[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VibrantOwnr:
For some reason, when i reboot my phone (if it freezes and i do a battery pull), it only goes to hboot after that (engineering hboot). Along with that, in hboot, the power, and both volume keys are unresponsive. I tried removing battery, and sdcard and retrying, i only get to hboot.

The only way i can get out of hboot-loop is to run "fastboot reboot" from a computer (which wont be very convenient when i am not at home)

Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to get out of the loop without a computer? (i was at low battery when my phone froze and got into the h-boot loop..about 10%)

Thanks

EDIT: I somehow solved the problem by going through and pressing every button on the phone twice starting with power and going counter clockwise (power, power, volume up, volume up, volume down, volume down, home, home, menu, menu, trackpad, trackpad, back, back, genius, genius, camera, camera) I don't know how it worked but that's what I did
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
One of your buttons (VolDown most likely) was stuck and was causing this behavior.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VibrantOwnr:
That's what I figured. But when I pressed volume down I could feel it click.. It might have been the actual trigger underneath the button.

I need help flashing rom onto an ally. I believe I have it rooted. I downgraded back to. 2.1. I have read all kinds of directions but my problem is, is that the phone doesn't have service and the wifi is not turning on which is what I am trying to fix..any help is appreciated, thank you!

Flash Scott's cleanrom. It has extended power menu settings that allow yo to boot to recovery.

[HTC Rezound] twolasrnames:
I believe you can pick reboot from the power menu, after the screen turns off hold power and volume down, and you can get to fastboot. It's easier when it's charging, because the led shuts off when you need to hold the buttons, and that is easier to see than the screen shutting all the way off. From fastboot you can pick recovery, as long as you don't have a ph98img.zip on your sd card.
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
Turn off phone....hold volume down and power button.... Select recovery

Just make sure fast boot isn't checked in settings before you shut down phone and you don't have phimg zip on your sd card. If you have a file it will try and flash in bootloader (ex kernel)

Quickboot is the answer.

Market link

I decided to make this app free (ad supported, there is still a paid non-ad version available).

There are a bunch of Baseball / Softball game tracking apps on the market, but they are quite complicated to use while trying to pay attention to the game.. I wanted to create one that could literally be easy enough to replace a umpires "clicker" but enable you to track the game at the same time.

Here are some screen shots:
[HTC Sensation XL] nativestranger:
Does anyone ever encounter the phone become very laggy and choppy after using the youtube app? Its like the phone used to run buttery smooth at 60 fps then drops to 30 fps. Can feel the choppiness in homescreen switching, browser and everywhere. Restart the phone and it goes back to normal. Can someone please test if you get this after playing a few youtube videos in HQ?
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
I just watched an 8 minute HQ video using the youtube app. And saw no loss in performance after returning to home.
[HTC Sensation XL] nativestranger:
What is your rom version?
[HTC Sensation XL] AndroHero:
I'm using latest bindroid gingerbread rom.
[HTC Sensation XL] maniacaus:
I've found the same thing but not after YouTube. it seems to happen randomly but its easy to tell when by looking at the speed of the lock animation. Hopefully the reliability will get better with ICS.
[HTC Sensation XL] nativestranger:
Yes it happens sometimes after playing a dowmloaded video as well. Somehow it seems the display switched refresh rate to 30hz and forgot to switch back. Glad i am not the only one having this.
[HTC Sensation XL] nativestranger:
Thanks
[HTC Sensation XL] goku16:
sometime it happens to me as well.. my way is click on the camera app, and than press the back button to close the app :D
[HTC Sensation XL] nativestranger:
You mean that gives you the problem? Or it returns the phone to normal?
[HTC Sensation XL] goku16:
return to normal:)
[HTC Sensation XL] nativestranger:
Just a quick update. I dont get this random lag problem anymore after doing a factory reset. Just tried lots of youtube and videos and the phone always returns to 60 frames per second once out of the application.

Sometimes the network turns the speed down. Am on giffgaff and there Internet speed is 0.5 mainly all the time
[TouchPad General] chris-h:
I didn't feel like buying anything and already had some things laying around so I modified an Adafruit MintyBoost to accept a device via usb, add power, and continue on down the line...

Really all I did was solder a usb cable onto the female USB port on the MintyBoost, drill a hole on the other side of the tin and feed it out. The card reader conveniently fits inside of the mint tin so it's a pretty compact package.

The only down side I've noticed is that it also charges the TouchPad (the batteries will die quicker) and continues to send power to the card reader after the OTG cable has been unplugged from the TouchPad.

Excuse the crappy pic. I really don't feel like taking a better one.
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
I could never get the OTG cable to charge the Touchpad, I always thought when the Touchpad sensed OTG (grounding on pin 4) it refused to take power. You can disconnect the +5v Vcc to the Touchpad (red wire) on your OTG cable and OTG devices will still work.
[TouchPad General] wolfgr:
I came to the same conclusion some days ago ,touch pad can't be charged using org cable,needs a regular micro USB cable and the barrel AC charger.I did many tests but having otg devices working and really charge at the same time its not possible,it seems like charging but its not.
[TouchPad General] wolfgr:
Today I accidentally found this http://direct.sanwa.co.jp/ItemPage/400-GADR002W that by first look it could be awesome...

Edit:a mini review in english http://www.gadget.pdamu.com/2012/03...r-dock-station-for-android-smartphone-tablet/

says that it can be also powered be micro usb charger....
[TouchPad General] mrtomaso:
Bummer. Tried linking my phone evo3d, but no luck.
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
If its provides its own 5v power it would likely work, but I don't really see anywhere for an external power connection and it looks too small to house a battery.
[TouchPad General] chris-h:
For whatever reason, when I tried that the card reader wouldn't initialize. Once I connected the +5v from the OTG it'd light right up... :confused:

After it lit up I could disconnect the +5v and it'd stop the "charging" notification on the touchpad and keep working.
[TouchPad General] wolfgr:
it has the regular usb port to connect otg device plus a micro usb female to connect. our ac charger :-)
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
Then it should work fine as the Touchpad uses a standard OTG pinout, it just doesn't provide power so if it has a way to provide power to devices than I see no reason why it wouldn't work.
[TouchPad General] eyeb:
quick question that i didn't see answered above :S can i use the otg cable adapter without another power source (like can touchpad power it?)? Saw it asked above but didn't see anyone saying that the power source is required :S

kind of want to plug a usb flash drive into touchpad so I can type documents when I'm on the go and switch to computer. don't want to carry another power source either :S
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
No, the Touchpad doesn't provide any power for OTG devices which is why you need to supply it power. The cheap USB charger I linked to in the original post will work fine for a portable power supply if you don't want to build something yourself.
[TouchPad General] mrtomaso:
And it also appears you can't just plug the other USB into the wall?
[TouchPad General] Silly_question:
can someone get a group buy going for these???

This would be fantastic... but i dont speak Japanese!! :confused:
[TouchPad General] mrtomaso:
So, we can't just plug it into a wall for power? I have to buy a battery powered unit or use a powered hub?
[TouchPad General] bobdarkside:
Nice and cheap and the best part it works.
[TouchPad General] GigiAUT:
USB Hub works...sort of.

I tried this with a cheap USB hub I bought. I had bought it for my laptop and made sure it had it's own power supply to keep the load off my laptop, so I thought it would be perfect for this. Nice try though.

Turns out it needs 5V from the host to activate as well as the additional external power supply. Just fired it up with my TouchPad connected via a Y-Cable and my Laptop providing the 5V to fire it up. Works like a charm.

As yet to find out if it works with my travel charger providing the 5V and no external power supply plugged in, and how many devices I can hook up. It's got 7 ports so I suppose the supply might be useful then, but do I really need to hook up that many devices? Otherwise...pointless. Back to the drawing board I go.
[TouchPad General] FC1032:
This would be really handy and it's a much more elegant solution than a y cable and external power source.

Too bad it seems like we won't be able to get one easily.
[TouchPad General] mafu6:
Am i missing something here or can i use my 3.5" external HDD (with a power supply) to provide power to my External so i dont have to plug the cable into a USB hub?

Thanks for the useful information provided, I now can connect my Thumb drive to my TouchPad. It's not as convenient as compared to using my OTG adapter on my Samsung Galaxy Note, but at least it is possible now.

Here's how I do it:

1. Connect usb hub to OTG adapter (usb to usb micro usb)

2. Connect my Eneloop portable charger and Thumb drive to the usb hub

3. Power up usb hub by pressing power button on Eneloop portable charger

4. Optional: Download [root] StickMount by Chainfire from Play Store
[TouchPad General] gary93:
It looks interesting. Just want to see if there's anyone tried it as well.
[TouchPad General] Coronado is dead:
So, has there been a lot of luck with keyboards using these devices? I would love to use my Touchpad as a portable writing station, but the HP Bluetooth keyboard is really not great for me for typing for any length of time. I see it mentioned in the OP but not a lot of people reporting personal experiences across different keyboards.

Thanks all :)
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
Yes any USB keyboard should work fine, just remember that you need a USB power source.

From the original post:

If you want to diagnose items and see some info about what the Touchpad is detecting, download USB Device Info free from Google Play. Everything shows up under the Linux tab. It wont tell you if Android has drivers for the device, but merely IDs the device(s) confirming the connection if working.

Is your flash drive showing up under the list of devices under the Linux tab in this software? It also needs to be a FAT/FAT32 drive for Android to mount it, any drive 32GB or under should be using this format by default. NTFS drives can be mounted with 3rd party software.

ALL my USB flash now mount (FAT32) SD cards

I've posted on that thread, the utility presented there is a MUST HAVE. If you're using OTG host mode with USB flash drives on an HP touchpad, you need this.

With it, I can access all my flash memory, even the SDcard USB adapters that by overcoming 'insufficient availble bus power' indications. It provides an unmount as well.

I've used a Hub to connect keyboards and mice with excellent responsiveness. My best combo is without the hub, using a Logitec USB wireless mouse/keyboard combo.

I don't think I've tested any keyboards that didn't work. I was very pleased to see the wireless work. ::victory:

[INITIAL REVIEW] Juiced Systems 4-in-1

I got mine and here are my initial impressions:

=== Initial Review of Juiced Systems ACA adapter ===

I got this: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Multi-.../dp/B006MJZOMW

It is not a simple cable adapter but a USB OTG ACA (Accessory Charger Adapter) compliant device. Sadly it's designed for Galaxy Nexus Products and the full ACA compatibility doesn't appear to be implemented in hardware and/or software on the Touchpad with CM9.

1- It does function as OTG host port with the Micro usb, from a charger, powering the downstream devices. :good:

2- OTG to devices on USB/microSD/SD interfaces works well :good: Only one at a time for memory volumes (FAT32). Not sure if that's a software shortcoming.

3- Success with USB mice & keyboard devices including a USB wireless adapter for Logitec mouse/keyboard. :good:

4- Haven't found an NTFS mount solution for Touchpad w/ CM9 nightly 0903. :confused: This may be due to my USB HDD (3TB-NTFS). NTFS Mounter was a no-go.

5- It does connect to the Touchpad, but not with the HP folio case, or most cases, as it's a close fit. :( The MHL 5-in-1 has a short wired tail and would do better.

6- The ACA charging of the touchpad while hosting, or otherwise, sadly doesn't work as it was reported to function on SG2. :crying:

7- ACA indicator never lights up to signal either charging or host mode. :(

Initial Result:

- At $20USD there are fewer cables, but full ACA charging doesn't work, which was my motivation to spend more. :p

- OTG to devices on USB/microSD/SD interfaces works well, but only one at a time for memory volumes FAT32. :good:

- The physical connection seems a little weak to me. I almost feel like it could break off damaging the adapter, or worst, the micro USB interface. :crying:

Further tests:

- I want to check if the Wirless mouse/keyboard on USB can be used with a SD card in either slot.

- I'd also like to test of external HUB with devices further downstream such as self powered HDD and seperate USB Mice, Keyboards (for deskside use).

- Can anyone recommend a ICS compliant USB GPS & app?

Although this setup with: Touchpad, USB battery, Juice adapter, is simple and elegant, its pricy for features I'm not able to use (charging while host).

I'm not impressed it will be rugged enough for field use.

On these two counts, it's a not recommended device for HP touchpad. :( If you have another phone that can utilize these ACA features, then I'd say get one for use with both.

Here is my recommended portable solution for the HP (agrees with OP) as it would appear HP Touchpad is not OTG-ACA compliant:

- HP Touchpad

- Battery soulution of choice (OP) <<< $4.25USD

- OTG host cable & power Y combo (OP) <<< $6USD

- USB memory / flash drive of choice

(or other USB device that is ICS compatible with HP Touchpad)

My quest for charging the HP touchpad & downstream devices in host mode continues... :(

Can anyone confirm this? :confused:
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
I just uploaded the Drive Mount apk in the original post. This is what I have been using personally to mount computer HDDs with using a Rosewill IDE/SATA USB adapter.

From my experience when OTG is activated that the Touchpad refuses to accept power via microUSB. I have tried setups where there was plenty of current available if the Touchpad wanted to charge by using the 2A Touchpad charger along with a USB mouse that only consumes 0.1A. If you use a Touchstone charger the Touchpad will charge from that while still allowing OTG to work via microUSB. If somebody can figure out a way around this please let us know how, but I am under the assumption that the +5v wire on the microUSB port is being internally switched when OTG is activated.
[TouchPad General] manera:
Okay guys I'm new to this OTG setup.

And to get started I bought this external USB battery pack ( NEWEGG - Rosewill RCBR-11010 5000mAh External) on Cyber Monday. See attachment.

I am waiting on the last OTG cable to come in. Hopefully this setup will allow an external HDD to be powered on the go.

I'll report back with my results.

Thanks for the info on the otg/mhl adapter. There have been a lot of requests for an all in one like it in the Evo3d OTG Tips & Tricks thread .

I haven't had the TP long but wonder if mhl is possible with the TP's 8060 kernel? (its the same as the 3d). Haven't seen anything about it yet and other than SGA (TP is having hw problems), I haven't seen any recent custom kernel work.

[TouchPad General] chinna_rao:
I followed the instructions(and even this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nc7tlPwFQpg ) but could not get the touchpad to work with a usb mouse, no cursor, even though the LED on the optical mouse lit up (showing there is power).

i tried a pen drive also but when I opened ES file manager,could not see anything called MOUNT DRIVE in favourites...where else should I look for usb drive?

I need to get the mouse working first.

I am running CM9 nightly of 2nd DEC 2012 on my HP Touchpad(which is USB OTG ENABLED)
[TouchPad General] mpgrimm2:
Chinna,

You need to have a separate "Isolated" USB power source and OTG cable for the devices or modify the TP. I can verify that OTG works with the setups in the Tips & Tricks thread and can mount USB Thumbdrives with "Stickmount" on CM9 Nightly. See my previous post for links.
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
Try the "USB Device Info" app I talk about in the OP. A plugged in USB OTG adapter will show up as "Qualcomm On-Chip EHCI Host Controller" under the Linux tab regardless of whether or not power is present. This is a good way to see if you have a working OTG adapter. Since your mouse is getting power, I'm guessing you may have a bad OTG adapter.

A regular microUSB cable is not an OTG adapter, there is an extra pin that is used for OTG. If you are seeing 0 devices detected under the Linux tab in USB Device info with your OTG adapter plugged in, then you have a bad OTG adapter.
[TouchPad General] chinna_rao:
USB device info app shows nothing for me...but I tried TPUSBMount...it shows this when I connect a card reader...I busted my mouse after I got fed up trying all night to connect it....:P so I can't upload a screenshot for that until I get a new mouse...

Btw I did short the unused and ground pin to convert it into an otg adapter
[TouchPad General] chinna_rao:
Hi...I use the USB charger for my galaxy ace phone for the external power supply...
[TouchPad General] chinna_rao:
Sorry...didn't select Linux...my bad.... got this when I connected only the cable without anything else connected
[TouchPad General] spunker88:
Okay, so your OTG adapter is working then. Guess the next thing to check would be your wiring setup. You said your mouse was getting power because the LED was lighting up. USB keyboards and mice use very little power (usually 100mA) so I I imagine its getting enough power to run. Any USB mouse/keyboard should be plug and play.

Any device you plug into your OTG adapter should show up under that Linux tab, regardless of whether or not Android supports it since its merely matching the device ID against a Linux database. Its the easiest way IMO to see whether or not something is connected.
[TouchPad General] chinna_rao:
I do not have any mouse or keyboard with me right now..is there any other alternative?
