[Nook Color General] eNkrypt:
I noticed that my nook USB cord doesn't fit my Motorola Droid 1, however, my Motorola Droid 1 Phone charger fits my nook :\

Anyone else confirm this?

Also, when plugging in the nook I get no indication that it is actually charging, is this suppose to happen?

EDIT: It appears that it doesn't charge when I plug it into my computer, if it is, it is super slow and doesn't display that it is charging. However, when I plug it into the wall with an A/C USB adapter it shows the charging icon.
[Nook Color General] fingerman12:
from what I got, The nook charger has 6 more pins making it faster, but not compatible with other devices, but the nook itself can get a normal charger and it will be fine just slower.
[Nook Color General] Midnitte:
Except the 6 pins (or w/e num) are added on top of the existing ones, so unlike say a headphone jack with an extra layer for using a microphone, its not backwards compatible (atleast not without an adapter) for normal ones (like my headphones example), rather troublesome imo.

But the power converter works fine for phones.
[Nook Color General] britoso:
Thanks makes sense.

Just tried it and it works fine on my phone too. Has to use a generic micro usb cable though. The nook one did not work.
[Nook Color General] E_man5112:
I wonder if the reason the nook color cable doesn't work with other devices is due to the charging light built into the cable. I'll try charging it from a non-nook cable to see. If it charges fine either way, I'll be able to cut it down to 1 charger 1 cable. Would be far more convenient.

Has anyone else noticed a slower charge on non-nook cables? If it really does have more pins, that would be a dissapointment. The cable is so short, I'd probably have replaced it anyway.
[Nook Color General] minotauri:
the nook color charger connector is shaped slightly different -- its longer --, so it wont fit properly into other devices that use standard microusb.
[Nook Color General] JDMpire:
Is there supposed to be some kind of notification when the unit is off, that it is charging properly. I bought my nook color used and it didn't come with its official charger. I have a bunch of standard (low amperage) USB chargers and 1 iPad type (2amp) charger. I tried the iPad one and the unit gave a "Not charging" message in the settings screen.

How long does it take to charge when using a 3rd party charger?
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Do not resurrect dead threads, they will turn into zombies and eat your brains.

How long does a non-BN charger AND Cable take? Four times longer. It's .5A vs 1.9A. You can get by with a 2A charger, but you must have the B&N cable to charge at the 1.9A rate.

Hello

After looking through the GB rom, the wifi, bt etc. icons in notification aren't where they are.

This got me looking in system/app. There is a new apk called "SystemUI.apk".

This is where the new files take priority over twframework-res.apk. The files in there include stat_ icons and signal icons.

This way of theming is similar to vanilla roms.

Here is the following files

Hope this helped

Cheers
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] snapper.fishes:
Oh that's just great. This means all the old themes won't work on 2.3.

But thanks anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] racerboy3801:
Yes

It means you have the copy the files over to systemui.apk.

Easily done mate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] pele78:
Good find and priceless info Racer mate :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] brittosa:
Thanks a ton for sharing this info.

Does this mean we'll now have to tag SystemUI.apk in apktool instead of twframework-res.apk?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] racerboy3801:
i think there are still files which tw has, but look in the picture to see really what is taken care of in the apk
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] antonda:
thanks racerboy3801
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] shawn_pro:
Freaks no wonder whenever i used to remove the systemui.apk i would not get a notification bar at all. Thanks for your findings Racer. Really appreciate.

Egearly waiting for new gb roms
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julien.me:
Hi all,

I own a Desire GSM version and been running a pre-rooted stock ROM for quite a while and have been very happy with it. I have been running this with an ext3 partition and ran app2sd+ script to make use of it. All good.

My sense of curiosity got stronger and always wanted to try a custom ROM so I tried Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 on Monday.

I have been running the latest Radio (32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27) so didn’t have to update that for CM7.

I formatted the DATA as well as the CACHE before flashing the CM7 ROM, then applied GAPPS to the ROM then restarted the phone.

All went OK and I loved this new ROM, except that I have been experiencing very strange connection issues whether I am on WiFi or 3G (Vodafone AU). The phone will establish connection; however sometimes will not be able to get data out of a request as simple as getting emails, opening a webpage through the stock browser etc …

The workaround to that was to tun off wifi and turn it back on, same for 3G … :(

I re-flashed numerous times the ROM (formatting the CACHE/DATA each times) but was still experiencing these issues, when sometimes I couldn’t even set my Google account at the first start of the phone…

After a couple of days of scratching my head I did find a potential solution that was suggesting updating the /system/lib/libhtc_ril.so file with the one provided in the nightly build. This had no effect what so ever to the situation.

I then decided to go back to FroYo (:() so re-flashed the pre-rooted ROM, but then I experienced the exact same issue!! I then re-flashed the Radio ROM thinking this may have been affected by all these changes but no changes at all …

I am a bit at a loss here and don’t know how to fix that really …

Is there any setting that resides on the phone relating to Radio ROM even if I format both Data and Cache each time I flash the ROM??

Thanks for your help guys.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julien.me:
Any ideas on this issue at all ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fueled:
If I was to sell my phone and the Guy buying it forces me to not doing a factory reset, but I want to delete all my Facebook and Gmail and market info etc etc.

How should I do it?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XlAfbk:
how could the buyer force you to do anything? do a factory reset and be done
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
That's just silly. No one can force you to not do a factory reset.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
How would he know

factory reset then just mess with the phone and download the odd app .

Hello everyone, my provider is sending me an iPhone 4. Which I'm not sure to keep or not. But I had very bad experience with apple before thier 3gs and would never buy. So if I sell the iphone 4 should I get captivate? Cause I love android alot. Or what you guys would do if you were in my situation please share and help me. Thanks
[Captivate General] UberGoat:
I would buy either a Samsung Captivate or the newer Motorola Atrix 4G. I think both are great.
[Captivate General] bay_wolf:
I'd vote for the captivate especially with CM7 getting closer to a stable release but I'm kind of biased toward Android now that I actually own a device with it (had an iPhone before it).
[Captivate General] xwiljar:
CAPTIVATE CAPTIVATE CAPTIVATE!!!!!!!! I was foolish once and truly believed in the iPhone. But it is sooooooooo not worth it. Being left-handed, I didn't have the same issues, as the media publicized, with losing signal and such. The biggest mistake that they made was switching to the treated glass. When you hold the phone to your face, the iPhone has a temp sensor that tells the screen to turn off. With the treated glass in the iP4, it doesn't dissipate heat at all. So lots of calls get put on hold and buttons are pushed. It's rather annoying when it happens all the time and on every single call.

Then there are all the dropped calls that Apple says is AT&T's fault. My Cappy doesn't drop anything. iP4 drops everything and heaven forbid if the phone is switching from edge to 3g and you on a call.

So again I say..........

CAPTIVATE CAPTIVATE CAPTIVATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
My coworker has an iPhone 4 I have the captivate. He is bored 4 months in and I am a crazy rom junky. It depends on what you want. If you want the same experience day in day out for the next two years, the iPhone. If you want customization the captivate
[Captivate General] icepop:
To be honest, having used both, the answer is neither. The Atrix is the real choice, in my opinion.
[Captivate General] maxjivi05:
I wouldn't touch another iPhone nor would I jump on atrix till the bootloader is unlocked. Now the cappy or inspire which I'd grab the inspire of you had to have one right now, its already hacked and awesome
[Captivate General] TheShamsMan:
I would never go back to using an iPhone. NEVER I SAY!
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
If you are a tech noob get the iphone. My mom has it and loves it, i would kill myself if I had. I love my captivate and can not go anywhere without it. Taking it to kenya in a couple of hours
[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
Captivate > iPhone.

Its like total freedom vs. total lockdown... Its a pretty easy choice; Unless you like making the hippies at Apple richer.
[Captivate General] DimSumGuy83:
I can tell you that if you were choosing between the Captivate and iPhone 4, go with the Captivate. I've had a rooted Captivate for a couple weeks (using official Froyo 2.2) and I also jailbroke my cousin's iPhone 4 and can tell you that the Captivate is much, I repeat, MUCH easier to customize for your personal tastes.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
Go for the Captivate or the Atrix (Atrix is good if u r not really bothered abt flashing a custom ROM).
[Captivate General] bigsmitty64:
Browse through a few of the 1800+ posts on THIS thread and see all that you can do with this phone and then look at 1 iPhone4. It'll never change :D

Not to mention having to sync with iTunes, thats a whole different nightmare. The thing I love about the Captivate is the ability to drag and drop music and pics and video files from the pc and not having to sync anything.
[Captivate General] dallasweb:
First off, let me say that I think Steve Jobs is a kook. No Flash on his device, means no iSheep device for me. I'm a web developer and to exclude a hugely viable platform like Flash is absurd.

Captivate has been a fun phone so far...only because of the development community that cooks these sweet ROM's!!! If I couldn't flash new roms when I want...might as well buy iCrap.

2c
[Captivate General] shiftylock:
Well, the iPhone 4 is nice... but not as nice as windows phone 7. Just saying. I had an iphone 4 and my lg quantum does equally as much. I use android and WP7 though, and I switch out when I get sick of the other. Personally I believe the iphone to be a second generation device. It's like asking att to sell you a razr lol... I would go for the captivate. It's easy to customize, and they have some pretty sweet cases for it, if you're afraid of it breaking.
[Captivate General] bravomail:
apps vs freedom

iPhone still has better apps and games selection.

Jailbreak suggested, as well as carrier unlock, with prospect of Apple blocking them.

No microSD slot.

Will die within a year or two due to irreplaceable battery.

Now for Captivate - crappy GPS depending on your luck (works for me), the battery is replaceable and upgradeable, carrier unlocked/rooted with custom ROMs, lots of development activities, world 3G phone, microSD slot, better reception, better noise suppression with Audience chip.
[Captivate General] melvinaury:
Captivate all the time. This happen to me almost all weeks, when some one with IPhone4 see my Captivate. They said what an awesome screen and you can change the ROM like clothes. LOL I said Iphone to the trash
[Captivate General] lyrad12:
for simplicity, choose ios, more on customization, choose any android smartphones.
[Captivate General] rockingx10:
Is captivate build better than galaxy s? And how hard is it to flash a rom? Not interested in motorola cause they suck with updates. And bootloader locked so either ill get captivate now or wait for sgs2 but have to sell the stupid iphone 4 first when I receive it.
[Captivate General] Dubgray:
I like my Captivate. That Retina display on the I-phone is amazing though.
[Captivate General] JPS81:
Yeah I wish the Atrix had a better screen. I'm really glad they're finally stepping up the resolution, but the Atrix screen overall just doesn't look as nice as our screens or the iPhone4's screen, even with its nice resolution.
[Captivate General] bbto:
my girl friend got iphone4 and i got captivate at the same day.

i can say if just play with stock setting iphone4 will be better. smooth and fast.

but with custom ROM and kernel captivate is better. but little better.

because both devices have 512MB ram, but my gf's iphone can easily have 3xxmb free ram.

but my captivate start up with 338MB, so there is 1xx missing. then background app will use 1xx, when all start up process finish i got 170mb left,

but then few mins later, some app run itself in background....like Google map use 8mb, google messaging service 8mb, finally i only got 9xmb ram left.and most background app i rarely use, i never use google map. i dun even know what app is run the google messaging serive, i dun use google talk.

the best thing but android customization!! I do make it what i want it to be. but iphone...you need to wait for JB to do it.

there is good and bad for both device. But i still love my captivate!!
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Samsung Galaxy S 2.

Avoid the Atrix and it's locked bootloader, capped data speeds, and overpriced accessories.
[Captivate General] donharden2002:
I've had both and they both have their advantages. The iphone display is awesome. The iphone camera is also way better. But like was said, it's a boring phone after awhile.

I bought my wife a captivate and after playing with hers I traded my iphone for one. I fell in love with android.

My opinion try it out if all you need is a phone and mini pocket pc. If your a rom flashing addict our get bored easily go for a captivate. U just ordered an inspire 4g because I did something very stupid with my cappy. I hope I don't wish I had bought another captivate.
[Captivate General] d34thp1ng:
Comparing the Cappy to IP4 is like comparing buying a house and renting

CAPPY = Buying house, dont like the wall in the living room, knock it down and put in a bar, paint the house, fence the back yard, get 3 big dogs and tear out the carpet

Iphone 4 = renting, live by apples rules, sure you can jailbreak, but that is about the extent.

Just my 2c
[Captivate General] rockingx10:
What's the difference between galaxy s 1900 and captivate? Are they both still have nice screen?
[Captivate General] roadrash7:
Sell the iphone 4 for 600-800 bucks cause 75% of the world is freaking brainwashed into thinking iphones are the best phones its insane. I just bought one to sell it and made some money. Its amazing how people are obsessed with it.

After playing with it quite a bit I found out that the screen wont even auto rotate like anywhere and when you need to type and it doesn't go into landscape you wanna throw it at the wall. The only thing that was nice was the higher resolution display. The picture quality might have a slight edge over the captivate but the captivate has way more options. The iphone is a finger print magnet and makes it ugly and disgusting. In all my speed tests the captivate was faster too. Like everyone said its gets boring real fast. And yeah there's more games for it but it sucks to game on compared to captivate
[Captivate General] Sqb:
Galaxy s2!!! That thing killed with 3d graphics. I just hope the devs go to work on it like they did the caps. Awesome work by the way guys!

[Captivate General] cavsoldier19d:
My 2 cents...

Like most people say, its all about what you want and are looking for in a phone. If you want the phone to turn on and just work and are all about games, get the iphone. If you want the ability to customize and tweak your phone, and at the same time, have the same functionality equally if not greater than the iphone, get the captivate. For those who are suggesting to get the atrix...fyi...if you browse to the HTC inspire threads, there are an overwhelming amount of people who bought the Atrix, who ended up returning it for the Inspire. They are both close in specs, with the Atrix taking the lead. But the Atrix has a smaller screen with motoblur UI which most pple don't like, a front facing camera which such a low resolution, its not even worth it, and has a locked down bootloader. Whereas the Inspire has a larger screen, has the Sense UI, and does not have a locked down bootloader and already has custom roms out. Food for thought...
[Captivate General] QuarkGluonSoup:
Given the fact that you are posting on a developer message board, I am guessing you would find the iPhone boring. The iPhone is good if you want a smart phone with limited practical use beyond calls, maps, email and internet. The captivate more a small computer with call capabilities that can do far more than the iPhone. I used to have an iPhone (3gs) and I jailbroke it. It wasn't fun at all and I wouldn't do it again if I had the misfortune of ending up with another iPhone. You can't do much with a jail broken iPhone so if you are a hobbyist/nerd type you will be far happier with the captivate.

Plus the Super AMOLED screen blows the iPhone 4's screen out of the watter. The iPhone has better resolution, which only matters if you look at the screen reallly closely at the pixel level. I prefer the iPhone 3gs screen to the iPhone 4 because at some point the higher resolution starts to feel less smooth. The contrast because of the Super AMOLED is vastly superior to the higher iPhone resolution. You just get a much more beautiful image.
[Captivate General] QuarkGluonSoup:
This must be the worst thing about then Atrix, and enough reason alone not to get it: the encrypted bootloader. All bootloaders are locked, unless they are rooted. Encryption makes it very difficult to genuinely unlock the bootloader, and while the community has managed to do something like unlock it, it isn't truly unlocked and it is difficult to say what rom limitations this might create.
[Captivate General] QuarkGluonSoup:
Plus nothing beats the Super AMOLED captivate screen.

Am I the only one who doesn't care for the iPhone 4's retina display? It's improvement over the 3Gs is barely noticeable but it doesn't seem as smooth for some reason. It doesn't give me a headache but I feel if I was susceptible to them it might. Ultimately though it is an LCD, unlike the Super AMOLED.
[Captivate General] QuarkGluonSoup:
Captivate is one of the Galaxy S phones. Other carriers in America have Galaxy S phones that are slightly different with different names (Fascinate, Epic, Vibrant) and internationally they are all called just "Galaxy S". There is a minor difference between American Galaxy S and international Galaxy is. All Galaxy S phones, other than captivate, are I9000. Captivate is I897. The difference has to do with the way in which the kernel does some processing. I think it is a logic board difference or some other small hardware change. As such, if you flash a "Galaxy S" kernel you have to make sure it is compatible with I897, otherwise your phone won't work right.

[Captivate General] jc2470:
U guys keep pushing towards captivate, Lets be honest Iphone 4 has a better display, had it got rid of it, but definately a better display then the greenish blue samsung. Now onto the other issue as far as captivate goes why would u want a captivate with a speedy snappy sweet lookig quality feel of a htc inspire? I have ran many benchmark test on my inspire and it always dogs all the competition, 2 of my brothers got rid of theres for inspire and both said same thing this phone Im happy with captivate never was really. 1 of my other brothers still has a captivate new one actually about 2 months old, I ran benchmarks on it numerous times last night side by side with mine both stock, and all mine were 1900+ over 2k even and his was lucky to break 1000, my inspire boots faster none of that lag scanning for media or whatnot, i can disconnect from computer no lag, there isnt any lag with anything, and say what you will but even with lag fixes at the end of the day it is still a laggy phone compared to inspire. Watch a video of the 2 phones side by side and it is crazy how uncomplete the captivate looks compared to the inspire. every captivate owner convert to inspire will tell u same thing, god forbid u run a overclocked kernal on inspire people are posting 3400 and 3500 3600 quad scores. Say they dont mean nothing but a benchmark is a benchmark it test the phones ability to process. I can load programs faster then any captivate and run them better.

While the root method isnt as straight forward with captivate, make gold card and 1 click root, there is a much bigger rom selection, because disire hd is same phone as inspire.

My advice go get inspire try it out for a couple days, then go get captivate try it out for a couple days then go get atrix. Im pretty sure you will be much happier with inspire in the end.
[Captivate General] Klyentel:
I'm an Inspire fan too!:D. Most likely will be next upgrade in November, that is... if nobody hasn't unlocked the bootloader on the Atrix by then.

But the topic at hand is comparison between Iphone 4 and Captivate.

My vote = Captivate. Hands down, no explanation needed.

But I will give Iphone their credit for better games, display, and already installed FFC camera. If any of those attributes deem to be more of importance than customization, then hey go for the Iphone, whatever. I personally just love Android software regardless of the phone running it. :cool:
[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
great analogy!
[Captivate General] Nelimungous:
I am going to have to agree! My CAPPY is my OWN... I have a few friends that have jailbroken their iPhones and they almost always screw up at some point. One is on his third iPhone, he jailbroke too many times.

My CAPPY...rooted, upgraded, not ROMed at this point, I can show my android device on my PC via wifi to demo apps for work, I can tether, I can sync with outlook, I get my work email just a fast as I did with my old BlackBerry, I could go on.

Almost every person that has looked at my phone/display likes it better than the iPhone screen. These are iPhone users. Truth.
