The touchscreen is supposed to basically turn itself into a trackpad like you'd get on a laptop.
Is there a mouse pointer on your TV display at all?

Yes it is supposed to become a track pad... accept when it was on GB on GB the screen was just black and needed an external pointing device... although I am sure that you have upgraded to at least ICS...

Unlock with front Buttons

Hi there,
I'm planing to integrate a Dell Streak 7 as HeadUni into my car.
The Streak has just arrived but there one or two issues I can't handle.
First at all: If I build the Streak into my car, I can't reach the on/off Button anymore. I don't wont to seperate the button from the Tablet so I want to use the front Buttons for unlocking. Is there a simple workaround for this? I think there should be a software-solution for this problem.
Next problem is my connection to the steering-wheel-audio-control-buttons. I realy want to have vol-up and vol-down woking on this thing. My plan is tu modificate a simple blue-tooth Keyboard for this. Is there a possebility to create some Keyboard shortcuts for vol-up, vol-down and so on? (for example with he + and - keys?)
There some still some other issues, but this two are very important for my project, so it would be great if anybody could help me.
Thanks alot, and sorry for my poor English!
Greetings,
Sören
edit:
okay, seems that I have found a solution for the first problem...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683902
But, when it's totaly shut down, a still can't boot it... Can't see a solution for this quite now...
Nor will you find one. If you want full functionality you need to take the Streak part and extend all buttons by hardwire extensions.. And don't forget the occasional hang up for which you will need the reset button. Or mount in in a way where you have access to everything

That doesn't sound good...
I'm thinking about a solution with a docking station. So that I can remove the tablet an use it outside of the car...
But in that case I have to make bigger modifications to the car itself... and thats not the way I want to go with this project...

You really don't wanna for that route either unless you can truly secure the Streak to the dock and ELIMINATE vibration.... Mess up the pins and your Streak becomes worthless if you lose access to it for charging or file transfer

Keep in mind that using the phone while connected to AC can cause those issues. Try it not connected before anything, that could be your cable/adapter fault

Yeah that's true. I have had this kind of issues since I charge my phone with universal USB charger and USB-micro USB wire. If you're experiencing these issues during charging. The only way to delete them is to wait full charge and UNPLUG it before touching the screen
If not, as said previously maybe the digitizer but I can't help you sorry :/

Lapdock / Hdmi mirror for CM10

lapdock hack for non moto roms
in 3 easy steps
1: setprop persist.hwc.mirroring.region 0:0:540:960
2: download http://www.mediafire.com/file/3qvatv41t92u330/mirror.zip
copy dssmgr to /system/bin/ and hwcomposer.omap4.so to /system/vendor/lib/hw/
3. reboot, attach lapdock then hdmi and kill and restart dssmgr (otherwise you'll get 640x480 instead of 1366x768)
Enjoy! no warranties, 1366x768 only.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/blhonnzxflghb8u/dssmgr
this one shouldn't need to be killed and restarted, but it may reset the display occasionally. ymmv
Edit: http://www.mediafire.com/file/1wy1j2x8rivj3gd/dssmgr(2)
this one fixes teh one minute display resets. but only sets teh resolution once on hdmi detect.
Sorry I don't understand the first step you listed. "1: setprop persist.hwc.mirroring.region 0:0:540:960" what does this part mean?

Type that into a root shell. Terminal emulator after running su on phone or via adb shell on pc.
Ohh okay. Thanks kfazz!
Hey kfazz,
Sorry to bother again but right now I plugged my phone into the dock and the dock's screen wont turn on. The mouse shows on the phone's screen and it works just fine. What step am I missing?

Same here.
I'm having the same problem as well. Only have the mouse pointer on the phone and still a blank screen on the lapdock.
are you guys running dssmgr after you attach the lapdock?
otherwise it wont work.
attach phone to lapdock
open terminal on phone
su
killall dssmgr
/system/bin/dssmgr
then open lid
it should work
it's a pain, but its due to the hdmi event not being debounced properly. jb kernel has a fix for this, so once i stop being lazy i'll probably rewrite this prog.
i do have a rom with lapdock working properly tho:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38953989
but it isn't cm.
i think i'll wait for you to rewrite the prog then x)
Sorry to necropost, but will this enable all dock support, such as car docks or is this specific to the lapdock? Also should this be able to work on CM10.2? I am planning to try it out tomorrow, just want to see if there are any others who have tried.

Just tried this with my HD dock and could not get it to load into Dock Mode. Have not tested HDMI.
I tried it on CM 10.2 but it only bootloops and gives blackscreen. phone wont turn on again.
Tried on CM 10.1. Got the mouse and keyboard to work but no hdmi
This probably has an easy fix!! I use the lapdock often, only the lack of compatibility with it is keeping me from using CM.

i just made a post regarding this earlier tonight = / and the car mode is now happening to me now. I called htc support like 5 hours ago and they were absolutely no help at all. "reboot your phone into safe mode" did that "is the problem still occurring?" why yes it is still not charging when on... then they say it must be a hardware problem and to use my warranty and thanked me for my patience and please continue using htc.
I dont know why they have tech support that does not know how to support a recent common occurring problem. I don't even mind the warranty phone as much but i just took a ton of photos and videos the last month and i cant even back them up to my computer now.

Hey after reading through that other thread i did what they said about turning off the developer options and fast boot and it seems to be charging when plugged into the wall but it still will not connect to the computer. Also seems like the car mode is not turning on any more and after resetting it a few times earlier the apps do not open in landscape. So the only issue that remains is the usb connection to the computer although the whole situation is still ridiculous and i do not know how htc wants to pass it off as a hardware issue = / if you find a solution please let me know.

After I restart my phone by pressing volume down key and power key with charger plugged in, it starts to charge and also charge when connected to pc but pc wont detect it. No USB drive no syn manager. (note- I dont not enter bootloader by restarting. just leave power and volume down key immediately after screen is off, else u will get in Bootloader.)
I cant even root.
Any way I think i will sell this phone if no problem occurs.
Regards,
Also if i change any setting regarding USB connection type or developers option or fast boot option and charging stops and i have to again plug in charger and start with power and volume down key.
Other than that some problems keep rising like speaker get on automatically when i take call , dial screen rotates, it keep asking "complete action with day dream or Tunein radio"
Yeah idk now my phone seems to be working fine but yesterday I list sound for like 10 hours so I just called my carrier and they are sending me a new one. Hope you manage to get a decent amount of cash for your phone man

Doesn´t seem to be too unsusual.
My phone (unrooted) began with the not charging problem after about three weeks. There is also a notification telling that I should connect a charger that is supported (shouldn't the original charger from HTC be supported). About at the same time it also decided that all apps should run in landscape mode and it at the same time become a painful thing to answer the phone by routine as it decided to activate the loudspeaker.
The problems are however quite intermittent and disappears and comes back without any known trigger.
I had the device on service when they updated firmware, run what ever tests they run and tried to charge it. All tests passed and I got it back. Everything seemed ok but day two the phone refused to charge again. Back to the store again where they also tried to charge but (luckily enough) got the same result as I.
It seems like if the battery is totally drained, the device starts charging after some while. Before it starts charging as it should, the red light goes on and off for some time.
I have exactly the same symptoms with my HTC One. It does not change until it's fully empty and turned off. Then it does change. The orange LED blinks 5 times and after that it start blinking very slowly.
I sended my phone on repair. True a webportal Im able to see any progression. I noticed they also uploaded a photo, see attachment.
It clearly seems to be missing a small element on the motherboard. (near the arrow). What I find weird thought, is that it seems to be the head of the phone and not the bottom near the USB port.
They also had some trouble opening the device as you can see between the two white stickers on the bottom of the phone. I'll keep you posted on any progression...

It didn`t always start charging. Sometimes I have had to plug the connector in 10 or 20 times before anything happened. Otherwise it did not start charging until the battery was completely drained.
Everytime it does not charge, the little icon in the left corner tells me that I should connect a supported device.
I sent a question to HTC support about the problem and got the recommendation to send it to a repair center (where it already is) and they actually gave an answer on my question if HTC are aware about the problems. The answer was "We know about it and work on a solution".
Interesting if that actually is true and not just a too quick answer from someone that wanted to close the case at the a technical support.
Has anybody else asked the question?
Any one having charging and USB problem with HTC One had ever charged his/her phone by any other charger (not the charger u get in box) even for once ? I did that all the time !!!
Yeah, I always used a Samsung charger with mine and it works a treat, I just sent mine back to my network provider and they sent it off for repair, obviously, they put it down as a hardware issue and replaced the damaged device with a refurbished device which I don't care about because of rather have one that works than not

Note 4 Cracked LCD, data recovery

Hey guys!
I'm, currently running Maximum OvrDriVE v7.1.1.
So, I dropped my phone and my lcd is out, but somehow the glass and my tempered glass didn't crack one bit haha!
Anyways, can someone walk me through the process of enabling ADB using the recovery?
I'm currently using TWRP, I'm not sure if TWRP responds to volume controls but if I need to install clockwork so I can navigate the menus thats fine.
And remember, my screen is out so I can't see anything. I just need someone to walk me through the process of what sequence of buttons to press in order to flash a zip file, using clockworkmod recovery.
If someone can do that let me know what version you're running of the recovery so we can make sure our keypresses are the same.
If someone though can explain an easier way to enable ADB without having a screen let me know please, thanks!
ps. I can already access my internal SD, i just need ADB to backup my apps. Thanks!
Use an hdmi cable so you can use your tv as monitor. Hopefully the touch screen still works so you navigate.

I have a broken lcd too, and this.. is a smart idea
As far as I can tell, my touchscreen still works.
And I hope that HDMI could work but I'm not certain if it would. But that's a good idea.
