Excellent book!

Wish he'd hurry up with the sequal on kindle :D

It's like with Paul D. Harrington's Lightspeed series, although the second one came out in 2009 Amazon are only showing it as a second hand paperback for $32!

I think you've flashed a .51 radio and you have a TMoUS phone. There's nothing you can do other than look for somebody who knows how to solder and JTAG the phone.

Make sure you read next time. :)

I downloaded some wallpapers through the browser and as everyone knows, there is a notification in the notification bar whenever you download something. All fine and well, just clear them out (by swiping them, very neat) -- however, anytime any other sort of notification appears in the bar, all of the previous download notifications re-appear. This is massively annoying.

Is this a known issue? Is there a fix?

[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Try a reboot
[EVO 4G General] twiz0r:
This has been happening to me for a long time. I have found that if I click on the notification and select an app to open it with, then it won't come back.

swyped from my cyanogenized and gingerbreaded EVO
[EVO 4G General] Ryjabo:
Yeah, as soon as I rebooted the phone, they all showed up again.

I wiped browser cache/cookies and everything... that seems to have done it. They should probably test/investigate this, though
[EVO 4G General] Ryjabo:
Clearing cache didn't work.

This is really, really annoying.

EDIT: As someone mentioned, it seems that "clearing" the notifications (by swiping them off) doesn't just do it. You have to actually open the notification by selecting it, then back out of it... is this working as intended?

Now that Bluetooth is unlocked, what sorts of keyboards have people tried with it?

I am thinking of getting one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Flexible-Bluetooth-Waterproof-Keyboard/dp/B003K1VABO
[Nook Color Accessories] poofyhairguy:
Ok, maybe this one:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823829003
[Nook Color Accessories] E_man5112:
Flexible keyboards are a mess, and I'm not sure the small keyboard would be an improvement over thumb keyboard. I was thinking of looking at the XOOM keyboard, but I'm waiting for the next honeycomb release (that may have bluetooth)
[Nook Color Accessories] poofyhairguy:
What about this one, a little larger (and cheaper!):

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823115003

As noted in the development forum, I was able to pair a Think Outside Stowaway bluetooth keyboard successfully with the SD image.
[Nook Color Accessories] RikF:
I've just banged out a film review in Docs to Go with a Logitech diNovo keyboard on CM7 - worked like a charm. I'm thinking of picking up an Apple wireless keyboard - the diNovo is too big to carry around, and needed for my desktop!
[Nook Color Accessories] poofyhairguy:
Yep, that is the direction I am going after reading many reviews...
[Nook Color Accessories] the.tall.man:
I have this one, currently the nook reboots once the keyboard connects. It's also uncomfortably tiny. :)
[Nook Color Accessories] Arbelzapf:
hm....That's the only really good keyboard I've found, too. I was hoping that I'd find something less expensive, though.

Why is it so hard to make a slim portable BT-keyboard that's big enough to be actually useful? I really don't need the apple tax and/or fancy extras like foldability
[Nook Color Accessories] MrOtsKrad:
http://stev.ca/eldtnf

Something like this form factor would be great for me, as over the years I can pretty much type as fast on a mobile 5row keyboard as i can on a regular one.
[Nook Color Accessories] Jgrimoldy:
That can be had quite a bit cheaper at www.dealextreme.com

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/49-key...oard-for-android-windows-symbian-iphone-45604

Myself, I prefer a much larger keyboard. Here's a foldable one (not a flimsy flexible one) that folds into a very small package.

Actually I have found that prices for Apple Wireless Keyboards on Ebay are not bad at all thanks to the fact that one comes with each iMac. I just got one for $50 shipped.
[Nook Color Accessories] time pilot aka:
Don't mean to hijack the thread, I just really didn't want to open a new one for this.

I'm not really looking for a full keyboard, but anybody have experience with bluetooth game controllers? My parents have a Wii, going to steal one of their controllers just to try out NESoid, but it doesn't really have enough buttons for, say, SNES or PSX emulation.
[Nook Color Accessories] poofyhairguy:
This?

http://wii.nintendolife.com/news/2010/05/classic_controller_support_comes_to_android_wii_remote_app
[Nook Color Accessories] time pilot aka:
Yeah I've seen that. I wish somebody made a classic controller that didn't have to be tethered to the WiiMote though.
[Nook Color Accessories] poofyhairguy:
Actually it might be a plus if the range is limited. You keep the Wii-mote next to the nook, and then lean back with the controller!
[Nook Color Accessories] time pilot aka:
Good point, that. Or build some sort of case that has the wiimote sewn inside (or maybe just the wiimote guts?) This could lead to something...
[Nook Color Accessories] eyecrispy:
I just did the exact same thing. Ordered the Apple one for 50 off ebay. Poofyhairguy, let me know if yours works with NC.
[Nook Color Accessories] poofyhairguy:
I just did this, it worked great! Go classic Wiimote!!!!
[Nook Color Accessories] Arbelzapf:
Did you check out the Datel Retro wireless controller? I'm not sure, but I think this one directly connects to the Wii.

http://uk.codejunkies.com/Products/Wii-Wireless-Retro-Controller__EF000622.aspx

As for the keyboards, I ended up buying the Apple mini keyboard. Since I got a 20 coupon for our local shopping centre, I could pick it up for 50€.

What can I say? I love it, but it does not work :D

I hope the reboot issue gets sorted out soon. Can't wait to turn my Nook into a netbook. Meanwhile, I'm using the keyboard with my PC and it's great. Awesome little piece of hardware

EDIT: Hehe, thanks to verygreen, my keyboard now works
[Nook Color Accessories] time pilot aka:
Can't tell from the website, but that controller uses an RF dongle that attaches to the Wii instead of bluetooth. Nintendo must have the BT controller licensing locked down in proprietary-land or something, I dug all through the darkened alleys of the internet last night and couldn't find anything legit.

Doesn't really matter. Just bought a used barebones Wii controller off eBay for $10, and you can buy the classic dual-joy controller at any major retail store for $20. Already broke into my parents' house to test their Wiimote with NESoid, and it works famously...going to make my upcoming 10 hour roadtrip so much easier. (now come on CM guys...all that's left is DSP video!!)
[Nook Color Accessories] rohit275:
Also, if you don't want a classic controller with a wiimote...you could just use the nunchuk. It works surprisingly well on n64oid. I'm loving it right now.
[Nook Color Accessories] ErroneousBosch:
I want that last one... unfortinately not sure if the NC's extra .6" length and .15" width might make it too tight a fit..

Just ordered this Bluetooth keyboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823701033

I'll report back when I get it as to it's compatibility.
[Nook Color Accessories] SCWells72:
This definitely looks cool, but I hate the idea of spending $80-100 on a keyboard, especially when one of the reasons I bought the NC was the value proposition:

http://jornostore.com/

I like how compact this is and how it has a stand for the tablet (or phone, or whatever). If something like this came out in the $30-40 range I'd almost certainly snag it.
[Nook Color Accessories] s0ma:
According to the video, it directly syncs to the console... bout 00:46 it shows it... I don't own a Wii so i can't verify but that looks like it directly syncs...

edit: i read a description for Nyko's Wing, which is kinda like this one... according to Nyko there's an adapter that plugs into the original Wii remote, then lets you sync to that.

I'm sure Nintendo keeps the BT locked down like Microsoft does. The dongle for the xbox 360 controller for PC has kinda went extinct, and was the only way to connect it wirelessly to a PC.
[Nook Color Accessories] bartimeus:
I tried this on my phone but the apps I found to connect them don't allow enough variation for all the controls on n64oid =/

'Seems a little pricey.

You could go with the keyboard by Geyes from DealExtreme:

http://www.dealextreme.com/p/compac...e-bluetooth-wireless-keyboard-set-black-50291

It's only $68. Free shipping.

I have one of their wired USB versions. Each use the same keyboard. It folds into a smaller package which doesn't show the ugly hinges like the Jorno. So far, I'm pretty happy with it. It feels very much like using a Lenovo Thinkpad keyboard.

The only downside with this option is that they take (what feels like) forever to arrive. Since it comes from Hong Kong, shipping time is measured using the geologic time scale. Order now and you'll receive some time in the New Cretaceous era (or 3-4 weeks, whichever is sooner).
[Nook Color Accessories] woot1524:
I can confim that the Zippy BT-500 keyboard works great. I'm typeing from it now. There is a slight delay between typeing and it showing up on the screen, but I'm assuming that's normal for bluetooth. I would recomend it so far. I'm really digging the multi-device pair function. I have it paired with my nook, cell phone, PS3, and laptop. I can switch between all 4 devices with just two keystrokes.
[Nook Color Accessories] KitF:
Just posting to confirm that the Zoom keyboard for the iPad does indeed work. You will need the latest nightly, or whichever one has the bluetoot fixes, as it causes a soft crash on Nightly 17 like the Apple keyboard.

[Nook Color Accessories] DiscoPh3v3r:
hmmm... on that page it doesn't say anything about bluetooth :eek:

But I was thinking of getting one myself when I saw the keyboard on the wal-mart online store, but decided not to because of pricing. It's hard deciding between a bluetooth keyboard for my nook ONLY or one I can use with my computer as well :(

*Edit*

Lol after seeing the larger pictures... I'm sold. It's such a sexy keyboard, and the controls on top for the music and stuffs just got me. I'll see if I can find a cheaper one though, but bluetooth seems to be really expensive...

*Edit 2*

I found this one: http://amzn.com/B004HJEVWI

which is MUCH cheaper, but its not the same level of sexy as the Xoom keyboard :( but it can be used with my computer and Nook... but I guess it doesn't even matter since my computer doesn't have Bluetooth :o

Anyways I think Ill get the Xoom keyboard from wal-mart, its $59.00 if you get it from the store :D

Are you guys referring to the unlocking of bluetooth on NC with Froyo or the stock 2.1 android OS?

I've been thinking that the Nook has become so popular as a Tablet (friends that have never owned an Android device have one) that it's possible something like the galaxy tab case/keyboard might be made for Nook. What do you think? We should all write emails to the company that makes it and request it, they might listen.

[Nook Color Accessories] Ridel:
I haven't seen any feedback but a lot of talk, so I wanted to post my experience with the Apple Wireless Keyboard. That is to say that pairing it is a bit of a challenge (no worse than with a Windows machine though), as you'll be challenged to enter a PIN on CM7, but it's not obvious you should enter the same PIN on the keyboard immediately after.

However, even though CM7 says that's connected to a HID device, it doesn't seem to receive any input. I'm running Phiremod v5.1 (CM7 3-16), so I think I'll try to upgrade to the latest as I read somewhere about some bluetooth fixes added in a later build.

palm bluetooth foldable keyboard 3245WW

Just like to report that my palm bluetooth foldable keyboard (3245WW) works perfectly with NC :) I used it with my old Treo phone before. The quality of this KB is top notch. After folding, it is slightly larger than a wallet size. One of the best BT keyboards for tablets, if you could find one somewhere.

An external keyboard would be cool actually. But without some sort of docking station or stand, not sure if it would be something I would consider..
[Nook Color Accessories] JLCollier2005:
They have keyboards (both made for smart phones and ones made for the iPad) that have built in stands. The problem with this, to me, is that it's too close and you have to take it out of your current case (if you have one). My solution is getting a case that has a stand built in, like many people do with their Xoom, Galaxy Tab, or iPad.

The only one that is currently out there made specifically for landscape mode and has multiple views is coming out from rooCASE on 4/9. (Found here
[Nook Color Accessories] miniaturepeddler:
Just picked up my bluetooth apple keyboard. Inititial pairing was a challenge, until I remembered a post in this thread, reminding you that you need to type in the pairing number immediately into topographic keyboard after typing it into the nook. Once I had done that, it quickly tied together.

I was able to pick up the apple bluetooth keyboard on Amazon (it was an open box) recently cheaply. I like that the keyboard is close to full size. So I can type easily (I am not a hunt and Peck typer), plus the solideness of the keyboard mean that it can sit easily in my lap without requiring another board or support.

Overall I would recommend the keyboard for your nook.

This message was typed with my keyboard.

(My sweetie was making fun of me - "what's next? A mouse? ")

The deal for the keyboard since it was open box was $50.

So my total for my book so far:

Nook $250

case $30

Keyboard $50

RE: BT Keyboard:Menotek

I just recievd a Menotek BT keyboard (Black flexiable ). I ordered it from Amazon. I took it out of the box and charged it via the desktop USB port for 15 minutes and turn it on and my Rooted NC ( Cm7 encore ) picked it right up. I notice that it would shut off but I figure it was not charged all the way. I like the feel of it. Its almost like my laptop keypad.

For those of you planning to use an apple bt keyboard. I have access to two different apple bt keyboards.

-The older 3 battery version I was able to pair and connect but would not type or get to work after pairing with hid connection.

-The newer 2 battery models pairs and connects but actually works. You don't even need a special app from market.

Just fyi for anyone picking up a used one to make sure you get the newer style. They are expensive but it is nice to have a full size keyboard that is pretty portable.

Any feedback on using the 3 battery version with the 1.1 version firmeware update?
[Nook Color Accessories] sstrauss:
I found the perfect stand for the NC with the Xoom Keyboard. At Best Buy they have a Rocketfish netbook cooling stand. Turned upside down the stand allows the NC + Xoom keyboard to be used like a netbook. The stand will hold both the keyboard and the Nook.
[Nook Color Accessories] Ridel:
Thanks. This explains why I've read multiple threads from users stating they've paired their Apple BT keyboard, and mine's paired but just goes nowhere.

It's because I have the old 3 battery version as well. Ah well.
[Nook Color Accessories] dexx0008:
I spent plenty of time trying myself. Once I got ahold of the newer one it worked right away. kinda sucky that it doesn't work.

Had a Xoom keyboard...to make a long story short. It wouldn't stay "awake" half the keys didn't work and it would constantly lag or repeat a key press. Searched around and found half fixes but nothing that made the keyboard close to reliable.

Took it back a few days later. It was a nice toy though...felt kinda flimsy though.

I have that exact one. It works fine, but it's so small that you might as well use the on-screen keyboard in portrait.
[Nook Color Accessories] s0ma:
Nice! Size isn't an issue. I don't plan to type with it much, but it would be ideal for a "remote" for music control or just bind keys for game emulators. Not carrying around a Wii controller, and I wouldn't use usb host with my 360 controller anywhere but home... Thanks for the head's up!

I know this is probably a little far fetched... but is there any possibility of using an android phone as a bluetooth or wifi keyboard with the NC? Similar concept to remotedroid/gmote?
[Nook Color Accessories] Taosaur:
Just understand that for a lot of BT devices, the NC's range is measured in inches, not feet. Game controllers like the wiimote seem to be the exception, and would probably be more feasible as a media remote.
