Well, a connector failure is a possibility. Faint, but present. Maybe a bit of moisture caused a corrosion there? I have pulled the LED strip from a broken screen assembly. You can see it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60107819&postcount=3 . And by the way - Warszawa is a...

This is the first case of such a Glowlight failure. I have seen a factory testing tool somewhere (one that can pinpoint exact cause of lighting failure). I will search my archive for it and get back to you. Edit: Good news is - I found what I mentioned above. Bad news is that I have no idea...

One of recent topics reminded me about this, and I finally got to upload those unusual files. For everyone interested, they can be found here: https://mega.co.nz/#F!bxRmEbwC!DK3iJWyFfwBTwa-SEv0DzQ If anyone know how to run tests connected with all those result message pictures, I would be very...

Oh, this was not what I meant. I was thinking about that Nook dangling around with no protection in our world full of table corners and door-knobs. By the way - I use to carry mine in a leather(ish) cover in my cargo pants. They have perfectly sized pocket on the thigh level. ;)

Aren't you afraid that you will accidentally hit and crack eink screen? It seems to be a bit risky.

This is the first case of such a Glowlight failure I have ever heard of. I have seen a factory testing tool somewhere (one that can pinpoint an exact cause of lighting failure). I will search my archive for it and get back to you.

Renate NST, thank you for the Touch Diagnostics - it had just helped me with my NST that gone a little crazy (sensor readings were all shifted about 3cm to the left) after a 1,5 meter fall on the pavement. Thanks to you I could pinpoint exactly where to apply force to bend the bezel back to...

First of all, which memory do you mean? If RAM, than the answer is: VERY highly improbable. NST already has onboard the one (it is Samsung K4X2G323PC) with the highest capacity of the manufacturer line in its generation in that package. Additionally it is mounted in BGA technology, so you need a...

Thanks, guys (sorry for the delay)!

I am not sure that we are thinking about the same thing. I'll try to explain. In default mode when brosing directories I see an icon grid with very limited space for filenames. It is irritating when I try to choose the correct one from whole bunch of similar named ones, when the differencr is at...

ИΘΘK¡€, is that version working properly when you choose "view" button on the bottom of the screen? Every version I have tried to this point crashed when I tried to change the view,

Try FAT16. And make sure that the contacts of your Nook microsd slot are clean. For example check if any other card works with that slot. Use alcohol like ethanol or isoprophyl if to clean it if needed.

Try to refer to specific post number, not the page of the thread, as other users may have different thread display settings ("Number of Posts to Show Per Page"). For example for me this thread has only 12 pages at the moment, so it makes your reference a mystery for me. And about your problem...

You can, for example, prepare the Noogie microsd card (burn the image on the card, however I am not quite sure that the term "burn" is proper in English for that). Then power on the Nook with that microsd inside and plug it into your PC. With a properly prepared Noogie microsd you should see a...

I've been looking into the "factory" partitions of the Nooks I have in my family and on 3 out of 5 units I have noticed one folder (testogossamer) and one file (mfg_update.zip) more, that on the rest of the units. If I understand correctly, this is a quality control leftover. Am I right? Is it...

You need to specify the program you used to do that for us to be able to help.

The latest version, 1.4.1, seems to be here: http://www.the-ebook.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1225897&highlight=#1225897

That book is probably a PDF made of jpegs. It is the worst kind to read on an eink device. You can use something like pdfscissors to crop the margins of the file before loading it to the ereader or use an application that can do it on the go, on the device - like Orion Viewer or Perfect Viewer...

You probably only have to reconfigure ReLaunch.. If you have Button Savior installed - try to press its menu symbol on Relaunch main screen. If not, go to Nook Touch Mod Manager -> Modify button actions and temporarily set one of the Quicknav or other buttons to "Menu". Then return to Relaunch...

Thank you for the correction, Renate NST. I am only a layman with a screwdriver, a multimeter, a soldering iron and a liking for DIY projects. With hardly any knowledge about electronics, to be honest.

1. Clean all the edges of the screen with a soft cloth and remove any dust particles. If that does not help, then: 2. Try to restore your system to unrooted state from the backup that you made, before rooting. (You have made one, haven't you?) If that does not help, then: 3. Read about Renate...

Well... It seems that those devices use exactly the same eInk panel. Assembly on the NSTwG has only those additional elements: 1. Additional light dispersion layer between the eInk panel and the matte protective sticker (yup, Nook has something like that straight from the factory) - this is the...

To delete application, go to "All applications" (the middle button on the bottom of the main screen, the one with nine tiny squares), then touch and hold the icon of the selected application to enter into a small menu with uninstalling option. And to install an application from the ReLauch, just...

If you mean the one near the microSD card slot, then it is just a glowlight power cable. It is not responsible for anything else than lighting up the screen. ...and the light does work even when ripped out from the screen assembly of an another unit. :) If you broke that cable, then it is...

Tou need to have the Noogie microSD card inserted into your Nook to see all the partitions. For instructions how to create one, look here: http://blog.the-ebook-reader.com/2012/05/02/how-to-backup-and-restore-nook-glow-and-nook-simple-touch/ Oh, and if anybody will have a problem with mounting...

I have played a bit with the most known screensaver from Nook Glowlight and combined it with an ad of its predecessor. Resolution is 600x800px. By the way, can anyone post the screensaver packages from the new Nook Glowlight? The one I edited came from a printscreen of this site...

Open menu -> tools, scroll all the way down to 'root explorer', and tap that (not the 'on' switch on the right, but the inscription on the left). Then you should see menu with "Mount R/W" position. Tap that and change "system" to RW. Edit: This works for ES File Explorer 3.0.7.0 version...

Yes, it does. But you should read this first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2131971 , as there is one inconspicuous option there, that should not be touched, because it leads to automatic, inevitable factory reset.

Well... It is not so hard to google those apps you need. And it is not "just a list of junk software". It is a list of apps versions that do work on NST.

Well, if the system is the same, as in the Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight, then list of working apps from this post may be helpful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49470538&postcount=1 . And, if I remember correctly, Kindle app needs an active internet connection to work...

As far as I know (or, as I understand the bits of knowledge I managed to gather) it is combination of software and hardware issues (or should I say "reasons"?). 1. Software part is that lack of access to the full refresh rate setting in OF. 2. Hardware part is a tiny potentiometer hidden on the...

This seems to be quite normal in all NSTwGs I have seen. There is no way to set full refresh rate in original firmware unfortunately. To change that setting you have to root your device. (NookManager is the way to go: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2040351 ). It is a simple...

Yes, the idea is common, but it seems that in NSTwG B&N have used material more susceptible to damage than its competitors. That kind of damage may have a few different causes. You can choose between scratching, pressing or bending the device. That last option will cause serious, long cracks...

The known issue that is specific to NSTwG is "screen tear". It is light leakage through scratches or torn gaps in light dispersing layer. It looks like this: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-rCLwlgMFtfY/U-dJe53T9zI/AAAAAAAAFcc/GKvfiL2P_lk/s800/IMGP9221.JPG or...

I think that there might be software to blame. My Motorola Defy also had that sort of weird battery behaviour after one of factory resets. Since then I have to install a patch written by one of XDA members every time I make a reset. But it works. Unfortunately I have no idea if it can be helpful...

... Or run Nook Color Tools (install it, if need to - quite useful one to have!) and go to All Settings->Developement->Manage applications, touch menu button on statusbar, filter->All. Then find your default app, tap it, and choose "clear defaults".

Try installing one of those fixes from the TWRP recovery level: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34590229&postcount=1 It worked for me ("battery_fix_for_1500mah.zip" to be specific) every time my Defy+ refused to charge its battery. And yes - even after using McGyver method.

Thank You. I've read about Your program, but since I could not even unlock the screen or get past registration wizard (when trying to get that unit to factory state) I was unable to use it.

Unfortunately I couldn't find any camera able (tried mobile phone, point'n'shoot, DSLR...) to detect IR in their stock configuration (and messing up with disassembling the sensor filters seemed as not worth the case). I ended up buying another NSTG with shattered eink screen and salvaging its...

Hi, I have recently bough a Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight (BNRV350). Used, no guarantee. It looks fine (has only a minor scratch on the light dispersing layer). Problem is - the lower half of the touch sensors give misplaced readings. For example - during the registration process I cannot get...

How long did you wait between appearing of the "Please manually boot up this device" message to booting? I usually leave the phone for few minutes and it eventually reboots on it's own all the way to the stock, usable system and Android configuration wizard. I have never even tried to do this...

Try installing fix for your battery capacity from this thread. It helped me once when battery was not charging.

If you used too high version of original SBF, it may be impossible to downgrade. Compare your SBF version with list from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11588065&postcount=1 .

remix96: Have you tried to run RSDLite on Windows 8 in compatibility mode with Windows XP? On Windows 7 64bit it works perfectly.

Thanks! I will consider procedure from the first link (warning mentioned there made me rethink my needs). The second one is one of the first things I've read before even trying OC. Worth mentioning anyway. :) BTW, I still did not succeed with mounting anything via OTG. Tried about dozen...

I am no developer neither, even a pure noob on XDA, but what you described may be connected to aging battery. If it is original one and was heavily used - it may be just chemically dying. Take it out and inspect if it is swollen. Mine original one is a bit, and it shows some loss of capacity and...

CM11-20140307, OTG - gives current withount mounting Hi! First of all - I would like to thank all you people creating this ROMs, fantastic work! I encountered a problem that I failed to resolve with my google search skills. [ I am running cm-11-20140307-NIGHTLY-mb526.zip (2.6.32.9 Kernel)...
