[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacomoman:
I've got a Razr Maxx HD (Verizon 4G). I've noticed that its gallery app does not show any picasa content. I was told that this is Verizon's doing and that they blocked picasa content. I also read in one of the forums that there's a "fix" of some sort to get the gallery app to show Picasa albums/pics like it was originally supposed to. Of course, it needs root. So I've rooted my phone with no issues. All I need to know now is what this "fix" is. Does anyone have any clue as to the steps to do this fix? I posed a reply on the forum where I saw the mention of the fix, but they're not replying back.

Any info would be very appreciated.

[Android Themes] resslx:
I'm interested in creating a very specific interaction for rather complicated reasons I will not fully go into. Basically, I'm looking for a way to change my device's Live Wallpaper when receiving NFC input, modified by the Tasker app. Tasker can manipulate the input to trigger a variety of actions, but I'm still unable to grasp a way to use it to change my system's Live wallpaper.

I'm currently using a Galaxy Nexus with Cyanogenmod 10, but I'm willing to run another ROM if it makes this possible. There is currently no app I am aware of that can change the Live Wallpaper from any triggered event or button.

I suspect I might be able to create a variety of themes with different Live Wallpapers, load them into Cyanogenmod's theme chooser, and tell Tasker to run their APK, but I have no experience building/editing theme files, and I'm wondering if there is a simpler way to accomplish this before I attempt to learn how to.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] takerhbk:
I have galaxy tab 2 10.1 purchased 3 months back.

Yesterday night i put it on charge before sleeping.

In the night is started beeping, I woke up to see that it was not charging and battery was below 5%.

The dailog box showed "plug into power source and close running apps for efficient charging".

But then it disappeared for a second and reappeared next second.

The tab was charging for 2 seconds and getting disconnected with charger second second.

It was stuck in this. Since it was late i disconnected the charger. switched off tab and slept.

I woke up tried every socked in my home and but same thing is happening.

Even tried charging switched off. But still the charging battery screen come up for a second and then goes off again.

What to do no battery left.:( :confused:

Im stuck. I bought when i was in UK, but now im in india and not sure that it carries international warranty.

The whole point is greyed out and when I go into the settings in the Wi-Fi, he veruscht to activate all the time. Is this a known bug? Is that still the case with several? Is there a workaround? Previously, I had the cm-9-20121014-NIGHTLY-haida because everything worked.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Orphelia:
did you flashed new kernel. did you wiped cache and dalvik cache?

in your thread is no question. its not quite good to open new threads like this - furthermore you could have found the answer in CM9.1 thread..youst to mention..;)

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
Am I able to extract and restore certain parts of a back up that I have?

I've been having a few problems on ViperXL 2.1.2 flashing Beastmode v4 kernel. I was able to flash ElementalX v1.2 on ViperXL 2.1.2 and made a back up of that. Just to see if I was having an issue with flashing over the kernel, i flashed the KingCobra ROM, then flashed the Beastmode v4 just fine. I would like to have Beastmode v4 while running ViperXL 2.1.2.

Curious if I should fully restore my back up and make a logcat dump of when the kernel tries to flash over just for more info on what's happening.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] DvineLord:
some say you can fastboot the twrp backup of the kernel so just rename it to boot.img. so you could try doing that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Myrder:
Hmm... I'll give it ago, worst thing it would do is fail.

Edit: Interesting... I flashed the Beastmode v4 kernel over when I was on the KingCobra ROM. I figured I would go ahead and try the above post... Well, I don't have too. Apparently when you restore, it doesn't restore your kernel. I am now running ViperXL 2.1.2 with Beastmode v4. :D I IS HAPPY.

I am not responsible for your bricked phone/SD. If blame me I will laugh at you.

You should know by now the disclaimer and blah blahs!

I have looked EVERYWHERE (google and fastboot is your friend) for these and tested multiple times

different modules and found the ones that work. They only program -should- be needed as it is the only

one I use is a program that is free on the Google Play Store is Paragan NTFS&HFS+ Program. *Root of course*

I have tested this on my phone itself and I am using my external mouse,

keyboard and external drive as we speak!

My personal set-up is a Targus PAEPRO090 so called "docking station" that has

5 USB HiSpeed Ports

LAN Adapter

Printer Port

Serial Port

3.5 mm Audio Jack (although I have yet to get it to work)

What this does

INSTALLS:

FUSE driver (Full NTFS Read Write support for ARM devices)

isofs (To allow mounting ISO and image files)

nls_utf8 (for mounting a CIFS windows share and allows extra features)

NTFS modules (to allow android to mount NTFS)

and a module that allows for NTFS USB mounting

Version 2 has Ethernet Drivers AND my OTG drivers all in one.

Thanks for sharing this!

One question: Can you actually take a regular USB OTG cable (with micro USB on one side and a female 'regular' USB A connector on the other side) like this:

And use it to connect e.g. a USB flash drive to your phone?

Because AFAIK the Droid 4 USB port doesn't provide power output, I once tested it with mine with a special splitted USB cable that get's the power elsewhere, which worked, but not with a regular USB OTG cable.

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] je2854:
You need a cable that is split and provides power externally.
[Motorola Droid 4] dbreezy187:
I took the otg cable as shown striped a portion of the plastic back, took a standard charger (5.1v 850 mA) spliced in the red and black works fine with keyboard, mouse and flash drive(for me and my generic three). A powered USB hub works also just phone wont charge with the powered USB hub i have...

...would love to know how to get a dock type reaction when plugged into a powered otg cable without a third party app on a stock d4... ima take my dock apart see how they have it wired...
[Motorola Droid 4] je2854:
I believe it uses the 5th (pin 4) USB wire that "normally" isnt't used. But when you make the OTG Cable that requires external power make sure you connect up the power to the part you hook your external device and not the side you hook up to your phone... Get what im trying to say? lol

NORMAL

Pin 1: VCC

Pin 2: data-

[Motorola Droid 4] dbreezy187:
Yes this i understand i have made several otg cables for friends with quick connect power supply for use with a hub.. but a few would like a dock made rather then pay the 90$ i figured i could make one. When plugged into either of the two docks your prompted with a choice for a dock type office, bedside, charge only.. this is what I wish to achieve without any app installed or root as some of my moto friends don't wish to root... I can put a dock together for about 25$ with USB hub, hdmi and audio jack just no reaction from phone when plugged in... would even settle for landscape on home screen when plugged in...thank you kindly for any info... haven't yet had the time to take my two apart...
[Motorola Droid 4] Rick#2:
I'm pretty sure the dock is detected by those 4 pins on the bottom right of the battery on the phone; a magnet is placed inside the dock in a spot that would line up with the phone's sensors.

II've never tried to do this but I'm sure it wouldn't be very difficult.
[Motorola Droid 4] dbreezy187:
Ok... so i took a look at the inside of the standard HD dock (no USB hub) it appears that a resistor on pin 4 prior to the ground triggers the dock mode... I was interrupted during the "examination" of the guts so the size of the resistance is not know yet and it appears pins 2, 3, and 5 are split off into the audio jack more details yet to come...
[Motorola Droid 4] Peeet:
Actually I think those 4 pins are for the inductive charging battery cover option.

Cable needed

Can anyone point me to an exact place I can buy a cable? I'd prefer one that I can plug into a usb charger on one end, then my phone/usb otg device on the others. I'd appreciate it. I see so many places that say use this cable, then someone says no it doesn't work.

[Motorola Droid 4] lousou76:
Ok guys I want to share a guid with you on the same subject.

You can find all these modules, programs and instructions HERE.

I have tested the above and are working fine.

I was not able to make the wireless keyboard work though.

They say that you don't need a module for that but as far as I can see the wireless keyboard does not work on my phone.

It did work fine when I had the 2.3.4 with the older usb-hid and usb-keyb modules.

I use these on an Xperia Neon V with ultimate HD v.2.0 ROM and kernel .587

Can anyone test if wireless keyboards work on this setup and confirm?

Mouse works fine. Usb Storage as well.

As for the cable I ordered this one

It has a micro usb female port where you can suppry power using a standard USB charger cable.

[Motorola Droid 4] je2854:
the only thing you should do it flash the zip...

everything goes to its proper folder in the OS
[Motorola Droid 4] Mr Wolf:
Many thanks!

Another dumb question: what I flash it with? RSD Lite o Flash recovery? :cyclops:
[Motorola Droid 4] je2854:
custom recovery = CWM or TWRP
[Motorola Droid 4] Mr Wolf:
Ok... I installed GooManager, selected "Flash ROMs", selected the zip files, then "Order & flash selected", it reboots, and... it enters the phone's stock recovery! WTF?!

I also tried with Rom Manager: it reboots and doesn't start anything at all!
[Motorola Droid 4] je2854:
Do NOT use ROM Manager or GooManager.

You should use the boot hijack program. I use to have it but I no longer have a need for it add I'm using a different phone now.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mr Wolf:
Ok, I'll be dumb, but here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2165649

The fastest and easiest way to install TWRP is to use the GooManager app

Ok... done! It works! Many thanks!

Can I suggest you to add to your first post you need to use Safestrap to flash the patch?

Any chance to mount FAT32 formatted devices? Usually, pen drives are fortmatted FAT-FAT32.
[Motorola Droid 4] je2854:
I have used Fat16, FAT32 and I believe I had NTFS working at the time of me having the device.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mr Wolf:
Ok, but you need another module to use FAT32, right? Sorry you haven't the phone anymore.
[Motorola Droid 4] je2854:
As previously stated....

all formats were working when I had the Maserati.

I had a flash drive that used FAT32

a 750GB EXT HD that used NTFS

a mouse/keyboard/Moniter all being

connected at once.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mr Wolf:
Yep, I got that and I'm glad to hear that. :cowboy:

Ok, Paragon doesn't actually mount FAT32 formatted devices.

I tried this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.shajul.usbotg

and it can mount NTFS and FAT32, even if it freezes when I click "unmount", have to kill the program and open it again to unmount.

So I'm wondering if anybody else's had an Xperia TL and what they think it is compared to the 1x I am kind of disappointed for the 1x because of the storage issue as well as the camera. Any thoughts?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] fredy915:
The one x + plus is so to be released as far as I know of and its a quad core with 64gig and bigger battery just from what I have read
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] filthyfnj24:
I was looking into the tl just because I have a soft spot for Sony and love the design but every review I have read says the battery life is sub par at best. I'd say pass.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Engadget review:

the Xperia TL reads as a pale alternative to its S4 cousin, the One X. That's not to say it isn't a decent option for subscribers shopping on a shoestring -- it is. Yet, for all its pluses, the TL just can't hold a candle to the superior battery life and gorgeous Super LCD display on HTC's equally priced device.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/sony-xperia-tl-review-android/

But like a previous response, I'd think about holding out for the One X+.

And I believe developer activity on Sony phones is usually somewhat low? Is Sony still locking bootloaders?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
What exactly about the camera is a disappointment?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] johnbyebye:
For me personally, it's the lack of auto-focus assistance that bugs me. I can't get the camera to focus at all in low light because of it. IIRC, the Xperia line included this feature. The Samsung S2/S3 line definitely have it.
