Yes, my HD+ does that also.

Yes, "copying of hosts file failed". But wait! I just tried it again and it worked! Why would it fail 10 times and then suddenly work? I didn't reboot or change any setting. Very strange...

Yes, I granted AdAway root permission. It's in the list of root apps in the OS settings.

I can't get AdAway to work on LineageOS (Android 7.1.1). It can't write the hosts file for some reason. I tried all 3 suggested locations. Is it some weird security feature in LineageOS which is blocking AdAway?

That worked! Thanks! This time there were no error messages during the OS install (and the install took longer to complete, which was encouraging). When booting after install, it took 5 minutes to get past the line/circle animation. By the way, I had a really hard time entering TWRP. First, I...

Clean install from stock.

Yes, I used sdcard-reco-ovation.img

I attempted to install lnos_ovation-ota-NOF26W.170226.zip using twrp-3.0.1-0, but when booting it just shows the LineageOS line/circle animation forever (at least 30 minutes before I gave up). The install did print a couple of "unknown command" error messages, although it still completed. Is...

I have a Fire Stick running the latest stock OS. It goes to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity, which is extremely annoying. Everything I've read says this is controlled by the sleep_timeout setting (default 20 minutes), but it has no effect. Maybe they changed something in newer versions...

What is the password?

EDIT: Switched to a different USB port and now it's working. Thor2 is crashing on me. As soon as the phone reboots, thor2 crashes. The log file follows. Any ideas? [08:10:10.035] D_MSG : THOR2 1.8.2.18 [08:10:10.035] D_MSG : Built for Windows @ 13:36:46 Jun 16 2015 [08:10:10.051] D_MSG : Thor2...

Some good news: I upgraded my 521 from 8.1 to Windows 10 (10586.29), and it didn't disturb the unlocked bootloader / mass storage mode.

Yes, works on my 521. I can't root due to not having a supported FFU, but file access is great. First thing I did was replace the hosts file.

I applied boot unlock to my 521, but unfortunately it doesn't boot any more. It goes to a "sad face" almost immediately. Is there a way to recover? Edit: Ok, I see that there's a "restore bootloader" option. Reflashing now... Edit2: Recovery successful. Edit3: Boot unlock successful. The...

Anyone know whether the Fire supports charging in host mode?

No problem, I was just curious. The Amazon help ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201540210 ) includes the statement: "Note: Bluetooth microphones, microphone-enabled headsets, and low energy devices are not supported." Hmm...

Incidentally, the dpi numbers in the OS are wrong, in the event that some program used them instead of assuming "square pixels". A program would calculate an aspect ratio a hair smaller than 16:9 using those numbers.

What headset are you using? I have a Logitech H800, and it plays music but doesn't work with Skype.

It didn't jump out at me, but yes, the screen is definitely wider than 1024/600. Maybe it is 16:9. I did notice the weird scrolling. Perhaps it's refreshed in some interlaced fashion?

After installing a print service...how do you enable it? I don't see any printer option in the settings.

1836x1280

I too would like to run the nook reader in CM. Some of the decent alternatives include fbreader, alreader, coolreader, moonreader, and aldiko (don't judge them by the defaults, which range from bad to completely insane). My current method of selecting books is to use ES File Explorer to locate...

Workaround: change "keep WiFi on during sleep" option from "always" (the default) to "never". What I don't understand is why everyone doesn't have this problem. Or maybe they do?

The reboots seem to happen only under this condition: * WiFi is on * tablet is sleeping (screen off) (The reboot doesn't happen right away. I'm not sure of the time, but within two hours). No reboot if tablet isn't sleeping. No reboot if WiFi is off while tablet is sleeping.

I don't see any errors in the dmesg log.

The SD card is a brand new sandisk class 4. How can I verify that it's an IO error and not something else?

I installed cm-10.1-20130904-UNOFFICIAL-ovation-sdcard.zip, nothing else installed, and with the machine just sitting in standby, it rebooted into stock. Isn't that strange? The only thing I did was turn on WiFi and opened the browser to test it. But after rebooting, CM came up again and has...

The Nexus 4 is actually 1280x768, not 1280x720. Anyway, I agree that it has become a marketing game, with 2560x1440 and higher phone displays already planned. It's questionable even if it doesn't cost a penny, because those extra pixels slow down the screen rendering.

I have two Nook HD+s and I noticed that white looks different on them. The color temperature is different. Is this something that can be tweaked?

Had my first crash/reset when receiving a cell call after owning the phone for 1 week. Is there a way to view a crash history so I can keep tabs on this?

The Win8 file explorer often hangs when using a Windows Phone 8 device connected via USB. And it's slow when it doesn't permanently hang. Is this a bug in Windows Phone 8 or should I try to access it with some other software?

I don't think scrolling has anything to do with the storage (everything is in RAM after all). It's like some internal Android graphics setting got changed somehow. Could an ordinary app make a permanent change like that?

Using stock Nook HD+...everything was working fine for a few weeks, but now scrolling (in firefox, chrome, etc) is jerky. Killing apps didn't help. Rebooting didn't help. Any ideas?
