Damn, after reading all the responses, I'm guessing I got lucky! I bought one of the $199 Nooks (though very early in the promotion, during the two hour eBay "daily deal" on the 28th) and after reflashing to CM7 have been super happy with it. This has replaced all of the desire I had to buy a full-fledged tablet. Data and GPS are tethered to my phone, only thing missing is Bluetooth, and sounds like that is just around the corner.

Screen responsiveness has been kind of laggy or bad in the corners of the screen, but from what I read, this has been a common problem since they started shipping in November.

I wonder if it makes any difference, mine was shipped directly from B&N in a B&N box, not shipped and sold by eBay. Or is that how everybody's arrived?
[Nook Color General] duglas:
I bought mine for $199 and have had no issues with it.. Put Honeycomb on it within a hour of getting it..

I actually love it more than my $650 Notion Ink tablet and Viewsonic Gtab..

Or come back another day or hit up another store.

It's not hard when dealing with returns, just dont be wishy-washy. Remain consistent and you'll be fine. Most the employees are on minimum wage and don't really care.

Heck, my Kindle warranty didn't cover breakage but they replaced it when I sat on it because "It just stopped working!"

[HTC Inspire 4G] dgrooman:
I've had my inspire for a few weeks now and am very happy with it after I rooted and installed afr003. However, my battery life is terrible. From reading other forums it seems this is a common issue. If I disable background data and turn off auto sync the battery life is acceptable. But in that configuration I don't seem to get emails, the weather doesn't update, and the Facebook app doesn't update (the main things I look at regularly). When auto sync is on the refresh symbol is constantly present in the upper tool bar, which I'm not sure is common or not. With background data and auto sync enabled I seem to lose 1% of battery every 2-4 minutes. If anyone can help me make my battery last at least 10 hrs while still being able to get email and weather updates I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] jdk2:
Are you syncing friend streams, Facebook or news? And how often are they set to sync. This would have a huge impact on battery life. If the phone has to keep going to the network to sync,it's bound to use up the battery faster.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dgrooman:
As of now I'm only syncing my Google account and the weather. I disable the HTC sense sync and that seems to have helped the battery life some. Exactly what does HTC sense sync anyway?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jdk2:
It appears that your text messages, wallpapers and a slew of other things not clearly defined. It really soaks up the battery during the sync process, but seems to settle down once it's completed. I removed the account and don't have any further issues with the battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] synnyster:
Sense lets you ring your phone remotely from the site and locate it. It also allows you to lock it remotely or forward calls. The sense site is very buggy and those features only work some of the times. I decided to remove my sense account from my phone.

By the way, are you guys heavy users? My battery life seems pretty good and I'm rooted and OCed at 1.229Ghz. I went to bed with my phone around 70% battery and when I went to bed the next day with normal usage, it was around 26%. I can do heavy usage and still get through the day without charging.

I only have my gmail, calendar, and contacts being auto synced. I have weather synced every 3 hours as well via a widget.
[A7 General] gbullers:
I found a calendar that works, but when I reboot it goes back to the one in the mod that don't open. I assume I need to replace the calendar.apk in the system folder but it won't let me copy to, replace, delete, or rename it. thanks in advance.

For those of you looking to get terminal access on your webtop, here's a simplified set of instructions. You'll need:

A rooted Atrix.

Some kind of terminal access. I ended up using the Android Terminal Emulator that’s in the market; I would imagine that other terminals would work, as well as something like adbWireless.

Run the following commands on the terminal:

su

/usr/bin/sudo -u adas bash

export DISPLAY=:0

/osh/usr/bin/.lxterminal

And then, you too can end up with this!

P.S. I'm not responsible for any havoc you wreak after getting a terminal running. :D

P.P.S. droidbird has figured out how to add additional programs to the dock, so you should be able to add LXTerminal to the dock after that.
[Atrix 4G Android Development] Djazin:
Thanks worked nicely, though still fuzzy with the link you posted to get the terminal icon on the dock any how to explained more clearly?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonblod:
Ok. I have a fresh Samsung Captivate (build 1008) that I just flashed to stock with ODIN.

I want to mess it up a little bit. I want it to do this. I want it to do that. "ohhh ahhhh"

You, people out there, give me some recommendations for cool/good/fast/best ROMs.

Give me good ones, I'm tired of seeing the same ROM with a different skin and interface over and over. I want something different, unique, a nice selection of apps (google talk would be nice :D)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danw1million:
Have a look in the dev section for your phone, not sure what is available for that model

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coak5:
Any ROMS that Adam makes are awesome cause they're stupid fast and snappy including Firefly which he previously worked on. Right now I'm using Ryude's Precision 3.5 with UC/UV and getting awesome battery life (about 28-30 hours single charge) as a moderate to heavy user without sacrificing speed and stability. If it wasn't for me tweaking out a few things and soft bricking my phone previously running SuperNova 2.3, I think I would have stuck with it for a LONG time but meh, trying new ROMs never hurts.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demonblod:

I rooted my phone and installed wireless tether (works great) but what do i do now?

I know i want to get rid some programs but how?
[EVO Shift 4G General] JKILO:
Download root explorer or titanium backup and goto system/app folder
[EVO Shift 4G General] Telion007:
Now would also be a good time to start reading about the available kernals and Roms so that you will have less to learn when your ready to flash. This is if you are new to this I a am not judging, just guessing by your question. also check out all the rooted phone apps on the market theres other cool stuff in there too such as ^ personally I am running bnice's (Great thanks to you sir) Evo Shift ROM BC-2.6.32.21-build4 and the bnice 1.8ghz kernal clocked to 1.8 with CPU Tuner.
[Nook Color General] MisterEdF:
When trying to do a BACKUP from CWM it fails with the message:

"can't mount /system"

I did the "fix permissions" but that didn't help. The recovery is version 3.0.1.0 but I also tried 3.0.0.6 with same problem.

Rooted with auto-nooter 3.0.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Nook Color General] MisterEdF:
Arghhhhhh! After flashing to 3.0.0.6 and trying the backup after I reboot it goes right back into the CWM.

Now I can't even load the O/S.

Edit: I recently remapped the vol keys. Worked fine but I'm wondering if that could have caused this mess.

I tried restoring from a previous backup and it also failed with "can't mount system" and now I'm stuck at the "n" screen. Looks like it's time for a fresh install. Back to square one.
[Nook Color General] dragongunner86:
I am in the same boat. Could you please explain how I can perform a fresh install?
[Nook Color General] MisterEdF:
Well, I wasn't able to. It kept booting back into the recovery module.

You can try the "8 reset" method.

Power off power on. As soon as you see the "n" power it off again. Do this 8 times and on the 8th time it MIGHT reload the original Nook software. I have done that a few times before and it always worked (I had to reload 1.1 and re-root). This time I must have really f'd it up and was not able to restore.

It's going back to B&N tomorrow. It suddenly just totally died. Lucky coincidence. ;)
[Nook Color General] funcrusher:
I experienced the same after updating to 3.0.1.0 from rom manager. I fixed it by flashing http://muffinworld.net/android/nookcolor/clockwork/cwmr_3.0.1.0.zip from recovery -- same way you'd flash a ROM or kernel etc. It updates both recovery/kernel.

Just an idea in case you get yours powered up again.
[Nook Color General] MisterEdF:
Thanks. I wish I would have seen that earlier. :(
[Nook Color General] Philomorph:
I was having a similar problem. Same error of "can't mount /system", but the backup would just fail there and then I could reboot, no problem.

I used this fix by copying the linked ZIP file to my SD card and then using the clockwork recovery console to "install from ZIP file". Rebooted after and started the backup again from inside Rom Manager. It's working now.

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] 1Paladin:
I know this is a slightly old thread but I have a question.

I am just root stock and simply wanted to backup my system before trying the CM7 ROM.

When I run ROM Manager and simply try to "Backup Current ROM" it gives me the "can't mount /system" error.

I purchased ROM Manager I am unsure if any of the advice above applies to me since I am not currently running any ROMS. I just want to do a system backup.
[Wildfire General] Confucious:
I'm new to Android, but after some very brief research it appears that there are websites that will do it by submitting your IMEI to official servers to get an official unlock but no one has come up with a solution?

A friend has just got a Wildfire and I'm surprised it can't be unlocked - if anyone is working on it and wants some help, let me know. What's the problem? I'm not used to not being able to unlock!

I know very little.

But I do know some very clever people - who are probably not interested.

If I'm wrong, please point me in the direction of the solution.

If I'm right, and I can help. Please get in touch.

I know a bit about WinMo and Apple iOS - maybe it's time I started learning about Android....

The cache partition stores temp data and downloads from the market and htc hub. And the dalvik cache is created by the dalvik vm, its used so android can run apps with optimal bytecode. If you wipe the dalvik cache, the dalvik vm will rebuild it on boot :)

grrr ... first time i dont do a full backup before updating and im stuck on the boot animation .... not rebooting, just the animation going on and on and on ... waited 20 mins before taking the battery out. tried several times and managed to get into android but then SPB hung on a blank screen and i couldnt do anything !

battery out again and tried reflashing (again) - this time wiping the cache first ... 10 mins and still boot animation :mad:

anyone got any thoughts before i give up and revert to a month old backup ? :confused:

Got one at best buy for $399 but its.going back. Its overrated.

With all the threads today I'm actually trying to decide whether or not to ship my iPhone offto Gazelle and return the Atrix.

Powerful phone and very responsive.

[Atrix 4G General] resin99:
Some are selling on ebay for around $350.
[Atrix 4G General] bl0wf1sh:
not spending 500 bucks...

I'm in with the "cheaper dock" thing :)

I want the dock, I find the idea to be genial, but I do not see why I should pay $500 for essentially a screen, a keyboard and a battery.

So, anyone know of a cheaper source (or when - if - prices eventually go down), let me know. I'll keep subscribed to this thread :)
[Atrix 4G General] s1ickwi11y:
As I mentioned. Best Buy - $399.00 ($100 off)
[Atrix 4G General] FLAC Vest:
You can order it from Motorola for around 360; granted I took my Atrix back before I got a chance to use it.

I love the idea but a lot of reviews and people with first hand experience said it was a little laggy.

If it was 200 bucks I'd grab one today though.
[Atrix 4G General] bl0wf1sh:
Not anymore, you can't. It is not available anymore in Moto's online store. Before they took the accessory down, they bumped up the price again to US$499.

Not sure if I even want to spend 400 bucks on it (bestbuy). I personally think that is still too much for this piece of hardware.
[Atrix 4G General] cnk15:
It's $299 from ATT after a $100 MIR. I can't post links yet, but just search for lapdock and it comes up.
[Atrix 4G General] bl0wf1sh:
Only applies for people on an AT&T plan. Where this does not apply, this is the same price as letstalk.com.

Thanks for pointing it out though, this is another place to order. And a good deal for AT&T customers :)
[Atrix 4G General] bl0wf1sh:
It seems the Lapdock is now on sale in Canada for a mere CAD 330 (as opposed to US$ 399 being the cheapest in US). Unfortunately, it seems futureshop does not ship internationally, so it seems there is no way for me to order it from there.

This, however, brings up an interesting pricing question: is Moto test-driving a different price in Canada, just to see how it sells? Does that mean the US price is going to drop, or does it mean the Canadian price is going to go up later on?

More importantly: how do I get this shipped internationally from Canada? Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G General] s1ickwi11y:
If it were me, I'd have it shipped to a postal annex or USP store or something, then have them intercept it and forward the mail to any address of your choosing. :D

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rikardo1979:
1st of all your friend need to decide what he wants, either windows or android.

what's the poit to start qindows and than boot into android?

he neet to flash the sys properly and not start from sd card.once the system is in flash u have stable sys,win or android.

so if he decide to go with android just go to Android NAND section.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
What kind of answer is that.

Do you think the world has to be either fully android or fully win mobile? I think not. I use both and want both. And NAND is NOT fully stable either.

Phone will turn or or it won't turn on? Which is it? Are you saying it won't boot to winmo or it won't boot to android? If you remove the sd card does the phone boot to winmo? With the phone completely off what happens when you push the button to turn on the phone? You need to better explain your issue and what is actually happening. Cramming vague info into one super long sentence does not help you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sandso9:
The reason were doing it this way is because hes not very smart at messing with this kind of stuff thats how he got his phone to not turn back on for some reason. Like when it turned off he couldnt get it to turn back on we both thought it was bricked but i started looking around posted on here and we push the soft reset button on the back of the phone and now it turns on but sometimes it wont its weird

tried a few times for several hours to fault find,never solved it. All hail nand!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Agoattamer:
I still don't have a clue. :rolleyes: If you are not smart enough to install an sd build (copy and paste) I sure as hell don't know how someone is going to go through all that for NAND builds. And the whole problem just might be that the call end/power button is defective.

Whatever this way is then good luck.

Hello,

Recently is heard that "The Mother Of All Android Malware Has Arrived" (march 1st). Although I love to install all kinds of new roms, i'm aware my knowledge in the smartphone-world is limited to installing roms and following step by step instructions to the letter. Is someone willing to explain, or give some heads-up, if you want to avoid your phone being infected with something like the kind of malware described in the articles you can find recently on the web?

Reading the article you stumble upon things like: root the user’s device via rageagainstthecage or exploid, yank IMEI and IMSI, another APK hidden inside the code, steals nearly everything it can like product ID, model, language, country, and userID, and that it has the ability to download more code.

Yes i understand: don't install apps from suspicious websites or the usenet and read before install. But obviously nowadays you can get infected from downloading a (on first glance) legit app from the market. Maybe there are things you can do to decrease the chance you get infected with something you don't want?

I also read that the firewalls and/or anti-virus programms u can find on the Market, don't anticipate on these kind of threads the way firewalls and anti-virus programms do on my desktop. Is this true?

Simple and obvious as these heads-up may be, someone like me might not be aware of it.

Thanks.
