[Nook Color General] clak84:
Wanted to post this in the actual development thread but can't due to post count. so here goes. I've been using the recently posted CM7 rom with bluetooth working. I've got no problem with turning the bluetooth on, and can even pair it with my Fascinate, although it says it's paired but not connected. I want to be able to pair it with my Fascinate and use the GPS from it, but so far Bluetooth GPS Provider just tells me there is a problem with the GPS and to restart it and try again. Am I wrong in thinking this should work? Do I need a completely separate bluetooth capable GPS?

I don't know, turning it on worked after a simple restart, I just can't get it to connect properly apparently.
[Nook Color General] primusx1:
I got Bluetooth GPS Provider to connect to my Holux GPSlim240. GoogleMaps is using the GPS signal perfectly. I also get the occasional restart msg but I think its the bluetooth moving out of its 2 to 3 foot range. Menu settings on Bluetooth GPS also seem weird. The GPSlim is a SiRF but when selecting that it seems to fail more. Used "other" in GPS type.

Check the model number, NS with SAMOLED screen is labelled GT-I9020 while the SLCD one is the GT-I9023.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
You could have a faulty screen. What you describe doesn't sound as a SC-LCD screen neither.

But you can just check the model number. If it says i9023, it is the SC-LCD version, and if it says i9020, it's the S-AMOLED version.

[G Tablet General] butchconner:
I'm not expert enough to say this is the answer to a lot of people's problem -- but I'm going to throw it out anyway and hopefully some of the "really expert" people will jump in.

Several times when I have had major problems, I have found that the file structure/files/etc. on my tablet were messed up. Before I could reinstall, I had to re-partition, wipe caches, etc.

I read a lot of posts about people having major lockups or loops and then just trying to reload and reload software assuming that is the only problem -- and not getting good results.

It seems to me that if there is a serious enough malfunction to have to nvflash or do a major recovery -- it would be good to re-partition, wipe caches, etc. in case there is corruption or other structure problems.

What I think we need is for one of the gurus to make us a procedure for "Rebuilding the /sdcard File Structure" (or something like that. Repartition to 2048 and 0 --- and then what else? Which things need to be wiped, formatted, etc.

I'm pretty good a discerning what's wrong -- and I think some of these rebuilds are failing because of this problem.

Right? Wrong? Other ideas? Procedure?

P. S. -- Enough folks are having these problems right now that this could be an important help for them if I am right......
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I PM'd, but the short version for the forum.

I've obviously seen a lot of issues with the TNT Lite 5.0.0, and I've whittled it down to two major problems. First off, not everyone reads instructions. This was fine pre-TNTL 5.0.0 as the instructions really were the same for every version preceding it. But 5.0.0 changed the playing field drastically. Which leads me to the my second point....

I think that some of us have been using mods for so long now that stock was no longer an option without an nvflash. Viewsonic, for example, had a bootloader update in December and I believe a recovery change with 3588. But since a lot of us have been using mods for months, we never got those updates. So, when the time came to revert back to stock, there were problems.

In some ways, TNT Lite 5.0.0 is almost like a tablet cleanup - it's the first update I've had where a stock pre-req was required, and the first one in a very long time where I added a stock bootloader and recovery.
[G Tablet General] Charles77:
nvflash and tnt 5.0

I tried to go 5.0 after i did nvflash and it instantly did an update ota so when I tried tnt 5.0 it got stuck at the birds for like 15mins, so I nvflashed again.

What am I doing wrong?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Not sure -- sounds like you did it correctly. nvflash to 2967, OTA to 3588 and then TNTL 5.00. You didn't install clockworkmod, correct? You need 3588 recovery for this to work.
[G Tablet General] Charles77:
oops yes I did. ok
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
That would do it. The reason why 3588 recovery is needed is because it updates the bootloader, whereas I believe clockwormod does not.
[G Tablet General] darthbubba:
I'm kinda stuck here, and need some help...

A co-worker has this G-tablet, and gave it to me for the weekend, to load a custom ROM on it so she can watch Hulu and other videos on it.

I did my homework prior to touching ANYTHING, so I made sure it was at 3588 stock, then downloaded the TnT 5 images, along with nvflash and the stock image in case anything went wrong.

Got Tnt 5 up and running, but ran into the issue where it wouldn't sleep (required a reboot to work again). This wouldn't do, so I decided to downgrade to TnT 4.25. The hell started from there...

After flashing TnT 4.20, it got stuck on the birds boot screen. No worries I thought, just run nvflash and everything will be out-of-box new 'n fresh.

I have nvflashed this damned thing about 18 times now, and keep getting the problem where it will flash fine, then reboot fine. But if the unit is powered off or reboots, it gets stuck in APX mode, and won't do anything until it's nvflashed again.

Please help! At this point, I'll be happy just with getting back to status quo ante...

UPDATE: I forgot to mention: I'm accessing this G-tablet from a Win 7 laptop, to which I installed the nVidia USB driver.

[G Tablet General] butchconner:
darthbubba et all,

The files from otreblada that are in this download are the same files roebeet and others have provided -- just packaged together in one set.

To nvflash you have to have:

1. the files for the program nvflash

2. the .img, boot, etc. files

3. the USB driver files.

All of these are referenced and available in several places.

I am glad, however, that this might be a solution for some of you who seem to

have recurring problems.

[Captivate General] IamTHEvilONE:
I would have posted to the dev forum, but can't due to lack of posts.

I'm currently running the following combination:

Rogers Galaxy S Captivate

ROM - Firefly 2.5

Firmware - 2.2

Kernel - 2.6.32.9 speedmod-i897-k13c-500hz #28

So I flashed my phone this morning, after the EST time change, in the following order:

1 - flash firefly 2.5 via clockwork

2 - remove swype (since it was showing expired)

3 - install speedmod kernel

4 - install swype beta

After the flash was complete, my phone was 1 hour behind ... so not reflecting the time change that happened this morning.

So from the home screen I:

1. go into menu > settings > Date and Time

2. uncheck the box for automatic time

My observation is that the 3 boxes for manual date/time settings don't actually unlock.

So right now my text messages are being time stamped out of order (1 hour ahead of my own).

I'd prefer not to have to use the SMS Time Stamp fix apk, and didn't know if anyone else had seen the same thing with the newest version of FireFly.

Thoughts?

Jon
[Captivate General] IamTHEvilONE:
so I did a little exploring using Droid Explorer and the Droid Shell.

Apparently the phone is set to CDT instead of EDT (Eastern Daylight Time), which is odd since I am right near Toronto. That explains the 1 hour difference.

# date

Sun Mar 12 12:45:23 CDT 2011

Since my phone isn't detecting the time zone correctly, and I can't manually set it ... I'm trying to figure out where the time zone is set in android or the syntax for using the date command to set it.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Settings> Date and Time>uncheck use network

That should enable the manual settings.

Caution swyping, read at your own risk
[Captivate General] Zukoso:
same here..it is really annoying...speacially because here in Chile we delayed the time change for 3 weeks, and yesterday my captivate changed time :(
[Captivate General] IamTHEvilONE:
that's exactly what i did. Usually the 3 options below (date/time/timezone) become white, which means you can touch them for more options.

After disabling the use network time, the options stayed 'grayed' out such that tapping.

If I switch ROMs, the problem goes away ... which is why I was mentioning it specifically for the FireFly ROM to see if others could test it.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:

[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
I've got my autonootered 1.1.0 NC and it is working great. The only thing is the battery seems to be running out really fast on this. On my wife's autonootered 1.0.1, the battery isn't running out nearly so slow and we have all the same apps, although some of mine, since it's newer, may be more recent versions.

One thing I noticed is that she has very little time on "Android system", whereas 2/3 of the drain on mine is from that. The only apps that typically run though are advanced task killer and batter indicator. I regularly shut down everything else.

I've also renamed phone.apk and the telephony(something).apk on both of them as well.

Is there anything that will deep dive into "android system" on battery use? There are no rogue apps running (at least according the task killer). Or any suggestions?
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
First thing I'd suspect are live wallpapers followed by widgets. Verify that you have a plain wallpaper and remove any widgets that you would anticipate are doing frequent polling of any kind. I'd remove that battery indicator one and see if that helps.
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Running zeam with plain nook wallpaper (just like on my wife's nook). No widgets. Am seriously wondering about the battery use thing though.
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
Like I suggested, uninstall that battery indicator app. You didnt mention which one it is so for now based on the only info youve provided thats the only advice I can give.

In one test I did on my nookie froyo install I'm running, I tried a new spruced up kernel and ran a battery status widget. The widget caused the nook to stay out of deep sleep and also out of lower clock speeds when idle resulting in horrible battery life.

Are you running setcpu on either or both nooks and if so are they set the same?
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
Try systempanel lite task manager by nextapp in market. It might help show ram and cpu usage of things.
[Nook Color General] Emperor Dano:
When not using wifi turn it off. That will save you some battery life as well.
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Keep the suggestions coming :)

The battery app is "battery indicator". It is usually running on both nooks, but mine has a more recent version I think (this is my main suspect right now).

We always kill the wifi when not using it, so I know that's not it. Also not running setcpu on either.

I sucked down probably 5-10% while just reading with only "advanced task killer", "battery indicator", and the stock reader running for less than an hour last night.

I'm going to try systempanellite and see if that tells me anything. Also going to charge it up to 100%, boot into CMR and reset the battery stats.

If it is the battery app, wondering how to find the older version to downgrade to, or maybe just find a different one, I suppose...
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
45 minutes of simply reading and went from 99% all the way down to 88%. No battery utility. Systempanellite (only running for a few of those minutes) didn't really show anything sucking either.

Only other difference I can think of now is that I disabled OTA updates on my wife's nook.

I wonder if I just got a bad nook, battery wise...
[Nook Color General] lyam23:
So ~10% from about ~1 hour of use? Might be a little high for just reading, especially if your brightness is low and your wifi is off. However, I note a 10% per hour discharge with average use. I get about ~2% or so overnight loss with screen off and wifi off.

Rooted 1.1, Monster root pack. Overclocked with Dalingrin's kernel.
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
Looking at the two nooks, side by side, I notice that on mine, AFfileDownloadService and CloudService are background, while on my wife's, they are 'Service'. When DeviceManagerService is running, that is also background on mine and service on hers.

Could that be why the "Android system" is sucking so much battery? SystemPanel doesn't show anything sucking cpu....

I know it's supposed to be around 10 hours, but that works out to be about 7 hours reading a small, simple epub, which has me concerned.

I did lower the brightness on mine to match my wife's exactly. It was less than halfway, but heres was lower, right in between the two esses at the end of 'brightness'.
[Nook Color General] doncaruana:
A more deliberate test shows 1% drain every 5 minutes (almost exactly) while just reading. That's a little over 8 hours and still less than I expect. Maybe I need to tweak the brightness a little more...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corruptsmurf:
So, I've read a lot about it, found a method I liked (used the visionary permroot from the Unlockr.com), and now I have successfully Permarooted and have S=Off on my MT4G.

Now what?

[Q. 1.]I know that seems dumb, but what is the FIRST thing I should do once I have root access? Should I set up the ADB through the Android SDK? Should I get CW3 to do a Nandroid backup? I know how to do those things, I just don't know which one I should do first.

[Q. 2.]Ultimately, I want to upgrade to custom ROM, preferably a Gingerbread port. Unfortunately, I've read that most of the ports have buggy wifi among other things, so here's another question, anyone know a good Stock mySense ROM with some extras like overclocking and such?

[Q. 3.] Although I'm very clear on what S=Off and Root access are, what they do, and why I want them, they steps beyond that are foggy. I'm not sure what the difference between a kernel and a ROM is or whether I need one or both to do what I want to do (see Q2). I also don't know/understand what flashing is/does. I'm not expecting anyone to explain all that in here (unless you want to), but could you point me to some resources where I can learn what those things are so I understand what the hell I'm doing?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdkoren:
1. I say flash a new recovery image (CWM 3.0.0.6) and make a full backup. I also copy my backups to my PC because it's happened to me before that the one on the sd card gets damaged and can't be restored from (aborts because of md5 checksum mismatch). I do recommend the android SDK and ADB because they can be quite handy. Also, while you're still on the stock kernel, you might consider doing the gfree stuff to unlock your SIM and get universal CID. You run it exactly the same way you did the root.sh in theunlockr.com method - easy as cake.

2. I don't know about any sense roms, so I'll let others suggest those. I honestly think you should drop Sense and go with CyanogenMod, but to each his own.

3. Try the XDA Wiki, link up at the top. I'll bet there's tons of stuff there that will make for great bedtime reading. Since you mentioned a few things specifically, I'll throw some stuff at you:

The ROM is all the system files that compose your phone's operating system. Flashing is the process of installing any sort of firmware image (a rom, a recovery image, etc). Basically, you're writing files to the system. As you probably know, this is usually done via CWM recovery. It can also be done through fastboot if you have the engineering bootloader and the android SDK.

The kernel is the central component of most operating systems. It is a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done at the hardware level. Every ROM has a kernel. When you flash a rom, the kernel files will be flashed with it. You can flash another kernel afterwards to replace the one already in the ROM, provided that it's compatible with the ROM.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corruptsmurf:
Thanks for the info; yesterday I got my ADB working and today I'm going to use gfree to get radio S=Off, Super CID, and Unlocked SIM. After that, I'll probably do a backup, then get the engineering bootloader, then do another backup. After making copies of all pertinent files, I'll THINK about upgrading my kernel or ROM haha.

[Vibrant General] trimble83:
Are you seeing your external sd when you mount the phone? If so, you need to format your micro sd under sd card and phone storage in the settings menu.

When you format your phone to factory settings, it should erase everything on the internal sd.
[Vibrant General] badaphooko01:

[Vibrant General] crysto25:

Odin and repartition checked I believe.
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
-ODIN to get the system back to stock

-menu>SD card and phone storage> format both SD cards.

If you are uber paranoid you could shred each SD slot to ensure no file is recoverable. Files are recoverable from a simple re-format.

Try formatting then using recuva to see what can be recovered, CCcleaner can properly wipe drive (under the tools menu), both can be found here and are free. check download.com for reviews of each or to dl them from download.com.
