hmm, mine was fine on day 1. now its distorting at less than half volume. from testing on poweramp, any sounds with a frequency lower than 500hz are fine... but anything with frequencies higher than 500z with 40-100% volume will distort the speakers. its frustrating that i now need to RMA this unit since i didnt have any of the other reported issues.
[Nexus 7 General] dwd3885:
I exchanged my first one for a new unit from Sam's Club. Doesn't seem too bad now. Not to say the speakers are great, but no real bad distortion anyway. I'll keep you posted later today.
[Nexus 7 General] fireupthegrill:
I've recorded an audio clip in m4a format demonstrating the problem. I have two Nexus 7 tablets. One is fine and one is obviously bad. The recording is me alternating between the two devices, pressing the "Proxima" system notification sound in the sound chooser. They're both set to the same volume (one notch below maximum). The problem begins around 30% volume and gets worse as it gets louder. Music is unbearable to listen to.

Update: I tested with headphones; each device sounds normal. That makes it more likely that it's indeed a problem with the physical speaker, though it's still possible that the two sound outputs use different DACs and that the problem could somehow be fixed in firmware (doubtful).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obi-lan:
I'm trying to setup IPSec VPN tunnel from SGS3 with stock 4.0.4 firmware to Wathguard XTM firewall. Watchguard has official support for using IOS inbuilt Cisco VPN client so I was thinking I might get it working with Android too.

I was following Watchguard guide to setup IPSec for IOS (which url I cannot paste here) and basically settings are following:

Phase 1:

Auth : SHA1

Encryption: AES-128

PFS Group 2

SA life 1h and DPD

Pre-Shared Key

Phase 2:

Type: ESP

Auth: Sha1

Encryption AES-128

Lifetime 1h

No PFS

And in addition theres Active Directory authentication. SGS3 connects to firewall but I get "WARNING: Rejected phase 1 aggressive mode from x.x.x.x to x.x.x.x (no matching policy)" to firewall log, so apparently therese problems with phase 1 configuration. I've checked shared key many times, so I was wondering if anyone knows which auth/Encryption/PFS should be working on Android client and is there any pitfalls should one know?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] End_Bringer:
I too am seeking a work around for the lack of official support for VPN on Watchguard devices. I have an XTM5 and a SGS3 with 4.04 on it. There is a discussion thread here (i can't post a link, so remove the space) http ://community.spiceworks.com/topic/221632-vpn-access-to-xtm-and-xedge-devices-with-droid-or-ipad?page=2#entry-1532015 that is covering the same topic, and apparently some have been successful, but I cannot get any of the VPN types to work. PPTP connects but no network communication. IPSec doesn't connect, even when configured as the directions for iOS explain... Any feedback on the subject would be helpful.

IPSec on Android ICS

Well, I finally got my Android Samsung Galaxy S3 (ICS) phone to connect to the Watchguard XTM 5 Firmware: 11.5.2 using IPSec. I followed the directions given by watchguard for connecting an IOS/OSX device. Then it was a matter of what VPN client to use. The default Android ICS VPN client under network settings would not work. I noticed that Samsung included a Third Party IPSec VPN client "AuthenTec VPN Client v2.5.1" (not able to find it in the Google Play store). This app did the trick with the default IPSec settings for Preshared Key IKEv1, with the Aggressive mode checked. My co-worker has the Samsung Nexus Tablet with Jellybean (4.1.1) and the native VPN tool works from that version, with default settings.

This discovery brings happiness and rejoicing to our entire IT team who all have Android phones or Tabs. I use 2X for RDP, (which works well), and "ES File Explorer" (free) for SMB file browsing. With these two tools I can do just about everything I did on my laptop. Anyone have better or more tools than these?

I have also tested IOS and Mac OSX 10.6.8 native VPN tool and they work well, as well as the original SSL client that has always worked.

WatchGuard should totally go public with this, many would benefit. It works great! (I wonder if there are some security holes that they are aware of that's preventing them from announcing Android support officially...)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahway:
Hello,

I faced the same issue for VPN connection to my watchguard.

Where could I find the AuthenTec VPN Client v2.5.1? Is it free ? Not avaiable from the editor's website.

Thanks for your return
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] End_Bringer:
It appears that the VPN client on the Samsung Galaxy S3 (USA, Verizon) is not available for other devices...

My phone connects fine, but I have many employees with other phones/tabs that may need this connection as well, so our IT team is in the process of testing out other VPN clients that we found in the google play store. Here is our starter list. We will report back here if we find one that works with our Watchguard settings. Let me know if you find one that works as well. Thanks!

I connected my sgs2 skyrocket to an x550e without problems though it didn't support encryption (gingerbread vpn is broken) haven't tried with my sgs3 (running ics) yet but might try tonight.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] End_Bringer:
One of our guys got the Google Nexus Tablet with Android Jelly Bean (4.1.1) to work with the Watchguard XTM 5 - IPSec VPN.

He was using the Android built-in VPN client.

These were the settings he used:

ipsec exauth: psk

ipsec identifier: mobile

We tested all the apps that I previously listed and no success. It seems that some of them have a lot of settings, and maybe with more testing one of them might work... But I doubt it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waiters:
so after much testing, even with my new XTM515 (before i had a x550e - though i remember getting it working on that with no encryption....)

on my XTM515 i can get connected but cannot pass traffic....

i followed the steps on the watchguard document "Set up IPSec VPN connectivity from an Android device [Fireware XTM v11.5.x and higher" step by step.

now its time to play with it myself, if i get anywhere i'll let you know.

What im seeing is that i can connect, but no traffic is being sent (very few packets, if any.. i.e 1 packet here and there)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waiters:
Opened a trouble ticket with watchguard and after a few days of troubleshooting still unable to get it working on a sgs3..

The official response now is that ipsec is broken on our phones..

WatchGuard was able to connect to my vpn with other android phones but they didn't have a sgs3 to test..

Then they sent me links of other people with other people having the exact same problem

Seems its samsung specific and not android specific. Not sure what samsung does to change ipsec... But it's broken...

With my ios device before I came over to the dark side, ipsec with the watchguard worked perfectly fine...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waiters:
Downloaded the ncp vpn client (trial), imported wgx profile and everything works fine!

If all goes well over my next day or two of testing, going to buy the full version
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcravero:
Where can I find the wgx profle? I don't have in my "Watch Guard Mobile VPN with SSL" directory
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waiters:
You need to generate it from policy manager..

Under vpn - mobile vpn - ipsec - press generate button

Also mobile vpn with SSL is not the same thing as ipsec and will not work

i just found out that there is missing code or the code is not rite in the source they just released.. maybe thats why no one has released any kernels for your phone... has something to do with screwing wifi up.. i swear they did this sh*t on purpose
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
One of the source codes for the 3d's kernels wouldn't even compile...... Damn htc
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PsiPhiDan:
For real? That's messed up. I heard there's two kernels out though, in the early stages. Maybe they just plugged the hole somehow?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
yea i have both kernels.. they are just alpha kernel.. no one can go any further till the rest of the source is released... i bet u we wont see a 100% working custom kernel for our phone for a while... stright bs.. i think im done with htc after this.. once my upgrade comes up.. i mite jump ship to good ol sammy.. some of there phones come with an unlocled bootloader!! and they get kernel source with the quickness..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
Not the first time they've done this, but it's never stopped us before.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kcarpenter:
I'm guessing one of the wireless blobs isn't playing nicely...but then again it really didn't on a stock phone did it? Seems like that was one of the things the update was supposed to fix, so maybe that's where the fix really is...that is in unreleased source code.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ca1ne:
If you compile the kernel from source, prima_wlan.ko works, but when you start making edits it errors out.. im still trying to figure out how to modify without breaking the symbols.. normally this type of module gets compiled along with the kernel...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
Did HTC just release the 1.22 kernel? Go figure I am out of town all weekend. Not that I have much time to fiddle with it.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
Well then, if you don't mind us asking, where did you hear this? I know this was the case with the 3D, but I follow a few kernel developers and I have yet to see/hear anyone say anything like this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
well see last nite ca1ne told me that.. sorry to throw ya under the bus ca1ne!!! but ya thats what he told me and someone else that kno's there issshhh!! people on here are funny.. burn me at the steak!! soory everyone next time ill just wait for htc to tell me ;) ya Ya huRRRDDDDD!!!!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ca1ne:
So we met again det, how have you been, this phone is giving me a headache lol... If people are on the new ota rom, the kernel doesn't like to stick.... If you mess too much with the kernel, the symbols change, Wi-Fi craps out because if the proprietary Qualcomm prima_wlan...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] LiquidSolstice:
I was not trying to "burn you at the steak[sic]". I was simply asking where you heard it from to determine it's credibility. I apologize if you felt that you were considered untrustworthy, it's just that a claim like this would usually require further proof as well as specifics. I know that if I was looking into kernel development (hint: I am) I would love to know what bits I'll run into trouble with.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
yea no doubt.. i come on here to learn and make my phone kick a$$.. im not on here to troll.. trust me :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Art2Fly:
No, they didnt leave out code. They just gave us outdated code because the new OTA rendered that code almost obsolete. The "code that was left out" wasnt left out at all. People just need to remember that this phone has a snapdragon S4, and SOC that qualcomm made and a ton of functions such as WiFi and bluetooth go through that, not the source code. Just need to compile in the modules from the Qcomm into the kernel....
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
Man I'm.nervous with all these issues devs are gonna start dropping....HTC seems.to have made things difficult for them..but the EVO 3d started slow and now had a pretty robust dev section..but like that phone I prob won't have this one long enough to enjoy it..I think I have another upgrade in 3 months or so..perks of a family plan and being an upgrade thief..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ca1ne:
Im stuck with what they gave me for now lol... Though i probably wouldn't have posted anything yet until i had more info, but i can see how evo401 was a bit down because two kernels are having the same issue.. which is understandable.

i did say in an earlier post Qualcomm proprietary... Did they release the source for their api so i can compile it into the kernel... Or if you can point me in the direction of a fix, i would love to move on from this issue
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oOflyeyesOo:
I would think with the S4 in so many phones at this point, that qualcomm would of released it by now. I wouldn't think it would be by phone basis, but all the same proprietary code for all.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] doitda:
Did Samsung us source contain the code to correctly compile their kernels?

They have kernels and the hardware involved may be the same?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MikeC84:
Have you tried building a kernel yet? Did you add the modules into the zip or push the modules to phone?

Im building a kernel have a few governors gonna add some more then will need a tester if any one would like to test...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
I'm always willing to test
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ca1ne:
I got the kernel running a bit, just figuring out what edits break the link to prima_wlan. Deck gave me some advice which I'm grateful for.. the kernel so far will only flash into 1.13 roms.. after i get something out, i will try to figure out the new rom issue. Evo401 was flashing his phone to death this weekend. Lol

Oh and mikec, one thing i did find is disabling perflock in the config will break Wi-Fi. Sharing is caring after all, lol.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MikeC84:
When I build this kernel I dont get any wlan modules, then again I never did on any other phone I built kernels for either...

What are you using for flashing? I have a zip I was thinking I could use and just change the mount points in the updater script. Also have the koush any kernel updater which might work too..

Already have a bunch of governors in my kernel, source in signature...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
lol.. thats for sure!! good thing we have touch screen recovery's now.. cause my finger would hurtin for surtin!! :silly:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ca1ne:
The one with the abootimg in the kernel folder i believe.. anykernel doesn't work... And the prima_wlan.ko is a module not compiled with the kernel because its Qualcomm not htc... Which is your make the wrong edit will break Wi-Fi when someone flashes the kernel.... No source available, no api currently available... There is an online petition somewhere to ask for them.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MikeC84:
I was just saying I built a kernel for epic 4g touch and the Evo 3d none of which had a wlan module and wifi still worked..

The one I have from his github has mkbootimg, mkbootimg.sh, unpackbootimg and dump_image..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detcup4evr:
Lol, glad to see you over here ca1ne! I wondered what kernel devs were going to show up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Zarboz:
hmmm

is that chip existant on all the One series qualcomm LTE enabled chipsets?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ca1ne:
Yes I believe so, and if you check their githubs you will see perflock enabled in the config, and I think on mdeejay's Twitter and others they have already asked htc for the api

Hey all,

About a year ago I had a great standalone app (not part of a suite) that sniffed and displayed images on my phone that any other connected devices were browsing the images from the Web.

The logo had two eyes drawn into it, or a face or something. I wanna say it was pixie or pixle or something.

Does that sound familiar to anyone? If not, I'm looking for a similar app.

Thanks in advance,

Matt!

You should be able to warranty exchange tour phone up to a year from the purchase date
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:

If you have insurance T-Mobile discounts the exchange to only $5 and you get free overnight shipping.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
heres a link to describe the problem and show that all the screens are the same and that even after a little use or placing the phone in heat could really make the screen dingy or have burn in...

http://webdevsys.com/galaxys2-screenBurn.htm
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
What I get out of this, is heat/sunlight/high brightness etc can degrade the pixels and cause image burn. The yellowing is not caused from this. If it was, it wouldn't be a uniform color, it would be darker or lighter in some spots.

And everything about the new screen is better. Now that I compare them, the old screen's text looks choppy, and the new one is very crisp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
What i got from this is if you let the screen in the sun for long periods then yes the whole screen would deteriorate...but I'm not saying that's what you did or the screen isn't better on the new one, I'm just bringing to light a real problem with these screens....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Towle:
Yeah and that's good info to share, I'm sure not many people know about it. But my issue here isn't caused by that. My issue is a good screen vs bad screen.
