Same Problem

I too am having the same exact problem. Sounds works fine in my car via aux, works fine at my desk via normal speakers and works fine on my portable speakers. But each time i connect it to a headset both 3 and 4 contact heads it messes up. The midrange sound is missing when playing clear audio (MP3) and it is really distorted when playing songs via youtube and such.

I have tried all the following with no luck:

I have opened the phone physically examined the headphone jack

I have reset/restored the firmware.

Installed CM10 b2 and tried to see if somehow it would cause the audio drivers to become unstuck.

Installed CM10 b2 and added Team Ac!d samsung sound drivers to see if that would work.

[/LIST]

Some background info: was running CM10 b2 with the team Ac!d version 4 drivers flashed. (they did not work for me at all)

When i reverted back to the Official Samsung EL26 rooted rom i noticed the problem when i attempted to play a song via youtube.

I hope someone else has some insight into this problem.

best of luck to all of you.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gohuge:
It's a hardware issue... It's the jack and the assoicated module/circuit it's attached to. I pulled my phone apart and did some looking. Once I realized it was part of a circuit I knew what the issue was. I've seen this kind of design in other electronics I've worked on in the past. The circuit is there to detect if what is plugged in is a headphone vs. an amp etc. If you ever noticed when you set the volume at one level with the headset then unplug it and plug into an amp the volume level change/isn't the same. That's what the circuit is designed to do (reduce vol. level when a headset is detected so it doesn't blast your ears off). Once I determined this I brought the phone to Sprint and told them what the problem was and explained it they tested then took my advice and changed the modular headphone assembly and that fixed it. Any I didn't even charge Sprint for my tech time!

Hi

Great work . I don't have a great knowledge of linux but i'm starting to read up on it. Is there any way I can help , like you know research or read up on any one aspect and help out there.

Long shot but anyway here to help however I can ... Can you refer me to any good reading material on linux kernel ?

Thnx

Daedricgeek
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kuzma30:
Thank you.

The best reading material are kernel source and contenst of Documentation folder. There are many interface changes in new kernel. The last book I found about kernel development based on the old 2.6 branch(.

http://review.omapzoom.org/#/c/25640/
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] RadicalAns:
Just out of curiosity, are those dumps obtained via UART on the NT, or are you running on an emulator?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kuzma30:
This is NT hardware UART log.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] chrmhoffmann:
awesome

Hi,

Keep up the great work. I will try this one. With what kernel source did you start?

Thanks!!!

Chris

[Update: I have seen that you use kernel.org mainline kernel 3.2. Hmm. No omapzoom? This might become quite tricky, no?]
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kuzma30:
If you know 3.2 branch for OMAP4 then give me a link to it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jtbnet:
I was wondering about that when I saw the msg about no omap4 power management...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fattire:
Use omapzoom..! Otherwise you'll miss all the android stuff...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kuzma30:
OK I'll try it)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] AdamOutler:
That's interesting... Could not look up GPU... Maybe try a blaze board kernel?

the Blaze board is the development board parent "TI Reference Board" of our device... Here is instructions for building a 3.0 kernel running on an OMAP4460 blaze. http://omappedia.org/wiki/L27.IS.2.P2_OMAP4_Icecream_Sandwich_Release_Notes

The 4460 uses the same configs as the 4430. Maybe this will help?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Kuzma30:
The main error with this kernel is

omap_hwmod: omap_hwmod_setup_all: _init_clocks failed

the rest problems are result of first problem I think.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] fattire:
Congrats.. this looks good.. (bluetooth don't worry about as we need the gpio for nshutdown and don't have it (yet)..)

Keep going! :)

Hi,

I am trying to root my HTC Desire (This is the first time I have tried to root a phone) with a view to putting CM7 on in the end.

I know there are 101 posts on here about rooting and I have read through alot of them but I still am not having any joy, here is the story so far ........

1) Loaded Hboot Drivers

2) Removed HTC Sync

3) Downloaded unRevoked3

4) Data reset the phone (Both hard and soft)

5) plugged in the phone

6) made sure usb debugging was on

7) made sure non market place apps was on

unRevoked throws a firmware to new error

The phone is running:

Hboot 0.093.00001

Android 2.2.2

My question is have i missed something really simple or is my firmware just to new and ill have to wait for a new version of unrevoked ?

The guides I have read seem to suggest that 0.093 would work.

Thanks for your help

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harkin:
I'm running Vista on the PC, Android 2.2.2 and unrevoked 3.3.2
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I cannot confirm what has been said about 2.2.2 not working with unrevoked, but even if that is not true, you should not be using unrevoked 3.32. That was designed to get around a plugged exploit in an arabian rom.

Everyone except people on the arabian rom should user 3.21

That said, I dont know what the softeware version for 2.2.2 is so I cannot confirm what has already been said.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayon:
Any Brandings? 0² might have some problems. And wich Recovery are you using?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co@ch:
That's exactly what I wanted to say. Use the latest 3.2x and it should work. If not try it on a PC that runs XP.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harkin:
Thanks for the replies. I have a couple of questions about them.

rootSU/co@ch

3.2.2 was the latest release I downloaded from the main link on the site. Should I try one version back. If so any ideas where I can pick it up ?

Kayon

I haven't used a recovery I have just Factory reset the phone and tried to root it with unrevoked.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes use 3.21.

Look at the download link for 3.32 and change the 3.32 to 3.21 in the link :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] co@ch:
Give both versions a try. 3.2.1 comes with a revised timing of root process for more reliability. If this doesn't work try the 3.2.2 which has the rageagainstthecage exploit reimplemented. I'd say at least one should work. If not try both versions under XP.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harkin:
Thanks for your help everyone.

I have tried both versions and no joy on either (I haven't tried on an xp box yet).

I think I will try and pick up an old wildfire from ebay to play with. That way I wont brick my only phone if I try other ways of rooting lol

A quick question about revolution.io, I noticed it is in beta anyone know how stable it is ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PreScoper:
It still does s-off the phone. Sometimes the beta key won't work.

I have an o2 Htc Desire (android 2.2) bravo version i think..

Which i brought over a 18mths ago it worked flawlessly up until about november last yr when it decided to brick it self how i dont know but it did.

I left it for awhile and it booted up but in safe mode with the red triangle showing and no functioning keys/buttons. I red the forums on the problems on how to fix it but nothing seemed to work. so i just left and went back to the spare icrap3..:p

I recently turned it back on and it booted up fine as if nothing happened but the home button isnt functioning properly but i can deal with that.. wierd..

I would like some help in rooting the device/upgrading the software on it so the o2 locking is disabled permenately?

If there is an app out there that can do it all ? or point me in the right direction thats simple enough to follow..

I have dropped the phone quite a few times, and I think the stock screen protector is doing an amazing job at preventing it from scratching or shattering.

Here's the question though.. would taking off the screen protector improve the screen image quality? Especially when looking at it from angles.. hmm..
[Xperia Play General] jacklebott:
Surprising that the shatter guard is helping prevent scratching for you. Most people find that the guard scratches far more easily than the naked screen. Yes, screen color contrast/quality does seem to improve with it removed, as well as its ability to register touch inputs. Be aware that if you remove the guard, you risk a higher chance of the screen shattering when dropped.
[Xperia Play General] CloudShepherd:
i still have it on. Even though it has a billion scratches, I DON"T CARe
[Xperia Play General] ff7fan4eva:
Don't remove it, it's a vinyl sheet to prevent glass shattering when dropped, i had issues from day 1 with it off, it's like a bad omen, the following happened in order on different days:

1. Scratched more easily (for me) i.e. keys

2. Registered touches at the corners more

3. Dropped and slid across floor, more scratches

4. Cracked screen when it jumped out of my pocket onto a concrete floor

5. Phone laughed at me

[Xperia Play General] MilkyJoePD:
I tried to put the one from the box on, not realising it already had one on. I couldn't do it without getting bubbles in it. Now I know why (It wasn't alcohol after all - maybe). I'd love to take it off to see the difference but I can't find the other one to replace it.

Sent from my Xperia Play using MIUI using the XDA app
[Xperia Play General] dassub:
Nice, thanks.. from reading that thread, the consensus seems to be that the screen quality noticeably improves when it's removed.
[Xperia Play General] julianpaul:
It's pretty much expected that any additional layer on the screen will change it's properties. For some it's an advantage - for example, using a matte scratch guard will reduce nasty glare. In the play's case, NOT using a guard seems to improve brightness and feel because of the mineral glass vs. plastic film.
[Xperia Play General] genetic608:
Ive been using the play good about a week now and was having touch screen sensitivity issues(when dragging my finger across more than an inch or so of screen space, it would stop registering the touch input as though I lifted my finger up, unless I pressed really hard). Took the stock screen protector off with a pocket knife today and IMMEDIATELY noticed a difference. Not so much in screen quality or brightness but w/o it, the sensitivity issues are gone.

So if anyone's having touch input problems I'd definitely recommend taking off the screen protector

Anyway, I've been having sensitivity issues with the keyboard. I'm a pretty fast typer and Swiftkey does a great job correcting my errors. When I type with this phone (R800x), it doesn't register every keystroke. It seems like some kind of bleed together and cause havoc. I actually put another screen protector over the stock one not knowing there was one beneath it. Have people noticed improved sensitivity taking this one off?

I'm used to screen protectors from all my other phones (always use Skinomi Techskins), but I've never had this problem. Is it that the screen isn't that sensitive? Or is my problem magically going to go away once I take it off?
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
If I had took mine off my screen would be FUBAR. Its got a lot of scratches. Its a phone, it lives in my pocket and I'm an active guy. I may replace it, but would never remove it for good.
[Xperia Play General] mustbepbs:
I'm not saying that I'll leave a screen protector off. I'm just asking what people's experiences are with the stock one they put on. It just seems like it severely hampers touch sensitivity, specifically typing fast on keyboards.
[Xperia Play General] Masters2150:
Just a note, THERE IS NO STOCK SCREEN PROTECTOR.

What you removed is the anti-shatter film. Its to keep glass from flying everywhere is the glass breaks.
[Xperia Play General] mustbepbs:
Ahh ok. Haven't removed it yet. I don't want to remove it unless it will help with sensitivity.
[Xperia Play General] TheCraig:
Yeah, I never intended to but I was seeing how scratch resistant it was and I scratched it with a HDMI Port (Did it really lightly) but ended up with a huge scratch so then I removed it :P
[Xperia Play General] tiagoSequeira:
I never got this right.. So we shouldn't take it off? Should we put another protection on top of it? I didn't notice the protector so I attached the one on the box on top of it and then I took it off when I found out I had two.

Yes I know. Take it from a person who owns an Xperia PLAY for more than a year. And it's NOT a screen protector. It's an anti-shatter film to keep the glass from shattering into pieces when you break it.

Well whatever it is, the screen is much more responsive with it off.

I just ordered a new backplate off eBay, after over a year of use, the front is still perfect, but the back is brutal. Phone is gonna look brand new again!

Does it stop scratches reaching the screen? I think so, therefore it 'protects' the screen, simple as

As far as I know the so called screen protector just protects the screen from shattering if the glass breaks.

I pulled mine off months ago, still no scratch. But since its mineral glass, its obvious go not get your phone near sand ;)
