Hi all,
In the Settings menu, under social, since upgrading to 1.0.1 and rooting, I now get an "invalid parameter!" error. Under 1.0 and root, I did not have this error and was able to link my Google account. Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, what did you do to resolve it.
Thanks
Kim
Having the same issue. +1 to looking for anyone with any knowledge on how to resolve.
I had same issue. I unrooted, did a factory rest and it was still there. I updated firmware...still there. RE-rooted...still there. Un-rooted, called support, and after an hour on the phone following their instructions I was told to return it to the store (within return period).
I have updated firmware and rooted this one with no problem with the Social section under Settings.

Interesting. I also have the same problem in my 1.0.1 rooted version. but I haven't had this problem in my 1.0.0 versions (both stock & rooted) of my NC.
I hope that this will not be a hardware problem...
I just noticed mine is doing the same thing after rooting. Does anyone else experience this problem?

My girlfriend just got off the phone with tech support cause of this problem. Her nook was working awesome after the update but she had to do a factory reset for another issue and when it came back on, thats when she saw invalid parameters. Long story short, they couldnt resolve the issue and they're making her mail her nook back so she can get a new one. Oh and her nook was never rooted so this problem isn't just for the rooted nooks.
+1 worked initially but at some point since rooted 'invalid parameters' is all that appears now.
none of the usual solutions (unroot, reset, wipe, etc) have made a scrap of difference. Maybe a settings file somewhere on the device that doesn't get replaced after reset/wipe which is hard to believe. Only way to find it might be to compare to stock NC with/without the problem.
I haven't noticed any other issues though. Perhaps the problems lies in a cookie or session type ID that is linked to the nook but resides on the servers.
hoping someone smarter than me (not difficult) finds an answer.
Same problem here. Firmware 1.0.1 with autonook. The message will show even after complete format. I called customer support and after 10 minutes the guy told me that his supervisor informed him that several people are calling with the same problem an that the issue will be resolved with an update in the future. I'm going for an exchange anyway.
if anybody has it working on a rooted 1.0.0 or a 1.0.1 version can you use ADB and pull the /data/data/com.bn.nook.social folder and possibly post it up here?
My nc is rooted on 1.0.1 and Social does the error thing, and this is what the above file contains:
databases/
recommendations.db
webview.db
webviewCache.db
No other folders in the main one or anything. I think there should be a shared_prefs folder out there...
Check the files first for any sensitive password info!
- Will.
Mine started doing this after my last reset, so I upped it back to 1.0.1 and it still continued. I figured I did it with the root, but then I asked the guy at the store if he had heard of it. He said that they have had a few complaints about it, and that only a few of the devices with the issue had been rooted. So, it seems it has something to do with the original firmware.
He seems to think that if you setup Social, then reset and deregister, the setting isn't getting cleared (the guy is pretty savvy at our store). He has been keeping an unofficial tally, and said that he will ask others that have the problem if they did the same thing.
I agree, that sounds like the sequence of events that led to it happening for me.
I exchanged my unit about 2 weeks ago, rerooted to 1.0.1 and it still works as of today (knock on wood).
One thing I do remember before the problem, is the fact that I had task manager setup to kill the social app. Maybe this corrupted something inside the file system and led to the problem.

good find works awesome
Found a thread with the .apk but it doesn't seem to work. I can get it installed; however, it gives me an error with just about every action I try. Any help? Running TNT Lite v4.4.
I actually posted the same question. I got it from the market and was really looking forward to having access to on demand. Anytime I try to do anything I get a unknown error has occurred. I haven't contacted them yet, but I am wondering if a 3G connection is required. On their site it does say that the app requires an android phone 2.1 or 2.2, so that is why I am thinking it needs 3G.
As I told markmac in his post, I was able to open an use the Xfinity app fine on my gtab running the stable CM7 released yesterday.
Works fine, running vegan tab gingerbread rc1. Did have tnt and tried, was a no go.

I get the same error on the Vegan GB ROM.
Last night i flashed the latest Vegan Gingerbread rom and still having the same issue. Just to me clear, my issues are with the Xfinity TV app not the Xfinity Mobile app.
Apoligize, app not working, had themobile. Most functions work.from there website which was strange.
No go on this stock tablet. Unknown error on both sign-in and searching for the channel listing. FWIW their mobile app doesn't work either.
Tried this on my Vegan-Tab 5.1.1 and while I was able to download it from the Market after running the "fix" I too get the unknown error.
I also can't seem to get access through their website despite being a paid customer for all of Xfinity's content. Every movie/tv show that I try hangs at "obtaining authorization"...
Is this the app to control your DVR remotely ?
or
To watch On Demand ?
From my GTab: I just log into Xfinity website and watch shows direclty. Admittedly I only tried it a few times and I probably didn't hit enough videos to cover all three video playback formats.

I'm guessing that you're hitting Comcast's ceiling of three registered playback devices. If you go into your profile & see 3 devices, delete one.
I appreciate the suggestion but I have no registered playback devices, the GTab would be the first.

I switched from Vegan to CM today to get netflix working. Was happy to get Netflix, but get errors galore still with xfinity tv.... Anyone found a way?
Error is invalid IMEI problem
I finally got the Xfinity TV app Working! The problem was an invalid IMEI error (although it didn't say that). I found a link to a solution for the Nook Color here: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/188...91598__hl__xfinity__fromsearch__1#entry191598

If you have this number "above" in your oem version post a little something, if you got it from dell or other than dell.
I'm determined to figure out why this oem number isn't receiving the update.
Also say rather your service tag directs you too the streak 5 download's or not.
Thanks
No update for me yet...
I have this number GLUNB1A133830 I got it at Staples.
Service tag comes up as streak 7 at dell:

I am stock same as day I took it out of the box. Not even rooted.

Also checked out my sons... same deal as mine in every aspect.
No update for me yet either...
I have that number . won it in a contest so not sure where it came from.
Same here (Staples). Still waiting. Not sure if i want the update after reading some of the 'impressions'.
wow i thought i was the only one. also got it from staples. mine went into read only mode. sending it to dell. did urs go into read only mode also?
I just tested and I do not have a read only issue.
No read only here either, & still no update.
I have that OEM number as well, I install honeycomb using the link from another thread and its working fine. I didn't event have to do a factory reset, almost everything worked fine.
Go for it

Any particular reason why all of you are waiting for the update? I too had the same build as all of you and I bought my directly from Dell in July.
I proceeded to go to the link below (yes I've read many of the threads here) and it provided the download page. Once I did the download, up in the notification bar, you drag it down to show it's progress when it is done. Once it is done, all you have to do is tap on it and it will advise you that there is an update and do you want to install it. Once you click "Proceed or Yes or Update"...don't recall the exact wording, it will then compare your system to the update and once it finds that it's compatible, it will then install.
Two things when doing an update...
1) The battery should be FULLY charged
2) Don't reboot the device during an update.
The system will reboot itself and the install takes about 5 - 10 minutes to complete. It will take that long to download as well depending on your internet speed.
I've had my update since Thursday and there has been no issues with it. It survived an entire day (7am - 10pm) without needing a charge as I gave it to my daughter Thursday night as a gift for her schooling as she has books she needs to read that are in ebook format.
I know I'm not the only one who has done the update with the same build and I haven't seen any of us with any issues. Remember that Dell sending out the updates in phases so not everyone is going to get notified at the same time because their servers will not be able to handle that volume of traffic.
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GLUNB1A334430
Same, but I don't care, I'm not updating until there's a custom kernel with tun.ko and some of the bugs are tweaked. Unfortunately I have to read Yet Another Forum to keep up on that development....
I guess its more of why isn't it auto updating or showing the page saying no updates? Curios if that will be corrected & eventually we will get prompted to update. I know i can go with the other link, but then i wouldn't ever know the answer to the above.
I just got off the phone with Dell mobile support, I told the tech that I wasn't seeing an update to 3.2 when doing a check from settings and asked if there was an update available for my service tag no. The tech gave me a link that was the same link listed in the second post of
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1291257
which is
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GLUNB1A334430
So according to the Dell mobile support tech the update package is the same
for GLUNB1A133830 and GLUNB1A334430 which is why I called.
Did you ask why it might be acting like it is?
Ok i went for it since the dell guy said to do it, man i'm glad i did, this is exactly what i wanted... I might actually get the dock now.
I also have a Streak 7 from Staples with the same version number. I performed the upgrade with no apparent issue. At this time, I have discovered two issues. First, Netflix doesn't work. I can log in and see what it offers, but it fails when I attempt to stream. And second, when I connect to the dock, it does not recognize that it is docked. It charges, but doesn't acknowledge that it is in the dock. I have not tested if it will direct video out to the HDMI port or not, since I can't get Netflix to work.
Netflix won't stream video with most HC platforms, there are only a couple that do work. Netflix needs to get serious about correcting the issue it has been dragging alone for months now, and since it worked correctly under 2.2 it isn't hardware. but somthing between HC and the Netflix app which was solved for a couple platforms.
On a plus side my DS7 will now pair with my BT keyboard which makes text a whole lot easier to work with.
Have you tried this patch? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178773
Grab the file and put the file in /system replacing the existing file.

I tried different methods for the HC update, but no luck. Is it because of GLNUB1A133830. The unit was brought from Staples.
Please someone guide me - Thanks

Out of curiosity, which methods and what were the results? Do you even get the page that says there is an update but the package won't install after it finishes downloading?
Method I used:
Charge battery to above 60% (well above)
Using the stock browser go to
http://mobileupdate.dell.com/?version=GLUNB1A334430
click on the download and install button
When the download is complete click on the notification that the "download completed" That will start the install process.
When complete I found that most of my downloaded apps were still installed BUT many had problems. So if that is what you find go to setting Privacy and do a factory data reset you will then have to go to Market, Amazon,... and reinstall your applications. Good luck
My Chromecast just updated to build 16041. Anyone know what's new?
Looks like some people started getting this build a few days ago, but nobody has noticed anything significant: http://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/comments/1zswmd/chromecast_updated_to_build_16041/
No idea.
Here's a link for a Google forum beginning on March 4th where they're asking questions at the end as if new problems deserve entry level debugging questions. (What router do you have?)
https://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/chromecast/xXyNrzm-e8g/discussion
A posts saying a change log would be linked when available - but nothing there.
They used to put it here - http://googlechromereleases.blogspot.com/2013/12/chromecast-update.html
Then somewhere else for 15250, I can't search from the XDA app.
I got it tonight. Had to force quit Netflix at first, then had no problems after that.
No idea if anything else is working or broken for me yet.
Lots of complaints out there though.

I think that with the release of GoogleCast Beta, which coincided with the 150XX Update that perhaps Google is in play mode with the device and OS and don't want to admit they may have screwed a few pooches!
I have seen the Googlecast crash behavior both with the Beta and Original and the Beta would not even work with Plexweb so I Uninstalled it.
I canceled Netflix so I can't test if that is truly broken.
I gave the new build a quick test with Netflix and Plex. Everything seems fine, no crashes.
I sometimes get the Chromecast failing to connect to Netflix successfully the first time it tries, but it always works the 2nd time, so I haven't bothered worrying about it.

I also expect to see things break for the first few days while an update rolls out.
Everything is so damn interconnected between multiple parties such as Google making a change, The App dev (Netflix, Plex Etc) having to support the changes to work with the new update and finally the user updating the apps to get the changes made.
It's like a really bad Square Dance! LOL

Yep.
14651 really broke it for me and hosed Netflix and YouTube. And I told them so in a bug report - everything working until that update with no app changes and after app changes.
Two weeks after 15250 came out, that fixed my personal issues with both apps, without me updating either app, Google emailed me to tell me that my defect report was being rejected because clearly, I had a Netflix issue and ought to take it up with them.
The beginning of my defect report said: "Do not look at this as a Netflix issue, it's happening with YouTube too and just started with 14651."
I still love my Chromecast, I still think it's great and I still think Google is pretty Mickey Mouse when it comes to being forthcoming and working with people.

The fact they are averaging an update every week or two just underscores the fact they keep messing with the works and when you fix what isn't broke you tend to break it.
The Windows Chromecast app does not load for me anymore after this update. In the task manager I can see it open then it shuts right down.
After this update my chromecast doesnt boot Only Google Logo then black screen on my TV Samsung... Thx Google...
I tried to disconnect USB and plug in it to POWER adapter - it doesnt help me, then I tried to hard reset from physical button on Chromecast - it doestnt helps to me too! Any ideas? After HR chromecast now displays on my TV like "Player". Chromecast app cant connect to Chromecast...

Sounds like maybe you had it plugged into USB power and it may have lost power during the update process?
Did it boot successfully to the wallpaper after it applied the update?

Great! This, along with the ability to turn on the TV, is why I highly recommend using wall/utility power rather than a TV USB port which often loses power when the TV is turned off.
Even mine got updated to this version. I feel this update is crappy, getting disconnected even for YouTube casting every 5 mins.. It used to work flawless until now. But then ... Waiting patiently for a fix

It may actually be something which is Lot Number (Device Version) specific.
It seems to be affecting a lot of folks so I expect it will be handled in the next release provided they can even figure out what is causing it by the time that release is available.
How many of you are rooted and did the update with flashcast and a USB cable?

I'm stock.
Today (July 9th) Google has released the anticipated latest Chromecast app that would allow us to screen cast our phones to a TV. It's only available for a limited amount of phone, which our Note3s are supposed to be supported.
However, the Play Store only shows v1.5.5.
Can someone verify this?
Try this apk. It's version 1.7.4
http://www.mediafire.com/download/wqhdjkt4zdrnrk7/com.google.android.apps.chromecast.app-1.7.4.apk
I only have android 4.3 and it requires 4.4.1 or higher so I can't test it fully. It installs for me but no screencast feature found.
After my first post, and after searching the interwebs I finally found this 1.7.4 version.
After install, it does exactly what they advertised. It screen casts everything to the TV. To test, I played a video in full screen mode from my PGA Tour app, and it looked beautiful! Especially in full screen!
*Update* the Chromecast in the play store still only shows v1.5.5. Which is says it's been updated on July 9th (today), so I can only assume our wonderful Note3s will not get this updated version through the normal "official" channels.
I hope I'm wrong.
I saw that too. I went online though, and found a 1.7.4, but it's not casting. It doesn't even show my Chromecast on the device when I try to cast. It just shows "My Device". It does show up in the Chromecast app though.

Just got a reply over in the Chromecast Help forums suggesting that my issue may be to being rooted, even though I'm still running the stock rom with a few bloatware frozen. They suggest unrooting my phone.
Just putting the solution out here for others. Personally, I'm not giving up my room just to Screencast.
