[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] dmeyer07:
Hey everyone I'm doing a car install of a galaxy tab a 7.0 and I have a joycon usb controller and flash drive I need plugged in to a powered otg hub I have. Everything works great but my hub only has a switch that goes between charge OR otg not both. Is there a kernel or custom otg cable someone can guide me to to make this possible?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Ditto for me. Have it working on Nexus 7 2013 and hoping to do the same on the Tab A (SM-T285). How far have you got? I'm about to setup a breadboard with a pot on pins 4 + 5 as a standard 100k doesn't seem to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Auto install:
OTG simultaneous charging

Hi

I have the same requirement, apparently one needs a custom kernel where this is enabled. Have anyone made progress on this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] naiku:
Dang, saw this thread and hoped for more information. I am testing out an SM-P580 to replace my Nexus 7 (2012) and need to see if OTG and charging work together. I am hoping to find some time later this week to connect it up to the car and see what works and what does not. The biggest headache is the charger port is reversed compared to the port on the Nexus 7, so currently, I cannot see the screen to test anything. Hoping that OTG + Charging will work, because at that point then things (hopefully) get easier and I just need to fabricate mounting the tablet in the dash.

Fitting a 10" tablet while making it look at least semi stock is not going to be the easiest thing in the world, so I am hopeful of getting everything working before starting to tear my car apart.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] User848:
Did you find a solution? Which device did you use instead of Nexus 7?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] naiku:
Nothing yet, the Samsung I have did not work with OTG + charging and I did not want to pay $50 for an adapter that has so so reviews at best. At the moment I am getting set to try an LG G-Pad 8.0, which I am fairly confident will work as it has 2 USB ports, a full sized and a micro. The only problems I can see with this are that the USB ports are on opposite ends of the device, which might make it difficult to actually integrate into my dash, I am debating removing the rear cover and seeing if I can relocate the full size USB port or both to plug into the back instead of the top/bottom. The other problem is, for this particular model at least, finding any updated ROM's / root is proving difficult. It's an LG UK-495, would be cool to find some ROM's and possible SIM unlock it as well, I could the put a Google Fi chip in there and use it for calls right from the dash.

hi considering rooting device as cant hidecleanback launcher without root, my issue is this, if i ever wanted to return item for any reason is it possible to unroot, lock bootloader and return factory state or would it always be possible to tell it was a rooted device
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavero.burgos:
Hi, yes you can.

Rooting with supersu is systemless for quite long time now so if you wipe data root is gone but supersu doea modify boot.img

1. It's better if you don't install TWRP recovery but only boot into it with "fastboot boot recovery.img" command in case you just want to test and aren't sure you want to keep the device.

2. Then you'll need to flash stock firmware, Nvidia provides a recovery image with everything needed to flash using fastboot, you'll also need USB Fastboot drivers provided by them if you use Windows.

From that recovery package you'll just need to flash boot.img and system.img so uncompress it to obtain only those 2 images OR you could flash OTA via TWRP recovery.

Then use "fastboot -w" to wipe everything (in 500GB Pro model that command takes 2 hours as it wipes entire hdd) OR you could also wipe data and cache via TWRP (that will help to avoid the 2 hours wipe for 500GB Pro too)

3. Once stock firmware is installed and data/cache wiped, boot to fastboot or bootloader mode and run:

"fastboot oem lock"

Done.

Here is a .zip package i made with all tools needed:

- ShieldTV Drivers + ADB + Fastboot + TWRP + Supersu (Uncompress in C:\ )

[OnePlus 3 Questions & Answers] csiwei:
Hi Guys,

Not too sure if anyone had experienced this before? Any help would be very much appreciated!

I set my data limit and billing cycle to the 11th of every month, but I noticed that this was reset on 30th Jan!

Picture #1 is showing my set limit

Picture #2 is showing the correct date range (Jan 11 - Feb 10), but showing 117MB used

Picture #3 is showing the correct date range (Jan 11 - Feb 10), but showing 1.26GB used, which is the correct data

Oneplus support is asking me to do a wipe of data and cache, which seems to be an overkill. I do suspect that it could be something to do which the OOS update from 4.0.1 to 4.0.2 as this was the last system change.

Any better suggestions?

Phone is on OOS 4.0.2, unrooted.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpesci:
Hello.

I've searched on FAQ and all along the forums and google, but didn't find nothing.

My stock Moto G XT1033 (1st gen)'s camera stops to focus randomly.

At the first time, I just cleared out the camera cache - ok, focus works.

Next time, I tried the first approach, without succes. Soft reset - ok, focus works.

Next time 2, tried to clear the cache, soft reset, nothing. Hard reset - ok, focus works.

Next time 3, didn't want to hard reset again. Just uninstalled the camera update - ok, focus works.

Next time 4, tried to clear the cache, soft reset, re-install and uninstall camera software, and... nothing. I'm still figuring out what "magic" I will do. I'm not in the mood to hard reset again.

*I noticed that other camera apps won't focus either in these situations.

Any suggestions? Is my camera dying? :(
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slivovidze:
Hi.

My Z1C seems to have a similar case of faulty display as described in some other threads here, but actually a bit different. The phone is stock, not rooted, running 5.1.1

Whenever I do something, there are ghost touches in the upper quarter or third of the screen. They only happen when I am not touching the screen myself. It happens no matter what I do. When I browse internet, it clicks links, when I scroll contacts, it calls people, when I am on facebook it gives likes etc... It seems like the more demanding task the phone is performing, the more ghost touches.

I turned on the developer settings and the "show pointer location" option, which leaves track of the last touch on screen, so I can research the issue.

I found out that when the phone is on home screen, it happens very rarely or not at all - the track of my last touch stays until screen turns off.

When I jump into the touchscreen service test, it does not happen at all. I can draw a line around the whole screen and it stays higlighted indefinitely.

In lock screen, it also doesn't happen.

I tried it in Sketch and it confirmed what I thought, when I was just sketching, from time to time a dot appeared in the upper part of the screen, but when the phone was downloading or installing in the background, the screen literally had seizures. I touched and released and then a storm of dots started to appear around the top part of the screen. It stopped after 5+ seconds, and after another input from me, the screen got another fit, drawing more dots.

I don't have any experience, but I think that since the problem doesn't happen constantly and it doesn't even happen at all in test mode, it could be a SW mistake.

I have found this thread https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2691849 and I'm willing to try, but 1) my phone is still under warranty and 2) I have never done a root so I am not too eager. Do you think I should try that? Or has anyone found another solution for this problem?

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mirhawk:
As You have warranty, I would strongly suggest that You go for a repair. I had the same issue in beginning, ghost touches appearing randomly, going away only after reboot. I was rooted and xposed, so went full stock without restoring any apps or data from internal storage, yet the problem remained, thus ruling out the point that it was software problem. And then after a week or so, that much part of screen stopped responding to touch entirely. You can see details over here, Another user had same problem as Mine and had the same end result,
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slivovidze:
OK then, I'll go for a repair. Thanks for the tip.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karamaz0v:
I am having exactly the same behaviour as you described .

Ghost touches happening on the upper part, and triggered when a demanding task is running.

Actually I didn't realized completely about this, I thought it was just random, but right now after I saw your post, I tried an app similar to Sketch while upgrading apps or playing a video in the background. And dots in the upper part start appearing crazily.

Did the phone repair solve your problem ? Mine is not in warranty, so I'll have to pay for it.

But also in my case, before this thing happened, I got some water damage and that upper quarter of the screen stopped responding.

After replacing screen+digitizer I got this very specific behaviour you described.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slivovidze:
In my case, I realized that I bought (probably) a badly re-fitted phone. Display's backlight was visible around screen panel edges, where I'd say it shouldn't be visible at all. I decided to return the phone and got a refund.

Sorry for not being able to help you.
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karamaz0v:
Ok. The aftermarket screen I got has that issue with the screen edges also. Very probable you are right.

In my case I water damaged myself. It seems that after 2 years of intensive use, waterproofing is gone, by accumulation of slight hits or so, never had a single crack on the screen. I read many posts reporting this happening, even with much less use time.

Too bad, I loved the phone, but I'm afraid that sending it to repair will mean to change the PCB or similar for a complete fix, which can come to a ridiculous price.

Seems it will be time to move on...
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slivovidze:
Yeah. If you want it fixed properly, you'd need to send it to Sony, and for the money it would cost you, you can probably gen a new phone. Sadly, similar phones aren't made anymore.

[Shield Android TV General] warglock:
Hey guys, I've torn down a few things on here before (it's been a while, like GNex while) and I wanted to show everyone the guts of nVidia's new hardware, the Shield TV 2017 and their new angular controller.

Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT A TEARDOWN GUIDE. If you decide to disassemble your own Shield TV and/or controller, you do so AT YOUR OWN RISK. I am a professional electronic device repair technician, I handle top of the line phones worth $800+ and $3000+ computers all day long, I KNOW WHAT I AM DOING. If you've never disassembled a TV remote, I highly advice against you opening your expensive triple figure phone/STB/tablet/computer. YOU WILL BREAK IT.

Since I remember reading threads about the original Shield TV and adding a HDD to the base model (it had the room and the bracket and the solder connections) maybe this will help some people in attempting to accomplish the same, perhaps with an m.2 drive since the 2017 base model is considerably smaller.

Shield TV 2017 pics

Shield Controller 2017 pics

The main reason I decided to do a teardown is because my 2017 controller had a sticky left D-Pad key. Turns out there was some soldering flux on the left trigger solder points that would contact the farthest edge of the plastic of the D-Pad. I used some isopropyl alcohol to clean it up and it's all better. I then felt it was necessary to teardown the Shield TV as well. I'm also hoping that someone with the Pro model of the 2017 Shield TV can enlighten me as to where the IR sensor is located, that way I can attempt to get it to work with my Logitech Harmony remote. I was not aware that the base model did NOT have the IR functionality when I purchased it.

Thoughts: Overall it looks pretty tidy. I'm not a fan of the weights added into the Shield TV. It's a set top box and will likely never move once set up. It's not uncommon for laptop manufacturers to add weights to cheaper laptops to make them feel less cheap (I'm looking at you, Toshiba) so it's nothing new. The one thing that concerns me the most is the headphone jack on the daughter board of the controller. The backside of the board solder connections have little to no solder flowing through the holes. Could be shoddy craftsmanship or a low wave-solder tank, who knows. But since it's potentially a high-wear item, it could weaken the strength of the connection and cause it to wear out prematurely. I'm impressed with it's capabilities and it has taken my then 3-device streaming setup to a single device. I even managed to get rid of my older slow and clunky Harmony 650 remote and I can do everything I need except access my TV's menu options with the Shield TV remote.

Enjoy. If you have questions let me know. All pics were taken with my Nexus 6P.
[Shield Android TV General] DummyPLUG:
Do you have teardown of the remote control? I had problem with the dpad_center, and want to rework it.

p.s. just want to take a look if that is some design problem or anything else, my dpad_center don't have response if I press it too light, even I can feel the "click"
[Shield Android TV General] warglock:
I can see if it opens easily, but since there are no screws I'm hesitant to open the remote since I actually use it. My left D-pad key is sticky, I suspect some leftover soldering flux just like on my controller. If it's not responding at all, perhaps contacting nVidia would be your best option. If they send you a new remote and don't ask you to return the defective one, please send it to me and I can do a teardown on that.

I'll update when I get home from work.
[Shield Android TV General] DummyPLUG:
I had try to open it today, it quite hard, there a 3~4 "hook" on each side of the front cover, and those "hook" are not at the edge, it is about 1 mm away the edge and they seems hook on the mainboard, and the mainboard screw on the back cover , and the hook is toward center. I can open the top and both side, but the bottom near the battery opening is too hard for me.

About the IR of this remote I saw a transparent bulb (should be the IR ) and another white one next to it, may be this remote can learn some IR code?

The front cover of the remote is really thin but not as easily to broken as I think.

p.s. sorry for my broken English, nVidia said I need to return the remote but currently I am out of country, it will take few months to do the RMA for me
[Shield Android TV General] Treshy:
The remote can learn how to turn on/off non HDMI-CEC-devices. I use it to turn on my TV (not cec capable, sadly) AND my NAD Amplifier, they turn on instantly when I switch on the shield from sleep mode.

Also it can control volume of my TV and Amp without CEC via IR, although only one of them at a time. You can train the remote the IR signals in the settings app, I think it was in the screen and sound part of the settings.

- Great guide if your screen is not working and you have to save data! -

If the volume of your speaker is too loud follow this:

1. Open the dialer and type *#*#3646633#*#* to start the EngineerMode
2. Scroll right to the Hardware Testing page and select Audio → Volume → Audio Playback
3. Select System in the first drop-down list and Speaker in the second one
4. Set Index 1 to a much lower value, 20 for example (the original value should be 88)
It’s worth the time to create a balanced setup of the available volume levels, so as the Index values follow each other, set up something like 20, 44, 78, 114, then for Index 5 you may leave the original value of 136.
5. When you finished, scroll down, tap on the Set button at the bottom of the screen and your settings will take effect immediately.
These changes will be effective until you perform a factory data reset, so simply rebooting your phone won’t make them lost.

Attention: Due to the fact that my Z felt down and the screen is totally broken, I decided to change phone. If I should updat this thread, please send me a private message.
