[Q] Browser Freeze, lousy speaker sound - Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet

Has anyone had problems with their browser freezing when using the Nook's stock browser? I can barely surf five minutes without having to repeatedly close, stop, then reopen the stock browser, because it's frozen AGAIN. I'm willing to try any browsers that others can suggest if they're not having this problem with them. After all, being able to surf while hanging out in the living room is one of the main reasons I bought the Nook "Tablet".
I've seen discussions about browser freezing issues in the BN Nook forums, but no solutions, other than a claim that upgrading to 1.4.1 will solve the problem. That seems to be in dispute, however... and beyond that, I have no plans to update, since I'm rooted.
Also, what's up with the pitiful volume on the external speaker? I can barely hear the sound in movies and games, even with the volume turned up full. And Lord help me if there's any noise whatever in the room. Sure, I could get an external speaker or wear earbuds whenever I listen, but it's really annoying to know that my 4" Samsung Captivate, at full volume, is three times as loud as my Nook Tablet.
If anyone can suggest a software-oriented solution to this problem--or a way to increase the default volume levels without jumping through hoops, I would really appreciate it.

Dolphin HD for browser replacement ... not sure about the sound.

Thanks for the suggestion re: Dolphin.
Apparently, this thing with the sound is not an isolated issue; more than one person on the BN Forums has mentioned it, and some have even gone ahead and gotten a refund.
Though I really like the Nook most ways, I admit, I'm thinking about getting a refund myself. The main stopper is not so much the cost of the other tabs, but the fact that many of them aren't as powerful as the Nook and aren't getting as much attention from the devs here at XDA.
It's just too bad the Nook has got these bugs and is attached to a company that, though it's own offerings are pitifully few, insists on forcing its customers into settling for what they want to offer, and nothing more. It could be such an awesome Tablet, if BN wasn't being so anal.

For the sound issue you can use a program called
Equalizer. Look for it in Android Maeketplace. Once installed
It will add a shortcut in your notifications bar
At the bottom. Use the power button on the right
to turn on features, but I would recommend only
Checking the equalizer. DO NOT check reverb
Because it causes stuttering. Lastly, click ok in dialogue box
and then select Equalizer at top. Adjust the middle and high range
Frequencies for a noticeable boost. TIP.. Make sure your
speaker is not obstructed by a protector or case. Good Luck!

Anyone have the 250gb Archos 70?

Want to know if you see any performance/functionality difference with the extra space/different storage?
Well I don't have an 8gb tablet to compare to but I really enjoy the tablet so far. It moves relatively fast. Sometimes certain apps or jumping amongst them can cause less than instant loading but it certainly isn't bad. One recommendation I have though is to shut off Wi-Fi at night or whenever you know you're not going to use it. Leaving it on while the tablet goes into standby can cause it to die overnight.
I was thinking of getting one and using it as like my media hub for my car is that a bad idea. ... what do you guys think
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
How would that work? Sorry, I've never seen one before. But as far as storage piece for media that should be cool. I'm sure there are plenty of musical apps on the market to choose from to find the right one.
I have since a few weeks the Archos 70 250gb. After the latest Firmware Update it works fantastic. Lots of space of course on its hd... maybe sometimes a bit slow (might a SSD be faster - but more expensive, right)...
Movies are great, most apps work. Resolution is ok... better then expected.
I only would trade it in for another tablet with big storage...
One of the few things that bother me ist the on/off button. It cannot be locked. This is annoying, if you have the tablet in your case and by mistake you touch it... Always have to put in a way that nothing touches that button.
It doesn't replace my laptop, but it replaces nearly my phone. I used with skype for calling and it works fine.
It's a newspaper in the morning, it helps me with my gym excercises, my language learning, my social contacts, watching movies, listening to music...
It is big enough to enjoy a movie, but yet small enough to carry anywhere without "showing" off.
And all for a relatively small pricetag.
I would say, go for it... or maybe you already did?

Recent response from HTC about audio buzzing/noise issue

Sent the following email to HTC and here's the thread that follows, thought some people might be interested in this:
My Rezound is having a weird high pitched whining sound in the background whenever the capacitive buttons are lit up on the bottom of my phone. So if I'm outdoors in a sunny area, I have no problems, but if I'm using the phone in the dark, I have to turn off the screen (which turns off the lights on the capacitive buttons), and then the whining goes away, but obviously this doesn't solve the problem if I need to use the screen. Is there any way to turn off the lights on the capacitive buttons using a menu option or something? Also, have there been a lot of reports of this whining noise in the background?
Thanks!
(I found out how to resolve the issue, I installed a custom ROM that allows me to change the brightness of the capacitive buttons, and the problem has gone away).
HTC-
Thank you for your response. I am glad to hear that you resolved this issue, however it is unfortunate that it took you a custom ROM to do so. I can confirm Mike that HTC has identified the issue of the high pitched noise on the HTC Rezound as a software issue that will be corrected with the next update. This issue is presently being investigated and our developers are working hard at creating a maintenance release for this device. Because you now have a custom ROM you will not receive a direct notification when the FOTA (forced over the air) update gets released. When the update is made available Mike, you can check our web site at HTC from time to time to see if it has been released as a manual update for your phone, should you want to return to the stock OS. The backlight of the keys is also something that some of our users have asked about. I will pass along your feedback on this issue to our developers, and it's possible that in future updates there may be an option to disable the backlight manually using a menu option. It's definitely a good idea, so I hope that this becomes a standard feature in future models from HTC. If you need additional information on the Rezound, you may wish to check your user manual from HTC . Please use the binocular icon on the left side of the manual to enter key words. Using this method helps you to locate all references to the topic you are researching. I deeply regret any inconvenience this may have caused, and I hope that your custom ROM allows you to continue to use and enjoy your HTC Rezound to its full potential. Please don't hesitate to contact us again with your technical questions or for issues you may have with your phone. We are here between 6am and 1am EST, 7 days a week for your convenience.
ME-
I don't think it's unfortunate I had to use a custom ROM to solve the problem, but I understand what you mean by that. I still hear the noise when the screen comes on or goes off, but at least it isn't constant now. I'm glad to know that HTC is aware of the issue though and is rolling out a fix in the next update (which I'm hoping will be the official Ice Cream Sandwich update). Also, being able to control the backlight on the capacitive buttons is really awesome, even if it wasn't the solution to removing the high pitched noise. It's great when I'm watching Netflix at night in bed and I don't want the lights to distract me from what I'm watching, I just put it on the "dim" setting. I am extremely happy with my Rezound, I'm really hoping that Google allows HTC to make the next Nexus phone, because I know you guys would make something awesome (unlike the current Galaxy Nexus which has a sub-par camera, non-removable SD card, and cheaper construction in comparison to the Rezound). HTC has won a long time customer, I can't wait to see what you guys do next!
-HTC
Thank you for your feedback. I am glad to hear that you are happy with the solution you found, and that the new Ice Cream Sandwich features are proving to be useful on your Rezound. I have only had a brief look at ICS on the HTC Vivid, and I like what I've seen so far. Overall the improvements seem very user friendly. I am also hopeful that ICS will be the next update pushed for the HTC Rezound as many of our devoted fans are anxiously awaiting this software upgrade. Like you, I hope that HTC will again partner with Google for the Nexus line. The original Nexus One, though not as new as the Galaxy, continues to be a fan favorite among many HTC and android enthusiasts. In closing, I would like to invite you to participate in a customer satisfaction survey about your experience with HTC Technical Support. You will need to close your ticket with me and you should receive a pop-up asking if you would like to take the survey. To do this, please log in to our ContactUs site at HTC website with your email address and ticket number XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX and select "Close" next to "Action" to close out the ticket. Then a pop-up should appear asking you to take part in a survey. You can also add any feedback about your experience contacting us in Question 8 on the survey, or even submit product suggestions. HTC is always interested in hearing from users as to what they may be looking for in the next generation of HTC android phones. Thank you again for your interest in HTC! It's always nice to hear positive feedback from our customers.
My squealing sound only happens when I have an audio cable connected from my rezound to my car's headunit and when I have the USB cable connected to my phone. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm using the official car charger or using a standard USB cable to charge via a USB port on my headunit. IIRC it happened on GB and it also happens on ICS :-/ I think it's actually the issue of the audio cable being crappy because I don't notice it while using headphones.
That's crazy I haven't heard of anyone getting a reply fron htc before that's sweet man. Although there emails were about when the ics update would be out or how and they were they went getting one (evo4g) lol

That is a seperate issue that is caused by your cars electrical system. I have both issues and I believe they are due to the same problem from different sources. Both are ground interference/feedback, one from the car, the other from the phone itself. This phone just seems to be really sensitive to interference. Thank god it goes away in both cases when the music/audio starts playing or it would have to be returned.
Rep was so friendly lol.... Now if we can get others to be the same
Yes, I noticed I get an extreme amount of alternator whine when charging in the car and have the phone plugged into the aux input of the radio. It's like they forgot to put ground filters in the audio circuit.

mine went from whining, which I tolerated, to much much worse sounds. Crackle, pop, L/R channels intermittently cutting out, etc. If I even touched the plug on the phone side, crackle city. It's almost like the audio input jack has a loose connection to the board. Anyway, Verizon was super cool about it. Called, explained I've tried the usual software fixes (updates, factory reset, etc) since I know they'd want me to try that first...(which I have, multiple times, for different reasons). Less than 5 minutes on the phone today, and an hour later I had a FedEx tracking number showing it'll be here tomorrow.
I've always been super impressed with Verizon's replacement policies. They've never done me wrong.
I love how you told HTC ur running a custom rom.
Also my phone has no audio problems like you guys mentioned but when I plug my beats into my beats computer too loud gives me a little static noise at of left ear bud.
Temp fix for Rezound high pitched whine
Not sure if this has been brought up as a "temp" solution, but wanted to share as it’s made my Rezound much better. I saw this on the HTC Community forums by James on 01/18/12. I am not affiliated with the app in any way.
On my Rezound (stock), the static was fixed with the last OTA update, but I still had the high pitched whine when the screen was on (and sometimes a little bit after it went off). Downloaded the app the guy mentioned and I don't get the whine anymore. No more back-lit buttons while it’s enabled, but the sound is great again. Hopefully HTC will have a fix for what seems like interference from the buttons being lit. FYI – The shortcut on the screen acts like a toggle after the initial setup, so it’s easy to enable/disable.
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/176/p/15312/62734.aspx#62734
“I noticed that the phone would have that "whine / hiss" sound every time the capacitive buttons would light up, and the sound would go away after they turned off.. So I got an app of the marketplace called "Screen Filter" and using this app allowed me to turn off the soft-key backlight function at all times.
For me this has eliminated the high pitched whine noise that was pouring into my left ear, however there is still a pop sound when the audio is first turned on for applications or videos.”

Well I figured since they now actually support unlocking their phones on their website they KNOW that people running custom ROMs. I probably would have mentioned it anyway though.

That's good info for those still on stock, maybe you can contact the developer of the app and ask them to add an option to change the backlight from off to dim instead, it works great for me on CleanROM. Or you can just unlock, root, and install CleanROM

[Q] Croaking / Chirping Transformer Prime

Hi
Recently my UK TF201 has begun making an intermittent croaking noise. It does this at totally irregular timings and often without any user activity occurring at the time.
My Prime is stock and not rooted. It is not associated with any particular program or app running in the background and is becoming very annoying. I'm writing this now after having been woken up by one of the croak sounding noises.
Look forward to your recommendations.

Please post a video
I'd love to be able to, as this would have saved me having to write the description as best I could. Unfortunately though, it makes the noise only a couple of times a day. Often just the one chirp/croak sound but occasionaly it will put out a couple within a second or two of the first. I don't have the time or a memory card large enough to sit with recording, waiting for it to croak before editting it down for a video I'm afraid.
It isn't exactly like a frogs "ribbit", its more or a deep "ugggh" but my children refer to it as croaking.
I've heard an identical sound before from a friends laptop, which he brought round to show me. It made these random noises a couple of times a day for about a fortnight, before it crashed and died. I hope these symptoms are not an indicator of a similar fate for my lovely Prime.

Yea I was thinking it was probably random, so it'd be hard to catch on film. That's so odd though. Doesn't look like anyone has any idea, since no one has posted. Does it come out of the speaker, or resonate out of the whole device? Does it do it if it's completely shut off?
Thanks for the reply Jay.
I'm darned if I can tell where the noise comes from. It's occurred a number of times whilst I've been using it but unfortunately with the speaker located on the back it is difficult to know whether it's from within the unit or speaker generated. Personally, I'm 99% confident it's from the speaker, it's just the 1% I can't fully confirm.
With regard to whether it happens with the unit shutdown, I rarely do a full shutdown other than once a week and then only for a full restart. It hasn't been left off for a long period to monitor. However it does this random chirping when in use and when in standby (screen switched ogg). Sorry can't be any more descriptive.
Mine does it some times. Nothing to be worried about tho...
That sound is typical from CPUs. Some laptops/desktops do that sound too.
There was a case from some Dell XPS that were doing that sound so loud that you could hear your CPU even with the internal fan at full speed.. they were offering a free CPU change for these users.
Sometimes my laptop does that sound too (AMD Phenom II X4) and my gfs laptops (Intel i5). I have yet to find what triggers it... but all my machines have done it.
Thanks Zephyrot
Yes that's exactly the noise. The laptop that my friend had was a Dell XPS 1210. Perhaps it was just a coincidence then that the laptop died a couple of weeks after it starting making this noise.
The noise that occurs usually at least once an hour has not occurred in the 2 hours that I have had it totally down powered for investigation. This therefore also lends itself to your theory that it could be CPU based.
The problem I'm having though is that it is loud enough to wake me up when it erupts with one of these chirp/croaks. If someone actually knows why the internals make this noise and more importantly what can be done to stop it from occurring, I would be grateful.
I appreciate that down powering is an option but this is not something that I had intended to do with a tablet. I use my table at work and need to get access to it within 15 seconds of picking it up. Turning the screen off and with such a good battery life, I can readily access information on the fly, whereas having to turn it on would mean waiting up to 2 minutes which is just too long I'm afraid.
Is there anything else you can add Zephyrot with regard to describing the noise, or diagnosing that you have done for the rest of the community to be able to comment on?

There is obviously an animal stuck in your tablet, probably small frog or bird. I would RMA immediately before the animal dies.

N9 Audio Feedback & Noise??

Hello all, some background first...
I'm having some audio problems with my N9.. It's a black, 32Gb, wifi only version, rooted and running pretty much a stock rom... 'Lollipopalooza', I believe.. (Nice by the way)
I bought it on Amazon about two or three weeks ago for $429, plus I received the $50 Google Play Store credit. Good deal, or so I thought.
Ok so... Like the title says, I'm getting audio feedback, noise, popping, and a sort of skipping effect, while streaming music and surfing the web, loading a webpage, or opening an app.
It sounds a lot like 28k modem from 1996... This happens no matter what app or web stream, and really ruins the multitasking/tablet experience. My N7's (2012 and 2013), never did this.
Has anyone had this happen, and is there a fix?? Or should I return it for another one and cross my fingers??
P.S. I also have the 'flat buttons' issue and screen bleed too.. Thoughts?
Thanks for any "Feedback"... Lol
Its not just you, I have the exact same issue. Its like speaker lag or some ****. Between that and screen flicker this thing is pissing me off. I only really use it for web browsing and youtube, so those 2 issues are quickly making this thing a brick to me.

Huawei Media Pad M5 Minor Annoyances/ Help thread

OK. So I'm sure as this tab gets out there more and more, there will be rumblings and grumblings with this generally awesome device. I've had mine (SHT-AL09) for three weeks here in the U.S. and while overall I am very happy, nothing is above some criticism and there are some things I could use some help with.
I've already mentioned in another thread having issues with the position of the volume rocker and power button as well as the overall shape. This device is not boxxy like the X2 I'm replacing and it takes some getting used to.
With this, I am deathly afraid of dropping it because of the shape. I did buy a folio wallet; but ultimately, I want a semi stiff gel case to absorb some shock. I have ordered one from China; but it looks like it could take up to 6 weeks to get it here in the US. So, I can use any advice or links for a gel case for this tab in the US. Also any recommendations for a quality gel case is likewise desired.
Secondly, this tab annoyingly begins playing music ANY TIME it connects to a blue tooth device (not sure if this is Huawei or Android.) This is real annoying when I get into my car first thing in the morning and I am met with Ronnie James Dio blaring at me before I've had my coffee. Anyone know how I can stop this from happening? My sanity demands it (BTW, deleting RJD from my library is not an option.)
Otherwise, I'm loving this tab and totally psyched to have a giant screen with LTE capability and a dialer!! Hopefully, this will set a trend and show the world we are a market best not ignored.
I had been having trouble getting Aquamail to activate the LED indicator on new messages. Supposedly, Huawei is known to make it hard for non-stock apps to activate the LED. However, in this case I eventually realized that the issue was that the LED didn't support the light blue color that was set by default in Aquamail. I changed it to red and new e-mails now trigger the LED.
I have noticed that when I adjust screen brightness via a 3rd party app - i.e. HD Widgets or Setting Profiles Lite - the screen brightness reverts to something different after I turn the screen off and back on again. This might not turn out to be an annoyance, as I kind of like the way auto brightness works on this device.
Is this thing supposed to be VOLTE capable? If so, I imagine it can be enabled via the build.prop file. I don't get VOLTE, nothing I care about too much but it would be nice.
I'd love to be able to customize the appearance/structure of the notification bar and quick settings. I used 'Color Status Bar' for this on my Sony Z3TC and it worked really well. It doesn't seem to work with Oreo.
What opens up automatically to play music when you connect a bluetooth device? That has gotta be an easy problem to solve. Also, I think it has to do with your car stereo more than anything else.
Hey, it's the stock music player. I tried changing the default music player but the stock one still starts playing every time I connect to my car radio. I heard there is a third party app to address this but I'd prefer to stay within the stock system if possible.
What I really find annoying is the bug with keyboard attached: Brightness Controll pops up randomly, interrupting my typing ... really annoying ...
(M5 Pro, Germany)
There are some differences between emui 8 on the M5 and emui 8 on the Mate SE. Didn't expect that. Not pleased about it, as they are things that get used frequently. An AOSP rom would change that of course.
I didn't find the sharp edges very comfortable when typing. Found a soft tpu case that makes things a lot better. Not a fan that the main camera sticks out a bit which seems like it would get damaged when putting the tablet down on a hard surface. Again, the case helped with that.
Didn't like that the navbar was eating up screen space but found an option to use the finger print scanner as the nav bar, which I prefer after getting used to it.
Overall I'm enjoying the tablet, love the display.
Okay, since we're airing grievances
I think the design of their hardware for phones is awesome, works perfectly. I don't think the same design translates to tablets. Tablets are held and used differently than phones, thus need an appropriate sized bezel, weight etc.
Just my .02

I generally agree - but really the only thing I would change on the 8.4 version is the placement of the fingerprint sensor, which is too easy to press on accident when holding the tablet in landscape orientation and typing or what not. It should be nearly to the far right of the tab's bottom area, not dead center.
And really, this would be obvious to any ux designer testing the product, the problem is there is too much emphasis on blindly copying Apple and Samsung. Apple is a cult and Samsung makes extremely high quality hardware that isn't always user friendly.
My two issues right now is that 3rd Party Music apps don't show the album cover and stuff on the lockscreen. And that my device vibrates like twice after rebooting it.
Couldn't find a workaround so far
Here's a minor annoyance - try sending a text message to a number without typing a '1' before the number...you'll get an error message: '(555) 555-5555' is not a valid recipient.' Instead, you have to type out 1-555-555-5555.
Just checkng in. Brought this up when I started the thread, but has anyone found a way to stop the stock music player from starting up every time the tab is connected to any bluetooth audio device?

No updates since March on my M5 8.4" Uk wifi?? WTF Huawei, you never change
@kedge probaly you would like to have a look at HFF, there are several new updates available. Either do a manual update using HFF or wait another few days until the update arrives via OTA.
Only update there seems since the one I have is 151 but not approved.
Still really not a good sign not having monthly security updates.

Anyone got any opinions on the screen/ratio for reading pdfs and web browsing? I'm on the fence about getting one of these.
I have firmware version .122 i found on FF that there is .123 available and approved for install so i use vpn to force update but during install it fails at few percent that it failed to verify. What to do?
Thanks
Also does the storage option for SD install of apps do something?
Still not able to figure out how to stop the damned music app from blaring every time I connect via bluetooth to my car stereo. I'm thinking the problem may be at the car stereo end as others are not having this issue. My latest nuisance is constantly turning on the screen accidentally. Wondering if there is any way to customize the screen wake up options. Maybe changing the behavior of the front facing button or something else. I was also having problems with applications shutting down mid text while using a third party keyboard. (Swype.) I finally had to delete the keyboard and go back to stock.
So for me the screen density was driving me nuts. Everything was way bigger than my previous tablet, even after setting the view mode to "small".
I fixed this by going into developer options and setting the smallest width to 750. More fits on the screen now. Much better.
