Video cam to cell phone hookup...

I was reading an article the other day, got interupted and forgot to bookmark it and now can't find it again, but it was saying something about how there is some kind of way (or a specific video camera) that a person can plug a "corded" video camera into a cell phone and record. Has anybody else heard of this? Or is there an app that lets you do this?
I would like to be able to use this feature on my job and be able to instantly upload while out in the field. Right now, I'm only allowed to instantly upload 10 seconds worth of video. I know of Qik, but thats just using the phones built-in camcorder which to me has limited uses as far as quality, zoom, etc.. I think being able to use an actual camcorder with it's features of being able to zoom, etc. would be a big benefit.
I also think this would be a good service to offer my clients.
Thanks for any advice and input!

[Q] Google Navigation Troubles Getting Directions

I'm having issues with Google Navigation and I'm wondering if someone can help.
Let's get this out of the way first. I'm running the CM7 Nightlies, but this isn't a GPS issue. I've done the GPS fix. GPS is working fine. I can see myself in Maps to a 20m accuracy even when I'm in my concrete bunker of an office building. Google Maps sees me just fine.
I can scan around in Maps and I'm getting the satellite layer updates. I know where I am and I can see where I'd like to go. I can click on the location and the Places update comes up. I can surf around in there, read reviews and do all that that app offers. So far, so good.
If I click on the Get Directions it will provide me with a list of directions. Awesome. I know where I am, I know where I'd like to be and now I know how to get there. Great!
If I click on the Navigation button Google Navigation comes up. It goes to "Getting Directions" and will just sit there... forever...
I've cleared the app data. I've even reinstalled Maps. It still will not work. Is anyone else having this issue?
Just another piece of information, if I install Waze and all of this works fine. I can even see other Waze users driving around town live. It's not a GPS tracking issue then either. Should I just switch to Waze?
Wow... I can't believe nobody else has this issue. Has anyone else tried this?
Because I really hate it when someone has an issue, fixes it themselves and never lets anyone know how, I bumped this thread to post what the problem was and how I fixed it. That way, if anyone does a search for this problem, they have both a reference and a resolution.
I believe the problem was my overzealousness in deleting apps that I didn't use or didn't believe I used. When flashing a new ROM, the first thing I always do is go through the /system/app folder and delete the crap I didn't want on my phone. One of the things I always deleted was the GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk. I never use the quick search widget because I always pull up the browser for Google searches.
I updated to CM7 Nightly Build 39 yesterday and, instead of pulling that APK I decided to test the GPS, Maps, Places and Navigation interaction. I was able to get an almost instant GPS lock. I could scan around Maps and get the layer updates. I could find the places I wanted in Places. Then, for the real test, I attempted to get driving directions to a local restaurant. It came up in a couple seconds.
So, the morals of the story are to not delete things when you aren't completely sure of everything they are tied to and don't give up solving problems on your own when nobody else is able to help you. I hope this helps someone.
no problems here. i think u deleted something.

[Q] Lag In Browser Zoom?

Hello, this is the first time I've started up a thread thingy or whatever you call it, so please go easy on me if I've butched this up or anything. I did a fair amount of searching before deciding to post this by the way.
The browser on my Telus variant seems to lose its pleasent smooth pinch zoom after using it for a while. At first I thought it was caused by switching the UA to Desktop, but tossed that idea after I experimented with the Mobile UA and recieved the same result. Then, I thought it could be because of the Kijiji website for the cause, and tossed that idea too after it happened on this very forum. Right now I'm almost convinced that it could be because the browser starts taking up lots of RAM, because everytime the issue starts, the amount of space it rakes in is over 140mb. This is probably wrong though... I don't have any technical knowledge on this really.
My question: Is there any fix for this issue? Or is anyone else experiencing this?
Thanks
i don't have lag 99% of the time
and the only time it lags is on those really bad pages with tons of ads and flash bombarments, or bad java scripted pages
kijiji loads fine no problem, however ebay some pages are a killer, but the same page also kills my browser on the PC, so at least that's consistent and you know it's a specific page or site issue an not the phone

Streaming issues troubleshooting

Hi guys
Need some help troubleshooting an issue.
LG G3 running Android 4.4.2 stock from LG/provider.
Since I got the phone 2 months ago I have been unable to stream media from my home media servers (PS3 media server/Plex). (yes other devices can stream from them)
Using the Android gallery they just show as empty. Using media house I can see everything but when I want to play something it just stays at the connecting screen.
Even if I kill the app my phone gets extremely hot and I experience extreme battery drain until I restart the phone.
Using my phones media server I am able to stream to other apps.
Questions:
1. I have done a lot of googling and only found one other person with this problem with no replies, has anyone experienced this before?
2. What sort of troubleshooting/logging can I enable/view on my device, or how can I diagnose this problem.
Thanks in advance and sorry if I left out any necessary info.
Regards,
I think this question suits better for the developer of said app. You can email the developer, email information is on the Gplay page.
I will try the app developer but I don't know how much they will need able to help as the problem is not limited to their app

Retrieve data from LG Quick Memo for a non LG device?

Hey all,
Let me start by saying that after searching a bit, I've come to the conclusion that there is no way to run the LG Quick memo app on non LG devices.
Here's the story:
The LCD-Digitizer on my G3 (D580) suddenly died. When the screen displayed, but was just unresponsive to touch, I was able to work around it by operating the phone via USB OTG cable and mouse. But suddenly, it stopped even displaying anything, which is frustrating because I took excellent care of it (no water damage/shock damage, always had it in a rugged case with screen protector). Anyway. I've switched over to a Huawei Honor 8, IMHO the most affordable flagship.
What I miss most from my G3 are the notes that I know I synced to an email address in the LG note app. Any ideas on how I can view those again without access to my G3? I can't afford to repair the screen because the part is so expensive!
Am I the only one with this issue? I'd appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks!
Even though I never got a response, I figured out my own workaround and I'm so relieved that I'll pay it forward.
The solution that worked for me:
If you had the foresight to sync your memos before you lost screen functionality, then getting them back is as simple as walking into a T-Mobile/AT&T/Verizon store and using an LG device on display (or borrowing a friend's). I didn't really think about it, my syncing was more like dumb luck than foresight to be honest, but ANYWAY
Sign into the Quick Memo Plus app on the LG device that you have access to and use your backup/retrieval method of choice. I can confirm that LG G3, G4, G5, and K10 have Quick Memo Plus but there may be other LG devices that will do the job. The only reason that this is an issue is because LG Quick Memo Plus is an app that will only work on some LG devices. It's not available in the Play Store and even if you have the apk, it will not install on non-LG devices. (Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong, it has something to do with odexes and the LG framework)
Once I was able to view my memos, I went through them one-by-one and copied the most irreplaceable ones to an email draft. Took a few minutes but it was worth it. Be sure to sign out of the display phone/your friend's phone before you leave and be sure that the notes are not viewable even after you sign out. I know that even after I signed out of Google, the memos were still viewable on the display phone, so I had to select them all and delete them from that phone.
I hope that this helps if anyone finds themselves in a similar situation.
Sent from my FRD-L04 using XDA Free mobile app
Instead of hand-copying memos to an email, you can export the entire note collection and email that. It exports to a .lqm file, which is only really openable with QuickMemo+, but it's also in plaintext, so you can open it with a text editor and see your notes. This is a good idea only if you have several dozens of notes you want to recover just need to store the text.
LG QuickMemo+ issue with using other devices
I've been scouring the internet for something that'll let me log into QuickMemo+ online or another app. I came across this & I'm glad I didn't have to spend countless hours looking for a solution! Thank you so much! ??
Why just dont use google keep... That problems is enougs reason not to use anything specific to LG. Like lg backup etc...
Can anyone here pls provide instructions for how to send my entire notes?
I have an LG G7 & I'd like to keep my QuickMemo+ notes for the future in either my gmail or a google type app in case my phone dies. I read the instructions provided by someone in this thread but I am not a techie so they were missing a few "steps for morons" lol that I need. Can anyone dumb it down and write it out more fully? Thank you so much!
Here are some basic instructions

So what you can simply do is extract the .lqm by 7zip or winrar or any app of the sorts you will get a couple of folders which are images, drawings, videos and audios. But what interests us is the memoinfo.jlqm which you can rename the file and changes the extension into a .txt so it'd become memoinfo.txt which can be opened with almost any text viewing app. Now there will be a lot of "garbage" but within the "garbage" the text that was in the memo will be there. And that's it if you want the text but I don't know whether or not the photos or audio files are saved normally or in a proprietary format. Hope this helped.
