[Q] All HDMI out behaving strangely - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I'm running laytveyit v5 and have installed ubuntop according to the directions on the main post. Everything seemed to install fine and the phone runs really well. I'm just having some strange issues my searching isn't getting answers for.
Issue 1 is HDMI mirroring. It's worked properly once and I have no idea why. I plug in my cable and the atrix knows it's there and I select HDMI mirroring and that's as far as it gets. The tv just shows the screen as it was when I selected mirroring, nothing changes, just sits there, even rotates if I turn the phone. Any ideas on that?
Issue 2 is ubuntop loads and just has desktop and a blank phone view window. The menu/dock has never shoed up properly, but the phone view part also only worked one time and I have no idea why. Ideas for that one?
I apologize if these are easily fixed issues, I really have searched and found nothing that will help.

Apparently no one knows what's up here. Sad face.

When you plug the HDMI, there is a popup that lets you choose an action. You most likely checked the little check box in the popup which makes mirroring the default action.
Try clearing the cache for the HDMI picker. (don't know its exact name)

No box checked, I get the picker everytime, it just doesn't seem to want to work for some reason.

Looks like it was the rom at fault. Installed noattchrix and it's been running like a champ all day.

I get the keyboard issue a lot and its very annoying. I don't know how this app is rated so high on the market with all of these issues.

Since my Vibrant is my first android since the G1 (only had it for about a year) I am not sure if this is a specific problem with the app or just with the Vibrant.
Does not crash when using eugene's hybrid

Yep, lots of crashes here. I can only get 3 posts and then it's a force close and upon starting again I get a un responsive keyboard.
Yeah I get crashes in my vibrant all the time..i came gee to post about it, saw this and at least I'm not alone ha. Some time nothing happens but it says it crashed...other time I have to close the program orry I can't use swype keyboard

Get the same problem. Its inconsistent though. Someone else gave me the tip if you get locked out turn your KB into landscape and it will work again. I also noticed if you prompted to log back in, press cancel, then back (@ loading prompt) and you will still be logged in. I'm thinking this might be party of the problem though.
anyone know if this is exclusive to the Vibrant or if it is just with the android in general?

I use the app on my compal tablet with no problem, but on my vibrant it acts up sometimes. Last night every single time I would post the app would pop a FC window and would put me back to the main menu of the app. The KB issue I've seen in other apps such as facebook and even "send dev an email" in the market, so it may not be an issue with just xda app.

MX Video Player

Anyone here have this installed and now having issues since the last update to this app?
I ask because I don't want to give bad feedback to the developer of the app is it's just me and specially since it's free...
Thanks for reading and posting

Update to anyone that may care send email to developer hope for a reply or that more people have the same issue to get a fix.

Maybe if you gave us a little more information as to what "issues" your having, someone can try to replicate them.
The issue im having is the following ever since the last update came out for this app about 3 days ago.
If I click on the video I want to see and it will show for a second and then the screen goes black. As if the screen times out. So then I have to click the power button to turn the screen on and see that the video is still running yet I only see it for about a second again before I'm kicked out and again screen goes black and I press the power button and unlock the screen again and after that hope the video is almost over or have to turn off the phone because it wont let me do nothing unless the video is done. Not even the captive buttons respond once the video is running. It's almost as if it was a force close but the thing is still running. Also I have tried same videos on the stock player and double twist and they play just fine no issues.
I have since removed the app till I hear from developer or see that the app has been updated. It's also a shame because I had just come put with a Pro version and was willing to buy but wanted to see what the update did before purchasing it.

The issue is absent in my experience. It seems to work fine. My phone is rooted though, that might have something to do with the permissions needed to keep the screen active; but i doubt it.
I assume you have the correct codec installed.
Maybe there is a glitch only when updating... I installed mine after the update so it was a clean install.
Are you streaming or playing the videos locally?

I'm using the right codec and the video is local on the 2 SD card those same videos worked fine before the update. Also I did try removing both app and codec and then redownloading to same old story of it not working. I do want to point out I'm not rooted ... But don't see how that would have anything to do if it use to work right before the last update...

Update:
Just got email from dev and he said the following
" did you use a brightness control utility? similar problem has been reported when display brightness is forcibly lowered."
I replied to him telling yes that I downloaded a Brightness Toggle Widget and had it said to 0% and after I got his email re DL the app and codec and now it's back to normal
Anyways i want to thank the dev of the app and anyone that try to help out. Also hope this helped anyone and let's support great apps like this one and many more with great developers that reply back and don't just see you as a quick $.

Text search in browser not working?

1) Go to the browser and load a web page (like the full version of engadget.com).
2) Zoom in on the text and then tap and hold on a word.
3) In the options that come up, select "search".
No matter which option I select (Wikipedia, Google, Translate, Dictionary), nothing happens. Is this working for anyone else on their AT&T Note? It worked fine on my Skyrocket.
I have changed a few browser settings, like zoom. Wondering if that's affecting it somehow.
No one has tried this? I'd like to know if my Note is the only one doing this.
Just tried this out for you, seems to work on my device...google then wikipedia both work.

Damn. Okay, thanks. Not sure what's causing mine to not work. As far as I can tell, it has never worked on this phone.
Okay, did a clear data on the browser app and it's working now. Odd.
This thread has officially become redundant unless anyone else has a similar issue down the road.

YouTube not working anymore

Is the Nexus Q icon missing in YouTube for anyone else. Seems like the newest updates have broken integration of the Q in YouTube.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
make sure your on the right network as Q
I noticed this issue recently as well.
I have already made sure both are on the same network. I've reboot both a couple of times. I have tried multiple phones.
No go.
I'm going to try a factory reset and see if that helps.
I'm definitely on the same network... Music works fine.

You should check if HDMI is connected and if TV/Display/Monitor is turned on.
If there is no HDMI device, youtube is not working.

Turns out it was an issue with my TV... Didn't realize that it would cause the icon to disappear from the app.

4.3 update concerns.

1st the camera forcing the transition scale to 1x which to my knowledge there is no fix. I have factory reset and no luck. 2nd. There is some lag here and there. Has anyone else experienced it and have you found a fix?

For some reason my MMS media not working, group conversation working, SMS working.
New hangout crashing with MMS
after 4.3(with root) update
4.3 SUCKS!!
I have applications that keep opening on their own the main one is Samsung Music Player and I don't even have an icon in the app drawer for that??!!?? Also I went from 12-14 hours on a charge to 8-10. I have the same car charger issue mentioned above, I have to plug and unplug it 3 or 4 times for it to work and it is the car charger that came with the phone bundle. Does anyone know if it is possible to flash back to 4.2.2??
No longer seeing media files on ext sd card
I just received the ota 4.3 update on my Verizon Samsung S4 (I545) with no problems, everything went very smoothly. Now I notice that Gallery no longer sees my pictures on my ext sd card as it used to prior to the update. Also my ringtones, videos, etc. which are stored on my ext sd card are no longer being "seen". All of these files are visible and fully accessible through a file manager but it is like the media scan isn't working. Anyone have a fix for this?? Thanks.
Note: After finally doing a full factory reset the problem is now fixed. I suppose some rogue third party application messed something up.
I'm having trouble, when I go into text messaging app, it seems like the keyboard takes additional time to load after the text app. Do not like it

Okay so it looks like the issue with the car charging is only on some chargers. Used a different one and it worked fine. Also I can force my car charger to work by plugging it in and restarting the phone leaving it plugged it. When it boots back up it charges. No fix yet for the transition scale issue or the lag.

I'm having trouble with browser lagging up. Doesn't matter if I use stock, firefox, next, dolphin, etc I encounter quite a bit of lag.
