Hi all;
I hope someone could point me to the right direction to fix this problem:
After installing & booting CM7, everything works fine. The problem is that when I put the NookColor into standby/sleep(one quick power button push), the LCD seems there's still dim light -- it doesn't go total black as the stock version.
The next morning, all my battery juice is gone. I believe the LCD dim on standby is the cause.
Also, anyone have good experience w/ Bluetooth? Mine skipping in & out every 2 seconds -- connection keep dropping. I tried turning off WIFI still didn't help.
Thanks in advance.
I assume this is your first time using a custom rom. Stock is able to turn off more of the hardware processes than the custom rom.
The reason for this, is because when the custom rom was set up to turn off the same processes, it would lead to the sleep of death, requiring a complete reboot. So you will lose more battery since it can't turn off all the processes like stock can.
As far as bluetooth... Try a hard reboot, and if that doesn't work. Then go into CWM and goto advanced>fix permissions.
Thanks for the reply,
I was able to turn on the BlueTooth. My problem is the connection -- keep dropping in & out.
Also it's my first time doing the custom rom. So everyone is turning off his/her NC once done using it?
Well I don't really know about the bluetooth, I'm merely suggesting you try those to see if they help. However, the range isn't very long with the bluetooth, so it could be just the item is to far away... What are you trying to connect it too?
Well, the custom rom does still preserve some battery by putting it into sleep mode. However, yes you could turn it off. I usually get it through a 8hr day through putting it into sleep mode, with some battery to spare.
Can Phiremod work on an sd boot or does it have to wipe out stock nook os?

Using Nookie Froyo 0.6.8 eMMC.
I noticed my Wi-Fi takes a couple minutes or more to connect after the Nook had been sleeping. So I went into the Wi-Fi settings and I see "Wi-Fi Turning off...", then it comes on, then it turns off, and repeats over and over.
Eventually it will connect. Any idea what is causing this? This is a freshly install ROM. I've wiped it and reinstalled it and still have the same problem. And it works fine after a reboot, seems to only be a problem when it's gone to sleep.
I also installed Spare Parts and set the Wi-Fi sleep profile to never (this problem was happening before installing Spare Parts by the way) however that doesn't seem to prevent it from sleeping either.
I get the same thing. I'm assuming its a kernel thing, but I don't know, I'm definitely not a dev. Its happened in all the nightlies I've flashed, though.
yep this is a kernel issue i believe as it was better on the older kernels. i think it has something to do with your security settings.
try changing from wpa/wpa2 to something else perhaps?
i went to cm7 17 and so far it has been flawless. earlier builds were almost as bad though so i'm not sure if it will last.
That started happening on mine too. I just installed the newest kernel, that clean black theme, and nookie froyo. Prob the kernel.
It seems to help me on my nooki froyo 0.6.8 to put it back in standby by hitting volume up and power button at same time, then waking it back up and waiting for wifi to turn on usually within 30 seconds. It does not help and actually seems to make it worse to go into wifi settings to watch its progress.
Known issue with dalingrin's kernel. Go look on in the development forums.
Every other thread I see about a wifi problem kinda describes something different. My wifi messes up coming out of sleep. It will just keep connecting and disconnecting. Is their a fix for this? This is the only reason I left CM7.
This seems to be a common issue. I just turn off wifi before I hit the power button to sleep my nc. When I bring it out of sleep, I just turn wifi back on and it usually connects pretty quickly.
Which build are you using? And have you tried using a newer build?
The same issue with Nookie Froyo.
double post, please delete

I had the same problem with earlier builds of CM7, but switched Wifi sleep policy to never and am running CM7 nightly 19 and it no longer happens (still takes 30 seconds to a minute to reconnect if the nook has been sleeping for a long time). Now I have problems when I first turn the nook/wifi on!
I suggest updating to the newest CM7 and see if it's fixed. It doesn't seem to be specific to any one setup, but actually comes down to the individual nook.
I had the same problem with Froyo.
The problem went away after I swapped the OC kernel with stock one.
Hi! Can you tell me how you flush the stock kernel. I did the stock 1.0.1 via Rom Manager and it will just shutdown as soon as I login. Thanks.
I have the same wifi issue. I'm using Nookie Froyo 0.6.8. Everytime when I start my NC, the wifi turn on and off. Seems it's searching the signal? SOmetime it takes 1 or 2 mins. to reconnect! Originally, I thought that's hardware issue. It seems now this is a common issue for NC?
I read some post here, is to keep the wifi on, even when the NC sleep, but this will drain more battery.
Is there any better solution?
This happens with my rooted eclair NC as well. I'm now 99% sure it's an inherent NC issue. I though it was because I use Juice Defender to manage Wifi, but if manually turning it off can produce the same effect without the twitching wifi signal, then I'll do that instead.
Is there any app or method to make the wifi work better? Or is there any rom that can solve this issue?
I have had the CyanogenMod 7.0.2 stable encore installed and functioning on my SD card for quite some time (a few months) without any unusual issues.
Approx. 2 weeks ago, upon powering on, the WIFI didn't come on and I received all types of error messages. Things like com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly, etc. When I try turning on WIFI, it just says “error”. Airplane mode is off. It doesn't seem to matter what I try....booting in recovery doesn't seem to fix anything. Today, I tried putting the update 7.0.2.zip file on the sd card again and booted into recovery mode. It seemed to run through the setup but once again no WIFI ~ just all of the errors with google.process.gapps, and others.
Once in the past 2 weeks upon powering on, it came up into the Barnes & Noble system which freaked me out. I powered off immediately and when I powered back on it came up with the CyanogenMod guy as it should.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated as to what I need to do to get my Nook back in operation.
Thanks.......
did you ever turn on the airplane mode even once ? (even accidentally?) -- if yes, there is bug which disables wifi at start-up (but you should be able to start wifi without errors.
Also - OC kernel can cause wifi issues. you need to reflash the OC'ed kernel using recovery mode.

I've done that and also have the same issue. However, I have done several nightly updates since so I wonder if that is the real issue. Frankly, I think I like it better this way. Wifi uses a lot of the battery so I think I like it better with it off by default on startup.
Hi there everybody
I've installed [ROM][ICS 4.0.3][Unoffical Port] AOKP Build23 by vibranturk ROM.
Problems I found
1. android.media.process crashing always /almost every minute/
2. cant get in to market /meaning couldn't install any app yet/
3. cant get in to gallery
4. cant get in to music player
4. cant take secreenshot by default setting
5. sound is enabled but doesn't work. /not even play ringtones /
6. screen brightness not enough for day light
7. cant take photo by camera /android.media.process crashing/
Actually ROM is amazing. But without market its feels nothing.
Has anybody have same problem and about how to solve etc?
PS: I flashed 2 times.
You should start from fresh cuz not one problem that you stated has occured to me.....only bug is that when i reboot the batt % is off..
market works perfectly
...everything does atually
idk but just start fresh and wipe wipe wipe between flashes
i wipe before and after the flash
even flash twice just to make sure
***Dont mind the sig pic... im running this rom at the moment and its working flawlessly

I've been fighting with this 2 days. Today is day off for me.
Well. Today I installed again. This time it works fine. Everything went normal. Only one unusual thing is my cappy feels slow. asphalt 6 freezing sometimes. is there any way speed up my ICS?

Use Glitch v14, the included has some slight lag and glitch fixed it up. You can also LiveOC which allows for overclocking of the CPU and GPU.
signal
Has anyone found the solution for the gray\blue signal switching? So far as I can tell it is caused by the wifi; whenever I go from mobile network to wifi data, the signal bars go gray. The only work-around has been to switch airplane mode on and off. Would switching to the newly released glitch kernel do the trick?
EDIT: I have found out the Google services problem (gray vs. blue signal) is only happening when I join a network which requires a redirect authentication OR if the power saver is enabled.
Just got this phone and flashed it with - AOKP Build23 by vibranturk ROM
I have been reading for awhile now before I received the phone. Thanks vibranturk for all the development here! Excellent roms!
1) When I start the camera app from app on homescreen and from unlock - the phone goes into a black screen
The camera app worked fine again after a reset (just turning off and back on) but after awhile it does the same thing - black screen.
During the black screen, I can press the home button to return back to homescreen
** Resetted again, and all seems well at the moment and still fine after 1 hour!
2) I am not sure if this is the rom or just my screen. Did not notice it at first when i flashed the rom. Turning on the screen to unlock the phone, ie when the light starts, i get this bright green full screen flash for like a second. It does not happen everytime and no pattern of when it happens either.
Anyone else having these problems?
Can someone please update the 'AOKP thread in Captivate Android Development' with my issues, just trying to help with the development.
For the signal blue/grey thing, Seems like it goes blue for me when i have data signal coming in, either wifi or data enabled - lights up both wifi signal (only if wifi is on) and signal bars blue.
I have power saver is enabled as well.
My only issues so far are: vibrate + sound doesn't work, touch screen is over sensitive on certain games, and sometimes using Swype in messaging doesn't input if app was already in foreground when replying.(can be fixed by minimizing and reopening the app) otherwise it's works great. fast/smooth and great battery life.
Obviously I have an N7000 and I am noticing a peculiar problem for the past 2 days.
When I use the Power / Home button to wake the phone up, it takes close to 10 seconds to wake up.
When the phone is sleeping and I receive a call, it takes 10 seconds to wake up again.
When the phone is awake and someone calls, and I slide to Answer, the slider gets stuck and the phone is answered after 10 seconds.
I tried various ROMs, did a factory reset as well.
Interesting bit - All these problems vanish when am charging the phone. These problems occur only when am on battery. Could this be a battery issue ? Will replacing the battery help ?
Thanks,
Amit
So have you tried different kernels? Imho, I would flash a rom that is stable. I assume you are 4.0.4. After you fully wipe and install the rom of choice, check if you still have the lag. There are so many reasons that could cause it. Cable you're using, kernel, rom, etc. Do you use setcpu? You can actually set it to change when and how the cpu acts while screen off, on etc etc. In the past if I had a lag like that it was a problem with thte rom itself or an app that was causing the lag. If you need more help just PM me. Please post your results here so we can all follow the symptoms until we find a cure.
Thanks DBY,
I tried AbyssNoteKernel 4.2 and CF-Root. Both are showing the same issues. I am going to try another battery today. If the problem persists, I will let you know.
Thanks,
Amit
Which various ROMs ?
Please post the ROM name,version and the kernel which you are using.
Check your power save settings.
Disable all power saving and see if this resolves your problem.
