Turn off screen when using micro hdmi cable - Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers

Hi, I am currently using a micro hdmi cable, it works great, but I would like the screen on the tablet to shut off while I am casting onto the larger monitor. Is this possible? There is an app in the PlayStore that can do this but it requires root, which I dont want to do. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Hm, I am not sure but I dont think so.
Do you have the name of the app please?

Hi,

Does this App really works? The last update is over 3,5 yeas old and the homepage doesnt exist anymore.

Hi, I mentioned this app more of a reference and an explanation of what I want to accomplish. If I was rooted I would have given it a try as the Yoga Book is still on 6.0, and will be for some time if I am to believe posts regarding Lenovo Android updates.

I yearn for the same thing. Unfortunately, I don't think it's possible without root. Hopefully it'll be added in a future update. HDMI out without a way to turn the primary display off is useful in very few situations. One of those odd oversights by Lenovo.

How do you find the battery life with this wallpaper? I think a few on the xoom forum reported a lot of battery drainage.
not sure what I am doing wrong but I have downloaded the apk but when I try open it I get "cannot open file"
Edit: trying to open the .apk in Downloads was causing the issue. Opening. Apk through EsFileExplorer worked perfect.
Latest Version of Google Voice
There are a bunch of GV apps floating around. This is the current version.
Works great! Also if you want to use your Tab as a phone GrooVe IP is on sale at Amazon for $1.99 (vs. $3.99).
Have fun,

Shadow Galaxy live wallpaper is sweet.

I haven't had any dramatic battery issues using the MyWater wallpaper. I certainly still get more than a day's worth of use without recharging. I'm accustomed to charging my devices at least once per day, so it hasn't been a problem. I suppose if you were used to getting 2-3 days per charge, any live wallpaper would appear problematic.

I got the same apk file but it wouldn't work on my galaxy tab 10.1...
It's actually a little frustrating to hear that ppl have it working fine while mine only shows black box instead of the ice floating around XP
Does anyone know about this issue?
Please help! I just WANT this wallpaper so much!!! Thanks!

Netflix now streaming on my atrix, not perfect color though...

I installed the updated Netflix app released today and now I'm able to stream movies, the color is off a little though.
Here is the link to apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14182239&postcount=1466
i see what you mean..i have this green bar going across the screen in the bottom. colors aren't that great..but eh. i can deal with this for now.
watching Mortal Kombat..
Tried austin powers, plays very smoothly but with strange colors
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
it's the video decoding due to our phones, probably because of the tegra. this has been known since the netflix app was first released (FYI it's been working on our phones since then, the APK was posted in the apps forum)
Still a pretty awesome step in the right direction.
Doesn't android have a graphics layer that's standard across releases that developers can code to instead of hardware specific? Greenbar is pretty annoying.

It does, although this is a video decoder issue.

Swype doesn't work due to screen size not supported after 3.2

After the 3.2 update, Swype has stopped working. It no longer will install and you will get a ERROR when you try to use the installer. From the Swype beta bug forums, they are aware of this issue but they don't just want to support the screen resolution. Do you guys experience this as well?
Not going to answer your question directly, but FYI... the Flex T9 keyboard https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nuance.flext9.input&feature=search_result is working well on 3.2.
This is the swype alternative that also includes speech to text.It is a bit pricy, but has been very solid.
Interestingly enough though, even though it is installed, it is not showing in the market or under my apps.
Im using swype as I type this. Works fine for me.
umm.... how?! Are you on 3.2?
Correct, swype does not function correctly on 3.2, however they know that this issue exists and are working on a fix.
Actually that is wrong swype may pop an error up from time to time but hit ok and it works fine.

Swype won't even install on my hammerhead 3.2 rom. It keeps saying Connection error - check your Wifi connection. I'm fully connected though, so it's really weird. Has anyone else been getting this error by any chance?

Just so everyone knows, the new Swype 3.25 works with my stock 3.2 Xoom.

This is because tiamat uses a modified framework. You need to find a stock one and flash it.

Very cool. Does it actually have WiFi and GPS as well? And I think the site mentions a 5MP camera (as opposed the GG's 1.3MP). Can you verify this as well?
Starting to sound like the watch the GG should have been.

i changes time format from 24 to 12 it made watch boot loop any ideas??
this is the Mimi W2, right?
http://www.mimi-hk.com/product.php?id_product=23&id_lang=1
seems to me this is more of a U8 clone, it has the same mic/speaker implementation (phone audio is always on the speaker of the watch, you have to switch manually)
also, the Smartwatch2A.apk that can be downloaded for notifications looks/works exactly like BTNotifier that comes with the U8
and one of the U8 firmware updates changed the icons from black/white to color...

Any update on this smartwatch? ROM? Anybody else using it? Can you read email text, not just notification from your phone on this watch?
The reason I'm asking because I found a similar smartwatch for $70 shipped free from GearBest now: http://www.gearbest.com/smart-watches/pp_70658.html - very tempted!!! MIMI W2S doesn't have camera, uses your phones camera for remote, but everything else is similar and very Gear-like

I have to assume that you aren't asking your question properly.. You show a screenshot of the battery page usage in settings app and ask what it is? Do you mean the -5 app? I'm not positive but did you perhaps delete 5 apps?

Yea sorry I was half asleep when I made the post, but yes the -5 app it's never showed up before i thought it was odd and no haven't uninstalled any apps recently. I'm assuming it's a bug since it's the first update for A10.

No worries brother. I will say that is kinda strange? I would suggest keeping a close eye on it just to make sure it's not some malware. I tried a few Google searches for you because I was interested, however I didn't find anything pertinent. Anyway good luck and if you ever figure out what it is please share here.

Even i too have this in global version and it only appears after using hotspot for some time. If I don't use device as hotspot it doesn't appear so i can say it is related to hotspot.

Yes because I don't use photos so common is hotspot only and one user from oneplus forum community also confirmed that. Nevertheless i did contact the developers and they asked for all logs and all and said will get back if they find anything.
