[G2 and Desire Z General] Photopuppet:
A quick note to give [MENTION=4546555]XCT[/MENTION] my greatest thanks for this procedure. It worked extremely successfully! The keyboard is actually more sensitive now than when it was new!

Here are some notes:

1) I found using sharp safety pin was best for releasing the keyboard surround without causing any cosmetic damage, and then lifting up with knife edge

2) I used some electrical contact cleaner/de-oxydiser with cotton bud to clean all the contact pads underneath and also the electrical pads on PCB.

3) The flexible tab in photo 6 doesn't affect the keyboard light at all. Be very careful to align the different layers when re-assembling keyboard otherwise the key illumination won't be completely correct.

4) When pressing the underside contacts (the ones that touch PCB), just give a quick but firm press on the centre of each with your sharp knife tip. I found doing this on flexible magazine was best!
[G2 and Desire Z General] XCT:
you're welcome! :D

the flexible tab seems to have all the keys connected and i think it has ground (negative polarity) on it to help on key press,

like the situation when that metal touchs only the centre flex contact.

Thank you [MENTION=436062]xtc[/MENTION], thank you, thank you!

My keyboard is fine now :D
[G2 and Desire Z General] Pea.:
Thank you XCT.

I was searching the internet for a new keyboard, but your guide fixed it alright. It's not as responsive as a new one, but it works way better than before.
[G2 and Desire Z General] XCT:
I'm glad i did help you :D

Try to take that metal part from another old phone. I've been in the same situation like you and i was thinking to switch that metal part from another key that i haven't been using, like sym or menu or search key (that is an option too if you really don't have another phone around) but i took it from a htc vox and it happend to be the same shape and feel.

Never settle for less.
[G2 and Desire Z General] arunal_123:
Thanks for the lovely guide.

Mine (a e k) were not working properly. Especially key k needed to be pressed twice. And e and a used to get double by itself. But now with this guide, i have repaired them.

Thanks... Even writing this post with my DZ keyboard. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] strawmetal:
Thankyou for the wonderful guide.
[G2 and Desire Z General] daimyorl:
Thank you very much!

I also have problems with the letter e and started using less and less the physical keyboard.

Now it's working perfectly :good:

$74 for a 3000mAh power pack?

Buy your own for much less, and stick it in any old backpack.

I use a power pack with four 3400mAh cells in it, giving a total of 13600mAh, $45 from Fasttech.
[One (M7) Accessories] Rirere:
Clearly you didn't click the link at bottom of OP post (too late now anyway). It was being sold on Vau.lt for $39 (which puts it within somewhat competitive territory), and if you used Android Police's referral, you got a $25 credit, bringing the cost down to $14, with no shipping and handling. I snagged one just for the heck of it.
[One (M7) Accessories] Pantaloonie:
Indeed I didn't.

That sounds like a pretty good deal for what you get.
[One (M7) Accessories] Nippero:
Even with the low cost, I dont see the benefit of buying this over an actual portable battery pack? o_O

My Astro Slim 2 is 4500mAh, cost $29, has a built in cable, and can slip into even my skinny jeans (Levi's, for reference) with my phone at the same time.

Or I can just throw it in my bag with my phone.

Plus that bag is hideous...

Just my opinion.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] charly-whiskey:
Hi,

I use an iBolt xPro dock in my car, and want to listen to the audio through the dock - that works perfect. But also I use a Plantronics headset for phonecalls (in and outside the car), but when I remove my S3 from the dock I also listen to A2DP-music via the plantronics. And here is my problem:

Is there a way to automatically switch in bluetooth settings only the A2DP-mode off when I dock my S3 to the iBolt, and switch it on again when I remove it? It needs always several steps to switch it manually. Any ideas?

Thnx

Hi, I'm planning buy a XSP. I found on the internet a few battery test but no with gaming on mobile. I read from one person that gaming on this phone draining battery very quickly. Is it right? Can someone post you experience? For example if you play Real Racing 3 or some other high usage game for an one hour, how much it drain battery? Thanks

battery drain is high during game play
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolaisugly:
Device does/will get hot while playing after 10-15 minds hence battery drain.....

The device getting hot is OK if you are needing a hand warmer on a cold day.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xeryon77:
Thanks :). and about hot... I have now LG Optimus 4X HD and I think that this phone from LG is hotter in gaming and others
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrUsta:
Yes the phone gets warm when gaming, but not excessive (like my old SGS2).

Battery goes down faster when gaming, but I wouldn't call it a drain. This is usual for all phones.

What I really value with SP here are 2 things:

1) it plays heavy graphical games very smoothly and

2) in standby stamina mode the phone almost doesn't use battery power.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hussamite:
Hi everybody :) ,

I have a rooted Desire HD with Jelly Time R10 and it was working like charm.

Yesterday the phone rebooted by itself and got stuck at the boot animation

I tried to wipe cache + dalvik and I was able to pass the boot animation and then got stuck again while loading application.

I pulled out the battery then started the phone but it WONT boot. It vibrates 3 times with orange flash and when trying to boot into bootloader it vibrates 5 times with a solid green led

Then I used ADB and I was able to access the recovery but not the bootloader or the system, if I used adb reboot I get the same issue.

I performed a full wipe then restored a backup nothing changed.

Any ideas please ? Is it the bootloader causing this problem ? :(

What can I do to fix this?

I'm pretty sure you can at least try to get the RUU to recognise the phone, as adb recognized it, so it should be able to kick it into fastboot mode

If your XDA detects other SD cards then nothing is wrong with your SD slot.

Did you try the WIFI card in another XDA/PDA? May it is dead!

Other wise did you try a hard resetting your XDA?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] puunda:
I bought a Chinese DVD GPS head unit for my car running Windows CE 6.0. The unit has every feature under the sun and works remarkably well, much better than I had thought it would.

There are 2 main things which annoys me. The first is the media player playing music (SD or USB). There is no random/shuffle function, and when you have thousands of songs and it takes 2 - 3 seconds to skip to the next one, it gets annoying really quick! The second is also related to the media player. It plays a very limited number of video formats (avi, 3gp).

I figure the easiest way is to replace the media player with a better one (which I'm sure exists for CE 6).

So my question is can this be done? If so where do I start? How can I access CE operating system/firmware on the unit? It has a USB port, but that acts as a host so you can plug flash drives and dongles into it.

Has anyone played with these types of devices?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
AFAIK there is no third party player especially written for CE 6.0 around. All players written for CE are years old, i.e. outdated. I'm pretty sure your AIO doesn't use a rudimentary CE-player.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2106270
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] puunda:
I'm a bit confused. The unit runs CE 6.0 for the GPS and IE. I've updated the gps software on it to run a different one. If my unit doesn't use a CE player, what is it using?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
If really added by OEM to CE 6.0, the Windows Media Player control is built on top of Microsoft DirectShow. Consequently, the DirectShow codecs included in the OS design determine the exact list of media formats that the Windows Media Player control can play. Read more here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee483919(v=winembedded.60).aspx

Don't know it, sorry.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] puunda:
OK. So it looks like I can't get it to play other codecs easily, that's fine. How about the other issue? Is there a way to replace the media player that the unit is using to another one which has a random/shuffle function? (Assuming I can find a media player with a random function)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Your device has an SD-card slot, correct? If so and if OEM implemented an SD-Autorun feature - means at boottime a specific named file located on SD-card will be processed, then you can "abuse" this SD-Autorun feature to modify the WinCE portion of your unit according to your needs. Most people do so using MortScript herefore :)

Resume: You have to find out by yourself whether an SD-Autorun feature is implemented, and if then how, this because this differs from OEM to OEM ...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] puunda:
Yes my unit has 2 micro SD card slots. 1 is used for music, 1 is used for the GPS navigation. Interestingly there seems to be 2 different subsystems running on the unit. The GPS part acutally has a media player and IE which seems to only see 1 SD, and the music system which only sees the other SD card.

What is the easiest way to check if either has an autorun feature?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Then you alternatively might try: Put any WinCE-executable (currently recommended TotalCommander for CE6.0 - google for it) you want to run onto this SD-card and make unit's GPSPath and/or NaviPath point to it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] puunda:
Update: It's a long story, but I'll give the short version.

I found out MioPocket which was supposed to turn my WCE GPS device into a fully functional unit ... Well it broke my WCE. Luckily my unit seems to have 2 units in it. 1 is the radio/dvd/bt/sd/usb etc, and the other is a WCE unit for the GPS. The actual radio still worked fine, but the WCE wouldn't load.

After a few days talking with the supplier in China, he sent me the recovery files. I put the recover file into the SD card and it flashed the WCE and it's back to normal.

So I'm not going to touch it anymore. Because even if I was able to get a CE media player working, the system doesn't actually use CE to play music. So I'll just have to live with my built in media player without random/shuffle function.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
As this I told you in post #2 :)

How do I run or reflash the unit? Do I just put this on the micro sd and it will auto run when I turn on the head unit?

Actually the problem is more on the GPS part of my head unit. I also have 2 micro sd card slots (1 for music and the other for gps). I was able to use the navi before but it suddenly stopped working (I am using Papago X8). Now I don't know if I should reflash Win CE or get another compatible gps software.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] np27np27:
Accessing the Windows O/S should be pretty straight forward on most of these units. You should be able to find in the unit settings a setting that allows you to point to the GPS software location. Instead of the gps software, download Total commander (google it) for windows CE, put it on your sd card, and then point the gps software link to total commander. Then press the gps button and total commander will pop up. This will give you access to the Win CE file system.

firmware download from http://www.roadnav.com

I just bought one of those 2din chinese units for a vw polo 2014 s100 model.

The base firmware to flash on gps microsd slot you can find here: http://www.roadnav.com

Before you do anything copy all original micro sd files to your computer (from the gps slot)

This is a general firmware to get you starting again but does not include specific car functions for cam-bus to work with your cars functions..

Local suppliers add in some specific functions to the firmware..

After that you re-format the sd to fat 32 again and copy the original Apps and insert to the gps slot, this will autorun the gps app, in my case i have igo8.

If you change the ini files you can start any gps app you want like garmin etc with is compatible with windows ce 6.0 but be carefull with the resolution to be 800x240 or whatever your unit is ...
