Anyone watching NFL tonight? I have NFL Mobile and now since I have ICS I can't use xternal display. So I found this solution. What do you all think?

I used to use Xternal Display until I got a RAZR Maxx that has ICS and the app doesn't work anymore. Xternal Display actually has their code posted online so I downloaded it and tried to see if there were any changes that would allow it to work with ICS. Turns out Motorola had an HDMI API that it discontinued for ICS. This API is what Xternal Display used and without it, there is not an easy way of making the app work on 4.0+.

After some work I did come up with a new solution so I can get NFL mobile mirrored to my TV! You must have the Android SDK tools installed and the Developer driver from Motorola installed for this to work. You can download the driver at https://developer.motorola.com/tools/usb_drivers/handset_usb_driver/

1. Connect HDMI cable to phone and connect USB to computer and phone
2. Open up command prompt and change directory to your SDK folder/platform-tools. For me, that is C:\Android-sdk\platform-tools
3. Send the following without the quotes: "adb shell am broadcast -a com.motorola.intent.action.externaldisplaystate --ei hdmi 0 --ei hdcp 1"
4. Open up NFL Mobile and enjoy it on a bigger screen!

NFL Mobile looks for broadcasts that indicate the state of the HDMI port and stops accessing the streaming content when it sees that HDMI has been plugged in. By sending a command over the ADB interface, we are effectively tricking NFL mobile into thinking that the HDMI cable has been removed! It's not quite as nice as Xternal Display was since it's not just an app on the phone anymore, but at least there is a way!

I think I read in here that you may need to drain your battery completely and then fully charge it to sort of reset the battery and get optimum life - did I dream that, or is that valid?

I'm in the southern NH area. I won't be more specific than that.

I am as well near Nashua

I've been all throughout the Northeast and Midwest on business - even been to Lowell, briefly, on a business trip. I'm in GA - spend my vacations on the Florida panhandle, where the sand is sugar white, and the water is warm enough to swim nearly year-round.

905 Battery Life, or lack there of

Hey guys,

I haven't read through the almost 500 pages of this thread, but I noticed several others complaining about the dismal battery life with the 905 load. I was one of the lucky Bionic owners who never experienced any problems with my Bionic, ever. Then the 905 load came along and my 4G connectivity went to sh*t as well as my battery life. I've been waiting and waiting for the official ICS OTA, and almost got sick enough of 905 to make the move to one of the ICS leaks. About 5 days ago, I uninstalled the Facebook app, and now my battery life is back to the way it was prior to 905, and I haven't had a single 4G data connection drop either. One of my best friends was having the same issues since the 905 OTA was installed on his Bionic. He uninstalled the Facebook app as well and his 4G connection and battery life are back to how they should be.

I can now wait patiently for the ICS OTA without wanting to toss my phone into a river.
