Well just to poke the bear, I thought I'd throw an observation in there. One of the unique features of the Prime's OE GPS spec. was the addition of reception of the Russian Glonass GPS satellites. Only a few devices have these receivers. the Prime being one of them. In all the previous...

I did a new install to SD card with the CM7.2RC Most things work as should. Biggest issue is that after some point, the unit will not accept a charge. I plug the cable in (NC Cable/charger) and the light on the cable goes straight to green. Leaving it plugged in for awhile doesn't change...

No. 10 char. ---------- Post added at 01:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ---------- I see the change by adding the word :D . I still don't see how 4.5 meters from the Dual unit is 'shocking' bad accuracy.

Bob- You do realize that 4.5 meters is approximately 15 feet; which would be 1/3 the minimum you got with the beer can chicanery. Indoors (where GPS has very little signal), I'd say that +/- 15 feet isn't so bad, actually pretty darn good.

I was having endless Netflix issues (CM7) and updates that wouldn't work from the Android Market; Then I noticed that Netflix was available on the Amazon market, unistalled, then got the free app from Amazon, and all's been well ever since. Maybe it will work for you?

Google's WiFi location info + WiFi downloaded Emphmeris data tells the GPS chip which satellites should be overhead based on time & location...allowing the receiver to look first for those satellites that should be overhead--speeding up initial or 'cold' lock. I didn't spell out the details but...

Actually ATP has one of the newest GPS reception chips out there, has both US and Russian GPS satellite reception, and reading through Erusmans (sp?) modifications, proves that with a decent antenna design the thing does VERY well. And my point was valid that WiFi on or off GPS signal strength...

I took your post to read that the ATP GPS reception signal strength would be affected by having your WiFi turned on. The 'WiFi' portion of (a)ssisted GPS simply tells the GPS processor which satellites should be overhead in the 'general' area location determined by WiFi location. After that...

So what did you prove, besides the fact that you have no idea how GPS works ?

...."we need sheilded grounded cable - coax" ... of the correct impedance. Probably 50 Ohms, but I'm not sure, and not all coax is the same impedance.

I have one, but these style antenna's are 'Active' or powered; they run off of a small DC voltage supplied by the 'receiver'. Since the TP's GPS antenna is a passive device, connecting one of those to the path of connection for the OE antenna, they won't work. If there is an alternate...

I get what you are saying, and I agree wholeheartedly that the subject has been beaten to a pulp. I didn't start this thread, somebody else did, and they asked a few questions. Folks (like myself) felt the need to answer those questions. Make it so this particular question can't come up...

I really do like the Asus TP, it's a real nice tablet. I have looked at the Tab, and I just don't seem to like the thing. Yes, I do plan on purchasing an alternative. I have and use my Nook Color a lot, and with CM7 it's been a great little tablet. I want a bigger screen, and a functional...

Use your imagination! Think of places where you might want to know where you are but there is no wifi or cell coverage. Think of things you would want to do with that information. Think of reasons for wanting that information integrated within a device you use for other purposes (ie: using...

Regarding your title question.... To you... Not much. To others... I can't say, but for me, I put off my purchase directly because this feature is not available/functional. 'always' = o'rly? As it remains, now, yes, but AFTER ASUS TOOK THAT FEATURE OFF OF THE SPECIFICATION LIST....AFTER...

Just trying to be helpful :D Mess of technical crap from the 'car charger' thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16505252&postcount=47 I spent half a day measuring crap to satisfy my curiosity. the reuslt: B&N should have standardized with normal (i-device) charging standards

:rolleyes: right back at ya! :eek: :D Your Apple unit is rated at 2.1A, but will only 'put out' whatever the NC draws from it, up to a theoretical 2.1A (I never measured over ~1850mA during any of my testing). Have you measured the charge rate on your NC? How? Did you load the...

Chargers (wall or vehicle) made for Apple products will only charge at the slower rate. The NC looks at the resistance on the USB data lines to see if it should charge at the fast rate. The resistance set on chargers for Apple products is different than for the NC. The only chargers I've come...

I remember that ad when it was 'in play'... oh, and thanks, I got it.

Easy on the name calling, buddy! I ain't no engineer, I work for a living! :eek: I take a lot of things apart and stuff :D I looked at the pictures of a Prime taken apart, and didn't see the familiar little white cables that would lead to remote antennas for WiFi, Bluetooth, etc, there could...

The 'antenna' is most likely just a simple trace on the circuit board, along an edge--which should allow it to get signal from the front and sides as well as through the back, but with reduced signal.

I'd agree that it seems that the receiver is the biggest variable between various 'Primes'; I have at least 10 or so GPS units, and there are times when they all seem to 'see' the same sats and get the same-ish signal level, other times not so much. There are also times where my most sensitive...

It's the way the GPS system works. Once a receiver system is 'locked' onto one or more satellites, it now 'knows' what satellites to look for. The satellites are constantly moving overhead. The 'assisted' data is basically a database-primer for the GPS to know which of the satellites it...

Not all of us out here have the ability (time/resources/skill) to build. Some of us are content to wait very patiently for when projects are 'ready' for 'prime time' as it were. Sometimes little updates about features, success's, setbacks and failures are great to hear. I do appreciate all...

Gave up on Android Market, got it from Amazon I'm running a really old Nightly (~75ish)... anyways, Netflix was working forever, but I had to continually hit 'cancel' on the new update reminders. Then it updated and worked for a few weeks. Lastly it wouldn't update (not avail for device), and...

Continuing on now that I finally purchased a B&N Nook Color Car Charging kit :( Stock B&N Nook COLOR wall charger: 0 Ohms Belkin 12V I-Pad USB Vehicle Charger: 53 Ohms Harbor Freight 12V USB Charger: 53 Ohms B&N Nook COLOR Car Charger 0 Ohms 0 Ohms? I thought...

What about this combo:

I'm not sure what the low battery voltage cutoff is. I'm guessing around 3000 mV--I could be wrong here, but for the moment, let's say it is. let's say full charge = 4200 mV let's say minimum charge = 3000 mV Range of charge = 4200 - 3000 = 1200 mV 15% charge remaining = 15% * 1200 mV = 180...

It is far easier to send a PM directly to the Moderator of a forum than it is to try and use the 'Report' tool... I don't wish to use the Report tool that often, but the steps required just make me not want to report anything.... I hope Management here believes we are trying to help them make a...

Mike-your link is to this page :D

Through my own experimentation (see the 'Car Charger' thread on the Accessories subforum) I found that the NC needs to see shorted data pins to allow high-rate charging. iPad 2A chargers use the resistance across data pins method--this does not work for NC (it charges at the normal, slower...

I guess there was too much up there to read. Spec's for the NC are 2.1A. If the charger isn't designed for the Nook Color (ie: designed for iPad/iPad2) it probably (99%) won't charge at the high rate of the Barnes & Noble chargers. All USB chargers will charge the NC at the regular 500mA USB...

On the previous page of this thread was this post, the linked thread in that post has very good information about what's really necessary using an Micro-SD card for an operating system--

I forgot to come back and reports the results I got the other day... Nothing majorly different happened when using the 3 chargers on my NC with a 30% available charge. I turned the NC on and using Beautiful Widgets flashlight (turns brightness up to full and displays 100% white on the...

So, your post pushed me over the edge. I knew I needed to just cut a cable apart, break open a few chargers and get the gear out and measure stuff--so after your push, I jumped :D First thing to measure was the resistance across the data pins (the center two conductors on normal USB...

I have the Belkin I-Pad Micro-Charger. I used it connected to a bench power supply as well as using Battery Monitor Widget (set to update every 10 seconds instead of default 1 min.). It was obvious comparing the Belkin to the B&N wall charger; using Battery Monitor Widget, that the Belkin was...

Tech spec's are one thing; however there is some technology that is in the B & N chargers that has yet to be identified that 'detects' some unknown parameter before it will allow the Nook Color to use the 'higher rate' of charging available. I have an 5V 2.1A IPAD charging adapter and using the...

I'm still learning, but it seems that devices that use a Micro-USB device as a USB host seem to need a special type of cable; usually referred to as an OTG Host cable. This may not be necessary with the NC; don't know yet. This is all new to me, so I'm learning as I can.

The first post of this thread details exactly how to install an overclock kernel.

I bought the same Belkin iPad charger from Best Buy. Rated at 2.1A. I used it with the B & N USB cable that came with my Nook Color. I used the 'Battery Monitor' software mentioned earlier here or on another post to compare charge current readings against the stock B&N wall charger/cable...

It's a known CM7 issue. Not a high priority at the moment.

I have been using this SD card setup since the day it was made available. My CM7 on SD doesn't ever FC on me. It is speedy when running OC @ 1.0Ghz and other than me knowing it's running off of SD, it runs as flawlessly as if it were on EMMC. I ran a performance Quadrant of 2200 for kicks. I...

You would be looking for the thread (under android development) CM7 USER THREAD ....the 1st post contains a lot of useful information, including a link to the thread that contain information for downloading and installing. That thread is called the CM7 DEVELOPMENT THREAD; Read the first...

You copied the link text from somewhere in a forum, this added "..." in the middle of your link. That won't work Your link can't have "..." in the middle of it: http://nook.handhelds.ru/sdimage/generic-sdcard-v1.1.img.gz my link shows the same "..." but the actual link is correct. In the...

Google 'A-Team' (original tv series). I think that avatar is one of the most fitting I've ever known on a forum :cool: Mad Murdock- I've been using your mod as it came out with RC4. Everything works as I'd naturally expect it too--functionality, placement, menus, etc... a huge accomplishment...

I had forgotten that on verygreen's SD card method, one has to unpack the ZIP file and then copy uimage from Dalingrin's OC update, and NOT to use the update.zip with VeryGreens update/recovery. I went back and the OC 0331 works fine if you copy the uimage over to the SD card and re-start the...

Was anybody else having install issues with the 'SD' version of the 3/31 Kernel? EDIT: Following the directions in VeryGreens' SD card thread cured me of the results of not remembering what I had done correctly twice before.

Where is the setting to sleep wifi when screen is off? I keep seeing a mention of this but for the life of me, can't find it anywhere--I know it was removed earlier in the nightly's....

I was trying to instal 'update-CM7-dalingrin-OC-sd-033111.zip', the process stopped at: inflating: system/lib/modules/cifs.ko updating kernel creating symlinks and updating permissions /etc/init.d/s00initialinstall: /tmp/updatescript: line 1 : syntax error: unexpected word (expecting ")")

In the CM7 developers thread, 1st post has a link to install instructions.
