[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrYous:
Good morning all!

I have an amazing Xperia Z2 that unfortunately has a damaged touch screen.

Therefore I decided to turn it into a media streaming / gaming console device connected to a Samsung full HD tv with an MHL cable.

I have a dualshock 3 controller and the sixaxis app. The combination is perfect. (The sixaxis app isn't strictly necessary as the z2 connects to dualshock controllers through xperia connectivity - but the app makes it easy to manage mapping, profiles, etc...)

When I use this set up as a media device I have no problem. Streaming movies and music works perfectly.

The problem though is that when I try to play games there is a very significant lag that makes it impossible to play.

The interesting thing is that I tried this exact same set up (same phone, same mhl port, same HDMI cable) with another full HD tv (LG this time) at a friend's and there is no lag!!!

Any idea on how to possibly fix this? is there any requirement for the HDMI port I am missing?

I read somewhere else that the problem was with the MHL cable. But since this is working fine with a different tv it leads me to think that this issue is the HDMI port or the tv set up.....

Thanks a lot!!

thanks for the suggestion [MENTION=3033549]Safarend[/MENTION]!

i did read that thread. But I am not sure if it applies to this case as, as i mentioned, without changing set ups in the phone, the whole thing works as-is on a different tv.

[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrYous:
Yes [MENTION=3033549]Safarend[/MENTION] same output: 1080 @60fps.

thanks for the help.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Safarend:
What i would do is the following:

Load default tv settings

Update the tv software to the latest (Maybe a bug)

Try different hdmi ports

Check if your tv support gaming mode (soccer Mode) and enable it

I'm not an expert but that's the first things i would do.

---------- Post added at 05:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:19 PM ----------

If nothing works. Share both TV's model numbers
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrYous:
Thank you [MENTION=3033549]Safarend[/MENTION]!

I solved this. First I did a reset of the tv settings. Then, browsing through the menu, I found a "game mode" .

That did the trick!

Thanks again.

what happened to your CM12 builds? You were working on them with winxuser? http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-cyanogenmod-12-unofficial-builds-t3023483

did you abandon the project? I was running one of your early builds and it was pretty smooth besides some bugs here and there. Maybe you can get in touch with Netux and winxuser and work on another pretty smooth 5.0.2 LP ROM, as they started here a second CM12 thread http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/development-i9305/rom-t3042318

Don't get me wrong, I don't want to come off as rude or ungrateful. I appreciate your effort and your work. I'm not a developer unfortunately but I'll gladly test builds and report bugs etc.

I do not want you to close the thread and much less that you build the rom as soon as possible. But it makes no sense to create the thread without the rom!?!?!?

You can take all time you want no one is oppressing you...

I tell you this because most people will ask you question as:

Why dont you upload the rom?

Did you left the project?

Are tou still wuth us?

If you cant build the rom or if your build doesnt work i dont understand why you make the thread unuseful?!?

Use iRoot to root your Lenovo phone with computer

First prepare a workable computer based on Windows OS.

Charge your Lenovo phone to at least 80%.

Install a driver on your PC to recognize your device

Open iRoot on your Windows PC.

Connect your phone to iRoot. And your device will be detected automatically.

After detecting, click “Root Now” to start rooting.

Your phone will reboot after rooting. And voila. You have succeeded in rooting your Lenovo phone.

Bricked P769BKGO

Hi,

I have the same problem as nitagro with my LG Optimus L9 P769BKGO

Only difference is that i don't have partition errors.

I can flash via fastboot. ( x-loader, u-boot and recovery )

But still the device keeps appearing and disappearing in windows (TI Boards -> OMAP4430 USB Device)

Cannot get into S/W upgrade mode, only black screen and no vibration. ( Using any button combinations yields nothing )

I have tried Lelus fastboot flashing for both JB and ICS still no go.

Tried flashing bin files extracted from stock V20D_00.kdz ( x-loader, u-boot, boot and recovery), nothing still.

Is this the beginning of the end?

Any help will be appreciated.

Stupid me...

I bricked my G3 while updating to faria's WM6, but stupid me I had IPL/SPL at 1.xx. Now after the stupid try, I semi-bricked my Wizard, but was still able to go into the bootloader screen. So I decided to reload Cingular 8125 2.25 on it tomorrow.

Well today is tomorrow, and right when I was about to load up the factory ROM, bootloader screen and all, it shuts off. Battery isn't dead, cause yesterday it had a full charge and it wasn't running all night (semi-bricked, mind you). And now it won't come on.

Oh wait... it just came back on...

Crap, nevermind, it shut itself off again.

What's going on? It can't be bricked if every hour it decided to give me a bootloader screen to tease me for ten seconds?

If I wanted to be teased, I'd call my ex-girlfriend...

So, I'm creating this thread for a couple reasons.

1. I have an abundance of google play credit, but have everything I really need already.

2. Hopefully other newbies or seasoned vets can come here to find hidden gems.

I have some excess google play credit to spend. Question is, what do I want? Maybe a bunch of games? I'm really considering just spending it to help support some committed devs. Question is, who or what?

Maybe there's an app that I simply overlooked that I'll be kicking myself over if I spend it foolishly.

Recommendations please 8-)
[General Topics] Phurkus:
most of it is s*** games.

i only use apps in the utility section. most seem like there for little kids.

Use AppLock to lock apps so nosy people cant open them.
[General Topics] fyrcap100:
I don't buy a lot of apps but like the previous post I mainly use utility apps.

Network signal apps are always handy when you're trying to figure out which tower you're hitting and the signal you coming through on. This information is especially useful if you are have a technical issue and need to get tech support involved. I find they do push back a little when you start overloading them with a bunch of information the average user doesn't have but being armed with information helps expedite resolving issues.

I recently started using a TV app. It's a preloaded app that has a built-in channel guide. The app also lets me use the phone as a TV remote.

With the number of available apps you just need to think about your daily life and see if there are any things you do a lot that there might be an app for that.
[General Topics] Rickyzx:
It looks like a little strange to me. Many many people don't buy paid apps because of the money and the payment policy.

Factory reset doesn't restore files to a previous state. It only wipes the /data and /cache partition.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] layzz:
I've been rooted for almost 2 years now. For the past week my screen was randomly spazzing out and typing random letters when I was texting. As a result I factory reset and nothing happened. So I decided to backup and wipe my whole phone from twrp. When I wiped however I ended up wiping the backup.

So here I am now, I have a windows 8.1 Laptop x64. My htc currently has acess to bootloader and twrp touch recovery and theres no OS installed. The phone is Relocked with S-OFF.

When I plug my phone into the computer in fastboot the sound comes up and the hardware icon comes on the taskbar saying android 1.0, however I have no acess to the memory or storage. I have tried to mount the phones usb OTG in the twrp recovery but it does not select and just highlights it.

I have also tried to run a executable RUU from my desktop and I get failed to connect error.

The adb error is simply waiting for device.

I really need some help, i've tried to follow lots of guides but I'm getting errors.

Thanks

waiting for device is a driver problem, fix your drivers in windows device manager.

i've also tried that "seems i've tried everything lol".

I couldn't find the device when I plugged in the phone and there was no exclamation mark, when I tried on my friends pc I also had problems.

I have htc Sync installed so there should be some drivers atleast. I think it might be windows 8.

I tried to update the htc android interface but it says already up to date

This is my device manager with the phone plugged in. Like I said it makes a noise when it connects to the pc.

I'm about to reinstall htc sync and get back to you
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seanie280672:
couple of questions, what is ACER device, HTC android interface ???? is that there when your phone isnt plugged in ?

also, you say you installed HTC sync manager, after the install, remove HTC sync from add remove programs, leave HTC driver package above installed, sync doesnt play nice.

Which HBOOT do you have on your phone, Windows 8 doesnt play nice with HBOOT 1.44 ? (it will say on the main bootloader screen)

The drivers in Windows can be a right pain in the butt, because Microsoft and windows thinks it knows best, I know you say youve tried updating the driver, but you will need to force it, not use the automatically search option, it will always come back with "Windows has determined you have the best driver blah blah blah" instead select update driver - browse my computer - let me pick..... - Android devices (if asked to select type of device) - latest myHTC driver - Install anyway.

I have no idea what they are, they appeared only when the phone is plugged in. Just removed HTC sync manager but kept HTC Driver installer installed.

Whats the output of "fastboot devices" and "adb version" ?

Also uninstall everything about the android sdk (fastboot and adb) and re-install either the sdk or minimal adb and fastboot.
