[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyrax83:
I know this is being discussed in the sound quality thread, but I think it needs it's own thread.

This happens on every audio player, and only whilst the screen is off and not connected to charger.

Thanks to StudioMinal for his excellent diagnosis: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27381652&postcount=328 and here is the crackling he found: http://studiominal.tistory.com/attachment/cfile25.uf@116E7E414FD95EF02706A1.wav

No fix from Samsung as of yet. For us non-rooters, it's important we force Samsung to fix this asap as it really distracts from the listening experience and otherwise great sound quality.

Yes, my phone has this too, thought it was only my phone but seems others are having the same problem.

Have contacted the store I bought it from and now waiting for reply about what the will do.

Hope the contacted Samsung about this and we will get an fix soon.

Hey all, I'm rocking stock, not-rooted, 4.1.1. I get the cracking sound in the stock music player and player pro. No issue for streaming apps like Pandora, etc. The latest software update (about a week or two ago?) did not resolve the issue. Does anyone know if there is an official resolution? I've been reading the main sound quality thread for about two hours and since I'm not rooted, the CPU workaround won't work for me. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

I just clicked on the Software Update Option on my phone and I got a message saying that there was a software update for my phone but that the servers were busy and to try later. I already have version 2.3.6 on my phone so I'm wondering if AT&T is about to deploy ICS on the Skyrocket. Unfortunately, I'll now have to wait until tomorrow at the same time to check for any updates as you can only check once every 24 hours. Does anyone have any other way to force your phone to check more than once a day? Crossing my fingers that the message wasn't a glitch. And still waiting for the shipment of my new Galaxy S III.

The last time I get that message, a couple of days later i get 2.3.6 so cross your fingers. to AT&T get thos done right.

Find interesting as some people can check more than once for updates. Some people say doing it just taking out the battery for a few minutes and check again but i haven't had any luck yet:confused:

My S3 continues to download old mail (most of which I know has been deleted) from as far back as February (and continuing backwards). This happens on several accounts (BT, Orange, MSN).

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
The phone can't download something that does not physically exist. Even Samsung can't do that...

If you are using IMAP your other/old client might've moved the email to the Trash folder instead of actually deleting them. Note that this will also cause your email account to fill up.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
The old email account probably didn't "update to server" correctly, so emails that were deleted from the client (phone) weren't actually deleted on the sever.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icedragon05:
Still doing it

Cleared all online servers of messages I can find, and the deleted folders and the trash from PC and phone. The s3 is now downloading messages (emails) from last September. From Freeserve (orange) BTinternet and MSn. All of which i am sure have been cleared.

I am deleting from Phone, email and trash folders, ditto pc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
The phone cannot download messages that do not exist.

So they have to exist somewhere, even if you can't see them in your provider's webinterface.

Try using a good IMAP client (such as Thunderbird) and check if there is any folder with contents.

Does any one know how to theme the htc resources with out crashing? im theming MikG 3.11, but every time i theme the resources, it crashes on the weather widget. any help?:confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rgsgroup2005:
Hmmmm.

What are you using to theme it? Have you extracted the resources and right clicked an image and tried using a paint shop program then simply painting over the images? Thats what I am doing on CM7 and did some cool stuff with the widgets and MMS on the latest build (such as blach background and neon edges). What OS are you using? I'll try it since I wanna theme sense now. :D I'm too new to XDA to post my new roms:(. I'm focusing on stability and HD modifications but like your idea:D
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
First thing you will need is an apktool then folow the directions to install the proper framework. Then use paint, photoshop, or gimp to make your changes. Be careful of anything that ends in .9 as these are special pngs and need to be handled differently. I used to theme Sense but stopped due to having to rewrite to many files for the changes I needed and have moved on the AOSP based roms which are much more straight forward.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bbaaccoonn:
Posting here because I was completely ignored in the AOKP discussion thread.

I'm on the newest 6/15 build and I noticed that while in recovery it's not reading my internal SD card, only in the backup and restore menu. Whenever I select install from SD card it gives me the option to choose from it there, but most of my backups on on the internal SD. I tried making a backup on the SD card and everything seems to work, but whenever I reboot my phone that backup is seemingly gone. It's not showing up in ROM Manager, or in recovery under restore. Any help on either of these issues?

I personally think that any 720p anime look extremely good on the HOX screen , preferably one with bright colors.
[HTC One X] Nit3m4re:
Yeah anything animated whether its CGI or Anime would most definitely do the trick. A photo I took of my back yard seemed to capture ridiculously lush bright greenery which does 2 jobs of showing off how nice the screen is and how good the camera is.
[HTC One X] diegosps:
I always watch anime along the way to work.
[HTC One X] 4z01235:
I tend to just find videos on YouTube which I know have 720p available. I play paintball, so I often use youtu[dot]be/UFmKIOTYWNs or youtu[dot]be/nCGMQC2wWn4 (not allowed to actually post links yet).

Note, there is dubstep-ish music in these videos. If you don't like dubstep, don't open the links (just fair warning!). There are also some short scenes between cuts of paintball footage that are a little edgy, eg there's a very short clip of a pole dancer (fully clothed at least) in the second video.

I like to use these videos because 1) 720p is available, 2) it's a video of something I do, 3) the videos not only show off the screen's resolution but also do a pretty good job showcasing the colours and contrast.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] servo75:
Hello all,

I've searched the web and have only found solutions involving rooting and something called Cyanogenmod. Looks tricky. I'm fairly tech savvy and not totally opposed to doing this stuff, but I'd really really REALLY rather do this only as a final final last desperate resort. My only goal is simply to have Google Play up and running on my Android without rooting and putting on all sorts of fancy mods. Besides, I'm not even sure if there's a Cyanogenmod for my device. I looked and it's not in the list.

I recently got a Coby Kyros MID1042, Android 4.0 tablet. It doesn't come with Google Apps. I want to install Google Apps. I have tried doing this by using the APKs and installing manually. I found instructions on Youtube and downloaded some signed apks with Vending 3.3.12.

Things seemed to be fine until I clicked on Google Play in my apps tab, I was prompted to enter my Gmail account info, so I did. I got the message "Your phone needs to communicate with Google Servers to set up your account...", but after a few minutes, I got a message that says, "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server", followed by "Unforunately, Google ServicesFramework has stopped."

I have searched this and other forums and have come up with solutions that seem to involve something called "rooting", resetting and installing some MODs... I'd rather use rooting or modding as an absolute last resort. I'm wondering if there's any insight as to why I'm getting these messages, or if someone may be able to point me to a better .apk package. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone

Ive been using the Nexus S 4g with Slim ASS mod and have had no issues so far. It had been constantly reminding me to update to the new rom version [3.8 to 4.0] so I downloaded the file, booted into recovery, and installed from sd card. Now whenever I boot my phone, it gets to the Google progress bar, loads all the way up, and locks up. Nothing can get it off this screen besides removing the battery.

I can still boot into recovery [volume up + power] but nothing from there seems to change anything. My computer wont recognize it when its connected even though it makes the noise that it did, so I couldnt even try to do - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884093

Is there anything that can be done or will I have to wipe my phone and start over? Will that even fix the problem?

I was able to use http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884093 by mounting USB storage in recovery mode but when I boot with this, Airplane mode will not turn off rendering the phone still useless.

I can mount anything in recovery mode. However, when i try to connect my phone to the computer not using recovery mode's mount usb storage, my computer doesnt recognize the phone.

I havent found a reason why airplane mode will not turn off. I tried using the one click back to stock files but that gives me an error saying USB debugging is not enabled even though it is. Ive tried using that by mounting usb storage and having my phone booted but nothing seems to help.

Not trying to double post but I figured I'd at least let it be known what I can do with my phone and what hasnt worked.

Edit: Questions belong in Q&A not general. Also moved
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JunDavis:
Why should I unlock my bootloader? Please be specific.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fareeed:
Good question. Well unlocking your bootloader opens many opportunites, main one being you can flash custom kernels and then flash custom roms such as ICS and other roms that require unlocked bootloaders. Although you can flash custom roms on an unlocked bootloader, it's a lot longer and you can't flash kernels and therefore flash any roms that require custom kernels.

If you want to try custom roms, ICS and just experiment with your phone then go for it, otherwise just leave it. It's up to you really but since I unlocked mine I've never looked back... :)

Hope I helped
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JunDavis:
Are custom Rome and kernels better?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agraceful:
Simple answer, yes.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beez1717:
Yes. I when you overclock your phone you need a custom kernel to do that. Also a custom kernel is usually smoother then stock. Lastly, if you want ICS you need a custom kernel so.....
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
You want to know why you should unlock bootloader? Well here is a reason, Sony decided to scrap ICS for Xperia Play. While other Xperia devices get to have ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
Unfortunately this "water damage" mallarchy (which I'm pretty certain was all started by apple with the iphone) is pretty standard practice now for most companies. I believe they have litmus strips within the phone which discolour when water gets to a dangerous level, but how accurate they are is anyone's guess.

I know I take my phone into the bathroom when I have a bath to listen to music and sing innapropriately and on more than one occasion I've taken the battery out days later to find worrying amounts of moisture collecting internally. Maybe I've just been lucky.

It does seem a little suspect that they return it completely unworking, and yes, I would definitely get back to them stating that they've sent it back worse off than when you sent it in. If you're in uk, it may be worth having a chat with citizens advice bureau. I find them incredibly persuasive for things like this.

All the best mate, hope you get something resolved satisfactorily.

First question, I have been using my daughters charger for her Samsung tablet that is a 2 amp, is that ok to use with the evo, I use it because it charges faster then the 1 amp

Second question, when doing a fresh install does it matter if I just wipe data factory reset or wipe the ROM in TWRP
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spyderekz:
you can use the higher amp one, if its too much power the phone wont let it charge.

for fresh install factory reset is the same as wiping /data /cache and /dalvikcache. i think it might even wipe /.android but also make sure you wipe /system afterwards just incase the ROM developer forgot to put it in script

Pull out the battery, then reinsert, hold volume down & poeer, then connect your phone to the pc and re run the ruu. The first time that you ran the ruu, it made a hboot pre update.
