A nice app I found called QTADB that is basically a gui for ADB. It has a very easy to use interface for drag and drop type file management , backups, logcat viewer, shell, screenshot,and more. Working well with my nook and win 7 x64 and so much easier than console commands. Also has linux...

To add to that, make sure you put a load on the battery if you are measuring the voltage of the battery disconnected. Something like a single 330 ohm resistor would be good. Bad lithium batteries sometimes will appear charged until you place the load on it then it falls to 2 or lower volts...

This has been the first ROM I have installed in the past 7 months that has worked without any issues. I tried other builds and always got the touch screen not working correctly, having to power off then back on to get it back usable, the other bug I had was turning up the volume to max would...

Read page 19 of the document. I just posted that for people to know the general section not as a specific example. Page 28 of the document explains why the log may read 2036 but actually be 1.5A

As an engineer I pulled some info from the datasheet for the chip the nook uses, it may help better understand charging issues. full datasheet is on the TI site at:http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq24196.pdf If you connect the nook to a low power pc port you will only be able to run the...

The 242MB is used by the video processor . I know it seems like you get cheated, advertises 1GB memory but only 782MB usable for applications.

This is the only problem I have with my nook HD+, but I am getting close to finding the problem. I have managed to get dmesg to print out when the problem is occurring, and that isn't easy when it wants to start doing random presses ! Every time this problem occurs I see the same thing...

All that is needed is a script to run in the background and look for the event. The firetv already detects the drive correctly on connection, look in dmesg and you will see something like below when I plugged in a usb hard drive. sb 4-1: new high-speed USB device number 3 using msm_hsusb_host...

Don't be concerned with the fire TV staying on when not in use, your tv uses more in standby power mode than the fire tv uses in full power mode. The box is made very well, all that weight comes from cast aluminum, the whole case is one big heat sink.

The battery not charging and tablet appearing dead other than the led is a common problem with tablets, not just the nook. In the tablet they use a chip that has a controller integrated to charge lithium ion batteries. The controller has limits that have to fall into a preset range or the...

It really has me scratching my head because I installed the exact same version on another stock unit fresh out of the box and it doesn't have the issue either. Both using the exact same steps. The one with the problem is also new but from a different manufacturing date. Are there different...

Power off on loud sounds Just flashed a stock HD+ with the 2/15/2013 nightly build of kitkat, EMMC, and tablet powers off on loud volume . Loud pop from speaker and then powers off. I thought at first it was a hardware problem but gping back to stock the tablet works fine at max volume. It...
