Android :: Specs And Functionalities Of Nook E Reader (Developer Thoughts)?
Jun 25, 2010
What are the things that an android developer does to achieve it. So I need to know the basic functionality difference of IPad and other E-readers. I heard about Nook which runs an Android operating system. How do I test my app on that nook, i.e. is there any emulator configuration to test the application of nook? (Because I don't have nook now.) Can you post your suggestions to efficiently develop the application for nook e-reader?I need to know the following:What SDK to use for the nook Android platform.Configuration needs of An Emulator on AVD. Special key functionalities, like previous/next page. Specs and Functionality of Nook.

I just got the Nook for my bday yesterday and its pretty awesome. Already have THAT rooted too haha. Just on principle
One of the things that i factored into my decision between that and the kindle is the fact that the Nook is Android powered. Am I wrong in thinking though that if a non-Android powered e-reader (the kindle), has an Android application, then why the hell doesn't the Nook?

I am trying to find a News Reader and find that most of them seem to rely on feeds from Google Reader and seem not to recognise UK based feeds (or at least I cannot find the same feeds that I used on my iPhone).

After reading a lot in the eris forum about the SD Card debate, I've decided to drop the cash on a 32GB card. However, since I haven't made the purchase yet, I was wondering what some of you thought of the brands. There is a class 2 sandisk out there a brand I know very well, but its only a class two. Then there are two brands I have never heard of: 3C and Topram. Has anybody had any experience with these brands? If so, what do you think of them? The cards are cheaper and faster (in theory) than the sandisk, but if it's a bad brand, then I don't think it'll be worth it.

I've heard some very good things about the Nook for Android app. I have Nook for PC installed on my desktop, but I can't access the Nook app in the market to install it on my phone. I live in Taiwan, so I'm assuming I'm being geographically discriminated against. Has anyone found a way to install the Nook app by some other means (no rooting,

Have been testing kernels the past few days, have a few thoughts:I've tried the Slayher v1.6 kernel, ChevyNo1's ULV, jdflg's, and p3droid's, all 1200mhz. With all kernels set to "on demand", I can't say for sure if any one gives more battery life than any other, my usage is too variable. P3Droid's are 125mhz base clock, while the others are 250 or 300mhz, but there wasn't an obvious difference with my use. I'm guessing at low clocks, processor drain is negligible unless you're going to be in a semi-sleep state for a long time. All kernels bench about the same, and P3Droid's don't feel any slower even with the lower base clock, which suggests to me that most kernel makers should consider including a sub-200mhz option. Kernels with "interactive governor" subjectively feel slightly faster when using interactive governor, but battery life is definitely a little shorter. All kernels seem equally stable. All kernels seem to run about the same temperature, with maybe a very slight edge to Chevy's ULV kernel (~2c loaded). Temperature monitoring is not very accurate. I turned on my phone earlier in class, to see a 13c CPU temp. That's about 8-10c below ambient. This is consistent on all kernels I have tried.

Well now that shops finally sell it and more and more people have it by now, I thought to put this kind of thread up for everyone to comment their initial impressions and feelings about the phone, I am sure all of us who are still waiting for it are anxious to read your thoughts!Was it everything you hoped for, which things could have been done better? What good there is , what bad ?

I downloaded and installed the Nook Android app from the Google play store. Unfortunately when I click on an ePub book, even one that I downloaded from the B&N Nook store, my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 displays an error message stating that it cannot find an app to run the file. If I run Nook first, I can open files by clicking an icon in its list of books. Unfortunately that *only* lists epub books that I downloaded from Barnes & Noble, not any of my other books. (I have ePub books I bought directly from Baen, for example -- no joy.)
I'm a complete novice with the Android O/S and have no prior experience with any smartphone or tablet whatsoever. I'm quite familiar with Windows (up through 7) and several Unix/Linux flavors. Also somewhat familiar with MacOSX (but not iOS).

1. The circle that rotates while something is loading should never stutter, if it does something is not as it should be. It should be in its own separate thread and have enough resources for its simple task.
2. Sometimes there is a lag between tapping an icon and the application launching. The phone should keep the yellow background under the icon that is about to launch until it is launched. That way the user would know that the press was registered and no additional press is needed.
In general it is preferable to sacrifice almost everything to maintain a responsive UI. If that means that applications will take longer to load or will run slower, fine.One thing that has been discovered with the web is that people don't mind waiting, but they do mind not having accurate and quick feedback about what they have done and what is going on.

I've sent dozens of e-mails to Barnes and Noble support asking for them to make their ereader available for Android. I couldn't understand what was taking so long, since the nook is an Android device (that has, in fact, been rooted!).Finally, it's here and available in the Market: nook for Android - Barnes*&*Noble.I posted this thread before downloading the app, because I was so excited that it's finally here. I have to say, it's HUGE --about 30MB, which is why I promptly moved it to my SD card (which you can only do if you're rooted and running an apps2sd compatible ROM or Froyo ROM).

Like the rest we are waiting for Epic release. Some of us are stuck with our phones. Some can upgrades. But for those that want to upgrade to the Epic are you paying out of pocket? Are you able to upgrade now? Is your upgrade in October like many of or September? What will you do? Has Sprint ever given you an early upgrade and if so by how far from your actual upgrade date?

Right now I have tried a lot of options to get my Nook Color running CM7 to get internet access at work (buggy driver on B&N that doesn't work with our EAP settings), and none of my alternatives are good enough.
I was running my own access point from my computer but then the telecom guys told me to turn it off. Tried Bluetooth tether and that just doesn't work very well (it constantly drops connections).
So I want something seemingly very simple, but I can't find anything anywhere on how to do it. I want to plug my Nook into my computer and use that computer's internet connection. I imagine it can't be very difficult using ADB, but I can't find any information about it.
I have Arch Linux and Debian Linux at work.

I've been trying to root my Nook Tablet to CM10 unsuccessfully. I found this [URL]..... which led me to believe that downgrading to the 1.4.0 update would be useful.
I followed the link from this, [URL] ..... and downloaded the .zip and put it on an mSD. I proceeded to place it in the tablet, turned it on, and the update went through and my screen went black. After a minute or so I hit the power on button, and nothing happened. Nothing works on it now. I've tried hitting the power button for 20+ seconds then the 2 seconds, as well as the power + N button. The screen remains black. I can connect the nook to my computer and the power cable lights up, as well as when it's placed on the wall.
The Nook Tablet (it's a BNTV250) isn't turning on.

I would like to connect my Yamaha digital piano to my Nook HD (I currently connect the paino to a PC via Midi IN/OUT to USB cable which works fine). I thought that rooting the Nook and running USB Host Check would provide the answer but the apps I have tried (Perfect Piano being the most appropriate) don't recognise a device as being connected.

I just got my hands on this phone.
Here's my summary:
1) It's really fast. Runs all my games at max framerates.
2) The screen is 16:9 and will probably mess with your layouts and games and stuff.
3) It has a PowerVR SGX530. That's right around iPhone 3GS's GPU speed.
I believe the hardware supports OpenGL ES 2.0 but since Android doesn't, there's no way to use it right now. I did, however, dump all of the GL extensions and put them alongside the G1 and Emulator extension lists into this handy-dandy article - http://www.rbgrn.net/content/345-hands-on-motorola-droid-opengl-es-specs

I tried out this app: Fpt System Manager v1.1 Application for Android | Tools
And in the RAM area it currently shows me as having 83MB of RAM available out of 192.5MB of RAM. Obviously because of running apps.
What I'd like to know is how much _total_ RAM is _actually_ in my phone. The model I have is supposed to have 288MB of RAM (Rogers HTC Magic).
Is there an app, or is there some other way, to determine the actual specs of your phone, ie. actual total RAM installed?

I rooted my nook tablet 16GB to 2.3 first and then installed android 4.0. But now I really need to get it back to its original state because I need that microphone and other stuff working.
Anyway, here I am stuck on the CWM-Based Recovery v5.5.0.4. It wouldn't let me install any zip file that I put it on my microSD card. It also says that the image file is corrupt when I choose to install from the card.
get back to the original OS of Nook from my current Android 4.0 OS?

I reckon that I have deleted all the data from partitions such as boot, system, cache, etc all of them. Hence, the Nook tablet isn't starting into any mode except the recovery mode of ClockWorkMod. How to restore the boot entries of a Nook 16GB tablet?

There are now two dust specs on the left side of the screen; one on top, and one on the bottom. Has anyone else seen this? Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I should do about this? It seems silly to return the phone and get a new one for something so simple, but if it becomes a large problem, it will not be something I am willing to live with.

Does anyone know if Sprint/BB/RS will get advanced demo units to play with before the 4th? I would love to get my hands on one, the size scares me a bit, I don't want the phone taking up my entire hand when I am talking on it. Plus if I am gonna drop a couple Ben Franklins on something I always like to play with it ahead of time. Plus with this being my first Android experience I would like to make sure I don't mind the interface If not how similar is the incredible, could that give me a good approximation of the EVO size and specs?

EVO doubles Hero's processor, internal memory and RAM. I'm wondering how exactly that will translate into daily usage. Mayhaps I should post on the Nexus board since that runs a snapdragon but I'm sure there are people here who have handled both.I'm going to use a few apps I use as an example: Astro File Manager: running the app manager can take 20-30 seconds to fully 'load the packages' to backup/install/uninstall/etc.More Icons Widget: populating the apps list takes 20-30 seconds. aTrackDog: populating the apps list can take 45-60 seconds.

Post from XDA...Can someone that has the phone confirm this?Couple of interesting specs - xda-developers. AT&T has posted a new spec sheet on the Captivate here.Couple of things stood out in contrast to information (speculation?) that has been posted on this forum and elsewhere, so wanted to mention them and see if any of the early purchasers can check and confirm.
Memory
Flash (device) Memory16 GB flash memory
Expandable MemorySupports MicroSD cards with up to 16GB of memory
I point these out since some people have assumed that the base specs of the SGS were carried over to the Captivate (e.g., 802.11n, FLAC support, max 32GB MicroSD cards supported). Has anyone checked these on their phones yet?

Does anyone have problems loading sideloaded ePub books in the Nook App? I put them in My Documents, but when I try to load them, it just sits there for about 30 seconds and then force closes. It's very annoying, since the Nook just got updated to 1.5 that allows for syncing.

I WAS eyeing the iphone , but when I found out about Droid , I became very interested , much more than iphone. I completely believe in anything os. I can not buy or commit to anything without a bunch of reviews and , of course full specs. So when waited patiently for the countdown to end , I was hoping for an unveiling with meat. Now I've spent an hour and a half everywhere online, but nothing is really new. Has anyone seen an official spec sheet, final copy? I've seen the one that got posted by mistake last week on verizon , but has either motorola or verizon posted anything official? How about reviews, will they come after the 6th, or sooner?

From the Motorola site:
POWER up to 360 min / 6 hrs
USAGE TIME (CONTINUOUS)2
BATTERY TYPE
1420 mAh lithium polymer
STANDBY TIME2
up to 325 hrs / 13.5 days
I did away with all the motoblur stuff but I've been having problems with my battery life still.... I've been running a bunch of apps, IMing, emails, wifi etc.... and it's been lasting about 6 hours.
Today I cut everything back using "advanced task manager free" and after about 6 or 7 hours I still only had like 40% left...... no where near anything like the specs.
Six hours continuous talk time? 325 hours standby? Certainly not the way it comes out of the box! Who are they trying to kid? Is anyone getting anything near this? Is there even any way to get close to that? WTF? Does anyone find these specifications deceptive?
My battery might not be the best but it seems to be at least average from what I hear. Please tell me what setting I need to get this kid of battery life!
Some people here have said deep cycling the battery helps but that's supposed to be bad for lipo batteries
Some people also say you need to charge the battery fully before first use or you can ruin it but no other sites mention that.
I want to be able to use gps and apps and wifi and email and IM during the day w/o being tied to a charger all day. I was a dedicated sidekick user but now love the cliq.... except for the battery life.
I thought of getting a spare battery but don't want to lug an extra battery around...... I've seen apps (APNdroid) that shut off the data to conserve battery life but I want to use the features of the phone... that's why I have it....... what's the answer?
Btw: "battery graph" and "spare parts" are great apps to monitor battery usage.
Also, in some places it says the bp6x battery is rated at 1300 mAh and in other is says 1420 mAh but it's the same battery! What's up with that?
Question: What kind of battery life do you experience with "normal" usage? Does anyone know what settings to use to approximate the times noted in the Cliq specifications?
