Read to me not working with 1.0.1 update?

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

nook decided to reset itself

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...

Root 1.0.1 NC downgraded itself to 1.0

Turned on the screen of my rooted 1.0.1 NC this morning finding a notification saying that the software has been "updated" to 1.0. Now it just keeps bootlooping.
Only setting that was different from the other nights was that the the WiFi sleep policy was changed to NEVER in Spare Parts.
Any idea as to why this happened? Looks like I will have to reset, update and root again.

Did you block OTA updates?
Homer

I believe the auto nooter does that for you?

I don't think so. Look in /etc/security for the file otacerts.zip to check. If it is still there, do a search for blocking ota updates. It is possible that was the culprit. Another possibility is that you had an authentication error. Have you done any restoring of system apps/data?

If not blocking the OTA setting was indeed the culprit (even though I was already on 1.0.1), I think A LOT more people would have this issue.
I went through and did the whole rooting process all over again. Hopefully clockwork recovery will be available soon. Just don't want people to have the same problem as I did.

I had the same issue & it went into a partial cycling reboot mode where it would begin spelling out "nook color" then show the big 'n' n then the colors would ripple & when that stopped it would start the cycle over. Eventually it did the update back to 1.0.0 & I was able to reset & unroot.
A replacement NC is on its way to my house.
BTW the update back to 1.0.0 happened both before & after rooting with auto-nooter.

What is wrong with your NC?

update for nook

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.

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...)

[Q] Software update on wifi

I don't understand the system updates on the nook. They tell you that, on wifi, the nookcolor will automatically update to the newest software upgrade when idle. My nookcolor has been on, connected to my wifi network for the past 6 hours. There has been no update whatsoever. Still on 1.0.0.
Am I doing something wrong?

Open the Library. At the bottom of the screen, immediately to the left of the search box, you'll see a refresh button.
Press the button.
The NC should sync with BN, which also involves a check for software updates. If there's an update available, it should give you at least a notification. I can't recall whether it downloads in the background first, but either way, you'll get an update.

I wish that would work. I've been trying that. No luck.

It should eventually update but you can also sideload the update after downloading it from B&N. The entire process only takes a few minutes.
Here's the link http://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/nookcolor-support-software-update/379002520/

Well, it was/is being delivered in a rolling update, meaning that you're more-or-less put in a queue by BN. Once the update is received by the NC, it won't be /installed/ until the device is idle. The NC also needs to be registered with BN in order to receive the update.
From the BN FAQ:
The software will be downloaded to your device in a rolling update over the next few days and automatically install when the device is idle. Once the update has been installed, you'll see a small green 'n' on the status bar.
