Any Nook Color owners University of Phoenix students? Have you tried to use your rooted Nook Color on the discussion boards of UoP? I know they optimized their website for use with iPads but I'm curious how well the discussion section works with the NC.
It works pretty well for me. I use it a lot when I am work and need to post or just to catch up on my discussion questions. I have accessed my class from the regular rooted nook, froyo and now I am using honeycomb. So all three work really well. The only problem I have noticed is that sometimes I have to zoom in to see all the thread options.
Thanks for the info. Sounds like it will work perfect for me as my portable device to take to work and be able to answer DQ and such. I'm weary of taking my MBP because I fear it might grow legs and wander off. If the NC does that it's a substantially smaller loss.
Help please?
I have my nook color rooted, no froyo or honeycomb, and I'm able to access the UoP site but can't scroll between the conversations on the discussion boards. This doesn't bother me so much because I can just click next to get to the next posting. However, I am unable to post replies. I click reply, and cannot click in the text field. I even tried a workaround that someone stated worked with the Ipad before it became compatible with the UoP site which stated to click paste text. That doesn't work for me either. Any way around this? I am using the Dolphin HD browser but I have tried it on the regular browser as well. Thanks in advance.
Hi Syndiesel sorry you are having problems. I haven't experienced any of this problems with my nc. I have been using mine for class since autonooter and haven't had any problems. I am not sure why yours is different. Have you tried other browsers such as firefox or skyfire?
Thank you for getting back to me!!
I haven't tried Firefox or Skyfire but I will download those now to check it out. Which one are you using? Also, are you able to scroll through the discussions?
ok I tried Firefox and it works there...but it moves pretty slow. I will download skyfire to see how that works.
OK Skyfire does the exact same thing and doesn't let me post. So far it's only Firefox that works. ugh...the part that sucks is that it moves slow. Could it be a setting in the browsers that prevents it?
I use it to browse through threads. The only problem that I run into is not being able to scroll through the frames of replies. I know I can click and go to the next one, but I would like to be able to quickly scroll through that frame to see replies to my discussion. Does anyone know if it is possible to scroll in frames?

Does anyoe else's tab do this
When I scroll in a webpage or app, and I stop scrolling but still have my finger pressed on the screen, the screen starts to shake a little until I move my finger again, is it just my tab or is it a common thing?

the only thing i can suggest is that you are slightly moving your finger, its sensitive so might look like its shaking?

Mine does that too. I wouldn't be too worried about it since it only happens in the web browser for me.
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy Tab using XDA App
its not defective, its cause your holding your finger on it, especially in a web browser if your zoomed in a page and scroll it might happen.
its just your finger moving a tad bit that the tab senses. Also it might be catching two touch responses from your finger, not the tabs fault. Its the way you use it really.
Dont worry. The tabs touch response is pretty sensitive, which is VERY good thing trust me. Its better to be responsive then crappy on a touch tablet.
Sorry, but yes, it is a problem
I'll respectfully disagree. I have the same issue in my galaxy tab, and I've tried several others, this behavior is found in just a few.
I've made a video and a drawing test to illustrate it. I've put them in a page in a domain that I own.
(XDA still doesn't allo me to paste a link, but the address is fgfaria.com )
I've tried an app called touchscreen booster, which appeared to be appropriate from its description, but didn't notice any difference.
But there is a very intriguing point. It doesn't look like it's a hardware problem. I have installed touch test app, and with that the touch is perfect, no shaking. Also, specifically in youtube app, when scrolling the list of videos, it doesn't happen.
I need to find out why it happens pretty much everywhere, but not on youtube app and touch test apps.
Just to make it even more complex: as you'll see in the picture in the url above, towards to the right edge of the screen the problem is much lighter or doesn't happen.
If someone can help, that would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks,
Fabio
I'm getting this problem too. I get TERRIBLE shakiness when i hold finger input especially in google maps.
I highly doubt it's a hardware issue because this only started happening to me ever since i installed the italian gingerbread rom.
This this GB rom giving anyone else the same issue?
Same problem here
I am also having the same problem, installed an application called "Touchscreen Booster" but no avail.
Strange thing is that the problem seems to not happen on Youtube application.
I also have GB 2.3.3, in my case, the overcome room 2.0.0
One possible solution
Did you guys check the url I've sent? (fgfaria.com)?
Is your problem just like mine? In my case, I had the problem since Froyo 2.2, and still have it (the same way, no change) after an update to 2.2.1.
My GT is not rooted, and I'm waiting for gingerbread to be made available through Kies in Brazil to proceed with the update.
Another interesting thing is that most touch test apps behave normally (no shakiness).
Possible good news: I've found an app in the Market called "ILITEK Touch Utility".
Unfortunately I couldn't use it in my GT as it appears to require the device to be rooted. But it has several features from calibration to screen software reset. Hopefully this may help, specially as it seems to be a software issue.
Let me know if this works for you.
Regards,
Fabio
mine does EXACTLY the same thing as per your website.
the app does not seem to fix anything...
sigh...
at least good to know someone else is experiencing the same problem.
The problem is app specific
Hi all,
In addition to touch test apps and youtube app, there are some other apps that don't present the problem. One specific interesting case is the one of the HelloListView tutorial presented in Android Developers website.
I've followed the tutorial, and created this illustrative app that just creates a list and allows you to scroll up and down. This specific app doesn't present the problem we've been discussing. I've made it available for download as apk file in the end of that same testing page (fgfaria.com)
That application being so simple and not presenting the problem, and the other apps that also don't present it, makes me think that the problem may appear when some specific library gets included in an app. Possibly something related to hardware acceleration, for example (just guessing, no specific reasons to believe that).
If only we could isolate the cause of the problem, we could notify Google and/or Samsung and influence a new patch release.
This is as far as I have gone so far. Ideas, reactions?
Regards,
Fabio
Or the libraries being used in this tutorial include some kind of filter not used in problematic apps...
I posted about the same problem here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1096698
I've included pics from my tests. Notice how before I installed the custom rom, the lines were perfectly smooth. This definitely has something to do with the software. We need to have one of the rom devs look at this and find out what might be the cause.

hi grukko, thanks for your comment!
To me, the most intriguing part is that the behavior happens in some apps, and not in other. I have done a very similar test, which I've published in the address http://fgfaria.com
As you see in the thread, the problem doesn't happen in youtube app, and screen touch test apps and in the list tutorial app I've created following instructions in Android Developers website.
Can you check if your problem is the same checking if youtube doesn't "shake"?
Thanks!

Your test results look similar to mine. I just tried youtube and it does not shake.
New discovery:
It may be a hardware problem (at least in my case). A friend, in another forum noticed that the jittering only happens in screens with a light background, specially white.
This can be quickly tested, by opening a web page that has a white and a black part. Zooming in the white part (so that all background you see is white) and keeping the finger still, the screen starts shaking. If you move to the black part, zoom and keep you finger still, no shake at all.

Fabio

Touch screen issues
Count me as another member of the shaky touch screen club! Anyone found a resolution yet?
No luck yet. Official upgrade to Gingerbread is not yet available in Brazil. I'm waiting for this upgrade to check if things get better, but I'm not so optmistic, as I've seen reports from many people to whom the problem actually started after the upgrade. Does anyone know if the problem has already been officially reported to Samsung?
Nope. Not mine, the tab working flawlessly

Okay I just loaded HBO go onto my G tablet with the VeGan rom 5.1.1. While the app runs when I try to sign on the app fails with a force close. Anyone using VeGan or any other ROM including stock having similar issues? If this app is as good as it is on my iPad (no flames, no snide remarks) then this will be a great app for the tablet community.

Works great on my Evo but not my Gtab with 5.1.1. I'm getting the same thing as you.
I haven't tried it on my G2 yet, but I'm also getting the FC when trying to sign in on my GTab.
Fc on Vegan ginger, works great from website.
FC on Cyanogenmod 7.0.2.

From the Website on your desktop or on the Website from your gTablet? If so, what browser? Opera reports unsupported. Haven't tried any of the others.
Doesn't work with my cable company either.
If I remember correctly, you need Android 2.3 or higher, not 2.2
Got it to work with Dolphin HD after I disabled the AdFree app I had running and checking "enable plug-ins" to always on. Full screen seems to be necessary as well to see the bottom of the page.
Just checked the normal android browser - works too with "Default Zoom" set to "far" to be able to see the whole page.

It works great on stock HTC Incredible (2.2) and Droid2. I don't think you need 2.3

I have it working on BC 1.20. You need to download "!IMEIMe(b10)(5).zip" from this link "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103766". Put your ROM of choice into the same folder as the "!IMEIMe(b10)(3).exe" (from the unzipped file). Run it and answer yes when asked if you want to modify a ROM (some wording to that affect). Supply a "pass word/code", I used my G-tab serial number (you might want to read the topic for a LOT! of discussion on unique IMEI generation. It injects an IMEI into the ROM, based on the number you supply and renames the ROM adding "IMEI" to its name. You end up with two ROMs original and renamed ROM. Take the Renamed ROM and change its name to the standard "update.zip" and re-flash!. Both HBO GO and the Xfinity apps now work on my G-Tab.
Thanks for this rmac. I am playing around with this. So far with CM7 build 86 i got HBO to work, but it would not show any video. Might have been an HD video, which might not work on GB. I tried Caulkin and Vegan 5.1, but was getting FCs on both with HBO. Will play around more when i get home and will probably try BC 1.2.
Update: I have installed BC 1.2 and have hbogo working, however the picture is not great. It does full screen, but is not very clear. Anyone else have a better experience?

Yes hbogo has poor pic quality for me also. It would be a good app if pic quality was better, maybe a future update will address this issue?
According to the help built in the app, it supports HD. Definately a bug if that's the case- seems like it's defaulting to the lowest quality available.
hbo cinimax go
Hob go and cinemax go both work on tablets with skyfire web browser
HBO GO app has been updated in the Android market -- it now works fine on the GTab (at least it does on mine, running Froyo Clemsyn+Calkulin version).
my keyboard wont open when using dolphin browser, if i try to enter comments on engadget, its never worked actually, hoping its a fault with my tab rather that an android problem, i can log in to discuss but the tab seems to be seeing the text box for commenting as an image, can someone test it, does anyone know how i can manually open the keyboard, ps it happens with every kbd for me, and ive wrote all this using my tab so things are working properly, just engadget that wont work

Dolphin can be a pain to use for some things like that.
Try opera and see if it works with that.....
Happy to see you here, Leetut
Yes Dolphin browser has this bug, which I reported at least twice, but hasn't been corrected so far. Other sites are involved too.
This happens to me only with the "desktop" user agent; hence, switching to the android user agent for the page makes the text box editable. You can switch back amd forth through a button installed by one of those Dolphin browser extemsions.

So, Pocket doesn't work with NST, and Readability installs but doesn't run. Instafetch runs, but I can't get it to sync with Instagram. Has anyone gotten this, or any of the others, to work?

I was really hoping Pocket would work but it doesn't so I tried all the suggestions and other services. The last one I tried worked the best. I installed Instapaper and am using Instafetch for the Nook. It works great. All the other clients made me scroll through the articles which was super annoying because it was hard to see the place where I left off. Instafetch was the only one which can turn pages like a regular e-reader. And the Nook buttons were correct. The others may have this ability but I did not figure it out.
Love being able to load articles on the Nook. Longreads.com is a nice place to find stuff.
Just to add, I've installed Readit and I love it, but for whatever reason I can't delete articles which I find is quite a bummer. I use my iPod touch which is always near me to delete my articles. I think it's okay. However, if anyone knows how to delete some articles, if you could share the tip to me, would be nice. Otherwise, this app is amazing!

Search for an older version of Read It Later (anything before the pocket launch), and install the .apk file manually; It will run fine on the nook.

You can use "clear database". On the main screen (with the 6 icons) press the virtual "menu" button to get this option.
I'm struggling to get FarmVille2 working on the new Nexus 7 i bought for my good lady
Am i right in thinking that FB is detecting the device type as 'Tablet' and this is why it is forcing load of the FarmVille Express version, rather than the full game ?
If so, is there an easy way to change the device type to 'PC' or whatever to make it work ?
I remember that in order to get BBC iPlayer working on the HD2, it was a similar scenario, but involved an easy reg change, but guess this is different
Any help please ?
Many thanks

In browser, I presume?
In Chrome, you can click menu, then 'request desktop site'
In Firefox, you can download an addon 'Phoney' (I think this is what it's called), and set it to desktop.
I really don't know about other browsers.

I guess it will have to be FF Beta then ?
OK, update;
Can't get this working with FF Beta, Dolphin 8.5.1 nor Opera (Using Flash 11.1)
The closest i get is the game starts loading (with sound playing) but gets stuck at about half way. This is using FireFox Beta
Does anyone know of a definite way to get FV2 working on the N7, or have any other suggestion ? Perhaps a different browser/version of Flash ?
Many thanks

HTML STANDARDS cross platform compatility ISSUE
I think this is a similar issue as with Pogo games... My Better half would Love to play her Pogo games on her Android tablet.. I have tried nearly everything.. Even went thru talking to them on the pogo forums.. The bottom line is They do NOT SUPPORT the Android Flash/JAVA run time players.. Check some other flash game sites made for windows machines. You will see the same issue. This is one of the reasons there needs to be a HTML Standard for VIDEO/Animation on the net..
I would say your best best at this point is to go to Facebook support and see if there is any documentation about this.There could be a solution now.Its been many months since i tried doing exactly what you want.There was no solution at that time and no work being done to make it happen in sight..
My thoughts are until there is a True HTML Standard that all browsers and browser content MUST Comply with . We will have this type of issues. HTML 5 And then now 6 is supposed to be the issue.. People keep holding on to what they are using now. They do this to save dev. dollars. Until all back word compatibility in browsers are broken there will be NO True standard for cross platform games in a browser environment.
If you do find a solution Please let us all know..
Good Luck
