Mine in fine

My phone is fine, i use microusb and plug it in once a day at night.

Though small dents around the microusb port can happen on any phone really if you're not careful

Sounds like you need to be more gentle when plugging it in

or buy a wireless charger.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaenova:
I've just noticed mine also has very small marks too, very small though. I agree that its time to invest in a wireless charger.

Does anyone know how (in KitKat) to add the Menu button (big one, not the three dots) to the Nav Bar, preferably replacing the Recently Used apps (which I don't think I have ever used in my three years of droiding...). Gravitybox will allow me to make the three dots always viewable, but I haven't found a solution that will put the big button back...

Very annoying, I like having my bluetooth on at all times incase i wanted to use my headset.. but when I have my BT turned on, it constantly runs a lil service light thing and blinks every 10 seconds it seems.

Any idea?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
Try VJEschaton it turns them all off.

M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] thormdac:
... or use a registry editor and change

hkey local machine\drivers\builtin\AllLEDmgr

from default 1 to 0 to shut down ALL led activity.

A nice registry collection is combined in tweaks2k2.net program

Cheers
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
oltp: does VJEschaton turn the leds off?

I'm intending to write in code to enable vibrate etc (or did I already do that, can't remember!), but I thought the Blue led was independant. Be cool if it does.

I don't think the blue led can be activated by normal code AFAIK, think it's at a driver level - I wanted to make a nice red,green, blue, orange flasher, but it got too late in the night to continue :)

V
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
V: I thought it did, just tried again with BT on & it keeps flashing blue & green. Then switched BT off & toggled it to orange. Next toggle keeps it orange :-(. But now led off, turns it green.

So the off switches to orange & on to green. Funny but unintended I think. Toggle only turns it orange & that's it.

Btw using v0.11

M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
oltp: that's what I thought. My feeling is that the API used to control the LED defines most PDAs as having one or two leds by design. I think this was in the old days with non phone versions. So I think the led being controlled is the default Orange alert led, so we can switch that on and off.

However, I suspect that the Power led and bluetooth led are tied into hardware/drivers. There might be a way to control them, but it would require more digging and might not be compatible with all hardware.

FYI: the second "LED" is actually the vibrator, so it can be controlled by the same code. There are functions to control stepper speed and duration etc, so you could possibly use it as I/O controller for a robot or something, it you're were perversly inclined, like me :)

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
So the old joke about the mobile phone comes back to a more controlled life ;-)

No good it's mine, it's mine, it's no longer mine :-( back to my old nokia again. First the kids & now...

A truly sad, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
Why you sad oltp? It's Sunday and I'm still in the office, that's sad :(

What did you want to do? Disable all leds? There's always a way...

V
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
V: I know I'm @ home teaching NFS Underground to the kids, it could be much worse. Like next week I've to work @ night.

Flighing lessons will probably turn off all leds, but hey it's Yze's question not mine. I keep the leds blinking, so I know it's working even though the screen is off.

So back to the basics: use tweaks2k2.net to turn them of. VJEschaton is still under development.

V: do you implement the BT switcher in VJEschaton or another tool?

Keep it cool, M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
oltp: hopefully tonight I'm releasing VJVolubilis for some control of BT. When you say BT Switcher, what do you mean?

I don't have time to finish all of VJVolubilis, but like VJEschaton, it's a good place to start, and continue adding new features over time (hence the low version numbers, 0.11 etc!). I want to investigate the Blue & Gree Led, but this type of coding needs so much hunting and digging :(

V
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
V: BT switcher is for me a tool/shortcut to toggle the BT state (not necessarily on an incoming call lol)

M
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vijay555:
Oltp: good, I've put that in already. There are other apps to do this, but VJVolubilis will do a few things in one place.

Hey guys,

I'm on stock 4.4 with bricked kernel, but when I try to install any roms, I either get stuck on the boot screen or get bootlooped. I've tried several roms and kernels with every combination possible, and none work. For example, droidkang and elementalx 11.0->bootloop, droidkang and bricked -> bootloop, droidkang and chaos ->stuck on boot screen, cataclysm and chaos ->bootloop, catacalysm and bricked->stuck on boot screen, elemental and stock->bootloop, latest bricked and stock->bootloop. I've factory reset, wiped cache, wiped dalvik cache every single time I've flashed something new. I have absolutely no idea where I could possibly go wrong. Everything I flash either ends up in bootloop or gets stuck on the bootscreen. Does anyone have any ideas?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CRIME INC.:
Why not try just flashing the ROM and rebooting with the included kernel, let it boot, then try flashing kernel?

sent from my HAMMERHEAD neXus
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haloXgod117:
Yea, I've tried that as well. I let droidkang boot once, then went back into recovery and flashed elementalx, and it bootlooped, so I restored my backup.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CRIME INC.:
What exactly are you wiping before flashing kernel?

sent from my HAMMERHEAD neXus

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

Reason I ask is, according to your post you're doing a factory reset before flashing the kernel, which isn't necessary. Cache and dalvik wipe are enough

sent from my HAMMERHEAD neXus
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haloXgod117:
I factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache, before installing the rom, and let it boot, then I go back into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, and install the kernel then reboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwhyte:
When you say stuck on boot screen how long do you wait? First boot is the longest<10 min. Do standard wipe flash ROM gapps reboot. Setup ROM reboot recovery flash kernel no wipe. Make sure kernel is compatible with ROM.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coleam:
I'm running the official Pac Man release with the latest nightly (12/05) and I just realized that the options menu button no longer appears on the nav bar when I'm in an app. This has been the case since I installed Pac Man about a month ago (previous version was 11/10; updated to see if it would fix the random crashes I was having), but it took me this long to figure out why I couldn't get into the settings on any of my apps - I don't tweak them very much usually.

I've tried running a couple different launchers (Nova and Trebuchet) with no success in getting the menu button back. Anyone have an idea as to why it's gone and how to bring it back?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
There should be an option in the settings menu for the nav bar to enable/disable menu button. You can set it to default actions so it shows up in apps or you can set it to always be in your nav bar.

You're welcome. Hopefully, it works. I've never used PA, but I've seen this issue pop up on a couple of other ROMs I've used.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarvoke:
(apologies if this is already posted, I didn't see anything similar on search.)

so one of the newer updates removed the option to skip the CC entry bit? and I really do not want to hand out my CC info to yet another company. (I've never even let Steam/Valve store it, which a couple years ago turned out to have been a very smart thing)

I read that some game stores in NA and UK will let you buy ouya codes and print you out a receipt with the number on it. sadly, not really any game stores near me much less ones that might possibly do that.

but I saw that amazon US has codes for 5 bucks and up, so that USD5.31 (thanks for the tax guys) easily got me past the CC screen. amazon CA also appears to sell them. however I don't see it on amazon DE JP or UK.

some info if you do consider buying it from amazon US:

- at the checkout, it told me "This item currently supports Mac OS X only" (tf?!)

- after I paid, it wanted me to download a "3K file" which turned out to be 1MB "OUYA_5_Digital_Token_Online_Game_Code_Downloader.exe"

("OSX only", huh? I'd worry more at this point if I *was* an Mac person)

- scanned the heck out of the file just to be safe.

- running the program phones home to amazon and eventually puts a couple HTML files on your desktop. 1 of the files has the key in it.

- typed the key into the waiting Redeem Code screen on the ouya, and all was well.

I've no idea what would happen if you were in another country and bought the key exe from amazon US. I worry that when it phones home it would know you are not in NA/US. unless you use a proxy?
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snoman002:
Interesting.

Would one of the prepaid credit cards work? I have used the Wal-Mart one in the past for a subscription to a company I didn't really want having my regular CC info.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarvoke:
probably? I've seen more than a few threads on various forums with people reporting success with prepaid CC. I haven't tried it personally. I considered signing up for one thru my existing CC, but it still had monthly $1 fee and other stupid stuff, so the 5 bucks code was the best choice for me I guess.

I did try a lot of the valid "test" CC #s, which supposedly worked on Ouya in the past. but none of those worked for me.
[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huckjam:
you can use test cc numbers and just bypass entering a valid number completly. here is a link to a list of valid test credit card numbers pick one

http://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/vhelp/paypalmanager_help/credit_card_numbers.htm

[Ouya Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarvoke:
huckjam - to be fair, I only tried the test numbers on my ouya account webpage. I didn't try them on the actual ouya screen, which I should have. it's quite possible their CC validator is different between the web account page and the ouya screen?

[Nook Touch General] lekofraggle:
This is a known issue. I just received mine in the mail and it had issues. I found you can clean it and it may help. But for me, since it is brand new, I just had them ship out a new one. If you are not under warranty, I actually just did a factory restore and it stemmed to have helped a bit.
[Nook Touch General] yeahman45:
ok thx. It's brand new for me also... not even 1 month... do i need to ship back my nook to get a replacement? i bought from ebay... i need to contact who to report the issue? I read when they give u a replacement, they you a refurbished one?

edit: hmmm so this issue is faulty hardware? or it's just cleaniness? and it will happen sooner or later on any nook? will a cover help?
[Nook Touch General] cowbutt:
Nook touch screens use infra-red sensors/emitters located around the edges of the screen. If the transparent plastic sandwiched between the screen and the bezel gets dusty, it can cause problems.
[Nook Touch General] yeahman45:
so it's not really a hardware fault but it's because of dirt?? any cover case that can protect against such scenarios? how do i clean it?
[Nook Touch General] lekofraggle:
I think there are two scenarios (perhaps more). Faulty hardware in which the infra red sensors do not function correctly or dirt/ dust impeding their ability to function. One always hopes for the latter.

The reset I did only helped for about an hour.

First try to clean it.

Since you got it off eBay, start by contacting the seller. Ask the person if it is still under warranty.

Then, contact 1800thebook to get a replacement. If it is not under warranty, I am not sure what your options are. EBay and electronics is always a gamble. Sorry.

~Leko

Go forth and work toward your salvation with diligence.
[Nook Touch General] yeahman45:
ok thx,... i have tried cleaning it up but it helps for a few seconds but then it gets freaky at times.. it's a pain to type! do you guys ever take notes with it??? it's impossible...

i don't think it's a hardware issue since the first 2 weeks it works with no problems... i was keeping it in the box while not in use... since i started not keeping it in its box.. i am getting these touch issues... so seems related to dust...

will i need to send back my nook to get a replacement... sounds pretty annoying to do so.. shipping is damn expensive

sidenote: looking at the edge of the nook, i see shiny particles... is this normal or is this dust?
[Nook Touch General] yeahman45:
i can't even type my wifi password anymore... every button i touch also "ghost" touch the corresponding middle button.. e.g. when i press d, i get dg ... how do i clean that damn thing? where do i need to clean exactly?? i am cleaning the edge.. does not seem to work.. sometimes it seems ok, then 2 secs later it gets messed up again
[Nook Touch General] Crispy3000:
Cleaning the screen is a different reason to normal screens. Normally you just want the greasy finger prints off etc. However thats for a resistive or capacitve based touchscreen. NST/NSTG touchscreen works on an infrared array running along the edges ABOVE the screen rather than a stuck on touchscreen so as not to affect the contrast in sunlight.

This means a piece of particulate matter on the screen will affect the touch sensor.

If its confused sometimes it won't work at all! The worst environment to ever take your NST is to a sandy beach, really don't do it.

Personally I use a air duster (compressed air can) to get those pesky bits out of the edges.

When not using NST keep face down to keep out bits of crap or keep in a case..

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
hot... what is your cpu temp? hot does not mean anything, its a relative term. if you give us a cpu temp, tben we can say if its hot or not. i say this because many complain about "overheating", then give us a cpu temp of around 37-38C. the funny thing is 37C is the average human body temp, so yhat is in no way overheated.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pranavt2000:
It peaked at around 45. Which I also read somewhere was the temp at which the CPU would start throttling. Which would've been alright, had there been any load. But it's getting there on idle. Would wiping cache do any good?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
45C is well within normal, and not even considered hot. hot would be 65C and higher(if not watching videos or playing intense games). the safety shut down temp is 100C, which the phone will automatically shut off on its own.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AndyME:
I have to admit that it was by mistake (actually I was looking to get rid of the t-mobile phone skin) that I stumbled over a nice way to get 10MB more program memory out of the MDA Pro:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin

"Enabled"

Change from "1" to "0"

as a result of that, you cannot make videocalls anymore, but you can change this setting back within 2 minutes...(resco reg editor brings up the latest entry at startup so its right there, and then warm reset) and the ugly t-mobile skin is gone and replaced by the original nice blue windows skin.

I also squeezed 3 MB more by installing the ext.ROM of the qtek instead the one of t-mobile, since qtek is just 0.5MB vs 3.5MB from t-mobile. I did not really find a difference in performance.

Does anyone know of any similar "simple" tricks that would release more memory? at what ever price, but everyone has different needs, so it may be an option for some people?

Actually I have (and that is where the the phone skin thing comes from)

but it did not mention that not only you loose the skin but also the video phone feature and gain 10MB..so actually I am wondering if this happened to me only because I am using the combination of t-mobile ROM and qtek ext.ROM??

and then: none of the reg hacks in wiki seem to free up some RAM (at least as far as I can tell..but I really am just a little better reg. user, I cannot write one line of code...)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] universaldoc:
When you say your program memory increased by 10 Mb, does it mean that you now have 55 Mb of memory avalable?

I have a Jasjar and i recently hard-reset my device. When the Ext.Rom was about to install, i soft-reset the device. My device i now 40% faster, and i am NOT exaggerating. All the bloatware from i-mate didn't get installed which is perhaps the reason the Jasjar is working as fast as any other device, SIMPLY SUPERB.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] universaldoc:
@Andy,

When i go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin ", i get 2 folders with further sub folders and one entry.

The 2 folders are:

1) Dialer (with further subfolders such as Landscape and Portait etc)

2) Progress

The last entry available is "default which has no value set".

I don't see any entry that plainly says "Enabled". Solution?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] vijay555:
I've been harping on about the curse of the phone dialer skin since writing VJBigPhone. I was forced to install the skin etc for compatibility, and it makes such an enormous difference, slows things down so much. If you don't care for the bubbly buttons, remove it ASAP. You'll have much faster screen rotations and generally feels snappier.

Also clears up unsightly rashes :oops:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] universaldoc:
Trust me, after resetting the device prior to Ext.Rom installation, my Jasjar is now BLAZING fast and in now way is this an exaggeration.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro Software Upgrading] AndyME:
@universaldoc:

you see, I have two more entries on that page. below this default string comes the dword "enabled" entry that has to be switched from 1 to 0. and below that one comes the string phcanhtc.dll

What I am observing, is: I did an installation prior to this one, with no ext ROM. that gave me the same amount of program memory as I am having now. the difference is only, that now I have some functions that were missing when I did not install ext rom, for instance I did not have the voice commands. and also not the video calling, same as now.

So what I think is: since you did not install the ext ROM, maybe that is the reason why you do not have these registry entries....because there is nothing to disable, since it was not installed at all? what do i know...lol..

and to answer your other question: my MDA Pro has 50MB of program memory, this value remains unchanged. But, with the skin enabled, I had 17MB (!) after warm reset...(1900 contacts, a few today plug.ins)...and it was hardly viable. And now i have 27....so much better.

Also: i have the latest (german) t-mobile rom (1.20), i find it much more stable than the first one which was terrible. and the qtek wasn't bad either.

(german version too)
