I have set it up many times on my Droid. The NT shoves fewer screens. I kind of wonder what will happen if I copy the backup files and do a titanium restore.

I tried the titanium backup restore route and got further. It's still looking for updating security settings and then force closes. I'm really looking for how to get THIS app to work. B&N states their email app doesn't support exchange and to use touchdown. Touchdown does work and works well. I just don't like paying for something if I already have something that should function. I have 29 days left on my touchdown demo to get the native google app running.

After hacking the phone to run webtop without the docks, I was just going about my phone and was curious about the "System updates" button and got this:
Social Networking account required
"com.android.setttings.deviceinfo.CheckUpdate" is not available without a social networking account. To create a new account, click "Setup" button
When I click the setup button, nothing happens. Did I mess up one of the files during the process of hacking my phone, because before attempting the webtop hack, when I still had root and adeo on, I did not get this message.
Account syncing: my facebook account will not sync with the contacts on my phone. The social networking app and widget is not running properly for the same reason as from the message given above ^^.
Can someone help me with this? Thanks
Did you use Titanium Backip to freeze apps. This is a symptom of freezing apps. To get this to work unfreeze all your apps and make sure the MotoBlur account is syncing.
I didn't use titanium backup to freeze any of the apps. I'm still kind of new to android and so I might need some guidance in more simpler terms
Did you create a blur account?
yes and it was already linked when I received my unit on the 21st
would it be reasonable to attempt a factory reset, even though I rooted it and installed ADEO?

What exactly does freezing do? I can't seem to find a answer on the net. Can one manually "defrost" a frozen app?

I think so, I'm pretty sure TiBu just adds a ".bak" to the application because when you freeze something it's still in your app drawer until you restart your phone vs when it's uninstalled its gone instantly. The benifit to freezing vs uninstalling is if you freeze the wrong thing or want it back it's still there, but if you uninstall it it's gone and you'd need to ask someone else for it or something.
anyone solved this error? I also got the error today
Is your phone deodexed? That could be the problem maybe.

Ok, maybe I'm in the wrong place. But here goes.
My phone is trying to send text to paid numbers behind my back. I'm using prepaid so it doesn't work. I get a "You have insufficient funds to send this text" message daily, at random times.
I have no pirated apps. Everything on my phone came straight from the market. However, I've not installed a single one of the apps that was on the recent list all over tech sites.
I'm planning on reflashing with a different rom and changing all the passwords that were stored on my phone.
BUT.
Before I do this, I want to find out which app is causing this behavior. Any Ideas on how to find out what is sending random text from my phone (they don't show up in the messaging app)

viogrep,
I wrote a novel, but then thought I should just ask a few preliminary questions:
Q1) does the error message contain any useful "hints", such as the destination number ?
Q2) if you use a logcat - capturing app, does anything show up in the logcat right around the time the message is generated which might provide some further clues?
There's a lot of different techniques you can use, but they require a bit of effort - not only to perform, but to explain, too.
Q3) Are you willing to post up the output of the "ps" command to a pastebin?
Q4) What apps on your phone request "SEND_SMS" privileges? You can find out with
Code:
strings /data/system/packages.xml > /sdcard/strings-pkgs-xml.txt
and then poking through the "strings-pkgs-xml.txt" file. When you see (for instance)
name="android.permission.SEND_SMS"
the immediately prior package is what requested it. Either that or you can do something tricky like
Code:
strings /data/system/packages.xml | awk '/<package name/{pkg=$2;}; /_SMS/{print pkg, $2;}'
bftb0
1. No destination number in the error. Sorry.
2. Also, no clues in logcat from what I've seen.
3. PS > http://pastebin.com/iUAfP9Yb
4. Besides the default gapps, the only other app with SEND_SMS priv. is Koxx Pure Messenger. (Purchased from the market, Have had for awhile, the sms sending is new)
Going to try to call my provider and see if I can get the number that's been denied because of funds.
*edit* No luck with provider.
I'd really like to know whats doing it so I don't install the same app once I flash. Luckily I keep nothing important on my phone. Its gmail account is actually a duplicate with my original forwarding to it. I'm a tiny bit overprotective over my email(address). :x

I know that it isn't necessarily this simple, but if that really is the only other app besides the GAPPs with SMS priveledges, especially coupled with the knowledge that the SMS capability is new, I think you have your answer.
If you tried a new ROM and restored all but that one app, and the problem never happens again then you can be 95% sure. Only way to be 100% sure is that after a certain length of time without a problem (a week?) you reinstall Koxx and then if the problem starts happening again.
I looked through your "ps" listing.
Didn't see anything too obvious sticking out at me; there were a couple of non-market apps running though. I know that there is no theoretical reason why non-market apps would be malicious - on the other hand, I sort of wonder why they are not on the market... you know what I mean? What is stopping them? (In the case of Tubemate - which was actually kicked off of Google's market, my suspicions are even higher. I realize it was not kicked off because of malware; but still...)
These were the only processes that were either not on my phone, or I didn't really recognize.
Code:
com.dylan.tube = [Non-Market App] Tubemate
com.gau.golauncherex.notification = GO Launcher EX (READ SMS)
com.levelup.beautifulwidgets = Beautiful Widgets (LevelUp)?
com.revsodev.volumecontrol = [Non-Market App] Volume Control (Cyrket?)
com.swype.android.inputmethod = Swype?
com.tencent.research.drop = QQPlayer (no perms req'd?)
net.bajawa.battery = BattStatt (no perms req'd?)
org.sipdroid.sipua = Sipdroid VoIP + video
The Road Warrior has an idea which is sort of useful; but I'll modify it to use binary division.
Start with a freshly installed, clean ROM, and only install half of your apps. (I would put all of your most frequently used apps in the first half, and delay any non-market apps as long as possible). Here's how this goes:
- if the "half" you put on the phone is trouble-free (long enough to know the SMS popup thing is not going on), then, install half of the remaining apps, and wait again to see if there is a problem.
- if the "half" you put on the phone develops trouble, then you know that the problem app is in that group. Wipe the phone and re-install all prior "halves" (that caused no trouble), but split the current half (the group containing the suspect app) in half, and only install that. Proceed in this fashion until you are down to the app which causes the trouble.
If you have 128 apps on your phone, and you wait 1 day between installations, it will take 7 days to find the malicious app. (And if you don't get a failure within the first two days, your phone will have 3/4s of it's apps installed - that's not too bad).
The thing is though, even if you had an app compromise your phone, it might not be an "app" that is doing the dirty work any longer. For example, the most recently discovered malware ran rooting exploits against the device, and once successful, downloaded and installed "other stuff". That "other stuff" could be native binaries. So, examining permissions in the system manifest doesn't necessarily guarantee that you have exhaustively looked at your phone, or discovered all possible means of interacting with the SMS system.
It might be "just an app", though - and if it were me, the first ones that I would suspect are non-Market apps, or apps that *cough* got downloaded from "freeware" sites.
Thanks for the responses. I actually did a fresh flash last night. First thing I installed was tubemate (running through non market apps) and it did it. Ironically I added some money to my account to see if I could get the number it was trying to text. Apparently it still couldn't go through.

I'm always amazed when something I suggested actually works. LOL. It's just that I'm used to things being more complicated than I hope.
Glad you figured out the trouble!
Thanks bt and RW for the help.
As far as the gmail thing... I use a different gmail address on my phone with email forwarded (different pass)...
If it gets taken I just stop the forwarding and make a new one. Makes things a more simple. Sure, they can see past emails, but they cant request passes/info from other sites... (I also monitor the login IPs in gmail, religiously. Just a habbit.)

You're welcome. You could just change your password from the web if your phone gets stolen.
Especially since it's the gmail address you use on your phone that everything is sync'd to, not the one that's forwarding to it. So if you got another Android phone you'd lose all your contact info and bought and installed apps info, calendar and such. Unless you sync them manually which is so much harder in my experience.
Or you could use one of the many free apps out there that would let you remotely do many things to your phone. Turn the GPS on, triangulate your phone, make your phone scream, do a factory reset to erase everything...
Just a suggestion.
Is anybody else having problems with the functionality of sideloaded apps on a non-rooted NT?
I was able to sideload the HomeWork app from the google marketplace (install to phone, titanium backup, uncompress the .apk, push to NT and install). It is a wonderful and simple app my son uses to keep track of his homework (because he won't use a paper planner).
On the surface the app seems to work, but anytime I try to edit the school schedule or add homework assignments the tablet freezes for a few seconds. Once control returns, the app functions normally without the changes having been committed.
This almost feels like a permissions issue where the app doesn't have permissions to save the changes other than the fact that I can import the save file I brought over from his Cruz Reader without problems. This leads me to believe the problem is something else, but I'm not sure what.
Is anybody else encountering similar issues with sideloaded apps? Is there a fix or something I should try? If this has been addressed already, I haven't found it.

If the app needs root access then it won't work. Apps that require root access can sometimes install but will not operate properly. Does the info on the app on the Market mention this? Changing permissions , I seem to recall, is an function requiring superuser. Could be wrong on that though.
It shouldn't require root. I was hoping to avoid rooting the NT (it's primarily for a 12 year old) , but I might need to.
Thanks for the suggestion.

My pleasure. You might look around for an app that performs in a similar manner. Most tasks have several options when it comes to apps.
So, got the nook tablet this morning, and decided to perform the permanent root here
Getting following instructions I was able to root the device on my first try. I began to setup the normal functions for me, exchange email Facebook etc.
FB is not compatible, i'm familliar with the HD2 and market problems with the dpi setting causing some market apps not to be compatible. I'll play with the build.prop and try to find a few good settings....maybe.
well, while setting up email I began to get FC when it would try and allow permissions from the exchange server to control the device (wipe/lock/etc)
Then settings started to FC as well as browser. So what do you do when that happens? why, you FNR (format n restore) of course! So i decided to wipe the nook and start over.
That's where my real fun began.
I don't know how to use adb, so I didn't use that to push applications after the FNR, so don't say "why didn't you just use adb to blah blah..noob..."
I tried to run the script again from the link above, but of course the device was already rooted. Ok, I went looking for a unroot and found the one click unroot. Unfortunatly since I had already FNR the device, su and everything else was gone. the one click did not work for me because of the state I put it in.
dig....read...surf....found a reference to an app but all links to that article on xda were 404.
found online nomoarzergy.zip (giyf)
Ran this, rebooted, then I was able to use the nookandzergy.bat to reroot and debloat.
I have tried the go laucher and the honeycomb launcher but both FC on the mail app with exchange.
Do a search on exchange - I seem to remember a thread here discussing that exchange e-mail won't work on the NT.

i'll dig...playing with new toys right now.

Then you did not correctly do a factory reset, you did a soft reset. Start there and it should fix all the issues.
From what I have read, it looks like B&N crippled activesync security support in their code. Probably so that they could then sell users TouchDown from their app store. TouchDown will work, but it is pricey. I have been looking into the process of restoring or adding the activesync protocols back in to the NT, but haven't spent much time on it. Shafty023 has developed an e-mail apk that "fools" the Exchange server in some cases. You can find it by searching "Shafty023 email." I have not tried it yet, but another poster has reported that it allowed him to access his Exchange email on his NT.

Yeah this is the one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8007001&postcount=1 - Users just have to replace the original email.apk for this one MANUALLY. The same dev is also the creator of enhanced email which is an excellent app but it is not free.
Veronica
That is helpful information. I didn't know it was the same developer. EE is more reasonably priced than TouchDown. Do you know if EE will pull data into the Calendar and Contact apps loaded with the indirect root? I may test it with the file you link to and ,if it works, buy EE to get the upgrades.

Does anyone know of a way to add an account to the market without linking it to the gmail or any other apps? Basically I would like to link my gmail account into the market on my wifes phone without everything else bring affected. I've been looking around for something on this for a while and have had no luck. My wife wants some apps I've had but doesn't want to spend on it since I already put out the money for them. I even have paid apps dating back to day 1 of the market even having them.
I've wondered how to do this myself because when you hit the menu button, it shows account(s). Seems you should be able to switch between two or more. What if your Gmail gets hacked and you have to disable it? You lose all your apps and such. They should link it to your IMEI but there are so many things that run off Gmail (Gmail, Market, G+,...), I doubt that would work.
Back to your original question. What I do is make a back up of mine with Titanium and then copy the files to my PC and put them in my wife's Titanium folder and just restore them that way. She can't get updates, but most of them are incremental anyways. If something big happens in an update, I just update it on my end, back it up and do the switheroo on hers. I also "Detach From Market" on her phone so she doesn't get the update notification. Might seem unethical if I was doing it for you or someone else, but she is my wife and we are the same household, so I think it is fair enough.

I've thought about the unethical aspect as well and the way I see it it's no different then if she watches a movie I buy.
Her phone isn't rooted (yet), I've had trouble with the adb aspect of it and from what I've read using super one click and adb is the only way to do it. I was going to root it because the my touch q has way too much bloat and it bogs down performance.
As far as using titanium goes, I have done that in the past but so many apps have verification now it can be a pain. This way would give her free range over what WE paid for.
