Please help me navigate menus blindly - Moto Z Play Questions & Answers

Hi!
I am looking for someone with a moto z on stock, and a ruler. I have a moto z with a broken display (but functional touch panel). I need someone to go through, measure out where to click to enable usb debugging (also computer RSA key confirmation thing).
This would help me tremendously.

MHL out is not technically a supported feature. Only a few adapters work and all the ones I've tried so far have not. The ones people have reported working are no longer available, or they simple haven't stated which one they bought specifically

[Q] Does this phone have TV Out?

what the title ask. Can it do TV Out like the original DINC?
I was just thinking the same thing and was about to ask. I just upgraded from my Incredible to the Incredible 2 this past weekend. I never did buy the video out cable, although I always wanted to. I looked at Verizon's site and they still have the video out cable that you could get with the original Incredible, but it says it's not compatible with the Incredible 2.
I think they expect people to use DLNA more and more these days instead of the USB or HDMI video out.
Another question would be if anyone has tried the DLNA support since it is DLNA certified? You can verify that it is by going to the DLNA website.
is there a way to use the usb port to create a video out... an adapter or anything?
Please try and do a little research before posting questions as xda is starting to get bogged down with multiple threads on the same topics. But here check this out.

[Q] USB Host

Is there any chance to make USB Host for wildfire?
I guess not, as USB-Hosts have a different hardware than simple ports.
I heard somewhere that msm 7227 chip supports that feature. But wildfire has msm 7225 and haven't heard that it supports.
And hardware support along with required kernel is needed I think.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
AIR a guy made a circuit and gave the USB-Host to unsupported devices. I may remember wrong.
USB Host again
Hi all,
searching through the forum I found this thread and I very much like to raise the debate again. I am not fully convinced that USB-Host may not work at all on Wildfire.
On the hardware-side: can you completely say that the hardware might not support it at all? Many forum threads (not only on XDA) showed ambiguous signals concerning the chipsets.
On the software-side: The official point is the following:
[I wanted to post a link but was not allowed because I do not have 8posts yet. Type in google: "android developer usb host" and it will lead you to the official page]
So from Android 3.1 and higher USB-Host is supported.
As the development for the ICS (Android 4) mods (CG9 etc.) for wildfire is advancing, I am playing with the idea of trying the beta versions to see whether USB host works.
It would be really helpful to hear the ideas of advanced people on this issue. Can you exclude the hardware-capability? Are the e.g. CM9 mods not made for things like USB-Host?
Currently I unrooted my Wildfire and am trying to get things started for flashing it. So yes, quite a noob.
Thanks a lot and kind regards,
Nebi
Ok, I tried the newest version of CM9 'AOSP Based "Original Development" / Source Built ROMs' by arco68.
Unfortunately my wildfire is not reacting when I put in a usb-stick connected to an adapter USB-A (female) to USB-B (male) adapter.
Am I doing sth wrong? Do I need an USB-hub to power 5volt?
Thanks and kind regards,
Nebi
Ok sorry for writing again. My last post today - promise.
On the hardware-side I found out following:
As I still cannot post any links here:
qualcomm.com/chipsets/snapdragon
You can also click on that site on the link below with more detailed specs.
USB OTG is only supported from Snapdragon Generation 3 on. Wildfire (MSM7225) is Generation 1.
I was also egg-headed and still tried another software, too:
I tried the AOSP Based Derivative MIUI V4 Beta1 bystelios97.
He doesnt reckognize anything.
A last thing: I think that in any case the adapter that I am using is wrong. Instead of using a USB-A to USB-Micro adapter you better need a USB-OTG cable to connect both devices.
Game over I guess?

[Kernel][Both] USB host mode support added (github link)

Hi ya'll,
I've just added USB host mode support for the Galaxy Tabs. ( Can some mod move this post to the Android developer forum and bless me for posting in that forum? I'm happy to answer questions/discuss but I can't post there yet because I just created this account)
[Ugh! because I have less than eight posts I can't include github links - you'll need to linkify yourself... ]
The github site is here:
github.../humcycles/galaxy-tab-modified
Documentation on the changes:
github.../humcycles/galaxy-tab-modified/blob/master/Kernel/Documentation/usb/s3c-otg-host.txt
The changelist you probably want if you are want to cherry-pick into another kernel tree:
github.../humcycles/galaxy-tab-modified/commit/99388abf98f8b8583dcfb31339c8673a9fea62bd
These changes fix a number of bugs in the Samsung host mode software but are probably not well suited for regular end users. I would recommend that developers who are generating Galaxy Tab kernels consider picking up these changes.

Wait it so long
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
Does P1000 have the right hw, can it provide 5 volts to usb client or we also need a power injector (usb hub)?
It really works? That would be superb news! Thank you very much for investing your time in it. Can`t wait to see it in a kernel on my tab.

Yes. It works for me on a Sprint SPH-P100, but I bet it will work on all 7" tabs (the USB hw seems the same). I look forward to some other dev trying it out and letting me know how it works for them. From looking at the samsung sample code, I bet it will work on most samsung chipset based devices (certainly the S5PC100 based ones).

I bet it will also need power for the 5V USB. In the samsung code they have bits that look like it is turning on the right LDO to have power, but nothing comes out on my SPH-P100. Either the sw init needs more work, or they didn't stuff some part when they built up the units.

I've tested it on a few Sprint 7" SGT's here, but it would be great for another dev to try it in their kernel.
It is a great thing, you deserve so many thanks!...
Now what I need is a kernel with usb host and swap enabled.
Can somebody explain why it is needed? What is it good for?

It allows the Tab to act as the controller for USB devices, rather than the other way around. In practice, it means that you can use things like usb sticks, keyboards, mice and the like which usually require a computer (the host) with the Tab.
Anyone more knowledgeable, feel free to correct me.

Ask us anything : Official YU Response Thread

Hello Guys !
Nice to see the activity down here at XDA.
Let me quickly mention here that I, and @DooMLoRD have recently joined YU as Developer Relations and Community Managers.
(I don't know how many of you know either of us, but lot's of <3 to all those who have used either of ours works on custom ROMs and Kernels before on XDA)
We do have our own support forum at http://forums.yuplaygod.com, which you can feel free to visit and be a part of. We are running many contests from time to time on our forum as well .
I would ask any of the moderators, to please stick this thread if possible.
If you have any questions to us directly, please ask here. We will try to share as much with you, as soon as possible. (Of course some info cannot be shared, like if you ask us to tell about the next phone we are planning and don't bug us with update ETAs )
Regards, and a Happy New Year from the YU Team
Good to know you guys are working for YU.
I use Xperia Pro, so I have come across your work in several threads, I now expect lots of developments for this device(Hopefully my next).
I have a few questions
1. Will YU(no pun intended :laugh provide Wi-Fi Direct options in forthcoming updates?
2. Does this device come pre rooted/what about bootloader?
3. Any info about device availability? Will there be sufficient amount of devices for the upcoming flash sale?
I have a question, will YU be available outside India in the future? I'm from Europe,and i'm very interested in this device..
Queries
When will it get Lollipop ....
Give me a Detailed Specs including. sensor list
Will it support Quick charge 2.0
will it have double tap to wake
Does it ship with Recovery by itself
Can we use. Bootloader unlock oem straight away ..Or i have to request for code with Imei no.
Will it have other white soft touch back cover. sold in amazon
What are. The exact terms And conditions. applied******

1. WiFi direct is already present on the software that will launch will the phone. And it will remain present over future updates
2. The device will not come pre rooted, but if users do root it, we will provide the same terms of warranty to them.
We/Cyngn will provide a debuggable kernel from our side.
fastboot oem unlock command can unlock bootloader, you do not need a key from our website. Exactly like it is done on Nexus models.
3. There will be multiple flash sales. The units going up on sale on each iteration will be limited, but the numbers will ramp up over time.

Right now, for the first couple of sales as much as I am aware, Amazon.in can ship only to Indian cities.
As far as the company YU is considered, we definitely have global ambitions, and we are looking at how we can reach out the people outside the subcontinent.
Whether global shipping will be available on future sales of the same model, or we will start going global with future models is something that is still under works.

Please refer to the http://yuplaygod.com website, and the Hardware section of http://forums.yuplaygod.com for technical details.
Many of your queries are already present on them, and if not, you'll definitely get answers if asked on the forums.
Double Tap2Wake is present. It ships with Cyanogen Recovery (NOT CWM). (ref: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_bootable_recovery-cm )
"Playing God", Really? YU need to produce a Real Kick Ass Device before you presume to Play God.
The YUreka is not that device. It's cheap and that's it. Nothing Original. Cyanogen did not do anything different other that new Icons all else is the same as Oneplus. Come on Men even the YU Logo was Taken From SONY's PlayStation's. YU remind me of the Amazon Fire Phone. They too talked a lot and then did not sell enough.
Come up with something original and really innovative and stop presuming to play god.

If it doesn't. Have Magnetometer sensor then how will GPS ""Navigation"" work ??
if it does work how will it point directions ...Street view ...
I want to use offline Compass App
I want to record Directions while Taking Photo sphere !!!!
Can any 1 confirm it using All specs checking Apps like Cpu Z Or is the Magnetometer Sensor Driver missing in CM 11
Cool Pad F2 SD version shows that it has E compass in a shipping Company 's. Website
As you says warranty not void if we rooted our phone so my question is can we get*regular official OTA after the root?

AFAIK, If you are on official cm11s build then you will get further OTA updates even after root..
but you will probably loose root.

The YU Yureka is missing most of the sensor support that is present on the Coolpad F2 including e-compass (just check youtube reviews showing sensor support for both phones). So it won't be showing any directions what so ever...

This phone seemed stellar in most way until Asus announced its Zenfone 2.
So just out of curiosity, can you please address these queries below:
1. As of Zenfone 2, due to 64-bit architecture 4GB RAM was possible on device and hence the advantage. Yu also has a 64-bit architecture SoC, but what is the advantage?
2. How does Snapdragon 615 perform against Intel Atom Z3580 (on the Zenfone 2)?
3. Yureka is the first model from YU, are there any other model in the works (probably another re-brand)?
4. The phone goes sale on 13th Jan, means as soon as order is kept it can ship immediately?
Confirmation email?
Forums.yuplaygod.com
I have waited 2 days and tried 2 different ids, none of them got any confirmation email.
I have developed for lg optimus l 3, micromax canvas music and micromax unite 2. I would like to join the forum to support the development for yureka.

Enable Otg support

Hello everybody !!!
I've just buy the Nokia XL, and i'm happy on it for the price!
I've checked in the threads, but on these lot of page, i hadn't seen anything on it... Or i hadn't look right...
In my opinion, that will be good to have otg support...
So, that's my question.
Is it possible to implement USB OTG support in a kernel/ROM?
Or just tell me how to do, and i will try to do it...
I had just port few MTK's roms, and compile 1 or 2 MTK's kernels (not really ok, that's not the same thing than porting) but i can do it with the good informations...
Many Thanks​
PS: Sorry if i'm in the wrong section. There's a lot of time i hadn't post on XDA Forum (Since my LG-P920)
