I've been using pauls usb host and I can connect a mouse but can't see any cursor. Is there any app or someting to show a cursor. Thanks

I get a cross hair mouse icon if I plug a mouse in. Are you sure the mouse is working properly?
[Vega General] dopeh:
Dont expect every mouse to work. I tried with several different ones, but only a few worked.. and then you have mice like apples mighty mouse, android doesnt have any idea how to work with those. If your mouse works properly you should see the icon as chrishudson said.
[Vega General] yioti:
I know the mouse is working because it has a light which shines when I plug it in. It could just be that the mouse is not supported or something like that.
[Vega General] Lennyuk:
all that means is the mouse is taking "power" from the vega's usb doesn't mean the mouse is working and doesn't mean that its compatible with the vega.
[Vega General] yioti:
I thought it would be that but thanks anyway
[Vega General] dmahre:
I think I saw someone on modaco say that they needed to have their mouse plugged into a USB adapter for it to work correctly .
[Vega General] debs626:
I'm having the same issue, since the last update my usb mouse isnt working anymore. A few others have reported this over on modaco forums too. Hopefully there will be a fix soon
[Vega General] Zebwen:
This appears to be due to the 1.08 and 1.09 based ROMs, 1.06.5 apparantly had an X cursor working... Is it something simple like the pointer image not being in the framework anymore? In 1.08 the mouse actually works, you can flick through homescreens/pull the notification bar down with it, you just can't see the pointer :P

[Vega General] lukumce:
And what is the solution to this problem??? My mouse is registered and it is working, but no pointer appears.
[Vega General] yioti:
Search the advent vega forum over at modaco someone has podted how to get mouse cursor back.

Hope this helps.
[Vega General] jdyoung24:
If you head over to vega - modaco - com. Search for "mouse cursor gone" and select the thread with that title there is post on it with a file that fixes this problem.

USB Mouse working on Advent Vega

I have an Advent Vega running Vegacomb and when I plug in a standard usb mouse it picks it up straight away and a cursor appears immediately. No problems whatsoever!
[Vega General] slybunda:
your a fool, if the light comes on that just means the mouse has power going to it. it may not indicate that its a functioning or supported mouse.

i have tried 3 different microsoft optical mice now, the small netbook one, the intellimouse and the larger version of it and they all work fine.

Why the insult.

How did you become a senior member? By leaving lots of insulting comments I assume.

I don't see the point of insulting members by calling them a fool just because they don't understand something.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] microang:
I was wondering if it would be possible to either Boot Windows Phone 7 through MAGLDR from the SD Card like you can Android by maybe partitioning the SD Card so it cn have it's own space?

Or a more realistic option which would be to have a NAND ROM that includes both Android and WP7 installed to the NAND and partition the SD card for storage? This second option I believe could be possible if the NAND is partitioned correctly to allow them both to run and then you could select them in the MAGLDR! :D

I would like some dev feedback on this as I would try building a ROM myself but I don't know the workings of the partitioning system in MAGLDR well enough to try!

Thanks in Advance for any help! :)

I run Android from SD as my primairy OS, WP7 is on NAND just to play with and test it. I tried Android on NAND, but to me it wasn't noticably faster then when running from SD.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] microang:
Well the thing is I like to use a fully fledged Desire HD ROM and it's stupidly slow from the SD card... my current build is squashfs'd so only takes up about 200mb for the actual OS and I'm sure WP7 could be fitted in the rest of the space and like I'm doing now I can use EXT4 on the sd for data! :D Now what's needed is if someone can build a hybrid ROM! :D

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KarolisM:
Hey guys, my Hero just started lagging with FroydVillain 16.xx version. First of all I thought this was just too many programs, or something like that, so I decided to wipe my phone and install new CM version. But then I got error for wipine an ext. I was suggested try wipe ext via ADB, but nothing happend neither. So I just installed the ROM anyway.

Everything was working, but after couple days it started lagging again. The most sensible feeling with SMS's. Then I'm opening new SMS from notification's bar, it takes forever to show me the text. The same with conversations list in Message application. There is also a lag while typing (AnySoftKeyboard with Lithuanian Keyboard).

The same happend today after reinstalling FroydVillain 17.2 with new RA_Hero 17 recovery. Installion was made yesterday. Now I have ~100 SMS's, if it has anything in common.

Any ideas, guys?

This is my apps' list: appbrain.com/user/karolism/
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MentalDeath:
Well for me if I don't restart my phone every few days it slows down, are you overclocked? if not it might help, also some applications might not close properly and drain battery and other resources and lastly the Hero was built with old technology when it was new (I read this somewhere a while after I got my phone :( but I could be wrong).

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] nos1609:
As many of us are owners of the white version of the X8. Let's try to correct SE's mistakes in software design. The standard framework_res.apk was designed for the X10 series which almost have a black front panel. But the X8 is slightly different and mostly is offered totally white with some different battery covers. So I suggest to compile a black on white framework, with orange elements instead of blue ones. I've tried to solve this problem with a hue shift only but didn't reach the target. I think it should be a normal froyo framework with orange ements. Something like this. Hope for finding some collaborators. Thanks :)

this is a black/orange version for x10i

[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] stylo969:
Anyone... Tried this?
[XPERIA X8 Themes and Apps] stylo969:
I tried this one . Well when I downloaded the file update.zip and installed it via xrecovery. I came across very strange home scrreen it was x10 homescreen I played around a bit .but it was too buggy it doesnot had the dialer app so I wasnt able to call anymore. I restored my phone and then extracted the package I downloaded update.zip and explored it a bit it had 2 folders meta-inf and system I opened system there app and framework folder . I copied the framework -res.apk file from there and changed it using reframe script. And wow I was good to go. I liked the theme colours and yes the transitions are awesome ... The only bug I found out that the four corner icons are cut a bit. But it is worth giving a try......
[Folio 100 General] thepretorian:
From day one when I got my Folio the right bottom of the screen is a bit coming out of the black "frame" (1-2mm). But lately its getting worser and tonight when I hold the Folio on that spot like usual, the top plastic layer suddenly cracked.

The screen itself is unharmed and as for the touch part, all still work fine.

This should be covered by the warranty I hope. Looks like a poor build quality. Only got the device for like 2-3 weeks. *sigh*

Should I flash it back to the stock rom? Since its running Dexter's Mod 1.3C now.

They only need to replace the plastic layer and maybe the touch part, idk.

http://s861.photobucket.com/albums/ab178/thepretorian/Toshiba Folio 100 - Screen cracked/

Some pics of the crack, the board doesn't allow me to post links because my post count.
[Folio 100 General] Nemo0815:
Well i would say hold it more carefully, the screen is glass and cracks like glass (if you want it to).
[Folio 100 General] killerbie:
I am from Belguim too, and i have the same thing!

It didn't (yet) cracked here but still...

I thought it was because I always hold it with my left hand, normally warranty should fix the problem for you. (as long as the screen isn't cracked!!)
[Folio 100 General] thepretorian:
Did a factory reset and flashed it back to the stock rom. Don't want anyone getting hand on my "personal" data like logins/emails etc when you know how confidential ppl work at repair centers.

The screen itself is untouched, touch works fine even in the cracked area's. It is really that plastic/glass layer on top. I'm taking it back to the store tomorrow.

Killerbie, watch out around that area and don't put too much pressure on it when you hold it there. I was holding it with my right thumb (and palm of course) and then it suddenly happened. The layer doesn't fit very well in the black frame around it.
[Folio 100 General] thepretorian:
I just came back from the store and they refuse to take it under warranty. Even though everything works, touch part (even in the cracked area's), screen is untouched (no liquid leaking or spots), etc.

I'm going to call Toshiba Support directly and see what they say. Since I'm not the only one with that 1-2mm popping out at the right corner. It is just a matter of time the glass cracks on other's Folio.

I've also added more pics and a video showing the touch part is still working fine. But I don't dare to push on the cracked area to prevent further damaging.

[Folio 100 General] SoJoS:
Despite being very carefully with my hardware, I noticed the screen is beginning to come loose. It's not as bad as I've seen on your pictures but worrying nevertheless. It's only 1 month old.

Looks like the folio 100 don't like being handled with just one hand.

Did you contact Toshiba, and what did they say?
[Folio 100 General] thepretorian:
Well after a couple of phone calls to Toshiba they agreed to pick it up and gave me an RMA. After a couple days I got an Email with some information and RMA number written in bad Dutch.

Saying that I have to print and sign this document stating that I agree to be charged in case the repair-center deem that the broken glass top is not covered by the warranty.

Due to that phrase and the fact if I sign, I'm screwed either way, because the device has to be fixed anyway. Also in the email they mentioned that I have to sent it to Czech Republic. Means that would cost me 44 euro to UPS it (sending faulty devices by regular post packs is a big no no).

So I mailed them back that on the phone the lady spoke of a pick up etc... No reply for one week. So I decided it to give it another try at the store.

This time it was a different person at the counter, I did my story, said that I contacted Toshiba and they agreed to repair it etc. And now its at their repair center for a week now.

And right after 2 weeks I sent that mail to Toshiba about that pickup, they finally replied back, saying, indeed a pick up will be done by UPS or TNT... and that they will contact me for the pick up.

So from calling to Toshiba, to get the device picked up... will take 2 weeks! *unacceptable*

So right now I'm ignoring Toshiba and hoping that the store is really going to repair it under warranty. Since its not a crystal breach. Just the top layer(glass/plastic, etc).

Glad I'm not the only one with this problem, mine is just the result of the problem.
[Folio 100 General] SoJoS:
Hm, sounds promising...not.

As said mine is not as bad as yours and my screen isn't cracked (yet).

I'm gonna send a mail to the shop I bought it from (Dynabyte NL), at this point it's acceptable but I don't want to wait till the problem gets bigger.

Thanks for your respond and I hope it works out for you.
[Folio 100 General] The Hellion:
Mine is also bulging, and it has never been handled with just one hand... Actually, it has never been handled, because I just bought it yesterday, and I have not even unsealed the plastic bag; touching it you can clearly feel the bulge, so I believe it is not that the screen comes unstuck after use, but that there is something pressing it outwards, that causes it to bulge first, and to crack later on. Of course, mine is going out tomorrow; I will exchange it for a non-pregnant folio, if available, because there are several people reporting the same problem, and in any case, will take out insurance on it; that way any potential trouble will be covered, either by the guarantee or by the insurance.
[Folio 100 General] thepretorian:
Glad that there are other people having this problem too. That was my first impression to, that something under the glass/screen is pushing it 1-2mm out. And after a while it sticking more out due to usage of the tablet.

Right after I got my tablet accepted at the store for repair, I went inside and checked the demo device if it had the problem too. And indeed, there it was also sticking out. I'm really disappointed in Toshiba :(
[Folio 100 General] Trumpfz:
My screen is coming out a little bit too. At the Bottom, middle or slight right of the middle.

Funny thing is that my touchscreen sometimes just stops responding and then I have to slightly press that plastic frame part on the bottom and instantly after pushing it the touchscreen works again. So the tablet basically wants me to push it on that bulge. :(
[Folio 100 General] tobr:
Screen gapping away 2mm at the bottom

The same with my folio. Yesterday I RMAed it for repair.

The screen at the bottom is about 2mm gapped away so that it could be easily teared off by an accident. I didn't noticed it at first because I use original lether toshiba case.

Definitely it was the real cause of all my problems with responsiveness. Folio was often unresponsiveness at the bottom edge. After I pressed the gapped away plastic surface back down into its correct position then responsiveness was OK for some time until the gap reappeared again.

I think that everybody should check his/her folio. Maybe it could be a wide spread problem.

p.s. And all the time I was thinkink that it was a SW problem :-(
[Folio 100 General] Trumpfz:
I asked in this Thread if maybe someone knows how to repair this as this is an Hardware issue. Maybe it's just a wrong screw that pushes the touchscreen out of the frame.
[Folio 100 General] SoJoS:
Took my folio to the shop today, it's going back to Toshiba for repair.

Got the option to trade mine in for a demo-model, but unfortunately it had the same problem. It's probably gonna take some weeks before I hear what's gonna happen. Repair, replace or nothing, we'll see.

I don't think it has to do with screws, while this problem is always on the bottom side it's not always on the exact same place.

Looks like some sort of tension, mine was ok when I bought it, one month later it's loose from the bottom-middle all the way to the right side.
[Folio 100 General] thepretorian:
Mine has been sitting at the repair center for more than a week... no new updates at all... sigh.

It is some kind of tension/pressure squeezing the screen together, like it doesn't really fit the frame.

So like Tobr said, everyone should check it out and report it to this thread so in case the store or Toshiba is charging you for the repairs, you can at least print or point them to this thread, saying that is a general problem.
[Folio 100 General] SoJoS:
According to the shop it could easily take one month before it's back, so I'll just wait and hope for the best.

Checking your device is indeed a good idea, an if you can live with the problem maybe get a written statement that your not responsible when the screen decides to crack.
[Folio 100 General] bastospn:
I was able to introduce a thin peace of plastic between the frame and the screen and its much better now.

This way the plastic cover wont break and it responds way better.
[Folio 100 General] bastospn:
I doubt that toshiba fixes this by replacing anything. If they used their brain they could solve this before it brakes
[Folio 100 General] thepretorian:
Well it must be a miss calculation of the sizes or places where the components are placed. So if they replace/fix the screen, the chances are big the bulging is still there.

But according the the European warranty law, if some thing is repaired for the 3rd time within the warranty period, they have to give you a brand new device or your money back. Still 23months to go (the warranty) here. Its gonna be a long journey :(

Finally after almost 2 weeks, some updates at the status page of the repair center

So who knows, I might have it back somewhere next week. Other info on the page also mention "charged: 0.00EUR".

Lets hope it is 0.00EUR. Because on the phone with Toshiba themselves last time, they said replacing the screen will cost me 130.00EUR.
[Folio 100 General] bastospn:
I take same glue and I fix it myself I know warranty is gone but at least I don't wait a month :) I will try to do some mod

That approach didn't work for me. You want them to think youre a n00b. I said that I was glad to finally speak to somebody because I didn't knew what choiches I had to make to have actually somebody on the phone. After that I told the good fellow that I configured my email account (live, hotmail etc) and that it's needed to be activated. I said that there where 5 bars, and that I found it rather weird beacause I didn't new If they want an andress, name etc. Then the men laught and sais, no It's needed a 25 diget code, and every bar you can enter 5 of those. I played dumb and I said I called my provider, and they said I needed to call HTC, wich told me to call microsoft. The guy laughs again and he only asked for my name and my telephone number.
