Every nandroid backup saves everything when you back up so there shouldn't be any mixing. The only thing that might be held over are miscellaneous files in the cache but you can wipe cache without wiping data and be fine, or not wipe at all cache won't hurt anything.

Also, if you are having issues with the D2G version of fission try posting in their D2G release thread to let them know about any issues.

and i am a complete android noob. i have never had any android based devices. i am an iphone owner. any tips/hints on where to start? ive looked through the forums but im nothing but confused at the terms and stuff.

i would like to root the device, where do i start? i dont know what all this rom stuff is and all the talk. can anyone help me out?

also, i tried connecting to wifi through my iphone (jailbroken running MyWi), but the Nook wouldnt recognize it. is it because it is considered an Ad-Hoc network?

any helps/pointers/links for a noob would be great. thanks.

[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Welcome to the community!

First off, i would say to take a read through the main Nook color information hub, found here: http://nookdevs.com/Portal:NookColor

There is lots of info about the device, and things that can be done with it. Terminology is all over the place, so if you have something in ind, i would suggest asking a specific question.

In general, the Android system is a highly customized Linux system, built on a linux kernel. Android itself is the rom, and is the OS that you are actually booting too. The kernel is the supporting software for the OS, and contains the system drivers (among other things). Commonly, when a custom rom is developed, an associated kernel is released with it, but they can be changed, if they are made interchangeable. If you do to the dev forum, you will see people working on both pieces.

The rooting information for the NC is in the portal page, and should get you fully started. As for the ad-hoc issue, yes, you will need to do some work to get that working, also found in this and the development forums.

I love my Droid 1 and thought the Ipad worked pretty cool. It's pretty heavy though and $500? No thanks.

If only there was a smaller, cheaper, user customizable option.... the NOOKcolor!

Found info on XDA about it. Did some research. Played with it a few times. SOLD!

This thread links to everything I need to know about rooting it like my Droid so off I go.

Thanks for all the hard work everyone.

So, I've been having a lot of problems getting an activation code since they've been asking for the IMEI numbers. My question is, are the activation codes they generate phone specific? For example, I have access to a Dell Venue Pro. It's a sample. If I ask them for an activation code using the IMEI of the Dell (and telling them it's a Dell,) will the activation code work for the HTC HD2? Thanks for the help in advance.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] inexorable:
i think it does not.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] EvoKnvl:
I actually have the phone in front of me and I have the IMEI. I just want to make sure that if I get the code, I can use it for the HD2. No sense in me trying to get it if it won't work for my phone.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] jhono235:
Well it wouldn't hurt to try. When I got my activation code for my HD2 I was told that I could use the code multiple times on the SAME PHONE which insinuates that it could be phone specific. I could be wrong though. Give it a try, you never know.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Silberpfeil3110:
At first the phone activation code is not specific.

Activation Guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928695

They need your name and your phone number (both must not be real), no IMEI.

After you get your code and enter it in your phone, it get's specific i think. It doesn't matter if you hardreset your phone, you can enter it as many times as you need it, but i think only on your phone...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kikikuku:
Hi all, 1st off, this forum is amazing. Please provide your input.

My device: HTC HD2 from Tmobile STOCK, out of the box, no mod has been done.

Problem: frozen at "stick together" screen for unknown time

Situation: the phone was used for 2-3 weeks, then sat in the box for approx 6 month.

Attempts: during all my attempts i didn't have the SIM CARD installed.

1/i tired to do factory reset, the 1234 then pressed yes -> frozen at sticktogether screen. took out the battery. then

2/Called Tmobile help support, we did hard reset by holding the volup and voldown plus power button, after I got to the animated screen.....stuck at "stick together"

3/Tmobile tech told me to take out the battery again, take out the micro sd card, and start the phone normally ....guess what ? stuck at stick together screen !!!! at this point, i was like :mad: **** should have not given away my iphone4

4/ while being stuck, the tech guy told me to use a pinpoint pen to activate the little yellow button next to microsd card, the device kinda turn off, then again ...stick together appeared. I thought to myself, i should have stuck with my Iphone4.

turning point: So, anyway, took out the battery, then turn on the phone normally, of course stuck at stick together...then let it sit for about > 3 hrs while watching "RED" from redbox...haha i came back, the phone logged in :eek:, kinda like the fresh start from out-of-the-box setting. I went through the initial tutorial, and all that good stuff. Seem to be functional. I turned the phone off, then do the vol down, and power button to check SPL version, mine is 2.4.1000000 or sumthing like. then it stuck at the tri color screen. took out the battery, then started the phone ...GUESS what ? stuck at stick together again.....I feel miserable.

I have two option,

1/ is to send the device back to tmobile and have them replace it.

2/ writing this thread and hopefully someone knows what's going on !!!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grasshands:
I recently updated to Rogers stock Android 2.2, flashed the speedmod kernel k12l so that I can have the BLN and now when I try to do voice over bluetooth in my car all I get is static. I've done a bunch of reading and this seems to be due to the use of the stock i896 modem with the i9000 based speedmod kernel, correct? (Even though the kernel page seems to say this is based on i897, I've read elsewhere that it's actually based on i9000)

So, in light of this, what modem should I be using on my Canadian Rogers Captivate i896? I understand that there are lots of differences between the modems, but is there a general one that just works (perhaps not squeezing every last drop of performance, but at least works)?

Thanks

Folks....

I have read that Radio Shack has some WiMAX repeaters installed before the HTC EVO was rolled out. Anyone here know the make and model number of this repeater? Why is it that we can not buy WiMAX repeaters? You can buy repeaters for 3G. They are all over the place. Some in home units to units that have a big external antenna.

Where I live in Portland Oregon my WiMAX reception in my yard, outside is "fair". If I walk about a block, it quickly turns to good, then excellent. However when I am inside, my WiMAX reception is "poor". I would think by now smart phone WiMAX repeaters would be off the shelf. Is this a legal issue, or has no one developed a repeater for home/business owners?

Thanks

[EVO 4G Accessories] gtkansan:
+1 on this. But I think they were micro cells and not repeaters.

EVO Sent
[EVO 4G Accessories] 4redstars:
The only way this would be necessary is if you think your home network would be to "slow" and you had to use Wimax as the speedier alternative...

as soon as I walk into my house I connect to wifi and have great speeds and save tons of battery life by having a strong consistent signal.
[EVO 4G Accessories] gtkansan:
I believe he meant to use his wimax connection for tethering and the like. If you dont have a home connection, thats why you need a repeater.

It doesnt make sense to use a microcell (i.e. your home internet) to generate a wimax signal (wimax uses so much more battery that its crazy) instead of just hooking up to wifi to begin with.
[EVO 4G Accessories] frifox:
i'd LOVE to stick a wimax repeater in my car... then all that's left is VPN to my home network and cifs mount my music & video library so apps can natively access them... say hello to my new flawless 2TB-music-and-video-filled Evo machine :D

might as well mount a small tablet-size lcd in the dashboard and play movies through the HDMI and wiring audio to in-car sound :cool:
[EVO 4G Accessories] mraroid:
WiMax repeater?

No Wifi where I am. It is just the htc evo and a laptop. The sprint map says I am in the best area I can be in. But my phone calls it "fair" outside and "poor" inside.

I called it a repeater, but you can use words like booster, microcell, amplifer, etc.

What I am looking for is something that is common and off the shelf in the 3G world. Some of the 3G repeaters (use you own word here) are small self contained units with a built in antenna. And some can take a external antenna mounted on the roof and RG6 running to the repeater. They come in all sizes and ranges and cost.

I can find correct antennas for 802.16e (2100 -2700Mhz - same as 2.5 -2.7Ghz), but I can not find any WiMax repeaters/amps/boosters, etc. Is it a legal thing? I would think that this stuff would be available.

Anyway, if any one can point me to a unit I would appreciate it. If you know why none seem to being available, maybe you can fill me in.

Thanks everyone for the good info and feedback.

So it seems that with my INC whenever I get an AOSP Rom my mic doesn't work when I call out. Now if I call out, and while it is dialing, hit speakerphone on and off, then it works fine.

I've tried it with both MIUI and CM7. I thought it was something wrong with MIUI when it first came out, but now realize that it wasn't.

Has this occurred before and is there a fix that I missed?

Thanks in advance.

*EDIT* I think it may be titanium backup. Going to reinstall all apps from scratch to see if it fixes it. Will post back.

THAT was it. Don't restore Titanium from a sense ROM. WOOT!!! Now I can stick to CM7!

[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Sad. If I'm reading that right, C&P won't function in the phone app...for...like...copying a phone number from one area (maybe from a browser) to the new contact input fields.

Thank you, MS, for such a ...erm...experience...with WP7
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
Well, you are reading it wrong. The stuff is about third party applications. It doesn't say anything about native apps, so we don't know how it will function and where.

As regards third party apps, there's nothing wrong with using a control designed for text, for, er, displaying text. That's the way it should be. Not everything should be selectable, and it isn't selectable in all OSes including "big" Windows.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FishFaceMcGee:
Well, depending on how the text is set up, you should be able to just tap a phone number in any built-in app and it will bring up the create contact section.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I read from the article that in 3rd party apps you'll be able to c&p only text from text boxes. So you can't copy twitter tweet right from the timeline.

So apparently you'll be able to c&p whatever you want from text boxes,

Plus probably other displayed content from native apps.

So I think not a huge problem here.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Was just, for the sake of minimizing comment, using that as an example, not as limited to. I'm more concerned with being about take information from emails or text messages or other content in a browser and being able to put it elsewhere when I need to.

I hope nobody is going to try to tell me I never have need for it...sheesh.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PG2G:
I'm fairly sure copy & paste has been shown in places like the web browser, email, and office during the demos. Don't worry so much, this article clearly states 3rd party apps.
[Windows Phone 7 General] MartyLK:
Cool. Appreciate the update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] sulphuricaciduk:
Anywhere you can select text, like you can in the browser, should work. Text messages (unless they change it) you would have to go through the motions of choosing Forward from the longpress menu then select the text from the text box; a bit long-winded but doable.
[Windows Phone 7 General] PCDOCLEE:
If Microsoft can add the function I would imagine DEVs could also make use of it in their apps. I could be wrong.

[Windows Phone 7 General] stillriza:
Thanks for the post. Been waiting for this.
[Windows Phone 7 General] emigrating:
This, while exactly what I expected after hearing what Mr. Kindel had to say, is a downer. Now, I don't use cut'n'paste that often on phones, but when I do it's almost exclusively from non-edit controls.

I would also have expected a way to copy'n'paste images considering they see Office as such a big thing, and TBH I quite often paste product images into OneNote on the computer - which syncs perfectly to the phone. Of course you're unable to edit the photo note on the phone, but just being able to cut'n'paste them would be great still.

TBQH this looks more like a half-assed implementation done quickly to get an update out the door.
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
If copy-n-paste is available at API level, there is nothing to stop app developers to implement whatever they like to support the feature directly.

The limitation of text box is only a limitation when the devs are too lazy to re-complile their code.

Of course, if such feature is not available at API level, that will be a true limitation. Personally, without multi-tasking support for 3rd party apps, copy-n-paste usage will still be quite limited.

Without the tradditional stylus and resistive touch screen, try to accurately select the text you want to copy on a capacitive screen using your fingers is nothing but frustration. I tried a few times on my Android phone and never worked for me. A pen and paper is much easier to do than copy-n-paste.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Casey_boy:
Have you tried a WP7 device? I know we can't currently select, but the "cursor" that is implemented at the moment (useful for adding/deleting stuff in texts) is pretty good.
[Windows Phone 7 General] doministry:
I must say the virtual cursor on WP7 is pretty nicely implemented.

Android sucks compared to this and is a pain sometimes.
[Windows Phone 7 General] vetvito:
I guess you guys haven't tried 2.3 or any new samsung devices. Copy and paste, and the cursor is very finger friendly.
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
I have used cursor on Android 2.2. It is much better than 2.1 but still copy-n-paste largely dependent on app's implementation.

Capacity touch screens are inheritally inaccurate. Cursors make it less painful to use but can't eliminate that inaccuracy. You just got a tool to let you fine tune your selection. It still takes multiple tries to accomplish the job. And god forbid, if you want to select a paragrah out (multiple lines) of an email, that cursor won't be much help to you.
