Targus have just released the new driver for this keyboard making it compatible with XDA II! I had bought it a few weeks ago but was disappointed that it was NOT universal at all! :(

However, the new driver works fine - very pleased. Fine device - great price. :P

Below is the note from Targus. My compliments to their Customer Support tekkie Jose M (whose name I've shortened for his privacy). He was knowledgeable, honest about the difficulties, courteous and efficient. Credit where credit is due! :D

Conor

Thank you for your patience while we contacted the appropriate department regarding the tests for the PA870.

Please know that the XDAII has been added to the web as compatible.

Please download and install the very latest drivers Version 1.31 from the web at:

http://www.targus.com/us/product_details.asp?sku=PA870U

Please uninstall the old drivers before installing the new ones.

Let me know if you have any questions or need further assistance.

Best regards,

Hi folks, I'm working on bringing Carbon to the Skyrocket, but we're having a hell of a time getting the camera to work. Can't figure out why.

If anyone with a decent knowledge level would be willing to assist, please, let me know. I've tried just about everything I can think of, but I'm really no familiar with the ins and outs of this device like I am with the SGS3. It's the last thing keeping me from releasing an official/nightlies for skyrocket.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm brazilian and a guy in a brazilian i9070 facebook group claimed that his brand new Galaxy Sii Lite (it's the brazilian name for Galaxy S advance) already came with JB 4.1.2 installed with TIM carrier bloatware and etc, the kernel version is supposed to be I9070VJLPA....Could this be true? SamMobile didn't show anything about it.....

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raymuy:
Hello everyone!

Two days ago I ordered the nexus 4 from Google play store

Everything went smooth and the device was on pending state.

Today I received a message from Google that my order was canceled

I don't know what the reason is but Google sent me this reasons

Details provided for your credit card do not match those on-file with your financial institution.

The address information provided was incomplete and could not be verified.

To block an attempt to purchase more than the maximum allowable devices.

please help!! :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Have you called them first off to find out what happened? All I can think of is that you goofed up your billing address for the credit card or maybe Google rejected it if the shipping address used and the billing address of the credit card are different. All the shipping addresses I use along with my credit cards are in Google wallet so they know I use different shipping addresses from that of my billing address and they are approved.

Should also make note that Google won't ship to an address outside of the location of the play store used. So for instance they would cancel your order if you placed it at the US store and put in a delivery address in Germany.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] username8611:
Is this your first one? It sounds like they think you are buying too many at once, but it also sounds like they think you are using a fraudulent credit card.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raymuy:
Some details:

In the settings tab I filled the US friend details (including the *name* and the address)

In the payment methods tap I filled *my* name and my credit card details US address and US phone

Maybe Google canceled the order because the unmatched names? :confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
They probably canceled it because you are using your friends name and address and it doesn't match the billing name and address of the credit card. Which is a huge red flag for fraud and most company's should deny an order placed this way as it looks like a stolen credit card. Your credit card company could also have denied the charge for the exact same reason. To your credit card company it would look like your friend was using your card and if he's not an authorized user, his name has to be in their records, then they will deny the charge.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raymuy:
Ok I think I got it!

All I need to do is to match the names in the settings and in the payment methods?

It would not cause any problems in the shipping info?

I am very thankful for your help!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
If you use your name and his address as the shipping address it should work. If not then you could add his address into Google Wallet as a valid shipping address, if you have access to Google Wallet that is where you live. Some companies will only ship to addresses that you have registered with them if it is different from your billing address.

In my case this didn't apply, because i ordered mine to a friends house with my credit card and everything went good and I got my Nexus 4 without problems. I could have been something else

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadows101Fall:
I got the phone brand spanking new last week, left it to charge fully like you're supposed to before I started using it and I don't get anything more than 7 hours out of the battery.

Doesn't matter if I'm on the phone or not it discharges at the same rate. After a lot of research (this is my first decent android phone) I've narrowed it down to kernel wakelocks.

This means the phone never enters deep sleep. The wakelocks are, or at least I think the two biggest ones that are eating up my battery are "suspend_backoff" and "l2_hsic".

Because the suspend one ate three quarters of my battery life no matter what I do I researched it first, what I found wasn't an answer only more questions.

I found that commonly Chrome causes this wakelock but I do not have any apps installed on the phone, I've formatted it a million times to no avail. I updated to JB, tried other kernels, nothing. Nothing.

I am on the verge of putting the phone under my car's one rear wheel and to spin over it so that no one has to ever be so frustrated as I am now ever again.

I am desperate for any help because I really want to enjoy this phone.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
Try a custom debloated rom like NeatRom Lite and see if this persists.

Also check out this battery saving guide.

Also, install Betterbatterystats apps and report with a log to the BBS thread. They could help you find out what's draining your battery.

I still don't see how it could glitch like this because it's new with nothing funny done with it. I guess I got the one in the million.

Problem description

trying to get the phone to update from 4.0.4 to 4.2.x, [Phone has 'ClockWorkMod recovery v6.0.0.5' and I believe is rooted]

first tried via OTA automatic update, but at bootloader it says something like 'failed signature verification, aborted'

I then downloaded 'cm-10.1-20130411-EXPERIMENTAL-maguro-M3' placed it in a folder, but it won't install at bootloader, says 'something ~~, aborted' again

Some thread mentioned need to install a kernel, so I installed 'franco Kernel r374', in recovery mode ['install from zip' etc]

then the phone won't start, gets stuck at white Google logo and open lock screen

I managed to get ADB and get it show up with 'adb devices', (but phone won't show on file explorer)

Tried 'adb push ***.zip' [I think it was a different CWM zip file], screen says 'failed to copy ***, to /sdcard: read only file system'

I went into recovery mode, tried "mounts and storage, mount /sdcard"

It would not mount, screen flashes briefly, but mount status stay the same

Then tried 'format /sdcard', it seemed to have done that

ADB still won't push anything into the phone, and recovery mode takes about 5 seconds to go into the blue menu screen, whereas before it was immediate

Now the phone is still stuck at logo screen and can't copy anything from ADB to /sdcard, but adb is able to push file into /data/media, but 'install zip from folder' thingy won't find /data/media folder

Please help, sorry if posting new thread is wrong, my first post

many thanks to everyone who provided help, finally i managed to flash the kernel and 4.2.2 across and the thing works now

Well, if you tried it and it don't work, then it don't work.

Don't expect it to actually change your build.prop though. Also, make sure to set permissions.

[HTC One S] justaway2:
Why would it work for other CM ROMs but not this one? It's not meant to change the build.prop, it's meant to override the default system variables whether they exist in build.prop or not. For example, if you add some new variables into build.prop and then flash a CM update, you'll lose everything you added.

Also, permissions are correct.

[HTC One S] Darknites:
It won't do that because I changed that in my rom and it don't do that and to do it right when changing that setting you need to do it like this.

debug.composition.type=gpu

Both gpu was dyn.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cnewsgrp:
I have found a solution that works for me - See below

Issue

:

Starting with JB (4.2.X) , I noticed that my picasa web albums no longer show up in Gallery App. when I am on AOSP or CM based Roms. They do show up on Touchwiz based ROM (for e.g. Mohan)

Root Caus

e: After research I found that the root cause is CM team. They have made a decision that Picasa sync is proprietary and will not be supported CM10.X onwards. See Link

Alternatives

:

Option 1 (Fail for me)

: Picasa Web albums show up in Google Photos. Install Google Plus and then "Sync Google Photos" will show up under Google account and that

should

get Picasa Web albums to display.

- For me that does not work. I don't know why but it just does not. I installed Google Plus. Photos did show up under account and sync was successful, but Gallery app did not show them. I tried changing Album visibility to public, I did a clear data and force stop of Gallery under apps - without any luck.

Option2 (Success)

: I downloaded Cool 3D Gallery app from PlayStore. It works!!!
