[HTC Amaze 4G] alx294:
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
Thanks for the boot animations bro, but maybe you could consolidate all your boots into one thread?
[HTC Amaze 4G] kered424:
I think I'm good with making boot animations for now. No more new ones until I get tired of the ones I just created. But if I do decide to make new ones, I'll consolidate them :cool:
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
Samsung clearly focused on the software, we didn't get the fancy revolutionary hardware there was so much hype for.

If you want a 2GB, SAMOLED HD+, 12mp phone you might have to wait till Nexus 4 or GS4. That being said, TouchWiz clearly has a lot of new features, much more than Sense 4.

I don't really understand all the hatred for the phone. The US variants will probably come with S4 and won't have a physical home button.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
**UPDATE 29 MAY**

CM7-RC3 and CM7 nightly 20120527 both work with the March 2012 baseband and have much higher outgoing volume! I'm not sure the issue I opened on the tracker had any part in this, but thanks to all who helped anyways! Your support was very much appreciated.

As CM7-based ROMs sync to the newer source, I am sure that they too will be fixed.

****************

I'm converting this thread into a Call to Arms! If you are frustrated with the low microphone volume on anything based on CM, please visit the thread on CM's issue tracker to leave your comments and "star" the issue. This is NOT an attempt to flood their thread with meaningless garbage. My intent is to let the CyanogenMod team know that this issue is very real and annoying. I think I can speak for most of us in saying that CM is a blessing to the Android world and that we mean no disrespect. My sole intent is to not let this issue get swept under the rug as it has in the past.

If you have a minute, please leave comments both here AND on the issue tracker to ensure this gets taken care of in due time. Please be respectful with your comments, but share your experience with the team in order to let them know that you are affected. Thank you all for your support with this issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Update! bassmadrigal from the CyanogenMod staff helped me locate the microphone volume values. They are in the /sys/devices/platform/star_wm8994/data file. Using an older CM7 (167) build, I was able to modify the volumes until the phone reboots. I tested the voice quality by calling my own voicemail since the volumes can be different while in a call.

Having done this, I flashed a newer CM9 build. The values at the specific registers in that file are indeed different on CM9, but I was unable to modify them. Any modifications to that file via root explorer or adb were ineffective. I even went so far as to delete the file completely, but it was regenerated within seconds. There is some kind of built-in security (either in Android 4.x itself or CM9) that prevents manipulation of this file, and others I'm sure.

Does anyone know of a way to manipulate this file?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DupleX01:
You're a legend man! Thanks for chasing this issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
From what I'm told, this file is actually part of the kernel. And I know nothing about any of this stuff. Is there anyone who knows how to modify and build their own kernel from source of whom I could ask some questions? I browsed around on Faux's github, but I seriously have no idea what I'm looking at. :o
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Man, I'm just trying to get the ball rolling on this ignored bug. I guarantee if I can fix it myself, I will definitely share.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zenstrom:
Oh man, I hope this leads to the bug getting fixed. I love MIUI and CM, but the low mic volume has forced me to go back to using stock.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
I'm no kernel dev, but I'm still working on it. Hopefully I'll be able to get this issue resolved.

Edit: And by working on it, I mean asking kernel devs if they could build a test kernel with these changes included.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Good luck to you sir!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DupleX01:
Lol, I just can't stop thanking. I was so happy to see that I wasn't the only one (thanks mt3g for your empathy there) to notice this annoying issue in CM based ROMs, when I've opened a thread the other day:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538240

IMHO, for some reason this bug just never got enough attention.

So, I'm crossing my fingers.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Oh definitely, it just seemed to get shoved under the rug like it never happened a bunch of people in Baldwin guy cm7 thread stated it a bunch and it never got any attention if the OP can point someone in thebright direction after he does a bunch reading and reaching out to people then it can get resolved. It is honestly the only "bug" in cm7 that I hate. A bunch of people said they just switched ril's to fix it but I don't think so, I've done plenty of recording and what not with voicemails and I can easily tell between 2.3.3 to cm7 and found a build that was around 150ish
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Almost all of the old CM7 builds are still hosted here: http://goo.im/cm/p999/nightly but for some reason the 170's are missing. Haha...

I agree with you on it being the only thing I hate about CM7/9.

Anyway, another update for you guys. I found a guide on how to unpack the kernel and ramdisk from boot.img so I can modify this file, then repack it. Downloading Ubuntu now. Going to install it in a Virtual Machine and see if I can do this. Might take me a bit though. I'm a busy guy :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Well, I was able to unpack the kernel and split it into the kernel and ramdisk. The ramdisk contains the "sys" directory, but it's empty. I can't find the file that I need to modify. Maybe it's in the kernel part of the split.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SefEXE:
I would just like to say thank you.

And I wish I could help!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
So if it's based in the kernel, do other kernels face this problem?

I'm using CM7.2 with faux kernel and haven't noticed low speaker volume.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
I'll take a look at it when I get the chance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nightf0x:
Low mic volume is the issue. Speaker volume is fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
Yea sorry that's what I meant, I haven't had complaints about that but maybe I'm just loud.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Record your self on a stock based rom or leave a voice mail its very noticeable, speaker phone is almost pointless while on cm7/9 you set the phone down 2 feet from your face and they can't hear you practically it sounds like you're whispering.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
You're absolutely right mt3g, speakerphone is horrible. And I'm typically kind of a "chin talker" who lets the phone drift down away from the mouth. If I pay attention to holding the phone up further in front of my mouth and speak firmly, I can usually get heard alright on the other side, but I'm used to phones in the past picking up a lot better, and sometimes I need to speak softly if my kids are napping, etc.

FYI, this is my test environment (to eliminate variables):

Always call voicemail to perform the tests, because the input volume can change from just using a voice recorder app to actually in a call.

I play the same part of the same song at the same volume with my phone in the same position every time.

Just nandroiding back and forth between stock/early CM7/late CM7/CM9, there is a major difference.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
If I'm not mistaken, custom kernels designed for CM7/9 are based on the original CM7/9 kernels. Regardless, I have personally verified this issue exists with faux's and morfic's kernels.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Do you know a bit more about this stuff than I do? I hope so. I've pretty much arrived at the fact that the kernel needs to be modified before it's compiled. I'm still going to give the latest CM7 nightly or maybe 7.2 RC1 a shot and see if I can modify that file without it getting replaced until I can drum up enough support for the kernel devs to make this modification.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
I know a thing or two. I've compiled my own kernels before, made changes etc. But no where near the level of faux or morfic or harsh.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Well, I tried this out on CM 7.2 RC1. I was able to modify the values via ADB and get them to "stick" but the volume was unchanged. I'm not really sure where to go from here. I guess the input volume is maybe taken from somewhere else.

I actually got these changes to increase the volume on CM7 nightly build 167. Blah. Anyone have any ideas?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
I submitted this issue to CM's issue tracker. You can track the changes here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=5190

I'm out of things to try for now. I'm going to give their tracker a few days to see if there is any movement.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I voted the issue and will follow this, I seriously hope it gets some attention... I just had a call and of course the other person asks me if my phone is like sitting on my desk or if I'm just talking really quiet, lol... I just say oh ya sorry... but I'm started to talk really loud and put the phone directly in front of my mouth lol. Thanks for putting some serious effort into all of this!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MWBehr:
I'm pretty sure you'll have to go to source for the edits you're wanting to do. Here's where you can find the files you're looking for on Harsh's github https://github.com/bhanvadia/tegra-linux-3.0.y/tree/p99x-ics-3.0.y/drivers/star

I'm suggesting working with Harsh because he's usually very open to suggestions and input, especially if you make the edits for him and simply ask him to compile it for you.

Best of luck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Alright, cool. Looks like maybe the modification needs to be done in https://github.com/bhanvadia/tegra-linux-3.0.y/blob/p99x-ics-3.0.y/drivers/star/wm8994.h but I'm kind of unsure as to what to change. :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
I've been messing around with everything I can using what I know and I'm at a loss as to what to do at this point. If someone else wants to give it a shot, I would be more than happy to answer any questions about the information that I've gathered up to this point. Sorry guys, but I've messed with a little bit of code in my lifetime, but not nearly enough for this task.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Try running this script I wrote quickly. http://db.tt/enHgbPrx
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
I've tried running those commands before from terminal emulator and through ADB. They don't have any effect on CM 7.2.0 RC1 or CM9 builds. I think it's because when a call starts, I'm pretty sure there are separate values that overwrite them. I haven't tried pushing those commands

during

a call though. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow if I get a chance. Thanks for the tip!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] djvoleur:
Comment by psychoi3oy@gmail.com: CM 7.2rc2 was released yesterday. Please update ( http://download.cyanogenmod.com/? device=&type=RC ) your device and report if this bug is still a problem or not.

As we want to move forward quickly and concentrate on only the bugs that are still present, if there are no comments in 72 hours this bug will be marked stale.

Affected issues: issue 5190: P999 Outgoing voice volume too low (other end of call cannot hear me) http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=5190
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
So we need to flash their latest, test it and report back?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mariuscm:
I'll test it out today, as well. I'll be back with the report.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
I just did a before and after test by leaving myself a voicemail and I don't notice a difference between rc2 and the previous nightly.

Sent from my Motorola StarTAC
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I'm leaving voice-mails now
[T-Mobile LG G2x] djvoleur:
This was with the default V20c ril?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
I never changed the ril, so I guess it was the default.

For comparison, I upgraded to the stock V21Y today and left myself another voicemail. It was significantly louder.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Tested with rc2 and nothing has changed. I left a comment.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Ya nothing changed for me either I'll leave a comment later on today as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Bump. Taking thread in a new direction. Please re-read OP.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DupleX01:
I've been trying to leave a feedback (nothing inappropriate) and for some reason it didn't appear on the commit's page. Is logcat a requirement to attach?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I left one no issues, without a logcat.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DupleX01:
Thanks! Tried from two different accounts, none gone trough. Hopefully they not gonna move on without looking into it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Seriously... I want cm7 to have that one thing fixed!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Tell me about it. I've used CM7 and 9 ever since I could on this phone and just dealt with screaming into the phone. I then thought it was stupid that I had to do this just so that O2x users voices weren't a little distorted. Yes, there are more O2x users than G2x users but I'm sure there can be a work around...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
I'm sure of it also, as there was an obvious change from one build and then from there on things weren't as good with voice but cm in general, got way more awesome! So I don't wanna or would I go back to those builds.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
Starred and left a comment on the bug tracker.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] r4d14n7:
Yeah, I've been on CM7 #167 and it's annoyingly premature, but voice volume is good. I'm on the job market and have many resumes out. I can't take the chance that someone calls and can barely hear me.

Thanks! I hope we can get this issue resolved.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DupleX01:
Initially tried it from my phone's browser.

This time used my pc and both worked.

Silly me :-)

I worry that Samsung is going to piss a lot of people off if they use the same screen and it has all the problems the Galaxy Nexus screen does...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nory82688:
Yes, technically the screen are the same (superAmoledHD) , but hopefully the screen quality won't vary as much as it did with the galaxy nexus. I bought my GSM galaxy nexus back in November, and I was lucky and received a unit with a good screen. So hopefully I'll get the same luck this time around also ;) can't wait to get my sgs3!

On every video I saw about the S3 thy said the screen looks good and sharp. Are they all paid by Samsung? Or what is the problem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m33ts4k0z:
I wonder the same :P I read a lot of panic about this famous Pentile Screen but on all videos the screen looks amazing and the reviewers say its really good. Dunno really :P
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
Out of 13 paragraphs in their press release, this is all that was said about the display.

"With a 4.8” HD Super AMOLED display, the GALAXY S III offers a large and vivid viewing experience. Samsung Mobile’s heritage Super AMOLED display even enhances to HD and 16:9 wider viewing angles. "

And by using the word "heritage" that doesn't bode well for anything different than previous SAMOLED displays. Since they actually gave holding the phone to your ear in the middle of a text message a product name (Direct Call), I'm guessing if there were advances in the display they wouldn't have been shy about promoting them.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt08642:
Thing is, every review said the Galaxy Nexus screen was also flawless :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
Samsung's obviously paying off every reviewer; OP cannot possibly be mistaken in this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taifuuni89:
I read from some review article that the red pixels are smaller compared to the nexus screen. Also the tone of green is different.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIK516:
This is true , there are three differences.

1. The red pixils are smaller.

2. Its got a smaller ppi due to a larger area screen.

3. It has gorilla glass 2 that is thinner but just as strong and has better viewing angels and less glare.

So in saying this it will most likely look cooler in temp, will still have over 300ppi so still sharp and have better clearer glass.

All in all I'd say slightly better, mostly due to the gorilla glass.

Being an e-thug won't get you anywhere here. You aren't hard coming in here, calling someone a *****, and making threats because nobody will give two ****s what you think/say. It is the internet and you aren't hard so knock that crap off. What he wrote is what EVERYONE gets told when they come here asking questions without reading. Just going to the development section, there are plenty of roms on the first three pages with the info you are looking for. Maybe reading is not your strong point but it would serve you well to RESEARCH before trying to be an asshole.

Try using titanium backup if you want to debloat.

Can anyone please help! I want to revert back to my original a501 rom and do a proper update so everything is bone stock .
[Acer Iconia A500] AstroMag:
t seems at the moment, updates ICS has not yet begun, but for the correct installation of the official firmware, you need to go back to version 3.2.1 (2). That is, roll back and install ICONIA TAB Update Enhancement.
[Acer Iconia A500] rafalc88:
thank you for the reply. i am able to get the update here in canada but when it begins to install there is an error. i think this is because of my current rom. how do i revert back to the stock 3.2.1?
[Acer Iconia A500] AstroMag:
If you do not feel sorry for all the data on the disk, I would advise you to revert to a new loader EUU_a501_ICS_4.0.3_0.001_UBL_CWM.zip

[HTC One S] KT:
Hi all...

So I have a 3 part question -

a) Will any MHL adapter work with the HTC One S or do I have to wait for them to release one specific to this device?

b) Does the phone need to be rooter for the device to throw image onto a TV screen?

c) Assuming any MHL will work, does anybody have any recommendations on which are the good ones? Is it like HDMI cables where the build and quality of product matters and potentially could be a bottleneck or they're all the same? Links are welcome.

Thank you! :)
[HTC One S] suhailtheboss:
MHL does not work on our devices.unfortunately. HTC is releasing a wireless solution soon but from what I've seen its a ridiculous battery hog and its going to.be around

Edit - Sorry for the false information! The HTC representative had told me that there was no MHL capabilities of this device. I assumed he was knowlefavle and didn't think to try it out myself. Seems to definitely work, I have the same MHL adapter someone pictured from expansys later in this thread.
[HTC One S] KT:
Thanks for letting me know... Saved me $15 coz I was almost sure MHL would work give it's still microUSB port and was gonna buy on Amazon. :)

That's a shame.. Hope they come up with a solution soon... I'd love to be able to play temple run on my flat screen :D
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
This supposedly works with the one S..............

I should be getting mine tomorrow hopefully and will post a video and thoughts on it in a few days time.
[HTC One S] KT:
Thanks! Look forward to hearing your results...

If it doesn't arrive tomorrow, I should definitely get it on Monday then..........
[HTC One S] DownloaderZ:
in for results
[HTC One S] dc211:
I have an MHL adapter

so I can answer your question.

a) Yes any MHL adapter will work on our phone. It's a spec like usb and they are pretty much interchanable.

b) No the phone doesn't need to be rooted. HDMI/mhl mirroring is a feature included by HTC with the stock rom. The phone auto detects when an MHL devices is connected and begins to mirror the phone.

c) Here is the one I bought. http://www.amazon.com/Menotek-Adapter-IMPROVED-Protocol-Sensation/dp/B005F9W6DU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336154297&sr=8-1

Also, while it's pretty cool to do the phone to TV thing. It drains the battery super quickly. It's something like 1% of power every 2 minutes maybe faster.
[HTC One S] GumboChief:
You are meant to plug the adapter into a power outlet.
[HTC One S] dc211:
That's why I was shocked, it did have the power plugged in. It actually doesn't even work if the power isn't plugged it
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Mine arrived today, have only given it a quick try and so far it seems good! Does what you expect of it.

My S charges once the mains powers is connected and works perfectly fine when connected to the TV.

Will post a video, pic etc. later on tonight or sometime tomorrow :)

[HTC One S] KT:
Thanks for all that input! :) Will get mine soon...
[HTC One S] KT:
So you're saying you did have the power cable plugged in the adapter and it still drained the battery on your device? Hunh! I was under the impression it would charge the device... I basically am considering this option so I can buy movies on google play and watch em on my big screen (if i must pay for content, I'd much rather that google get my $s than my stupid cable company)..

But if it's gonna drain my battery 1% per 2 mins despite plugging the adapter in the wall that kinda defeats the purpose of considering the MHL adapter. :confused:

Thanks anyways for all the input everybody!
