[Q] Having a hard time starting. Need help getting passed this seemingly minor issue.

I'm following a course from StackSkills to learn how to develop applications. I'm using Andriod Studio SDK. I am still in the absolute beginning and in the video it showed to drag a widget to the "phone?" and when I tried doing that it didn't allow me to. When I try to drag onto the phone it displays a "cancel" symbol where the pointer would be. I apologize beforehand if this is not the proper location for the thread. I'm new here as well. Thanks for any help.

Getting Bcmon working?

I'm going to start out first by saying this:
FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE ONLY

Ok, now that's out of the way, I want to use bcmon to allow my Evo4G's Broadcom BCM4329 to enter monitor mode.
I have been trying a bunch of different ways to get it to work, but it simply won't.
They say it's confirmed working on CM7.2, so that's what I'm running.
After using the bcmon app my wireless get "error" while turning on and using any of the tools in the bcmon app causes it to force close.

My Evo 4G is running:
Radio-2.15.00.12.19 and PRI-2.33
S-Off HTC Unlocked.
CM 7.2 stable
Mason G - v0.14 nosbc fso kernel (stock CM7.2 kernel won't mount /sdcard/.

Could anyone help be figure out how to get this working?

LG Leon not getting 3G/4G in Spain

Hi,
I have just return from US and I got a LG Leon from MetroPCS to sty connected while there. Now that I am back I unlocked the phone via unlock app. My surprise came when I put me Spanish SIM card (Jazztel) and the phone only gets 2g connection. I have been searching the net and I found some threads on the topic but I can not make any of them work on my phone. First I tried changing the radio to Europe mode through *#*#4636#*#*, and I enter the test page but when I click the phone info button I get a message that states that I can not run that application on this device. I thought it was because I wasn't root so I rooted it. But before I could root I had to downgrade by flashing an older firmware. No way, I get the same message. I tried the hidden menu to see if I could find an entry to change the radio mode, or any type of LTE configuration. Hidden menu on my phone though 277634#*#. I also tried the anycut option, but I do not get any facility called LTE configuration or similar.
I am desperate and I do not know how to proceed. Any help is welcome
Thanks in advance

I keep getting this anoying popup! Do you know which app is this from?

Guys,

As in the topic. I keep getting this popup: Do you know which application generates this sh*t? I do not have any memory optimizers installed :mad::mad:

Cardboard- getting double vision?

Hi,
The cardboard still works on games which have their native implementation of side-by side graphics. It also worked on apps which were using cardboard v1 sdk. The cardboard template I used to make mine was http://pcpress.rs/download/MojAndroi...t_yourself.pdf

Now, in cardboard v2 apps, the left and right images are way apart from each other, so, its impossible for human eyes to focus.
Here is a screenshot :


So, is there any way to make cardboard apps work on this device?

Not getting any notifications on wifi

Whenever my phone is sitting on WiFi I don't get any notifications. Email, texts and other apps don't notify me. As soon as I turn off WiFi or go out of range and connect to 3g or 4g I immediately get all my missed notifications.

It seems that the issue is while the screen is off. When it's on I do get messages and notifications.

Anybody else have this issue or know how to troubleshoot it?

I've tried while completely stock, stock rooted, custom roms, custom kernels... Everything. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Any trick to getting 20G update?

Hi folks,

Brand new D851 here! I want to get it fully updated to 20G before going ROM happy. I'm aware of the 20G flashable ZIP (here) but figured I'd just get it to download. The phone (new, from Amazon, unlocked) came with kitkat. I skipped the setup process and have no SIM in it; once I connected it to wireless it promptly downloaded and installed 20E. But there it sits. It doesn't seem to understand 20G should be waiting. Repeated checks for updates don't goose it along.

Is there some trick to this?

I will probably quickly exit stock, and then set up maybe Blisspop or something similar for 5.1.1, configuring for AT&T (I'm on ATT and bought the D851 due to unlocked bootloader).

I'm not shy flashing the zip I referenced above, just figured it might be better to update via the normal route if possible.

Thanks in advance!

Just ordered one and getting ready

Hi Guys. I took advantage of an ultra good deal and my Nexus player will be here friday. You've read threads like this many times before but I'm not being lazy (just strapped for time with work and my toddler.) So, I'd love to devote more time to playing with my new toy rather than googling everything there is. I have a handle on basics but if there's anything that the current guides don't cover (tips, tricks etc) please let me know.
Also, I love the idea of running CM 12.1. It was supposed to happen on fire tv but never did. However, I'm not crazy about using my bt keyboard for the set top box. I want to use the stock remote. BTW-does mouse toggle app work on this? Is it possible to use leanback launcher on CM 12.1 so we can have remote functionality and the cool CM features?
Really looking forward to this. Anything you think would be useful to get me going like if there is a thread or web page like "Getting started with Nexus player" please let me know. Thanks!

Anyone else getting intermittent "No SIM Card" error?

I'm on Verizon, my SIM was a microSIM originally, it came with my Galaxy S3. I cut it down with a SIM cutter a while back to use it with a Moto X (original version), it worked fine for a long time in that phone. I just moved it over to my N5X this morning, and a few hours later the phone has twice told me that no SIM is installed. I had to remove the SIM tray and re-insert it to make it work. Anyone else having this problem?

Thinking of getting Fire TV Stick

Stationed overseas, looking at buying a FireTV Stick to run Kodi and other apps on it.

What are the pro's and con's of it?
What apps should I install on it?
I have a ton of movies/tv shows, could I stream from my iMac to it? (This isn't needed to much)

I've had Kodi before on my devices, so figured a FireTV Stick would be a cheap alternative to have it on my Sharp Smart TV.
