[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the lemming:
I know that a tablet is best used via the touch screen, however I intend to connect my Android Tablet to the TV to watch movies and TV shows from the comfort of the sofa.

I've just bought a wireless mouse which works with my Tablet, that is until I want to watch movies or TV shows.

While sat on the sofa, several meters from the TV and Tablet I can control the Tablet with my wireless mouse. No great shakes there but my problems start when I want to watch movies or TV shows. If I watch anything that I captured with my camera or Tablet I can control the aps by bringing up menus so that I can press pause, play fast forward or rewind.

However when I want to watch a movie or TV show I can not find a way to bring up a menu so that I can select pause, play forward or rewind. The only option I get is that when I right click I am kicked out of the movie/TV show and back to the general menu of all my available movies and TV shows.

Anybody know why I can access playback menus for home produced video but I can't with movies or TV shows?

Anybody know how to remotely control an android tablet while it is connected to a TV?

I also have an android phone, if this can be used as well instead of the wireless mouse.

Hi

I have made some modifications to an MTD ROM posted in dev section.

I would like to test it on an emulator before I flash it to my actual device.

I installed Eclipse (with ADT plugin) and downloaded some Google APIs (2.1,2.2,2.3.3) but I haven't seen our device in the list...

So I just launched a virtual device based on 2.3.3 but I don't think it is heping me much, it's just a general 2.3.3 android device.

My questions are :

(and I did read quite a lot, maybe haven't looked in the right places)

1. what target do I need to download and add to AVD to emulate SGH-T959V ?

2. How do I get it to function with recovery ? and actually flash kernel etc.

3. Do I need specific actions to emulate MTD over our phone ? same as in real phone ?

4. Will I be able to virtually flash a ROM on an emulator ?

links to constructive/informative sources are also appreciated.

Thanks a lot !

I'll rephrase, how do you guys test your ROMs prior to flashing them, or you don't...

I have been trying to do that for a while. What I've discovered is that you can build emulater version from source, or use a nandroid backup.

Is anyone else having trouble with keeping their Bluetooth headset connect to their HOX on 1.85? I have a Plantronics, which has worked great until I exchanged my HOX for a new one. I have unpaired and then paired again several times. It pairs and connects, but when I make a call it starts out where I can hear it ring and then disconnects after 2 seconds. Works fine with the Bluetooth connection in my Fusion. Any thoughts?

I have the same problem with 1.85. If you disable WiFi the BT will work fine, but it seems like you'll have to decide if you want BT or WiFi....I'm on my 3rd handset and I"m about done with HTC :mad:

I tried many Android NAND ROMs for HD2.

Everything works fine except when I start to use Google Maps with GPS enabled my phone stops working and I cannot doanything other than taking off the battery and start it again.

My HD2 is not the T-Mobile one. Thats all I know about it :D!!

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MIH1406:
This is the only app that I am always taking off the battery to use it again and taking off the battery until I reaches the location I want :)!

I have not tried the GPS with other apps except Google Maps.

I will try it and post the result here.

I think the issue is only with Google Maps.

I tried MapQuest app and GPS Test app and they worked fine without any problem but when I started the Google Maps the phone stopped working "hanged"!!

This happened only if I turnd the GPS on and started Google Maps. But if GPS is off the Google Maps is working fine.

Any help.

What's your Google Maps version? Are you on the latest version ? If not, try upgrading it and see if it resolves your issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sound-mind:
I was having problems getting adb to recognize my Galaxy Nexus LTE when it was connected to OS X. It worked fine from Linux w/ the correct udev rules. I eventually tracked it down by comparing the vendor IDs I was using in Linux w/ the vendor ID I was seeing in OS X. The vendor ID in OS X was showing up as 0x15eb instead of 0x04e8. The only difference between the two was that in Linux it was directly connected to the computer through the internal hub. In OS X it was connected via a powered external hub. So I removed the hub and connected the device directly. Is this configuration is shows up with the correct vendor ID and adb works fine. I know different IDs are used at different points, eg fastboot/recovery vs. fully booted.

My question is - why am I seeing different vendor IDs when it is connected via an internal hub vs. an external hub?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
That Device ID is the USB hub's id.

ADB won't work if you connect your phone to some USB hubs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sound-mind:
Thanks. But it doesn't look like the ID is the hubs product or vendor ID. It seems like the phone is presenting itself as a different gadget. The vendor ID when plugged into the external hub seems to match that of a modem or serial connection.

I'm guessing that the USB hub have a separate chip because your computer is not reading your phone.

Btw phones often will not get recognized by the computer if you plug it into a USB hub.
[General Questions and Answers] Latoof:
Hello. That's a vague question :

I have a custom USB device (class 0xff) and I want to communicate with it using my Android phone. I'm on ICS "stock" (original), and official API provides USB functionnalites.

I use a Java and C API to communicate with my device from my computer (libusb), so I though that it could be possible to do the same with my Androphone, and an OTG USB cable.

But my problem : When I plug the device to the Smartphone, it is correctly detected (and powered). Endpoints are correctly listed, and I can retrieve the serial name. But when I call the "claimInterface" function (Android API), it fails. I don't understand why, because the class of my device is unspecified and shouldn't be handled by Android OS or other App.

When I do a diagnostic with the XDA USB Host test software, I get "yes" in line "claimed" (Base API).

I realize that my question is too specific. My hope is to find someone who has already worked on this kind of problem, or who knows the limits of the USB host.

Thanks in advance.

Brothers,this is the first post from me in xda,sorry for my bad english..

Alright,back to the question...

As you know i want to make my nexus become fullscreen display so i root and use the softkeys to replace the 3original softkeys..

However,I found that the LMT Launcher v1.2 is not good enough for me so i want to find another softkey to use.....but after finding,i find that there are only 2 choice i can choose..

1:LMT Launcher v1.2

2:Button Savior Pro

So i want to ask wether are there any other choice i can choose?

If any brothers know...please tell me!!!!

Especially i want the one as same as the i phone!

If your rooted and have a custom rom that supports removal of soft keys like aokp or some aosp roms Try black ice rom on rootzwiki if your looking for the gsm version there the soft keys are in the power menu and the toggle on and off in there too ;)

hey brothers,,first of all..sorry,,may be i use the wrong word....

while my word 'soft key' is that the software keys....because i hide the original 3 keys and use some software to replace it...so i wanna to ask are there any other choices of software i can use to replace the function of "back home and search........

[HTC One S] ozzie1p:
I wouldn't flash it until it gets sorted out what's in it. It looks like the firmware.zip has a new h-boot (hboot_8960_1.09.0000_20120402_signedbyaa.img) so if they've patched some holes that were in the old one then flashing this might screw you if they get s-off on the previous h-boot.......I think :p

How to Install OTA:

1. Download OTA file

2. Rename it 'update.zip' (not update.zip.zip)

3. Put on root of SD card

4. Boot phone into HBOOT

5. Select recovery

6. Select Update from Zip

7. Select 'install update.zip from SD card'

8. Press power to select

If Update fails or running custom ROM or Modified ROM, Follow the below steps:

4) flashed the update.zip as a normal zip install

5) rebooted and the update had taken place

Then to be able to restore my previous custom Rom

6) re-flashed using fastboot the custom recovery and did an erase cache

7)rebooted into recovery twice ( the first time I tried to reboot into recovery I still didn't have custom recovery )

8) restored my custom rom backup

There is NO DOUBT at all that prior to the OTA update that the radio had NOT been fully updated since despite the ROM reporting updated baseband my reception was no different, but after the update there was a clear improvement in reception and battery life - I have no way to prove this but I'm very sure that this is the case

Hope this helps someone

(OR)

2) fastboot flash system system.img (original system img from RUU, it failed though)

3) fastboot clear cache

4) fastboot flash recovery endeavoru_recovery_signed.img

5) fastboot oem lock

6) Then Run 1.26 RUU

7) Boot and installed OTA via system update.

Now have to unlock again...

2. the radio

Obviously the phone needs to be rooted.

I see 3 cases:

1 Phone rooted with default recovery and original ROM

2 Phone rooted with CWM recovery and original ROM

3 Phone rooted with CWM recovery and Custom ROM

for what i see you can:

case 1: Apply the rom and radio update

case 2: Apply the rom and radio update

case 2: Apply the radio update only

Can someone confirm this please?

This is not a flashable ROM yet. The ROM update that is provided is what was pushed through TMo and is not flashable through a custom recovery. You CAN flash the radio through a custom recovery.
