Hey everyone,
Just curious if anyone has had similar troubles as I tried contacting b&n support and got absolutely no where. I can read books on the app however when I try and open the magazines I have in the b&n store it just shows a black screen and I have to kill the app in order to leave. I have the app on my phone and it displays correctly on it. Both are running versions of cm10. Anyone have any ideas??
Tablet info:
11/24 cm10 acclaim
8gb version
Thanks for any help!
Have you try too delete the app and download it out of the play store again?
I just tried mine and it was a bit slow but worked.

Yeah, a couple of times...I might try some other roms to see if that is the issue. I am running v.3.3.0.26.andtbl of the app on my tablet and v3.3.0.26.andmbl on my phone. I have included some screenshots so you can see what I am talking about...
The one that looks like a magazine is the one off of my phone.
The black one and the article views are off of the tablet.
~~ also tried to install the one from my phone onto my tablet with the same results...
~~~this only happens on magazines. Books show up perfect.
I had a similar issue - Try tapping on the black page after you've opened up the magazine (the horizontal list of thumbnails should appear at the bottom w/page numbers) - try clicking on a different page and it should load (albeit slowly). Then see if you can navigate around (swiping page-to-page still doesn't load the next page for me; I have to tap the background to bring up the thumbnails and select the next page from there).
I noticed I'm running the same build nook app and same ROM (11/24 CM10 Acclaim on a 16gb NT), so I'm very curious to see if this works for you.
Yep, sure does
I find that it loads faster if after I have selected the page I bring up the thumbnails again than if I just leave it to load after I select the page. Swyping does change pages and still the thing with the dark screen, but if I bring up the thumbs it will load in about 2 - 4 seconds.
Thanks for the help! Greatly appreciated

So now that the new Firefox 4 Beta 5 is out, I personally think Firefox is the best Tablet browser available. Its unique approach to tabs works well on a tablet, as does the back button. The earlier versions were super slow, but I think this new one has caught up a lot. I now prefer it greatly to Dolphin HD.
I have installed the following add-ons to maximize my Nook Color internet use:
-Quit Fennec- force closes after last tab closes, a must
-Phony- easy User Agent changer, another must
-readability- fixes messy pages to fit
-Full Screen- Does what it says and makes browsing a joy
What do you all think?
I agree. Seems stable and fast (compared to Dolphin). I also used Sync to import all my passwords and favorites from my desktop.
I'll give it a try, it was even slower and klunkier than Dolphin HD last time I tried it, I use Opera 10 on my NC and it's great. I've tried Mirin too but something about that browser bugs me, can't really put my finger on it.
Can you guys post an apk? I can't get to it from market or Mozilla's website.
Thanks for the tip. Every browser seems to have 1 thing wrong with it so ill definitely give this one a try. I would like opwlera best but i can't get over the terrible way it handles initial zoom.
I agree, I can't find a working link to download the apk. I fennec but it installed an update that didn't work and now I can't install Firefox. Bummer
Would appreciate the apk as well. Thanks
FTP is your friend, as old-school as it is.
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.o...roid-r7/en-US/fennec-4.0b5-en-US.eabi-arm.apk
Thanks for the link. But everytime I try to install this, it seems to progress, asks about permissions, but at the end, says "program not installed". I've enabled usb debugging, used titanium backup to uninstall the previous left overs of Fennec, and I still get this message. A little stumped.
is this compatible with Android 2.1 with the latest dalingrin OC? I cannot get the apk to install. launched the Package Installer and installation would not get through saying "Application not installed"
Also each time I start the installer, it would warn that the app will replace an existing appl, but i do not currently have a fennec/firefox appl installed. Titanium Backup does not show any fennec/firefox app.
Can someone help please?
thanks
finally able to install by tweaking the the build.prop as suggested here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=938114&highlight=firefox
if anyone else was having the same problem. that tweak fixed it for me.
I gave this a try based on this thread. While I do like the UI and it has a snappy response, the app itself is not ready for prime-time. If you try to enter numeric information into a field, it causes the insertion point to jump around. For example, I tried to visit the website for a local library and when it asked me to enter in my library card #, instead of "1234..." it would go "1243...". The insertion of characters as I typed them magically skipped around in the field. This was not isolated to just that website. Happened on a registration form on Adobe's site as well. Very annoying.
Looking forward to future updates.

I personally think Miren browser is the best for the nook. I have it set so that that status bar/tabs stays around all the time, and the floating buttons always hide. The only issue is that it doesn't work well with image links when they are opened in a new tab. In the new tab it will instead go to the link of the picture, not the actual link to the website. I will try this though, I tried the beta a long time ago so it will be nice to see how far they have come.

I have noticed this too. The only (painful) solution I have found is to very slowly type with a pause in-between each letter. Thank goodness it can sync with my desktop Firefox and slurp up all my passwords to avoid this mostly.
OMG SERIOUSLY? I tried Firefox last night for about 20 minutes and it GROUND TO A HALT each time I tried to search or put input in the URL bar. It'd freeze, if I tried to do anything I'd get the FC/Wait dialog, I hit Wait several times.. Finally killed it, tried again... Same thing. Eventually it'd load the page.
If you all think it's great, I wonder wtf is going on with my install. Maybe I need to uninstall it, make sure any old sdcard stuff is cleaned (I had it installed a few betas ago) and try again. Totally unusable for me right now.
I'm hoping the FF Deskop Ad Block Pro extension works with the FF mobile soon. That can make the internet a much more bearable place.
Works for me. But can't t flash to work. Works in dolphin and stock

Yeah, Flash doesn't work so far.
I just bought a new gtablet thats running the stock 3588 software. All seems to be fine except when I surf the web. While doing so, most of the time the gtablet will switch back to the home screen resulting with me having to go back to the web again, it does the same thing using a different browser also.
I really don't want to try one of the different mods yet, but if that is what it takes, I might have to.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem.
Sounds like there could be some sort of app interaction/interference going on. You may have something running in the background that is doing it. Its a place to start. Have you installed flash?
May sound silly, but are you inadvertantly hitting the "Home" button while swiping?

Glad you said it, lol! Actually that was my first thought but didn't want so sound rude I remember getting used to the sensitivity of the buttons when I got my tab. That was the reason I ended up using button remapper and button saver. The button remapper let me map the soft buttons to be up, down, left, right. It helps a lot when surfing the net, I no longer have to zoom in to select a link. Button saver makes a small on-screen tab that when pressed brings up search, home, menu and back buttons on the screen. It works awesome and I have not accidentally hit the home button in the middle of doing anything since setting this up. This is also a great setup for night use.

This was happening to me too. I got my gtablet 2 weeks ago and got the update (it was unusable until the update) and it seemed a lot more stable. However, when I surfed the web after a while it dropped back to the home page. Ended up flashing to TNT 5 and its been totally stable ever since (I was nervous about doing it as I'm a noob at all this but it was painless if you follow instructions).
I was wondering if it had something to do with the content of the page (flash or something) but decided to just go with the much better ROM. Not looked back since.
It continues to do it even if I have it laying flat on a table and making sure that I don't hit any of the side buttons.
Yes, I do have "Flash" installed.
Probably the Flash 10.1 causing this... Get 10.2. If you don't have access to the android market you can also get it from freewarelovers

Hi,
Is this using the default browser? That (crashing to homescreen) was a fairly common problem, but I assumed that it might have been fixed by now. Anyway, if you are using the default browser, I suggest you try Xscope or Dolphin. I've been using the former since last Dec, and rarely see that crashing. You should be able to get them on market, or the Xscope dev has a download on his website. Been using both with Flash.
mine has been doing that with the 10.1 flash. Since I cant access android market, I cant download 10.2 straight to the tablet. The market keeps saying I dont have an android device linked to the account
using freewarelovers to DL 10.2. will see if this fixes it
works
If you can use other browsers on the stock firmware I highly suggest Opera Mobile. It has hardware acceleration so it scrolls and zooms smoother than the others, too. I'ts my favorite so far. Makes the web experience on the tab a lot better.
Well, I uninstalled Flash 10.1 and I think that it has fixed my browser problems. Thanks for all your help.

Awesome! If you still want flash just hop over to freewarelovers [dot] com, and flash 10.2 is right on the homepage. It's pretty flawlessly, especially compared to 10.1.
I have the Gtab, and am running 3558 ...when it was fresh and stock , I used to be able to save pics from the internet and set them as wallpapers by holding my finger on the pic for a couple seconds until a prompt came up for SAVE ...... now I cannot save any pics to make them wallpapers , and when I DOWNLOAD them, they are not sized properly.... How can I get the gtab to give me the SAVE option on pics like it used to when i held my finger on the screen for a couple seconds ???
i was running stock, then went to TNT LITE 4.4 , and recently went back to stock 3558 TAP TAP to experiment to see if it would help
thanks for any help in this !!
please don't take this the wrong way, but have you scrolled down?
I've done this MANY times. I'll long press on a picture to attempt to save it as wallpaper, then get discouraged when the option doesn't appear. only to find out later that when I'm presented with a menu after long pressing, I needed to scrool down to the bottom to find the "set as wallpaper" option.
it's given me more than a few "duh" moments, I'll admit.
Thanks for the info and tip, but still no luck. .... frustrating cause I know it used to work correctly .... any other ideas??

It seems to work for me on Dolphin HD browser on TNT Lite 4.4, but not on the default browser.
--
I can second that. Stock browser has some issues with that. Its good but not the best. Dolphin is the best I have used. I like aspects of others but the newest market version of dolphin makes tablet surfing a dream. Especially with text select that lets you search the word or phrase you just highlighted. Can't wait for the app by them specifically made for tablets.
Oops, rant.
Any way, try another browser
thanks again for the suggestions....tried opera , no luck ...
It USED to work fine, and then i went to TNT LITE .... could something have overwritten that file and not been properly replaced when i went back to 3558 stock ???
Ok, so I updated to the new Market version 3.0 (and then today the newest one) and I did a search for mp3 music download (as an example) it shows 1056 results at the top but at most only shows me 7 results and when I drag the screen down to try and get the rest of the results nothing else pops up.
Now on the older version pre 3.0 I had no issue seeing all the results. This goes for anything I try to search for...and it's not phone specific as my husbands Droid X2 has the same issue not showing all the results for the same search I done.
Is anyone else having this issue...is there something I am missing because I've looked in settings...I don't know how to fix it. I would like the new market so I can +1 the apps that I have or will download..but I need to be able to pick and choose from a variety and not only 7 apps.
Please help...and thanks in advance.
If I posted this in the wrong thread..I apologize I didn't know where I should ask this question since Google is not giving me any results to my question
I've noticed this recently as well.
This seems to depend on what you search, "mp3 music download" gave me this error, "tap" di not, "mp2" and "mp4" did...
Yea i don't get errors but no matter what i search landscape or portrait its always 7 apps. Glad im not alone but its bugging me out.

Well i take that back just searched for tap and boom it auto refreshed at bottom of screen. I can live with not having mp3 results lol
But ball has almost 6000 results and i get at most fifty. Grr

Been noticing it too. At first I thought it was an issue with MIUI, which I'm running on an Incredible 2, but today I'm getting the same problem on a brand new, stock Moto Bionic. It's starting to piss me off. Searching for "Handcent SMS" said over 1,500 results, and showed me a grand total of 3 apps - two Handcent language add-ons (Chinese and Korean), and GO SMS. What the hell?
It's a bug that Google know about with the search function, isn't fixed yet.

I have noticed that while going through the forums the pages do not refresh when I go back to a thread I read earlier. Is there a way to have auto refresh like IE?
Are you just using the back button to navigate back to the forum? I've noticed a few funky things, but I've picked up advanced browser on the app store, and I don't seem to see it AS often. Ymmv.
[Q] web browser
Is there any other web browser for the touchpad? Or any fixes for the browser? It sucks! Anytime you go to a site when you revisit it it loads as if you never left and you have to refresh it.

nope, nothing else. won't be anything else unless someone extends the browser, which you can do if you know how to develop.
What about the "Advanced browser"?
https://developer.palm.com/appredirect/?packageid=com.maklesoft.browser&applicationid=9962
There's advanced browser which gives you tabs but it's also $3. The reviews seem mixed.
I'd like to extend the browser to have many of the features of opera mobile when I have some time to do it. It's on my list of things "webos needs, but need the time to work on them."
the only thing I really miss on this browser is the trinication or what ever they call it. Its when you double tap or use the plus and minus on the bottom right of the screen or pinch to enlarge in android. It automatically puts the next word on the right of the screen on the second row and aligns the article to the width of what you are seeing regardless of how big you make the font size in the article. Really great for aging eyes without glasses. My 2 cent input. Hopefully the incredible devs here at XDA will find a way...please...thanks for all your work...experienced it with viewsonic gtab and nook color....you are the greatest....

[Q] Browser: Reduce Caching?
One thing that has really been annoying me about the browser is that it caches whole pages, which is rather bad on forums.
Is there any way to reduce the caching do it works like a regular browser? I'm hating having to hit refresh every time I view a board.
[Q] Browser: Broswer caching issue?
I've been using my Touchpad to browse the internet and it's having some issues. For a certain forum, I will view it at one time. I come back later, refresh, and nothing will change. I have to clear the cache every time. Is there any fix for this or is anyone else having the same problem?

I've found the same issue, clearing cache solves it. Browser needs work.
MOD/FIX- Browser Caching Issue Fix!
So if you have notice the default browser on the TouchPad is over aggressive with its caching. Its painfully evident when browsing XDA, when you return to a forum here it won't load a lot of the new information until you manually refresh. I was finally able to find this simple fix to get the browser working better(at least closer to the way it should run).
1- Download internalz pro from Preware.
2- Launch internalz and go into preferences under the dropdown menu in the top right corner. Scroll to the very bottom and turn on Master Mode. Hit yes on the pop up (its warning you that if you screw things up, you screwed your self). Then touch the drop down menu in the top right corner again and hit close.
3- Now navigate to /etc/palm/browser-app.conf
4- Now find and change the following to this...
MemCacheMinDeadBytes=0MB
MemCacheMaxDeadBytes=0MB
MemCacheTotalBytes=0MB
DiskCacheEnabled=false
5- Now save this under the drop down menu and do a full restart. (not just Luna)
6- Enjoy and hit Thanks!
Just a heads up, some people with a slower internet connection may notice a little bit slower loading. I haven't noticed being any slower though!
There is a patch in Preware called "Disable Browser Cache" that fixes this. You could also do a search on Pre-Central for the patch. Someone posted the file there too. http://forums.precentral.net/hp-tou...eboss-flawed-browser-cache-3.html#post3146221 check post #59 for the file. Very EASY to install.
I forgot to mention that you need Preware installed to use the patch.
The patch didn't seem work for me, plus the patch won't apply if you have some of the other ones installed. This method was great and was still able to be apply with other patches. I was just posting this here for anyone on XDA that wanted to use it.
Your very welcome your rudeness!
