[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcgraw:
I don't know. If you already had a tv you were happy with otherwise then sure, the ptv is a reasonable addition.

If you find a great deal on a cheaper/nonsmart tv then it would be a good alternative as well, but if you're only going to be saving £20 to £30 I'm not sure it would be worth it.

Have you considered a slimport adaper or a chromecast?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ermacwins:
Slimport is wired right? And the chromecast can't mirror everything can it like all apps, games and videos
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badboy47:
Sadly not. Its very very limited. Before I was able to play my offline music on tv but Google decided to block that feature with an update :(. Only plays music purchased from Google music.

The YouTube updates made it worst. I connect it to my Tv; play one video. All going well. But if my Nexus 4 screen goes to sleep it stops working. If I want play next video; I have to reconnect it to my TV.

Oh and after switching my router security to wpa2; chromecast cannot be detected anymore. I searched online and it's not only me. Now, It's just sitting on my computer table collecting dust.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bladebuddy:
Slimport is wired yes and plays/shows everything on the screen as long as the screen is on.

Mirrorcast and chromecast both rely on wifi.

Tried both and personally prefer slimport its dam cooool.

Games are hard to play thought as you need sometimes to look at the phone to hit the buttons e.t.c which means you're not concentrating on the T.V.

If you get one of them game controllers you should be o.k.

It would need to be a Bluetooth one or one that doesn't connect to the micro USB out socket as you need that for the slimport.

Sorry I no nothing about controllers as I have never used one.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivver:
Hi

I've got mine Galaxy S2 which I was rooting, changing rom a lot of times, never had any problems.

My friend gave me his phone to do a root on it, I was doing everything like always, and when I tried to install the root and restarted, the phone it's not turning on at all anymore. Tried to take out the battery, change for another one, but nothing.

Do you think that USB JIG can help in this situation when phone is not responding at all or maybe you have another ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivek_Neel:
Can you able to go into download mode?.

If yes then flash stock rom
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HashyCode:
Try to go in download mode. Home+Volume down+Power button.

If yes. Flash any Stock rom on Odin.

If you can't go to download mode. Maybe USB Jig is the solution. :)
[Sony Xperia M] daruto80:
can you help me??...can i install cm 11 in my xperia M with the bootloader locked???
[Sony Xperia M] dunc4n88:
No requires unlocked bootloader to flash boot image with cwm anything to do with cwm requires unlocked bootloader at this moment in time as stock does not have a recovery system maybe later down the line it might be possible once developers get to know the phone more and develop more
[Sony Xperia M] giridhargp:
Seems like you don't know much!before installing cm11 please study about that,other wise you may brick your phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ellokomen:
hi,

I had this phone bought with a black screen problem.

The phone is always black, it has LED activity, when charging, also it vibrates and BACK and MENU lights comes up.

the device boots up because I can hear the music when booting, and also it respond when I touch it, but the sound comes with static and when a SIM card is on, no calls goes by it.

The device was OK but a guy tried to root it with CASUAL root and TWPR recovery and bricked the device.

Any suggestion?

This seems like a software issue to me, because it was made only by flashing some files with odin.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Sounds like a hardware issue...

I broke the LCD on mine, but still had everything working with no visible screen. None of the stuff you described corresponds to a brick and cannot cause this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ellokomen:
I think it must by a software issue, I have seen this same behavior on other thread but the person with the solution always sent a PM to anyone in need of help and the solution was never released to the public.

Now the person doesn't appear to be active on the forum, that's why I posted this.

This is the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2324965

Same behavior: Black screen, LED flashing and vibrating and connectivity on the PC ( I can even use KIES and MTP )

If someone has the solution or suggestion please I would really appreciate it, this phone is mint and just bought.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
If you can use Kies, try to use the emergency recovery. It may fail. But worth a shot. If that fails, grab the MF3 Odin files and try those, if this fail, go get the MK2 update.zip. That will likely work if the other 2 options fail. But, that has to be flashed in the stock recovery... It would not be hard to do if someone can post the exact button presses needed to flash it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ellokomen:
I tried KIES recovery, that was my first option, KIES sees everything OK, it even updated to the last version of AT&T (lol) but still the same symptoms.

Now I'm trying all kind of stuffs with odin, the guy that bricked it told me he ticked "NAND ERASE ALL" in Odin :eek: because it was needed to root the device according to him.

I can get to download mode with battery Pulled, VOL DOwn Pressed while inserting battery, 5 sec after first vibration I pres Vol UP and then the PC grabs it and it appears in ODIN.

But when I press Vol Down to go to Recovery to try to get ADB working (because it is not enabled in the developer debugging) , the recovery fails and the device restarts, So I guess the recovery is broken no matter what ROM or recovery I put (tried with Stock and MJ6 recovery, no success so far)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
That is a hardware issue then. If nothing is coming up on the screen in recovery or download mode, it is not software related.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] muniz_ri:
Do you see knox warranty counter in download mode? If yes then you are on mf3 or later. If that's the case then follow the thread with mf3-emergency-parts 1 and 2. I'm thinking it's a software issue based on what caused the soft brick. Good luck
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ellokomen:
Yeah, I tried everything so far and nothing seems to work (I could put it on recovery but no screen whatsoever)

Tomorrow I'm going to take it to repair service, it seems to me something deep is broken, like a driver for the display or something else.

The last step I wanted was to put it in qualcomm usb mode to erase everything in the internal memory and then using the qualcomm recovery for I9505 variants, reinstall the bootloader and at least, have it in download mode; but I can't find any way to put it in this qualcomm usb mode (QHSUSB) if anyone knows how to do this without disassembling the phone that would be great.

Thanks everyone for the help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
I'm telling you... It is not software related... All three things (OS, Download, and recovery) display absolutely nothing it is a hardware failure.

Here is what I want you to do. Turn the device on to any mode. Then shine a flashlight onto the screen. See if you can see any image. If so, the back lights are faulty, if not, you may see hairline cracks in the LCD. If this is the case, you will need to replace the LCD/Digitizer assembly.

Bottom line, it is not a software related issue.

[General Questions and Answers] AZZB:
I use Eclipse Luna. I had the problem that it hanged on start.

So I started it with eclipse -clean. Now it's alright except for

workspace settings.

I want Eclipse to automatically start with a particular workspace

like it was before the eclipse -clean start.

Now Eclipse starts without opening the saved workspace.

But the workspace is saved somewhere because I can choose it

at File->Switch Workspace->D:\workspaceEclipse.

When I choose it Eclipse is restarting and opening D:\workspaceEclipse

automatically. But the workspace directory is only saved for one start.

When I exit Eclipse (File->Exit) and make a new start it is again

starting with empty workspace and I have again to choose

File->Switch Workspace->D:\workspaceEclipse.

But I want to open the workspace D:\workspaceEclipse automatically

for ever like it was before the Eclipse start with -clean parameter.

What ist to do to reach it?
[One (M7) General] serkanhiziroglu1998:
I've been using Android since 2011 but I'm not happy with it. It always looked like laggy to me but I always didn't care.

Now I'm with HTC One and I'm not happy again. Apps, customization options, etc. are amazing but, even after reading tons of person's "This phone i very smooth, stable" I just can't find this phone smooth or stable nor Android OS. When I install a rom (with fully wipe of course), 1 or 2 day I satisfy with it, it starts to lag, and late responses etc.

I hate IOS either but still, after usign my brothers iphone for a minute, I hate from my phone.

But I don't want to leave Android. When I need to buy a new phone, I always select Android ones because I always believed that the next one will be much more smoother because of new processors etc. but even with the 2013's flagship phone, it hasn't happened yet. (at least for me) :laugh:

What are yours comments??

Note: I didn't open this thread to blame on Android. I just wondered yours comments.
[One (M7) General] HiddenSanctum:
What rom are you using? And what apps? My HTC One is plenty smooth
[One (M7) General] Scripts:
That's how I was with my old phone. You just need to look up phone statistics and read reviews online. A good phone at a decent price. Don't buy a used or referbished. I agree though. Android isn't the best, but it does get me through my needs.

Sent from ALCATEL One Touch Fierce
[One (M7) General] serkanhiziroglu1998:
Firstly thank you for your answer.

I tried tons of roms including ARHD, Insertcoin, GPE Roms, CM. Now I'm with InsertCoin and ElementalX (tried stock kernel too) and after 2 days I got laggy again. I think its not important for me anymore because whenever I ask a question about smoothness I get answers like apps, roms and I try them. I don't install any apps more than 10. Apps I install are generic apps like Twiitter, WhatsApp, TitaniumBackup, Cache cleaner. :)
[One (M7) General] serkanhiziroglu1998:
I got One after watching tons of reviews and its said that its a fast phone. I think I'm obsessed with this smoothness expectation from Android because I used Nexus 4 for 4 months too and I wasn't happy with that too. But still, N4 was much more stable than One for me. :laugh:
[One (M7) General] Prophet16:
I think I know what you're talking about. The phone seems perfectly fast after you install a new rom but then it slows down a lot over time. I have had the same issue with my One and my older S2. But now my phone seems to be really fast all the time with the 4.4.2 GPE. It's a stock ROM but I added some of my own stuff to it. I've been on the same rom for about 2 or 3 weeks now and it seems pretty smooth. Not even the UI stutters anymore. I also used App Ops to fix the battery drain issue with the Kit Kat update and now the phone is perfect. You should try a converting your phone to GPE and see how that is for you. I'm currently very happy with how my phone performs, it ranks high in benchmarks without any overclocking and gets much better battery life as well.
[One (M7) General] veritasxe:
To be honest, your phone is probably laggy because you've rooted it and have flashed the software and firmware multiple times. Run a stock HTC One and it's buttery. Any time I root or jailbreak a phone, I regret it after a while because it seems to screw up the device. I had the 4 and 4S, both were jailbroken and were laggy as hell. My HTC One is pretty unresponsive and laggy, but my girlfriends HTC One is perfect. This phone will definitely be the last phone I ever root/jailbreak.
[One (M7) General] Wrekk:
I have an HTC One :p

Have always wanted to be on Android, but never really got the "right" feeling for it... tried Samsung Galaxy Nexus when it came, later I tried Samsung Galaxy S3 4G. Thought that one would be a sure thing... seemed it was the android phone every one had.... but was really disappointed... most the poor body, and the sound?

Had an iPhone 5 at this point, got it from work as then hit the market. Had used ios devices before too. They where always smooth and worked.

I always did jailbreak my devices, so you could customize a lot.

But did a 3:rd try for Android, with the HTC ONE.

And this time I aint turning back, sure the build quality in apples products is hard to beat, and I like the screen size a bit more. Even if I have big hands I still feel most phones today are 2hands phones, more or less. Anyhow!

HTC ONE, is running really smooth, I have used a couple of roms, back with Viper at the moment with the ElementarX Kernel.

I never feel that my phone is slow or laggy. Using Nova Launcher.

Would like to run a stable CM 10.2 or 11 thou :)
[One (M7) General] Nokiacrazi:
I think I experienced this on stock ROM, when my phone was new you could say the smoothness gradually decreased as it filled up with rubbish I guess.

But on ARHD 40.3 I haven't had a problem. Been rocking this ROM since 40.3 was released and see no reason to upgrade or change. Happy where I am with performance and battery life.
[One (M7) General] ericiidx:
While I feel that 4.4/KitKat's new ART runtime does help smooth things out compared to Dalvik, I agree that it's not quite on par with iOS. This is just in scrolling action, though. I feel the One is plenty fast when it comes to processing power and touch response time.
[One (M7) General] sweetnsour:
I think it all depends on what you are comparing this phone to. My previous phone came out awhile ago, so of course the HTC One feels very smooth for me.

For me, the smoothest rom is vanilla Android, namely GPE. AOSP roms (like CM) seem to stutter when scrolling, such as in the Settings menu.

If you are comparing Android to iOS, however, there was a post a couple of years ago stating that it is because of how Android renders the interface that makes it laggier than iOS. This is not the post itself, but it breaks it down:

[One (M7) General] serzenus:
in my opinion,

Facebook or 3rd party integration is the problem; un-link facebook account or at least use your phone without internet connection (3G or wifi i mean) for testing.

I choose Touchwiz and I click ALWAYS (not once) ... this will work for few minutes, then next time I press the home button, same prompt comes up!!

I formatted my phone, but the problem disappeared for few days only then started again!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ShaneL:
Can anyone please help with a problem I have noticed on my Imate Jasjar. I have configured Push Email and mail is being received realtime as it should. My difficulty is when replying or sending a new email it will remain in the Outbox on the device until another new message arrives from the Exchange Server or a manual Sync is initiated on the device.

Is this normal behaviour?

I have ticked 'Send outgoing items immediately' under Schedule in ActiveSync settings but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Has anybody else noticed this?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rbmerlin:
Hi,

Did you find a resolution for this?

I have a XDA Mini and just set it up with DirectPus exchange. Emails are arriving on the device okay, but send items seem to sit in the outbox. They only go when I receive another email or force a sync.

Like you I have ticked the "Send immediately" box but that doesn't work.

This problem is making the directpush more or less useless as I keep forgetting to force a sync and then hours later realise why I haven't had a reply - it's still sat in the outbox!!

Help!

Merlin
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ShaneL:
Rbmerlin,

I found a solution - with no thanks to Imate or Microsoft though. (Both blamed each other for thee problem and no one wanted to take any responsibiity!)

The solution is to set ther ActiveSync on the device without using the PC ActiveSync. Initially I set up ActiveSync on the desktop and the settings propogated to the device which was synced.

By trial and error I discovered that when ActiveSync is setup on the Jasjar by itself all is good and the Sync functions as it had with previous non-push roms.

I have tried this with serveral of my customers devices and problem is resolved. Hoping rhis helps you out.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Beginning:
Sorry if this has been already asked, but what is the best android version for using an xperia play as an emulator.

Also, are there any other phones at have a dedicated gamepad like the xperia play.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRhyiku:
Either Gb or ICs, depending on the ROM really :)

also for the other phone theres this:

iReady Go Much i5s

I'll be buying one tomorrow.

It's slightly bigger than the xperia play (thers some images in the thread in the general section) but also more powerful.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbergnome:
I'd say GB. Everything is a lot faster, battery life is better. Touchpad support for PSX and N64 is not exclusive to ICS anymore, FPSE has it and so does Mupen64plus-ae. In particular that one has improved a lot over the years. The only thing ICS could have that GB doesn't have is N64oid with touchpad support, as it may run slightly faster. But you know, I played Ocarina of time from beginning to end on mupen and it was great, and that's not a light game. Also PPSSPP runs faster, I managed to finish Kingdom Hearts on it (using GKM touch to map the touchpads; it's an extremely light app). So yeah, I'm on the GB side :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Beginning:
Will I be able to play after getting the a game and emulator or do I need a custom rom?

Also how to I map the buttons and is there other ways to map the touchpads that are the analog sticks?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
That is the most hilarious name for a device.

---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:05 AM ----------

You don't need custom rom to run emulator. Stick with Gingerbread, it gives the best performance.

GameKeyboard app can map onscreen buttons to physical buttons.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbergnome:
In almost all the emulators you can easily map the physical buttons. Mupen64plus-ae and FPSE have touchpad support, so you can use touchpads as analog sticks without gamekeyboard (or rather GKM touch, a less cumbersome and much lighter version. You don't have to change keyboard everytime). GKM touch allows you to use touchpads as analog sticks or as a "camera pan", if you know what I mean.

The only other emulator that needs touchpads is PPSSPP, for that you still have to use GKM touch until they add touchpad support, but for many psp games you also need to overclock, so.. yeah.

Everything works perfectly in stock rom, but it would be ideal to at least root and get rid of all the bloatware and stuff. The Play is perfect for emulation; if you also want some android games there's over 500 that natively work with the gamepad. For others, you might want to use GKM touch.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Beginning:
Are there anyother emulators that require you to overclock and if there are, which one are they?

Also, how do you overclock and is it safe to do so?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubbergnome:
Nothing really "requires" you to overclock. It's just that in its current state, the PSP emulator needs overclock to run heavy games fullspeed. I bet some light PSP games can run fullspeed at stock clock without problems. Every other emulator I tried (and I tried almost all of them, heaviest included) runs perfectly fine at stock clock. The newly released Dreamcast emulator runs only on ICS though, and it may need some overclock for heavy games... but I don't know about that. To overclock you need to unlock the bootloader and install a custom kernel, like lupus, doomkernel, or stock kernel modified with overclock. Then you need a cpu control app like setcpu or nofrillscpu control to adjust maximum and minimum clock frequencies and set governors to regulate the cpu frequency. I only used overclock at 1.6 ghz to play kingdom hearts on PPSSPP, and I didn't have any problems (that was like 6 months ago), but some users have reported performance issues after heavy overclocking (like one year straight at 1.6 ghz). Just use it if you absolutely need it and I think it will be fine. :) but if you don't want to play PSP games (or if PPSSPP gets better and better) you won't need any of that stuff. The other emulators run great, even NDS, PSX and N64 as I wrote before.
