I am the winning bidder! Yay! ;)
[Nook Color General] nootered:
The seller does not explain the repercussions involved with performing this task. The fact that it voids the warranty, and that future update headaches are very likely as well.

His listing sounds about as clear as a brick wall.

That is not true, and what you speak of is a complete fallacy. IF someone has a product that people NEED, they make money. I assure you that the entire economic stability of our planet does not rely on screwing people over, and finding stupid consumers. There is much more to it than this, of course, but if you are interested in learning something ... I will let you walk around with me for a week.

So getting a virus on your computer, and going down to your local Barnes & Noble to purchase Nook Color eReader is the same thing? Your comparison hold absolutely zero merit. They are completely ridiculous.

Yes, actually you do need to know my financial background to make such a statement, otherwise you are just flapping your egotistical gums. A "C level executive" doesn't have to be an asshole willing to swindle people to succeed. I am self employed, and probably the wealthiest man I know, in terms of life as whole. :)

Hence, why I do not believe that our current "economic" system is sustainable or morally sound. It's cut throat and someone always has to lose. It's actually sick if you think about it. I wouldn't say that it is an economic system at all, it is closer to an uneconomic system.

[Nook Color General] TchnclFl:
And like I said, I'm sure there are in fact some older/less informed people who do! But I'd say, in general, most people don't, just like the disturbing number of people that pay 50+ dollars on an HDMI cable when it doesn't affect quality whatsoever.
[Nook Color General] Musicman247:
You are self employed. Good for you. And so according to you, you provide a service that people need and would not be able to ever figure out themselves?
[Nook Color General] nootered:
I take pictures, I capture moments and relay them in a tangible format to the buyer. A service? No, not really at all. I don't think that art is a service.

They would be very capable of taking pictures themselves, so it's not about incapability, it's likely because they would be happier enjoying themselves and having a professional take the photographers.

Just because I disagree with the economic state of affairs doesn't mean that I don't participate in them to survive. What other choice do we have?

My point is that I am not willing to swindle people to make a buck. If you are, fine by me.

distributing test versions of software

And in fact, even if it was a release version, while android may be free, this build is likely only released free for personal use, which does make his commercial, for profit distribution a violation of ebay's copyright/license infringement policies and likely the whole affair illegal as well under software piracy laws.
[Nook Color General] NuroSlam:
Well. Atleast some do understand the nature of opensource, many more do not.

I suggest reading the cathedral and the bizzar before commenting on if this is legal or moral

The only prob i see is there is no restore option. A 2 sdcard set would be a win/win
[Nook Color General] the_scotsman:
Have cleaned up the thread to remove all the troll/argumentative posts.

Please keep it civilised :)
[Nook Color General] computerpro3:
I don't know what's funnier; the fact that you don't think art is a service (and I'm a fellow artist, both amature photographer and semi professional musician) or that you go on to contradict yourself and provide the definition of a service in the second paragraph.
[Nook Color General] Alakar:
Honestly, I don't see a problem with most of those auctions I looked at. They're not charging for the software; they are charging for the SD card, shipping, and their labor to set up the card. Prices are a little high in my opinion, but I bill out at $125 an hour so maybe not. These are the ones running Nookie Froyo from the SD card.

The ones offering root and detailed instructions I have some problem with, as the rooting techniques and instructions were collaborative efforts from this community and others. They also seem to be selling the technique for 1.0.1, which will break if they update to 1.1.
[Nook Color General] foxdl99:
I would say their prices are high, but they are completely legal. Best Buy charges outrageous prices to "install the latest updates" to your computer. Some people are morons, and have money to blow on unnecessary services. If they would take the time to learn a few things, they would save a ton of money. But there are markets made everyday by these folks.
[Nook Color General] computerpro3:
The profit margins are pretty slim. I mean how much is a class 6 16gb card? $40? Plus ebay listing fees, 2.3% paypal, free priority shipping? And they are charging $65?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
As if they're giving out a 16G card! All you need is a 128M card, in reality you won't find one, so let's say 1-2G, which would be around $10.
[Nook Color General] burbank:
What a rip-off!
[Nook Color General] carguy88:
Well,if it's this guy, then maybe it's me too, because this is the most reasonable thing anyone has said on here. Along the same lines, the Geek Squad makes this guy's nooter cards look like a bargain.
[Nook Color General] Gorilla72:
Speaking of memory Cards.

Don't know how far off topic this is, but two questions.

1.) Can I crack open my Nook Color and UPGRADE the internal Memory card? Just remove the one that's there, copy EVERYTHING off it onto, say a 16gb or 32gb Class 10 and reinstall??

2.) What is the best brand and class to use for the Exp memory. I would assume, from what I have read, SanDisk Class 10 16gb/32gb?

Your thoughts anyone? (noob here, so be gentle please!)
[Nook Color General] computerpro3:
They wouldn't have perfect feedback and be powersellers if they were ripping people off like that.
[Nook Color General] n4m347yp3:
Yup......but its all about market value. Always be closing.

It's A Free Market

I just lookd at the sd cards on ebay and the profit margin isn't that great. The seller burns the image, tests it, packs it and ships. Then you have to deal with ebay and paypal. Sounds like more trouble than it's worth. Would have to sell a mess of them to make it worthwhile. Besides.... half the fun is learning and doing it yourself :D

[Nook Color General] ottoman1384:
Sounds like most of you guys are just mad you didn't think of doing it first.

I don't see anything wrong with it and even considered doing something similar in my local market (craigslist), but decided it was too much of a hassle.

Too much time and not enough profit.

$70 is a lot for a 8gig SD card but you have to consider the time spent on flashing it and sending it out.

SD card: $20

Time Spent: 1.5hrs @ $25/hr = $38

Total $58

So a $12 profit is not ridiculous. Sounds about right.

[Nook Color General] evilPERSOn2009:
It does not take that long to flash the rom into the SD card. I bet I could pump out at least 10 in an hour.
[Nook Color General] austontatious:
I would agree that it's a little tasteless, however one could argue that they are not selling the software, but the service of setting up the sd card. And for that, they can charge what the market will bear. It's too bad that someone can't google - it took me about an hour total to find instructions, download the image burner and a couple of archive tools, burn the card, install CWM and CM7, and restore my apps from my Evo. But if someone would liek to pay me to do that for them, I'll do it for way less than $70.
[Nook Color General] devis:
Is it ethical? NO. Is it legal? Debatable. Is it right? Well... I think it is.

Yes they're selling a service. If you're willing to pay money for the service then pay it and good luck. Not everyone is patient enough to follow directions or screw with things they don't understand. Some people just aren't adventurous or have an aversion to learning. Some others are just stupid and buy iPads.

I believe you can do whatever the hell you want to as long as it's not illegal. Though I don't endorse it, frankly I don't feel bad about the stupid people who were taken by the Nigerian bank VP scams or anything the like. Sorry... if you're too stupid to believe all that crap, then you don't deserve to get any of your money back.

Remember, _______ is in the eye of the beholder.
[Nook Color General] luigi90210:
really? no price is appropriate?

so your telling me that if someone wants me to remove windows and install linux for them are you telling me i should do it for free just based on the fact that linux is open source?

now im not a lawyer but i know for a fact that that isnt illegal and that it isnt infringing on any copyrights, how is it different for a tablet?

labor is labor, you dont tell the lawnmower guy that you wont pay him because he used your lawnmower, someone took the time to put froyo on the sd card(whether the price is worth the time is very debatable) so i believe they should get paid for doing this.

EDIT: after reading the rest of this thread i have become very disappointed

its a service for crying out loud, just cause the service doesnt appeal to you doesnt give you the right to call it a rip off

just think where most people buy computer stuff

the ones i can think of off the top of my head are Bestbuy, Fry's electronics, Circuit City, and maybe amazon and ebay when it comes down to online shopping

now compare these stores prices for sd cards, add in labor, and shipping and handling(handling being paypal and ebay) and your at about $50-$60; now $70 isnt a bad idea considering the price the above companies would charge if they knew how to do that

its not praying off stupid people, its not ripping off people, its a legit service in which a lot of people believe its helpful, and if you say they can just learn this off the internet, you have not worked with people who are technologically handicapped, or people who are really old

to them learning themselves is more work than it should
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
This thread verifies the extensive scientific studies demonstrating that roughly half the population is less intelligent than average.
[Nook Color General] luigi90210:
Although i agree with your statement, i dont think it shows people be less inteligent, i believe the thread shows how many people dont understand the ethics of this service.

Now im not saying that i need the service but i do see it as an aid for peole who want these cool things but who dont have the knowledge or the time to learn how to do it themselves

But thats just my $0.02
[Nook Color General] devis:
Assumption being made that you are aware of what the average is and have ways of measuring it. Well, allow me to discredit your claim.

Averages are measured by adding up all the data and dividing it by the number of subjects studied. In this case, if half of the population is less then the average, one of two things has happened:

1. Data was doctored to produce a higher average.

2. The individuals measuring such average were themselves part of that below average half hence unable to come up with an acceptable end result.

And, in the words of the immortal George Carlin: "I have no ending for this so I take a bow"
[Nook Color General] RoboRay:
Other studies have also found a correspondence with the interpretation of humor.
[Nook Color General] begadkepat:
I remember looking on Craigslist in my area a few times for Nook Colors before I purchased mine (from B&N). There were a few on sale for $350. They didn't come with cases, or SD cards, or anything of the sort. The sellers thought that loading Honeycomb would be enough to make people pay $100 more than retail.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesigningOne:
I am in the middle of a full scale revolt from Sprint. MetroPCS is saying they can switch the Hero CDMA over to their network by the end of February. Seeing as my Sprint contract means very little to me any more, I am beginning the process of rooting and other trouble-making. My question is with the order of events.

Is it best to wait until the phone is switched to Metro to root or does it matter?

I have a sevice center in my area that will flash the radio, so it will not be a lone venture. Just looking for any imput and suggestions.

Thanks!

Hey guys I need some help regarding boot animation sound. I am currently running Andromeda 2.0 which comes with SGS tools. It says that if I place a .wav file in SD/sgtools, that will play during boot up... it is not the case though. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong.

Ps: I've tried putting system volume up before rebooting but that is not the problem...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] NunHugger:

[Captivate Themes and Apps] Vik_92_Sandhu:
Thanks, sorry will search better next time.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tonyc0642:
I think you mean .ogg ...Oog is a town in Somalia.

Make sure you have to set the file to play as the startup sound with sgs tools as well, then tap apply. Just putting the file in SD/sgtools and rebooting isn't enough.

I am porting a rom and trying to get the softkey, end call and power button light to function properly. What controls them?

If it do a:

They come on but don't function correctly.

Good Afternoon Sprint Tab users,

I have seen a lot of use wanting more from our tabs and haven't been able to get it. Well I have a plan now. We have a super smart DEV willing to work on getting some stuff out there for our tab. A454Nova and Bauxite have worked on some stuff, but they need help w/ this stuff. I have asked noobnl to help us out and he is willing to get CM6 on the tab, here is the catch we need you to donate to help get him a sprint tab.

This is a huge opportunity to get our tabs to the same level the GSM tabs are at. I am tired of setting at the stock level and want more out of my tabs. With all this said please click on my donate button and lets take the CDMA tab to the next level. Please click on noobnl link in the post below.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

V/r,

Jkurl
[Galaxy Tab General] noobnl:
not worth it since the galaxy tab 2 is coming out

all your money is refunded
[Galaxy Tab General] jkurl:
ok i just donated. Check your e-mail and you are halfway to your tab. This is how serious I am about making this tab kick a$%.
[Galaxy Tab General] a454nova:
Awesome! I'll put some in on Monday, I have to move funds around.

jkurl, I knew you meant business when your where PMing me. lol :eek: crazy guy! :D

Thanks noobnl! :)

We might edit the topic to show the cause.

We also nee to get our own section soon.
[Galaxy Tab General] jkurl:
yep, I do mean business. This is going to be awesome. i am excited to get this going. Take that GSM tabs.
[Galaxy Tab General] a454nova:
Very good point... hmmm
[Galaxy Tab General] jkurl:
He does have a good point. I might just get the tab2.
[Galaxy Tab General] nzaw4:
Damn, I just picked up a tab from sprint last week and want to donate, but I guess ill be returning this tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] jkurl:
Yep it looks like the t mobile tab is the way to go.
[Galaxy Tab General] a454nova:
I really hate to say it but... I feel sick that this only had a life of a few months. TAB2 is going to awesome and I feel like samsung just ****ed over on all our Sprint ppl. If I where you guys. SELL them now while you can get some money for it. I played the double 30 day game. Thanks God!
[Galaxy Tab General] gordesky1:
Im gonna keep mine sense i did get a good deal on mine and im ony paying payments and also agood 3year warrantty which even if i spill something on it or kil it somehow its covered:)

and even if there isint gonna be no mods its really not a big deal to me the tab does everything i want it to do anyways.

Sill sucks tho that a new tab is coming out aready. . But than again thats how tech goes and after the tab 2 comes out there might be a tab 3 months.down the road again llol

Another thing is its not gonna come out for another 3 or 4 months whichi cant be with out my tab that long.

I still hope there will be some dev worked on these tabs tho by someone even tho not much a big deal to me but stil would be nice, And hopefully it will get honey comb ported to it because i was reading that they got the nook color to boot honey comb. . . Lol so if that can run it than this tab can run it better. It is getting gingerbread atleast for now tho not sure when. . . .

But ya im still happy with the tab.

Sprint: SPH-P100 firmware

I saw an article on: http://www.samsunguniverse.com/forum/topic56.html

and got a link from:deadik@gmail.com to donload the stock rom for flashing...

download site: http://depositfiles.com/files/elmpfgeel & http://fileshare.in.ua/4106185

This has 5 files:

SPH-P100.DJ30.tar

modem.bin

Odin3v1.31.exe

Odin3.ini

pit.pit
[Galaxy Tab General] cruiserbax:
Please be careful how you word things, I saw you posted this in another thread too. before everyone ups and flashes this please PLEASE wait until someone who has already lost gps from flashing tests it to see if it fixes gps. I only say this because there is already an "almost stock" flashable ROM with that name on this forum that has the Epic 4G modem in it. it is just a ROM to help folks recover their Sprint Tabs as a last resort but you lose gps.
[Galaxy Tab General] mmathai77:
can someone please with a Bricked GPS Sprint Galaxy tab try this and tell us if the GPS works after?

UPDATE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! EDIT!!!! IMPORTANT READ!!!!!!!

I emailed the guy and this is what he said:

"I'm using this firmware more than month, but i'm not from USA, so i cant say anything abut working 3g, but guys, who create this firmware, said, that it should work.

GPS doesn't work, but i don't flash it again, because I'm afraid to make it brick again.

modem.bin file from some Sprint HTC device.

All that I can say- this firmware works, and its better, then "gold" brick."

So the above link with the stock sprint rom is the same one that bricks your GPS and uses a different MODEM.BIN and no way to get your GPS working again unless you send it into samsung!

I am using Sprint Tab

Are people able to use youtube/ Vevo/ any streaming video on EVDO (3G)

[Galaxy Tab General] Bountyhunter1000:
I am surprised at all the people that are mad cause the tab 2 (aka tab 10.1) is coming out. Does anybody realize that that this will be a 10.1 inch screen device with the same dimentions as the zoom? I know its going to be dual core, honeycomb, bla bla bla. Its goin to be a samsung copy of the zoom with a price to match so is HTC's new tablet and LG's as well. In fact ALL tablets running honeycomb (as far as I have read) are all 10.1, no hardware buttons, dual core tegra 2 cpus, stock android platform tablets with no manufacture launcher like touch wiz or sence.

I got my tab because of its size. It fits in a pocket, small enough to be truly portable, usable with one hand, and it is pretty fast for a tablet. If I wanted a tab 10.1 (aka tab 2) I would have gotten the zoom. As i right this I am using a netbook that is the same size closed as a zoom in height width but has full windows 7, keyboard, sprint 3g, and 11hours of bat life with only weighing 1.5lbs more. Why buy a big tablet that is $600 whan you can get a netbook for $300-$400 imo. The tab is the perfect go between when the netbook is too much and the evo is not enough.

So anyways I will click on that donate button in a few so we can keep it goin for our tabs. Thanks for the chance!!!

I am busy so if any info is out of date I do apologize and please free to correct me. I just don't think everybody is aware of what the tab 2 was.

Roms

I just picked up the Sprint version of the tab. What are the hardware differences btw the cdma and gsm versions besides the obvious network differences?
