[Q] Goo Manager / Browser Slow Downloads - Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I'm experiencing big differences when downloading on my nook in comparison to when I download on my laptop.
For instance, when I use Goo Manager it goes REALLY slow. What seems to take more than an hour on the nook, takes on a few minutes on my laptop.
Is this how it is with everyone else, or is it just me?
I'm on a wifi g (the 54 mbps one) with WPA2-AES.
Thanks in advance.

Just the opposite for me. I can download a whole rom in two minutes on my nook with goo manager and it takes half an hour on my very fast laptop using the same router.

I find goo as quite problematic application.
Running Cm9, sometimes can't download anything even with using 3 different browsers and other times is working normally.
I wouldn't get upset about what is wrong with your device. Just try with different browsers and at different times.

Slow market downloading?

Hello. I've been getting really slow market downloading as of late even with wifi on it crawls. Can take up to two minutes to download 1mb. It use to be way faster than this a while back sadly this had been going on for a while. I also have a rooted Nook Color and it downloads 7mb apps in 15 seconds. Any suggestions to fix my market download speed on my Evo?
Found a fix. It may have been I had market updater on freeze using titanium backup trying to keep black market on Myn's warm Rom. Well it didn't stay black anyway so I guess I just forgot about it. I defrost it and everything seems to be working now after market updated in the background. Also made my 3g faster than ever by using ad free and switch my custom ip to 0.0.0.0.
Thanks everyone who atleast looked be sure to make your 3g speeds faster with that tip if you haven't.
i have had similar issue. sometimes market downloads slow, sometimes it doesnt. and sometimes when i copy files to phone from pc it takes forever, sometimes it doesnt. just depends on how the phone wants to act i guess lol

[Q] CM7 off sd card wifi issue.

So I just did this tonight on my NC. I got cm7, the marketplace, and the overclocking installed on the sd card. Everything seems to work, except the wifi connection to my d-link DIR-615 router is awful. Downloading apps is essentially impossible. First off, the notifaction bar now says somethink like "Downloading Dolphin Browser and 28 other apps"; I clearly did not try to download 28 apps at once, and in the market app it only lists the 4 I actually want to download (The 28 apps are obviously a mistake). Second, even if its a single app downloading it gets stuck at "Starting download...".
Also, just using the stock browser is painfully slow compared to the stock NC browser.
Looking around the internet, there appear to be some issues with NC's running cm7 with dlink routers; I have only found a fix for instances where cm7 is running off the internal memory.
Any thoughts at all? I'd really like to be able to get on the internet with this thing...
Is it possible to just "reinstall" the gapps stuff on top of what is currently there?
Mines hella slow too, it was ok for a week or so and now it's pretty much useless if I want to use the internet on it.

[Q] How long should it take to download an app?

I've been using MCCM HD V4.5 for a few days now, and have rebooted multiple times, but I've found my download speeds for apps over wifi are extremely slow. It takes over 15 mins to download even small apps. Is this normal? Also, my Android market has the old look and I would llike to know how to update it if possible.
15 minutes over wi-fi is a bit long for a typical app unless you have a really poor wi-fi signal. I used V4 of this build several months ago and I don't recall having any problems. I switched to builds without HTC Sense because I decided that I prefer the flexibility of the straight Android UI.
I'm not sure about the market app. The build that I use (AmeriCanAndroid) has the new version.
I've managed to update the market, but app downloads are still slow. Odd thing is, they only take around 5 mins to download over wifi on 4shared. I think i might switch to AmeriCanAndroid as well, it looks good. Or possibly Rafdroid, cos I prefer sense.

Instagram bugs

Is anyone else experiencing ridiculously slow loading of the "explore" timeline or loading other people's profiles? Sometimes it takes up to 2 minutes to show. I've tried a few different network and wireless connections, but still super slow.
One more thing, do you get the following when you use the spot focus/tilt shift filter?
Working fine for me.
It work fine for me same
turns out it was the ROM I was using - flashed to CM10 and it works great!

[Q] CM10.1 - Ready for Prime Time on the Nook Color (encore)?

I have a Nook color wiped with a full version of the last stable release of CM7. It works well, but with that irritating problem of wifi reliability.
I would like to upgrade to CM10.1. The goal is to use the Nook as a development platform, while still sharing it with my wife to actually read books.
Here is the questions: Is release candidate two (RC2) of Cyanogenmod 10.1 stable enough on the Nook for daily use? I want the latest and greatest, but I don't have the time to constantly be chasing down problems, nor do I want my wife to kill me because her "book reader" has become unstable.
Do I hold out for RC3, wait for a stable release, or jump right in with RC2?
All comments and suggestions are welcome.
While CM10/4.1 was promising, CM10.1/4.2 has been a pain.
The interface seems all weird (it use a Phone interface instead of Tablet), and the performance makes the Nook Color nearly unusable. I'm talking single-digit framerates and choppy scrolling.
Personally, I found PA to be smoothest I tried... surprisingly smooth for the NC.
YMMV
I don't know about the others, I lost WiFi connections once every 2-3 hours using the most recent builds including rc2.
The fix is just turning the eifi off and on again.
However I never got sod so it is acceptable for me.
Thanks for the info guys, but the question is still up in the air. What condition is CM10 in for the nook? The wifi issues in CM7 make it useless as a connected device anywhere except with my home router (go figure). Is anyone using CM10 as their daily driver, and if so what build are you using, and where would you place the frustration level on a scale from one to 10?

I'm using CM10.1, RC2, and I'm having only very minor issues that are probably due to the ancient hardware (Flipboard sometimes freezes on me after 10 minutes, and browsers are slow, except for the very light Naked Browser). Everything I need works great, including wifi. I took it on a three week business trip to South America recently and only used my laptop once, doing email every day with no hiccups. I think it helps to tweak some settings, and use the Seeder app. Scrolling isn't butter smooth, but it's very good. Frustration level close to 0. Go figure.
I used CM10.1 for few months, it worked very good. I would say my frustration level maybe 1, and pretty much nothing compared to the satisfaction. I liked the key board, wifi connection, HD video play (for example in youtube), Browser and new UI in CM10.1 over 7.2.
recently I upgraded to CM10.1 RC4. I also did the following things to make it better. after boot up, it still has close to 150 MB memory.
1. tablet UI by autopatcher.
2. V6 SuperCharger
3. ES Task Manager to disable some startup services like Email, Email Exchange and etc.
4. Seeder.
The result is very good. It runs very smooth.
Only frustration is the speaker's volume which is low. I am using Speaker Boost, looks like helped little ( but not very sure).

Has anybody posted a zipfile for this version?

I find that it works for some apps, DSP Manager works for others.

I uploaded RC4's tabletUI patches, and you can get them in my signature link for My 4 Shared.
I tried one of the RC's back in the day for CM10 and didn't like it much. It seemed slow and glitchy, and it kept corrupting my SD card, so I went back to CM7 for a while, and then tried the CM10.1 nightly for 6-17 yesterday and had SD card problems again. Switching to a higher quality SD card fixed that problem, seems 4.x's file access methods make it more finicky with external media than 2.3's. According to LMT's status bar, my NC is running at 1000mhz, and everything has been fairly stable, although there are a few apps that seem to grind it to a halt, most notably the new Opera browser, although I hear that may just be an issue with their new version, using Opera classic seems to run fairly well. As far as getting the true tablet experience, I had to switch the launcher over to Apex, which has a tablet mode that removes the phone-style dock. On another note, I have two Android phones, an older one running CM7, and a new one running ICS out of the box, tried wireless tethering on each and found that my NC could Ad-hoc into the newer one and share it's internet at remarkable speeds, but couldn't maintain a connection to the CM7 phone even if I skipped DHCP and manually set the IP. I tried Bluetooth on this one and found that neither Sixaxis or Wiimotecontroller worked, but the NC did detect the Wiimote I tried, so I know Bluetooth is working. If I can find my BT headset, I'll give it a try and see if I can't make some internet phone calls. At this point, I'm going to be using CM10.1 as a daily driver, I think it's VERY usable, with my only annoyance being that it's a little slow to boot - any custom boot animations I use other than the one that comes with it are choppy and freeze up, and once the OS has loaded, I have to wait 10-20 seconds while the lock screen says (WIDGET LOADING) to even get the lock screen clock, but after that it's smooth sailing.
On the subject of reading books, I installed Moonreader+ and read some books on it yesterday, so that's still working just fine.
