[Nexus Q General] davidnhutch:
Hi folks,

I hope this helps someone out there. I didn't have a USB A female to USB micro A male On-The-Go (OTG) cable, they are rather rare. So I made my own. I have it plugged in right now and both my keyboard and mouse (Logitech K350) communicate to the bluetooth dongle, which is plugged into this cable, and into the Q and working fine.

This is how to make one:

Cut the female USB A female end off a USB extension cord

Cut the male USB micro A end off a USB micro extension cord (the micro A looks squarish, the micro B looks trapezoidal. Both will fit in the Q's receptacle. This should be possible to do with a micro B end too, but I didn't try it.

Solder the wires together, matching color to color. Tape up the wires so they don't touch.

Now you'll notice the "big" USB has four pins and the micro USB has five pins. And you soldered four wires. So what about that fifth pin? Open up the micro A connector. Most of them are fused shut but you can usually slit it on either side with a knife and open it like a clam shell. Find the fifth pin (it'll be the only one not connected to anything). Short that pin to the ground pin using a bit of wire or solder. You can figure out which one is the ground pin either by looking at the wire color (should be black) or consulting a micro USB pinout diagram.

Glue the clamshell back together again.

Plug in your keyboard and/or mouse (dongle or otherwise) and it should work! Does for me! Not only the basic keyboard/mouse functions but also many of the special keys, like the special "play" / "pause" / etc buttons at the top. Esc is back.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EmmaHAARP:
Hi Captivators!

The power button (lock button) is not working. the phone only turns on when battery is re-inserted or when it is plugged in for charging. I cant manage to flash any ROM on recovery because of that. Any way i can re-map the buttons so the volume button responds to powering on/off?

thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
There are several threads in the general and q&a about this problem....

But also.... Boot into the recovery (and since ur power button is messed up) u can navigate through the cwm recovery with the "capacitive" buttons on the captivate. --- Menu= Down, Home= Up, Back arrow= Back, Search button= Select

Hi guys,

I'm having a weird bug with SMS notifications on my S3, when I get a text it will cut short or sometimes not even play the notification sound. I've tried various tones, restarting the phone, changing the settings off - reboot - turn setting back on, but nothing is sorting it... Anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it?

Thanks,

If anyone wants it to see if they can edit it to get it to work for our Tf's then let me know and il post it up.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] eclipsem:
I have recoverymod 5.8.3.4.

When i use any rom (revolution hd, aokp, or aosp jb), i get always a loop reboot into recovery.

So i use commands i write below.

* i wipe data, cache, etc.

* i flash a new rom

* i tape commands from my computer directly.

Then it's ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xLexi:
I have a european Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.1.1 Jellybean. Ive noticed that for some reason the entire phone needs to be set to US English. Now just the Google Now application; for it to use the new less artifical TTS. I prefer UK English.

Not to mention voice recognition and results on Google Now operate in 12-hour clock and imperial units. Both of which annoy me greatly.

So let me split up my question to make answering this easier.

1. Is there a way to keep my phone language set to UK English and use the new TTS?

2. Is there a way to make Google Now understand metric units. Example "Remind me to do the laundry at 22-hundred" rather than 10-pm.

3. Is there a way to make Google now SPEAK metric units. It does Celsius, but thats about it, no 24 hour or clock, and it always shows feet and that stuff as primary units.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
I have things set to American (Region set as Malaysia/Singapore, commonwealth countries that speak English and only use metric) and I can get metric every where? Also in Google Now offline voice TTS there's a UK English pack you can download.

2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_clock Military time, you may understand why this wasn't at the top of the list to be included yet. I'm sure it will come with time.

3. I have heard it say things in metric before but it's incomplete. Also do try to download the UK English voice pack, I think that helps.

The thing that over-rides all of this is that Google Now is still a work in progress and we should all see consistent expansion of it over time as they add more words/interpretation rules/other languages(which will require expanding on metric)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drags_:
I really don't like the animation that the Jelly Bean lockscreen makes when you turn on the phones display, is there any way to go back to the ICS version without reinstalling ICS? thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xLexi:
You could install a third party lockscreen made to emulate it from Google Play.

Go Locker + the "Go Locker Ice" addon seems to do it rather well. If not you could always wait and look for a ROM that ports it over.
[HTC Sensation] asctony:
Is there any apk or widget that will allow you to turn the Power Off without using the Power Off/On switch on my Sensation? Checked all my resources and could not find one. I do have a widget to turn screen off and lock. Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Obviously didnt search much did you? its been pointed out many times that 4EXT paid for app has an extensive power menu that can shut down the phone, reboot, reboot into bootloader, reboot android shell, reboot into recovery etc etc.
[HTC Sensation] asctony:
Thanks for your reply. However, why did you have to be so opinionated? Your comment was not appreciated. FYI-You need to be Rooted to use this apk.
[HTC Sensation] irrelephant:
Search the play store there are many apps with widgets that do this...
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Quickboot works great.
[HTC Sensation] asctony:
I check all my resources. That includes Play Store, many other sites that offer cracked sw, etc. Most of the apks require rooting. I have been on this forum since 2006 so I fully understand 'SEARCH.' I tried Quick Boot and most of the others. Example:

Quick Boot (Reboot) - Reboot your phone quickly. Boot into Recovery and Bootloader with one tap. ** Root access to your phone is required to use this application. If you are not aware whether or not your phone has root access, you probably don't have root access. ** Quickly and easily reboot your device, power off

Thanks anyway. Apparently no one knows of an apk that will do this without being rooted.
[HTC Sensation] Jonny:
Thing is, until that post, we didnt know you werent rooted because you didnt tell us. Had you told us then the answer would have been "no" because accessing the power off/reboot via an app requires root access as you found out.
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Yeah, sorry man, I assumed you were rooted. Otherwise would not have recommended quick boot.
[HTC Sensation] asctony:
Sorry I didn't mention that I was not rooted. Did that on my old phones (MDA, Wing, Omina I900, iPhone (JB), and HTC HD2. But left this one stock. To me it was not worth the effort. Thanks to all who tried to help!

Hallo,

I have CyanogenMod 9.0.0RC2 on my Galaxy S and I also have an Sony Xperia Arc S with 4.0.4 and there when you Search for available networks it shows all Operator names and a symbol 2G and 3G. So if a provider has 2G and 3G it is shown twice. Where can I set this option? It must be possible somehow, otherwise Sony coulnd't have done it. It would be great if this is also possible with Android 2.3 as this is the official firmware from Samsung.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your reply. My primary aim is not to directly choose the network but to see which networks are available. Of course this is also possible with Galaxy S but there I have to scan twice. Once with the option "WCDMA only" and the second with "GSM only".

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoo_dr:
i installed something called eclipse.. I plug in tablet and get to fastboot mode then-- nothing happens- anyone know how one "flashes". Obviously techno noob here
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoo_dr:
this worked

Terminal Emulator Method

Install Android Terminal Emulator on your tablet.

Download the ClockworkMod Recovery image file directly to your tablet, preferably in the root of the /sdcard directory. Take note of where the file is saved. Rename the file to cwm-touch.blob.

Launch Android Terminal Emulator on your tablet.

Enter the commands below. If you did not save/move/copy the image file to the /sdcard directory, you need to replace /sdcardin the second command below with the correct directory where you saved the recovery image file to.

su

dd if=/sdcard/cwm-touch.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

Reboot your tablet. The blob file will be automatically installed as your tablet reboots.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
You can uninstall Eclipse. It has nothing to do with Android or flashing anything. It's an Integrated Development Environment, which is kind of like a word processor for programmers. The only relation it has to Android is that it supports the Java programming language, so a lot of Android developers use it. If you're not going to be writing apps or messing with Android source code, it's probably best if you uninstall Eclipse, just because you won't use it, and it's taking up storage space.

Also, what were you expecting to happen when you put the tablet in fastboot mode? It just opens up a serial connection with a host (in this case, your computer) and allows the host to access the tablet via fastboot (sounds confusing, I know; it's not particularly fast, and doesn't have much to do with booting anything; it's like ADB but for low-level [hardware] flashing) and run commands. The tablet itself does nothing except display the message that it's in fastboot mode. Once the tablet says that, you run fastboot on the computer.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoo_dr:
thanks for the reply. Now I have a brick---tried to install stock rom and hangs on asus with the wheel going round and round. It deleted my cwm so now no recovery on tablet. When I go into fastboot, it doesnt seem to recognize my tablet adb devices--nothing comes up
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoo_dr:
In my device manager I see no adp drivers- the only driver which keeps installing when I plug in the tablet and go to fastmode is the asus bootloader interface so I cant do anything with the tablet--- no recognition of device with adb devices command Help please
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
If you're in fastboot, ADB won't recognize the tablet. You need to use the fastboot commands with fastboot.

What to do:

-download the CWM blob on your computer

-put the CWM blob in the directory on your computer with the fastboot program

-boot the tablet into fastboot, and flash CWM

-boot into CWM, and restore the nandroid backup you should have made.

Alternately, if you didn't make a nandroid backup, you can boot into recovery, push the Asus stock ROM to /sdcard on your tablet via ADB (I'm assuming ADB works in the stock recovery), then reboot into recovery, and it should flash the update automatically. This will erase ALL your data, including /sdcard.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoo_dr:
is cwm blob recovery.img?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
I'm not sure if flashing .img files works with this tablet, but you could try. If it doesn't work, go to the place you got the recovery (as long as it's not from ROM Manager, and you're positive it's not the TF201's recovery), and there should be a file that ends in .blob. That's the one you need.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoo_dr:
then I just place it in the same directory and click on fastboot? or is there more to it? seems to be having trouble with drivers mtp driver not installing???
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EndlessDissent:
I don't use Windows, so I don't know about the drivers. There's a thread in the development section with all the Windows drivers you need, though.

You put the blob in the directory where fastboot is. You open the command line (open Run, and type "cmd" [no quotes]) and run the fastboot command from there.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voodoo_dr:
got it thanks cwm is back
