[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] nxt:
I had the original white Pixel XL and I bought a cheapo generic black tempered glass. It was horribly ugly. I would guess having a black screen with white screen protector is going to be ugly too. I personally don't like it colored, wished it was transparent. I'm also getting the black intelliarmor 3d since they couldn't ship out the normal one in time.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Accessories] panpanpie:
Thanks, that's what I figured. I ended up buying the black one. The white one was supposed to ship on November 20th, but there is zero activity on the tracking number they provided. Hope that is not the case for the black one.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeBedenHasen:
Hello XDA.

After whipping my Moto E out the other day, I noticed that turning it on results in it just... laying there and showing me the "WARNING - BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" message.

Around 1 1/2 years ago, it just turned itself on after clicking the power button once. Now, not even Fastboot mode helps, as choosing any of the options listed there results in the warning mentioned above. For clarification, here is everything in short:

The phone does NOT turn on normally

Using any option in the Fastboot boot menu restarts the loop (i. e. instantly goes back to warning message)

NEITHER does Minimal ADB and Fastboot recognize the device, NOR does the phone recognize the connection to any PC (I've tried 4 different PCs)

Since Fastboot is unresponsive, suggestions to restore stock recovery are useless to me

Suggestions to perform a factory reset are also useless, since Fastboot is unresponsive.

So, am I right if I suppose that this is a hard brick? Or is this somehow salvageable? If so, please help me...

Thanks in advance!
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daman5202:
If its stuck on boot, its definitely not hard brick.

What was the android version when you wiped data?

Was there any custom recovery you used to wipe data?

You possibly wiped /system too, wiping system can result in bootloop.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeBedenHasen:
That's a relief. Thanks.

I'm not sure about it, but I think it was 4.x.

No, there wasn't.

Sorry, but that doesn't make sense. The phone's been rooted for almost 2 years now, and 1 year ago, it turned on perfectly fine.

But let's assume that actually happened somehow, how do I recover from this?
[General Questions and Answers] errolpl:
Hi,

So I have Galaxy J7 2017 with newest Android and I want to play some games which support game controller with my PS4 pad. I can connect the pad with my phone via bluetooth and both devices see each other, they are connected as it showed on most you tube video instructions. But my phone or games does not react when I'm pushing buttons, just nothing happens. There is no much solutions on the internet, so far I have found only one info that 1st version of PS4 with controllers v1 have some blockade. So my question is what can I do to bypass it? Is there any software?

Also I have read tips to buy OTG cable but this is USB<->miniUSB cable, so how it can work since my phone and pad have both miniUSB only? Does OTG cable have some microchip inside? Or can I just buy miniUSB<->miniUSB cable and it should work?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
You can probably get a USBMicro USB adapter cheaper than you can get a cable, the adapter will allow you to use the cord that goes with the controller by connecting it to the end of the cable then connecting to your device.

It's what I use for USB and OTG devices instead of an OTG cable.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Accessories] DragonFire1024:
Finding decent accessories for this tablet is hard. Especially when it comes to cases as many of them are poorly made. A few days ago I went to Best Buy and bought the 'Universal Folio' by Logitech, however, I wasn't planning on doing so. My intentions were to buy a USB keyboard designed for tablets, and they already had some in stock of what I had looked at the least time I was there. I also needed a case. So I thought, why not kill two birds with one stone and buy it. The salesman let me open and look at it. I was impressed.

Initially I was going to pass at it. The front of the box says "Fits most 9-10in tablets." (This is a Kindle 8.9 and when it comes to Amazon products vs. accessories, yes size does matter). I flipped the box and read ALL of the back. On the right side, the last supported product listed, 'Amazon Kindle Fire 8.9 (HDX included). Score!

Retail at Best Buy was $59.99, ten dollars cheaper than the USB keyboard (not a case). Open it up, insert tablet under the two bottom tabs. Push up on both corners of the clamps on both sides and insert the upper half of the tablet below the clamps, allowing them to grasp it into place. You have a fully functional QWERTY keyboard, which is confusing to setup. Pull the yellow tag out of the battery case and switch on the Folio. Looking at the top right of the keyboard, you will see the F12 key which also has a Bluetooth symbol on it. Make sure you are in the tablet's Bluetooth settings and make sure the tablet's Bluetooth is on, and the folio is turned on. Press the bluetooth symbol (F12) on the folio and also tap it on your tablet. Select your options in the pop up box and tap ok. Enter their given pin number when it's displayed. You have about 10 seconds to enter it so be quick or you'll have to try again. No box will pop up, so just type the pin quickly and hit the enter key on the folio when done.

All in all, this is a really cool accessory. I give it 4 out of 5 stars and recommend it to anyone. My favorite part: it looks like a laptop :D Pictures attached.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Accessories] DragonFire1024:
I wanted to get more out of this setup and wanted to get a mouse. Two things to know: 1) Although the tablets support USB OTG, they do not supply the port with enough power so the standard USB mouse, used with an OTG adapter, will NOT work. 2) A standard wireless mouse with the clip, also will NOT work.

So now I was left with the final option, Bluetooth. I wasn't sure if these tablets would run two Bluetooth devices at one time. I figured it was only $20 for a Bluetooth mouse, so I had nothing too much to lose. I again went to Best Website and looked for one. I got an HP Bluetooth mouse for $18.99, $20 off retail for Black Friday. Batteries were included (2 AA). Simply pull out the paper tab, turn on the Bluetooth on both devices, and select the mouse on your tablet. No pin number is required. Connection is near instant.

Since nearly everyone has rooted, TWRPed and rommed by now, you can I stall the Xposed Framework and install a module called 'Disable full screen keyboard.' this will add a toggle to a notification in the statusbar that allows you to turn off and on, the full screen keyboard "for any keyboard" allowing you the full physical keyboard experience. See attached photos below.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Accessories] DragonFire1024:
Disadvantages:

1) you may have trouble using this on your actual lap. The tow clips located on the bottom of the tablet, which hold the tablet in place when in the laptop format, pull up on the plastic ever so slightly when leaned back too far. This causes the connection between the battery and the folio, to become separated which causes the folio to constantly reconnect when pressing the screen too hard.

2) There's no padding between the screen and keyboard. The clips put about 1/4 inch between the screen and keyboard so make sure it's secure and the strap is pulled over properly or you'll scratch the screen big time.

3) Pressing the keys too quick or too hard will cause you to type double letters. This happens a lot for me. So if you're used to really pounding on the keys, you'll have to adjust your pressure.

4) The instructions are vague. If I hadn't figured out how to set it up on my own, it would've gone back to the store.

Issues with mouse?

I've recently been using a mouse with my tablet over Bluetooth but in most apps the "click" isn't working I have show touches on and obviously with my finger it shows up but with a mouse is does not, any chance you know a way round this? Cheers
[7" Kindle Fire HD Accessories] DragonFire1024:
Are you rooted? If so with or without a custom rom?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Accessories] bjscott55:
I am running a old ROM, I've figured it out now for anyone that is interested.

Simply download the octopus app from play store and launch your desired app you want to use a mouse on through that works flawlessly. Thankyou for your time.

Everyone's phone usage is different, so YMMV, that being said I only drained 2% standby overnight (8 hours) using this kernel, where on stock I would typically drain 4-5%. I also feel like apps load a little bit faster thanks to the slight OC. Slight but noticable IMO. Once again, YMMV.

I don’t know, but I think not. The kernel is built on the sources for 8.0.

you can always flash the kernel via fastboot and just restore the stock boot.img via fastboot from the dev preview zip in case it isn’t booting. And report back :)

I am involved in the forensic examination of mobile phones and computers in relation to law enforcement.

I have an Orange SPV C550 to examine that is handset security locked with a code that the owner will not disclose.

Has anyone any idea how to ascertain the code, or get around it so that an examination can take place of the handset.

If anyone has an idea how to 'dump' the flash memory then I would also be very grateful.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] sp3dev:
hmm.. if it is just the password when you power on the device, you can clear it by restoring the device to factory state via hard reset (when the phone is off, push both softkeys and power button, and 0 when the question appears)

if you mean simlock or sth of the kind - such things are on viki and spv-developers. rom dump info is there as well
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Mr Bond:
Thank you for you reply, it is the handset lock that I need to bypass as the SIM card is not PIN protected.

If I do a reset of the handset as suggested then I am going to delete data which somewhat defeats the object of the examination!

I am governed by legislation that states that I should not alter any data if at all possible, whilst I accept by bypassing the security code then some data will change but in the circumstances this can be justified.

I need a way of getting access to the data on this handset by bypassing the security code.

Can anyone point me in the direction of some hardware/software that I can use to pull out the raw data from the handset. If I can do this then apart from obtaining the data by reading the hex data I may even be able to ascertain the user defined handset code.

In advance: The problem occurs on two phones, OP3 with LOS14.1 (root, xposed) and Nexus5X official 8.0 (without root etc, after wipe, without third party apps, just as new).

And now the problem: Normally with the phone, I pair BT stereo headphones (Motorola S9-HD, Motorola S11-HD, Veggieg V7200), everything works OK. However, when I play a video in the YouTube app, and from Chrome v.62 also on the web - and the AVRCP will stop working. It does not help anything except wipe or restore (TWRP in OP3). I have tried everything I can, I have solved it without exaggeration for at least a year (actually, even when I had on OP3 CM13).

Good morning everyone,

I've been creating mobile apps on android for a few months using appinventor2, for the moment i have put 3 apps online on the playstore and I'd like to test the creation of mobile games on android.

I've seen that there are programs like appinventor2 but more games oriented like: Stencyl and Construct 2.

Under Construct 2 it's possible to create nice games according to this tuto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTbfxYclxjc

But I would like to have your opinion to know the limits of these 2 softwares or even another program.

What are the differences between Construct 2 and Stencyl ?

Which of the 2 would be the easiest to handle and is what you think it's a good tool to start creating games under android.

I also know that it is necessary to buy the premium version to unlock for "mobile" version which will be obligatory in my case because in the near future (if everything goes well) I would like to put my creations on the playstore.

Thank you for your help ;)

Kind regards
