Framebuffer glitch (android on raspberry pi) - Miscellaneous Android Development

Can anyone help a group of us out,
Were porting android to the Raspberry PI

This can be seen about half way through this video

TV out to monitor

Is there a way to use tv-out to connect to a pc monitor with a special micro-usb cable? If so, what are you experience using it this way?
There are some threads about this that can be found by doing a search.
probably would of been quickier to type "yes" or "no"
I did a search and did not find anything for captivate
Bump for this.. Would definitely like to try that out!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
Simple answer is no,
Captivate supports composite only.
Miami was right there are threads on here for the captivate on this subject.

Try searching in the Accessories subforum.
Sucks because Samsung was planning on making a MicroUSB to HDMI but scrapped the idea.
That would have been really cool!

RCA cables *shudder* didn't think I would ever have to use those damn things again. Wish they would have came out with the mini usb > hdmi cable oh well.
now the thing is... is there something like a composite to rgb adapter? for most modern tv/monitors it wont be an issue because of multiple input alternatives, but if the only input is rgb (vga), what can be done?

I know there are USB-HDMI cables, but what kind of pinout connections for the TP translate?
The TP plug LOOKS like the one on my Samsung Mythic phone cable, but I sure as hell wouldn't plug it in!
Pros to why it might work
The chipset is capable
It doesn't appear that HP messed with the reference design
Cons to why it might not work
Chipset may be capable but no idea if the drivers to do it are in WebOS
It could have been removed
I can't find if anyone has tried an MHL adapter on the Touchpad yet
I've yet to hear of anyone outputting any video with the touchpad to an external screen.
I tried an MHL adaptor on the touchpad and it doesn't work.
Would be good if there's any other way to link it to a TV/Monitor.

So now the question is, is it because the hardware was modified or is it lacking in the software?
Another thought I had was looking to Bluetooth VDP support. Since WebOS uses the bluez stack and there was some work previously on VDP for bluez it shouldn't be too hard to the profile working. There is also the SPP video approach however both of these would need one to have a Bluetooth receiver to display the video.

Regardless of whether or not the hardware supports it, the software definitely does not.

I wouldn't get my hopes up given the state of WebOS. Android is looking like the best solution right now especially with ICS just around the corner.
gentleman, it WILL NOT work on 3.0.2 or 3.0.3, but is the #1 feature for 3.0.4, so either wait for that, or hope that CM team gets it working, but it prolly wont work in CM7 1.0 as its not the most important thing to have working at launch

Actually, I understood HDMI-out was confirmed to be part of 3.0.4.
Really, HP has nothing to gain by holding out on us, so I can't imagine they would.

CM, but Dalingrin more specifically. He says it is supported by the SoC, pinouts are the big question.
Google it or search here at xda. The phrase "webos 3.0.4 hdmi" worked for me.

he meant source for "gentleman, it ... is the #1 feature for 3.0.4"... is it actually official or just people on the forum mentioning it? i only seen mostly user statements that hdmi out will be on 3.0.4.. nothing offficial
edit: is webos 3.0.3 out? i am on 3.0.2 and went to system updates but it says i am on latest version

source is from HP devs, im looking for the link in my history (EDIT: dammit, link is pulled, HP is cracking down on these leaks hard. looking for cached page)
as for 3.0.3, it WAS available, but HP sent a C&D to xda and nbournes (something like that, my bad ) so its gone, and HP also deactivated the dev reg server, so you have to impostah bypass to use 3.0.3, you get the camera app, faster browser but no access to app catalog or HP resources

I very much doubt they will add ANY new features,and any in the works will probably be removed or disabled in the final release. I think HP is releasing one last software update to deal with the fact that the software that shipped is junk. Its slow and buggy and I think HP feels that they need to fix the outstanding issues. I seriously doubt they feel they need to put any energy into adding new features. WebOS IS dead. Hp is not making devices running it anymore and no one is going to want it. They may be able to sell it for a few bucks to someone who wants the palm patent portfolio though. At the right price google might want those patents. The idea that HP will keep flushing money down the webOS hole though is absurd.

That is still great news.
well some bad news is that i cant find the post ANYWHERE :/ so take it as a grain of salt if you want, but either way, we're getting hdmi out eventually

there is HP app catalog access....
you just have to follow all the directions.
and since there is No Proof that HDMI is the #1 feature of 3.0.4, I'm calling BS until there is proof.

[Q] Screen recording

Hello, guys!
Here's the deal: I got this Xoom (MZ604), with android 3.1, unrooted.
I'm in a Mac computer
and I want to, somehow, capture the screen actions, in video format.
What do you guys recommend me?
record via the mac, some app that records (I know one, but it doesn't work with tegra devices - like the Xoom, right?)? do I have to root it? Better to upgrade to some ICS first and do something?
Anyways, any kind of help will be very welcome.
Looking forward to your answers!
Thank you very much!

No support for tegra yet. But please let us know if something pops up. Actually, there may be a way using hdmi-out to a capture card. Hmmm.
So stuff like this doesn't work?

No one has the jabmox and can reply if they have the same issue? I read on MS Support site that other users had the same issue with Windows 8 Dev preview. Can someone please chime in? Is this with the Big Jambox only? Or does it happen with other bluetooth speakers as well?
Really looking for a fix.

Thats concerining that MS still didnt address this issue in Windows 8 more or less the Surface RT Tablet version!. I mean really how many users are going to run into this, most use bluetooth spearks to stream music etc.. from tablets and phones.
I'm hoping they release an update to fix this soon.

Try pairing with an iphone or android, help determine what device is at fault. A mini review of the sound would be nice, in case these become a firesale item because of incompatibility issues.
I am having the same problem. Paired no problem with my regular Jambox but disconnects immediately with my Big Jambox.
I am going to update the Big Jambox firmware to see if that helps.
I can't believe that this is an issue in this day and age.
Frustrating.
For what its worth, I sent a support request to Jawbone with a link to this thread explaining the issue. Probably won't achieve much, but worth a try I guess. At least it may make them aware of the problem.

No problems with my Android Transformer Prime or my Windows Phone.
You won't see these fire sales any time soon.

Haven't tried it out yet but it should work.
When I checked the "Properties" for my regular Jamnox versus the Big Jambox it definitely isn't being seen as a audio device.

Can't watch videos files while downloading.

Hi
I just got my OnePlus 7 Pro and I've tried downloading some torrents.
On all my previous devices I could play the .MP4 file, for example, while it was still downloading, almost simulating a stream.
OnePlus 7 Pro on the other hand, simply doesn't work, can't play the file, as if it were corrupted.
Has anyone tried? Or explored this side?
Can someone help to fix this? Workaround or something ?
Please
Thank you.

It's dependant on the torrent client, you need to download in sequential order.

I tried with the app flud, for example, and I enabled sequential download and doesn't work still.
Plus on the other devices that isn't needed.

this one worked inside the app itself, although it wouldn't let me use another one, like an external player.

How can it not? I can literally use another OLDER, CHEAPER android phone and it works.
So I do believe it has something to do with the phone OR android version Q.
Either way doesn't work, and it's something I do need at a lot for work.
