[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neverused:
I have an otg cable, yet none of my accessories work with it and my RAZR MAXX. My question is whether or not I need a powered hub when using the OTG cable. I have seen set ups of other android models using a SIXAXIS controller and otg cable, yet no hub. In this case, it the powered hub not needed since the controller itself is supplying its own power?

Thanks,

Download USB Device Info:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=aws.apps.usbDeviceEnumerator

When you open the app you should see 0 devices under Android and Linux tabs. Now connect just your OTG cable nothing plugged into it and hit refresh, something should show up, usually under the Linux tab that identifies the USB host. Even if the USB host doesn't supply power this will still work as I have tested it on my Touchpad which has no OTG power.

If you saw something appear when you connected the OTG cable, than OTG is in the Razr M. Now try connecting your gamepad and refresh the device list. If its not showing up then there is either something wrong with OTG or you need external power. This program will ID any USB device connected, even those which Android doesn't support since its just matching the device against a list it has. Try getting a USB keyboard/mouse working ad those are universally supported on Android and would confirm if USB host works.

Here's a dumb question. I just ordered a female USB to male micro USB. I wanted to be able to yank pics off my camera and drop them on my phone. Would I need an OTG adapter or does that plane adapter work?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
An OTG cable has a extra pin in it that is tied to ground in a OTG cable which tells the hardware to switch to OTG mode. A regular USB cable will leave this pin open.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent888:
If I'm able to peel open this adapter that I got, and jump pin 4 to 5 should it work as an OTG cable?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
Its possible, as shown here:

http://tech2.in.com/how-to/accessor...sb-otg-cable-for-an-android-smartphone/319982

For me I'd rather just buy an OTG cable, but if you have regular microUSB cables laying around, go for it.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agent888:
Bought an OTG cable

Bought a simple OTG adapter from newegg. So far....plugged in a mouse and my camera. Both work flawlessly, my camera gives me the choice of either either MTP (?) that goes straight to gallery and image import, or Storage which prompts to a new usb mount. Have not tried a gamepad yet, I have 2 floating around somewhere but not sure what game to try.

TL: DR

Camera app freezes on a black screen and is unresponsive. I have tried to load several different nandroid’s, flashed new roms, downloaded a different camera app, relocked bootloader\unrooted then unlocked\rooted again.

Long version

I have a Galaxy Nexus VZW that was in my pants pocket when someone had thrown it in the wash. I had thought it was a goner after a night in rice did not work so I went and got the Galaxy S3. Low and behold another 2 days in rice did the trick and the GNex phone booted up. The GNex was unlocked\rooted and on AOKP JB1. I did not test the camera at this point so I do not know if it was working. I wanted to give this phone to my sister and as she is not very tech savy, I wanted to bring everything back to stock. I took a stock 4.0.2 build and flashed it, unrooted and relocked the GNex then used the OTA updates to bring it up to 4.1.1. Thinking it was done, I gave it to my sister and she noted that the camera was not working. I tried several things listed in the TL: DR section and I have not found any forum posts anywhere that has help so far. So I am now making my own post to see if there are any ideas on this problem. Thanks for your time.

Hello XDA!

I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II and rooted it yesterday. Root brought it back to Gingerbread and I went to install ICS on it today following these directions.

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ics-a...amsung-galaxy-s2-international-version-i9100/

Here's where I become stupid. These directions are for the international version and I have the Sprint version (with the four capcative buttons on the bottom.) Now, no matter how I boot, I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."

A normal boot up reaches that screen, vol up + power reaches that screen, vol down + power reaches that screen. I don't see the "Galaxy S II" splash screen before that.

Did I just brick my phone? Any way out of this?? Need your help XDA!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 183.amir:
Hi guys ,

I am using a rooted stock ROM on my nexus 7 and was watching YouTube when all of a sudden movie kept playing the same frames for a while, while audio was plsying fine and then all of a sudden the tablet rebooted. After reboot all of my third party keyboards got disabled in the settings by their own. Anyway, my problem is that after reboot home button is not working! And when I swipe up also the Google now shortcut is not working ! Nothing happens.

The back and recent apps are working fine right now.

I tried rebooting again but that also didn't help!

Anyone has any ideas ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 183.amir:
Looks like the ROM is booting on kind of safe mode.

I mean when I hold the power button there is only one option and it's power off.

I tried power off and on again but that didn't help!

Also the settings shortcut in the notification menu is not working! But the display rotation toggle is working.

Developer options were disabled, unknown sources for apps were disabled!

Did any of you had this problem before?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 183.amir:

Ok.. I'm seriously losing my mind here.

I currently have the unlimited plan with T-mobile..

I'm rooted and have a rom.

I use the stock tethering program and can tether NO PROBLEM, to my Xoom,Ipad,my Roku, which I can play full HD movies streaming @ 3 gigs an hour.

I have zero problems.

Yet if I tether to my laptop or computer.. NOTHING!!!

I have both my Ipad and Xoom set to desktop mode.

Whats going on here??

I'm confused, lol

is there a way T-mobile knows this??

I was with Sprint for years and they too have unlimited and as long as I was rooted I had no problems tethering to whatever I wanted.

And here is where it gets weird.

Foxfi, won't even connect, my tablets or computer, just gives an error cannot connect.

Yellow Wifi tethering app, connects on everything, no internet.

Stock tethering, connects on everything, everything BUT laptop and comptuer connects fine.

WTF!!!

lol thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
If you are using the Google chrome browser on the offending PC, T-Mobile will block your tethering attempts via user agent string.

In short, try a different browser on your PC.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ludbosanac17:
Try seeing in your browser if a web page pops up asking you to accept something before being able to use the Wi-Fi. Kind of like Wi-Fi at airports and public places that send you to a website to click "Okay" then allows you.

If not, perhaps try a different browser like the other guy recommended.

[HTC Inspire 4G] israel.rojas:
Hi,

I installed aospX-1.0.0-MR1-DHD in my Inspire 4G phone and after a few days using it my phone crashed. Now I'm stuck in a bootloop. I got into recovery mode, performed a full wipe and installed not only 1 but other 3 diffrent ROMs and the result is the same. The aospX boot animation kicks in and nothing else happens.

When getting into recovery mode and hitting the "Info" option, I can still see the aospX-1.0.0-MR1-DHD rom as the "Current Rom" even when I already did a full wipe and installed another rom as, let's say MIUI.

Also, if I get into bootloader and hit "Factory Reset", the phone vibrates 3 times and get's stuck in the HTC White screen.

Anyone has a recommendation of how to clean this rom from my phone so I can install another one and get it to work?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
There should be no problem with that rom. Try a total complete wipe, are you using 4ext recovery. Many have given up on cmw recovery due to it is CRAP!!!

OK for full wipe enter recovery hopefully your on 4ext. If not steps should work for cmw as well.

1. Factory wipe

2. Wipe cache

3. Wipe dalvik

4. Format partitions ( except sd card)

5. Format sd card

6. Mount usb

(You should only see one folder called 4ext on your sd when usb mounted to computer)

7. Place rom of choice on root of sd card (not in any folder) and do not rename rom

8. Disconnect USB

9. Install from sd card

10. Choose zip from sd card

11. Flash rom

12. Reboot

All this is done within recovery so do not exit recovery until all steps are complete. Issue is not the rom aospx is one of the great few roms out there so it might be your doing something wrong.

[HTC Inspire 4G] israel.rojas:
Hi Reinaldo,

First of all, thanks a lot for answering to my post.

In answer to your question, yes, I do have 4ext recovery and I've follow the steps as follows:

1. Factory wipe

2. Wipe cache

3. Wipe dalvik

4. Format partitions ( except sd card)

5. Format sd card

6. Mount usb

(I do see only one folder called 4ext on my sd when usb is mounted to computer)

7. Place rom of choice on root of sd card (not in any folder) and do not rename rom

8. Disconnect USB

9. Install from sd card

10. Choose zip from sd card

11. Flash rom ( I receive a successful installation message)

12. Reboot (All of this has been done within recovery)

Here's the funny part. I hit "reboot" from recovery menu, screen turns off, then turns back on and gets into the white HTC screen and vibrates 7 times and nothing happens. So I have to do the following:

1. Remove the battery

2. Wait for 5 or more seconds

3. Place battery back

4. Press the power button.

Up to this point, screen turns back on and gets into the white HTC screen, it vibrates once and then the animation boot from aospX kicks in and gets stuck.

If I remove the battery, wait a few seconds, place it back, get into recovery and look into "info" I can still see the aospX-1.0.0-MR1-DHD rom as the "Current Rom".

Now, the problem is that if I connect the phone to my computer it doesn't read it using ADB, so I can't unroot it to get it to a stock rom either.

Have you ever seen anything like this?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
See if you can get into bootloader by powering up with volume down and power button at same time. The only thing I can think of is do like I do when I run into a rom issue like that. Get the pd98img.zip of the rooted att rom and install thru bootloader if you can by powering up holding power button and volume down button at same time and let it do its thing, it will wipe phone back to stock rooted att rom. But remember get the rooted stock rom not the official one. You will find it in dev thread if you don't let me know and I can upload it for you here. I'm at work now wont be till later in the day. Good luck

sent from an Ice Cold Inspire
[HTC Inspire 4G] israel.rojas:
OK. Here's what I did... downloaded the pre-rooted pd98img.zip from this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1396253

Followed this instructions:

1. Plug in sd card into computer.

2. Reformat the Sd Card to Fat32 – Did a full reformat not a quick

3. Once reformat was completed placed the file downloaded from the second link(stock rom) on the sd card

4. Ejected the sd card from computer and inserted it into phone

5. Power off phone by pulling the battery

6. Reinsert the battery

7. Boot into bootloader by pressing volume down and power button

8. It scanned for the file and after I pressed volume up to accept update

After following those steps the phone did this automatically:

1. Unzips the rom

2. Updates System

3. Updates Boot

4. Updates Radio_v2

5. Updates Radio_Cust

So far, no error messages of any kind. Then I received the message "Update complete press "Power to reboot"". I pressed the power button, screen turns off, then turns back on and gets into the white HTC screen and vibrates 7 times and nothing happens. So I have to do the following again:

1. Remove the battery

2. Wait for 5 or more seconds

3. Place battery back

4. Press the power button.

Up to this point, screen turns back on and gets into the white HTC screen, it vibrates once and then the animation boot from aospX kicks in and gets stuck.

...and all the same story again.. aospX-1.0.0-MR1-DHD rom still appears as the "Current Rom" installed at the 4ext recovery touch info screen.

Weird haa!. I don't understand, it would seem something from the rom got stuck in phone and it refuses to be deleted. Is there any partition to your knowledge that is not touched during the rom flashing process which may be causing this behavior?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
OK first do not format sd on computer format it on phone in recovery. People have had issues there on that. Then try again.

I've fixed a good many phones, software and hardware and have never heard of this lol. To me it sounds like something is wrong with your phone....however cm9.0 did something similar to this on my captivate. Just stayed on the cid animation...reflashed cm9.0 and it was resolved...

Factory reset 3 times and Wipe everything 3 times and reflash aospx. This may or may not resolve this issue but it is worth a shot.

Also if this doesn't resolve your issue download AAHK and use it to restore your phone to factory condition.
[HTC Inspire 4G] israel.rojas:
Hi playerjunglejosh,

I did downloaded the AAHK but I'm having problems getting the computer to recognize the phone; basically ADB says the phone is not connected. Do you know of a way to have ADB to recognize the phone while on recovery?. When I get it to boot up to the animation screen it doesn't go far enough into the booting stage to be recognized as connected to the computer.

I'm not at home right now and don't have the phone with me, so I'm going to try both recommendations listed above once I get home and let you guys know what happens.

Thanks,
[HTC Inspire 4G] playerjunglejosh:
Do you have all the proper drivers installed?

---------- Post added at 11:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ----------

Did you first try to reflash aospx? After wiping and whatever 3 times? The easiest way to get adb to recognize your device is if we can get it running again....so let's try this and then resort to other methods if need be.
[HTC Inspire 4G] playerjunglejosh:
Have you resolved the issue?
[HTC Inspire 4G] israel.rojas:
Hi,

Sorry about the late response, I had crazy weekend.

Ok, so I was able to find the USB Drivers and re-install them and now I'm able to see the device using ADB. So I thought to cut through the chase and flash the Stock HTC Rom using AAHK and start all over again.

I did flashed the PD98IMG using AAHK, no error messages at all, so I thought everything when ok, and when the system asked me to reboot I did, and BANG!, same error.

Screen turns off, then turns back on and gets into the white HTC screen and vibrates 7 times and nothing happens.

If I remove the battery and turn it back on it gets into the white HTC screen, it vibrates once and then the animation boot from aospX kicks in and gets stuck.

If I remove the battery, wait a few seconds, place it back, get into recovery and look into "info" I can still see the aospX-1.0.0-MR1-DHD rom as the "Current Rom".

I feel like this phone is laughing at me. How can it be possible that I wipe it out using so many different methods and without getting any error message and the program is still there?

Any of you guys have a recommendation of how to debug the phone so I can identify what is happening with the booting process?
[HTC Inspire 4G] playerjunglejosh:
Did you somehow make it where you don't have read/write permissions? Also did you try reflashing aospx?
[HTC Inspire 4G] israel.rojas:
Yeah, I did tried re-flashing the aospX software and didn't work. Also did some reading and run a ADB logcat, this is what it retrieved...

What I still fail to understand is that the system partition was formatted, several times and other ROMs were installed; as a matter of fact by the time I ran the logcat the phone was suppose to have the Stock ROM installed, so why it runs /system.... and still find the aospX rom?
[HTC Inspire 4G] playerjunglejosh:
To me it looks like your device doesn't have write permissions. It would explain why the formatting, wiping, and installing a rom won't stay. Let me ask someone on your behalf, and maybe he can shed some light on this.
