Thanks for that link! I was having the same problem with the AMAZON appstore (but not the android marketplace, for some reason) but I couldn't find the old amazon appstore apk. Going back to it totally fixed the problem. But you're right, the constant reminders to update the apk are a pain in...

free replacement cable at the store I got new cable yesterday just by showing the old one (with the crack by the 'n') to the guy at the local b&n. I hardly got a single sentence out about what I needed, & he picked out a replacement and gave it to me free. I bought the warranty, but he didn't...

u Update: thanks for the feedback! My green sticker nc did come with v 1.2 already installed. I haven't tried cm7 yet, but in root explorer the /data folder is 1 GB in size & the /media is 5 GB. My apk's are all loading into the /data, except for just a few ( like netflix & android market)...

Could someone please clarify the difference between new nc's with a green sticker vs blue? I got a NC in May with the green. I understand the boxes with the blue indicate the new partitioning system. Hopefully the green sticker indicates something more innocuous.

Mine sounds more like whales sounding. Except when it's turned off. Then it's messages from my neighbors labrador

Thanks taosaur, i'll try it

I also used the htc vision fix. I had the exact same problem last night. I opened netflix & couldn't use it, just got a message saying there was an update for the netflix app and I could not use the app till I downloaded the update. Clicking on the Ok button took me immediately to the update...

I rooted and overclocked a new NC with 1.2 pre-installed, with no change in ROM so far. Rooting broke the ereader as well as the preloaded 'shop' app. Fortunately, books downloaded before the rooting procedure can still be read on the ereader, but nothing else. A couple side-loaded versions...

Final thing then I'll shut up: 'toolbelt' says the wpa supplicant fix in post 872521 on this forum has the version of the fix that works for the rooted 1.2 ( junior member, can't do links yet, sorry). Just type the number of the post in the search box at the top of the page

Rsptexas, just wanted to (respectfully!) be clear that the droid 1 is definitely adhoc, no question whatsoever. Though I'm aware people are getting confused about what their phone puts out. I can't recall which version of the supplicant fix finally worked, as I tried several. Don't give up...

New, rooted 1.2 needs WPA supplicant fix for adhoc At least in my experience. I bought my nc with the 1.2 already pre-installed. It would only recognize the infrastructure wifi. I have the droid 1. It does not have the option to become a WiFi hotspot as newer phones do (30$ through...

Huskermania: your videos are great, I've used them for other workarounds. I already had hulu, etc with playon, & just wanted to make people aware. (Playon is on my roku, where I first heard of it.) Best wishes

Khaytsus: i stand corrected. Found the reference: barnes& noble 'book clubs' (ie forums) thread on "things that you should know about the NookCOLOR." A non nook color USB won't charge it when in a wall socket, but may keep the battery from at least going down. Even a NC branded USB isn't...

In case there are those not aware: the 'PlayOn' app (free in the market) allows you to use Hulu easily, even you user queue, with totally no hacking of your NC. It's an app that's already been discussed in the NYT tech section, PC Magazine, etc. What you do is open the other part of the playon...

I read in passing that the deeper socket on the nc, that makes regular microUSB cables not charge the nc, relates to the extra contacts needed to charge the bigger battery more quickly. Will try to find the reference-
