Yeah I feel the same way it. It feels cheap like not worth the 50 that I spent on it. I'm trying real hard to think of a reason to keep the ouya controller since I hate to return items but it's not looking good
[Ouya General] player911:
I personally like the PS3 better just because the dpad. I find I can get around easier and retro games are more responsive. I hate the circular dpads. Either give me a plus layout or the PS style layout.
[Ouya General] The Old One:
I'm using a PS3 controler and keyboard/touchpad almost never turn the ouya controler on but I found some games and emulaters don't map the buttons right.

Yeah the Ouya controller is complete trash. Touch pad is so frustrating to navigate with and the D-Pad gets jammed and is unresponsive a lot of the time. PS3 controller all the way.
[Ouya General] MasterHenky:
Xbod Pads (Wireless Receiver) works best for me.
[Ouya General] phin586:
Am I the only fan of this remote?!
[Ouya General] Asadullah:
Yes you are :) . Thanks for the responses I'm on my way to exchange the controller.

I got it and am definitely liking it more hopefully I'll come up with a way to get this to recognize the ps3 as another ouya controller
[Ouya General] The Old One:
I hope to use a PS4 controller an the Ouya to get everything.

Edit: I like the playstation layout better and if the PS4 controller works on the Ouya including the touchpad it could be a full replacement for people who like me want that layout but people who want the "X-Box" layout could use the Ouya controller.

[Ouya General] JLCollier2005:
No, you're not! I really like this controller! I think the touchpad is an awesome feature that, while isn't perfect, really makes using the OUYA easy. Personally the only thing I would fix with it is "Clicking" with the touchpad is a bit hit and miss. Also if there was a 2 finger tap-and-drag, that would make using it even better.

Personally I won't have any other controller hooked up unless I need more than the 2 OUYA controllers I have.
[Ouya General] Tempri:
If only the D-Pad was a bit more responsive and less sticky then I would agree that it is a decent controller as the actual shape and feel of it is quite comfortable.
[Ouya General] twent4:
I could be hallucinating but did anyone notice slightly more input lag using the PS3 controllers?

PS3 Wireless keypad pairing

Of all the different keyboards/mice/controllers I've tried, I know that your set up is got to be the best way to do it! Especially if you are a power user on X BMC...

Is there any way you can share with us instructions on how to pair the PS3 keypad to the ouya? I've looked all over the forums but can't seem to find one... Lots of info on the controller, but nothing on the keypad. (I've tried using the ps3 Controller pairing instructions on the keypad and have had no success)

BTW, I have the official Sony Wireless Keypad model# CECHZ1UC
[Ouya General] The Old One:
I'm not using the sony one. I have an old Logitech keyboard with touchpad sold as a PS3 addon. Has some PS3 buttons on it but is mostly just bt keyboard.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvee:

A different computer? (will verify if it's the computer)

Uninstalling all USB drivers then reinstalling them?

Watching what happens in Device Manager when you plug in?

Switching debugging mode on or off on N7?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idkwts:
One of those options, I held off on since I was confused on how to exactly do it.

I can't really use a different computer because I'm trying to move around 15 GB of music located on the laptop I'm trying to get to recognize the Nexus 7 ..and the other computer is damaged lol.

The second option is what I was confused on. How would I go about doing this?

I'll try the third and fourth now.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idkwts:
I switched to USB debugging and it installed some drivers again. "Google Nexus 7 ADB Interface Installed" It said this when before I turned on USB Debugging. Still doesn't show up as a drive if it's supposed to.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danvee:
You need the other computer long enough to verify if the N7 is Ok.

You're not going to be transferring stuff.

Just a diagnostic step. Any computer running XP-8 will do.

I'd do that before playing with the drivers. You've got to have access to another computer somewhere for 3-4 minutes.

When you flash it with Flashtool, unselect wipe DATA, anyway you can backup your phone with your google profile, that will auto redownload all your apps.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] becha:
Hi,

I am thinking about encrypting my Nexus 4. I am already using encryption on all my computers but I never tried it on my smartphone, so there are three questions I hope you will answer:

1)

How is battery life affected? Well, fortunately the battery of the Nexus 4 is quite good and I hope encryption won't waste too much.

2)

How is speed affected? My Desktop CPU has AES-NI and there's a SSD, so you don't even recognize system encryption. How is it doing on the Nexus 4? I'm just doing the usual smartphone stuff, means E-Mail, messaging, phoning, checking News &Weather and sometimes playing Doodle Jump. My research on the Internet about encryption performance on Android didn't bring up things I can really rely on so I hope someone here can tell me his experiences.

3)

Which algorithm is used exactly? I know it's dm_crypt and I'm using it on my other computers, too, but on my PC I can choose which algorithm I want and on Android it's given as far as I know.

Regards,

becha

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanhoud:
1. Barely noticeable

2. Same as 1

3. Not sure
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memleak:
1) I doesn't notice any real impact on battery life. Used the N4 several months before encrypting it.

2) Booting the phone is slowed down, and not only because you have to enter the key for accessing the encrypted drive. But opening apps and doing backup, etc. isn't slowed down. I guess I wouldn't even notice an encrypted devices and so did no one until now, while using my phone.

I was also doubtful before, because in my experience, on a laptop back in the days (5 years ago), the battery drain and performance impact was just to big. But on the other side, I do a lot more disk based tasks on my laptop, than I do on my phone.

in short, after I lost my last phone, I really wanted to give it a try and I didn't regret it until now.

Hoping to hear good answers to question 3.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] becha:
Yesterday I encrypted my Nexus 4, it took around an half an hour. Until now (well, one day...) I didn't discover any problems apart from the fact, that my Nexus 4 did a simple restart for the first time when trying to encrypt it. Everything went fine when trying the second time. The phone itself runs fluent, so up to now I didn't see any performance problems.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidBois:
Now I can't backup my ROM - any suggestions? Perhaps Recovery can mount to an external USB storage or something? What a pain! You can't un-encrypt either, and there's no way to mount encrypted storage in Recovery :( I wanted to backup before installing privacy protection in case it borked my phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e-ignite:
Another encryption question...

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but can anyone tell me if OTA updates will still work on a stock, unrooted N4 that's been encrypted?

Can't find a definitive answer - some have had success on other devices and others haven't.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidBois:
I don't see why turning on stock encryption on a stock unmodified device would make any difference?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e-ignite:
I wasn't sure why / if this would make a difference either but as I said, I can't find a definitive answer. Some people say that you need to factory reset in order to remove the encryption before you can apply an OTA update, but others say different.

I'd be interested to know if the OTA would work after simply asking you for your encryption PIN on reboot, or if the encryption would prevent the OTA being applied because of the encrypted storage. Does anyone have any experience of this?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memleak:
You have to use TWRP Recovery, which is able to mount your encrypted internal storage.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidBois:
No way.. I thought I'd tried every option I could think of in TWRP but I'll take a closer look.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] memleak:
If you start TWRP, it should automatically ask for your passphrase to read the encrypted internal storage. Latest version of TWRP works for me, older ones had bugs regarding to encrypted devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tuloste:
Still a few weeks back I was able to download all manner of files, including P2P file transfers. Now I can only access websites such as youtube or listen to spotify, and if I were to try and update say counter strike using my cellular connection (no other connection at my new place) absolutely nothing would happen. Same thing with WOW updates (both with p2p sharing disabled and enabled), same thing with torrent downloads (used to work without a problem). I call up my ISP and they are just as dumbstruck by the problem as am I, and say that there are no restrictions on file transfers from their side. The tech guy tried to explain to me how to type in some "open port(s)" command on android, but following (probably incorrectly) his directions I got nowhere. Hopefully there's someone here with the correct expertise to know what's up :(.

Assuming you have ActiveSync installed, once you've established a connection between your PC and the SX66 (using USB/BT/WiFi), hit Explore in ActiveSync on the PC, then double-click on "My Pocket PC" and "Storage Card". You can then drop files on that window to copy to the SD card.

did you managed to root phone?

actualy you cannot install those recovery zips because you do not have a recovery allready installed, easyest way, download rommanager from market and open it and flash clockworkmod recovery(beware what version of phone you flash, lg p500 or cwm 5.0.2.7) from it, after that you can flash any .zip files after you boot into recevery, custom roms, kernels, mods etc

I use an app from market named QuickBoot because my p500 is a little old and have some issues with hardware keys, need to push them realy hard to work

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------

after successfull installed recovery, UNINSTALL ROMMANAGER, all you need you will do it from recovery, Rommanager is no longer needed because it doesn't work too good with p500, do not boot into recovery from it, do it manualy, do not backup rom from it, do it from recovery, Rommanager mess some things up in our phone

first thing after first boot into recovery is to backup your original rom(it will take few minutes) and after that copy that backup into your pc, you will find it in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ folder named with date you did it (use ES file explorer)

---------- Post added at 10:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

oh, forgoted, after rooting install Superuser, Busybox and TerminalEmulator from market
