That's not really what I meant, it's noth8ng to do with the controller profile, every controller just looks up, whether it's the mouse and keyboard or my wired xbox controller, I dint have a Sony console, so buying a dualshock would be a waste. Have you got a fix for the looking up problem?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] VDub2625:
Hey all,

I am searching furiously but I thought it might be a good idea to ask directly too.

So i smashed my phone today. Touch does not work, but I can see it. I think getting a replacement won't be difficult, but until then, I have files both in storage and app data that I would like to recover. Since I have TWRP, the recovery is touch and I can't access anything in it. I cant unlock the phone, so I can't get stuff off of the storage either. I think Droid Explorer can help with that, but do I need USB debugging? I am pretty sure I turned it off for some stupid reason. How could I use ADB to extract the app data files?

Thanks! I'll keep on searching and post an answer if I find one!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Whiplashh:
Try booting into download/bootloader mode or whatever it is called (sorry, I have had so many brands of android. They all call it something different.) And try flashing a clockworkmod based recovery. Then you can use the buttons to navigate the the storage / access ADB through recovery.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VDub2625:
Thank you for the help. I do already have a recovery on it, TeamWin whatever-it-is 2.6.3, it's touch based :(
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Whiplashh:
You can still flash over that, if you can get into download mode, then replace it with CWM. No screen needed.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VDub2625:
Duh! I feel stupid. I didn't think of that.

I don't think I'm familiar with the recovery via download mode? I have done a lot with the phone but can't recall if I've used download mode for that (just for installing BINs). I'll look around, thanks!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] VDub2625:
In case anyone's curious, I got confused myself. it isn't Download Mode you need, it's fastboot. Then use the fastboot program in the Android SDK to flash a non-touch CWM. Thanks again for the advice!

PS I can't seem to egt Droid Explorer to work (it installs, I tell it where the sdk folder is, but then when i run it it says it can't find it). I'm going to try to update my sdk and see if that helps, but I should be able to use ADB to transfer too, i think? How would I save data from the "data" partition 9app data vs. storage data)?

Hello there,

Wondering if I have XBMC in my AFTV may I install the SPMC and have both installed?

What's the best way to do it without causing any future problems in my AFTV?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] collindv:
Yes, they coexist fine I think (each has it's own separate data folder). I have a thread on here somewhere where I updated from XBMC to spmc that has some information.

[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregorcarbine:
Hey all, so I recently spent some time learning up on these awesome forums, and at least for getting started I decided to just modify stock 2.2, I have just really wanted to be able to play games using my ps3 controller on my nook so I thought the easiest path was to root using the Universal Rev3, and the Unknown Apps, at least to get me started. I have a bluetooth keyboard I also use with this setup for school. Okay so that's the upfront details.

My issue is that, while my bluetooth is connecting fine with everything before I run sixaxis, and my controller works (yay, i got what i wanted!) while I'm running the program, it's when I stop sixaxis and it restores my bluetooth (or says it does... or gets stuck and never says it does) my bluetooth simply can't be switched back on until after I reboot... I've completely stopped and disabled and cleared the cache on the sixaxis app... and nothing, still won't turn back on. Now this is a cadillac issue, my controller works, my keyboard works, but I just have to reset. The problem is that I know it shouldn't be this way and if it has to be, I'll survive, but if not I'd love a way to make it work right, or at the very least see if there's an option to... "respring" (I know that's an iphone thing I just didn't know if there was a faster equivalent to a reboot without having to completely turn it off and back on)?

Anyone else had this problem? Any thoughts? Any options? Thanks for your time and information, have a great day!

"t's when I stop sixaxis and it restores my bluetooth (or says it does... or gets stuck and never says it does) my bluetooth simply can't be switched back on until after I reboot..."

Obviously, its at the fault of the app, because otherwise (sixaxis not installed/used) bluetooth would function properly and no restart would be required.

Therefore, sixaxis is not ending support of the controller properly, re-enabling bluetooth support, or whatever its trying to do for the device, android version, or whatever its problem is in code.

Probably good to let the app's dev know about it and find out if they say anything.

Since root access is required, it definitely requires some deeper access to android (the deeper the more problems are likely to occur). Some code doesn't even work for all devices and they could have gone that route with their app knowingly - whether it was a necessary side effect due to the type of app they created or specifically because of a workaround of what google allows devs to do with android.

Either way it is often an app with problems as reviews show.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregorcarbine:
Hey thanks a ton for the information. I had started to suspect that but since I'm a noob here I thought it was best to ask. Will contact the developer. But hey for now if all I have to do is a reset after a gaming session to make all things right, it's not so bad. Thanks again!

EDIT: Okay, so after doing some fiddling with my own Nook HD+ it looks like the Nook itself has trouble shutting down bluetooth! When I go into my battery use bluetooth is staying on permanently after initially turning it on. The time continues to run no matter what I do or shutdown with Android Task Manger. And it appears I'm not the only one. http://bookclubs.barnesandnoble.com...Bluetooth-won-t-turn-off-Nook-HD/td-p/1462091

Also since mine is rooted and has unknown sources installed I felt like I needed a control group. So I borrowed my wifes Nook HD+ which is completely stock, no mods at all... and it does the exact same thing... This is mind boggling. Could a few people turn their bluetooth on long enough to register in their battery monitor, then turn it off, and tell me if their time is still running for the bluetooth? It would really help me identify whether this a software problem with Nook software, or it's a hardware issue that they had amongst several models and they shipped with bad parts, etc. Thanks!

It could also be this or similar: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=69135

Quote, "Problem: When turning off the Jawbone, it causes the Bluetooth(BT) to misbehave and not turn off nor function."

...Though that's for android 4.4.2 and nook 2.2 is android 2.2... wow that's old... that could of course be it as well - if the problem is with android, it could have been fixed in a later android version.

In the end, it doesn't appear to have to do with the device itself, but perhaps with that android version's bluetooth package or an installed app. And which android version (if any) would work for you idk. I remember people saying cm and sixaxis didn't work with bluetooth on the nook in the past, so if that's still the case, don't know that either.

I'm not sure how far back many apps are going today with android versions but something like: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.myklos.btautoconnect&hl=en

could possibly do something(?). But, I'm just reaching there for anything in the you never know category.

But hopefully that gives a better picture as to what it could be. Sorry, I can't give an actual [working] solution, though for all I know I gave a path to the only solution.
[General Questions and Answers] Arcenturion:
On Tuesday, my phone started restarting periodically without any input from me, so I decided to look up a solution on the web. There was one recommendation for me to boot into recovery mode and clear my cache, but in doing so I think I wiped out the contents of my SD Card.

I am using TWRP as my means of recovery. It has been on my phone for months now, because I used to dabble in changing my device's OS. The version number I'm using is

v2.7.1.1

On my bootloader (HBOOT), some more potentially necessary info:

K2_CL

HBOOT-2.21.0000

Right now, I am able to both boot into the bootloader and recovery, but when I normally power up my device, it gets stuck on the HTC animation. In TWRP, it indicates that there is "No OS installed" whenever I get the option to reboot my device.

I am able to push zip files on my device with adb, but lately my phone has also had trouble utilizing its USB connection. This might be merely a problem with my computer, because my USB drives haven't been working either. So, I can only use adb to push them onto my SD Card. For now, at least...

Here are the sources of the zip files I tried to use: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2562236

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2734434

When I go into TWRP to install a zip, it takes literally less than two seconds to report a success. I know that isn't supposed to happen, because it typically took more than a few minutes before, and because it's supposed to report an error. When I look into my reboot options, there still isn't an OS installed, and my phone still doesn't work properly. However, it lately also reports that it can't mount /data and /cache. This happens every time I try to install a .zip.

For now, I'm looking for answers to these 2 questions:

1. Is it possible to even restore my phone to working order? I've bricked my phone once before, but at the time I was able to rely on backups and the fact that TWRP didn't lie about its installations.

2. Where can I acquire Stock ROMs for Boost Mobile? I'm not sure if I've been using the proper sources for my .zip files. My HTC One SV was fully updated before it bricked, just so you guys now.

hey folks,

i've come accross a pretty annoying bug i think. when i open a wap webpage with pocket ie i cant jump from link to link with the dpad or the scroll wheel. it just scrolls down the webpage. this means i always have to pull out the pen when i surf on wap pages which is kind of annoying. on regular html pages i dont have any problems selecting links via the dpad or the scroll wheel.

oh, and before the hermes i had an mda2 running wm05 and it also worked perfect there.

am i the only one with this problem? are there any sollutions?

i tried searching the forum but couldnt find anything.

greets

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] _4saken_:
am I really the only one with this problem? or is everyone having this problem and there ist just no solution?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
Yeah, it's something I've noticed too. Really odd. Opera Mobile handles links in WAP pages fine though, you can scroll through links with the scroll wheel and d-pad just like web pages with it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I just tried mine. Cant remember last time I was at a Wap site.

Anyway I had no problems both Scroll and DPad scrolled down each and every link.

I don't suppose you have changed any settings in the likes of Tweaks2k2 to do with smooth scrolling. (Although even if you had I would have thought it would change regular sites also)

The BBC Mobile (PDA) page has some links to WAP pages (the Video Headlines is currently only available inside the UK, but it's nothing you can't already watch online via Ben Metcalfe's BBC News AV Flattener site (a VERY cool work in progress). However, you can load some of the other WAP links, I use it to test connectivity if I'm in a situation where I need to... URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/pda/

Ben Metcalfe's site: http://bbcnews.benmetcalfe.com/ (there's no pretty interface yet, you just load the html files up inside the directory listing, they're regenerated every so often automatically by PHP script and cronjob).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Yeah, I'll have a look at these - not bothered about pretty interface particularly as I often use GPRS with no special tariff (reeeeely expensive) but I don't seem to have the problem of not being able to scroll to the links so it appears either I or you and 4saken have changed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] _4saken_:
I didnt change anything in the registry. I had this problem both with the original german rom from o2 and now with the newest english htc rom.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] christopherwoods:
The ability to scroll through links on a page is limited to web pages only, Pocket IE's ability to scroll WSP:// protocol pages is, by default, restricted to only scrolling up and down the page.

To be honest, I'll just bop a link with my finger if I want to load it, it's not that hard and I prefer smooth scrolling up and down a page anyway (I read a lot of long articles on sites such as The Register and the browser screen constantly diving from left to right, jumping down huge amounts to the next link really bugs me). You must have some kind of addon or third-party application which reintroduces the ability to scroll through links in wap pages, because by default that's not possible.

To start, I am a newb and my sincerely apologizes for my ignorance.

I bricked my YP-G1 player trying to flash a kit kat rom on it.

At this point I bought a jig and restored it with odin.

The current problem -

No touch functions work. All the hard buttons work fine but the touch screen does nothing along with the back and home button, etc.

At one point I had it working with the touch screen almost as if it was inverted in regard to accepting the input.

Did I do something that fried the hardware or is this a software issue. I greatly appreciate your guys help.

The last things I did to get it working:

I used a jig to get to download mode then Odin to flash one of the many roms available (including stock)

I tried custom kernels like steve's and also no luck

Hi there,

I used Heimdall 1.4.0 on windows 7. I tried all the attempts with heimdall to get the drivers with zadig.exe, etc. I was was able to detect the device but get this:

Heimdall v1.4.0

Initialising connection...

Detecting device...

ERROR: Failed to access device. libusb error: -12

The furthest I get anywhere is doing the following:

Using Odin3 v1.85

I check Re-partiation, autoreboot, and f. reset time. Then I use the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 U.S. 8gb.pit pit file found on forum. I flash the YPG1USRestoreOdin.tar.md5 by clicking under the PDA section.

This gets me to boot with the samsung logo and little chime. Then I go all the way through and boot to the OS. At that point no touch functions work at all, including the menu button, home screen or back button.

So i was thinking, is it a kernel issue? Does the kernel tell the touch screen to work?

So then I go back to download mode by taking out battery and placing it back in with a jig

Now i flash steve's kernal (STevEs-3.0-USA.tar) successfully and still no touch functions

SO THEN:

Instead I try STeVEs-3.0-EU.tar kernel and I get touch functions that are not mapped correctly.

That is the best that I have been able to get it to function.

:(

I don't use heimdall 1.4.0 because I find it a bit too complicated. I guess you can try following my instructions found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51762484, since you have a Galaxy Player 4.0 (YP-G1) and see if that lets you get the drivers installed correctly. I can't comment on if it controls touch screen controls, but why did you need to use a USB jig to go back to download mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] nirmalbk:
Hi there,

I did exactly what you recommended. Successfully reinstalled OS however same issue, touch does nothing. I cant seem to boot into recovery so thats why have have been using the jig to go into download mode to reflash stuff. I just dont understand... when I used a different custom kernel I only had the ability to use the touch function in a weird way, it appeared as though it was inverted.... If you have any other thoughts please let me know. I thank you for your help already.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Wow that is weird. Have you tried using the other 2 kernels for our player, which are Klin's R3 and Terraailent? I find it odd that the EU kernel gave that back. Also it seems that your recovery is damage, even though that flash with heimdall should have fixed it. Try flashing one of the other kernels and then try flashing one of the latest kikkat builds.

[MENTION=4217103]zaclimon[/MENTION] have you seen anything like this?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zaclimon:
Well depends on the variant of his device. If it's the US version, then it could be possible that good digitizer might have been inverted. Though I don't recommend it, in last resort the intl bootloaders could be used to restore completely the device. In this case it is possible that he won't have access to the recovery by the three finger method anymore.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Nichyun:
Hello Everybody,

Im having a very frustrating experience. I just had my htc one x replaced by at&t after damaging the screen. I actually bought a new screen to put it on myself but when I was expressing nervousness about installing it (despite doing it fine before on a previous device) somebody else in my family called at&t and bought me a $99 replacement using the replacement plan as a present and a favor. It's the same exact physical phone as my old one, but things are different on it, and I don't like it. I figured out the issue is that the phone came shipped with HTC sense version of atleast 5 (found this by googling pics) while my old phone had 4. I like 4.. not 5.

Don't even get me started on why. Biggest thing is changing from 5 or 6 home pages to scroll through to only 3. I loved having the space. I never even used the app menu, haha.

Of course, looking it up now this seems to be a pain. Ive been sitting here for hours and this data is so hard to get through because of HTCs airheaded desicion to have 6 different phones with the same name. I feel like im going insane with contradictory info and google just not delivering due to the confusing names. I keep getting info for the desire x, too.

My main question is: I have an at&t htc one x and I need to downgrade to sense version 4. How do i do it, and can somebody point me to the correct video (preferred) or thread for this task for my phone? I don't care how much of a pain it is I will figure it out. I'm also terrified I can't do it because I've been hearing rubbish about the at&t version of this phone...

Im so frustrated. Isn't android based on linux? So why is everything so closed and proprietary? Open source being used to make money and force people to have one version of a program? Not having control over what I have on my device and being able to customize it how I choose to the point where I am forced into a new version of software I don't like? Oh and not to mention that I can't uninstall facebook and twitter which I don't use. I hate this. I loved my phone but this is making me so angry. This is the exact thing I HATE about certain electronics. I want to have things how I want them, it's mine. I'm picky. I like customizing all my things and having them to suit me. I'm a control freak with computers.... end rant.

Thank you very much for any help,

Nichyun

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ThisWasATriumph:
I dont think you quite understand how android works. You dont need to use the Sense homescreen if you dont want to. Install Nova Launcher (or any launcher) from the Play Store and you can customize it however you want. Theres no way to downgrade Sense without rooting. As for uninstalling Facebook and Twitter, you should be able to "disable" them in Settings>Apps. If you truly want an open experience with Android, you will have to root and install CyanogenMod, PA, SlimKat or one of the many other custom ROMs available. However, it is not something you can just follow a simple video to do. I'm not even sure the latest AT&T software is rootable. Someone else will have to chime in there.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Nichyun:
I really dont get it, I guess thats why i posted here, ill admit that. Thanks for the info... I'll look into all of that. I don't want to try to root the phone though, I' rather get used to it, I suppose. I dont want to mess it up, not worth it. It is frustrating to me that I cant delete certain apps because they're really big and there is no sd card slot in this phone so I run out of memory. I feel like facebook and twitter is everywhere it pushes itself on people which bothers me...

I guess this question could be considered answered because I figured out I dont want to do it any more.
