HDMI out no longer works. - Motorola Droid 3

I'm not sure when it stopped working because before tonight I hadn't used it in probably 6 months.
The port seems fine and appears to be clean and dust free, but nothing happens when I plug it in to a TV anymore.
The only thing that's changed software wise is I accepted the update from Verizon a couple months back and then had to re-root the phone. I froze some of the bloat apps with titanium backup... is it possible I killed one that is required for HDMI out?

Yes.

Any idea which app? I unfroze everything and it's still not working.

DLNA.apk and DlnaSystemService.apk perhaps?

Weird "minimizing" problem.

I've been getting this more and more lately. The app I'm using will do a "minimize" animation to the top of the screen, then come back. Sometime it will be just once, other times it will happen several times in a row. This happens when in my hand or in my car holder, seemingly at any time.
Has anyone had this happen?

I posted a similar issue here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/moto-x-qa/unknown-app-flashing-toggling-wifi-t2672301
I believe it's related to wifi switching on and off, but have not found what app is causing the screen to flash.
I think it may be related to the OTA waiting to install, as it started happening around that time, but I'm not sure.
Yes! I had the minimizing problem also--it went away as soon as I disabled/froze the OTA app. It was horribly annoying! So glad that fixed it!

What was the name of the app which needed to be frozen? I have tried freezing all "updater" apps and it is still happening.

The "friendly" name is MotoOTA, not sure of the full name.
Yeah I have been delaying the updating app. That must be it. I'm waiting for my unlock code, should I just update to 4.2.2, or wait for unlock.

I can't say for sure that being on 4.4.2 fixed it, but I am on 4.4.2 now and it is not happening anymore.
I unlocked my bootloader and did the 4.4.2 SBF, unlocked and rooted. I installed probably 99% of the same apps (only ditched 1-2 that I never used anymore) and I am not having the flashing issue anymore.
Hard to tell for certain if the pending OTA was the cause, but it may have been.

[Q] Galaxy S5 system crashing constantly?

I have an unrooted Galaxy S5. A few days ago, I was using the phone (can't remember an app) when the phone froze completely for about 5 seconds and then restarted. Ever since it recovered, the phone has had all sorts of problems: app crashes (Chrome in particular), dropped calls, very slow performance, and very slow gallery and camera. I haven't installed any apps recently.
Does anyone know what would cause this? Am I correct in assuming that the only way to fix this is a factory reset?

I'm no expert, but usually a full factory reset helps Try wiping cache from recovery too, that could help. If all else fails then there's nothing (except a hard paperweight) that a reset can't fix

It's strange that so many unrelated things would stop working but they all sound software/OS related so the wipe will probably fix it. You could clear app data for a few separate apps & see if one is the culprit but it might be a deeper problem like play services or something.

I'll admit to some f.c. on apps but nothing to do with the system crashing. Maybe try a fresh flash through Odin and a factory reset before fullboot. Also towel rooted. And how bad does this locked bootloader suck.

Not getting notifications

So prior to update i'm pretty sure i was not having this issue.
Now, i'm updated and have not been getting my notifications.
What i have done to see if the issue can be fixed
-reset my phone
-reset the watch
-factory reset watch
-re-install app
After i do some of the steps above it will work but then eventually goes back to the same ole crap of not working. I'm getting a little irritated....
Thoughts?
Nobody?

Try to uninstall any non Wear app, reset and see what it does "clean". I had similar problems any time I used none Wear stuff. It works OK now with only Instaweather and Battery Wear installed. Mini Wear Launcher seems particularly difficult [emoji19]
So are you saying that the mini wear launcher causes issues?
Possibly... Mine works fine without and other threads also mention that they have problems with it. With all the respect for the developers, everything before the 5.0.1 update were more or less hacks because Google never published a developer kit until a few days ago. They all have to update their apps now this kit is available.

Well, i think its a software issue so i am going to do process of elimination by starting to delete apps to see if one makes it stop.
Deleted:
-Rain Alarm: Still drops notifications
-Facer: Pending.......
I would proceed the other way around. Start clean to see if it's really a buggy apps that causes the fault. If yes then install one after the other to find the culprit...
I am now, nothing on it now. Gonna add something every 24 hours to see what happens.

Fingers crossed [emoji6]
Here should be the fix to this:
Go to your phone's settings, on my Nexus 6 there is a notification tab, you go to whatever your's is called, and find the checkbox to enable notifications to your android wear app. Hope this helps! Feel free to give me thanks.

Reduced voice to text capability?

Has anyone else noticed a reduced ability of the voice to text capability, that it can no longer translate long phrases? I've also noticed that it often connects on the first try during a search, but quickly cancels itself, needing a second try to get it right.
That happened before the update to me it SUCKED.. TRY resetting voice cleaning cache and rebooting once or twice

Ok, crud, not finding the specific app. What the heck am I supposed to look for?!?

Update, I was gonna do a factory reset after an update/backup, and the Turbo went through the app updating thing like when switching to ART. When I took LP, it did it, but I guess not 100%. As right now, all searches go through on the first try. I WAS thinking of re-ARTing the Turbo in the first place, but had no knowledge how to force it. If someone knows how, PLZ post!
Ok, looks like the was some kind of conflict with Better Keyboard 8's voice-to-text. A quick round trip to safe mode seems to have ironed things out for now.

Froze twice!!

Last night and today it completely froze had to press power and volume down to reboot removing swiftkey just to see if that is the cause anyone else with freezing issues.
No freezing issues here at all. Been using it for two days now. Maybe a restore will help?
my wife had to do this 4 times in 2 weeks, any idea what caused it, is it still happening to you, anyone else?

It only happens when I install Swiftkey keyboard for some odd reason I use secure folder and I think Swiftkey doesn't play nice with secure folder let me know please.
Mine only did it while trying to get action memo to work with the incorrect version of s-notes.

That's odd as well I'm using Google g board and have no issues now
Had mine since the 19th of September with no freezes or reboots. You can boot into safe mode and if it doesn't freeze it's definitely something you've installed. If it freezes in safe mode I'd see about getting it replaced.

It was definitely switfkey that caused the freezing

Do you use secure folder?
Maybe the fact that there are 2 Swiftkey apps that can cause the issue of freezing
Yes I use secure folder but not to often

No, it wasn't odd. When I used the correct version of s-notes action memo worked fine.
Action memo isn't supported anymore.

Got cha as for me switfkey was the issue
Yes--Secure Folder has been freezing frequently on me. I am wondering if it is related to my Xfinity wifi or my NordVPN or strongSwan VPN. It seems to freeze less when I use 4G. Do you use those VPNs or wifi? Reply to [email protected]. Thank you
