Flytouch 3 screen timeout stopped working. Stays on all the time. Anybody know how to fix?

I've had my FT3 6 months and WiFi has never been a problem. Starting today, it scans for WiFi but will not connect, even though my network is recognized. I'm running Tim's 5a. Since it worked fine up until today, I suspect a hardware problem, but does anyone have any reson to think that...

I've tried four file managers and an app called SD Reader and none of them show the EXT partition on my external SD card. It clearly shows on my PC when I run an app called "Linux Reader". Does anyone know how to get that partition to show up?

I set up an 8 GB EXT partition on my SD Card and transferred apps to that partition using Link2SD. However, Link2SD stops after transferring a few apps stating "Failure: No space left on device." I looked at the partition using a Windows app called Linux Reader and the apps that were...

I have an EXT2 and a FAT32 partition on my SD card. I moved apps to the card using Link2SD. However, I cannot find that partition in Astro or any of the other file managers that I tried. I saw on another post that they can be found in a directory called sd-ext/app, but I can't find that...

I thought I posted this earlier, but it doesn't show, so trying again. Sorry if it turns out to be repetitive. Splashtop will not install on my FT3 running Tim's 4e. The app is not listed in Market (although the Splashtop website says it is), so I got it from one of the download sites...

My Edimax antenna dongle has ceased working. I get no reception with it. The power light is on, so comnnection is likely OK. In addition, Imy standard WiFi connection keeps dropping out. Does anyone have any idea how I can trouble shoot these problems? It doesn't seem logical for these...

I want to set up my FT3 for 3G. Have read a zillion posts on the subject, I admit to being confused. Also don't know if advice from people outside the US is applicable. My questions as a US user: Which model dongles will work with the FT3 using Tim's 4e or 5a? Is the setup as automatic as...

I saw posts on another forum indicating that Copilot runs well on an FT3. I purchased a Copilot US license from the Copilot website, installed it and it won't run. I contacted Copilot technical support twice, and they can't figure out why. They haven't tested it on an FT3, but claim that it...

I want to convert some DVD movies to AVI files and play them on my FT3. I'd like to have the AVI files on USB Flash Drives and plug them into one of the FT3's USB ports. 1. Is what I want to do feasible? If so, any caveats? 2. Any recommendations for "best" DVD to AVI ripper? 3. Any...

I've been reading on other forums that some plugin USB antennas do a good job improving the WiFi performance on the FT3. The two I've seen mentioned are the Edimax 7711UAn (based on Ralink RT3070 chipset) and the Skylink 1504n (based on the Realtek 8191SU chipset). Supposedly they work plug...

SD cards come in several speed ratings with Class 10 as the fastest. Does anyone know it the card speed matters to the Flytouch? There have been several posts on the same subject re different phones and they all say it doesn't matter, but I wondered if that also applies to the FT3.

I found a cheap cure for the weak speaker problem. I bought a Macally IP-A1111 Portable Stereo Speaker for less than $7 (US) including shipping on eBay. It is a cylinder 3" long x 1" diameter and plugs into the Flytouch's headphone jack. Runs 8 hours off one AA battery. Works great as long...

There have been discussions re streaming video on other forums, but I thought I'd see if anyone with a Flytouch has successfully been able to run streaming video apps like HBO GO and Netflix. If so, how did you get it to work? In my case the apps start but quickly freeze.

I installed Copilot Live latest version, and all I get is a splash screen. Does anyone know what might be preventing it from running? I'm using Tim's 4e ROM.
