It's legit. I read that Google was going to push an update to anyone's phone who they determined had downloaded the malware. You can find info about it on the web. I read it on Drudge yesterday.
[myTouch 4G General] ronin178:
Have not received that but just saw a report about it on the news...
[myTouch 4G General] extraducksauce:
Legit. It was on Engaget.com.
[myTouch 4G General] ewells30:
What really cracks me up is they never have told me what item I downloaded from the Market that has an exploit. It probably was that damn Kongergate app. I knew that damn bunny on those commercials had a sinister plot!!!!

Hello XDA, this is my first post, as searching has answered all my questions until now.

I installed cm07 builds 13 and 14 several times over the last two days and can't seem to get flashplayer to work. I uninstalled and reinstalled it several times. I've gone as far as to completely formatting my internals before reinstalling and nothing is working. I'm currently running cm07 build 14 with dalingrin's kernal. I appreciate any help.
[Nook Color General] radrobe:
Anybody? Please.....
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
Im still running Nightly 8 but as Far as I know Flash is working perfectly for CM7 on all builds of it.

What are you trying to do? what website are you going to and what browser are you using?
[Nook Color General] sp1kez:
I had same problem

Used root explorer, set data/app to rw and renamed flash.apk to flash.apk.bak

Rebooted, downloaded flash from market

It works now
[Nook Color General] radrobe:
Thanks for the responses.

I just tried renaming rebooting and downloading and it didn't help.

When I go to www YouTube com and click on a video, I always get the same error message: cannot play video. It does it on both HQ and standard video.

Not sure what else it can be other than flashplayer. It used to work fine on Nookie Froyo ...
[Nook Color General] radrobe:
Any other ideas?
[Nook Color General] xeren:
I was under the impression that flash not working on CM7 was a known issue that they were working on. I would imagine it will be fixed in a matter of days.
[Nook Color General] radrobe:
Not from everything I've read. Flash is supposed to work and apps like YouTube are are the ones they are working on.
[Nook Color General] harrijs:
Flash works in browser only. My experience is that it is a little choppy for video though.
[Nook Color General] radrobe:
That's the issue....its NOT working in my browser.
[Nook Color General] Rylynmila:
Download dolphin HD and then download desktop toggles for dolphin enable desktop mode then go to YouTube.
[Nook Color General] radrobe:
Ok, I'm a newb. I changed YouTube to desktop setting and it worked. Hopefully someone can learn from my newbness! Thanks for the help Ry!
[Nook Color General] ADude:
I used Browser, went to www.youtube.com and it automatically changed it to mobile. Finally, I found a setting marked Desktop and the result was typeface that required an electron microscope to read (even zooming did not help much).

I found a video and the result was "You need to install Flash 10.1" and a link to do which required the world's smallest finger not to click on the ad right below.

Finally got it installed and Flash works in Youtube Desktop in Browser, but video still does not work in Youtube Android App :confused:
[Nook Color General] lafester:
you got it. youtube app does not work with cm7 yet because they do not have hardware video acceleration working. I think this is posted at least 1000 times :)

an easier way to get flash is to download it from the market.

Hi.

Has anybody had a root around with the Navionics chart app?

I am generally quite impressed,but have a question / challenge.....

Does anybody know where the wind data is downloaded to and read from?

I think the data is a GRIB file from NOAA. If is, I was wondering of I could download other, bettet, GRIBS and read those instead?

Cheers,

John
[Defy Themes and Apps] Whippler:
it adds wind direction arrows on the map, tough they are really hard to see. tapping arrows will give speed and direction info.

I'm running this on Desire Z. GPS seems to have serious issues whit this app. just cant locate me :/ Google maps works fine whit gps.. or is it that this doesn't use phone towers for added accuracy and google maps uses?
[Nook Color General] Cstanner17:
Yesterday, I took a trip down to B&N to get a new charger since I'm still under warranty. (This is my second NC charger btw) The end that plugs into the nook just comes loose and wobbles up and down. This has happened both times (Don't know if it's just me or what).

The first time I went in, I just had to prove that I had a NC and I got my charger for free and it was as easy as that.

The second time however, the guy at B&N was a total prick. He had to look up my serial number and this and that, and he said the only way to find it was within the software (to identify that i bought it from B&N since best buy and walmart now sell it).

So I was a bit worried (I'm running Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 haha).

So the guy just kept my nook on the charge til we could boot it up to "find the serial".

Once it was booted up, this guy was just blown away. He was so impressed by the custom rom and the fact that I was just running A2.2 that his whole attitude changed.

After that it was like "wow man, you really know your stuff" "that's so cool!" "Let me see what I can do about a charger for you!" and so on.

In the end I got 2 new chargers. 1 In the mail from B&N customer service, and one in store once they get their shipment.

Moral of the story, The whole "Warranty is void" stuff doesn't really matter if the guy at B&N thinks you have an awesome device.

Oh, and for future reference for those of you who don't know, you can locate the serial number within the Micro SD Card slot. (as long as you have that, then you have a warranty)
[Nook Color General] oldweasel:
Glad you had a good experience, my wife had the total opposite.

Same issue, my thoughts are that the mini-USB charging port that they use is longer than a "standard" plug port, thus the leverage issues causing the connector to easily bend out of whack.

Anywho, so my wife takes in the non-recharging nook and cord, and I had put the stock image back on but didn't know that I needed to do the 9-reboot system image refresh, so there were still some rooted elements on the phone.

Worker drills down into the "extras" menu and sees the rooted apps still on the device, then proceeds to berate (with a manager standing behind her!) my wife on how rooting the nook voided the warranty and how what she was tired of "people tampering with their machine and then asking us to fix everything" for 5 minutes in a voice loud enough for half the store to hear.

Needless to say my wife (a non-techie) was extremely embarassed and upset. She at least had the presence of mind to ask the employee to try out the cord on one of the store nooks and (surprise surprise!!) it didn't work!

Since the nook wasn't the issue the store replaced the cord (wonder if this is a recall-worthy issue?) and my wife left. I have since sent a letter to the regional manager expressing my disappointment at how she was treated, but wanted to give a word of warning that if you suspect the cord just take the cord itself into the store and ask them to try it on one of their in-store devices rather than have to deal with irate and rude salespeople for an unrelated issue.
[Nook Color General] Cstanner17:
Oh man, that is EXACTLY what i was afraid of.

That really sucks that your wife had to go through that. I can only imagine how my girlfriend would have handled that. (and me when she got home :| ) haha.

The guy i talked to at B&N said that he even wanted me to show his supervisor and that she had wanted 2.2 on her NC as well.

I even left my contact info for them to reach me if they ever wanted me to do so for their nooks.

I'm just glad it went over so well because it's not likely to happen most of the time.

And I think you're totally right about the length of the charger. It IS too long and it makes it easy to bend to become lose and break!
[Nook Color General] -RioT-:
That's a great story. I'm glad it all worked out.

I had to return my nexus one and it had an unlocked boot loader. People say a lot about "warranty" without actually reading it. And a lot of haters will tell you its void cause they never took that step.

Most of the time if the problem has nothing to do with rooting or if it's a hardware problem you're good

This never happens to me or my wife :(. I have a talent for embarrassing purple in public. One I almost never get to use since I believe people shouldn't be treated that way. I would have probably taken a trip down there to chat with them. Good job on the letter and keeping your cool. This was all done In front of the manager? And what is their machine? It wasnt "ours" on the receipt....
[Nook Color General] oldweasel:
One thing I noticed over the weekend on a car trip - it seems that the charger from my droid works just fine on my Nook (though not vice-versa due to the prong length), so if they give you warranty hassles you might have a cord lying around to use as a backup.
[Nook Color General] OminousJune:
My charger is doing the same thing. I have had my nc since saturday, the plug was already bent slightly. I thought ok, it must be that way on purpose until sitting with it charging and my hand bent it back the right way. Recall sounds about appropriate. I think if it gives up. I will pay the 25 bucks to avoid such cases... you never know how they are going to react to the warranty/rooted thing.

I did have a similar scare with my phone. It was severly tweaked. The screen went wacky and when i called to get an insurance replacement, they sent a warranty replacement instead. Needless to say i was never so glad that they acidentally sent the replacemet to california rather than colorado. In the extra trip time, my phone died completely and i still haven't been charged for the warranty/rooting issue

Whew...

Moral is, I have had my NC for less than a week and may need a new charger soon...

[Nook Color General] Nburnes:
A standard Micro USB charges the Nook just fine, just takes a little bit longer then the Nook cable. I keep the nook one by my bed, and just use the cable that came with my Samsung Moment for my desktop/laptop.
[Nook Color General] -RioT-:
Does the standard cable have the neat glowy bit? Though I agree its a good substitute when you need a new one. They should fix their **** and not use our rooting as an excuse.
[Nook Color General] neidlinger:
Yea i do the same. I bought some cheapos from Monoprice.com and they work excellent.

and for those of you that have not heard of monoprice. I ordered 4 10 foot gold plated connectors, w/ ferret magnet HDMI cables, and 4 10 foot Micro USB cables for 30bucks shipped.

Shameless plug but saving money is good.

I'm telling you right now if i need to replace my USB cable i'm walking w/ an old one and walking out with a new one. The USB cable has nothing to do with the rooting process. nor the rooted device. It's completely a defective part regardless of the condition of the device.
[Nook Color General] amstarshine:
Nothing like lousy customer service to upset your customer base. When you receive lousy service you're more likely to talk about it with family and friends then you are if you receive good service. That's not to mention the fact that your spending money in their store/place of service is what pays their salary.

Good for you for writing to the regional manager and calling the employee and manager out on their lousy service.
[Nook Color General] -RioT-:
lol so true. Look ad this thread for example. It was actually about a god experience but one bad employee (and a bad manager) set off a chain of ugly.
[Nook Color General] Deleted member 3767071:
For some reason these types of employees have this mindset that they are helping the company's bottom line by pulling this kind of stuff when it comes to returns, exchanges, warranty. In reality...this kind of treatment is exactly why people start boycotting stores and taking their business elsewhere.

Like they say...don't bite the hand that feeds you.
[Nook Color General] lafester:
come on guys just read all the threads on here about people returning their 'broken' nooks to b&n after they screwed them up.

obviously this person had too many bad experiences and took it out on someone they shouldn't have.

just try to think about what these people have to deal with every day before you get all judgmental.
[Nook Color General] Deleted member 3767071:
When you work in customer service you can't go all ape**** on someone just because you had a bad day. That's just not a valid excuse. Either you give them what they want or you deny them in a courteous and respectful manner. If they don't accept your answer that's what your manager is there for. In this particular scenario, it sounds like the manager was already there. But regardless...you should never put yourself in a position where the customer can say that you were treating them poorly. Even if you were correct in your assessment of the situation, things can still go bad for you.

If you can't keep your cool, you probably don't want to have a job where you have direct interaction with customers.
[Nook Color General] amstarshine:
My job is nothing but customer service all day. Do I deal with people who drive me nuts and try to advantage of me? Of course! But that doesn't mean I let them know that. There are professional ways to handle those types of situations and then there are the ways that get your company talked about in a negative manner on forums such as this.

I'm not judging. I have over 20 years of customer service experience. I know what good service is and what it means. It's what keeps people coming back to the place you work. It's what pays your salary at the end of the day. That and honesty.

Let's be honest here...do you keep going back to places of business where you get lousy service time after time after time? Most people don't.
[Xoom General] pecosROB:
So I have a black MacBook bought in June 2008. The only thing that sucks about it is the battery - it used to be great but now it lasts about 2-2.5 hours per charge.

It has a core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processor, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB hdd. What do you guys think I could get for it? I'm thinking (more like hoping) at least $500, it would be nice to use some of it to pay towards the cost of the Xoom (did the no interest thing but plan on paying it off within 6 months).

My only issue - it seems like no one has any clue when the SD card will be activated/unlocked. I don't have a way to get my photos from my DSLR to the Xoom (if I'm traveling for example, that way I can upload them, delete photos, and pop it back in the camera).

I've thought of a couple solutions:

1. Eye-fi SD card in the camera and transfer over wifi (but this could take forever because the pics are huge, and I won't be able to quickly clear out my card if it runs out of space if I'm outdoors in the middle of nowhere without a wifi connection and only 3GB of Verizon data a month)

2. MicroSD card in the camera with an adapter, then pop out the microSD card and put it in the Xoom when it's available to use.

Anyone know if there is even a USB card reader that connects via microSD and if Android 3.0 will even recognize it? I doubt it since it doesn't recognize microSD cards anyway soooo... if anyone has some suggestions I'm all ears.

The reason I want to do this now is I can probably get more money for my laptop now than I would in a month or two (or closer to the end of the year).

I am running the latest version of TNT Lite, which I believe is 4.1, but I don't have Clockwork Mod installed. Can someone please help me with instruction on how to flash this back to it's original state (rom/firmware), and does anyone have the original rom/firmware that they can send me? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Hi All,

I have Samsung Galaxy 3(I5801). I have upgraded to custom rom froyo JPF . Most of the times my voice does not reach the other end of the call (either I make a call or I receive a call). My voice is heard if a put a headphone. Even I am able to record my voice with the voice recorder. So I think there is no hardware problem.

If I shutdown the phone and start it, the problem is resolved. But I get the same problem after some time.

I started seeing this issue, when I first rooted my device with the factory eclair rom (DDJ6).

My phone is rooted. I have seen this problem in froyo custom roms - JP9 till JPF. I tried all the roms, but I have faced this issue.

Can any one have faced this problem. Can any one please help me in this.

Thanks

[Galaxy 3 General] Humpie:
Have you tried a hard reset?
[Galaxy 3 General] numansiddique:
Hi,

Yes I have tried that, but in vain. I will give it a try once again and use it without rooting for some time.

What I have observed is, I see this problem when i root the device.

Does any one think, rooting might be causing this issue.

Thanks

I have a rooted hero but when i turn it off and go to turn it on holding power and home i get a picture of a phone with a red triangle with a "!" in it does this mean im not rooted even though i can use wireless tether and other root apps. Am aldo wondering if someone could point me to a fast android 2.3 custom rom that would look nice :) thanks

You need a custom recovery image download rom manager and flash the clockworkmod that way
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coxykidd:
I have done that, pressed the power and home button did a back up and rebooted the phone. Just to nake sure its working i pressed the home and power buttons again and got the red triangle screen again :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slymike:
Have another go at pushing the recovery image to your phone and try again.

Elelinux 7.0.0 is a nice GB rom... tweak the cpu speed n it will run fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coxykidd:
I have tried that, same problem one back up then doesnt work :(

Is there annother way to put recovery one it ?

Thanks for that rom tho looks nice when it works gonna give it a bash :)

Try pressing up volume and power or down volume and power because I don't remember which on because I think that how to get off the screen with the triangle
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coxykidd:
Got a menu that says apply sd card update.zip

What does that mean ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slymike:
If thats the only option on the screen, maybe your recovery image is corrupt, your using clockwork right?

I use AmonRA recovery, follow the 'root and recovery' section of this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=645253

Its easier than it sounds, You cant use Rom manager with this recovery image tho, you will have to download your roms manually and put them in the root folder of your SD card. (roms and updates come as a zip file)

Follow the instructions for the roms you want to flash, each has slightly different prerequisites i.e wiping different parts of your phones memory.

take care, have fun...

[Xoom General] mattdb:
I have been on the fence for this ever since it has been out. I have been to bestbuy and verizon to test out the demo units multiple times and both units seem to have the same issue.

When I open some apps, say dolphin hd for example, I can see screen artifacts for a second. Like colored dashes of varying lengths, and this seems to happen often.

Second, when I am trying to pinch and zoom or scroll in Dolphin, it jerky and spastic, there was one other app that did this as well but I can remember which one. The scrolling on the stock browser seems ok but not the best.

Anyway, do any of you see this? More than likely a software fix, but hey, you never know.

And a rant, who on earth thought of that flimsy power adapter, good grief, they were both broken and the two stores when I first went to look but have since been replaced. And the power button? I have to turn it over to find it.....

Rant off and hoping to fall of the fence.....
