My NC was updated OTA this morning to 1.0.1. I noticed after the update that the Read to Me functionality doesn't work. I get an error and have to force quit and even if the book loads up correctly, it doesn't read. Have already checked volume levels and such.
Here's the error:
"Activity Fava Book Reader (in application Fava Book Reader) is not responding."
Anyone else seeing this or know about this issue?
I've been having the same problem. Rooted on 1.0.1. I saw another post for a non-rooted NC that was having the same issues too.

I'm rooted on 1.0.1 using Auto-nooter and Read To Me works fine.
I'm on 1.0.1 and rooted with Auto-nooter 2.12.18 - Read To Me doesn't work anymore for me either. Any ideas?

1.0.1 broke my read me functionality BEFORE I even rooted. That's why i've avoided it. My kids like using that.

When your read to me function broke, had you side loaded the 1.0.1 update or was it the ota? Mine was sideloaded and I'm thinking that the 1.0.1 update file was some how corrupted when I downloaded it. On Christmas day, when a ton of people got a NC for Christmas and bogged down the BN website, is when downloaded the update file. So I might wipe and use a different source or a fresh download from BN.

mine was OTA. i hadn't even rooted it yet. i was just playing with the stock device and then it updated and the feature was gone. just kept erroring out and freezing up or pulling up the book but not reading.
Alright, I completely reset to stock (8 reboots and de-registered it). Checked the info and was back to 1.0.0. Tried the "read to me" function and it worked fine. Put it to sleep waited a few minutes woke it up and tried again with no problems. Side loaded a fresh download of the 1.0.1 update and let it update. Tried the "read to me" again and it worked fine. Put it to sleep and waited about 15 minutes and now it is broke again.
My wifes has had hers since Christmas too, updated it to 1.0.1 the same day as mine and hers still works perfectly.
I will be going to Best Buy to exchange mine for a new one in about ten minutes.
Did you check to see if any other audio was working after the 1.0.1 update? Other as in other than Read to Me?

I thought maybe you were on to something because I had sound turned off in a game. I turned it on in the game and it worked but still not in the "Read to Me". (1.0.1 update plus nootered)
I never could get the audio on Pandora to work but I have it on my phone so I never put much effort into it.
I just got back from Best Buy, updated my new NC to 1.0.1 and everything is working now, including Pandora. I will let it go for a couple days before I root it to make sure everything still works.
FWIW, I turned up my volume to nearly max and Read to Me was working. I wonder if it was a simple volume mistake or if somehow something was changed. I hope everyone else's problem is solved as well

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 + AutoNooter are a NC's best friend.. Show the friends how easy it is to root and load up apps. Remember to share.... 2.5 NC's to every grannysmith!

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!
Just saw this post. Same thing just happened to me while I was in the market. Sucks... have to reroot now... argh...

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...
Picked up my NC 1.0.1 today. Rooted without issue. After having a Google Talk conversation, I lost access to Marketplace, and all Google Apps? Can't log back in?
Anyone else having similar issues?
P.S. My wallpaper was changed as well ?!?!?!?!?!
p.p.s. My browsing history and favorites are gone too? Please tell me an update or something was just pushed out. I feel like I just wasted a few hours of my life here.
My rooted 1.0.1 nook has problems as well. Gets authorization error and resets data. After restoring through the clockwork recovery, had it up just for 5 minutes before it automatically reset again. Lost all my apps, market access, youtube, etc. Don't know if this issue has been discussed before. May just have to go back to stock.
It appears that something is amiss. I cannot sign back into any Google Services.
Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server
This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues call Customer Care.

Would a simple re-rooting solve the issue?
Same here. Was using everything fine Saturday. Turned on the device and in a few minutes I got an error, something about a problem with the registration and it said it was rebooting. It did and wiped everything of my rooted install except the market. Can't login to google account now.

I might add that I got my device it was at 1.0.0 and I rooted then reflashed to stock to upgrade to 1.0.1 and rerooted. Then I noticed after today's unexpected reboot/data wipe (the status screen during the reboot says it was wiping data) it again gave a message that it had just upgraded to 1.0.1 so I initially thought this was an issue with the device thinking the firmware upgrade was not quite done...
Mine quit working as well. Mine is a 1.0.0 that was auto-nootered. Everything was fine and I used it daily. Now it is a brick, nothing I do seems to make it boot. Every once in a while I can get the backlight to come on but nothing else and it just goes off again in a few seconds.
Rather than troubleshoot, I busted an 8 times reboot to go back to stock then re-rooted. Seemed like less headache, panic and stress.
If your NC dosen't boot at all. Try doing a dd of snowfox's boot.img in dev section. See thread for more info. You'll need to boot into NF from SD.

I have tried rerooting, and restoring through clockwork...it seems to always revert and bootloop. Although the reroot lasted a week and clockwork restore hasn't lasted 24hrs twice now.
Not sure what to do but My wife is ready to kill me! I'll have to go stock till someone finds a way to bust up this authorization or just wait I read some ROMs are being developed.
Have any of you disabled the otacerts.zip?
If you haven't it may be the problem.
I have and same on my wife's and neither of us have had any issue, and we use them daily.
I hadn't realized I should be doing this. I will try it. I am actually thinking that my first store purchase came w/ an update (my issue seemed to start right after a magazine trial purchase was made).
Thanks.

Thank you, I will try that. All the searching I did was for disable OTA NC and such but actually searching for OTACerts brought out many many threads that were archived on this subject... I can't wait to get home to try it!
I did not rename the ota file.... will give it a go.
I have done some research here and on Google on a really odd problem...
My wife has a NC I updated to 1.0.1 then rooted. About a week later on her way to work it restarted and unupdated (?) back to 1.0.0... So I thought it was a fluke, root was gone but most things still worked, not Youtube or market but other apps I installed while / did.
Now twice, 2 days in a row I have checked out the device, I installed Clockwork, did a backup and the next morning on the way to work (She works in manhattan, takes the train in) it is bootlooped "touch the future of reading" so last nite I ran the clockwork restore and it was fine then again this morning... same thing stuck in a boot loop.
As happy as I am about her being able to restore it on her own...it takes a while and shes at work by the time its done! and the maddening part is that I booted it multiple times the nite before in both cases...
What could be causing this? Things I haven't tried yet?
I checked the SD to make sure there weren't any update.zips or similar,
I have not formatted the SD, that I will do tonight.
I read the whole thread regarding Clockwork I didn't see anything I might have messed up...Does this have to do with uSD boot priority and maybe I have a hidden file on the SD?
And I have really searched for something similar, people have bootloops but not like mine that I can see.
Sorry for being long here but this is frustrating, I'm not all that new at this I've been voiding my warranties for a long time and this one has me stumped...
Thanks in advance for any reasons, suggestions.
EDIT: Looks like I am not alone, I am seeing more of these problems pop up now.
Did you disable OTA updates?
I'm on 1.0.0 and haven't had issues at all. Seems that folks having this issue are all on 1.0.1 (or at least from what I've noticed). So, perhaps, to go 1.0.0 and root?

I have disabled OTA but if this is a registration/ auth problem I guess it wouldn't help.
I have NOT gone the 1.0.0 then root path and that sounds like a good next step, thank you.
B and n tried to send out an update over the air....anyone know what its about?
afraid it'll mess my rooted book up
I have the 1.0.1 update already and rooted it with nooter
Did you already have the 1.0.1 update installed?
Nothing new about an update on B&N forums or their nook color update page.
This is 1.5. Just getting ready to insert card into nook to root. Maybe I should wait.
I just got an update notice also. I already have 1.01 so not sure what the update was for. I said not now so I should get the notice again later. Hopefully it wasn't a fluke and its actually 2.2!!!!

I have 1.01 as well and received an update notice somewhere between 1'00 and 1:30 Central Time.
Yeah that was prob around the time I got mine. Was just about to start reading before I go to bed. Now i can't sleep cause I'm trying to figure out what kind of update it was!!
Sent from my Nook Color
Can the next person to get this PLEASE accept it...
It would be interesting to see what the update actually is
If i get it again ill accept it. Since nobody knows what it is I might as well. I just figured I would do some research and see if anybody else had already dl'ed it yet.
Sent from my Nook Color
I don't recall accepting an update, but something messed up my nook while I wasn't using it, and it fits the timeline of this update. I had to enter recovery and things seem to be working alright. I would advise that people make a recent backup just in case something similar happens to them. Definitely upset that I lost most of my recent changes.
Hey something defenently trying to get through I am getting a meesage of something is wrong in your nook and system restarts and wides data and cache...
No updates though.
I have reverted to stock 1.0.1 using the 8 failed boot sequence and waiting to see what comes through ...
I left a stock 1.01 NookColor on over night and I didn't see a new firmware push. But then I never got the 1.01 firmware either, I had to manually download and install it I didn't see anything on B&N's update site either. I'm curious to see what it is.
Update 1.5? Me thinks you own a NK ("Nook Klassic" for lack of better name)

The only Nook with a v. 1.5 is Nook Klassic. As far as NC is concerned, I have also received several "update" notices for NC - the green "N" at the bottom left - even though I've already updated manually to 1.0.1 so I could AutoNooter 2.12.25. Ignore these messages. You're already up to date.
Later!

I'm like gedster314, I left NC #2 on w/WiFi overnight w/charging and had WiFi on for 2-3d IIRC while using it and NEVER got an OTA update notice, so I also ended up manually upgrading it to 1.01.
I haven't noticed any update notices on mine, but I mostly have WiFi off to help extend batt runtime since the batt life isn't so hot... (or maybe I've just been spoiled by my gTab batt runtime w/WiFi running nearly constantly...)
I've had my nook color since when they came out, rooted it immediately, and have rebuilt it a dozen times at first. I've never had 1.0.1 pushed, never had 1.1 pushed, and keep reading about others who are.. The NC is connected almost all of the time, either at my work or home wifi connection or on the road, via tethering.
Anybody else not getting updates? (..and I'm certainly not complaining, just curious)
I'm still on 1.0.0 as well. Never did anything to block updates, and I'm frequently connected to wifi either at my university or at home. Have been inside a B&N with wi-fi maybe on a bunch of times.
Ya all my NC's I have touched, mine, my best friends, and including my parents that just came in today all had 1.0.0 on them, mind you I manually upgraded them to 1.0.1 but no OTA period on any of them.
I never got the push either. Glad I didn't actually.
I've had my NC for a week.. I manually updated to 1.0.1, rooted, later went back to stock, and manually updated to 1.0.. I went back to stock (1.0.0) yesterday.. I went to my local B&N a few hours ago, and then I notice the green 'n'.. I thought that 1.1.0 had been automatically pushed.. when I clicked the 'n', it said.. You have been updated to 1.0.0'! I went to settings -> about your nook, and sure enough, version is 1.0.0!
I thought this is really weird.. Operation is normal, no pinch + zoom in browser, so I think indeed it is 1.0.0 still..
Never got pushed to mine either. I finally just manually updated
No manual updates on my 1.0.0 either. I've disabled OTA certs and have aa profile to turn off wifi when the NC is sleeping.

I couldn't even update to 1.1.0 manually by downloading the update package and copying it onto the root. Media scan happens with occasional reboot but still on 1.0.0

No push for me...but I never got the original update either...
I never got the update notification either. I manually updated last night and did both the otacert and mod through sqlite to disable updates.
Performance improvement was already noticeable on 1.1.0 even before I flashed the 1.1MHz kernel.

how did you update your nook manually?
There's a link at nookdevs (I would include it but don't have 8 posts yet) that will show you how to update manually to 1.0.1. Mine also never updated automatically so that's what I did. I assume it's something similar for 1.1 but I did a sideload update on mine so I'm not sure

Download either,

http://images.barnesandnoble.com/presources/download/nookcolor/v1.1/Sideload_update.zip
With your Nook Color on and connected, plug the USB cable to your computer. Your Nook Color will mount a drive on your My Computer with something like 5GB. Copy the Sideload_update.zip there. Unplug the USB cable from your computer and plug it to the power outlet. Turn your Nook Color off. After a few minutes it will automatically update so just wait till it's finish.
I've never got update over the air and got tired of waiting.
