University of Phoenix & NC

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?

Browser issue - Drop down menu

Hi,
I'm running the latest CM7 with my Optimus 2X, and is using the stock browser. I am having problem with dropdown menus in the browser, especially with my airliners site, www.sas.se. As you see in the image below, all dropdown menus look really funny. I have also tried Dolphin browser, Firefox and I think one more, but they all look the same. Is it the website that is badly coded, or is it a general Android issue? As it is right now, it is impossible to choose anything in any dropdown menus because they don't respond to clicks.
Can anyone check if they have the same problem? Anyone who has a solution?
Thank you in advance,

I am able to select items from the drop down menus on that site with no problems.
Stock rom with Dolphin browser. Can't help you with a fix though. Sorry.

Ok, thank you for answering my post. Wondering if it is something in CM7? Will look more into it.
Cheers,

Dropdowns work fine in Firefox for me.
Stock CM7 browser fails though.

Good find! Dropdowns work with Firefox!
But...... Nothing else on that specific site... It won't autocomplete the cities when writing, and it won't (sometimes) show the calendar so it is impossible to change days, which means the ordering system fails...
Thank you for the inputs, everyone!

Hi,
I already tried Opera, but with the same issues.

Read it Later type apps

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?

There are some bugs with this app, though.

Awesome
Thanks. This works perfectly for me.

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.

Samsung Keyboard LAG!!! Help!!

I came from a Galaxy Ace, and I loved the 3x4 keyboard.
When I got my Note (already running ICS), I was first very happy that it had the 3x4 keyboard, but later realized it didn't work as well as the older one.
Basically, it has lots of lag, sometimes key presses wouldn't register, especially in the Google Chrome app. Sometimes, it jumps to the next character before I even finish typing. Watch the video and I think you'll understand.
Does anyone else have the same problem (please try it on your phone) or is it only my phone?

I use Swiftekey... awosme
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...pe.swiftkey.phone.trial&feature=search_result

It seems that I'm the only one with this problem. Something's wrong with my phone's Samsung Keyboard and Google Chrome app. I'm just gonna stick with the slowness of the keyboard because changing to other keyboards isn't an option to me.

[Q] Device 'Type' problem ?

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.

Excellent, thanks - looks like it will work in Chrome, just need to get Flash installed though...

Flash will never work with Chrome.

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
