I've found the same thing with keyboard (but not my wiimote)

I think the BT HID retransmits until the device gets it. When I get at the edge of range I can notice delay between pressing play and the play working, sometimes it's over 1 second.

I dig it, but many are experiencing problems with the keyboard cutting out, especially when wifi is in use.

It tends to get goofy and acts like it is receiving key repeats (that don't occur when the same keyboard is used with other devices.)

When it works right, it's great, but it seems to randomly just start freaking out requiring cycling everything to correct, and sometimes it starts acting goofy as soon as you bring it all back up. Unknown cause.
[Nook Color Android Development] woot1524:
Hmm haven't seen anything like that yet. I'll have to type up a short story or something in AK pad and see if anything happends.
[Nook Color Android Development] notinterested:
Glad you think you speak for people here...

this is exactly where the discussion belongs get over it...

Make YOUR own thread.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
If other people can confirm this kernel fixes their bluetooth enabling issues then I'll merge this with the default CM7 kernel and my overclock kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Flashing now..

I have had the same experience as the OP that talked about no BT working, ever (except for very weird times).

EDIT: Booted fine. BT turned on and linked fine. Well done. Will update if something breaks it.

No BT input devices to test (mouse, keyboard), but file transfer works well.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Just installed it and I have the same problem.

Keyboard works perfectly until I turn on wifi and while wifi is doing certain things (one of which is starting a wifi connection) it jams the bluetooth causing keys to repeat and lag and do all sorts of bad things.

turn off wifi, everything works perfectly again.

EDIT: ok this is different... Using this kernel I was able to type for an extended period without it acting up. I will take my keyboard with me tomorrow and so some testing, but hopefully it works. If you enable the keyboard, then turn on wifi, it does get jammed when the white indicator pops in the status bar (as if negotiating the connection is jamming the bluetooth.)

Once it gets past that it seems to be fine. Intermittent connections may have been the problem all along?

#########################

I've not had any trouble with BT coming on when I had it on before I reboot/shutdown. If I turned it off an then reboot, it wouldn't come on until I fixed permissions and hardbooted (some have said you just needed to shutdown or hardboot, not fix permissions. I don't know.)

I just turned it off and did a reboot and I was able to turn it on without any troubles!! Good work on that front anyway.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
I believe this is because Bluetooth coexistence mode is turned off. Could you try enabling it in /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

This was disabled because some people had a hard time enabling bt when I turned it on. I'm hoping this kernel fixes that.
[Nook Color Android Development] TheTodFather:
Works for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
BThWlanCoexistEnable = 1

Was already set to 1.
[Nook Color Android Development] Canadoc:
I can get you a prescription to help with that.

Last I checked this was a cm7 general discussion thread.

Since one of the remaining fixes to be done involves the battery and that this can have an impact on the lifespan of the device, it is not a stupid topic.

In fact, I would argue since it had not been discussed much before, it beats much of the repetitive topics in this thread that could have easily been answered by using search or reading through the thread..

But alas you have chimed in and I would hate to see you get crankier so I will not revisit the topic until there is a new development and instead will keep listening to people wonder why try lost their of after flashing latest nightly or why does a tablet need a lockscreen and why does Bluetooth not work crap.....

From 1.1 Nook Color with 1.1 ghz overclock
[Nook Color Android Development] j0ckinjz:
bluetooth doesnt work for me either. It tries to enable but never turns on. I am on nightly 35 and OC kernel.
[Nook Color Android Development] racks11479:
I can confirm same issue that chisleu has. And as he confirmed. Bluetooth coexistence is enabled.
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Sorry, I meant to tell you to set it to 2
[Nook Color Android Development] lschroeder:
I have xoom bluetooth keyboard with disconnect issues. If I use verygreen sd version to run this cm7, is this the file I should use for the update referenced in the md5 post? Does it already contain the 4/4 kernel or is it a special version for testing? Can I shut down the nook, mount the sd card in pc, and use notepad++ to change the file to a 2? I replace uImage with the shut down, mount method to manually update the kernel, since I use sd card kernels.

Like to help, but not sure of steps? I'm running Phiremod v5.3 from emmc and cm7 from sd card. I usually have a data sd card but can switch it out. I have updated the cm7 sd card before. Not sure which nightly and OC I used last. Could use ClockWorksMod to flash a special kernel to Phiremod v5.3 if you would like?

Another issue: When I have the keyboard active and playing flash files from the internet, it seems to buffer more. If I move the keyboard out of range or use settings to disconnect the keyboard, the buffering is less and the flash files play better. I have cyfi bluetooth external speakers. When I use them I get the same buffering issue, so I just use an external player through the headphone jack instead.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
Set it to 2, turned off BT, shutdown.

bluetooth enabled right away. Same problem. When Wifi goes white the keyboard repeats the last character hit a few times and disconnects requires cycling the power on the bluetooth keyboard to correct.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Could it be the channel used for both BT and WiFi, may cause unwanted harmonics and cause the issue.

Nook Color is a MDPI device. That commit was for other devices.
[Nook Color Android Development] :
Shut down nook overnight, tried to turn on BT, didn't do it (same issue as before: It "tries" for a few seconds, I see the icon flash on the taskbar, then it's gone).
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
It's not harmonics because they are both 2.4ghz. harmonics would be like certain 2 meter frequencies that can cross over to 440mhz and such. (factors of 2 or 3? I forget how exactly that works.)

I thought bluetooth is SUPPOSE to get around this stuff automatically, but perhaps that isn't working quite well enough in this case.

I have tried moving my wifi to different frequencies but it had no effect. Honestly, between wireless keyboard, bluetooth, 2.4ghz home phone, wifi, etc, there is a lot of noise here, but even when I turned everything off and unplugged my keyboard TX/batteries, I had troubles.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
I set TIWLAN.INI to use dual frequencies, 2.4 and 5 have not had the opportunity to test...
[Nook Color Android Development] greenleaves:
Battery consumption

Just had CM-36 flashed for 13 hours on battery. Now the remaining battery is 70%. Here are some statistics from Applications settings > Battery use:

Display 34%

Phone idle 28%

Cell standby 22%

Andriod OS 6%

It's surprised to see both Phone idle and Cell standby accounted for 50% battery consumption. Are those statistics valid?

I didn't use NC much after the charge. Is there a way that we could disable Phone and Cell standby. Obviously we don't use the phone features on NC.
[Nook Color Android Development] lyam23:
This topic of discussion seems to come up more than any other on this forum. Consider "Phone Idle" and "Cell Standby" as mislabeled categories of battery usage. The battery usage is legitimate.

i am using the tablet tweaks rom and the newest kernel

my samba filesharing no longer works and also when using gmail i cannot fetch any attachments.

any else experiencing this?
[Nook Color Android Development] rdunseith:
I just wish that ADW Launcher so wasn't so intergrated. Really hard to get rid off. Not that hard but it seems like it is built in CM7. Using home switcher and launcher pro just seems faster.

In settings ADW is gone.
[Nook Color Android Development] Link3737:
I'm sure if Launcher Pro were open source like ADW then the Cyanogenmod team would have considered using it as the default launcher.

However, as it stands, it would be impossible for the team to make LP work as they want it to.
[Nook Color Android Development] 10equals2:
Anyone else experience horrible unusable wifi with CM7?

is the wifi still being worked on?
[Nook Color Android Development] bonobomidwest:
No problems for me... can you be more specific? I have several posts on troubleshooting wifi 101 on the network side which might help...
[Nook Color Android Development] Lint6:
So are the phone-related things safe to remove? I mean things like voice dialer, messaging, the dialer storage etc..and camera

Wifi has been working flawless for me.
[Nook Color Android Development] kronium:
When I click "My Apps" from the market place, I get "No downloads from Android Market."

How do I fix this so I can see updated apps? thank you.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
May I suggest you re-write the instructions more clearly and share with the community, as this community thrives on the kindness and generosity of others. Your contribution could bring some needed assistance for noobs...
[Nook Color Android Development] canyoufindben:
You can remove them from your home screen, and the launcher shortcut, but if I remember right, don't remove/uninstall them because it will mess with what apps you can download from the Market.

It's been about a week since I read that, but I think it still applies.
[Nook Color Android Development] mthe0ry:
I am having an issue with my wifi where the device stops recognizing access points. I will turn off/turn on the wifi and it will skip "scanning" and go directly to "connecting". The only problem is, it has no awareness at all of any access points (the access point list is empty) so I have no idea what it thinks it is connecting to. I know my home wifi is within range and has a very strong signal, so it baffles me how it could not show up on the AP list.

This seems like an intermittent problem, too. The wifi will work for long stretches, and then have this issue which will correct itself. Rebooting / shutting down and turning back on all have no effect and the issue will persist. Sometimes I have to reinstall CM7 to get it to work again...

Anyone having the same issues?
[Nook Color Android Development] faceman66:
Already done: my complete instructions
[Nook Color Android Development] faceman66:
I had a very similiar issue as well after my first CM7 update. I realized that I had applied that update though from the built it CWR recovery which isn't v3.0.0.5; and when I put the updates on my bootable ext4 SD card and applied them everything was fixed up.

Now there is a flashable zip to apply CWRv3.0.0.6 to the CM7 install so you don't have to use the bootable every time, i'll find the link for you. (here)
[Nook Color Android Development] spikey911:
Yes...

Worked great until I connected to an Adhoc at work....

Initially it connected to the Adhoc and all was well until it went to sleep.

After sleep, it disconnected and now shows poor signal strength even though it is a foot away from the network..

No matter what I do now, it will not connect to the network again, now its not even seeing normal networks that it has always seen.

I tried reboots, cold starts, forgetting networks, etc... It acts as though the WIFI is dead..

I think I will go back to stock now....It was fun experimenting...Will give it a little while to progress before I jump back in.
[Nook Color Android Development] mthe0ry:
Actually, that is a good point. I also had tried to connect to an AdHoc network during the day at work, and it was unsuccessful. It was about that time that I noticed my ability to detect access points went away. So it could be that attempting to connect to an AdHoc network causes the issue.

I will reinstall CM7 today with nightly 4 and see if that corrects the issue, and if I get a little more time experiement with connecting to AdHoc networks and see if that is in fact the cause of the issue.
[Nook Color Android Development] bonobomidwest:
I've not had any wifi problems. I've connected to my adhoc without any problems. You're not using the old eclair adhoc patch, right? Just checking the obvious.
[Nook Color Android Development] mthe0ry:
No, I didn't do any manual patching. the only other odd thing I did in terms of networking is I attempted to get reverse USB tethering to work (and I failed miserably). So that also could have killed it.
[Nook Color Android Development] spikey911:
I already have the number 4 nightly, and that is the one that I have the issue with.

I am at work now and the wifi on the Nook is completely dead, so I can't try anything until I get home after work..
[Nook Color Android Development] mthe0ry:
Right, I wasn't expecting Nightly 4 to fix the issue as much as a clean reinstall *should* fix the issue, when rebooting/turning off/on does not.
[Nook Color Android Development] Novarider:
My nc isn't sleeping with cm7. Is this a known issue or should I wipe then re flash to fix it?
[Nook Color Android Development] axe2:
This is a known issue. There's a "sleep-of-death" issue with the current kernel, which was preventing a release of CM7 for the Nook. It was finally decided that staying in a higher sleep state was acceptable to get an initial release out, and still provide "enough" battery life. The HC image has the same compromise.

See this thread for details:

Video problems, need "known good" file, test

Having a few video problems, as in MP4 video not playing at all, either in system player, or in RockPlayer. This is for both RC4 and build 36.

What I could use is a test that either shows that it works or not.

Is there a "known good" piece of video that I can download somewhere? And if so, what is best way to test if hardware accelerated video is actually working? As in, "use X player configured with Y settings".

That'd really help me troubleshoot things.

Any thoughts on how to get a bluetooth (or even wifi!)GPS signal into the nook from wither a WM6 device or Symbian device broadcasting it?
[Nook Color Android Development] MkFly:
Is the battery icon in the notification bar really blurry for anybody else?
[Nook Color Android Development] lafester:
gps... probably not although i have not tried. if your wm6 device can run android you can try gps tether (app in market).

wifi.. check into adhoc wifi connections. big thread on it here.
[Nook Color Android Development] JeremyNT:
You should be able to use the s60 device as a bt GPS for sure, I did this with my old n95. I believe the app was simply called Bluetooth GPS.
[Nook Color Android Development] antony617:
Sometimes my Wi-Fi just went out of service and can't detect any Wi-Fi spot suddenly... Every time I have to do a complete wipe to solve it...

Any thought on this issue? Is it a known issue or it's my own problem?:(

(the problem persists from Nightly 7 to 35)
[Nook Color Android Development] iolinux333:
Absolutely weird. I cannot make it work. It looks like it should work but it just isn't. I reflashed the nook with several versions of CM7, The devices see eachother, I can even tell that the GPS data blips into the nook for a milisecond, but it's just not working. I'm an old hand an GPS and all this stuff in general, heck I was using linux in 1998. If anyone should be able to make it work it should be me but I'm completely baffled.
[Nook Color Android Development] JeremyNT:
Keep in mind bluetooth range on the nook is horrible, make sure the devices are very close. Which apps are you using on the devices?
[Nook Color Android Development] DizzyDen:
One thing is... I believe you have to enable mock locations on the NC... I would make sure it is enabled in settings, and Bluetooth GPS.

From what I have been seeing... the VERY short range is when the NC is the one sending the data... seems its antenna array is not good... but once paired... it seems to receive data from other devices at a much longer range. Apps are Bluetooth GPS... Astro Bluetooth Mobile (for file transfers etc) Bluetooth File Transfer, etc.
[Nook Color Android Development] chisleu:
I find it has trouble receiving from my phone's GPS over bluetooth (over a couple feet)

I don't know how the comm works between the wiimote and host device, but it is very range limited when used with the nook.
[Nook Color Android Development] newellj79:
To my knowledge at its current development state NC has horrible bt range. I'm holding out hope that there will eventually be a software fix. I've heard it mentioned (can't confirm) that it may be do to lack of a appropriate attendance. Id be happy to break out my soldering iron with good documentation. :)
[Nook Color Android Development] iolinux333:
I'm using GPS4Blue on the WM6.1 Motorola A3100, and ExtGPS on the Nokia E71. Both latest versions. I've tried both Phiremod 5.2 and Phiremod 5.3 on the Nook. Both devices easily paired, however it always says "paired but not connected" -- from what I've read that should not matter. I'm aware of the range issue, I keep them touching each other. Mock locations is enabled, I'm aware of that too.

On the nook, I've tried Bluetooth GPS Provider, BluetoothGPSMouse, and two others that I can't remember right now. BluetoothGPSMouse seems to come closest to almost working, it sees either phone, it just never picks up any GPS data.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
It has been a while since I played with this, but I think you have to tell the NC that GPS is on, I know it does not have a GPS but map software is looking for that switch before allowing use..

Hope this helps.

=============

I use ThetherGPS (Lite)

and it works great I did have "Use GPS" on in Locations & Security
[Nook Color Android Development] pavlos46:
Ok I used Bluetooth GPS output on my android phone Galaxy 3, and Bluetooth GPS on the Nook, works just fine, gets good fix and tested maps and navdroid both worked great.

Even had wifi connected at the same time no prob.

Pavlos.
[Nook Color Android Development] JeremyNT:
Yeah, once paired you need to run something like Bluetooth GPS app on the nook and enable the mock provider therein.
[Nook Color Android Development] bedoig:
Been searching around and haven't found anything, so...

Is there any way to get the Gingerbread screen off animations working? Any info on the topic?
[Nook Color Android Development] dalingrin:
Not yet. There is a race condition that causes the device to not be able to wake back up after putting it to sleep. I've been able to work around this but the notification bar doesn't always redraw. I didn't get a chance to fix it so I've left the animation disabled for now.
[Nook Color Android Development] iolinux333:
Yes, I've done that in multiple different configurations, no luck. And to the poster above, yes plenty of people have managed to get GPS data out of their Android phone to the nook. I'm sure I could do that. I need to get it out of a WM6.1 or Symbian phone.
[Nook Color Android Development] kin869:
When I push the power button on my NC, sometimes the screen will gradually fade to black, other times it will start to fade but flash brightly before turning off. Is there a way to fix that?
[Nook Color Android Development] Rick_V:
I have been running RC 4 since it was first released, I flashed it over nightly #32. I like it but, would like to try some of the newer nightlies. Can I just flash over RC 4 or do I need to do a clean install?
[Nook Color Android Development] painter_:
Just flash over.
[Nook Color Android Development] tj!2k7:
That happens to me as well, thought I was the only one. I always thought it was something related to a possible hardware issue, but it sure would be sweet if there was a fix. =)
[Nook Color Android Development] MACLUIS1:
I'm on the last build (n36) and every morning I notice that my nook is On even if I give it a hard shotdown the previous night. Is this normal? or is some software making it boot up?.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Some program like mail or calendar have sent an alert and turned the screen on.

I set all programs alerts to none or off and it does not happen.
[Nook Color Android Development] MACLUIS1:
That's what I thought. But how can a program send an alert when the Nook is totally Off?. Unlesss the alert is sent before I turned off the Nook and somehow wakes it up.
[Nook Color Android Development] oldman_58:
Not sure what you mean by totally off, but if you shutdown then plug in the cable to charge the NC will start up.

To really be shut down press the power button select power off once off don't plug it back in.

If you just press the power button and turn off the screen the NC is not off and it is not "sleeping" it is simply screen off.
[Nook Color Android Development] kin869:
Good to know I'm not the only person with this problem, thought it was just my nook. I tried disabling the screen on/off animation but that doesn't seem to make a difference.
[Nook Color Android Development] MACLUIS1:
You are totally right!!!. Because now that I notice it only happens when I leave the Nook charging. I didn't know that charging it would turn it on. Thanks a lot.
[Nook Color Android Development] MACLUIS1:
The new nighly(37) has a new UI and I think a new kernel. Kind of like it. Tool bar on the bottom and extras bottoms.

Yep. Tablet Tweaks got merged. Awesome rom. Going to do a full wipe to the new nightly to try to figure out why tapatalk (and some other) market apps that are purchased are failing authentication...

That would be tablet tweaks. You can change the position of the buttons and the statusbar itself under Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Tablet Tweaks.
[Nook Color Android Development] RoboRay:
Now that I've figured out why my internally-flashed Clockwork recovery wasn't working and I don't need the bootable SD version anymore (thank you, xawen: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=958748) I attempted to use ROM Manager Premium to download the latest CM nightly, only to find that the RC is not listed under the Free section, nor are the nightlies listed under the Premium section. It does list GAPPS for download, but that's it. No big deal, as I'm used to downloading them manually. But...

Is RM actually not tracking Encore ROMs yet, or am I experiencing some kind of glitch?
