[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onduck:
Please forgive me if this question has been answered, but I have searched several different ways with no success. I have been trying to use an external (both wired using an OTG adapter, and a wireless bluetooth) keyboard to play games from my computer using gamestream. The mouse movement will work fine, but the keyboards behave as if I am tapping a key repeatedly. Instead of my character moving forward smoothly, he slowly moves forward as if he is stopping and starting repeatedly. I've also had success using a controller, but the keyboard input just isn't working right. Is there a setting or something else I am missing? Thanks.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silverfox476:
Do you have the same problem when using Nvidia Grid games when using the keyboard?

I'm tempted to get a keyboard/Mouse for the PC based games on Nvidia Grid.

Not using Gamestream myself as I don't have a compatible Graphics card.
[Shield Android Development] legofan623:
I was just looking around at ways to remap my Shield's keys and found this nice little trick to turn the Nvidia button into a proper lock button like on phones and tablets, or a home button, rather than launch the TegraZone app (which is basically useless if you don't stream) . Here's how it's done:

You must be rooted to do this

Go into /system/usr/keylayout/ and open the file "gpio-keys.kl"

Go down to the line that says "key 116 STB_POWER WAKE"

Here's where you choose home or lock:

If you want the Nvidia button to act as a lock button, change that line to "key 116 POWER WAKE_DROPPED"

If you want the Nvidia button to act as a home button, change that line to "key 116 HOME WAKE_DROPPED"

Save the file

Restart Shield

Enjoy!
[Shield Android Development] OMGrant:
Awesome! Looking forward to trying this out soon.
[Shield Android Development] r3pwn:
I actually use the TegraZone app for NVIDIA Grid, but cool find, nonetheless!
[Shield Android Development] GuyInDogSuit:
But why would you want two home keys?
[Shield Android Development] OMGrant:
Because you could possibly use the old home key as something else, or free it up as a mappable key for gaming
[Shield Android Development] legofan623:
Yep
[Shield Android Development] lPolarisl:
Late, and possibly stupid question, but it's still possible to power on the Shield after that, right ?

There's just something scary about overwriting a line that says "Power Wake" 😅
[Shield Android Development] lPolarisl:
So anyway, in case you try this, be sure to have Gravitybox installed or something to remap your buttons, because you'll loose access to the power menu :LOL:

It's quite clear that's carrier fw.

Nothing new in it...maybe only gew apps that we don't need.

Carrier fw are specific in some areas.

For example, in some countries it's illegal to disable camera sounds or you have extra settings in sms app (special character warning)...

So...It's still same fw only with few minor changes that rest of work actually don't need.

It should be posted in Mega collection for users who need it.
[Xperia Z2 General] NetSkill:
Customized TW - it doesnt sounds like carrier branded fw

Because there is no carrier name in it... By build number it seems like branded but doesnt sound like branded according to name Customized TW

Just saying...

I emailed a google rep about google play music and the 6 months free. This was their response.

So people who already pay for google music get ad free youtube?
[Nexus 6  General] GPS3:
I still see ads in Youtube while signed in with my All Access email. I am an existing All Access subscriber.
[Nexus 6  General] NightHawkUndead:
I canceled my all access. Waited for it to run out. Opened the app. Got 6 months free. That easy.
[Nexus 6  General] InGeNeTiCs:
I asked them about this after I received my nexus 6 and they basically told me to pound sand. This is a mistake many companies make. While getting new subscribers is good, keeping your current userbase is also important. Giving current users stuff like this provides incentive for people to sign up, while simultaneously keeping the current userbase happy.
[Nexus 6  General] pside15:
I had a free trial a few months ago so I wasn't eligible for the free 6 months. All I did was add a 2nd Google account to my phone and selected it in the Google Music app and bam free 6 months. Everything else on my phone is tied to my main Gmail except for Music. Works great.
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
Does this promotion only work if you bought it through Google Play? I got mine from T-Mobile
[Nexus 6  General] spr0k3t:
Nope, it is for anyone who purchases a Nexus6. You should see it if you open up GoogleMusic from your phone.
[Nexus 6  General] KerryWood34:
I did this on accident. Had to change the CC on file, forgot to do it before Play Music expired, went to change it and was told I don't have to pay again until May 2015 :highfive:
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
I use google play music all the time. I don't have all access but I have 60gb legally purchased music saved to cloud. No message. Of course I go back and forth from having all access.

On a side note I never got an email from Google welcoming me to the nexus program. Like I did with NS, Gnex, N4, N5.
[Nexus 6  General] plasticarmyman:
yeah i got the option for 6 free months, i need to actually use it now :P

i wonder if anyone can spoof that their phone is a nexus 6 and get the 6 months as well.....hmmmmmmm
[Nexus 6  General] GPS3:
So how about that ad-free YouTube that the OP was asking about? :p

Anyone seeing ad-free YouTube? Are you a 6 month free subscriber or a paying subscriber?
[Nexus 6  General] ACCUSED24:
And would this only apply once the device ships?
[Nexus 6  General] ericsignals:
I think its only for the music channel thing that YouTube has now. :( it also let's videos play in background I believe.
[Nexus 6  General] tsy87:
Ive been a spotify subscriber since they launched in the state. I tried google play when they first launched and it was nowhere near being real competition to spotify... Now it has matured a bit, and I get 6 months free, I am giving it another shot.

Does anyone know of a way to get my spotify playlists transfered over?

Also... did they seriously not include the functionality of crossfading?!
[Nexus 6  General] mjs2011:
I'm getting my Nexus 6 tomorrow. So should I seriously cancel my subscription today and try to use the promo tomorrow? Will that work?
[Nexus 6  General] SilkyJohnson:
I have had All Access since it came out....

I have zero ads in YouTube now.
[Nexus 6  General] md1008:
You can try, I have been canceled for about 2 months, I was not offered a promotion
[Nexus 6  General] CandyAndy:
Still nowhere near as good as Spotify, unfortunately. I want to get rid of Spotify because their customer support and neglecting everybody wanting them to support chromecast.

But I have now tried all access several times (about every 2 months) and I always have to come back to Spotify since it is just that much better service.
[Nexus 6  General] times_infinity:
I think they pro rate it too. Because I had something similar happen to me. Had to change an expired card. And when it was renewed they only charged me $8.99 instead of the $10.
[Nexus 6  General] jimbobcooterrooter:
I have yet to try Spotify. I have been a user of GPAA since the beginning and i have never had reason to try anything else...what makes spotify > GPAA in your mind?

[Nexus 6  General] CandyAndy:
Playlists hands down. I heard that us just got them in the latest update so can't comment on that. But the radio option on all access just isn't good. Most of the time music is not what I want to hear (how many times skrillex can come up even when I thumb it down!)
[Nexus 6  General] jimbobcooterrooter:
Gotcha! I do custom playlists on shuffle and have never used the radio option so that wouldn't benefit me. I have a 6 month trial so ill probably give it a shot anyhow.

Thanks for the answer!

I think gpaa is better than spofify, I still use spotify but I don't pay for it. I just use shuffle when I use it

Also another pet peeve of Spotify that when you sign up you have to manually add each artist to your music selection, even if you own the songs/albums already. Since I have like 60 GB of music saved to google cloud it's all there. Plus the music I am "renting" is treated the same as the music I own. With Spotify I can sync music to Spotify but its in a different tab as the the music in your playlist.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdnandroid:
Hi

My Verizon S3 (SCH-i535) has been off contract for a few months now. I'm considering buying a new phone, but I think the S3 is still a pretty good phone. However, I would really like to customize it a little if I'm going to keep it.

It has the latest OTA update (4.4.2), so I understand I can't load custom ROM's. But I can root it if I'm not mistaken. If that's right what I would like to do it remove some of the apps that I don't want or have no need for, but aren't uninstallable.

So, my questions are, does root let me do this? If so, is it fairly straight forward to do? And, how do I find out what is safe to remove and what will break my phone?

I'm at the point where if I can't 'make it my own' (short of a custom ROM) I'm going to by an unlocked phone. Which hopefully will give me more control than this one :).

Thanks,

Jon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roaddog665:
Yes, you can remove "unremovable" apps with root. Use Titanium Backup or a file explorer with root access. You just need to be careful that you don't remove something critical for the phone to operate. I would highly recommend installing the unofficial Safestrap for our bootloader locked phones and make a backup of the rom before you remove anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jdnandroid:
Thanks. I had been planning on putting a few examples in the original post as examples. But when I went in the settings and looked at all the apps again (haven't poked around in there in a while) there were dozens. I couldn't decide which to list :). So I guess I will have to be careful I don't go overboard.

I'm still trying to understand what Safestrap is, or does (although I did read some of the description). It sounds like even though we can't unlock the bootloader, and therefor replace the factory ROM, we can get the device to boot an alternate ROM stored on the SD card. I keep wondering if I have this right, it sounds a little odd. Or maybe not, I can't decide.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roaddog665:
Yeah, safestrap will let you run another rom, but it has to be based off of the stock 4.4.2 rom. I think there are 2 or 3. And the second rom will use the internal phone storage. So if you have the 16gb phone like I do, 2 roms don't leave much space. I just use safestrap as a custom recovery to make backups in case I screw something up and to flash a few things. I just use the stock rom and don't put a second one on. As far as what is safe to remove, if you find one you aren't sure of just Google it and you should be able to find out. There are several lists floating around. I usually disable them with titanium backup and leave them there, although a did remove a few so I could add some other apps to the system. They can't run when disabled so they aren't using ram or battery. If it has the android guy beside it, it is probably important! :) I think I have all the Samsung stuff and most of the Verizon disabled.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Scolias:
Just a friendly heads up.

Was messing around with 4.4.4 /customizing etc. Something with the Wanam Xposed module breaks all the radios. Not entirely sure what happened, but I'm currently downgrading to 4.4.2 in an attempt to fix it. I've already done a fresh install, tried reactivating/resetting programming to no avail.

Oh well. This is why we back things up, right?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jpgranger:
Can you be more specific? 4.4.4 couldn't be smoother for me.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Scolias:
Was messing around with Wanam xposed and it borked my radios. Did a full restore to 4.4.4 and it worked again.

..went to confirm my suspicions and with Wanam and same thing happened. Could be coincidence, but when I messed with the status bar settings and rebooted, i had no radios. It would "connect" to wifi, lte, etc but data/voice would not work.

Edit: Other than that.. it's working quite well. Super snappy/responsive.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jpgranger:
Odd. I messed with almost every setting for the statusbar on 4.4.4. Theming didn't work at all as 4.4.4 has sewed up almost any chance of theming, but it sure didn't wreck the phone. I dunno.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Y.G.:
I'm on 4.4.4 and I've themed and customized my status bar using Wanam and have absolutely no issues with my radios.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jpgranger:
Share the wealth, bro! What are you doing differently?

No matter what I try with the theming by Wanam, it won't convert upon reboot.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] Y.G.:
I noticed that when changing the color, after changing the color, you have to press Preview then press Apply. Don't forget to make sure that the theming option is On too.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 General] jpgranger:
Nope. Didn't work for me. I later tried 3 different stausbar apps from the repository. Nothing.

I'm trying to simply change them to white, instead of stock grayish.

Hey guys, I'm new here, and I have just bought an LG Optimus F60 from Metro PCS. Anyone else have this phone? Anyone have anything on here for this phone? I searched any nothing came up. I don't really think it needs anything much because it is good the way it is. I got it on sale for $50, the original price was $150. For $50 I don't think it's bad at all.

It's got a nice 1.2ghz quad core

1gb ram

8 gb internal memory, 4 gb useable.

Android 4.4.2,

It's got 4GLTE, and it's really responsive, fast, doesn't freeze like my L70 used to.

Root LGMS395 Optimus F60 - Metropcs

Here u go...these instructions worked for me...

http://xdaforums.com/android/help/lg-optimus-f60-t3026744
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FamousBox:
i need to restore my lg f60 (i'm in the us and the carrier it supports is metropcs). i have TWRP recovery on it. can someone link to stock firmware/rom (whatever the terminology is...basically the operating system that the phone came w/), usb drivers, software tool to install the firmware, and everything i need to restore my phone back to how it was when i bought it

i was curious and tried lollipop (i think i tried both 5.0 something or 5.1 something or just one of them ended up working) but the camera was completely non-functional so now i need to go back to the phone being how it was when i bought it.

the firmware i've installed on the phone right now is MS39510G_00 (i think "MS39510G" is the actual identifier of the firmware, and the 00 is probably not useful for anything; the site i got it from maybe just appends it for some reason). but this firmware doesn't seem like what the phone came with or i'm not using/not doing everything i need to to restore it back to normal.

couple of things that strike me as odd and make me think that i don't have the right firmware or just didn't do something right:

there's a weird white area at the bottom, which i think was transparent and took on the color of the wallpaper on the phone when you just bought it & didn't mess around w/it

some of the icons are just the generic green android icon. a lot of apps have this same icon instead of different icons of their own

the lock screen also seems kind of different. it doesn't look like the lock screen of a new lg f60. maybe i was using a custom lock screen (i doubt it, but it's possible) but still it doesn't look like the standard lock screen to me

If you hate it :

I've bought myself a NOKIA E61 few days ago and I can say : no Windows Mobile powered phone, including Universal, is even in the same league as E61!!!

If you're fed up with a size and weight of an universal, if you want a RELIABLE and excellent working 3G/Wi-Fi enabled smartphone then look no further.

I was using Windows powered PDA/Phones and smartphones for last few years and now I still can't get used to not having to soft reset my phone AT ALL, that the battery lasts THREE DAYS, that it doesn't hangs up with no reason, that IT JUST WORKS the way it should with brilliant reception and call sound quality.

I know that maybe I shouldn't say that on this forum, but as an EXEC user since 2005 I just know what the problems with them are.

And if you wanna buy an EXEC:

Mine is for sale;)

Used, boxed with all accessories, factory unlocked, Windows Mobile 6 installed and running

plus brand new spare battery

plus 4GB Mini SD card with SD adaptor !!

COLLECTION ONLY IN LONDON!!!

Please PM me with your price offers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nabuhonodozor:
Wait few more days or weeks and You ll see how reliable E61 is. My friend bought it few months ago and he have problems with it - mainly with not answered calls and signal drops during conversations. I ve checked many different mobile platforms - standard Symbian, UIQ, pocket pc and palmos treos.

All of them have their own problems. And I always considered windows as the most unstable platform but it really turns out theres no difference. Even few days ago We spoke with my friend about his nokia comm. 9500 and problems he have with this phone.

Seriously - I think those devices are too complicated for now to be absolutely flawless. Such a geeks like us can play with them, upgrade rom countless times etc . but if You need something strud buy normal, simple phone.

In fact I am also tired of endless small problems in my Universal and I am considering to exchange it with IE Motorola K1. Of course I am not completly out of mind and want to buy additionall Fujitsu P1610 as a "neccesarry" addition.

I like Symbian phones, but as phones, for PDA devices you still can't beat Windows Mobile.

It's comparing a bicycle to a car, yes, for short distances, they are both good, and in city areas a bike will get you there faster and cheaper, but there are some things you just can't, or at least wouldn't want to do on a bike.

Every device has it's place, if you're so happy with the E61, I would suggest you were using the wrong device for your needs for a long time, rather than the PocketPC's not being very good.

FOR ALL ROOTED ROMS

This thread may eventually hold multiple apps related to general tools for the G3. I am happy to take suggestions on future apps that we can all use that we might find interesting. My apps are going to have a simple bare bones layout with no bells or whistles. I can't develop everything in the world but I will give it a try.

TEMPS apk

Temps is simple lightweight app that gives a data readout of all temp sensors within the G3. All data is listed per zone and refreshed every second for an accurate reading. Please don't ask me what each zone designation is. I simply don't know, and its not listed anywhere to my knowledge. The purpose of the app is simply to collect data. Nothing more.

I made it for some testing I was doing and figured maybe somebody else might have a use for it.
