[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoej:
I am currently extending my media center setup. Right now it is Windows-based, and I have used a lot of app/server combinations to control Media Player/Media Center, which I am pretty happy with.

Now my problem is that I have bought an iPod dock that just connects the iPod via USB to my HTPC, which makes it possible to directly and 100 % digitally play music from the iPod. I have been looking for an app/server combination to remotely control the iPod playback from my Android device, but haven't found anything. There are a lot of apps to remote control iTunes, but are there anyone which can also control an iPod connected via USB?

Using Windows 7 - can change to Linux if that will do it, 32/64 bit doesn't matter. HTC Desire Z using Android 2.3 or 4.0 doesn't matter what is required - I just want to find a way of doing this.

(If the app/server combination also will control Media Player/Media Center, it is a plus, but not a requirement as I already have another app for that.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requist:
A possibility would be to just use your ipod as a hard drive:

support.apple.com/kb/HT1478

Now you can use any client server config between your android device and a musicplayer on your pc.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hoej:
I took a look at the article and tried it, but if I am right, it will not allow the music to be played back on the iPod - furthermore, it would not allow me to play back music for instance from a friend's iPod.

That is also one of the reasons why I want "real" iPod remote control - it is possible through iTunes, I just want to find a remote control app that also controls the iPod rather than only the iTunes library.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] requist:
hmm, you mean the ipod is supposed to use its own mediaplayer, which audio-output do you want to use, the computers or the ipod's?

If you use the computer output I do not see why you want to use the local mediaplayer on the ipod (and did not know this was possible), if you are able to access the ipod as a mass storage you can play all music on your ipod or your friends ipod without a problem?

If you want to use the audiosystem from the ipod I see the problem.

im planning to retire my desire hd and get a galaxy note

iis there anythiing samsung-specifiic i should know about?

e.g. like the counter that counts the flashes
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhisahara:
Yeah samsung includes a flash counter and a yellow triangle screen when you flash a custom kernel. This can be easily avoided if you follow the steps what are written in the below posts. :) Make sure of what you are doing and always search and read before directly diving into anything. Basics for any phone rooting and flashing :)

Go get you beast in your hand. And here we have the whole community to help you out :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @Class:
Yeah for me I've noticed the Samsung firmware's seem to be less stable when compared to HTC firmwares.

Be sure to get the most stable one you can find, most often its not necessarily the most recent.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zamboney:
Samsung doesn't have locked boot loaders, so it's much easier to flash.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panyan:
oh, so a custom rom might be made from an older more stable firmware rather than the latest?

but it has other annoyances like the flash counter

[Sony Tablet S] Fishtick26:
I would like my Nook Color to think it is a Sony Tablet S. Can someone list or send me a build.prop file so I know how to edit mine? I would like to see if can use my PS3 controller with Oblige.
[Sony Tablet S] DreadPirateDan:
lol there is no way that is going to work. Unless you can manage to successfully hack a version of our full firmware to run, no way, no how.

Also, just get six axis off the market (if it's still there). It will allow you to use a ps3 remote with any android device (as long as the bluetooth version is good enough).
[Sony Tablet S] Fishtick26:
Maybe I am asking the wrong thing. For things like Gameloft games you can change a few things in your build.prop to make the Market and the games think you have a compatable device. I already have Sixaxis and it works great with all my emulators. What I need is for the Onlive application to THINK I have a Sony Tablet S so it opens the option to utilize my PS3 controller. It seems I should be able to change things like model and manufacturer to trick the application. Anyone willing to let me know the build.prop entries that may pertain to model information? By the way, I am using a rooted custom ROM.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ramhardy:
I've tried installing 2 different ICS roms and it just goes into a continous re-boot after install, I've done the factory reset and wipe cache's, any other ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rod3:
Darkside Super Wipe. You can find it in the dev section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ramhardy:
This is going to sound stupid I'm sure, but what does that wipe do that the other's don't?

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Ramhardy:
mods,

you can completely delete this thread if you're not busy, I ended up sticking with the juggernaut rom and phone works great

thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HadenVR:
Reboot to CWM.

You'll need to full wipe by going to storage & mount

format the following- data, system, and cache.

next go back to the main cwm screen.

wipe factory/data that is on the main CWM screen and wipe cache partition.

afterwards go to advance then wipe delvik cache.

done!

or search for Darkside Super Wipe tool which can be found in the dev section.(pretty much the same thing but in one button)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pratikjac:
Hi,

I see yellow tints on the screen edges when the phone gets hot. I know Sony has admitted this to be a problem with Xperia S. I contacted Sony Support and they said that they can't support the phone as the phone isn't available in US. Can anybody suggest me my options? How do I get this fixed? Has anyone in US faced this problem?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
First we have a few threads like this that you could have found instead of posting in a new thread.

What is your phone market built? I mean for which market your phone was built for? Where did you buy it?

Open the batter cover in the back and read the lable somewhere says 12Wxx what is the number for XX?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pratikjac:
First of all I didn't find answer to my question on any of the threads posted. Maybe I missed it, sorry for that.

The number you asked is 12W09. I bought the phone from ebay from a reseller. Not sure where he imported the phone from.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
Its part of the screen, the only solution is to either A, keep the phone really cool, or B replace it. As you dont have any RMA option, you're left with option A. G'luck with that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bruj3w:
lolz, option A isn't really an option. Thing gets hot and if it's anything like mine it'll start showing at lower temperatures and spread.

I'd contact the shop you bought it from and ask them to send you a replacement.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pratikjac:
Does anyone know what fix is it? is it something we can do it ourselves?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
At first I thought having the Navigation controls in AOKP enabled was pretty damn cool but I have to admit, even at their smallest height (dp), I still prefer to have the capacitive. I simply hate losing ANY screen real estate. Just wanted to get some other opinions. I know there's a way to get them to temporarily hide but it didn't seem to work as flawlessly as I was hoping...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] qwertyaas:
I still use the cap buttons - although I turned off the backlighting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Camph:
Capacitive. It doesn't make sense to use on screen buttons unless the phone was designed for it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SirWizzAlot:
I switch back and forth because I like the one-click option for my recent apps with the on-screen buttons as opposed to the long-press with the capacitive ones. But I do like the capacitive buttons more because they don't take up any screen real estate.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
When I get a phone that doesn't trade screen area for functionality that's already present, (or close enough) I'll let you know. Until then, I'll be rockin' my capacitive buttons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Volcomstone000095:
I prefer capacitive. It seems redundant having two sets of buttons that do the same thing right on top of each other!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] adelvillar:
Cap buttons. The nav bar takes away screen real state.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jpgalaxy:
Couldnt agree more. I tried the navigation buttons and was really surprised how much it bothered me that I was missing that little bit of room on the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kuduku:
cap button , no use wasting screen real estate , have never used them . Even when cap buttons were not working i was using LMT
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
+1

I'll happily use on screen buttons when the bezel is smaller than capacitive buttons.

Look at the ONE X (why they didn't just do 4 buttons and have menu I don't get), its the same physical size as the galaxy nexus, with a bigger screen, and still fit buttons in the bezel. So you actually use the whole screen, until HTC's shortsightenedness of no menu key catches up. Not to derail the thread, but I think that is a huge oversight. To have a foot in both camps: capacituve and on screen buttons.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] oddspec:
Cap buttons all the way but from what i can tell from supposed looks of sgs 3 most phones will probably do away with cap buttons once ics is the norm on all new phones
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I like em both.. prefer cap buttons because of the native search button.. almost a must for me. Nice shortcut!:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
cap most definitely. I really dont like that nav bar at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] draztikrhymez:
I hate the cap buttons but losing screen space is worse to me right now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Duffman14:
Cap buttons. The way it was designed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] smknutson:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Glad I didn't create a poll... haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hbar:
Seriously, there was a thread not long ago about disabling the cap buttons completely so you could use the on-screen buttons...I read that thread and was like, wtf? Why would you waste screen space on buttons when the phone already has them in hardware? Doesn't make any sense to me, but to each his own I guess.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cryosx:
Appearance wise the nav bar is much nicer. Usefulness is also greater with the nav bar because you can customize it. But because we already have cap buttons it just feels like a waste. At the end of the day i'd probably prefer a gnexus setup
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dgball:
Capacitive...unless they were not there at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fanfare6:
cap buttons for now. But I like the idea of eliminating some hardware fragmentation on Android and will gladly adapt when the time comes.

Cause, I mean, who wouldn't like the extra screen real estate for media viewing and such if they just shrink the bezel in turn??
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Jay321:
ok so my daughter loves to play temple run on my tablet. she is 1 years old. dont ask lol. but she drained the hell out of my battery and it died. im guesing she tried to cut it back on and now the orange light doesnt come on when plug it into to the wall charger. also i tried to hold the power button for like 45 secs and see if i could turn it on while plugged up. but no action. any suggestions?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
leave it charging overnight and hope it comes back. If it does not you will need to search out threads in general and q & a. There have been a couple who have managed to take the back cover off of their flyer and detached the battery to charge by alternative means.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyStriker33:
I unlocked my bootloader via omnius, installed doomkernel and rebooted with no problem, then from recovery did a wipe cache/dalvik and then installed Arconium 8.1

Now i cant get passed the doomkernel startup image, it just freezes there and i have to remove the battery. I also cant access recovery.

Im on baseband 64, had Team Stock Rom installed, and used CWM Auto-Installer 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2. (these were installed while bootloader was locked)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallimo:
Do you know how to use fast boot? If so I would suggest you use the kernel provided with arconium 8.1 .

Open a cmd window easiest way is to browse to the location where fastoot is located, paste the kernel usually called boot.img in the same folder hold the shift key on your keyboard and press right click and select open command window here. Shut down your phone and then while holding the menu key on your phone plug in the USB cable. Then in the command prompt type fastboot flash boot boot.img

It should show that the kernel was flashed and you can try and start your phone again.

Good luck
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyStriker33:
Just did that and still it freezes on doomkernel start up image... im desperate

I think the key to the problem is that I had a CWM recovery installed

only for stock fw,

and I installed arconium on it.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blitzkrieg_:
yeah "CWM Auto-Installer 5.0.2.7-nAa-r2" it is!! stock only..
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LuckyStriker33:
I know that, but what I need is a solution. Im downloading a prerooted .62 fw, is there any other way to solve this without flashing?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wallimo:
Doom kernel should come pre loaded with cwm, but make sure the one ur using is arconium 8.1 because If your using the wrong kernel your phone will not boot.

Just clarify a boot loop is usually a loop of what ever logos repeating over and over so for example if I was having a boot loop in cm9 I would see the freexperia logo than the cm9 logo then freexperia logo again.

+1!! It's easy once someone spells it out, lol.

Question (and I know it's probably been discussed elsewhere, but clearly I've only just noticed it), with this issue with not being able to enable mass storage...does this mean that once I've chosen a particular ROM, placed it onto SD and unlocked/flashed recovery, I won't be able to flash another different ROM? Can I not just flash through fastboot??
[HTC One X] f4flake:
Is it worth collating the oem get_identifier_token calls and responses? As there may be an obvious correlation whereby HTVDev can be bypassed or the process simplified.
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
If the dev has released a set of fastboot images then you can install them through fastboot.

You can change roms as you still have USB mode in the custom Rom you have, the only real problem comes if you format your system partition and then realise you don't have a Rom to install on the sdcard, at this point you can't get to a position where you can put a new zip on so you would have to do the ruu and start from scratch

It's only when in the recovery that USB doesn't work, as soon as you flash your new Rom and boot it you can use USB as normal

Thanks for this guide... quick question though: I started the process on HTCDEV and got the usual warning about warranties being voided etc, but it also says that all apps and settings will be wiped from the device when the bootloader is unlocked. Is this true? I've had my HOX for a few weeks and would like to root it without having to set up everything again. Can I get through this whole process of unlocking, installing CWM recovery and SuperSU without having to revert to a "new" phone? I really only want to root the stock rom at the moment.
