[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vahn84:
I would have to disagree with you. Perhaps that argument could be made specifically for Wiimote support on the flyer, but more broadly the problem experienced via sense UI for many BT devices that have similar pairing issues is something I believe there is a demand for a solution.

I have used the search function on this issue extensively, and there was a lot more interest it seems before it was certain that honeycomb would be coming to flyer. I believe many thought HC would clear up all the BT issues with sense, which was not the case.

In any case after searching through LeeDroid's rom thread I have read he would be dealing with BT issues for his rom (though not specifically for my device) so that may be the end solution I have to go with, if he gets a working fix and it is compatable with my device. It is a shame though because I do really enjoy honeycomb.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
HTC does not write the bluetooth stack , its part of Android. Android only includes basic device support. Each HW vendor includes settings in configuration files that tell Android which services to allow, HTC may need to tweak the settings or a clever developer can do it. Audio issues are a different matter due to the Linux mess that is audio libraries and routing.

Special devices, even if they pair will not work without a special key-mapping and its impossible to include every device in the OS, so your premise that a new version of Android will solve all issues is simply wrong. That's why there are third party apps to handle special cases like a WI controller or a bluetooth GPS. SO while Android may pair and recognize that a game controller is a HID device on bluetooth , unless there is a matching key map or driver, your results will not be happy.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vahn84:
I am aware HTC does not write the BT stack... but they do use an older, less functional, blue tooth stack to work with their sense UI.

"Special devices, even if they pair will not work without a special key-mapping and its impossible to include every device in the OS, so your premise that a new version of Android will solve all issues is simply wrong. "

I never said that. If you take a look at what I said; I stated that there was interest in some sort of blue tooth fix prior to honeycomb coming out, and people INCORRECTLY assumed that it would clear up any bt problems.

Any of the emulation progams I run support keymapping to the remote. And the devices can be seen by the device, but pairing is impossible. So the bt stack on these devices is the issue, though you seemed mighty determined to insist otherwise.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Well whatever, you seem to know more than anyone else about it so fix it.

The Bluetooth stack used by HTC is written by Broadcomm and used by Samsung, LG, HTC and others. As you can see by studying the Android Market, all those devices you listed are special cases and require a special application to make them work . For example Bluez IME which has been reported to work on the Flyer. Good luck.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] vahn84:
I have downloaded the newest version of bluez ime and it would not successfully pair with my Flyer running Globatron's HC rom.

Bluez IME will not work on the flyer, if it running any version of HTC sense. or so the program developer says:

http://code.google.com/p/android-bluez-ime/issues/detail?id=7

I have also read on a market review someone claiming it worked with the flyer. However they did not mention which devices, drivers, or firmware they were using.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cimer:
I could not find a suitable Bluetooth controller in bestbuy the other day. I've heard of such things as the Wii remote working for android, but I read further and found it did not work with Sense UI. So I decided to go and buy a Bluetooth keyboard because I was used to the PC gaming style anyways. It works fine for the n64 emulator, but I wish more keys were mapped on mine, and I am trying to get it to work.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] behelit:
You should try out BT Controller app on the market.

You can use your phone as a gamepad and no htc bt stack issues.

https://market.android.com/details?id=droidbean.btcontroller
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] DigitalMD:
Keys are mapped in files in /system/usr/keylayout

it's not so straightforward and depends on what vendor ID the device presents. If it matches an installed key map, ok, but if not then it may get either the generic map or the qwerty map. The Flyer already has maps for logitech , Sony, Apple and Motorola bluetooth keyboards, but not MS. you might start by searching for a MS keymap file.

WARNING< backup your files / ROM before you modify any key map files in your system.

Good luck

or you could forget bluetooth specialty drivers and custom devices and use something that already works, the Xbox 360 controller which has support built-in on the Flyer.

What you will need:

1. Xbox 360 wireless controller

2. An Android Emulator

3. micro USB to USB Female Cable USB-OTG N900 or some other USB port adapter specific for your Android device.

4. Honeycomb 3.0+ or above.

5. Xbox 360 wireless dongle/receiver

Bluez ime + js1 quick start to initially pair works great for the zeemote js1 gamepad
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] WisdomWolf:
This is confirmed working on the Flyer/View? I thought that they didn't provide any power to USB devices, which would inhibit the receiver from working properly. Am I missing something?

So has anybody tested any of these out?

I was lookign at the Phonejoy one but have no idea if it works with flyer/view
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] thirru:
Hi, Phonejoy's been tested with the Flyer.

http://www.phonejoy.us/shop/phonejoy-analog/#tab-description
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] gersto:
Yes I know this is old but I figured its a good one to post.

For those that recall the first generation of gamestops Bluetooth gamepads worked on the flyer, one of the few if I recall. Back then they were about 40 each.

Since gamestop introduced their 2nd generation of android accessories the original controllers have dropped to 9.99/each (in store and online). I picked up 2 a few weeks back and they worked great using the BluezIME app in the play store.

Currently it looks like you can't get them online anymore so I'd say check a local gamestop (if you have one) or check eBay. Obviously they are clearing stock so I assume that is dwindling quickly. Worth a look.

I gave up on using my WiiMotes and found these to be great.
[General Questions and Answers] mcjordan92:
Hi, I've been tying to search for an app maybe you can help me.

I'm looking for an app that I can configure that when I connect to specific wifi (probably school or college or even piano teacher [ they all got wifi, it's so common in these days..]) so it will automatically makes my phone on silent or vibrate...

And when log out will return to normal.

It can save the imberesting ringing mobile at class and also can not be forgotten at home at room hidden behind couch or something at silent because I forgot to return it back from study and so I wont hear any calls..

You probably know what I'm talking about from life and maybe also wondering where is the guineas that will invent that app already..

So if you know any app that can do this, please tell me

Or if you are an app-Creator, here's an idea...

Thanks,

Yarden.

Was thinking of this.....could this be possible or just another cache / dalvik cleaner?
[General Questions and Answers] Hitmax117:
as far as i know linux/android doesnt has a registry only windows has
[General Questions and Answers] Salty Wagyu:
Yep, no registry on Android.

I think you're looking for something like App Cache Cleaner or CacheCleaner NG to clean out app cache that builds up.

Cleaning Dalvik cache can be done by booting into recovery but you don't really need to routinely do this.

There is also SD Maid but I believe this cleans more rigorously, so be sure you know what you're doing.
[General Questions and Answers] VeryCoolAlan:
Yeah I know of the cache cleaners..

Alright well thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] scarmon25:
Sd maid is a great utility. Its one of the few that actual scan the system for left over files and not just cache. But as advised. Read before running it wide open.

[EVO 4G Accessories] gab2012:
My brother just got home and the only way I could fit his otterbox was with the front plastic and the rubber was kinda lose I need to add some tension to it in the back so its tight. (the back wouldn't snap tight on the case).
[EVO 4G Accessories] gothicd3vil:
It works or not?
[EVO 4G Accessories] akalakano84:
I've done this mod awhile ago. I bassicaly took a saw and drill and cut a good portion out of the back to where it looked like a bumper. With that said u need the back peace ( ring after u cut it) for the rubber to fit snug. Worked like a charm.

lemme guess odin? I was pretty bricked once. I took the sd card out. Plugged it to my computer (not wall) and held one for like 30-40 seconds and then pressed power and it magically booted into download mode. Just try that or the other way around. Worked for me. Good luck!
[Epic 4G General] ghostrid3r:

[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:

i was odin working on eg22plus, went to odin back to eg22 stock and it just immediately failed after md5 check, and wouldnt come back on... didnt even show to try to write anything.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Do you have a car dock or media dock. I was in a similar predicament once and all of the above failed to bring it back. Then I was on the way to the Sprint store to swap out when I put my Epic in the car dock (force of habit) and it magically booted to the screen with the pictures of the pc and phone. I was able to pull the battery and boot to download mode from there.

Was that to me? I was just suggesting last ditch effort stuff for Chris to try since his phone was bricked. I would even try the pinhole by the camera under the battery cover. Nothing can hurt to try once you have tried all of the other tricks to get your phone back up.

[Epic 4G General] farmsatguy:
Damn, perma-bricked my Epic on the same day. Decided to odin the new EG22 modem. First time using the newest odin, 1.85 I believe. I've always used 1.61 before, never an issue. Everything seemed to go fine, used all the right settings (1.85 has an .ini file to take care of that anyway, but I double checked to be sure). Odin reported PASS, the Epic powered off... And that was all she wrote! I tried every trick I knew, every trick I could find, and even made up a few of my own in desperation! Did I cuss and yell at it as well? Oh, you bet I did (didn't help if your wondering but I did feel a smidge better I guess). Tried multiple batteries, multiple cables, with and without sd card, every button sequence that could be use...nada.

After a day of messing with it (yep, lots more cussing and yelling involved), I logged onto Asurion's website, paid my $100, and am waiting on a replacement. Thankfully' I have a nand backup from the night before as well as a TB from just before, so I should be good. I'd love to know what Sprint/Samsung does to get them back up and running to refurb out to someone else? Or do they just start replacing stuff when it's in that state?
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
Try taking the battery out and plugging it into a charger. Pull it off the charger then put the battery back in. Try download mode.
[Epic 4G General] farmsatguy:
Yeah, I tried all of that in every possible combination. Even tried that with the home dock. It is just dead! I.ve soft bricked several times, never been a problem. First time for this tho, it is just flat out dead. But thanks for the advice, tried what you suggested just to be sure and no dice.
[Epic 4G General] malcolmXman:
So what version of Odin was Chris41g using, 1.85?
[Epic 4G General] farmsatguy:
I dunno, I think he was asked but didn't respond back on that. I know I'm not using it again until I have a better idea of what happened! Lol.
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
Version of odin doesn't matter for crap. Its bricked. Phones gota manage connection via usb before odin touches it.
[Epic 4G General] farmsatguy:
Um, yeah. this is true. But since we was both using Odin, odin then told the unit to reboot...and it didn't...ever...at all. The version of Odin in this case MAY make a difference since it was the last thing the phone ever saw before becoming a brick...permanently. Perhaps the version means nothing and it was a coincidence, but if enough folks wind up with expensive paper weights, it very well may matter.

Of course it doesn't matter AFTER the fact... It's before the fact (of being a brick) that may, in some small way, be relevant.

Odin WAS the last connection managed...so, the CRAP may matter.
