Most of what I've found isn't odd, or even new, but it's interesting to me.
1. My Nook is able to ignore my school's proxy servers. With all of the computers in here, whether I'm using the XP on them or a bootable USB, I need to configure it to use the proxy server. I don't know why my Nook is able to get past it without me having to enter anything, but I kind of like it.
2. If the Nook is in landscape orientation and I tell it to shut down, the shutdown image is rotated and there are black borders around it. Also, the same thing applies to the screen saver.
3. Several times when I go to do something, it just reboots, but when it does it's about 20% faster than normal. When it pulls back up, the screen saver is still the same as it was before, not the normal Authors background that I get when I shut it down normally and boot it back up.
[I'll add more as I remember then]
I haven't been able to ignore those same proxies as you. Is there anything that you have done that I need to do, or does it just do it?
It just gets through some how. I don't do anything to tweak it, it simply works. This message also proof that it gets through some how.

Same here.
I guess, B&N didn't bother to check if orientation was changed in every program they wrote. It's not supposed to change after all, right?
I guess B&N forgot to remove the entirety of android.
Thanks for the link..

Its working pretty good and its nice
It's Chrome.
Yes and I think it's very cool and easy!
Chrome is best on every device! So, I think Chrome on Win 8 is gread!
Enjoying it so far!
Im confused...
Im installed it from the link you provided, But I dont see it installed anywhere??
Thanks for the heads up, gonna check it out tonight.
I'm really liking it so far, it feels just like Chrome and not a Chrome "App".
Only thing I don't like is that its not automatically full screen like the IE app. After entering full screen mode other than having to press F11 to bring the address bar back up it would be nice to just scroll to the top of the screen, or right click like the IE app.
Solid app all together.

Same thing happened to me at first. I already had Chrome pinned to the metro start and when I clicked on it opened regular chrome. After closing it and returning to metro the icon changed to the Chrome app.
non responsive after one day
after using it without much problems (apart from a few crashes freshly after installing), today it has just become unresponsive to touches. opened the internet explorer, it too was unresponsive, reboot didn't help. having made IE back to default browser solved the problem.
been using it on the lenovo x220t convertible
works great I have detected any major bugs.
I installed it but no diff? It doesn't seem to be Metro just normal one.
Edit: Worked now, I don't see any major change, just same old same old Chrome in Full Screen mode.
Does it still support extensions, Does it still have Web Store?
Finally,now I can install windows 8 again

It's not worth it, it's just basic Chrome, matter of fact, the scrolling bar looks like Windows 98! It makes sense lol Windows 98...take out the 9 and there you have it.

Lmfao at the take out the 9! Old jokes aside, Chrome for iOS has OSX Lion scrollbar...
After setting Chrome to default and having a play with it in its Metro form, I quickly went back to using it in Desktop Mode. At the moment it's not worth being a Metro app because it just doesn't work properly. You can't dock it to the sides because it goes a bit dodgy. Hopefully they will do it properly with an update and it will be in the store along with Mozilla's Metro version of Firefox at some point if they are still working on that...
Does it work with HTC Shift?
Works great for me so far... Cool!
It still has a couple of bugs to work out.
I'n not a fan of the chrome metro app. They hadn't followed the metro app design guidelines last time I tried it, and it just seemed like a buggy version of normal chrome.
Did anyone notice that we can't upload files? The file selection window is not showing up and I cannot find anything about this in the web.
Hi all,
Finally got around to rooting my NSTG (fw 1.2.1) with NookManager and am using Mantano Ebook Reader Premium 2.2.12.
I can't seem to get rid of the status bar while reading. I've checked fullscreen reading in options, tried installing previous versions but all to no avail. Odd thing is I managed to hide it once, was quite happy, but once I restarted my NST it came back again.
I can get the status bar to hide in Aldiko (I prefer Mantano), Launcher7, ReLaunch... This is driving me nuts.
Anyone else come across this? Anyone have fullscreen reading working? Any advice/ideas gratefully accepted.
Cheers
Sorted!
Anyone looking to do the same:
Need to install Mantano 2.2.3 and enable 'fullscreen reading' to hide NST status bar and get true fullscreen reading.
In 2.2.4+ Mantano's fullscreen reading will not hide NST status bar. How this is fullscreen reading, I don't know...
I'm having the exact same problem. Unfortunately I can't find that particular version. Would you be so nice to guide me towards it?
Thanks for the solution anyway.

I tried to send you a P.M. last night, but I feel it may have fizzled. I know it has been a long time, but I wonder if anyone still has this. I have been a long time user of Mantano premium (I did buy it), but I just received an NST and would like to use it as my primary reading device. Does anyone have a copy of this they would be willing to send me? I have searched the Internet as well as my backups. They are all too new.
Sincerely,
Leko

Had a look around for you too. Earliest I could get was 2.3.2.
As you paid for it have you simply tried emailing the developer for a copy of the version explaining your circumstances.
Thanks. Great idea. I will try that. I found version 2.2.5 which works, but does not run in full screen.
~Leko
Go forth and work toward your salvation with diligence.
If anyone is still looking for 2.2.3, PM me.
Installing the OTA now. Includes color correction fixes and an improved netflix experience apparently. Hopefully retains the performance enhancements we received in 2.2.
I believe this is the WIFI zip: http://ota.nvidia.com/ota/rom/productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_wf-full_ota-29979_515.3274.zip

Great, the color issue has been bugging me.
Anyone have the full update urls for flashing in cwm? (How do you find those, btw?)
After the update this morning the sensitivity of the screen is completely gone and worthless!!! Adjusting the sensitivity does not solve the problem! Experience went from 9/10 to 5/10 for me. Anybody else having the same problem?

Update. : it looks like the calibration of the sensor increases with the number of calibrations you execute. So after 4 times redoing the calibration it looks like i have my sensitivity back where i wanted it.

You might want to remove the checks for device and such as it doesn't work on my device. I have the Wifi version.

Thanks for this. Build number is 29979_515.3274 for anybody that wants to know. I'll be uploading the OTAs to the link in my sig if anybody would rather download from there.
great, thanks! is there a way to flash it with cwm without loosing the cwm recovery?
Can anyone tell me where you find the links for the full cwm flashable OTA. I always just get them from the forum post but I would like to know where you find these so I van get it myself. Like right now nobody has posted a link to the us WiFi only full 2.2.1 ota yet and if I knew where to look I could go get it myself. Thanks

I assume that the same rules apply for hotfixes when rooted? Flash in custom recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, flash superuser? Is wiping the cache necessary?
Just updated mine ,but the colors seem the same on rgb(reddish) and native (greenish); only really noticeable on whites though, also no touch issues for me...
And lastly what color correction mode are you guys using?...

Mine freeze only when I open Chrome and I tap on the address bar, I use the SwiftKey keyboard. Do you have the same problem?

Exactly. I'm gonna ditch SwiftKey and see if it's that. It's anything Google related when it freezes. Google play, play music, Google search, or Chrome. It's either play services related or SwiftKey. I'll report back after ditching SwiftKey.
Edit: even after just a short period of time I can tell you this has helped big time! No more Swiftkey for me at the moment! Now my only issue is WiFi speed

Just bought Yota3 from ebay but it isn't working the way i thought it is. I thought it was going to work just like Yota2. Now i can't install any apps on to eink screen.
i don't think mirroring feature is in yota 3
bad news.
I expected the way of working like Yotaphone 2
Could you please tell me exactly how mirroring works on Yota3? On yotaphone 2 I can use epd just like color. How about yota3?

I am a Chinese Yota3 user.
Yota brand was bought by a Chinese company, which turned out to be a disaster. You need some tricks to make yota3 easy to use.
There is still mirror mode, but need some effort to turn on.
Download a app named More shortcuts, long press at desktop to open widgets, add more shortcuts.
Choose Activity - Factory test - Mirror activity.
Then there will be a shortcuts added for mirror mode.
In this mode, only Back Button can be used. You may need a gusture app to help. (Like assistive Touch in iphone）
Or You can use Direct app mode (newly introduced in yotaphone3) to launch an app on eink. (talk later)
（btw, how can I post a screenshot here)

As a new user of Yota3, I'm really interested by the "Direct app mode" and the shortcuts... I missed these function. Yotaphone 2 with the mirror mode was much more easy to use

In OTA updates after Feb. there are several app shortcuts added to Discover page on EDP which can help to launch them on EDP if already installed in color screen. This is called Direct app mode. But you cannot customize the app shortcuts on Discover page (stupid).
The shortcuts launch by package name.
Here is how we go. Change any launcher's (or any other app you'd like) package name to any of the shortcuts on Dicover page. Install to color screen. Launch it on eink Discover page.
I have a modified eink launcher at hand. But dont know how to upload.
* ATTENTION If you OTA update to Dec version or later (included Feb version) battery usage will increase a lot. And newly added apps/functions are mostly for Chinese user. You can only send back to factory in China if you wanna go back to ealier version. COZ no root yet.

Thanks for your answer. For now, I didn't updated the phone, it's still on Y3SCN06A1000MPX1712021 Rom.
You can send attachments with your posts (if the app is not too big) with the "clip" icon , near the smiley icon, when writing a message.
Another question: do you know how if the latest firmware upgrade add some changes to the screen timeout time? With my firmware, I can only set maximum 30 min: when I choose "Screen always on"" (Settings-Display- Sleep-"Screen always On"), it doesn't work. This may help when using Mirror mode, otherwise after 30 minutes, it will quit this mode if you don't touch the screen (I use the mirror mode with GPS app).
I tried the method suggested by awayu using Activity Launcher app, but couldn't quite get it to work.
But I went to Baidu in a hope to find more info on this on Chinese forums and found this one:
tieba.baidu.com/p/5587584209
It offers to download and install apk that impersonates Hinhua News (新华社 - top leftmost on Discovery screen) and provides up app launcher on e-ink screen instead.
So I've bitten the bullet and installed this apk and seems to be working.
In a way this is even better solution as it gives you menu of apps to launch, but at the cost of installing random apk. It was a bit re-assuring that it doesn't seem to require any permissions.
I'm not affiliated with the author of the post at baidu, use at your own risk!
Alternative way of mirror mode
Specially thanks to awayu who sent me this modified E-ink launcher app which really works. Under the command of this launcher users can have good control of the apps on the front screen when using EPD. For instance I can even turn on mobile network under the reading mode (long press the power bottom to switch) so I can have access to any phone calls when reading. After installing this app I am pretty much happy about Yota 3 now.
English google play stops working
It just can't be opened. I reset several times but same issue. What to do ???
Try to avoid using the preinstalled "AppStore"
Perform factory reset to get back to the "clean state". Disable the preinstalled AppStore (or freeze it) to prevent it from installing any untrusted apps by Chinese developers. Instead using the (preinstalled) browser to find the necessary apk(s) to install google frameworks. Remember not to install any untrusted apps and from then on you should be fine.
not working

Yotahub search on Yotaphone 3
Now I realize I am a bit fan of Yotaphone 2 and not of Yotaphone 3( after the recent purchase of it).
I like Yotaphone 3 e-ink display to be the same (visually) as Yotaphone 2. is it achievable? Want to put e-ink apps and widget as Yotaphone 2 does.
My question is, is there a way to achieve it? Any help. :fingers-crossed:
