Hello

Would someone be able recommend a USB hub for me since I do not know much about this subject myself.

I don't fancy having to plug it into the mains every time I want to use a keyboard. I saw this http://www.amazon.co.uk/NEWLink-Port-Self-Powered-N14320/dp/B001GXR6XO . It says it's self powered , but do self powered ones provide enough power to use a keyboard , mouse and a flash drive simultaneously?

Any help would be appreciated

Hey ...

I am trying to use my keyboard to enter german text into an sms or email and it keeps correcting my "im" to "I'm". Is there any way to make it use a german dictionary instead of the default english one? This works for transcriber if I install the german version supplied by Microsoft but I really need this for the keyboard too .... anyone have an idea how to solve this?

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathmarcher:
Got the OTA today, and since Wallet's tap to pay was one of the main draws of KitKat for me, I gave it a shot. I was at a Home Depot, input pin, selected the card I wanted to use within the app, tapped the device... then the cashier gets a message on their screen saying "Tap and pay not allowed". I tried again after selecting a different card in the app, but got the same result. I know it should work at this store, since the same process works fine when I use Wallet on my Nexus 7. Do I maybe need to install the apk from the Nexus 5 that's floating around out there? Anyone else have the same issue, or maybe no issues?

Edit:

Tried it again the next day and got the same result, until I used a regular register. I had been trying it at the self checkout yesterday, but it seems for whatever reason, the SCO doesn't like tap and pay! Worked fine at the regular cash register. I'll leave this post here, in case it's useful to anyone else later on.

Good day xda,

My problem is that, after I installed a Custom ROM (specifically the lastest of CM11 nightly), I'm having a lot of errors like "Unfortunately, LG Keyboard AOSP bla bla bla has stop", "Unfortunately, phone has stopped", "Unfortunately, com.googleapps. bla bla bla has stopped" and my back button does not work anymore. I also tried their stable release and I got a lot of errors too, back button not working and keyboard not working so I cannot type a message. Of course I also installed gapps. I tried their stable release because I thought it's "stable" and now I am back at the stock rom.

What should I do? :(

Thanks man. Will try this. Feedback later.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Ronald07:
Just want a feedback. I already installed a custom rom cm-10.2.0 with gapps for Android 4.3 and it works fine. What I want is to have my apps and data and pictures be in my new custom roms. I tried to flashed the "update.zip" provided in TB but only the apps are restored and the data on it didn't restore. Same goes to pictures, contacts and messages.

Guys, please let me know if:

1. Is it possible to moved or installed to a new custom rom and restore ALL your data from your previous rom including, pictures, contacts, messaging data, the apps and the data?

2. Is it possible to update the custom rom?

Please help me. I'm a newbie in android.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Ronald07:
Help me please.
[LG Optimus G (International)] naveenii1991:
Hey bro ,yes you can have old data but not the apps but they carry space on your phone ....you can later explore them through apps like ES File Explorer which can be found in play store....you can have data which is present in your internal memory storage but none of your apps after flashing as it is fresh ROM

all you need to do is unchecked your internal storage while flashing the ROM

PS if you find lots of errors in the ROM ..try different ROM ..Stock is best if you ask me personally ..you can get the stock ROM in forums :)

Try and let me know

Hello

I need some help to root my phone, i tried some guides but they seem to perhaps, be outdated. the z4 tool does not work, i cannot find the fishpig application. I tried the oneclick program, but only freezes. I cannot enter recovery mode, it freezes at FTM logo.

I've tried formating the phone several times, but not luck.

Thanks in advance.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortambo:
Okay so just got my Thunderbolt rooted the other day. (Thanks to the santod and disconnecktie!)

I went on and flashed stock ICS just so I could have a workable phone until I had time to sit down and look at other ROMS. So searching around I found CyanogenMod, and it seems neat but apparently doesn't work on the Thunderbolt.

So what is a good alternative. I'm honestly not really sure what I'm looking for at this point other than doing cool stuff with my phone. All the stuff you can do in Cyanogen seemed pretty awesome.

Thanks in advance.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
The best alternative to have a decently usable phone would be unsense over at Infected.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortambo:
Okay, this leads to another couple of questions in the interest of not messing up...

What does this mean?

"The Add-ons that YOU MUST flash after the rom has booted once are also being updated.

Please redownload them when you download the rom. "

Does it do this automatically? Do I need to flash a bunch of stuff?

And this..I think the only thing I have installed is OTA killer, but shouldn't basically everything be wiped?

"No mods made for the stock rom should be flashed to these custom roms. "

Or is it just not to install anything after you flash the ROM?

Sorry if this has already been asked, but couldn't find a thread that answered my question clearly.

I rooted using MotoRoot to do the entitlement hack. Is there anything I need to do in order to install the 4.4 ota update, and avoid bricking my phone?

I'd love to keep root but since I'm a newb at this I think I'll wait for an easier method (hopefully). The pwnmymoto method looks like I can make tons of mistakes and be screwed.

If your rooted be careful.....

Hey I WAS rooted on 4.2.2 like you were except I used RockMyMoto to root it. Be careful when installing the update because when I tried installing the update the phone when absolutely crazy!! It kept on rebooting on it's own for 8 hours non stop and I couldn't factory reset or boot into recovery. Personally I would factory reset before you install this update to avoid any problems with your phone but if you don't BEWARE...... :rolleyes:
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlmesq:
That's what happens when you don't follow up on the forums!

You should NEVER take an OTA update on a rooted phone.

After rooting with RockMyMoto on 4.2.2, you remove root protection with MotoWpNoMo, reflash stock 4.2.2 with HouseOfMoto, then run the SlapMyMoto steps -- some of them before flashing the update, and some of them after.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoser42:
No easy solution

The files modified are packed into the boot.img file of the ROM. Therefore there is no easy way to provide a zip to flash and overwrite/update these files after flashing a new ROM.

I had entered the following into the terminal app and was able to get read/write access to the webos media folder:

su

busybox mount /dev/mapper/store-media /data/media/legacy

You should see the .palm folder and other files in /data/media/legacy from within android.

Instead I recommend deleting all files from LOST.DIR (recycle bin) in WebOS and then using Tailor to resize the /media partition down to 400mb and add the remaining space to /data as milaq suggested. This should negate the need to access it from android.

Jim
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laspero:
Excellent Job. You are right, I see no reason do continue using this partition. I was just wondering how it could be done.

could also use the native command

mount -t vfat /dev/mapper/store-media /data/media/legacy
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoser42:
Thanks for the comments and creating the thread. I suggested creating a thread with someone else on milaq's thread since I thought it was off topic. I was using the native mount syntax early in my efforts but it was the last two parameters that were the problem.

Perhaps someone might try copying the boot.img from and earlier rom into a current rom but I have no idea if it is mostly the same or different every build. I wasn't willing to risk it but someone else may weigh in on that one. I think the changes should be in the ramcache part of boot.img.

I'm not saying it's impossible in a flashable zip but would demand a lot of time to a solution I have no intention of using. :)

---------- Post added at 04:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

It occurred to me that a "mini" build could be created that only changed the appropriate files but it would have to be kept up to date and runs counter to what milaq is trying to accomplish. I saw that some apps were even storing their data in the sdcard1(webos) folder so it was confusing android as it was. Also, I meant ramdisk and not ramcache in my previous post. My bad.

btw I branched miliq's build code and got to step 9 of 10 of cm's build instructions before running into trouble, just for the knowledge of what goes into it.

I'm curious to knowing if there is a mod to double tap the screen to screen on like the xperia z tab or LG g2?
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] XtremeMaC:
hi there

as of yesterday i accidentally dropped a jack splitter (like this one.. (click here) onto my pda2 from 1 meter..

at first i thought everything was okay

but then i realized that the touchscreen was not working.. the buttons are working..

though i hesitated that it'd never work again, after taking my imate apart and after i put it all together it worked for 10 mins.. then it stopped working again.. this morning it did the same, worked then stopped..

so my questions are:

1. can it be something other than the touchscreen? there is a small dent on the screen but the image on my today screen is displayed correctly..

2. if i really have to change the screen where would i buy 1?

i found this one but i want to have more options if there is

[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] fluffcat1:
Touchscreens are replaceable but make sure you buy the correct one, as the screen in Alpine is only one of 2 that could possibly have been fitted in Himalayas i.e a touchscreen for an xda2 is not guarenteed to be compatible with the LCD you have.

Depending on LCM, you could look into a repair of the exisiting digitiser, is the screen marked in any way where the item hit it?

Richard

p.s don't bump so quickly - do your research more thoroughly - you're not the first person to suffer this problem...
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] XtremeMaC:
yes there is a small dent on the screen

i know i searched the forum but maybe i'm searching with wrong terms.. not much came up.

i don't know any other websites than the pdasmart.....
[PDA2, XDA IIi, 2020i General] fluffcat1:
Then you need a new digitiser, the gap between the touchpanel and glass in the digitiser is reduced where the dent is, so the resistance properties of the digitiser have changed at that point i.e it will think you are always touching that spot. You could remove the plastic overlay, heat it gently and try and bend it back / flatten it but I've tried and never managed to do it :(

Most places only sell the entire LCD / touchscreen assembly, cheapest I can get for an alpine is about $140 USD for the lot, perhaps check ebay for a unit with a broken LCD?

[Moto X Q&A] alpha-niner64:
It's factory-unlocked out the gate. What you'll eventually have to consider is what frequencies you'll need for what areas. The only difference as far as the world is concerned is whether or not you need the 1700MHz band for HSDPA/HSPA or you need the 850MHz band for LTE. If you need the former, but not the latter: go for the TMO/SIM-unlocked version, if vice versa then the Verizon version is better (AT&T is the same as Verizon but it's locked).

The problem is that i didnt see any performance boost or stability ..it lags more than stock.

even Antutu score decreased by 50-100. ( Before CM11 Was 4056 , i see also people claim to hit 4500+ on other threads )

Maybe its ram? i dont know because i didnt checked the proccesses before.

There are many apps run in background without even running them and i cant greenify them cause they are stock apps and i ned paid version.

,Google+ , Google Search , Google Services , Settings , DSP Manager etc.

what do you guys do in order to boost the performance? iam sure there are plenty things to do except fake app boosters,ram cleaners etc.

Cm11 still work in progress. Still a long way to go.

Have you change the processor speed, governor, io sched, etc? If not, try to install performance control.

If still not satisfied, downgrade to cm10.1 or cm10.2. They said its much stable but still some little bugs. Or try slimbean 4.0.1, the most stable of all custom rooms but but maintained anymore.

Then you can also try stock simple blue by snx ics but modified by szymel0, got good feedback from users. Or maybe stock v20 rom by szymel0, its also good.
