[Ouya General] :
To be honest, the simplest response to this post is RTFM (no offense to the OP). Previous posters are correct: for a device to have (official) Google Play access, the OEM needs to enter a licensing agreement with Google and get the device certified. It's Google's way of making sure that its platform (gapps) will work correctly on a device (and saves them headaches when angry customers call in because they got a no-name device that's not working or performs badly).

I'm going to skip over all of the "Google" parts because they read like a rant from someone who really failed to do the research on the device before buying. You know the saying as well as anyone else: caveat emptor, let the buyer beware! For a "tech freak" and "consumer," that's pretty important advice.

For the last part, it's actually not nearly as unusual as you would think. Why do some people buy a Swiss Army Knife, and others a simple pocket knife? Because some people want their device to do everything (and don't mind if it's not the "best" at anything), and others want their tool to do one thing, and one thing very well. The OUYA was designed/marketed (the latter being the key word) as a gaming console, and anything else gets in the way of gaming (by requiring additional firmware, background processes, and so on).

Personally, I think the marketing was more than a little disingenuous given the device's hardware, and many of the "titles" on the OUYA store are pretty half-assed if you ask me. I could (and once did) write better side-scrolling shooters. I'm sure it'll improve with some time: the question is, how much?

I'm not really interested in defending OUYA-- for me, the console itself is a great looking box (the controller is...workable. Kickstarter versions have some major QC issues, so I may look into exchanging) and I bought it solely because with a bit of tinkering, I could get CM on it. I need this thing to replace a Logitech Revue (kinda), and that's not a high bar to meet! :P

tl;dr : I get that you're mad, but I don't think you did the legwork. The blame falls on you for not researching what this device was. On the other hand, the OUYA is a classic example of a good idea with bad (software) execution. But damn if it doesn't look good on a shelf. Hope to use it as a media server.
[Ouya General] treborbula1:
That is truth and not, ouya was marketed as a gaming console true, but the people behind it left a vague message about the possibilities, yes we can side load things to it but if I were a noon looking for things at the discover store I'd be going nuts, and I understand about the input deal, but what about the apps that do work why not include them in their store as an alternative , at the end of it all people want options and all they're giving to us are 149 games , it may seem like a lot but compared to the Google play store its hardly a good launch, they should have a talk with more app developers to create ouya versions of already great apps
[Ouya General] :
I hardly disagree. I think it was a pretty lousy, half-assed launch. But I'm not going to complain about that aspect of my experience, because as a Kickstarter backer I was expecting a lousy, half-baked launch. That's the nature of any software development (amazing how, for once a class on software design has come in handy). The launch titles are really kind of sad, and I'm astonished OUYA doesn't have a better frontpage for "premier" launch titles.

Sure, we're not getting A-line games, but I'm sure someone is going to be disillusioned the first time they open up their shiny new console and see side-scrolling shooters in the featured apps bin.

In any event, I personally don't see why any developer would have much incentive to port for OUYA-- as things stand, regardless of how easy porting is, it adds another device/SDK to support for what? For someone else to take money out of the developer's pot, and for a device with somewhat unstable performance.

Like I said, I'm sure things will improve one way or another-- either by the excellent developer community, or hopefully (also) from first-party support. As things stand though, I'm not confident that a new customer would be able to get their OUYA working out of the box (Wi-Fi problems being a really awful first impression), and that's everything if you're launching...well, a game platform.

Zero config, yo! (unless you count trying to plug in an old console into a TV, which can be quite an adventure nowadays).
[Ouya General] PulldOvr:
Just got my OUYA ... Set it up and updated within minutes. Sideloaded super hexagon a d played a few rounds. I am happy with it so far... But for $100 I expected a game console that could be a small media player. I bought one of the "gBox"s for $80 that I couldn't log into anything because I needed a keyboard that didn't come with it. It also was very choppy just loading android menus. This thing rubs smooth and is still very new. The support will come, but it will take time. It is hard to convince these big video game companies that are going to x86 platforms to design and build games for a mobile based chip. I am personally looking forward to installing Critical Strike portable and playing the game of my late childhood.... (CounterStrike) ... I'll be happy with that much. And working XBMC ...
[Ouya General] lordhardware:
I got mine on the 24th (finally).

Since then I've been playing OpenArena online at over 60fps. XBMC is hooked up to my home network and streams 8GB 1080p files from one of my (WIRELESS) devices to the Ouya (also wireless!) it has no issues doing this when my PS3 does.

There are some incredibly fun multiplayer games on the console, and some incredibly fun single player games on it. There is also a lot of junk.

Now, if I were to look at the launch titles of ANNNNNNY other console I might see ONE maybe TWO games that were worth anything, then I'd be looking at another YEAR before another good one. Get over the lack of games, people don't develop for a console that doesn't have a user base, so why would big companies have developed games for a console that wasn't even guaranteed a retail release yet?

It's been out LESS THAN A WEEK, give it time.

I have a cheap 1080p tv which has annoying overscan issues which give a usable resolution of 1862 x 1048, some of the apps on OUYA allow for screen resizing some don't, this is annoying but is also a KNOWN issue by the devs and will (hopefully) be fixed soon.
[Ouya General] player911:
Loving mine so far. Worse case scenerio we flash an AOSP rom on it and use it for other purposes. It plays most of what I've thrown at it. The only buggy thing I've experienced is that one EMU app.

WiFi was a little men but WAY better then my MK808, even after an external antenna mod. Controller feels solid but the PS3 still feels best. Thank god they added built in support for that.

I'd say we're going to see some cool stuff brought to life.

Ok so I tore my touch screen digitizer and just decided to sell the motherboard and working parts because this is my 3rd time breaking the phone and I'm ready for a new one. The screen turns on but the touch doesn't work and the problem is that I have a pattern lock on my phone that prevents me from being able to access and delete my data from the internal SD card. (Unlock phone to access data). Also, I just flashed the new Sense 5 rom but didn't enable Developer Options so I can't use ADB. Help?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
If your phone is S-off or you didn't supercid you could RUU.

Alernatively, you could boot to fastboot and do

fastboot erase boot

fastboot erase system

fastboot erase userdata

fastboot erase cache

fastboot erase webtop

fastboot erase preinstall

Ofcourse this will wipe EVERYTHING. So the person to buy it will have to be smart enough to get stuff on it again.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dcaples002:
What if I just wanted to erase my data and apps? Should I just do "Fastboot erase Userdata" and "fastboot erase cache"?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
That should do it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 31ken31:
Is threre a way to factory reset via adb or fastboot?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Wouldn't that be the same as erase userdata?

[General Questions and Answers] BoltDroid:
Hi folks,

My first post!

I'm running CM10.1 on rooted HTC ONE X.

I would like to use profiles to automate some settings on my phone, such as home, work, car etc that toggle WiFi, adjust volume, brightness...etc.

I can see three ways to do this:

1) Use CM10.1 profiles and add shortcut to profiles in quick settings panel.

2) Use NFC Task Launcher and NFC tags

3) Use Tasker and activate profiles by connecting to home WiFi, Bluetooth, near cell tower etc

I suppose I could also use a combination of the above?

What do you do? What are the pros and cons?

Thanks ;)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sam Nunn:
So I just got a Nexus 4 in the mail yesterday and I love it except for one thing. The battery life is awful. I am only getting around 3 hr screen on time and I want more. What is the best way to extend my battery life without rooting?

My signature sucks...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
The best ways to extend battery life without rooting is to turn off GPS when it's not in use, turn off Wifi when not in use, and you can even turn off mobile data when not in use if you really want to save battery life (You can easily turn all three of these things off and on in the quick settings panel pull down menu). Also be careful what refresh intervals you have set on data heavy apps like Facebook, Twitter, etc. usually the refresh interval for data can be set in each applications settings section. If you have these apps running constantly and are using them constantly your battery life will diminish quickly.

BUMP, why no one help me with any issues I have
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
I'm on my 4th day with the S4, and so far I've been very satisfied with speeds and coverage.

I have noticed that sometimes my LTE speeds slow down to a crawl, and rebooting the S4 gets the speeds back up to where they should be.

Just recently, I could hardly surf with speeds of:

.14Mbps/.27 Mbps ul/dl

on multiple speedtests.

After a reboot my speeds were back to around 10/10Mbps.

I've gotten speeds as fast as 18Mbps dl.

The slowdown and rebooting fix has occurred on several occasions.

I'm rooted, running stock MDL ROM and Modem.

Anyone else experiencing this?

I have to check if there's perhaps another modem I can try, or is this just T-Mobile LTE growing pains?

Hi fellow flash addicts and esteemed developers I have a problem and I am one of those if I do ask help for a problem it is a PROBLEM ;) I have tried everything this is just to see if something has been left out and any help is appreciated.

I have a galaxy s which has been lying around, the main fault with this which is hindering progress is that it has a faulty usb port, it can charge but no connection to computer my guess is as I got it used the port has been changed.

The Good

1. it has recovery

2. boots up to logo

The Bad

1. broken usb port (damn it)

2.

Updating partition details...

E: Unable to mount '/data'

E: Unable to mount '/system'

Those messages come up when i try to flash.

As the port is broken the only way is to somehow repair this through recovery if this is possible.

Currently running Mackay Recovery v2.4.4.0

Right geniuses and geeks thanks in advance, even if you just read up to title :P
[One (M7) Accessories] ryan09266:
I've seen a few posts for the spigen glas.t, but not much for the glas.tr for this phone, so I thought I would share my experience. I took the plunge and bought one recently. Let me preface this by saying that I hate, and I mean hate screen protectors, but I just got it installed and I must say this thing is awesome. I can't hardly tell the thing is on there, clarity is great, and it feels just like the screen. I'm using it with a poetic atmosphere case and they both work together perfectly (I actually hate cases too but this phone I am scared of :silly:). The lip of the case comes almost right to the edge of the glass, and the rounded edges make it seem almost part of the design. I will say my first one had issues, as the edges didn't stick to the phone so it had bubbles around it, I took it off almost immediately. Amazon overnighted me a second one and that's the one I have on right now, it has no issues at all. So if anybody is interested I would totally recommend this thing, coming from a screen protector hater :D
[One (M7) Accessories] Pure+:

Thanks for the pics. In #2, 5 & 7 It looks like the glass is not flush with the bottom or sides and has a gap. Wont you have issues with dust in those areas
[One (M7) Accessories] ryan09266:
The glass lies flat with the screen, but the round part of the rounded edges don't go all the way to the bottom, it created an edge part of the way down, so this edge catches a little dust.

[One (M7) Accessories] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
Given their policy on there site most likely for free. You can see the policy whenever you visit the page for either the t or tr
[One (M7) Accessories] ryan09266:
I bought it through Amazon, contacted their customer service, and explained the issue with the first one. She said since the item listing said no exchanges, she told me to buy a new one with overnight shipping, she then removed the shipping charges, and gave me a label to return the other one. So essentially a free exchange, but in a roundabout way.

(I see on the other topic with Mime tr. glass, the responsivness was a bit affected, so I'm curiuous about this one)
[One (M7) Accessories] ryan09266:
I haven't noticed a difference in sensitivity, sometimes it's a little weird to hit the rounded edge when you go for the home/back button. But everything works just as it did without the glass on.
[One (M7) Accessories] eltoffer:
you got the same phone color, the same case de same color and the same HTC ONE X :D and im thinking on buying this glass XD
[One (M7) Accessories] rainbowsixpro1:
Will this work with UAG Case?
[One (M7) Accessories] sbihue:
Finally caved in and ordered the regular one. Since I have a case, I am thinking it won't really matter with the edges. One other question...

Does this stick out when sliding the finger from top or bottom. I have a non-glass screen protector and can certainly feel the slight lift as I move hand on the screen up/done from the lower/upper speaker.
[One (M7) Accessories] ryan09266:
Not sure, I on the fence about ordering one, if I do I will let you know.

Mine you can definitely feel the lift, but the tr is thicker than the t, mine might be more noticeable. Although I can't say I mind it.
[One (M7) Accessories] IINexusII:
i seem to have chipped the edges of my Glas.t slim with a small drop onto my laptop... ill have to get it replaced with the Glas.tR now :( ill post some more pictures when its installed
[One (M7) Accessories] gandi54:
just to add my tuppence to the topic as my GlassTr arrived today from Amazon.

I fitted it using the hinge method...in the bathroom after running the shower to keep the dust down. It went on perfectly, just made sure I took a bit of time to ensure it was all in the right place first, then peeled off the backing and plopped it down. One gentle push in the centre and it stuck down with no problems.

Needed a gentle application of the squeegee at the top corners, but otherwise faultless...if you're holding off because you're worried about applying it, then don't...if a clutz like me can do it, then anyone can.

The feeling is, as everyone has said, just like the screen in now covers and leagues ahead of any plastic film protector I've used on other phones.

My only negative comment is that it's small, I mean really small, much smaller than I expected...I fitted it flush with the bottom of the screen, right wher the join to the speaker plate is so that the capacative buttons are completely covered and it's about 1mm shy of the join with the top speaker plate. Same gap on the edges too, about .5mm either side when the protector is central...means that the case I have fits easily, but does leave a small "dust trap" gap between the Spiegen and the case now...hardly the end of the world, but not what I was expecting, I'd have like to see it "fit" a little closer to the edges of the screen all round for the money.
[One (M7) Accessories] ImJacky:
I bought one from Amazon and just installed it... Awesome!
[One (M7) Accessories] sbihue:
Agree.

I used the hinge process as well and aligned the glass to the left and bottom of the screen. There is now a visible gap towards the right and top of the phone. Not really noticeable with the case on but it bugs me to pay top $ for a case which is short on screen dimensions.

Wonder how the fitment on the clones (Mime Ghost glass etc) is.Some comparative pictures will be helpful

Hey happy users of the LG Optimus 4X HD, just want to share you this emulator which runs perfectly on our device.

I only tried two games but they are heavy and run pretty smoothly on our device.

I tried : - Dragonball Z Shin Budokai (absolutely fluid)

- PES 2013 (lags sometimes)

There are also a lot of settings so that you can customise your controls.

You can also save and load state easily.

The app is still in beta stage but is being update frequently, the global performance are improved and the list of compatibility gets longer and longer.

Just a little tip : In the settings, Buffered Rendering is ticked by default however if you want get the real and great graphics, untick Buffered Rendering.
