I don't know why it is so, when I right click notification icon and click settings, nothing happens. BTW I'm using Windows 10.

How to use alternative UI? Please enlighten me.
[Android Apps and Games] FD_:
Start the server from a shell and pass an additional "-w" flag.
[Android Apps and Games] sharma.vishal:
Nothing changes with alternate UI. Is there any way to clear cache or data of server .exe ?
[Android Apps and Games] FD_:
I'm using the Java Preferences api. Apparently, the underlying storage depends on the operating system. For Windows it's in the registry, as explained here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4947555/where-are-the-java-preferences-stored-in-windows-7
[Android Apps and Games] sharma.vishal:
Nothing's there :(

Edit: I got the java preferences but deleting them doesn't work. Dark icon is gone but unable to access settings.
[Android Apps and Games] CJayArrgghh:
Hello,

I previously had this working fine, now I've upgraded to a new laptop and to Windows 10 and not having much luck. Here are my problems:

The device can be detected and connected fine.

I cannot move my mouse from the laptop onto the mobile phone, I've tried moving the phone location in the settings but nothing seems to work.

Using the mouse shortcuts I can get my mouse cursor onto the mobile phone, but it is really sluggish, and doesn't move with in the same way my mouse does, ie it moves in the wrong direction/appears shaky.

Anyone else had this issue? Huawei P9, HP Elitebook. Have purchased app license.
[Android Apps and Games] CJayArrgghh:
I managed to get the connection working properly so I could navigate my mouse to the phone screen however I'm still having issues. (this first issue was related to the screen resolution and scaling).

I can move my mouse onto the phone screen, use it for about 30 seconds and then it freezes and I no longer have control of my mouse and I'm unable to get it back onto the laptop screen so I have to reboot the laptop to gain use of the mouse again. Anyone else experienced this?
[Android Apps and Games] dwkindig:
Is this app no longer supported? Haven't been able to use it for months, no update to app or server in same window of time.
[Android Apps and Games] CJayArrgghh:
I've tried to contact the app maker via email a couple of times with no response. They were active on here earlier in the year, hopefully they return at some point.

Can anyone send me the DeskDock Windows Server Zip file, please? I couldn't download it from the official download link. It says "This site can’t be reached".
[Android Apps and Games] FD_:
Sorry guys,

For some reason, I missed the last couple of posts on this thread. In any case, the best way for getting support is usually via email. Contrary to what @ CJayArrgghh said above, I do respond to every reasonably polite email, I just take a few days to respond sometimes when I'm busy with other things. DeskDock is a hobby project.

This is a known problem with Windows 10 Home Build 1809. For now, I’m afraid I don’t know how to fix it. Probably, a fix within the Windows OS is needed, since it was also an OS update that introduced the flaw. If you want to help me find the root cause, please send me an email.

The app continues to be supported. If you have any feature requests / bug reports, please send me an email.

As mentioned above, email is the recommended means to get support. I can hardly imagine having missed multiple emails, so either there was some issue with the email transfer, or I did answer with a few days delay and you didn't update your post here when I eventually responded.

What link are you trying to use? That usually means some proxy or firewall blocks access to either bit.ly or dropbox (where I host the files).
[Android Apps and Games] Bakr Ali:
The official link from within the app. bit.ly redirects to Dropbox without any problem and i get the following page on Dropbox "You’re about to download a file from Dropbox.

Not expecting that? No worries, feel free to close this page and go back to whatever you were doing.

If you’re sure you want to download this file:

Download"

Then, after clicking "Download", the following error appears:

"This site can’t be reached uc61ec15cf15e3d0161621744a5a.dl.dropboxusercontent.com’s server IP address could not be found.

Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN"

I can normally open both bit.ly site and Dropbox plus I have tried downloading it from my Android phone as well but i get the same error, so the problem have to be on your side i guess.
[Android Apps and Games] FD_:
Well, I'm just using Dropbox, I have no idea how the problem can be on my side. I have no control over Dropbox servers obviously. I just tested the link again, and download just works for me.

Anyway, if you send me an email, I'll try to send you the server program as an attachment.

Ever since upgrading to android 14, ive been having issues with desk dock. The server application on my PC is working, it detects the device and will even show connected.

However the mobile app is stuck on "connecting", and while I can see the device under the server settings and even see a mouse cursor, it does not work.

I tried reinstalling the app, restarting the server/PC and the mobile device, but the issue persists. Any ideas? Or do I have to wait for an update?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac.buftea:
So I just got CM13 up and running, everything was fine until I opened Youtube and started playing a video. When the volume is low I hear a constant buzz (something like a static sound) and some crackling noises here and there (the sound gets a little distorted too). When I max the volume I can't really tell if it's still there or not. The material that's playing overpowers the buzzes. Also it's not happening only on youtube. I hear the same noises on every app that produces sound. I tried fiddling with the included EQ in CM but no luck. Is my speaker by any chance starting to break or what is happening? This and the glorious 1.5 SOT I get from a full charge make this phone better and better >_>... Yay!
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:

If the problem occurs with a stock ROM, it could be a hardware issue.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac.buftea:
So I flashed stock and the problem is still the same. Should I replace my speaker module? I found one here, but in the title it says it is for the D820 model (I have D821). In spite of this, judging from the part number (EAB62971502) and what it showed on Encompass it should be for D821. I don't know what to say. Are the modules compatible between D820 and D821?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aciupapa:
I have the same problem, on every rom, no matter what media is playing. Replaced speaker, didin't change anything :(
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac.buftea:
[MENTION=6408528]aciupapa[/MENTION] So you say it could be something else besides the speaker? That doesn't sound very good at all...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aciupapa:
I think that it could be that some contact points on the USB flex cable (which is the part for connecting LCD, usb cable . mic and speaker) may be vroken or something :/
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Won't be able to isolate the exact problem without spare parts.

Simplest solution may be to replace speaker and see what happens.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ac.buftea:
And about the part numbers and the compatibility thing I wrote previously what do you think?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
I believe the parts are the same, the only difference between the 820 and 821 being the radio frequencies.

Can you plz explain?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Tynkrrbell:
Hello All,

I am running

ROM: TNT.1933 TouchFLO Edition

I/SPL is 2.25

Radio is 2.19.11 and

OS is 11.0.0.1

TNT comes with Oxios Hibernate and CloseApps, which seems to have very naughty behavior on my system. I can only ever open one application, even if I just switch to “Today” from an open app, the app I was in closes (not shown in Task Manager, truly closed). This stinks. Tried to delete the .exe files, but can’t – they’re marked as “ROM” and “READ ONLY” and can’t make a change to those – just reverts right back. Also can’t kill the prog via task manager because it doesn’t show up there. Please please please tell me how to get rid of this program bundle – I really really hate it!

Thanks!

-tynk-
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
Both oxious closeapp and hibernate only do something when YOU run them...they run once and exit...the difference between the two is closeapps tries to close ALL apps...hibernate tries to free as much memory as it can without closing any apps.

Neither would be closing any apps without your knowledge.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] Tynkrrbell:
that's what I thought, too!

But soft reset or shutdown/restart, and upon loading the today screen, the progs up and running (can see the closeapps bars in upper left corner of the screen). I checked startup and it isn't in there (even checked "show all files" in case it's hidden, but nothing).

From my research (yes, I did try figuring this out on my own - other than a couple mentions of instability with these two progs and WM6, there wasn't any good help to be found ), I thought if I didn't click on either icon, it wouldn't start but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

They are somehow loading/starting automatically, so even if I could change the attributes so they were 'delete-able', if I can't get them to stop running (again, neither is visible in taskmanager), I won't be able to delete them! Arrrggg!

Thanks for the response, though! Any other thoughts?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] mfrazzz:
First, any programs built into the rom can NOT be removed. You could create dummy files (create a blank text file and rename it to the name of the file you want to "remove" and it will be used instead of the one in the rom).

For them to be starting automatically as you claim, then there has to be either a link for them in the \Windows\Startup folder, or an entry in the registry (look in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init , or just do a search with a registry editor).

But as Famewolf indicated, what you are describing is NOT how either of these programs work. They don't stay in memory and continue to run. You start them, they try to free up memory (in two different ways depending on which one you run) and then put up a dialog to show you what they did. After you close the dialog then they exit.

I'm not doubting the behavior you are seeing on your phone, but I am doubting that you are looking in the right direction claiming that the Oxios apps are causing this. As I tell people that run my own roms... If things don't work for you, then switch to a different rom. Also, if you've installed ANYTHING on the rom, then make sure what you have installed is working properly and isn't what is causing the issue. If you hardreset or reflash, and do NOT install anything else, do you still see this same behavior?

Finally, due to the odd nature of your problem, did you by chance install the rom, then do some sort of restore from like spb backup or sprite backup or similar? If so, you've most likely screwed up the registry as you can not restore a backup from one rom to another one.

Good luck, and hope maybe this helps you in figuring out what is going on.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] nothin:
NOT TRUE!

oxios with skull icon(i forgot its name, because i am not using it, only hibernate..)WILL close ANY app that is running in background!!!!!

so be aware of this.,
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] pepcisko:
guys, both of you are right :)

first, both oxios apps will be started after the request from the user, then do their job and exit. The skull-one will close apps, the snowflake (or what it is) will free memory. But none of the application will be running in background, closing everything the user starts :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ammarr:
His observation is correct, silly as it may sound.

For a long time i wondered why my apps would keep closing (i was using mbutton so i could see which apps were open), as soon as i opened another app, the app which went to background would get closed, even though I would have plenty of program memory free. I started tracking the reason for this and soon found out that this behaviour started as soon as i executed oxios hibernate. It would keep happening until i did a soft-reset, after which the system would work fine until (guess what!) i ran the hibernate app again!

Best thing to do is get the sktools lite version and use its free ram shortcut. Or better yet, forget about free ram at all, remove all indicators on your today screen etc etc, and surprisingly you'll never be worried about free ram and your system will work smoothly enough. If you're so worried about free ram, schedule your system to automatically soft reset once a day during the night.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] famewolf:
I use oxios hibernate ALL THE TIME..I even have it on a quick launcher button....having apps close on their own is NOT normal behavior and I'll say again oxios hibernate is not causing this..I keep palringo and other apps running all the time in background...either your registry had issues or your rom did because it works fine here...I sometimes go days without rebooting the phone because of oxios hibernate.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] ammarr:
I have traced the problem specifically back to oxios hibernate. It does not happen with sktools free ram. For some reason the WM_HIBERNATE message doesn't die and keeps killing all background applications. I've had the problem on the stock wm5, ppctuning's superrom, wrcx1 etc etc (basically all ROMs i've tried).

There could be a reason why this is just happening for some devices, i dunno, but the culprit definitely is oxios hibernate.
