Maybe you're doing something that kills the pixels.

For example, are you undergoing a dry or wet?
[Motorola Atrix 2] toastthemost:
Like, as in seasons? No, it's pretty temperate and average here, with normal precipitation, so I doubt it's humidity. Also, I have a otter box around it, and a screen protector, so even if something were to be spilled (I'm very safe with my phone, though), it wouldn't get in.

A few more pixels died today, so now it looks like a 2x10 pixel block with a small branch or two.

[Motorola Atrix 2] toastthemost:
I do apologize for all of my stupid questions. This is my first Android phone, and I am not used to XDA's structure compared to other message boards I have been a contributor of. So I apologize that I am not carrying my own weight yet, but I hope to get more used to this place and Android development so I can help others.

This is going to sound more stupid, but the dead pixels disappeared. I consulted other people who confirmed that they were dead pixels, but I guess the issue resolved itself? A magnifying glass could have confirmed the dead pixels, but I'm not sure why this was just a temporary issue. Just adding this for reference, in case somebody else gets scared, to wait a week or two, and the issue might resolve itself.

Thanks for the help.

If you're referring to the mobile app signature in the bold text under my comment, that was in no way intended to be taken personally or seriously, but more for a joke geared for someone else (a moderator) who's not even in these forums. So, don't sweat the small stuff around here, and please don't feel I was trying to be insulting. My apologies to you if you found it as such.

I'm glad you seem to have things worked out, and hopefully this issue with the pixels won't happen again. I can imagine the frustration, so it's a good thing that this just cleared up all on its own - literally- and there wasn't a need to worry over having to replace hardware elements...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScreaminSteve:
Hello all...yes, I am a noob! I recently discovered the joys of rooting my Evo4g...talk about breating new life into outdated technology! Anyway I have been flashing roms for about the past month (drives the wife nuts, always tinkering with my EVO!!) and I have learned how great theming can be - I love the look of ICS and JB but I prefer to not sacrifice the built in features (4G, FFC...etc) that have not been developed for the newer systems. I finally settled on DroidGTR-Turbo (wonderful rom for GB, btw!) and got all my apps reinstalled and convinced myself that the time had come to finally just enjoy my EVO instead of playing with it when...(GASP!)...Microsoft released XBox SmartGlass for Android!!! I had been waiting with eager anticipation for weeks since I heard about it so I went to download it and (GASP! again) "For Android 4.0 or higher"!!! I googled for ways to get it to work, wiped phone and installed on a ICS rom to get the apk reinstalled GB and even found a hacked apk file but I got a parsing error when I tried to install both. So now I am running MazWoz-EVO JB rom (LOVELOVELOVE it btw! Great Job) and as an added surprise I now have shutdown animation, which I never considered before. Here is my issue (after that long winded yet hopefully entertaining introduction to meself!) - and it is in no means a "deal breaker" issue - the shutdown animation uses the bootanimation.zip and I would like to know what file to edit to use a different zip for shutdown than for startup - if that is even possible at this stage in developement. Also, it seems after about two weeks of googling and researching that bootsounds in ICS and JB are not possible at this point. Is this indeed the case or did I miss something somewhere? And of course what would make both of those (very minor) issues completely null and void to me - has anyone found a way to get SmartGlass to install and run on GB?

Thanks for your time!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Not sure where it is on Rom your running. But using WinZip, or 7-Zip you can check to see if it's in Data - Local. It will be named downanimation.zip .

Only since this morning, this program has been asking for root. Is this legit, if so what is it or does it control
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
It's legit the new SuperSU app will show a process called mksh trying to access root. Just grant permission and then open the SuperSU app, click "mksh" and select "disabled" where it says "Notifications". mksh is being called by the framework whenever WiFi is enabled and is not malware.

Or just never S-OFF. I never did, and have been doing great with ROMs and kernels.

Also, to the OP, just do it yourself. It's a valuable lesson in not wasting money, and you learn something new.
[HTC Rezound] Obaterista93:
Chad himself is even very against s-offing. Fastboot doesn't really take that long, but I do most of my flashing away from the computer. To each their own I suppose. (I'm s-off btw)
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
Agreed with everyone man.. Im by no means dev, or even a themer just a user but just simply reading and chatting with people on the forums being polite will get you along way.. if there's anything your wanting to learn I'm always available to simply chat to, like I said I'm no one special but I know the simple things, flashing, fastboot commands, I can even walk you thru simply rooting or going the whole nine yards with the s-off thing.. I do promis you tho in the end any thing you learn will be useful in the future.. you'll always wanna flash a new Rom, or kernel, or even a new mod for sense 4.x you like.. but, YOU will wanna be the one to do it not send it in again, or something silly like that.. my gtalk famoustarsandstraps1@gmail.com. But my advice is always read, search and read some more.. and if you still can't find what your looking for ask a questio:). Good luck bro.
[HTC Rezound] RKight:
I was unsuccessful with getting S-Off on my phone (about 120-ish attempts) so I just use an app called HTC dumlock. It works by copying my recovery to my boot partition and booting to that. It allows me to flash kernels as if I had S-Off. The only disadvantage is that it's an app and does require a working ROM so a borked flash means I have to fall back to fastboot.
[HTC Rezound] tmach:
First, for them to root your phone remotely you'd have to give them remote access to your pc. No way I'd trust these clowns with that.

Second, rooting the phone is easy, all you really need to do is get your unlock code from HTC and follow the instructions here on XDA. It's really easy and there are a lot of people here who will help if you need it. The only really tricky thing is s-off, and they can't help you with that remotely since it requires access to your phone.

Now, if you're new to rooting you probably shouldn't go s-off just yet anyway, but that's another topic altogether. Regardless, if these guys root your phone you'll be s-on. The extra steps for s-on flashing aren't difficult, but unless you want to pay them to flash every rom you try you need to learn how to do it yourself. I don't know about everyone else, but I go through phases where I'll change roms several times a week or even daily just to try stuff out.

Third, these halfcab guys are selling other people's roms. Under terms of open source that isn't illegal, but that doesn't make it right. You can download them for free and if anyone deserves money for a rom its the dev who worked on it. They'll take donations! (I think I even saw where halfcab was selling unlock codes. HTC would probably take issue with that.)

Fourth, they're selling WiFi tether. Again, it's free to download. Most ROMS come with it anyway.

So short answer to the OP is no, it isn't legit. It's a ripoff and could leave you with major headaches if you don't learn how to do this stuff yourself anyway. It certainly won't be as convenient as it may sound.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:

[HTC Rezound] WookieFan:
Please don't support someone who sells someone else's work as their own. There may be no law against it, but that doesn't make it right.

And no, rooting / s-offing your phone isn't easy the first time, but you can do it if you read and then ask questions like everyone else has said.

If you're that interested in rooting, you'll be glad you learned to do it yourself.
[HTC Rezound] zkrp5108:
Don't pay people to do it, you'll be calling them weekly on how to fix stuff. You need to know how to look at an issue solve it and perform the steps necessary to keeping the device going smoothly. If you don't learn the terminology and what each thing does you will be lost forever. I did it for my brother and I get calls all them time How do i do this? its terrible. If your not willing to put some time into it then like they said buy an Iphone. Once you learn though its exciting and fun and its a community everyone here wants more people to learn it makes the platform great.

Hi there,

Whats the deal with Google not fixing/improving the current Gallery? Right now i have installed a new SD card for dedicated camera storage for ease of transferring to/from my computer.

But upon copy my DCIM/Camera folder over, the gallery now decides to sort my media by grouping the entire Video selection at the front of my gallery in the correct date order, followed by all my photos in the correct date order? Why aren't they mixed together in date order and instead grouped in the "media type", and does anybody know a fix?

I have tried to check the filenames and they are fine. When I open the camera directory on my computer, the files appear fine and all in the correct date/filename sorting.

My device in a GS3 running stock rom, have asked in there but figured its more of a general Android/JB problem and here would have more chance of a helping hand.

Thanks!

How do you actually mount the otg usb drive ?

When I look in Mount in Recovery, there is no area to actually do this ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Actually, its the "Use external SD" toggle in TWRP in any of the Mount/Backup/Restore/Install menus. Kind of confusing terminology, for sure - but it works.

I tried it with a thumb drive formatted as fat32, ext3, and NTFS. TWRP mounted them all, but NTFS only mounts read-only. (I couldn't remount it in rw mode using TWRP's command-line facility)

If you need to check to see if it's mounted, use

cat /proc/mounts

from the TWRP command-line facility (Advanced->Terminal Command).

It should be mounted at the /usb-otg directory.

good luck
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screenoff:
Thank you for assisting.

I know that it is just a "navigation" problem that I have because I can see the led on the usb stick light up, so it is definitely alive in TWRP.

I just think that I am reading something wrong and not giving the correct commands to reach the usb.

This is what I did, perhaps you can steer me in the right direction.

Firstly, do I reboot in recovery mode with the usb-otg attached or do I first go into recovery mode and only then plug the usb-otg in ?

I have Named the usb memory stick ext-otg, is that correct or does it not matter ?

I then entered Terminal Mode in Recovery and chose "Select" and then typed in usb-otg, is that correct or do I need to type this /usb-otg ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
In my tests yesterday, the only thing I needed to do was to touch the "Use external SD" radio button; I didn't need to do anything else (note I was using TWRP 2.4.1.0, so ymmv). Also, TWRP seems to remember your settings (dunno where, perhaps in /data/media/0/TWRP/.twrps file?), so if you were to leave this setting this way I presume it would automount the drive as soon as it was plugged in for future sessions of TWRP.**

I don't know if it matters. In all my tests yesterday I only plugged in after TWRP was fully booted. I surmise that it would work either way.

I presume you are talking about a Windows volume label - no, that should not matter one bit.

Neither. You should be able to get the device to mount and dismount by using the onscreen touch controls of TWRP alone. (But see ** below). A person familiar with Unix/Linux administration can use that terminal command interface to do all sorts of things, but I can tell from your question that you are not there yet in command-line skills. However, I did give you precise instructions in my prior post on how to give a command in that interface to check if the device is mounted, namely

cat /proc/mounts

If the device is mounted you will see a line of output that starts with "/usb-otg"

good luck

** The TWRP touch UI presentation of the controls and current mount state of the USB OTG device leaves a bit to be desired (at least in v2.4.1.0, anyway). Anyplace you see "external SD" you should interpret as "USB-OTG drive". Also, note that the Mount menu toggle does in fact work correctly for mounting and dismounting, so long as you have the "Use external SD" radio button selected. To make matters worse, though, there seems to be a bug - when you use that mounting toggle control, it will indeed either mount or unmount the device - but the "X" check mark display may not correctly show the current mount status. That is why I suggested using the "cat /proc/mounts" command to check the mount status to be sure of the mount state.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] screenoff:
There is no "USE external SD" radio button showing at all.

I also did notice if I rebooted into Bootloader with the USB OTG plugged in, it basically froze and said to remove USB.

Once I had removed the USB OTG cable, then I was able to carry on and boot into recovery.

I have 2 different USB-OTG connections, the one is not Powered and the other is Powered.

Both of these work without any problem when I am booted into the Phone, I can access the USB drive without any problems.

But, if I try to reboot with the Powered one into bootloader, it freezes until I unplug it, in fact, it recognizes it and prompts you to unplug it.

The Non Powered cable does not freeze when I reboot into bootloader.

I cannot understand this, I have full Root, I must be missing something ?

But thank you for your time, I really appreciate it.
