Hi, a friend of mine has a hdmi projector which runs some kind of android skin, it comes under the name of u-console. Its running android 4.
He's connected it up via HDMI and the android home screen is shown full screen on the projector screen, then you can choose which HDMI port to show. When he does this it runs a program called source which Is preinstalled, this briefly shows the video full screen then crashes and instantly closes itself down back to the android home screen.
At this point the sound is coming through the projector and the video can now be seen in the bottom status bar but the android wallpaper is on top everywhere else relaunching source does the same thing again. I can't help think that the source programme has some kind of error causing this but can't find anything about it to see if there are any updates or here is another way around it.
Has anyone come across this?? Or know anything about these systems?
Thanks
Kevin

Hi all,
Not sure what I might have done to mess this up but for some reason my HD dock can't detect the proper resolution for my monitor (I have the monitor connected via a DVI to HDMI adapter). It used to work but for some reason has stopped functioning. Now the usual Motorola screen saver (red circle popping around) is distorted and only shows up on 3/4 of the screen. If I try to activate webtop, it goes through the usual loading but the monitor goes black and webtop appears to have loaded (Usual webtop splash screen on the phone appears) but I can't see anything on the screen.
The odd thing is if I take the dock and plug it directly into my TV (no adapter) everything runs fine. So it leads me to think its an issue about the auto detect...
Is there any way to reset this or manually change the resolution to fix this?
I have a galaxy s2 running ICS (but the issue occurred) and I have a very odd issue with the keyboard that I am hoping someone could help me with. I have searched around but did not find anything already posted.
A short while ago, my screen broke and I had it replaced, good as new. Well almost. When ever I use the messaging app, or another type of app like that (Whats App for example), when you are composing a new message, and the textbox is shrunk down to one line at the bottom of the screen, there appears to be no input detected on that part of the screen, the send button (on the right hand side) works, and the other controls all work fine, just not the textbox.
So I figured that when the screen broke, it messed up that part of the screen, but other apps that have controls in that region (such as the camera app that has the photo button, or the lock screen with the emergency call button) all work 100%.
Its just textboxes at the bottom of the screen that do not seem to accept touch events. VERY odd.
Has anyone seen this before or know of a few tests/checks I can do. I am a new-ish user to Android.

This really sounds anoying but i know several issues quiet close to yours.
For instance sometimes on my sgs+ one side of the screen....in many cases the top side does not recognize any touching by me...
after loocking and afterwards aunlocking the phone everythings allright again...
i would suggest you to try to install a thirdparty keyboard from the play store.
if this doenstn work.....well maybee try another rom but i would send it to samsung to get a new phone...cus errors caused by wrong placed hardware are always comming back
fare well my friend
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me solve my problem. The issue is that when I plug my M HL cable into my HDTV the image comes out sideways, flickers, and looks terrible with lots of snow. The interesting thing is that this didn't happen to me on a stock rom. But now I'm running CM 10 dgungdum style and the problem has occurred. A couple of details: it doesn't say HDMI at the top when I plug it in ( Though it used to When it worked before) Also it seems to be something to do with CM 10 itself because if I reboot the phone with the MHL cable plugged in it starts with the normal display and the CM logo is not sideways but once the operating system starts the lock screen appears and immediately flips sideways on my phone and also on my TV. So I think the ROM has some kind of setting that auto flips the display when the MHL is plugged in but the problem is that I can't find an option to reverse this default. Any help is greatly appreciated.

HDMI is out on cm10 ROMs. That's why you are getting those weird screen displays.
The clichés of asking for help in a forum as your first post. Oh joy. Either way, this isn't a huge problem for me, but if anyone knows how to fix it, I would be ecstatic.
When in in youtube full screen, it is exactly that, full screen, but, seemingly randomly, I get my notification bar that appears on screen along with the home buttons, and until I force close the app, they won't go away and take up screen space during a video. Any fix for this or am I missing something as to why it's happening?
Attached pictures show immersive and what happens after.
Phone is stock LG g2.
Hey Everyone,
I updated to Pie on my V30 (H932) after the flashable zip was released, and noticed this eco playback when I connect my phone to a USB C display. Oreo didn't have this, and I'm having a hard time finding whether this can be disabled or not. I would LOVE to disable it since it dims my display, and puts up a message about swiping to bring the phone out of eco playback mode. There is an option to tap a floating icon and choose to keep the screen on, but it seems to randomly revert back to dimming the screen when idle (watching a video on the external display). As of me posting this, the icon is actually stuck on (icon is still on my screen after disconnecting the display), and I'm sure it will go away after rebooting my phone, but I'm not wanting to reboot right at this time. Does anyone know if this can be disabled? Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Oh, and just another note, the big reason I'm hoping that this can be disabled is that when I'm using the USB C display, I also have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard connected and in closer reach than my phone is, and when the eco playback message is on the screen, you're not able to click anything until you swipe or click and drag to the side to clear the message.
