Exactly, I bought mine for $700 from CL & could of saved 50-75 if I waited a week. But, I'm glad I was able to get one early, it was so worth it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skivnit:
If I waited 3 days I would have gotten it for 50 euros less but I guess that's the premium to pay to be able to play with the phone earlier than others

Hi XDA,

Long time lurker, first time poster :)

For while now I'm looking for an app that gives me calendar reminders. I have two calendars set-up on my android phone, 1 MS Exchange calendar (work) and 1 google calendar (personal). I'd like to get sound notifications for my personal calendar only, not for the work calendar. I like my work-calendar in my phone just so I can check what's up in my spare time, I get reminders @ the workplace via my PC.

The way I see android work is that either I get notifications for ALL calendars, or I get none. I'd like to get all notifications for one specific calendar.

I'd like an app that integrates, aka I don't want to make new calendar-entries specifically for the seperate notification. I'd like the app to look at my google calendar.

I've been looking for this kind of app for quite a while now, I'd really like it!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerIsGo:
For the second time, I was attempting to downgrade from ICS to HC last night and ran into a bit of a problem. Here's what I have and did:

TF101 with 9.2.1.24 US 20120503

I rooted with PERI-0.4 (found here) and that worked fine. I then installed Super User and Recovery Installer. Started Super User, closed, then started Recovery Installer and clicked the button. It did its thing and rebooted. I had the zip of the latest released HC built on my microSD card and booted into the recovery console (Power + Volume Down). From there I wiped the cache and installed from the zip file. It did its thing for several minutes before saying done.

I then clicked reboot and instead of getting to the android guy with the green progress bar (like it did last time), I get to the revolver screen where it stays there for a few minutes and reboots..and repeats. I left it overnight and still doing it. I tried getting to the recovery console again to try and reinstall, but when I do that (power + volume down), The android logo comes up with a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in him. It might also be worth it to add that I can't turn it off unless I hold the Power + Volume Up buttons. Holding the Power or the Power + Volume Down do not turn it off, it just reboots.

PLEASE does anyone know what I might be able to try?

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerIsGo:
Thank to the wonderful people over at AndroidRoot.mobi and their custom NVFlash tool, along with using the latest stock ROMs, I was able to flash the stock rom and now have a full functional tablet again, AND as a double plus? Its at HC :D
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Why did you use Recovery Installer after PERI though? What PERI does is install custom recovery xD
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerIsGo:
I did because when I tried to install the HC zip file in the recovery manager, It said it was unable to do so (something like directory doesnt exist IIRC) so ran Recovery Installer and then it was able to recover from the HC zip file....before crapping out on me.

Hey guys, just curious since I know the BT in the device is a bust would it be possible to get BT unning through an OTG cable and adapter. I was only thinking about this because i was going to try playing with an emulator and thought it would be neat to be able to use a real game controller.
[Kindle Fire General] Lotek:
Not possible, you'd need driver support in the ROM for specific hardware.
[Kindle Fire General] lucidvtec:
That sounds possible
[Kindle Fire General] That Baker Guy:
I am wondering this as well, i thought read in the 3.0 kernel thread that some one got this working with the use of an app
[Legend General] big5824:
For the past few days I seemed to be getting a lot of random force close errors on my legend, with no discernible pattern. This continued up to the point where all of a sudden pretty much every app crashed and wouldnt remain open more than a few seconds. I then tried to reboot, and since then the phone just gets stuck in a bootloop at the rom loading screen. I've tried four or five different roms, all with the same error.

I would assume this was a memory/processor malfunction, however the fact that I can still flash roms and make backups with clockwordmod suggests to me the hardware could be ok? Does anybody know of some sort of diagnostic rom I could run to check this?

Thanks guys

Matt
[Legend General] ranger4740:
Here's some stuffs to check out, don't over clock, Max 600mhz, not every phone can be oc'd, maybe even try less processor speed say 480 MHz. Have u been ocing your phone on extream speed for long time, like 806+ mhz, that will kill a processor for sure.

Have you done a fix permissions with clockwork mod? This can help heaps with fc's.

If using an ext partition which type are you using 2 3 or 4, apparantly if your using ext4 and your phone is crashing it can cause even more issues.

Using lots if widgets on your screens?

Have you tried a different/new SD card?

My understanding is your rom space can eventually fail if your flashing lots n lots of roms, but you said you can flash successfully, so that sounds good.

There is a few to start you off.
[Legend General] big5824:
Amazingly I have managed to completely fix the problem. In a last moment of desperation before buying a new phone I decided to try wiping the battery stats, simply because I had never tried it before (didnt see the need to). Miraculously this did the trick, and I managed to boot into cyanogen 6!

I then restored a backup I made when the phone first died, and confirmed it was still broken as I expected. I then wiped the battery stats , and viola it worked!

I have no idea what is stored in the battery stats, but I am very surprised this made a difference. Thanks for your help anyway ranger.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vincent Law:
Full description of the problem:

I just got my EVO 4G LTE the other day, as a replacement to my original EVO 4G. However, I noticed when it was plugged into my car's AUX port, it puts out a high-pitch (like a teapot) noise. This noise happens as long as the headphone jack is powered up (something playing). Even if I turn the phone's volume down all the way, the high pitch is still heard. Otherwise, the audio from the phone can also be heard normally.

Things I've tried:

1. Different cables known to work. All act identically.

2. Headphones. They work fine.

3. Another car's AUX port. Worked fine.

4. Jiggling the jack on either end causes the pitch to change momentarily, but does not go away.

5. Slightly unplugging it from the car side (so one of the channels is not connected) makes it go away, leaving me to believe the high pitch noise is only coming from one channel (I believe the right channel, hard to tell).

Things I don't want to do:

1. Get a new car stereo.

2. Use a Bluetooth adapter. I already have the Stereoclip, and it doesn't do phone calls. Anything else sounds awful with music.

Does anyone have any solutions? I think its some sort of strange feedback/grounding issue, but I have no idea how I would fix this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jasonkc25:
I don't have a solution, but I am experiencing the same issue with the phone plugged into my car's AUX. As long as music is playing I can't really hear the whine, but between songs it's pretty annoying.

I haven't tried playing around with the different EQ settings. By default it's been going to Beats. I may switch to a different setting or try a different player like Winamp. I'm currently using the HTC media player.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vincent Law:
In my experience it has absolutely nothing to do with what app is being used, nor the EQ. It's nothing software as far as I can tell.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] papadunit:
if your phone is plugged into the car charger and your audio jack is plugged in to listen to music. what our hearing is a ground loop from the cars alternator. try unplugging the power supply and see if that helps..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vincent Law:
The car charger makes no difference. I have tried using nothing but the audio cable in the phone and still had the static.

I was under the impression that a normal ground loop would require a charger, but...

Modplan: are you sure this will fix it if the noise occurs even without the charger plugged in? The noise is high-pitch, not really a hum, so I'm wary as to whether it will help here.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lacrossev:
Its not a simple ground loop problem. I wired my power to the phone using a separate ground from the car's common ground and the issue still persisted.

Try cranking the volume up then when you hear the noise, start playing with the touchscreen. When i did this the noise started changing according to the movement of my fingers. I concluded that there is something going on with the grounding of the capacitive display thats causing another grounding issue, but its not an issue with the car, but an issue with the phone.

I didn't want to go through the vicious cycle of returning my phone over and over until i get one that didn't have this fault so i just went with a samsung hs3000 hardwired in to my car.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vincent Law:
I wasn't able to replicate this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] geniustheanimal:
I've had the same issue, but it's only when charging. I figured it had something to do with the aluminum body and, as papadunit said, a problem with grounding and your car's alternator and blah blah blah science.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vincent Law:
I'm happy to report that this actually did solve the problem, amazingly. Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mbaseball3:
Actually had same issues this passed weekend but with my asus transformer. Was using it for navigation tethering from evo with both charging from my 400w inverter. Plugged transformer into aux and had same high pitching noise only when inverter was plugged in. Even tried different audio cables, same chit.

Headset Jack's other issues

I can confirm the same behavior with my EVO 4g LTE. My HTC Touch Pro 2 or Iphone 4s never had any of these issues with my vehicle's AUX jack. I also verified that if I turn the volume on the phone all the way down that the noise is audible on the vehicle's sound system. It also doesn't matter what player I use or if I add any equalizer settings to the audio. Finally, the noise is present whether the car is running or not.

Can you guys confirm: If you pause the audio on your player does the whine end about 4 seconds after and startup again if you press play? Or if you shut the player down does the noise go away shortly after?

I did some research and some said it has to do with the AUDIO DAC in the phone turning on and off as audio is played, paused, etc. If the output device has high sensitivity these sounds appear.

I had another issue with my Plantronics wired headset distoring when making phone calls. It did not present the whine but it distorted the callers voice as if the treble or bass was too high. I tried various audio settings but nothing changed. With other headsets the issue does not present itself. I think that the audio DAC is also sending higher/lower frequencies that are greater than some headsets can handle.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dankorzon:
That Kensington thing that was posted can easily be made with common household parts. Basically all you need to do is take the big bulgy thing from any cable that would have it and attach it to your audio cable. It works best if you have one near each end of the cable. it's called a clamp-on ferrite bead and is just a clip with iron ferrite in the middle. Since i'm new I can't post a link buuuut what I can do is tell you the keywords to look up on google for the ehow link: cable magnets eliminate emi . enjoy!

Dankorzon, is this what you're talking about? If so I'm going to go get some tomorrow. I'm having this feedback issue too, but it is only when the car charger is plugged in. But I'd love to get rid of that sound. Drives me crazy.

SOLVED: I used a ground loop isolator

I posted earlier that I had the whining noise in my car even with the engine off. So it wasn't related to an alternator issue. I use a Blitzsafe (blitzsafe.com) device to add a line level input jack to my Honda Accord's stock radio interface. It works well with all my other devices except the Evo 4g LTE. This past weekend I did a little tinkering and noticed that if I pulled the RCA jack on one channel (left or right) every so slightly so the ground tabs weren't touching the noise disappeared. With only one channel connected the noise is not present. I'm not sure why the noise is present with both channels connected but it definitely pointed to a ground loop problem. I did some research in audio forums and some said that a wire could be jumpered so the RCA ground touches the receiver chassis and that would solve the problem. Unfortunately that did not do anything. I touched several different grounding points near the receiver but the sound was always present.

I went to Best Buy and purchased this: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Fierce+...36.p?id=1218186610567&skuId=9855136&st=ground loop&cp=1&lp=1 It works great. For whatever reason the EVO 4g LTE's DAC must be sensitive or not have the right filter to block the ground signal. This explains why the Kensington product also works.

I also solved my headset issue. I can confirm that older corded Plantronic headsets will not work well with the EVO. The EVO distorts the speaker in the headset. I'm pretty sure it's because it sends lower bass frequencies than the speaker can handle. Only solution was to use a newer headset.

Thanks all for your help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] modplan:
That is what he is talking about, but that is NOT what the kennsington device is. Google "ground loop isolator" for info on what the kennsington is, it is NOT simply an aux cord with ferrite beads on it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] johnychevyeg:
I've got the same problem in my car. This only happens when plugged into the charger. I'm going to try a ground loop isolation device which will arrive sometime next week.

I guess I don't understand why the phone would only do this when no music is playing though. It makes me think maybe a patch could solve the issue if HTC knew what the issue was.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jnewkirk10:
Ok, I have had 4 Android phones in the past 3 years.stated out with the Samsung Moment, then og Evo, then 3D, now 4g Lte. Something is wrong. I think it is a software issue or the way something is written. Its like when there is no audio playing, the audio section powers down, maybe to save battery and turns the ground loose, that's when the hum begins. Then when something needs the audio section, it powers back up and the hum goes away. Surely something can be done about this. I believe it has to be something simple that changed with the software in this phone. My 3D never did it, even when I ran a sense 4 Rom, but there were different drivers and kernels in that Rom. Does anyone know if cm9 does this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Vincent Law:
I should note that the audio whine only happened when something WAS playing (and a few seconds afterwards) for me. Regardless of volume level, the whine would be heard whenever the phone had any audio playback occurring. I haven't had it in anything other than my car (other car has no issue), so it's very specific.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] allynsky:
I have the same irritating high-pitch squeal, but only while charging, and only in my Peterbilt (big semi truck). My Super Duty pick up doesn't have the squeal. Same audio cord and charger. I'm willing to try anything to get rid of that deafening noise.

Sent from my stock (with goodies) evo 4G lte.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] willy900wonka:
I have used a simple transformer, with the + going through the primary to the vehicle power outlet.

The secondaries are left to float. The reluctance in the transformer has a period which removes the noise.

Look it up. Also keep in mind you'll need enough amps to cover the rating for the charger +25%.

You can also buy an anti hum kit for the alternator, since the frequency changes with rpm.

The anti noise cables work by filtering out the alternator hum, after it passes through the phone.

IF you want some reading look up low pass filter.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nicholasb:
I used to be big into car stereos in the early 2000's. 2 12" subs in a ported box sending 1200w to each sub, with a couple capacitors and even 2w batteries to boost and stabilize the voltage. I hit 150dB+ regularly. Along with the big bass, i had a 600w amp just to run the highs and mind-ranges as well. Everything had a wine! Even with good grounds and even a capacitor straight off the alternator (it only diminished the wine slightly).

This really all boils down a a ground loop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ground_loop_(electricity)). The isolators mentioned earlier in the thread do help, and i'm glad they work out for you.

If you have an after market system, check your amps ground! Make sure its a heavy gauge wire and that the mounting point on the car is clean of paint and that your battery terminals are clean. This should help!

Man i miss big bass..

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PR_phandroid:
I had the same problem with my EVO 4G LTE in my 2004 RX-8 with the AUX mod adapter. I bought this (you'll have to cut & paste the URL and add the www because XDA still has me as a newbie)

amazon.com/gp/product/B001EAQTRI/ref=s9_simh_gw_p422_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0332GWZ49GQR1SQ2JW0K&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846

from Crutchfield but stupid me it was slightly cheaper at Amazon. Did the trick plus has male/female connectors while the ones I've seen here have stereo male or male/male. I can still hear the whine just a little bit but barely noticeable so I'm one happy camper.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adma84:
Specifically my problem happens when NOT plugged into the charger. This helped with that situation as well?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] glorenzo7mm:
The noise you are hearing is hi resistance in the ground circuit of the automobile check all your grounds
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adma84:
this makes sense if I am using a power adapter, but the noise is there regardless. And not on other devices, so I doubt it's a ground loop...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nohart:
Well I believe it's a software issue that can be solved. Because when the phone starts to stream the noise goes away. I think the software is loosing the ground when its not streaming as the noise is only present when the music stops streaming. Once the music starts back up the noise goes away.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] spdweb:
YES! This is exactly what I am experiencing with my new Evo LTE. Switched from the original EVO which did not have this problem. Using the same AUX cable, same charger and of course the same car. In my case the noise, which is alternator whine and some other digital blips and beeps, only happens when NO audio is playing through the phone but the cables are plugged in. If any audio plays, even so much as the volume up/down ding, the interference and whine go away and then return a few seconds later.

This is a factory AUX input jack.. nothing I wired up myself. The problem does go away when the charger is unplugged. but again.. never happened before with any other devices. Seems like there is some kind of active filter in the ELTE that is turning off to save power perhaps?

I also came across a post where the OP claims to have gone though 2 other ELTE phones and returned them for various other reasons. It was not until the 3rd phone that he had this problem. Do they all not do this? I am just contemplating returning the phone... or trying to deal with it myself.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yeblan:
Software solution

The Aux Noise Filter app (can be found on Google Play) solved the issue on my Galaxy Note.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] adma84:
Did you have this issue WHILE music was playing though? This only seems to dampen the signal in between songs.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] yeblan:
No. I heard noises only when nothing is playing, and my charger is plugged in. I've experienced no noises while music is playing.

Edit:

My problem fits nohart description -

And the aux filter app solved it. This is what the app description is stating as well. I don't think the app is good for other scenarios.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DJConan:
Thanks for mentioning that app. I've been look around for a solution. I figured there had to be a software solution eventually since the noise was when there was no sound coming from my Nexus 4. I installed it today and tested it. Worked perfectly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] negativzeroe:
Going to try this and hope it helps, but I get it with car aux, car BT, and my Razer speakers in 3.5mm jack as well so it's definitely the phone.
