[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Well, if your phone is a rev 1006 you "should" have a problem like losing your button combo. I guess that could have happened but I doubt it, I've got a 1007 and never lost it.

So, as for ADB here's what I do. Take the android SDK folder you downloaded and look inside it. There is a folder called tools. I take the tools folder and copy it to the root of my C: drive. Make sure you have all the drivers loaded, speaking of which I would uninstall and reinstall the drivers. Sounds like they flaked out for some reason. Next open up a cmd window, Start > Run > CMD.

Then type,

cd /

cd tools

adb devices <<this shows if your phone is recognized. if it is...

adb reboot download

*or

adb reboot recovery

*or

adb shell

For what it's worth, I have been flashing my phone since I got it in July and the only time I Master Clear is when I have had a problem like a soft brick or something that I was suspicious about the data on my internal SD. Which, so far has been maybe 3 times. I don't think necessary to Master Clear every time you flash to stock.

Also, you shouldn't really have to the pop out the batter to do the download mode trick. I turn my phone off, hold both Vol up and down, then plug in USB and I'm in download mode.

Im having USB driver problems, windows 7 will not recognize my phone. I think this is why adb wont recognize my phone correct? I can only get into download mode now but using the power menu thats custom from Cognition. Is my phone screwed?? Can I flash a ROM without ODIN?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Like I said, have you tried uninstalling the drivers from windows and reinstalling them? I am running Win 7 x64 and have had that happen. After i flash a rom or flash to stock sometimes windows doesn't recognize my phone at all. The first time I just used my laptop to flash but the second time I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled. It's also important that you plug into the USB ports directly on the motherboard on the back of your PC. There are known problems when trying the front usb ports or through a hub.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziphoward:
Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling many many times. I am using a laptop and ive tried all the USB ports but still no luck. I hate having my phone like this, it will drive me insane until its fixed.. or officially considered usb bricked.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Just curious, is it a Dell laptop? My Dell never recognizes my phone unless I power the laptop on with the phone/USB plugged in. If the laptop is on, and I plug phone in it never works, so I leave it plugged in and reboot and it works. It drives me crazy, but whatever it's my work PC.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziphoward:
It is a dell actually, but I just tried your method and it didnt work for me. Thanks for the input though!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziphoward:
Alright, I downloaded kies mini today and it actually installed some drivers correctly. I was able to pull up my internal drive on the computer, but it wouldn't read it. I was able to get ODIN to see my phone(first time in weeks), but it only shows up when my phone is NOT in debugging mode. So im assuming Master Clear will work now. I was using AIO captivate tool box, and my phone rebooted at the click of the button into download mode, but once again it wont see my phone in ODIN while in download mode. Im getting closer!

Why wont ODIN recognize my phone with USB debugging on? Any more suggestions on how to make this happen?
[Vibrant General] jamespwolpert:
Okay, does anyone know what was up with that Einherjar dev team ROM that was supposed to come out a few days back called "insanity"? I saw that a mod closed the thread because it was an announcement not a post. But then they never got around to actually posting the ROM. I heard murmurs of a possible 2.3 ROM from them soon? Wondering if anyone, (especially representatives from the dev team in question) had the inside scoop?

Let the speculation begin.

[Nook Color General] mateo124:
Sorry guys, I am new here and am having a problem getting ubuntu to work on my NC. I am trying to get it to boot using adb but it will not show up on my PC. I have tried 3 different PCs (2 win7 64bit and 1 vista 32bit), installed the nook drivers but it will never show up in the command prompt. I have tried enabling and disabling development mode and I disabled USB mount. I don't know what else to try. I am on 1.1.0 of the system software if that matters. I got ubuntu to work once using terminal emulator but am having problems getting the script to work. But my main objective is getting adb to see my nook. If you could help, I'd appreciate it. Thanks
[Nook Color General] djurkash:
I dont follow you very well, what's your problem? Your PC doesn't see NC or something else?
[Nook Color General] mateo124:
ADB does not see it is what I'm saying. I will say that I am not using the stock USB cable that came with the nook as I don't have that cable anymore. Could it be that the cable I'm using doesn't work properly? It see's everything fine when I tell it to mount the SD card. I just using a froyo card in it and adb saw it although it said offline. Could the cable be a reason why it wouldn't work?
[Nook Color General] djurkash:
It's possible, but not likely as I am using diiferent cable for communication between PC and NC all the time... My original is connected to a charger from the purchase of NC...
[Nook Color General] edein:
did you install the right drivers for it? It depends which OS flavor you have on your nook. Honeycomb uses different drivers vs Froyo
[Nook Color General] njdevils28:
I'm having the same issues. I'm on a Windows 7 Box and I can not see the NC.

In Device Drivers under <Other> I find the NC but the driver is invalid. I have DL'ed the Android SDK with the USB drivers and I have tried pointing to the driver manualy. No Joy.

Any Help would be greatly apreciated.

im trying to flash paragon rc5. i follow the instructions, but when i go to choose sd card... and click on paragon.zip as file to use in clockwordmod recovery manager, it loads okay, then says replacing recovery manager and reboots. what did i do wrong?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
To flash rom you should boot into recovery, select ingersoll zip from sd, choose zip, select parogon, confirm, done
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mm01:
Well when i do, it acts like its going to install, but then says "replacing recovery manager with clockwork..." then exits and reboots into the normal recovery screen.

Each time i get into recovery it is the normal one. I have to go to reinstall packages to get to the clockworkmod one. Something tells me thats not right.

Could this have happened because i installed rom manager and it didnt say i needed it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Sounds like you are flashing an update.zip to get clock work recovery. i think you need to confirm you downloaded the correct file
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mm01:
What happened was i installed rom manager, got recovery manager through it, then downloaded paragon and its update.zip file. So am i basically flashing the recovery manager right now?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Sounds like it, are you on stock?

Paragon rom zip should be like 170mb in size
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mm01:
Rooted, but otherwise stock. Have already wiped all my data on it in preparation.

What im trying to do is this- have update.zip and paragon.zip in main internal sd folder. Go into recovery---reinstall---then it loads clockwork, then go to from sd---choose--- and if i pick paragon.zip it still does it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
let me clarify this, basically you do not need rom manager here.

1. download the update.zip and put it in your sdcard root folder;

2. download the rom file (170mb one) and put it in your sdcard; not necessary to be the root folder;

3. suppose you are on the stock rom; shut down your phone and use key combo to get into recovery mode;

4. apply the changes (i remember it is the second option), you may need to do it twice. you should now be in the cwm;

5. use the menu in the cwm to browse and install the rom file

6. reboot your phone. done.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Boot phone up normally. Delete paragon file you have. Redownload. Like I said the file should be like 170mb.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mm01:
Update.zip goes in the root folder? Where is that? I couldnt find it anywhere....

The file is about 170mb. I know thats correct, im thinking since i had already installed cwm i moght have screwed up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
when you select reinstall packages you should go into green recovery/clockwork recovery.

If that works boot phone, open rom manager, select install rom from sd, select paragon
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
check the attached file.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mm01:
Thats the update.zip i have. Now where do i put the damn thing?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Your internal sd card. Dl to phone, go to my files app, open dl folder find file select copy, click paste. Should now be where you need it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
copy to your sdcard root directory.

Device: Nook Color rooted to 1.1

I had my Nook Color in the car today (40 degrees or so), pulled it out to show her what it looked like rooted. While standing in the driveway showing her different things, I found the touch screen was overly sensitive. As I was scrolling through different things (the app list, twitter, facebook), the slightest touch would select/open an item. It normally doesn't do this. It was incredibly frustrating and almost unusable. I pulled it out later and it seems to be behaving like it normally does.

Does temperature affect the NC screen? Where they any touch screen changes in 1.1? Is there a setting to calibrate the touch screen? I can't seem to find one. Any other suggestions?

I tried doing a search on the forum, but the search crashed.

Thanks.
[Nook Color General] tactfulcactus:
I was wondering this myself. My input doesn't seem to register as I get towards the edge of the screen.
[Nook Color General] robjective:
I don't know if it's placebo or not, but I feel like this app improved my screen response.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=934500

As for the other question, I would expect the screen to be less responsive in cold weather, but I don't have anything to base that on.
[Nook Color General] zdrifter:
Guessing what you experienced was due to condensation on the screen. Doesn't take much and can be 'invisible' to you but the screen is sensitive to 'stuff' on the screen and will become overly sensitive if there is anything on it, like moisture, skin oils, etc .. a screen protector may help but unless it continues that is probably the cause.
[Nook Color General] burbank:
What you experience is probably temperature related, but another thing to try is to increase the LCD screen density to around 190, 200, or a little more. For me, I get improved sensitivity, especially near the corners.
[Nook Color General] foxdl99:
My daughter accidentally got a little water on the screen and it was a little erratic. I put it in a ziplock with a handful of rice for about 6 hours and it was like new.
[Nook Color General] migrax:
I have owned 3 nook colors, the first one I owned freaked out when I used a damp cloth to wipe the screen. It exhibited some strange behavior and emitted some loud static from the speaker. It would not power down or anything... finally it just went back to normal, so I took it back to B&N and then went and bought one at walmart. I took it back because I thought I wanted the Viewsonic G Tablet. But after trying it I finally bought a Nook Color at Best Buy, bought a screen protector too so that I don't have a repeat of my first NC. The screens on these things are, I believe, rather sensitive and the cold or the moisture may have played a part in your unit's behavior.

[Nook Color General] jcollierdavis:
Same here. My screen also seems very inaccurate.

Have you found a fix?

Sent from a NookColor using the xda app
[Nook Color General] tenderidol:
I'd be interested in a solution for this as well, since the edges of my NC screen seems to be a lot less sensitive. For instance, when the Market is launched, it takes 4-5 tries to hit the search button at the right top corner (I know that I can hit menu and select search from there, but I am trying to illustrate my point).
[Nook Color General] don_ernesto:
this modified kernel solves that

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=925451

and you'll also get a speedier nook :)
[Nook Color General] willverduzco:
It's funny, actually... The cold makes your skin less detectable because of vasoconstriction in your fingers as a physiological response to the cold temperature, but a hint of moisture by means of condensation has the opposite effect.

For me, condensation is rarely a problem, but the decreased capillary blood flow effect is quite noticeable.
[Nook Color General] Hextall:
One thing that's been mentioned before (and the B&N salesman told me while buying a screenprotector) is that if the screen has a lot of fingerprints, it'll make the nook act weird.

Try wiping the screen of fingerprints.
[Nook Color General] tenderidol:
Thanks for the reply. Is it safe to assume that the screen sensitivity would not be an issue in Honeycomb since it is designed for tablets? If so, I may just wait for the final release of HC before fiddling with different kernels,etc. Thanks!
[Nook Color General] don_ernesto:
final realease of HC? no one knows if we will ever have one...... anyhow, it seems to be a fix at kernel level (had to be fixed in eclair, froyo and HC), and it fact, it was discovered by deeper (the guy who ported our HC version)

my suggestion? go for it now. the sensitivity problem is way too bothersome, and it is very easy to apply
[Nook Color General] tenderidol:
Thanks again for the reply.

Yes, I'd love to take care of it ASAP, since I'm sick of trying to hit a small button on the screen and going somewhere else instead.

My NC was rooted with B&N 1.1 + Autonooter 3.0. Will I still be able to "apply" the changes that you mentioned on top of that or do I have to start from scratch?

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] don_ernesto:
go ahead! you won't loose any app or any data (not even your progress in Angry Birds)

Of course, before applying this changes i always make a backup. good to have a way back in case something goes wrong

Good test tool

I ran GoJimi's tool, and since then my screen has been flipping out. Typing anything is a good test...I enter one key like "z", and get 2 - "zm". Utterly maddening.

A good tool to see what's going on is "Mutitouch Test" from JerryW in the market.

When I press with one finger, I see a "phantom" 2nd point jumping around. Very quick way to see 1) how good tracking is and 2) if there's any random inintended multitouch action happening.

Hey everyone. It's time for me to upgrade my phone since mine recently got stolen...i had a MyTouch 3g rooted and i had it for a while...

so the thing is, i can get MyTouch 4G from Tmobile at a discount upgrade in 2 weeks, but i am wondering if i should do this, or just wait.

I desperatelly need a phone right now haha...i never realized how much i depended on it. I am planning on running the CM7 on the MyTouch 4G if i get that, and it looks great so far. But one of my friends suggested to wait for the dual-core processor phones coming soon...

i just dont want to get the MyTouch 4G and then a month after they come out with some epic new technology (even though this always happens..u cant stop technology advancement).

and suggestions? perhaps from people who have the phone?

Thanks!

As the norm is, I have been busy tinkering with the stock material for couple o days, and I will continue to do so for some more time!

___________________________________________________________

Query: There are too many apps running (background) all the time!! I kill them, they resurrect!, How to do away with that?

Solution applied: Used Advanced task killer (but, apps resurrect!)

Another Solution tried: In Settings>Account & Sync settings> Unchecked Background data and Auto sync options. (Now, they dont connect to the net, but, they still restart!!)

Another Solution: Force close (from Manage apps) .. (Still same issue!)

Now, How can I tell the apps to come up only when I call them!? :o

(And some other apps I want to schedule them to come up every hour or so.. like my Gmail/FB)

Welcome to the cool kids club! I'm in a somewhat similar situation, I got my streak just before the massive snowstorm hit. Some of those apps need to be running... if you close some of them you may not get updates/notifications, or you can shut down your phone/data connection, or lose the use of multitouch.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rptw:
from what i understand, froyo is really good with resource management and there is no need to constantly kill processes or apps, its best to just leave them unless your streak is slow like a snail

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rptw:
well in terms of the laws of nature (in most cases) stuff doesnt happen spontaneously so i think its safe to assume that your app that "started by themselves" were probably opened somehow either by you directly or indirectly by something else. if, however, you have a large number of apps that have started that you dont recall opening, maybe something is wrong with your software and you shouldnt try to cover the problem with a task killer.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] besony:

So, Now, can you or other guys here please suggest how to go to the "root" of this problem!?

Ok.

Look, these apps are open right now!

Voice Search

Email

Messaging

Maps

Astro

Assistant free​

I use the Adv Task Killer free.

(It says 7 apps killed and 180 MB free)

I open Adv task killer after 5 seconds.

and these apps are running!

Email

astro

Voice Search

Assistant Free​

and I am sure, If I wait for some more time, the other apps will join in too!

(Now it says, 3 Apps killed, 171 MB free!!) :eek:

have you tried using the stock app manager and killing the apps there? i just checked my phone and i have the same apps under the running tab using the stock manager, i think email and messaging are always running since you have push features on them, in terms of the others im not sure. whats so bad about email and messaging running anyways? im sure you use them often enough to not want to have to open and close them right?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alperin1:
Hey, you posted the same question over at Pocketables forum. :)

As stated earlier, 2.2 is really good at managing back ground tasks.

I can tell you if you use a task killer and you have a problem with an APP, which currently you do not, the programmer for the app probably will not help you till you remove the APP killer program.

What you might try to do is run though your menus and see what you have selected to run, such as locations and sync services and disable what you can. Also if you do not want some thing running, you may want to just uninstall it. I do understand that you want some programs but you only want them to run when you ask, not sure how to tell you to handle that.

But, are you seeing any difference when you have the background tasks disabled. Try to find the APK for the programs and rename them just to see if you have any issues.
