackstone, Raphael, Rhodium) ] Camera

ATT! Kernel and libraries updated 02/21. Check first post.

Now cam works as well as you could expect under WM! Autofocus and every app I tried.

You can try it or wait untill changes get commited, and if things go this way that will be soon (in my opinion).

---------------------------------------------------------

Logs will be more helpful if you add this info:

Platform:

XDAndroid/other release: (FRX03-04, etc):

Kernel:

Modules:

And helpful details like modifications to startup.txt or if it's not a clean install, for example. Thanks!

---------------------------------------------------------

Notes (instructions in first post of linked thread, here for fast reference):

-If using FRX03, use the new libGLES_qcom and gralloc - better 3D performance.

-If using FRX04, those libs are included in the new kernel, so don't add/remove that lines from froyo.user.conf

---------------------------------------------------------

How to make logs - easy way

Please post logs in the main thread, it'll be easier for devs to use them.

How to make logs - command line way

1.- If you're in Android, reboot to WM (clean start)

2.- Launch Haret, let Android set down

3.- Enter Settings - Dev tools - Terminal Emulator

4.- write: "su", hit enter, "dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt", hit enter

5.- write: "logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt", hit enter

6.- Start Camera, mess with it, including taking photo if it works

7.- Exit to Home (via red buton), shut off device and get both txt's from root of sdcard.

8.- Attach them to the dev thread!

(Sorry for the multiple edits, I'm learning meanwhile)

Please, read the main thread pointed in the first post. As you can see in your logcat, the detecte library version is the BASIC_LIB (which means dream library). For camera to work on the blackstone, you need to have the NEW_LIB detected, which is the legend one.

Use the Lib_package on my thread and use the froyo.user.conf file that is in this package. It will automatically bind the camera library to the one needed for blackstone.

Camera only works with viruscrazy's kernels. The last one (AF) doesn't work for blackstone, though.

Tried the Viruscrazy's Kernels and works like a charm. Camera 3M pixels + Wifi Ok + audio working perfect. Video not working.

The thread seems to be a bit complicated to read, but it's easy, just follows the following steps:

1. download lib packages dated 23/Jan from point 1 of the viruscrazy's thread, previous backup, unzip the contents on your android SD folder.

2. if you are using FRX4 modify the config as indicated by viruscrazy. I used notepad2.

3. Download Kernel + module package dated 28/Jan from point 2 of the thread and, unzip on your android folder.

4. download the new haret.exe from the thread, modify the start.txt

5. enjoy your camera.

[Touch HD Android Development] Eodun:
Use last kernel and libs, it works perfectly for me:

libs

kernel

Modify your froyo.user.conf to use libs (you can remove libgles and gralloc lines if using FRX04), or use the included one adding modprobe ipv6 so goggles works.
