Questions about USB OTG,and some other issues i have. - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hello,first of all i am a new and happy so far Xperia Neo V user,i came from ideos x5 and i am happy to see updates and support which my old phone hadnt.
1. Regarding the usb on the go question,i bought a otg cable from ebay,there is a chance that the motherboard will get <<burned>> if the keyboard/gamepad/mouse get directly powered from usb?also what about if it they will get powered from batterys and get conected throu a usb dongle (wireless),will it be safer for the phone?
2. On the First boot of the phone at the welcome and configuration screen i had a phone freeze when i conected throu wifi,rebooting the phone solved the issue,then i upgraded to 4.0.2.A.0.62 and i didnt experianced same problem for 2 days until 2 houers ago,i removed the battery and rebooted the phone and the issue got solved.
3. At settings>call setings>call forward settings>i get the error <<Network or SIM card error>> ,i tryed a different sim and it was working fine,the weird think is that my SIM card is around 1 year old and that i didnt had this problem at my previus phone.
4. While i was in gallery,i deleted 1 picture and phone rebooted,i guess its a sd card problem,but my sd is a genuine class 6 16gb card.
I hope i can get some help/answers regarding my issues,the sooner the better couse if my problems arent normal i can use DOA service and get a replacement.
Thank you in advance and forgive my poor English.

Hello, Welcome to Neo Forums and Congrats for your neo phone
1. if you use Live dock from Sony, that will make your life easier and it will not effect your motherboard, and yes if you use wireless accessories, it will be more convenient for you and a little for phone too.
2. try "Factory date Reset" from Privacy (Settings)
3. no idea (working fine for me)
4. well try Format your SDCard from within the phone (back up your date before Formatting your SDCard)
I hope, those tips will be helpful for you

You should be fine with USB OTG as long as your material doesn't require too much voltage...
Also you can use bluetooth keyboard/mouse.

Cant mount SD to computer anymore, USB not recognized

Ok, Ill take this from the beginning uptil now.
From start I rooted my phone, everything worked sweet and I had no problems with any functions of the phone.
Then I added some music to the SD by connecting the phone to USB and copied it over that way. I even used the builtin tetherfunction of the phone to see if it worked when we were about to go on holiday to an island here in Sweden.
When we arrived there (the day after I tested the tether positive) my computer just said "USB device not recognized" and the phone wouldnt even prompt me to mount the SD card, it just puts a notification about HTC Sync (which it cant find even though its installed and was working the day before).
I just thought that something went wrong with the computer and its drivers and accepted the fact that I coulnt tether the internet to my laptop.
Now, a week later when I was about to flash the HTC rom (updated one) I still couldnt get the phone to accept the USB connection, I tried on my workstation with same results as with laptop (USB device not recognized), on my wife's Vista machine nothing happens at all, my parents in law's XP computer says same as on my laptop and workstation, my MAC says nothing at all and my work Vista computer doesnt say anything at all either.
The only way to get it to recognize the phone is if I power it on with power+back (bootloader?), it shows up as a ADB device and I could flash the HTC rom from modaco's generic files.
Even after the new romflash and a total wipe it still doesnt work. Should I contact HTC, or do you think that this is some kind of software issue? Since its working in bootloader (Fastboot USB) the USB part of the phone seems ok, doesnt it?
What would you suggest?
i had the smae error, and the solution for me, it sound crazy, but try to use the original usb cable, or at least a thin one, there are two types.
Ive been trying 4 different USB cables (including the original white one) and all with the same problem. I will try to call HTC Sweden today and see what they think, this is soo annoying. Must say that its been quite a hazzle to use the hero (lagginess until last update drove me mad to start with, and now this...). Im not an apple fanboy of any kind, but I must say my iPhone worked perfectly with no problems from day one and still does (my girlfriend got it now). Its more solid built than the hero. I really hope HTC can solve my issue and make this work since I dont want to send the unit back to be stuck without a phone for a couple of weeks. I will get back here when I got an answer from HTC.
hello latiszm,
I'm having the exact issue as you describe... did you solve the problem? I tried changing the SDCard and also tried different USB cables but with no result... all of a sudden, I cannot mount the card... (it's mounted when the hero boots) but if i take it out and in again, the phone doesn't mount it nor ask me to...
thanks in advance!
hello latiszm,
I had the same problem!!! :-(, i put on the offical update and sent it back to tmobile so they can fix but i think i'll get a new one instead but i gotta wait 3 weeks :-(
I had the exact same problem, although I couldn't even connect with ADB, only fastboot.
See my following post about the problem:

P500 new and strange microsd issue

I'll tell you a strange issue (additional to the already mentioned on other posts) of the micro SD, I found and tested it today, and i have not resolved it yet.
ISSUE:
without notice, the phone is switched on etc, shows the notification "SD Removed, Please enter a new one", I thought it was strange since I had changed the micro with another, a san disk 16gb HC, nothing of strange.
i restart the phone, but the notification does not go away. i begin to be worried, 'cause it usually disappears.
I remove the backpanel, the secure of microsd and take it off.
So far nothing abnormal belief, and reinsert it.
The phone still does not see the new microsd.
i was in street so didn't proceed with further testing and i messd up for a while. arrived home i tried with 3 other microsd, the default supplied by LG, with still the old data within, and no one of them were detected
NEW two maxell 2gb microSD, HC always, are not detected.
I thought it was a pin problem, but keeping the vertical microsd clearly known that the pins are aligned correctly
(1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1).
restarting the phone with and without early MicroSim they are not recognized.
The PC and other phones are working properly.
I also made a restore procedure from privacy-settings, but still no sign of life.
any suggestion?

mine problem as i told is not an unmount problem but the absolute not detection mode, i tried the cards on another phone, all of them works.
by the way today i pick up the battery, and i looked for the little white warranty sticker, and it is a f****' pale pink!
the phone had no contact with water or everything like that, so it's impossible that i burned my warranty in this f****' way!
by the way i think is an hware problem, and i think is caused from some components on the little board on the upper side of the phone where are the antenna, speakers, vibrator engine, and the sd slot.
I had similar problem, my LG came up with error message that the micro sd card was damaged, i tried 3 different card and always had the same message.
I took my 16Gb sandisk card out of the phone and to a card reader.
The card worked perfectly on my PC so i started to take a backup of the card and then run some problem diagnostic tool and thank god, it finished and promped that some errors where fixed.
Since than it has worked perfectly in my optimus one...

let me understand better, u ran the diagnostic tools on for the SD card or for the lg optimus one?, and if the second, can u post, send pm, with the link of them? Many many anyways for the answer =)
I simply ran the diagnostic tools on the sd card conected to my pc via usb card reader in win7. I was about to give up on this when i decided to try this, tough i didn't think it would actually work. but it did.....
someone at LG should look into this, my friend experienced exacly the same problem with optimus GT540. it was after installing some custom rom in his case, but i still have the original firmware, i haven't done any hacks but rooting, wich i don't belive could cause this problem...
oh, and i hope i am making my self clear, my english is not perfect since it's not my first language..
I do confirm.
This happened on my new phone.
Without any reason.

[Q] Can't charge or acess sd card

Some days ago, my o1 fell down but it doesn't semmed to have broke anything. The phone was acting perfectly normal.
Yesterday, i tried to charge it via AC and USB but none of those had any effect. I tried diferrect cables, different computers and wall sockets. None worked. Also, no computer detected the phone.
I tried different roms (G-T-R and PerfectPeso). Adb didn't recognized it neither did the kdz updater (was trying to get back to stock rom).
However, i discovered that the battery can be charged if the phone is in emergency mode, and this is why i haven't lose my hope yet (if it can be charged this way it means it might not be a hardware problem, right?)
Help, guys, don't know what else i can try.
Sorry about my English.
Thank you.

best solution: lg service center
Sent from my LG-P500
Well, i went to the nearest authorized technical support and after some time waiting i was told that it may be a software problem and that it would cost me a value that ive calculated to be greater than 25% of the money i've originally paid to buy the phone. Also, for "some reason" the technician couldn't run his repair software.
Tried flashing a rom with a different version of android (CM9), it didn't work. Discovered that i can't restore, in a nadroid backup, the cache partition or the sd-ext partiton (i'm not sure of wich one), or i'll have bootloops.
Really, should i give up?
WHATEVER HAPPENS INSIDE YOU PHONE DOESNT MATTER AT ALL MAIN POINT IS THAT IT SHOULDNT BE VISIBLE
IF THIS IS YOUR CASE GO ,GO TO LG PEOPLE AND SAY please repair it
This is the best method adopted by any dev to overcome any majour problem in our beloved optimus one
njoy
EDIT :
I think you shouldnt get it repaired if its costing more than 25% as its technology is now very old and its not worth that much
Save some money and buy a new android phone
Well, i'm kinda out of options now, since i was stolen today and my O1 was taken from me =\
Btw, tha Plan B app really works???

[Q] No touch for NT

Broke my NT screen & replaced but now touchscreen capability doesn't work. I have been trying to return to stock & go from there but am unable to get that done w/o touch.
I am assuming I didn't get a defective screen but cannot be sure.
Anybody have any suggestions for me?
Thank you!
MIGHT<--------- work
sd1 boot--->clock works mod recovery---------------
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446987&highlight=cwm
boot into it(remove) and then insert
sd2 which, contains stock zip,or any other rom
flash that sucker
and hope it works
METHOD 2 (might be easier, but results in root and other apps)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488035&highlight=cwm
(methods above uses no screen, only side buttons and the n)
please reply because i am interested to see if this works
I can't boot to an sd card. Tried Method 2 & was not able to boot to the card. Flashed the image to the card, put it in the Nook, powered down 8xs & get the blue menu but then can't get the zip image to work.
Sorry, I am a noob in may respects & I'm really foundering here. In method 1 I don't even know how to make a new MSDOS partition table and add a 50 MB FAT32 partition as the first primary partition.
I fear I am up the proverbial creek!
interesting...
method one 50 mb http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
why can you not boot from SD
and
by blue menu do you mean the clock works mod
and what do you mean by 'can't get the zip image to work.' what is happeneing
concern:
well you said that it was a hardware screen damage
so TECHNICALLY the software should work as created since that was 'untouched'
thinking...
Sorry I haven’t gotten back to you; I’ve had company & no time to address this again.
I will try & explain the steps I have taken, although, as I have explained my tech speak is limited at best.
I am using a 2gb sd card (believe it or not I snapped my 32gb card in half while replacing the screen)
I just now tried to use method 1. I thought I followed the instructions exactly found at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/SD_card_partitioning
but now my computer doesn't detect the sd card at all, nothing when I plug & unplug the card.
Previously when I said 'get the blue menu' yes, I mean clock works mod.
I think somehow during the use of Partition Wizard 7 the card reader on my comp was fried. I bought a brand new 16gb card; when inserted in the adapter, then into the onboard reader, PW7 shows both cards as 'bad disk'
woah woah woah...well first i was 'gone' for a couple of days due to freshman finals. (dont be like...well this young foo aint going to help...cuz i try to)
second--> the chip could not have gotten fried...check if it works with the native software (windows explorer) and with other SD cards
and how is it one snaps the 32gb sd. like you forgot it inside the device...or while taking it out it 'broke'
back to my third post---> and what do you mean by 'can't get the zip image to work.' what is happening
like is it an md5 sum error or...
obviously this is a very technically problematic because by now...other devs would be helping...
Finally figured out sd card reader on my comp quit working - card's okay in different comp. Snapped the 32gb card when removing the back of the NT. (My bad-forgot it was in the tablet & removing back with card in snaps the card in 2)
Finally got the NT returned to stock (Kudos to Ray Waldo.com)
Now I have working stock NT but still no touch capabilities. My best guess is that the touch digitizer of the screen is bad & since warranty was for 30 days seller won't exchange. (It has been 40 days) Seller is not appreciative of the fact that I have been trying to get this thing working & I too was on vacation.
So unless someone has another idea of what might be wrong, I'm up a creep.
I really appreciate your efforts & the help I have received.
From my reading the touch part is not sold with the LCD display. I assume you purchase the digitizing touch part too.
"7" Nook TABLET IPS LCD Screen Display Repair Replacement. This item is the exactly inner IPS LCD screen dispaly (without Touch screen digitizer glass) for Nook TABLET , easy to change, plug into the board, ....."
Most manufactures have internal diagnostics, can you somehow run these? Who ever your vendor was they should be able to get you the manufactures information. If nothing else you may be able to send it to them for testing.
I did take two laptops apart to combine them into one working one, lots of thin flat cables that went directly into connectors. I did observe that some held well, some did not insert fully and some did not stay in very well. Could you problem be a loose cable?

What phone do I have ? (repost)

Hi there I am new here..
I bought a 'strange phone' at low cost, the model tag is 'HTC M9et', but the setting shown it is HTC Me, and it looks and works exactly like the Me, but it got dual SIM for the Chinese market sold by China Mobile, so I guess most of the h/w are the same as the Me except the radio. I got 2 problem with it, first it misses the update option on the settings so I couldn't do OTA update, it is still running on Lollipop. Secondly the USB mass storage doesn't work, when I connect it to the PC via USB nothing happened except the charging light, actually it does show briefly a lightning icon inside a square box, but nothing happened on the PC side, I tried both Linux and windows both the same., but I can connect card reader via it's USB, so the port is working normally. Because of the above problem I couldn't do USB tethering with it, I used my phones for internet via USB and Bluetooth for long time without problem regardless the computer OS in use. I suspect it is a locked phone the carrier removed some features, but strange is that I can use any SIM with it without problem. What I am trying to do is to get a custom ROM for it hopefully I can get back the full features, but first I must know the correct ROM to use, I don't want to spoil the phone although it is cheap, and I've little experience flashing my Motorola Droid Razar with CM ROM, please help me out many thanks !!!
To give a bit more info I just find out, the model type is
htc_hima_ace_ml_dtul
mmmh.... I found this post, after trying to solve very much the same problem. However it seems that this has not been resolved, so apologies for hijacking your thread. Hope someone has some answers or can point us in the right direction.
