Does anyone else have an issue with CM10 (sgs3 d2att) where the screen is stuck at the task manager screen if you hit the home button? The only way I can get out of it is if I press back, and then every time I hit the home button it brings me back to task manager, instead of needing to long press.

ExcessBLarg! posted:There's a bug whereby capacitive and home short-presses are always registered as long-presses (which results in the behavior you describe). It usually manifests after a day or two or uptime, and once it happens, the only way to resolve it is to reboot. Oh drat that's very annoying, is there a fix in the works?

I recently put CM 10.1 on my Nexus 4. The cellular indicator now shows whether I'm connected to HSPA or HSPA+, which is nice to but I've noticed that if it's showing just H, no loading happens until it switches to H+, at which point things load just fine. Why Is this happening, and is there something I can do to get downloads on H?

This is a battery saving feature, if what I read is right. If you go into Settings > About Phone, it should say HSPA:10.

Are there any known issues with CM10.1 and data connections outside your home network area? I'm traveling for work and my carrier's coverage map and interactive tool claim that I should have mobile data here, but I don't. I'm supposed to have national coverage with no roaming chargers anywhere. It's a CDMA carrier, so I would have figured that I could get data from a Verizon tower.

You probably need to update your PRL. You'll likely have to flash back to stock to do so though. Make a nandroid, flash to stock, update PRL, restore nandroid.

Didn't turn out to be that. My phone wasn't set to connect to data while roaming. My plan covers data nationally regardless of which network I'm connected to, but my carrier has no towers here so the phone shows me as roaming. I turned on data roaming in the Mobile Networks menu and now it's working. I'm betting that in the stock image for my carrier (USC), this is enabled by default. All of USC's new Belief Plans have no roaming chargers for anything within the United States.

Does anyone have experience with those android-on-an-hdmi-sticks? I'm thinking about getting one just to run splashtop streamer but I'm uncertain of a few things. The one feature I need is to be able to run apps full screen - splashtop keeps the android softkeys on screen and it screws with mirroring. Is there a good way to get a solution working?

Splashtop doesn't have to always show the softkeys. I use it with my TF201 all the time, and the softkeys only come up if you hit the keyboard button. If you hit the back button once with the keyboard up, it will go away.  Works like a charm!

Yeah they're really neat - in a way it's a bit like the Raspberry Pi, in the way people are using them for media centres, but usually with things like WiFi included and internal memory, so they're pretty much ready to go. They're often sold as a way of making a regular TV 'smart', which is a good way of putting it - I thought it would be great for my gran, set up the launcher with all the on-demand TV apps on the homescreen and she's good to go. You could even add a webcam for Skype later or something. If I could connect in remotely and control things if she ever gets stuck, it would be perfect

They all have bluetooth, so bluetooth trackpads, mice, and keyboards can be paired for control, as well as Bluetooth game controllers. Some have a USB port on them so that you can attach wired or wireless with usb dongle input as well. A few have the ability to be hooked up to an IR receiver to be controlled by a regular universal remote. Nintendo Kid fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Mar 8, 2013 |

This question has probably been asked several times but I scanned the OP and a few links and didn't find an answer. I have a G2 / Desire Z still running stock carrier-updated Gingerbread. I'm planning on rooting it tonight and my original plan was to install Cyanogen but it looks like Cmod support for the G2 ends at 7.2 which is also Gingerbread based. I was wondering if there is a hardware reason why it shouldn't be updated to an ICS based ROM (or at least something newer than 2.3) or if it was just too much trouble to support a three year old device? If there are other ROMs that are better suited, what are they? For the record, this is my fourth Android phone and I have successfully rooted the three previous (G1 and two myTouch Slides), I just didn't bother with this one for a while.

If you hit the back button once with the keyboard up, it will go away I guess it must be a software difference, I wish it behaved that way on the N10. Hitting the back button only brings up a prompt asking if I'd like to disconnect, unless the keyboard is up, in which case it just closes the keyboard.

It's also extremely unlikely anyone in this thread has first hand experience with the Desire Z since it's approaching two and a half years old, it was based on the alread-six-month-old-at-the-time original Desire internals, and it was a somewhat-niche slider design released at a time when most people had accepted that touchscreens were The Future. In fact probably the only reason is has any kind of modern(ish) ROMs available at all is the fact that it's the technological second cousin of the Nexus One. The best you can do is probably to read around on XDA (yes, sorry) which seems to have a bunch of ROMs available based on different Android versions and see if you can find one that works for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=758 Sadly your phone has really already past the point where the hardware is going to struggle with newer versions, the drivers aren't being updated any more, and most developers will have moved on to newer devices.

It should also be mentioned that the G1 and Passion could be modded to fit and use these outsized ROMs (for the devices) because they had an unlocked bootloader. The G2 did not and in fact had a lot of tricks for the community to prevent them from doing the exact thing you need to do to get them to reformat the entirety of the internal storage. gfree was the go-to method with the G2 and assuming you can root you can install whatever but when it comes to reformatting the storage so it'd be big enough to install a 4.0+ ROM, I'm not sure the aftermarket community ever got that far. It doesn't help that it has a sub-1GHz single core processor that never got the kind of official support that the other Qualcomm devices of the era did. I can't imagine Ice Cream Sandwich would run acceptably on it even if the drivers had been ported successfully to work with it.

I need some help because this phone is driving me insane. I'm still on my epic 4g touch which was running AOKP, but I started noticing that some calls just weren't coming through for some reason and going straight to voicemail. I'm currently waiting for some prospective job offers to call back so I figured maybe the xda thread would have an update for me to fix a pretty huge problem, but there weren't any. Apparently the dev stopped working on it so I got led to a new thread that the dev had also stopped working on before I even managed to get to it. I thought I would do pretty well with roms if I just stuck to AOKP/cyanogenmod and didn't use anything with a stupid/"witty" name, but apparently the CM team quit working on the device as well. So my choices are now: - CyanogenMod 10.1 WILD FOR THE NIGHT: What I'm currently using now because anything is better than having a phone that can do lots of useless poo poo but has trouble being an actual phone. Except this rom has gyro issues so auto-rotate is hosed, and though I haven't used it yet apparently there are gps issues with maps/navigation. - AOKP JB 4.2.2 Magical Unicorn: I refuse to load anything that calls itself Magical Unicorn on my phone.  - Any of the other roms with dumb sounding names that all apparently do the same thing. Are there any roms I can install that don't have issues doing basic phone activities or should I just go back to stock? And if I do want to go back to stock, how do I do that? All I've found are one click tools for unrooting.
