[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dalekesi:
Hi, i am new with the Xperia P, today i put a rom and did wipe cache/data and format system, and now not boot up, but if it enters to recovery...

How to put a firmawe? and how to force off why is on for more 1 h...

Thanks, sorry for my bad english.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dalekesi:
Solved, After pressing all buttons to turn off (turn it off with the two vol buttons and power button), flash with FlashTool and ready.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Snowstormzzz:
I think you placed the rom then wiped. It should be the other way around.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Jazz Like That:
After flashing the ROM, you should not format the system. Because you just installed the ROM in the system. Now formatting it won't make any sense. Hence it will not boot up.

Only cache and dalvik wipe will do after flashing the ROM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dalekesi:
I did wipe cache/data and format system before flashing the rom.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecki2k:
Hi there!

Hope someone can help me here...

I have a 10" Teclast A10t (Allwinner A15 CPU, based on Cortex a8) running ICS which sports an HDMI Output.

Now, I'd like to use it as a upnp client hooked up to a widescreen 1080p display via HDMI,but the picture I get on the big display is always 4:3 which ends up being either an incredible waste of display when playing widescreen media or quite blurry and overall fugly when stretched to fit the screen using the display's settings (and, of course, it's stretched which makes watching movies not exactly enjoyable).

Anyways, I can't find an option to select the AR of the HDMI output... Does anyone here know how to do the trick? Am I overlooking something, is there an app for that (tm) or am I just f*cked and it's not achievable?

Tried CM9, CM10, googled around for hours qnd searched the market but to no avail...

Thanks in advance

Hi same here... well almost.

I have rk3066 tablet, screen resolutinon 1024x768 (4:3).

Output via HDMI gives picture that is not corect. Circles are not circles anymore ,but horizontal elipses
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rheti:
You can do this with AOKP I believe.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinay9898:
You can use Resolution Changer to change the resolution from 4:3 to 16:9 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lugalabs.resolutionchanger&hl=en).

Note: The app REQUIRES ROOT.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Walker:
I had the same problem as my 4:3 tablet has an HDMI output, yet when connected to a 16:9 TV, the picture was stretched making circles turn into horizontal ovals. I also tested this with Chromecast and it worked well, too.

The SecondScreen app (free) and a bit of additional research let me find a way of getting this working without having to root.

This solution will work well for those that want to use a 4:3 tablet (e.g. 9.7" 2048x1536) with HDMI and/or Chromecast/Miracast on a 16:9 format screen (TV/projector) and have found the picture looks squashed (egg.shaped instead of round). This will fix those problems well WITHOUT needing to root. It just needs a little effort to install this properly.

First of all, you need to install SecondScreen on the tablet (or smartphone).

Then you need a PC (preferably Windows 7 as anything higher needs additional security steps) with Google Chrome installed and a bit of patience.

Follow the instructions on this page up to and including step 6:

https://medium.com/sentio-superbook/enabling-sentio-desktop-dpi-resolution-change-d1a0b40e2c84

For step 7, use this exact command, instead: pm grant com.farmerbb.secondscreen.free android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

After that, you can proceed to setup the app, there are now no more root issues and it works well. I recommend setting up profiles with 160 (for smaller and more text on screen) and 240 dpi (normal size). If you go higher than that, you start losing icons on your desktop that have to be setup again.

Alternatives:

If you just want to play videos properly, use VLC Player as that natively sends the videos in the correct aspect ratio to the TV (second screen method). This also works well with Chromecast.

For images, Google Photos does have a cast button, that will then display the images in the correct aspect ratio on Chromecast - this will NOT work with HDMI. Showing still images with Chromecast is somewhat frustrating, as the pictures are often pixelated at first and by the time they look good, the slideshow goes on to the next picture. HDMI is MUCH better than Chromecast in this aspect. Pity that many Tablets do not have an HDMI port.

My recommendation is clearly to use the HDMI port and this solution, when showing videos and images. HDMI is much easier to use (just plug in the cable), as well. If your tablet does not have an HDMI port, Chromecast is just as good with videos, but worse with still images. Chromecast also requires a local Wi-Fi router and internet connection to work. Miracast does not require a local Wi-Fi or internet, but suffers from pixelation the most. This could be OK for static slides, but videos rarely look good on Miracast.

Hi,

Trying to do a nandroid backup with touch 6.0.1.4 and it does not work. I try on sdcard and external sdcard and both fail.

Message I get:

No /sdcard/,android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.

Backing up cache...

No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.

Backup complete.

Backup take like 15 seconds and the size is only like 20k so it is not backing up much.

I did reinstall touch a few time and fix permissions.

Any idea whats wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] corythug:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
I tried the same version of cwm as you. After a couple of days, my external sd unmounted and wouldn't remount. Since the recovery was the only thing i had changed in almost a month, i knew it had to be recovery. Flashed back to 5.8.4.5 touch, but had to take my external out, pull everything off, reformat, and put everything back on it. (Real pita considering i have a32gb card).

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] charger400:
Trying to unroot my Transformer Prime so I can get Jellybean. I know you don't need to unroot it to do so, but honestly I don't see the point in rooting as I have no desire to install custom ROMS or anything like that and frankly, I don't want to deal with having to know anything even remotely fancy about how to work my machine.

Anyway, I'm somewhat stuck as I use a mac and I haven't found any help regarding unrooting with a mac. Anyone have experience doing this?

Also curious if anyone can confirm how much better the loudspeaker is as Samsung has been weak there (my original HTC EVO loudspeaker always seems way stronger than Samsung handsets I've tried) but very glad to read (however have yet to actually hear) that its loudspeaker is:

http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-II-Review_id3134/page/3

"The loudspeaker here deserves special attention - it is very strong, stronger than on the original Note, and much stronger than on the Galaxy S III - but what is more, it sounds much fuller and with deeper bass than what we are accustomed to on smartphones."

Can anyone confirm this? -Thanks:cool:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCtouchuk:
Speaker definitely sounds a bit louder and clearer than original note
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMARTPHONEPC:
I read the the speaker of the original international Note1 was significantly weaker than the US AT&T variant so not sure to which you're referring to (ATM I can only guess the weaker INTL) but how would you compare it to others including the iPhone etc & are you satisfied with it or still disappointed by the Note2 "loudspeaker"?

Those who will get it on contract will pay far less than that up front but otherwise that is a good price..Did you get it here? (http://www.mobot.net/samsung-galaxy-note-2-sim-free-555-6-delivery-unlocked-mobiles-47685 )

So will US carriers only initially offer the 16GB for what $199-$299 USD? I'm pretty sure I'd pay an extra $50 for 32GB or even an extra $100 for 64GB internal storage depending on how impressive it is in person.

We should find out more details 3 weeks from tomorrow if not sooner..:rolleyes:

Are people encrypting all their micro-sdxc card data (otherwise if phone is lost-stolen the card could be removed even before owner gets a chance to lock-wipe etc hence my growing interest in more internal storage+I like to shoot-store lots of video..)?
