Too curious - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

I was on a 5 hour flight earlier today, and while I was on the flight I got bored with my nook so I started trying to figure out the different settings that anycut can create shortcuts to..... Beware don't do it. 2 of them did nothing because of an error, and the last one I did said "you do not have permission" then my nook rebooted and erased most everything...
Except, the hacker keyboard was there, the search button said it was not installed, and I couldn't use the unroot.apk because I no longer had superuser access.
Doing the 8 failed boot attempts got me back to square 1, and I also figured out how to bypass the out of box experience. I didn't have wifi and it also bypassed my registering my nook.
FYI: to bypass at the factory startup screen, hold volume up and tap the lower left then the lower right hand sides of the screen in that order... A button will show up that says factory, click it and then hold the volume up and tap the lower right hand side of the screen. Another box will appear then you can click "skip oobe".

This will probably halve your battery life (which should be 8hrs+ with wifi, 10 without).

what will halve my battery life? not registering?

I believe one person (at least) had this experience and the general belief is that not registering caused some B&N service to constantly run in the background. If you see otherwise, please let us know.

Is there an app that I can run to view to monitor this?

I thought we have successfully debloat all the bn svc, didn't we? It's kinda moot since the ota seems to not care if you have registered or not.
On another note, i noticed the owner and account name in my settings menu changed to "unavailable" after i debloat. Anyone has any ideas?

I was desperate on the flight because now I didn't have anything to play with.
When my device originally reset, the oobe was giving me errors because I had deleted the devicemanager.apk to hopefully stop updates. But doing so made it impossible for me to get past the registration screen because necessary files were missing.
Did a google search on my iPhone while on the plane to figure out how to get past the startup registration and wifi process

Well you can just time battery usage and watch it go down, but yeah there are various battery programs to track it (betterbatterystats etc). It's not "a little bit" - it's almost halved. Sure, go test it and report back. More data points are always useful

Preparations before returning Prime

So I got a 32-GB gray Prime from Best Buy that I'm going to be returning tomorrow. Do I just have to do a factory reset to wipe everything from my Prime? Thanks in advance.

Yeah, factory reset will wipe personal data and return it to the "first boot" status.
Google kinda sucks and you cannot simply delete the device from your Google marketplace account, but you can hide it. Hiding will remove it from the various menus when downloading/purchasing apps.

How do you hide the device?
Yup! Just make sure all the cables are in the box and do the reset. I returned mine due to a minor screen botch. It wasn't much but I didn't pay 500 bucks for a defect that was an eye sore on white screens.
Just be prepared to get a million questions from Best Buy. They looked at me like I was trying to steal their first born when I returned mine.

Go to https://market.android.com/account
And then click the settings tab. You should see all your registered devices, click edit on the right, select "Hidden in menus" and then click update on the right.

I don't know about you but if I select to Hide one phone another then gets altered to Shown.
I have several phones/tablets which no matter how many times you try to hide it then automatically changes one of the others to shown.
It's like playing cat & mouse with Google Account Settings.
Returning mine tomorrow, too. Unfortunately it has screen issues. At the left and right end of the screen for about 1cm there is some visible whatever, I suppose it is glue which not disappeared. It's only clearly visible at grey or darker backgrounds (like the IMDB app for example), but I dont pay 600€ for a tablet with such screen issues.
Replacement will take 1-2 month according to Amazon.de...

Help Me Setup My Omate!!!

Im usually pretty good at figuring tthe smartwatches out. but how do you get to the different screens on the watch? whe i turn it on i get on screen with instagram .calculater etc. when i swipe i get to blank pages. ive accidenttly stumbled across other screens with other things on them but i have no idea what i did to get there! is there a manual for how to use this watch? or can someone give me some basic instructions please???
I suggest you hold the bottom button down till the task list comes up, then swipe left to kill OUI2.0 launcher. When you do that, you will get a screen where you can select from available launchers...pick the little house with the android in it. Things will be more familiar then.

That is because you haven't installed Google Apps yet, which is part of installing the Play Store. Check around XDA for installing Play Store. I haven't redone mine since I got it in early February, so I can't walk you through it.

Sorry but have to be blunt. Using any x201 unpatched is extremely dumb. Unpatched, a hacker, malware and even malicious websites can remotely steal your info off the device an then brick it.

went there. not being a developer, its all a little greek to me. i really am afraid to start screwing around with the watch without knowing what i am doing. i also dont know if i should get a sim card or not before i attempt anything. anyone caare to help me root or patch my mod and walk me thru it so i can get this watch up and running?
It doesn't get any simpler than this.
Most of the guides here for the x201 are done in such a way that you do exactly what the instructions say. Except for some rare cases, 99% of the time there are issues is because somebody skipped a step or did the steps out of order. The other part of the problem is people think "OMG new tech! It must be scary and complicated" when in fact the core concepts are the exact same as a computer. Install software, click button(s), wait, done.

OK Well i got my yahoo mail set up. also got google play store on by emailing it to myself and then installing it. also found some apk's that i had from my zwatch that work on the omate: Aquamail, Easy uninstaller, Battery meter.
Two BIG questions: why does the watch have 2 sets of screens? the main screen set(which seems to be the default) with the blue background and the other set you get to by swiping down thats got a dark grey background with similar apps but has folders and more apps. i'd like to make that my default) but everytime you push the bottom button, it goes to the original blue default screen. same when you turn off and on the watch, it defaults to the blue set. how do you get rid of that blue default screen set. also is there a gmail app or do ii have to DL from play store? and is there a call log app? i cant find it if there is. THANKS!!
So you didn't install any patch. Not good. Almost every bit of info you just put on your watch (passwords, usernames, contacts, etc.) is now accessible by hackers, malware and malicious websites. Your watch can also be bricked remotely as well.

plus i cant get my computer to see the watch as a drive. i tried it with windows 7 and 8.1 and no luck. so i cant patch it unless i can get the computer to see the watch.
You don't need your computer to see it as a drive to patch it. Where did you read that you did?
Windows does not have to see any phone as a drive to recognize that it's there.
Getting your watch to be seen as a drive on your computer
Connect watch to PC
On the watch either a screen will pop up with a button saying "Turn on USB Storage" or "USB Connected" shows up in notifications
If you do not get the popup tap on "USB Connected" in notifications, the popup should now appear.
If none of these things happens the most likely cause it that the dock is defective.

There has been less than 5 reports of somebody actually bricking their watch and it wasn't from running either patch. The worst that happens is that you have to flash factory firmware to the watch. In the instances of people bricking their watch it has been because of flashing untested firmware that they got from somewhere other than myself.
The two sets of "screens" are launchers. You can either clear the defaults for the primary launcher or factory reset your watch.

Ok Google not working from lock screen or screen off

I went into google now search settings and performed the voice training and enabled the option for hot word detection from lock screen and power off but it doesn't work. the only time it works is when i'm at the home screen UNlocked OR at the google now search area. Screen off or from lock screen detection simply does not work.
does anyone else notice this?
I don't have the nexus 9 but I did install the latest google now search and launcher from apkmirror .com and there was an always listening option in 'hotword detection' in voice settings of the google now. There was also the screen off detection option but it was greyed out. I had the always listening in all apps option enabled and it was working greatly but the next day I woke up and the feature wasn't working so I went into settings and discovered that both of those options had disappeared (not greyed out but freaking disappeared), its some kind of google restriction, they are remotely restricting users from using these features for some unexplained reason.
Maybe its the same for u or it might be something else.
Same here, bit worked arter reboot
It works for a while after a reboot, but eventually stops working after a couple hours.
Looks like a common bug, I've seen some threads about this same issue (and I'm experiencing the same problem, too)

there is an option in Google Now -> Settings -> Voice -> OK google detection ....a check box exists here stating:
When Locked
Allow "OK Google" to start a voice search or action from a secure lock screen
so, it would seem that this is what was intended. perhaps what they meant here was that the screen has to be on and not timed out. dunno.
Yes, but screen has to be on. Only nexus 6 and 9 support GN with screen locked and off
Google search from locked screen works for a while and then stops. It's done this on my s4 and note 3. It is defenetly supposed to work from secure lock screen. In Google now settings there is a 3rd check box and you even get a warning stating anyone may be able to unlock your phone.
Google needs to fix this issue. I'm not sure what's up with these companies making screwed up software. Where are the devs, and why are they getting paid if they can't make flawless software. When I crash My car into a tree trying to unlock my phone and I press a law suit against google I'll bet they will fix it. Always takes a law suit to fix ****.
Oh. Anyone notice every app you've ever paid for or downloaded is under my apps "all" what's up with "all" I'll file my documents in my office under the "all" folder and see how quickly I get fired...Thanks for allowing me to rant.
Happy new year!

Major issue

Recent apps frequently empty. Plus Split Screen

Is anyone else having problems with their recent apps not showing up? Today marks the second time that my recent apps has remained empty no matter how many times I pressed the button. The screen was never turned off...it's not the built in task killer. Eventually it will work and show the long list of apps I've used so they weren't killed they just wouldn't show up. Any ideas? You can imagine how frustrating it is not being able to jump between apps.
As a bonus, in my frustration I pressed and held the recent apps button and discovered this phone (EMUI 4) has a split screen which I haven't seen advertised anywhere else. I've actually read complaints about its lack of a slit screen so if there's a tips and tricks forum someone should post that for me.
I don't know the solution for this, but I suggest a factory reset, and thank you for the tip (split screen)

In developer options in last section, there is an option Don't keep activities it might be enabled so.

Serious problem with Google factory reset protection. RCA Viking Pro 10"

Ok, so heres my problem. Ill try and be as specific as possible without acting like a crazy person, because i am at my wits end with this.
I bought this tablet cheap at a pawn shop. They said it was locked and they 100% could not contact the original owner of it. Me, being somewhat learned with android stuffs, said ok, i will reset it from the recovery menu, NO PROBLEM. yea right. Get home, reset it and now I am introduced to this new Google factory reset protection business.
Now I have researched all possible ways to bypass this. The #1 solution is to get into the settings menu and enable developer options and go from there. I have enabled developer options on every android i have ever owned. Somehow, with this p.o.s. tablet....it will not work. I have tried every which way to tap build number 1, 000 times and nothing. For some reason, I cant get it to work.
Another solution that i found was to download and sideload this app to bypass it for you. Technically, its for Samsung devices, but i tried it anywho. All good until i plug the tablet into my pc. The PC wont recongnize the stupid tablet.
I am asking EVERYONE and ANYONE. Is there some other way for me to get past this crap? It is a RCA Viking Pro 10" tablet Android version 6.0 Model Number-RCT6303W87M7
PLEASE HALP!
Thanks in advance peoples,
-Jess
Same exact tablet and problem too.
My neighbor got it at an auction and I've done the Wipe Data/Factory Reset and then the trick to get into settings but tapping on Build doesn't work. Someone mentioned that 4 long taps worked for them so I tried that too with no luck. Not sure what else to do but send the neighbor to a cellphone repair store but it's for his grandson so I wanted to help out. Any advice/instructions would be great.
Thanks,
Roger

I think I may have solved this problem. I also may have been the first to do this since I haven't found the answer anywhere else and I successfully accomplished it very easily actually after weeks of trying every available method out there. I hope this helps everyone. Let me know how it goes. Here goes: after getting to the page asking for the previous owners info, I hit the back button. I hit add network and typed in several random letters. I then long pressed those letters and clicked assist. I then clicked on gmail and was taken to the permissions and such page. I clicked on the 3 dots in the upper right and clicked manage apps. From there it took me to the settings page. Once in settings, I simply just added another user account and entered my current google information and went through all the steps. After I made it to the home screen I powered off the tablet and then restarted it. It asked for my info again and I entered my google information and it took me to the home screen after answering a few more questions. I then went to settings and deleted the user account I set up and that made me owner. I even did a complete reset and it no longer had the previous owners info. It only needed mine. FINALLY, I can use this tablet after weeks and frustration of trying to bypass this. Please let me know if this works for anyone. I may have left out something on accident if it doesn't. I'll redo it if I have to and possibly make a video if so. Thanks. I hope this does the trick. It would be nice to be the first at something for once if this is the case. Lol

Well, turns out this tablet is a RCT6603 with the last patch date being June 2016. It wouldn't let me enter a Google account - it would go straight to the screen where it said this tablet was reset and to enter the previous owner's account information. Google must have really patched that version tight as a drum...
Glad it's at least working for you though.

Mine was RTC6303 with an earlier date than yours , I used the 4 long presses to get into developers mode and it worked.... Russ
an old thread but figured id add a note in case anyone comes looking later :
go through setup, enter wifi and when it comes up asking for previous owners info, hit back till you get to wifi screen, click on 'add wifi' then hit a few random characters, click and hold on the characters and then select 'ASSIST'.
When new window opens up, type chrome and select the chrome app when it shows in the dropdown menu, download and install google account manager 6.0.1 apk, then download and install quick shortcut maker, open quick shortcut maker and then type 'google account manager' in search bar. click on this and then from the options that open, select the 1 that ends with 'loginactivity' and then select 'Try IT', from the new screen that opens up, click the 3 dots at top right of screen and select 'Browser Sign-in'. Log in with your Google credentials, once it goes back to the quick shortcut maker screen, use power button to restart tablet, proceed through setup as per normal and instead of going to the google login screen, itll come up stating that your new accounts are ready for use.
once you have went through setup fully, goto settings and factory reset the tablet, this will get the tablet to a 'brand new out of the box' state and remove those previous credentials from your legally purchased 2nd hand tablet
It worked!
Thank you your instructions worked perfectly.
Hi there! So happy to see that this post was updated!!
I found a bit of a quicker way to get through the FRP issue thanks to everyones comments.
1. Connect to wifi
2. Back out and click add new network. Type some letters and highlight, click on Assist.
3. In the search box start typing Settings and wait for the settings app to appear. Click that.
4. Go to Back up and Reset. Click Factory Reset which will delete the connected google account.
Thanks guys! Also plugging in a mouse made it way easier to zip through all the steps.
So I do everything that all of you have tried and it wont work. I got the tablet from my grandmother who passed away. I am getting more irritated with the device as I do not have the money to buy a new one. I do as everyone says to do however there is no assist button at all when I highlight everything.... help please.... Im pulling my hair out over this
I found the easiest way to get into settings, theres a button on the keyboard with the settings icon, press it and it takes you straight to the settings menu.
