I just ordered a droid 4 from ebay. I'm on Fido(Rogers) in Canada BC. I was wondering what are some good mods/hacks/roms/flashes/etc I should consider doing to this phone? -I want nice reliable performance out of it. Also how to unlock it? It's been a long time since I did this...

For a while now my shield seems like it's always draining power excessively, even while shut/sleep. When I put it on the charger(while on sleep) it often is very warm and the fan is on. When I take it off the charger the battery icon often shows it's still charging. Even when I restart the...

Not sure if this is the best section to ask this in... I need suggestions/advice picking out Hardware(tablet+accessories) and Software/Firmware. I need a tablet or large screen phone to act as my Motorcycle's Navigation and MP3 player. I don't know if there is a product already out...

I've seen the shield being used to control Parrot Drones, which seems an idle pairing of screen controller and quadcopter. I use other brands of helicopters, namely "blade" brand, and tho I don't own a blade brand quadcopter, I would prefer to have one over a parrot. My question: Is...

I have a motorcycle with a car stereo amplifier and I want to use a Windows 8 tablet (lenovo miix2 8) as my head unit/navigation. ◘My goal for this thread is to come up with a solution that uses the fewest amount of wires connected to the tablet. ◘I need to be able to charge the tablet and...

I have two primary uses for the tablet in question: 1. I will be using it as a GPS navigation unit on my motorcycle. And it will be used to play music thru my motorcycle's speakers. *I will most likely be using the headphone jack, or possibly some kind of usb audio out / charger (if I can find...

So when I noticed my Shield downloaded the 4.4 update, and went over the notes in it, I was like I better come to XDA and see if this is for me or not. CLEARLY being an emulation junkie I need to stick with my beloved 4.3. What I need to know is if there are any safeguards I can take to stop my...

I have n64, GBA, SNES, paid for emulators. One day I start up one of my emulators and it just crashes every time it trys to load a game. I try other games, same problem, I try other emulators, same problem. After using these rom files for months, I try reloading my roms, no effect. I tried...

Humblebundle "android pack" + Beathazard onsale, & is fantastic with button mapping! For those of us who didn't know, https://www.humblebundle.com/ sells android games. both in weakly bundles sales, and in their store. They have a great package of android games for really cheap right now in...

So I see "Sonic 4 Episode 1" in the Shield Store, I got a message on "appsales" saying it's on sale for $1.00, so I go to the play store and it says it's incompatible? That makes no sense right? Is there a way to bypass this? A way to buy it while it's on sale even tho there is some kind of...

I was wondering, is there a way to watch shows on my computer screen at the same time I'm streaming games to the shield? I run a single monitor (1080p projector), I was thinking could the "steam big epicure/stream" run in the back ground while I make use of the desktop (ie: watch movies) ; or...

I have searched up and down the internet and can't find an answer with the keywords I've been using. I want to play a game like risk of rain, it shows a half colored in controller icon in the steam big picture window, but cant seem to get it to interact with shield controls. I would also like...

I got my shield "new" off ebay but because it was from ebay and not a retailer they wont support me with warranty. I put in a micro sd card for like the 5th time ever into the shield, and it wont pop out any more, i got to fish it out with some needle tweesers. which isn't terrible, but I'd...

I can't find an answer to this online, if I buy any of the need for speed games for android(not streaming) can I use the shields controls/buttons to play it, or am I forced to use the touch screen?

I like to take my shield on car trips, so WiFi isn't something that's on the freeway around here. I buy a game at the play store (asphalt 8 and worms) and they won't boot up unless they have WiFi to do checks of authenticity... Sigh... Making me wish I just pirated the games in the first place...

I like to stream videos from my main computer to my laptop. So far I have never had a video file, no mater how high quality it couldnt play flawlessly, and my lap top isn't anything special at 4 years old and was around $600 new. I have been able to use "ES File explorer" and "MX player" (with...

So I'm thinking to myself, this faceplate should be more useful then just a cosmetic attachment. If you were to carefully cut out some small chamber into the back side of the faceplate you could probably make a way for storing Micro SDcards. Seems like a simple enough an idea I thought, not sure...

I have older standalone gps devices that work ok, but I would like to run a gps app on my android, and being that it only has WIFI I was wondering two things. 1. Does the Shield have a reliable enough antenna for GPS Navigation? 2. Which is the best "off line" GPS app to use for Canada/USA? (I...

So I just got FFXIV today(MMO) and I was thinking, this would be a great way to control an MMO like this! (Basically I'm stealing some of the concepts used when they made the wii-u screen controller.) FFXIV was designed with controllers in mind (like a xbox controller), but we can do better then...

So yeah, I was just playing a game and randomly a screw feel right out of it from above the top left trigger. I don't know how it was in there at all as it seem to have no threads for it to be tightened back in. What should I do?

I kinda doubt we'll see a suction cup style, window mount for the shield, least not any time soon. I would really make use of the shield as a car navigation unit. Any ideas for some parts to maybe make one of my own, or some sort of universal mount? ... Tho would the shield be too heavy for a...

I've ordered my shield, it should arrive on the 23rd. While I wait I thought I would get some suggestions for things I may want to do before it arrives; download software, buy any accessories, etc. My current PC wont be able to stream with out something like SplashTop. I'm building a new rig in...
