screencast - LG Optimus 4X HD

Note: this method records on screen activity but it drops frames especially in games
because there's no working applications to capture video of whatever on 4x screen
I found this way to capture it but requires connecting phone to pc
Install DroidExplorer on your PC from here http://de.codeplex.com/releases/view/96251
Enable USB debugging From Settings -> Developer options in your phone
Connect your phone to PC
Start DroidExplorer and doubleclick your device named as serial number
in the program window press Screencast icon (android icon) (it requires java)
press run in security warning
now you get the phone screen on your PC press record button and you'll get your movie

Profiles for Windows Mobile

Does anybody know/use this program?
I think its THE application that I love the most on my PocketPC/Herald, but I never see it mentioned anywhere.
So I've deciced to make a post about the possibilities of this program:
(No I DO NOT work for them or know any of them personally )
What is it?:
- A piece of software that will let me create custom (phone) profiles for Windows Mobile Professional devices.
So, ok there are more programs like this, so why this program?:
- Because it is VERY clean on your TodayScreen, just one line displaying the profile selected.
So what makes me so excited about Profiles for Windows Mobile?
- Because every custom made profile allows you to run a program of choice.
You can then link that profile to start at a certain time, or start it manually by pressing a software button (or select the profile from the dropdown list on the todayscreen)
or a hardware button.
- You can also enable/disable the Phone/Wifi/Bluetooth per profile.
- You can also switch the screen (portrait/landscape) per profile.
This allows me to do the following on my Herald:
- I've created these profiles, which perform these steps:
* normal
this profile sets the phone volume to normal volume and starts every day at 7am.
* silent
this profile I select by hand if I don't want to be interrupted
* vibrate
this profile I select by hand and puts the Phone on...vibrate (go figure), nice for meetings
* internet
now it gets good, this profile I select by hand (an icon under programs) and does the following:
- sets the call/sms volume to a certain volume
- enable the WiFi connection
- start PocketIE
* itunes
i love this one 2, does the following (when I tap on the icon)
- sets the call/sms volume to a certain volume
- enable the WiFi connection
- start Salling Clicker (remote control for installed itunes on my pc)
* headphone
this is the most used one and I start it by simply pressing once on the right softkey button on my Herald:
- sets the volume of the phone ringer/sms low
- starts Coreplayer
Now I don't go DEAF anymore when someone is calling me
Here's the official site, but I really do recommend you get the slightly older version: 2.1.0.558, because it's slightly faster and works beautifully under WM6.1.

Edit: I know this looks like a big advertisement, but I just like the program and want to bring it under your attention and show you the possiblilities

short-cut to toggle between "USB to PC" options

Hi,
Is it possible to have a short-cut and set to certain button for:
setting - today - connection - USB to PC
I ask this is because I have to switch the device between
work with "Activesync" and work as "Hard drive" very frequently.
if there is a one-button movement to get "USB to PC" setting screen
immediately, that will be wonderful!
just make shortcut for windows\usb_to_pc.exe
Ethermind,
Thanks, it works!
> just make shortcut for windows\usb_to_pc.exe
You using WM6.5 ? It can prompt you to choose which mode you want each time you plug in a USB cable.
what i am searching for is usbtopcpopup.cab from htc ??
please let me know if someone has it..
thanks

Miui tips and tricks

Hey all,
I just ran into this site and being a new user of Miui, it totally blew my mind.
Now I know that most of these could be found on the miui forums but for the new guys/gals here you are

1. Long press on the icon in Toggles to launch the settings for that icon.
When you pull down the notification bar, you will see the Toggle settings for plenty of options (such as WIFI, volume, backlight etc). Long press on any icon in the Toggle mode will launch the setting for that icon.
2. Built-in Screen Capture function
One of the lacking feature in Android is the lack of a built-in screen capture feature (like in iPhone). Not anymore. With MIUI, you can press the “Menu” key and “Volume Down” key at the same time to capture a screenshot. The printed image is saved in the “MIUI: directory in the sd card.
3. Press Home key to preview screens
Pressing the Home button once will bring you back to the Home screen. Pressing the Home button button will show you all the screen thumbnails. You can also ad/remove screens from here.

12. Long press on the Home button to show History
Like any other Android ROM, long press on the Home button will show the recently used apps. However, in MIUI, there is also an App Killer and App Manager button. Swiping the popup left will show the search form.
13. Setting up IP dialing
If you need to add an IP prefix for a particular number in a strange land, you can set it in Settings -> Common -> Calls Settings. Turn the “Auto IP dialing” ON and set the IP prefix and current area code.
14. Send SMS for rejected calls
When you are not available to answer the phone, you may slide up the panel to reject the call and to send a message to the caller at the same time.
15. Enable 720P to record a video
If your phone comes with a camera that support HD recording, you can enable 720P in the Video mode. Run the Camera app and switch to Video. Select “High” -> “720P” in the pop-up menu of video quality.
16. Quickly uninstall an app
To uninstall an app, simply press and hold the icon until the trash bin show up at the top of the screen. Move the icon to the trash bin to uninstall the app.

problem with google home mini not working

Hello, I buy a second hand google home mini but this one has a problem.
when I plug it in it is not detected by the app home and I can not do anything with it.
the only thing he does is to give me the google presentation.
is there a way to reflash his memory or something else.
I specify that the reset button does nothing either ... help me please
I've done some digging on the internet and there are alot of threads about this.
Many solutions use the FDR button but you say it doesn't do anything at all.
Some people had to use the FDR button multiple times, maybe you can do some more resets.
Hold it for at least 15 Seconds, there should be a voice warning you that you're about to reset and erase your data.
Google home not being found in app
Can't find Google Home device in Google Home app
If you can't find a "Needs to be set up" Google Home device card within the Device section of the Google Home app (this section is found in the top right corner of the Google Home app's Home screen), try these steps.

Tap Location > Turn on location.
Tap Settings > Apps > Google Home app > Permissions.
Next to "Location", make sure the slider is On (toggled to the right and green)
General troubleshooting
If you've checked off all of the steps above and you still can't find your Google Home device, try one of the steps below and then look for your device. If you still can't find it, move to the next step.
Step 1. Reboot Google Home
Disconnect the power cable from Google Home
Reconnect power cable back into Google Home
Step 2. Force close and relaunch the Google Home app
From an IOS device
Press the Home button two times quickly. You’ll see small previews of your recently used apps.
Select the app you want to close and swipe up towards the top of the screen.
From an Android device
Launch the Recent Applications menu to see small previews of your recently used apps.

Perform a Factory Data Reset (FDR).
Or your mobile device or tablet, turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reopen the Google Home app and try set up again.

EMUI 10 Desktop Mode Issue

So last night i was messing with desktop mode and connecting to my LG TV to use Kodi on my TV, wireless projection was not working so i downloaded Miracast - wifi display and it worked, but maybe there's better apps for this.
It showed the EMUI desktop mode, and i launched Kodi and it opens a window with the app, similar to normal windows desktop. But i wanted it full screen and for some reason i could not do it.
Tried to click many times in the maximize button on the top right of the window, button it was not working, even clicking the X to close the app was not working.
Disabling desktop mode and using mirror mode i can rotate and show full screen, but that is not the way i want to use it, because that way i cant use my phone for anything else.
Could it be the app i used? The screen share from LG?
EDIT: I can use wireless projection without any other app, thats good i think and i found that the issue must be Kodi itself, bbecause if i open other apps, tried 2 or 3, the maximize and fullscreen buttons highlight when the cursor is on them, that does not happen with kodi, and i can click and maximize the window or use full screen, but the Kodi app is not working for that.
Have to say i haven't tried other apps, will do later.
Solution: Right click KODI app icon on task bar (two finger tap on virtual touchpad) and select to open the app in full screen.
