[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdub01984:
Does the Fire TV have Bluetooth keyboard/mouse support? I currently have my firetv rooted, but have not frozen the fire tv launcher and utilized the settings.apk. Are these steps necessary to utilize a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse or is the keyboard.mouse compatible out of the box?

I am considering buying one of these on Amazon, and need to know if it would make more sense to use the 2.4 ghz wireless model instead?

Thanks in advance for the help.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PacoBell:
Ya know, I have that same question. The consensus on the Internet seems to be that bluetooth pairing only works with certain whitelisted devices like their own controllers, Moga, etc. I dunno if there is or can be a root solution that gets rid of this whitelist, but that'd be awesome. In the meantime, the workaround is to install a wireless USB keyboard/mouse dongle to the USB port and it should just work out of the box.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schneid:
I recommend this as it has its own dongle and a Win "Context" key which equals "Menu" in FireTV:

Bummer. price went up I paid $19.99 last week.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vortox:
Everything works including mouse?

Does it work with Firefox?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schneid:
Yes but the price has jumped again. Haven't specifically tried it with Firefox but no reason it won't work. Scrolling works with two-finger drags. Price has almost doubled in a week. I guess it got discovered. A harmony remote with FLIRC works, an MS Entertainment KB/Mouse works, and DroidMote works. Lots of options.

What is the best way to backup the EFS on this phone? TWRP and Philz Recoveries for this phone don't offer it. So I guess ADB would be the only option? I would like the backup to be in an editable or mountable format.

Hey everyone,

Yesterday I tried to charge my HTC One by connecting it to my computer. It never had any problem charging up before.

When I plugged it in, my computer connected and then immediately disconnect my phone, when all of the sudden my phone showed up the message "Phone is in USB host mode - Unable to charge phone while in host mode". I must repeat what I wrote:

I never had this problem before until yesterday.

The only way for me to charge my phone is by going into recovery mode, wiping cache and plug it into AC power.

I don't know what's the problem and I sure can use any help of any kind.

Thanks a bunch in advance :)

Try a new cable.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmyMan007:
It has nothing to do with the cable, since I tried using a different cable (my old Xperia Play charging cable) and that didn't work either. And my current HTC cable does charge my phone when I plug it to AC power
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmyMan007:
Please help
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
first of all, the only 3rd party cable ive found to work with HTC is some Samsung device cables, the layout of the cables which is usually 4 or 5 sometimes more inside the actual cable itself is different, never known a Sony cable to work, they are not built to be universal across all phones.

Basically inside the HTC cable you will have 5 volt+, 5 volt-, data+, Data- and usually some sort of ground, plus surrounded by a foil shield, then plastic coated which is the cable you see.

With it charging on AC just means your 5 volt + and - is ok, doesn't mean the data is ok, it couild be shorting out or anything if its damaged.

Worst case its the charging port in the phone, so I personally would try the cheapest option first.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmyMan007:
So.. what are my options? The way I see it, I have 3 options:

1) Use a Samsung charging cable

2) If step 1 fails, repair it at a local repair shop

3) If step 2 fails, keep charging it for life on AC power

Though I don't understand: is it for sure a problem within the phone and has nothing to do with computer drivers? I just want to make sure that if I have it repaired I might as well get all the information I can get
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
try a new cable first, they cost penny's, sounds more like the cable to me as you said in your first post your computer picked it up at first and then suddenly changed to AC mode.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmyMan007:
My computer never "changed" it to AC mode, it's just that I can only charge it using AC power :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmyMan007:
UPDATE:

Tried to charge with my computer using a Samsung Galaxy cable, didn't work either.

Does that mean I have to take it to a repair shop?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ayyu3m:
I had a similar problem and i thought my htc had gone defect in the usb port. but for that to happen i needed assurance it was not a pc usb driver/software related issue.

when i installed and removed htc sync manager my phone no longer showed the internal storage. and plus i plug in all sorts of usb drivers and pens to PC

so i formatted my pc to a clean start. plugged in htc one and it worked straight away showing my internal storage

my advice is dont install htc sync manager...it has a habit of messing up the port software wise.

so do a format of your pc or plug to a another laptop/pc or friends laptop/pc

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KOBRETI:
Hi, guys, I installed the latest version of DN3 on my 4.4.2 Note 2.

I didn't like the swipe up gesture on the home screen, so I uninstalled the app that was opening - I thing it was AnyApp or something like that. But now when I swipe up or even if I press the Home button when I am on the Home screen, obviously there is something remembered, because there is a message "Application not installed", then Google Play opens and says "Item Not Found".

Can you help me where to clear the settings, so that this gesture is deactivated? Or at least where to get the app so that maybe I disable it from there?

P.S. I found the apk in the ROM file and installed, but this behaviour continues ;( Any idea?

Is there a detailed guide someone has made for installing to the stock that I have not found, if so would be great if someone could point me to it thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supermaxkato:
Have you flashed the sprint sph-l-520 s4 mini? Then PLEASE help me!

The 2 issues are: no sim card error, and voicemail notifications stop working.

1) LTE data sim card errors

I’m not using LTE; is there a way to disable the lte sim tray entirely? Because if I don’t put a used sprint lte sim card in then I get the “no-sim card” error.

But even if I put one in, after a few minutes it gives me the “network did not respond” error and then eventually goes back to the “no-sim card” error.

I know I can hide it through a build prop edit but I don’t want to do that because of issue number two:

2) I use the voicemail notifier apk downloaded here from xda and it works great.

But it stops working whenever I get the above sim card error.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosanoguera:
Hey there, I just switched from Nexus 5 to Htc One (I didn't like the Htc One m8)

now you say: why?

1. better quality

2. better camera from what I've been testing

3. slightly smaller screen (but NO onscreen buttons which I really like) and slightly slower processor and gpu (which it results on half a second when loading games which I never play)

4. although same battery power better battery length in htc one (I imagine its because of smaller screen and less powerfull processor + the nexus 5 have small issues with battery management

5. I already own a nexus 7 2013 to emulate the android apps I develop which is much more easy than testing them on a smaller screen like the nexus 5.

I have very good memories from the htc legend it was a beast!

Now, this phone is free (no carrier)

If I install cm11 (after testing all the other roms I always go back to cm11), will I loose the camera qualities? (for example in xperia Z if you installed a custom rom with unlocked bootloader you lost bravia engine and camera quality was reduced)

what roms do you reccommend and are the most used/updated?

While attempting to manually update to 4.4.3 on s-on, i gut stuck in fastboot mode. ive relocked the bootloader for flashing firmware now im stuck.

i cant unlock it again because htcdev says that my password is incorrect. ive tried to restore my password many times but it doesnt work.

i think ill go to the repair center tomorrow or is it possible to get it working without unlocked bootloader? Thx.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
You don't need to go to htcdev to unlock a second time. They should have sent you a .bin file the first time for unlocking. This is all you need to unlock. It doesn't change. And why did you s-on? You don't need to.

I've tried everything, but nothing seems to make Waze and Google Maps works. I've always used Waze in my car, but since the KK update I can't manage to make it work. When I use GPS Test I can find many satellites and even get a lock. :( The only thing I find odd is the accuracy of 200ft, witch I think is too big. Now comes the curious part: When I open the GPS Test app, keeping Waze in background, Waze gets a lock and I get all the voice directions. When I bring Waze back on screen, it looses the GPS signal again. :confused: I’ve tried everything from Stock Rom, Bobcat Rom, Hyperdrive Rom, X-Note Rom, and nothing. Always wiping cache, Dalvik, etc. I’ve tried many apps like GPS Status, TopTnp, GPS Test, Faster GPS, etc. Nothing changes. The last thing I did is a procedure on the system (*#0011#, reseting the NV), but again nothing. I live in São Paulo, Brazil, and God knows the caos of traffic here, so I really need Waze. It’s been a month now, and I don’t know what to do. You guys are my last hope. :fingers-crossed:

Waze GPS not working Resolved.

I tried all the codes and apps and even tightening the screws, but nothing was working. It was when I took the phones back off and looked inside that I found the answer.

Now that my Waze GPS is working again after being out of action for over 3 months, I thought I would share my Waze GPS fix with everyone by making a quick youtube video,

I can't yet put a link here so just search youtube for 'Waze No GPS - Resolved'

I've captured the OTA zip for XT1052 India 4.4.4 update.

Instructions (You should be on android 4.4.2)

For both locked and unlocked bootloaders

1. Place the downloaded file in sdcard

2. Don't rename the file, it should be exactly as it is

3. Rooted users make sure you're as close to stock as possible

4. Go to settings-> about-> system updates

5. It will prompt to install the update

Download XT1052 India 4.4.4 OTA
[Moto X General] ron_gangte:
Could you post the stock recovery image of the 4.4.2 ROM, please?
[Moto X General] 25scarface:
Sorry, I don't have that right now.
[Moto X General] ron_gangte:
Thanks anyway. It'd be awesome if someone who has it posted. Anyone?
[Moto X General] devilsdouble:
Yep, the update just popped up. How do you capture it by the way? What's the path?
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
/cache - find it w/Root Explorer, or similar.
[Moto X General] devilsdouble:
There are three folders under cache, backup, lost+found and recovery, none of them contain the update.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
You already installed it? Once you install it, the file is erased - forever. All OTAs are this way. You MUST extract it before you install it.

Confirm: Did you install it or not? Also, if not - has it downloaded completely?

EDIT: I'll take your lack of response as you confirming that you did install it...
[Moto X General] Hitesh1802:
I am downloading ota update my phone is rooted so should i unroot it first and remove xposed framework.. reply??
[Moto X General] ron_gangte:
Yes, un-root, and remove all traces of having rooted. That includes any changes done to your System Files which Xposed might have done. You will have to flash the stock recovery too.
[Moto X General] Hitesh1802:
thanks for the reply mate i have removed su by app option full unroot yes i am on stock recovery and uninstalled all modules and xposed framework..

after update i have to done that again..

Due to this i miss my old Samsung device just flash and you are on...
[Moto X General] devilsdouble:
No, my lack of response was because of the reading I was doing here on XDA as why I wasn't seeing the OTA zip file under cache. Then I realized that I did not download the OTA, I thought that it was downloaded already as I had data on and it was just asking me to whether it should install or not.

Now I downloaded the OTA, and it's there under cache folder, and now at a safe place on my desktop.

I would never install it on my phone without flashing back stock ROM again anyway. I like to do things fresh.
[Moto X General] samwathegreat:
Good Deal. Thanks for clarifying, and glad you were able to extract it. :good:

I can relate -- I also prefer to always "do things fresh" ;)
[Moto X General] devilsdouble:
Thanks. It's always nice to have the latest of Android. The new dialer is meaningless for me, again, it just changed it's viewing type, nothing else has been changed!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steffenbakke:
Okay so I've been a silly billy, when I was going to bed last night, I took my phone with me (turned out to be a bad idea), so after some time browsing the web I fell asleep, I've done this plenty of times without anything happening to the phone, but this time, it didn't go very well. So what I've think caused it was the heat from my body, and the point that I was half laying on it some of the night. But anyhow, the problem is the following. So when I woke up, I took my phone and turned on the screen, all seemed normal, except when I was pressing on the screen nothing happend, so I was checking if it was frozen by pressing the power button and got up the power menu as normal, so the screen must have been "defect", I now understood how silly I was bringing it with me to bed. But, I thought it would just need some hours, to get back to normal, so I pulled the battery, and took it out, and letted the phone lay for itself some hours. When I went back to it, it wouldn't even bring back light to the screen, I could sense it turned on as it vibrated, and it showed there was a nortification by blinking, but it simply wouldn't turn the screen on. Or atleast that's what I think it is. Now I've concluded it can't be a software issue as it doesn't even show bootanimation (whatsoever), but the nortification led works. It can't be anything related to battery neither as it boots up and so on, tried to switch the battery with my replacement one though just incase, samething happend. But the weird thing is, there's no marks on the screen itself, it doesn't seem to have recieved any pressure on it, which has caused the screen not working, also it worked earlier today, just without touch ofc. So any of you guys got an idea? Should I try to go deep into the device and check if the screen is alright ( open the device itself), I don't have an guarentee on the phone, as it expired for half a year ago. Also, I can't afford the cost of the easy way out by getting the screen replaced, atleast not at this point.

Any help would be appreciated

[General Topics] TheCritic:
Figured I'd post this where some developers might actually see it. Please let me know if anything already exists to do what I'm looking for.

I Just got a new 8525 (USA carrier: Cingular, slightly modified HTC TyTN) and love it so far. BUT there are a couple things I'd love to change...

The FIRST is disabling the flashing notification LEDs, there's two around the front earpiece, the one on the right flashes green for cellular network connectivity and is on solid when charging (orange then green when charged). On the left is one that flashes blue for BT but green for WiFi.

There's already an effort at MoDaCo BUT it also disables vibrate. Need to keep vibrate and ideally would like to keep the ability for the phone to use the LEDs for notifications (voice mail, call missed, etc). Even in my shirt pocket the flashing is always catching my eye.

Next, I'd really like a way to send all audio to a simple BT earphone (i.e. not an AD2P stereo jobbie) for listening to podcasts, audio books, etc unobtrusively. There's something out there called BTAudio, but it doesn't seem to work on this device. When I run it there's noise audible in the earphone, but audio through media player still comes out of the speaker, not the earphone.

Seems this would be useful for all HTCs (and any others?) with slide out keyboards: a way to disable the popup of the onscreen keyboard. An example: I'll open something that requires text entry, the keyboard pops up, I slide the phone open, the onscreen keyboard goes away, I enter stuff into the field then go on to the next one, and the d_mn onscreen keyboard will often popup again, which is very annoying because if covers much of the screen especially in landscape.

--Maybe a way to link disabling the popup to being in landscape?? Would just as soon keep the on-screen button for the keyboard though, with it's notifications for shift and blue dot...

Well, is there any hope?
