Moga controller issues - AT&T LG Optimus G

Is anybody else having issues getting it to connect? Sometimes mine connects, other times it just plain doesn't detect in the Bluetooth menu.

Yeah happens with me to. I think it's a timing thing. Like the controller goes into rtard mode if it doesn't connect almost immediately after its turned on.
If I open moga ime then turn on Bluetooth in notifications quickly and the controller then do a scan for devices in moga ime it will normally connect without a problem.

Mine doesnt connect at all on an atrix 4g nor on a mytouch slide 3g. It doesnt even appear in the bluetooth menu.

Don't try and connect through the menu, load up he app then hit the switch on the Moga... Then hit next on the app and it will connect, I have been using the Moga since Launch day on this phone and not had any issues when I do it this way.

Thanks but When it asks me to pair the moga it takes me to the bluetooth menu and doesnt detect it. If i hit back it takes me to a screen saying that its syncing but then it states that my moga controller wasnt found. You think it might be defective?

I think I figured it out, I bought brand new batteries and tried again, and what do you know? It worked right away with no problems

This worked perfect on my atrix turns out batteries were good but not good enough for bluetooth.

I was thinking of buying this controller. Can you guys confirm that it was only a battery issue for it? I don't want to buy it and also have issues with it. Thanks!

I've used it since this phone launched, actually have two mogas now, they both work great.

What works for me every time is the following:
Never turn off your Moga with the power switch. Let it turn off by itself.
While on sleep mode (all leds black), press the sync button and, while holding it, launch the Moga app *OR* a game that supports Moga.
If you opt to launch the Moga app, make sure it's not already open (go to task manager and close it before anything).
Keep holding the sync button until it turns green. If you let it go before that, you might have to start over.
When done playing, simply turn off the bluetooth of your phone.
If for some reason you lost the sync during the game (which happens), just keep pressed the sync button until it goes green.
Again, never switch the power off, the controller will always turn off after a few minutes without activity.

[Q] Bluetooth call and proximity sensor

Greetings all!
Firstly, thank you to all you devs that have put so much time in creating such slick ROMs. Me and my not so EOL Eris greatly appreciate it!
My question involves a bluetooth headset and the proximity sensor. I've been searching for quite awhile for a solution but have yet to find one that involves the Eris. I also haven't found anyone else with this problem so maybe it's only me.
But anyway I'm using GSBv2.5, and when I'm connected to a call using my bluetooth headset the proximity sensor is disabled. So the screen will not turn off when I place the phone in my pocket, and when it finally times out and the screen turns off, I can only turn it back on using the END, which effectively ends the call. Is there any way to enable it, or is this currently being worked on?
I've also tried enabling the use of the trackball to wake the phone, but that doesn't seem to be working with my Eris.
Thanks
I have never heard of this feature, or admittedly, ever used a bluetooth headset.
Has it worked that way for you on other android phones before?

Yep, this is pretty standard with the non-stock ROMs. You can turn the display on by holding Vol-Up while pressing the call key without losing the call. (I think holding VolDn works as well.)

Yes it has. I remember it working on the stock ROM before I started using the other ROMs. I also want to say it was working with xtrROM, but I'm not too sure.

Thank you, that's what I figured. I didn't know about the Vol/call combinations! The VolUp/Call combo works like a charm! Is there a key combo to turn the screen off? Maybe I can checkout the power widgets or something.
I've played around with switching between Bluetooth/Speaker/Neither and noticed that the proximity sensor doesn't work when I'm using either the bluetooth or the speaker for the call. But once I turn those off, the sensor works just fine. I'm thinking this is set in some configuration file, but I'm not sure which one. Any suggestions?

Odd Behavior?

I'm rooted. I have SPB 3D Shell and about 80 app's. I love the phone and I usually just listen to Pandora or ZumoCast. The last 3 days, I have, for the most part, not touched the phone.
Yesterday, it started freezing between screen. When I try to go back to home screen, it was black. I had to press and hold the home button until latest open apps came up, then select home? I got rid of SBP 3D with no success.
Now, here is a real kicker. I bring up my last dialed numbers. Lets say, for instance, I want to call Joker (Had to pick on someone). I will press that, nothing. I will press it again, nothing. I press it again, nothing. I get mad and put it down. the next time i turn the screen on, it will dial joker. I hang up, it immediately dials him again. I hang up, again it will call him! Once for each time I hit the button. When I make calls, it could take me 45 seconds to hang up!
I rebooted. I removed the battery, soft reset. I'm lost! If I was doing something or recently installed an app, that would explain it. Wed she was my baby, Thurs she went to he** and I have no clue?
Think it's kernel lag... I been having those issues also.. From stock to skinny to cm7...

but I swear to you, I have sent @ 30 text and made exactly 9 phone calls. Nothing else, no news, no stocks, no banking, no pictures, notta (I have been busy at work, but damm)
Any clue how to fix said "Kernel lag?"
I also had a lot of lag at one time and was able to isolate it to GoWeather. I've been using GoLauncher for a while and thought I'd try their weather app. Soon after, I started having serious lag with everything so I got rid of GoWeather and all is well again. Perhaps SPB has a similar problem with one of their add-ons?
Well folkes, dont ask me who, what, why, where, or how. SPB 3D Shell somehow automatically restarted (No, I did not power off/on the phone?) and as of last night, phone was 100% back like nothing ever happen in the first place?
All I did was plug it in Satruday AM, made one call in the afternoon, plugged it back in, made work call from 1:00AM-5:00AM Sunday, plugged it back in, heard text notification @5:00PM, unplugged and noticed that SPB 3D was on, flashed thru the different panels...............back to normal?
I did not think about it until just now with beartrap's post, I mentioned I turned off SPB 3D, when I did that, my Weather & Toggle Widget disappeared from my home screen? I left it that way as I did not feel like playing with phone the was it was acting. Then, as stated above, out of the blue, everything was back to normal.
I had some problems with spb after the last update. Haven't been using it for about a week now.

Now that you mentioned it, 12/08/2011, latest SBP and Weather Toggle Widget Update is EXACTLY when I started having issues (slowness & freezing) but it did not go full blown cahos until the 15th.
Looking back now, I do remember off-&-on moving between panels, it would freeze for a second then reload SPB 3D, then go to home screen? I just never thought to look?
Lastly, because I have Sprint and the fact that i'm lazy and hate the automatic notifications, all my app's are set to Auto Update, so pin point a culprit......I will change it back tonight.
Still odd though, how both of them turned themself back on?
Anyway, thanks everyone.
It's back, started last night, not full blown, but the on/off again freezing, slowness between the screens, sometime it will not move at all. Then all of a sudden its cool for 20 minutes or so, then again.

All three of my replacements have behaved in the same manner; therefore, I am sure now that these issues are software related. In my case, I've narrowed it down to Go Launcher, Smart Keyboard Pro, or Enhanced Email. Are you using any of those apps?

No, but I am using SBP 3D Shell?
I really liked SBP Shell too; however, it would often FC so I deleted it 2 replacements ago. Since I'm still having problems, I know SBP was not the source of all of them.
SPB shell is God awful and any issues your photon is having is directly related to spb shell 3D. Its too much of a resource hog and i still don't think its ready for prime time. Is rather use the stock launcher seriously. Go launcher is terrible as well. Try adwEX.

[Q] ICS 4.0.4 Cardock?

where?
i used to have a Smart Action that everytime my bluetooth connects, it'll fire up Cardock.
now i moved on to ICS, and there's no option to run Cardock in Smart Actions.
but in TiBackup, Cardock is there! yet i dont see it in App screen either.
where do one enable/run Cardock???
I have the same problem with 4.0.4
It launches with the actual Cardock just fine. There is apparently a trigger in the connection, I don't remember being able to launch the car dock app standalone back in GB tho.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
Currently worked this out when I decided I will no longer take my phone out of the otterbox defender case everytime I used cardock.
First off the carodck app is turned on when the usb plug, a resistor sends a signal to the phone, so i read, there is no magnet like the DX cardock.
For a dock I grabbed the $20 verizon dock from a store that has an excellent length on the arm. Though about making little extension of some sort and rig the moto dock usb on the universal or buy an otterbox holster dock from a site.
Anyhow, I use the Rotate Licensed app to force or auto force ratate screen which rotates the home screen button to landscape like the real dock does.
Then I used AnyCut, go to new shortcut, activities, then select Vehicle Mode, there may be 10 vehicle mode(s) available, try number 8, or keep trying till you get the right one that has the map, nav., music, voice search, calling, and other apps, anycut will create a shortcut somewhere on the home screen. The force nav. with home button does not work though, but with the Rotate app and this shortcut I can leave my phone in otterbox and use the uni.cardock.
Another thing I noticed it the blue on black text in maps mode is hard to read when the search is populating as you type, even with glare protector, use anycut to make shortcut to activities, Motorola Input Debug.
Thank you for this tip, it worked great!
Hiddenapps works very well too.

and what trigger would that be?
doesn't anyone uses Smart Actions to launch CarDock?
Can't I really launch this when my BlueTooth connects?
I recently updated to the 4.0.4 and found a few differences in the car dock mode that I'd like to 'fix'... if anyone can point me in the right direction.
First, every time I put it in the car dock (Verizon approved, actually for the phone) it launches the car dock mode, but it immediately comes up in VZ Navigation, trying to map me to locations with an app that I would have to pay for. Don't want it, and especially don't want it to auto launch every time I put the phone in the docking station.
Second, used to that whenever a text was received and it was in dock mode, it would read the text to me (after prompting me)... this feature is turned on, but is not working in this version.
Lastly, if I move out of the car dock mode while it's in the dock, how can I get it back? Used to you'd hit the home button and, while in car dock station, it would send it back to that mode. The only way I've been able to get it back to car dock mode is to unhook the USB connection/charging connection and rehook it, basically resetting it to car dock mode. (then having to go through the VZ Navigation stuff again!)
Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

Someone would need to write a new car control app that would launch the "Vehicle mode" instead of "car mode" the name changed, from what I can tell, from GB to ICS and that is what causing the old apps to no longer work...

Pull down menu, touch the car dock icon, and it good back for me.

Perhaps I'm missing something because I am not finding a car dock icon, which is part of the problem. If I found one, I'd be glad to use it.
(Update: Restarted the phone, and this morning, saw the vehicle mode option on the pull down menu to return me to that mode. Thank you!!!!)
Additionally, used to when the phone was in the car dock, it would stay "on" no matter what. Now I'm noticing that the screen turns off if it's not on the home screen of the car dock app, like if I'm on the phone, the phone's screen will go blank. If I'm on the home screen in the car dock mode, I have not noticed it going black, but on any other screen it times out.

[Q] How to connect Nyko Playpad to Evo View 4G

Hello guys,
Well the title says it all, i really need help connecting it, i cant seem to get it working, my tablet is running Android 3.2.1 and well when this is what happens:
I press the home botton on the controller and turn it on, the light under the 1 is flashing slow, also i make sure the little switch is on gamepad HID mode.
I then press the home botton on the controller again to set it on "pair" mode, the light under the 1 starts flashing fast.
I then press on "Find near by devises" and the controller shows up.
I click on it and the control and tablet pair, but then it wont connect like its suposed to, instead, the light under the 1 starts flashing slow again.
When i try to connect to it by pressing on NYKO PLAYPAD in the bluetooth device list, i get a little message saying, "Please press any key on your keyboard to reconect," i pressed every botton, moved all the Analogs in every way possible, and it just wont connect... Ive also tried pressing all the buttondps while the control being on pair mode with the light flashing fast.
Same thing happens on HTC Evo 4G but i dont get any messages, and the same goes for a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" and well not to mention my iPod 4, on it it wont even show up....
So please can anyone help me? Thanks in advanced...

Question screen black, unresponsive to touch, screen lock enabled, usb mode on charging....

I've been stalking this forum for a few years now, from back before all the pop ups, but for the first time i'm stumped. Here's the rundown: i broke my pixel 6. not terribly heartbroken, the phone is ****, everything it does "well" is only moderate on any other phone i've owned.... sorry, digression. Anyway, screen is completely black and unresponsive to touch. screen is locked with 6 digit pin. I know the pin. but i cant enter it because the unresponsive screen. Phone gives haptic feedback when a wireless mouse is plugged into a multi port adapter, which i bought intending to plug the phone into an hdmi port... but back to the pixel 6 being a ****ty phone, i have to install an app to do so, since the phone doesn't do it natively.....which i cant do, because it seems that while usb debugging may be on (adb detects the phone) i cant authorize the computer.... even though ive done it a hundred times, always clicking "always allow from device" sorry, digression again. i just want to get my **** off of this phone. guys at cell phone store are either incapable or incompetent, because they say they need touchscreen access. i have otg adapter, multiport adapter, wireless keyboard/mouse....can anyone help me?

sure would, hell, it does. except that im still signed in on the old phone. and since that is the case, google keeps asking me to verify my identity via broken phone. and trying to do account recovery results in an email explaining that im signed in on another device, and if i want to change my password, i can do so on that device

you see my dilemma?
You may be able to project your screen with a wired dock (see https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/2865484?hl=en). By following the directions and begging for or borrowing a USB-C dock from someone, you should be able to get your stuff off your device, especially as you can connect a mouse to the dock if touch doesn't work.
The other alternative that may work for you is to go into fastboot (long press power to shut off the device, then press and hold volume down while pressing and holding power) and use ADB to backup your device, including the storage. See https://www.technipages.com/how-to-backup-your-entire-android-device for details, and pay attention to the -shared flag.
