Well it looks like I managed to come to my own aid. So I thought I would record what I did in case it can help somebody else. I considered the issue might be the Windows machine that I was on. I only have 1 Windows machine in the house, but 2 Macs, so I looked up how to get Odin working on a...

I have recently successfully rooted my P600 and P605. However I had an old version of TWRP on the P605 (which I installed to get this non-western model of the P605 upgraded to 5.11 as OTA updates wouldn't work) so I decided to update it to using the offical Google Play store app. That's when...

[ROOT/GAPPS] HD/HDplus Stock Root and other Mods - via CWM flashable zips Finally got this onto my UK Nook Hd+. Sadly the Play store just opens and then closes immediately. Running unrooted using the rev2 of GAPPs zip. Any ideas?

I can take some photos, but not until later tonight at the earliest. I would be interested to know how the screen assembly is glued/attached together, if you were able to take some photos of the bottom edge, that would be very enlightening.

Well, I've tried to contact B&N but their online chat support has told me to phone them. :/ Not great for someone who is at work all day with only a mobile phone and an international number to call. They wouldn't provide me with a UK freephone. Anyway, from that disassemble guide (thanks for...

I'm loathe to return the item because it's otherwise perfect. The box was factory sealed when it arrived and still in cellophane. This strikes me as a fault caused by screws not being flush and could probably be rectified at my end. Anyone else had a similar problem?

I took delivery of a brand new sealed Nook HD+ that I bought of eBay, yesterday and as soon as I got it open I noticed that the "n" for the home button seemed a bit less proud than other Nooks I've seen. I've since compared it directly with another Nook HD+ and there is definite movement in the...

I literally just opened my Nook HD+ fresh out of the box tonight. I was trying to get Google Play store onto it for my parents, but then it automatically updated to 2.0.5 and beeped at me without any prompting. Just a few hours later and it's now trying to update to 2.0.6. Looks like a picked a...

Dude. You can't throw that out there and leave the internet hanging. What did you do to solve the issue? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

How about getting tablet mode by installing ROM Toolbox Lite and changing the DPI from 213dpi to 160dpi? It's under Performance/build.prop.tweaks You'll need to be rooted though. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I have exactly the same behaviour. I only held down the power button to get it to reboot though. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

From those photos it looks like there is no problem at all. Where are we supposed to be looking? Are they in the middle of the screen? The judgement call is yours. Can you live with the fault? If you can't take it back. The chances of repeatedly getting a dud are slim. Sent from my Nexus 7...

No and that's the reason why when I finally bought a tablet it was a Nexus 7. The Nexus 7 finally filled that niche of power, price and portability. If you add on the fact that millions will be sold and it will be getting community support for years you can guarantee it will be a sensible...

Fixed the issue. It was Playmo that were to blame. Trying unblockus and it works fine on Android devices now. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

My 2 pennies. The Nexus is a great tablet that's certain. Its price point has made thousands if not millions of people finally get a tablet. I was so impressed that I bought two instead of having just one iPad to share between the wife and I. Personally I have no regrets. It does everything I...
