Classic Nook 1.5 is out! - Page 10

Regarding Battery:

This is what I've noticed with regards to the Nook battery on a softrooted 1.5

I've had my nook off the charger for about 25 hours now, used wi-fi, did alot of things with it to strain the battery. While usually my battery would be at about 65% by that time, it's sitting at 85% right now....so I consider that a pretty good increase in batter time.

why would they advertise "Browse the web over Wi-Fi (experimental) " as k3 highlights then? source

anyways it would be nice to be able to browse web over 3g for free in nook. I think the competition will have to make it happen sooner or later

I put the nookdevs update on my nook this afternoon … good god, those are really fast page-turns now!!!

Kolfe · 11-25-2010, 02:57 PM

Does anybody know if the nook update 2.5.1 works on new hardware? Serial 1033XXX?

If that's the case, which is the best way to install it?

I have the latest version of Calibre and just upgraded the firmware on my Nook. There were no problems with the upgrade. However, now when I try to view the books on my device (the Nook)memory in Calibre, there are no books listed. I can, though view the books that are on the memory card in the Nook. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Reader2 · 11-25-2010, 05:00 PM

Holy Me. Got a rooted nook and now just without notice (wifi & registred) the 1.5 nook firmware. First I #$%@ but after a while I found out I got both. Amazing, and it still seems to work. I mean filemanager, crossword, my own "get notes" app and the nookdev stuff, it all seems to work. Great.

ChupaLibro · 11-26-2010, 01:26 AM

I am very happy with the 1.5 update. I never had an issue with the page turns before, but it's so much faster, that I now wonder how I managed before.

I love the Shelves feature but hope to see it improved in the future, such as syncing shelves to my B&N account and improved functionality. I don't see why B&N doesn't just remove the distinction between store-bought content and "My Documents" and just have it all appear to the reader as one library? I'd love to see that.

One weird issue I ran into is if I created a shelf while in the B&N Library, it would be grayed out if I switched to My Documents and entered the mode to place / remove books from shelves; however, this did not happen when performed the other way around. Has anyone else seen this?

They want to differentiate and give you incentive to buy from their store than others, so they treat their books with preference and give those special treatment. I don't think we'll ever see that. I do wish that the would though as well.

But yeah, 1.5 is really great!! I did leave the nook in Wi-Fi mode and logged into a wi-fi network, and it drained in less than 24 hours, so I don't know how much they improved on the battery. I noticed a difference in Airplane mode though.

The update seems to have fixed the, so far, rather wobbly progress-bar... finally

Reptielll · 11-26-2010, 06:04 AM

I have a Nook with the new hardware revision. Currently I am on the official B&N 1.5 FW. I also like to root, but then install the apps is wnat manually. Is it even possible to root a nook with this hardware firmware combination?

I found the guide on nookdevs to root new hardware, but i am not sure if it works with FW 1.5. Anybody has any experience here?

Shades · 11-26-2010, 06:57 AM

Can someone tell me if I should update my nook? I am using a soft rooted 10039 serial nook, so it would be a great pain to redo the root (albeit I can do it, just lazy). Also, does this update block the soft root method that 1003's use to get rooted? (<- most important question right there).
