install the zoomboard v.2.00 then when you have at least 4 DAYS LEFT, uninstall/ update to v. 2.01. when you have four days left, and it has been more than 7 days/expired the previous zoomboard has been uninstalled, again, replace 2.01 with 2.00 then youll have 0 days of trial . im assuming(cuz i actually hard reset my pda cuz i felt like it) that this is unlimmited. pm me if this is true. if you cant find a v. 2.00, ill post it. just message me.
tell me if this actually worked or msg me. im actually doing it as we speak.
i think this goes the same for the rest of the vito products.
also message me if it did work.
so whats the point of this?//
showing us how to hack the program and not pay for it?
if it is...then its not allowed
i discovered this by accident. dont know if it works tho.
hey. theres the pain of reinstaliing it and shutting it down. i WOULD PAY to get that pain out
and this is trial mode which can be extended. you probably have to pay for more features
they made this trial free but still left a glitch here. I am happy that someone might inform Vito about this and make their trial versions more "secure"

So why don't you then?
uhh im not rich.
and i dont guarantee it wont work tho you tell me before anything happens.again, just some really weird thing that i just discovered. itll probably have some weird effect on the phone or something and dont ask what it may be.
well just wanted to share what i have accidentally discovered. if you dont like it then fine with me. Im cool with me just having this unlimited paid service which i got by accident, and not sharing it with others if thats the rulez.
ive got more important issues such as this:
Ive copyndpasted the storage card folder into the start menu and dissapeard. i wonder why. can someone post a link on how to "fix" this so that i could access the storage card directly from the start menu?

Seriously..
what is the deal with the phone just randomly shutting off. I've read the posts and am on my THIRD phone!!
I thought I had one the "Captivate Lottery" because it wasn't shutting down for a few weeks... then one day, BAM!
Then the next day, BAM... now it seems like it may go for a few days, then shut off a bunch again, then go for a few more days then shutdown again.
Now, I'm happy if it doesn't shutdown 3 or 4 times a day.
I'm past my 30 days.. what the hell should I do?
I understand your frustration because it is, in fact, a lottery. I won on the third try, but it obviously will take you more effort.
The only app that has caused problems for some is SetCPU. I suspect that certain settings were mis-managed by the users and that the app itself is o.k.
What should you do? If you purchased your unit at an AT&T corporate store, see if the Warranty Department will permit you to once again exchange the phone at the store. If you have multiple stores in the area, try another one. Maybe their batch is more stable. Under any circumstance, do not settle. Get a unit that works to your satisfaction.
Thanks for your kind words... I have a co-worker that has the same phone and his has NEVER had a shutdown.. all 3 of mine started shutting down after a couple of weeks.
My next question since I've had to return/reset this phone so many times I am sick of having to re-download/install/configure it over and over again.
What is the best/easiest way to restore all your settings and apps again after returning it?
I think you will have to call ATT and ask for a replacement. Since you are past your thirty day limit, you will be offered a refurbished phone. This is the process im going through right now. I went to an ATT store and they told me since im past my 30 they cant do anything. Only way was to call ATT warrantee

You're in luck. Download Titanium Backup from the Market. After that's accomplished, you need to understand that the default backup location for files is internal to the phone. The Catch-22 is that you'd be returning the phone...along with the backup! Here's how you can backup everything and retain your "stuff" for restoration to your new phone (you'll need to purchase an external SD card if you don't already have one installed. Inexpensive.)
Goal: Instruct Titanium Backup to automatically store your backup files on an external SD card so that restoring the backups in the event you need to exchange your phone becomes a convenient task.
Resolution: In Titanium's preferences change the backup folder name to sd/TitaniumBackup, as the default TitaniumBackup folder is, by default, internal to your phone. Then create your "portable" backup now to be domiciled on your external SD card.
Using Titanium Backup:
First, go to Settings, Applications, Development and check USB debugging. TB needs this.
In Titanium Backup select Backup/Restore then press the menu button. Select Batch then the "RUN" button you'll pick is the one that reads "Backup all user apps + system data." Then press Select all, then press Run the batch operation. After it completes the job use a File Manager (like Astro) to make sure that the backup is, in fact, on the external SD card.
Remove the external SD card and await the arrival of your new phone. Once received, install the SD card in your new phone and restore the backup.
Maybe I've gotten very lucky - I started getting "Sleeping Death" a few days after I have received the phone.
Rooted, Applied the Voodoo Fix (which uses a vanilla kernel I believe?) and it seems to have fixed it.. Hasn't done it in a week now.
So I'll keep my fingers crossed that this is software and not hardware related.
Nice Jack! You rock!
I'll think I'll follow your advise. Maybe then I wont be as upset when I return my phone for the 25th time..
I hate to say it, great phone when it works but this is the buggiest hardware I've seen. Imagine if this was going on with the iphone, we'd all be getting new phone's and there would be some huge news media about it.
I wonder if all the people with the custom ROM's have the same issue?
Got my replacement in the mail, it looks brand new to me. So far so good for the day, installed LauncherPro, AIM, MSN, and probably installing games later. It has been fine. The old phone I am sending back shut off pretty much every time I tried picking it up to check the time about 8-10 times a day.

When I first got my third phone (the stable one) my heart skipped a beat each time I looked at it, worried that I'd find it turned off. After a while you learn to take it for granted that it's "solid." Hope your good luck continues.

Thanks, hopefully it will be fine. Luckily somehow I ended up with 7 screen protectors (3 from ATT, 2 Bodyguards, and 2 from Stealth guards when they were giving them away + shipping cost) I will put one on it later today maybe and since I have so many, it won't really matter if, hopefully not, I have to send it back later or take it off.
I was all happy for awhile but that ended. Now its about 6 or more times a day.
I am tring different settings and now a different launcher to see if its something to do with the stock software installed.
I am intrigued with the voodoo hack but I am not sure I want to go that far yet. I respond if I find anything that is successful.

Don't waste your time. It's hardware-based. Anyone going down the road of trying to assess which software is causing the shutdowns is playing with themselves. Well, at least you don't have to look your best.
Exchange it. Your other alternative is to...exchange it. In other words, (well, you get the picture).
I agree, trade it in. I have had this new one for a week and no shutdowns.

Congratulations. Wise decision, positive result. Can't ask for anything more.
Well, This is interesting...
So after my rant on this exact topic, I decided to give one last thing a try.
I changed my default launcher to launcher pro...
Its been almost a day with no shutdowns (it was doing it 6-7 times a day).
If I make it through today with no shutdowns, I'll post again.
Wish me luck!

Hi 88VGA,
did you return the phone to samsung or att? i spoke to samsung support yesterday and they gave me an RMA. just wondering if i'll get a replacement or they're going to try and "fix" mine
I have a dead phone I'm toying with. It's not on with the network. This is my first attempt at rooting etc. I would like to just have it as a sort of game/fun/toy phone. I have a G1 from Tmobile that I use and not going to try and root until I get a new one, then perhaps also have that as a game/fun/toy phone. Anyway, I have a Sprint Hero and how I've been getting apps and such on it is by swapping SD cards and doing a back up or connect via wi fi from one of the sites with a list of freeware to download. I want to get rid of the apps that I don't want/need for this phone. I'm not going to use it to call people so I would like that off too if I could. I would like to keep the wi fi though. I am new to this and trying to figure everything out. I just got busybox and rom manager on the phone. So, now what? How do I get those annoying stock apps I don't want/need? I really don't need to change the whole face of it, just those apps to be removed and I'll be happy with it. Thanks
by the way
I forgot the build.
I'm on 2.31.651.7
rooted from one click that I found from the unlockr
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Hero_CDMA#Miscellaneous_Simple_How-To.27s.
Please search around, most of the common questions, more often than not, have already been answered.
ok thanks. it's just so time consuming to be sitting on the computer trying to search and read through so much. I don't sit on my butt all day staring at a screen. I have a baby and any screen time is when he's sleeping. It's just easier to ask and hope for an answer. I'll look through the links later. Thanks.
I also want it as some type of "toy" for him to play with instead of taking MY phone! lol. I have toddler lock on it and he seems to like it. But I don't really want him to have it until he stops "chewing" on it. My G1 case cover is ruined from him. lol. oh well. He likes to play with phones because everyone else does. They start early now. I downloaded all sort of kid games so when that day comes, I can say, here you go when he takes mine!
But I'm lost on figuring out if there is a program I need? Or if the superoneclick has it in the app. I have it on our Windows computer and I'm currently on our Mac. And that computer is so slow and now I have to spend the time to try and clean IT out. Its running Vista and I have a copy of 7 but I don't feel like dealing with all of that. sigh.
Does tethering work with phone to phone? Like connect my non network phone to my G1 for internet like when we go on vacation and my nonsmart phone partner wants to use the net and so do I, that we can share. I'm guessing USB cable would do that? I don't know, there is just so much to read up on for a newbe trying to figure it out. Time for sleep now.

Well, nobody around here sits around on their butts staring at the screen, waiting for people like you to ask questions... so that they can answer. If you think of this as "Customer Service", think again. Everyone here has primary jobs, they do this because they like it and are passionate about it.
Having said that, nobody is saying "No" to answering questions... just try searching and looking up the obvious links, first.
Geeze. sorry. I just thought Maybe someone else maybe already had done it and point me in the right direction. I try searching and can't find anything in what I'm trying to do. So a here, try this and this and such would be nice. Thought I give a bg on what I wanted to do with it. And I'm still new and get lost around here. Tech langauage changes every 6 months along with the phones. I see "flash" and I think of the Adobe program or the flash on a camera. So forgive me. And I guess nevermind.
I agree with the others here. There is a wealth of tutorials available, and when used will achieve your goal of a "toy". However, I will help you out by providing a framework of things you will need to do. Bear in mind you will need to do the searching though. This way you will learn more about the phone, and you will have a better sense of what to do if something doesn't go right, etc.
First, you need to have your phone rooted. Rooting allows you full access over the phone. Most rooting utilities will install "Busybox", a set of binaries that grants you the ability to use special commands. Next, you will want to install a custom Recovery image. There are two mainstream ones available: Amon-RA and ClockworkMod. Either is fine. The recovery image allows you to make backups of your phone, install new ROMs, and reset settings, among other things. After the recovery image is installed, you will want to search for a list of "safe to delete apps".
I hope this helps you somewhat. If you have anymore questions feel free to PM me.

I am hoping someone can help me with this. I had my nook rooted, market, youtube and gingerbread keyboard installed and working. different boot screen flashed. i plugged it in to my pc here at work to charge. when i unplugged it, it was at the startup screen with the android. The old boot screen is back. All apps are removed. it appears to still be rooted, but I cant bring up keyboard at all. All my apps and everything I installed are gone. I don't understand what happened to it. Any one have any idea? Thanks!
A wizard did it.
Seriously others have reported similar anomalies The thing to do is wipe and start over. I suggest you get titanium back up so you don't have to completely start over next time.
I figured thats what I would have to do. I don't think i would have needed to, had I not installed the gingerboard keyboard. I was just wondering if anyoen else experienced, perhaps we could pinpoint the problem and figure out what to do to avoid it. Worse part is some one wanted to see it after I told them not to waste thier money on an ipad, they come over and it doesnt work at all. Well it worked, but just as an e-reader, bleh who bought it for that, lol.

Dropbox works very well indeed. Awesome Drop is also very good. While it offers no online storage, it doesn't require an account either. However, neither wanted to work without an External SD card. Haven't looked into they wouldn't use the internal storage. Anyone know?
Possibly it updated to 1.01? Mine was act a little strange, then all of a sudden it updated to 1.01 (even with the script in place to disable over the air updates).
I also had some sporadic reboots. Just re-rooted after the 1.01 update and it seems more stable. I also installed an uptime widget to monitor and it's been up now for 11h 30m..
In a couple more weeks it won't matter as the 2.3 build continues to progress..

Hey can you let me know if your Read to Me functionality is working on 1.0.1?
Im on 1.0.0 still because the read to me doesn't work with the 1.0.1 update.
I also get sporadic reboots now that im rooted.

It was already updated. I am not sure what happened, but Its up and running again. This thing is awesome, even with the barnes and noble rom, and restrictions. It plays every game I throw at it, just as good as my Incredible. Most apps fit the screen well and its only going to get better. best 250 I ever spent. I literally carry this thing everywhere I go!

Another data point: got my Nook Color December 25. It was version 1.0.0. Updated to 1.0.1 and rooted with auto-nooter-2.12.25 on December 26. All went well (including using the Shop, though I didn't buy anything) until last night. Entered the shop and got the infamous "authentication problem" message, after which my nook reset itself. When it was finished, the green 'n' icon in the lower left was on (which is odd, since it appears to have updated from 1.0.1 to 1.0.1).
When the dust had settled, the device was still rooted (I still have Market, still have NookColor Tools, still have SuperUser), but everything I'd put on since rooting was gone, and all my settings (wifi key, barnes and noble account, gmail account) were gone.
I'm reasonably familiar with linux (though only a little bit specifically with android), so I'll be happy to poke around to see if I can find anything....
Possible reason?

No, that would be 1.0.1. Android Police tend to be late on the uptick on real news, and make up the rest...
I've never done this before (did it a few times with old omnia i900 and WP6.5, never android) so I need as much help and advice you can give me
I know I need Odin, Kies, a rom and a kernel(??) and drivers. Found all the links from the video /watch?v=bd1zwH2-kX0
If there's a video on youtube showing everything that has good quality you can just redirect me there.
Anyways, my mom uses this phone so I need it to have as much battery life and ease of access possible so which ROMs do you recommend?
I also need to know what I need to have to flash the phone (USB cable and something else software wise, maybe) and what are the risks of flashing it. The reason I'm flashing it is because it feels slow for some reason and it keeps vibrating all the time. Does it need an sdcard because I don't have one.
Sorry if I violated some rules posting this. Thanks.
strange to see you struggle with the same phone as i am the same day on an old phone like this, im trying to get google play to work on it, but it seems the custom backup installed rom is just messed up, google play just give blank screens or some weird errors, the internet and other things work, but https also messed up on some pages, and the date is set correctly =/ which is what usually is wrong on my pc when https is messed up
so im also looking for advice on a custom rom, the lighter its on resources the better, is it also possible to use ROEHSOFT_RAM_Expander on this phone? is the kernel limit of swap ram a software thing or a hardware think?

I haven't tried anything today. My mom just got the phone today so I don't really want to brick/mess something up.
I tried only installing few apps like Facebook, Opera, Chrome, FB Messenger and Viber. Some worked right away, for some I had to download different apks because play store doesn't work. I haven't even tried rooting it. It could be rooted using kingoroot, I might try it.
I noticed that play store works only when you want to update an app. It didn't crash when it redirected me to YT app and FB app update.

i installed kitkat4.4 from this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtYI91-S8Tk
google play worked until it updated then the blanck screen stuff started to happen all over again, but at least the kitkat version does not eat up all the internal storage like the rom i had from stock, so it only uses 20% vs 80% 90% so for that reason ill keep it until i see a better alternative on the forum, may play with it again but out of time.

Did you do everything like from the video or did you do something that is usual thing to do before flashing that a noob like me would miss?
Have you tried flashing it again but this time without updating the app?
Also did you use sdcard for this or via usb on PC?
this is the way to go for me, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2698533 this one works wonderfully
it has chrome and flash working, it also works as smooth as silk vs the stock or the kitkat 4.4 roms, so don't waste your time and trying to get the other ones working.
let me know how it goes.
Edit: replaced old post to avoid more headaches old post in quotes
1- ! meesed up the phone the first time then i fixed it with oddin and the files here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2560314
2-then installed using the youtube video as a guide, i didn't do as the description said but rather did exactly what i saw in the video, the guy dees a bad jobin the description, he mentions step (5 - Select the vM00CWMv3f) but in the video he never touches it, so dont search for it or download it just ignore that step or do exacly as the video, use J K L to play pause advance or back the video and make sure you mirror him xD
if you do the odding thing your phone will be like the default mode, unrooted and so but no need to root it to install the rom of the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtYI91-S8Tk
PD : google play is still a messy mess with its blank screen with the kitkat version of the video , i uninstall/downgrade google_play_services and the google_play_store, then i open google play and accept the termns and install my intended app with the old google store, then google updates an installs its bugged app all over again without me wanting, then i go uninstall or downgrade the two apps all over again and install my next app with the old google play, its morroning all afternoon already ^_^
wasn't technology supposed to make life easier?
so where did you get stuck? no one of the experts will recommend a rom? T_T
PD2: did not use an external sdcard, only the internal, and i used the usb cable with the oddin program, then after the odding ting, i did use the cable to upload files to the root, then i did what the video shows without cables or rooting
ive send a pm with my whatsapp and skype hit me there if you still strugle, im online 4 t o5 more hours

Why is the notification bar no the bottom on the CM7 one you sent?
Thanks for helping me out. I might try today flashing it but still without sdcard.
BTW if you try flashing it again you might try recording it with an HD camera to see the full process on how to do it. I could also edit it and add annotations and you could post it to youtube if you want. If you do that please make sure it's bright enough in the room

BTW if you try flashing it again you might try recording it with an HD camera to see the full process on how to do it. I could also edit it and add annotations and you could post it to youtube if you want. If you do that please make sure it's bright enough in the room

if you don't have stock rom or if the installation goes bad, or the installed rom does not work properly, then Restore Stock ROM/Unbrick, and then try again, i found that doing this step before trying a new rom is the best, else wifi or other tings fail. here is the Restore Stock ROM/Unbrick thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560314
just show your mom this forum thread before you try anything with her device, remember i was ok with hammering my device, so i didn't care if i killed it, but it works very nice with any of those rom, the guys that worked on those know their stuff!!, and is probably worth the effort flashing the device, also leave your sim chip in when doing the rom flashing, it seems the provider sends the configuration automatically to the device when it starts the new installed rom, if not then be prepared to search the internet for the apn settings of your cellphone company or to call them and ask.
I know the APN settings for my provider. My mom doesn't speak english so it would look like chinese for her.
Thanks for all the links. She doesn't seem to have too much problems right now. Did installing these ROMs make your vibrating to stop?

this phones vibration is dead, and it didn't get it working with any of the roms I've tried, so wont be able to answer you on that, this phones google play didn't work, not even with the stock rom, so that is why i started to flash it with the downloadable roms on this forum. Hyperion and the KitKat Smart R2 roms are really nice roms, i would say for a woman/girl use the 'KitKat Smart R2' rom and for a man/boy use the hyperion, the hyperion have a more drone electronic type theme, the phone will say with a robotic voice "ill be back" when you shut it down ^_^
lol @ hyperion.
It should say "get to the choppa"
Thanks for every advice if my mom decides the software is unbearable on the phone I will flash it.
Does play store work on hyperion/kitkat smart s2?
