OK, so, after trying a few different button combinations, it finally changed tunes and came back to reality. When I go into 'Apps', I only see the three usual tabs, Downloaded, Running and All. No Disabled tab. Also, after cache wipe, still no OTG.

So, did yours ever stop the cache wiping process (on its own), or did you have to force it somehow (or wait for battery to die)? I'm having this right now; it's been a couple hours.

OK, thanks. I will go in and check that in a little bit (or so I hope). As of now, I'm still waiting on it to get done doing the cache wipe (which I've done many times previously in the year and a half that I've had this phone) that I told it to start over an hour ago. I've seen it take like...

1. I don't think so. I'm not even rooted. Not sure if there is anything I could actually disable in the way you're talking about without root, but if so, I'm open to ideas. It's entirely possible that I did manage to disable something I guess. 2. Well, I know how, and I do it once in a while...

Well, it's annoying, but certainly not your fault. Ya, I'm not big on widgets either. I only have a couple, and one of them is only for testing various things. So, No big deal. I guess I'm looking at a FDR sometime soon, but I will hold off for a bit longer to see if anything else pops up...

By the way, now that I've booted back up after Safe Mode, all of my homescreen widgets are gone. Is that normally expected behavior after booting into Safe Mode; that they'd be gone when booting back up normally?

@doogald Thanks for the tip. Just tried it, but no-go; it still didn't work (neither the OTG USB flash drive, nor the mouse) in Safe Mode.

I just can't accept that as the final explanation.....at least not yet. lol Anybody else?

I used to connect my OTG USB drive and/or a USB mouse, but now nothing OTG works anymore. Any chance there was an update that broke it, or maybe some other app that I installed? Any ideas? NOTES: the OTG USB flash drive still works with my Windows computer (ran chkdsk and no errors found)...

bump?

tap-tap-tap!! Is this forum still active? I would even welcome a good'ol thread-crapping at this point; if for no other reason than to make sure I know there's still somebody on here. lol

Is there a better forum for this question?

In my home automation setup, I'm using 'cheap' Android phones and tablets as wall-mounted access & control panels; displaying a custom web page with data-points and 'buttons' (like Tstat temp&controls, outside temp, room temps, presence states, system Mode state, security cams, lighting...

How To Interact with an Unrooted Android Whose Screen Is Broken (Completely Black & Unresponsive)? I know this isn't a Turbo-specific issue, but I put this thread here first, in case anybody in here has any ideas that are specific to the Turbo (v1). For a number of reasons, I also know that...
