[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] starplaya93:
I got my GS3 a couple weeks ago used from somebody and ever since I've noticed that the front speaker is extremely low, even when the volume boost is enabled. If I am anywhere that isn't almost completely silent then it becomes almost practically impossible for me to here the person on the other end unless I put the phone in speaker mode and use the external.

I took the phone in to a sprint store and they told me there was nothing that they could do, so I took the problem into my own hands and replaced the front speaker myself with a replacement part that I purchased off of eBay but that didn't seem to help at all. At this point it's beginning to get extremely annoying, having to use the loud speaker just so I can hear the person on the other line and I am very confused as to what the problem may be. I figured that replacing the speaker would of taken care of any hardware issues that may have existed but that doesn't seem to be the case. Could there be something else causing very low speaker volume, hardware or software related? I've done some research and this doesn't seem to be a common problem with GS3's in general so I'm pretty stumped as to what is going on.

I am still on stock (unrooted)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] munsterrr:
Not sure if you are rooted or not but it may be worth a try. Try flashing a different rom other than stock? See if it is a software issue instead(ya know). Im willing to bet since your ballsy enough to tear down your phone, you have root.

How was the tear down btw?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] starplaya93:
Yeah, i definitely have no problem rooting, I was just holding off until I fixed the earpiece but you're right, I might as well give it a try seeing as I don't have any other options really.

The tear down wasn't bad at all. It was my first time taking apart my phone and all it took was a tiny bit of patience and a couple screw drivers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] starplaya93:
So I finally rooted my phone and I've been messing with custom roms all day but I am still having issues with the speaker. Does anybody have any idea what may be causing this? I'm assuming it has to be something hardware related but I've already changed the speaker so I'm not sure what else could be malfunctioning...

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all. I'm running the Blu Kuban on my phone and have been loving it so far. As of right now, unfortunately, I seem to be receiving texts hours after my friends send them. However they get my texts instantly. My phone calls work fine, and this sudden delay in texts happened randomly today. Was working fine before and I did not install any new apps or make any notable changes prior to the start of the issue. I updated the Rom to .4.3, still getting delays. I'm trying to avoid wiping all data and flashing a new rom but I will do that if it's necessary. Any input would be appreciated, thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
Sounds like the network maybe.. Myself and others on the thread haven't had that issue.. Maybe try updating PRL/profile, changing modems, before you go the route of wiping of trying a new rom if the problem still continues

Update PRL and profile
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I'm having the same issue on aokp for the last 2 days, only I have to reboot to receive my texts. I called sprint this morning, my issue is network modifications in my area. I'm east of bradenton FL and my towers fall under the SW FL network vision deployment so I'm guessing they are removing or shutting off iden towers in preparation to roll out NV and lte out here in the next few months. If you're in an area scheduled for NV/LTE by end of 2012 this may relate to your issues as well. Updating your PrL and profile may help there's been 3 prl changes in my area in 2 weeks and out of all the phones in my house we have all different prls except my et4g and my evo those 2 show same prl while the other 2 have 2 completely different PrLs

We are legion, for we are many.

Hey everyone! I was just wondering about uses for the newly discovered iso file. I found this thread and have been wondering exactly how useful this hidden feature could be. Link to the original thread: http://www.xda-developers.com/tag/htc-evo-4g-lte/

Hello, I recently rooted my Samsung galaxy s captivate and have been reading up on the flashing of custom roms ( planning on getting serendipity 9). Any ways, I was just wondering, when I back up my current rom, after installing the new one, is there any way to restore the content without restoring the whole rom?
[General Questions and Answers] kingsnoopy:
backup

When you talk about your APPS....please use titanium backup...it always works.
[General Questions and Answers] 505dv:
Yes, Titanium backup is great. Although one downside is that you need to root your phone before you can make a full backup. So you would first have to root the stock ROM, make a titanium backup, then flash a new ROM, then restore the backup.
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
Mybackup root is good for SMS and call log.
[General Questions and Answers] gremlahk:
Im already rooted and I have the titanium backup free version. I don't see anywhere that I can make a full backup just individual apps and info ( sorry for being duh an android noob, I'm used to jailbreaking iPhones which is child's play)
[General Questions and Answers] Eternalty:
Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe u need the paid version to back up batches. Free is individual apps but I may be wrong

[General Questions and Answers] chris170569:
You can batch backup in free version but u need the paid version to batch restore. Free version only allows u to restore one app at a time.

---------- Post added at 07:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

On titanium backup, select backup/restore, after a short delay, top right look for an icon that looks like a sheet of paper, with a tick , select it, the next page look to see where it says backup all user apps n data, think it seems second or third option in the backup section.

Basically all's I want to backup is my 700 snes roms and all their saves....I guess I could get on a comp and put the folder on there, flash it, and drag it back. Thank you all for the help
[General Questions and Answers] gagdude:
Those are saved onto the SD card, no need to backup those (unless you really want to). Wiping the phone before a flash does not wipe the SD card.

Is there a way to move the App draw icon on the stock ROM? Maybe an edited framework or app or something that allows it?

I dont want to flash a stock ROM and dislike Cyanogen in comparison to stock.

This is the only annoyance i have with the stock ROM, so im sure it must be possible?

Has anyone else had problems installing the MTK CPU test app on their Gooapple device? I have a Gooapple V5 3G and after reading through many pages of forums, I followed the advice of one experienced user and decided to install this app. I could not even find the app in the Google play store but could online, but when I view the app, it tells me that it is not compatible with my device. I am pretty sure that user and I have the same device, so I am wondering why it may have had this problem. Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] l33muss:
first off wtf is a gooapple? gimme specs and os.

secondly does this app use a game to find out the fps?

if so have u considered using chainfire 3d to trick apps into thinking it is another device? (only works with games)

What a gooapple is, you can find out by using Google. Im not sure your suggestion will work either as you specify, only works with video games. Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arthur Hucksake:
Hi folks,

Been having a browse through at volume boosters but having trouble finding one that really works.

I'm rooted running Android HD 6.01 and currently on stock kernel. Trinity kernel offered a big improvement but I cannot run that due to purple tint issues on my screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
The audio boost mods that the kernels implement are for headset only.

And if you're having a purple tint issue but like the kernel...adjust the color tweaks back to stock or whatever your preferred values are.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arthur Hucksake:
I spent two hours trying to get the screen acceptable with the toolbox but nothing would hide the horrid purple tint. Barely notice it on stock, have to look real close. If I could find out what the exact settings for stock were, I'd be sorted.

Will try the Nexus Louder patch. See how it goes.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toothfish:
Been using windows phone for 1.5 years now... and i must say im really used to the UI and i believe using windows 8 would be a breeze for me as well

That being said, mum recently got the new ipad... and ive been trying to teach her how to use it...

AND to my surprise... i am actually feeling pretty good about WP for its convenience, slick UI, humanly made functions compared to apple

There is no way i can really take up an apple product now. It was just pure frustration when using it. Everything on WP was just so much easier faster and more useful!!

What do u think?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazza9075:
it is easy to use and all the people i know who have used it feel the same, but its important to remember that iOS android and WP all have their own pros and cons

each person to their own hey!

ive always said that out of the box without modification, WP is a much easier and complete package than the others, in my opinion of course!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeuroXT:
Yep. Have a Titan for 9 months now, and no, even my iPod touch has become an alarm clock or simply a device that pulls my other emails inbox and junk. Turns out its not so much of a fun device like they advertised. Although I've been wanting to mod it to make it more "wearable" like putting it in a PipBoy 3000 case, but that would be ridiculous in public.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeahyeahyeah1981:
I felt the exact opposite when using my samsung focus for a year and a half. Not pure frustration but relief when i picked up an 4s. The app selection and speed of the browser and camera are worth it alone. Screen color reproduction outshines the super amoled as well. I have found that most new smartphone users pick up the UI navigation on an iphone much quicker than wp7. Unfair advantage though since most people have come across iOS at some point and to some degree beforehand. Both better than android though:)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kieboy:
Im kinda looking forward to the next iphone though I have 2 windows phones (omnia7, surround) an iphone 3gs, 3 ipads (2 ipad 1, 1 new ipad) :p im up for all tech devices heheh, just cant find an interest in android at the moment though
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnvman:
I quite like iOS as a whole, but the UI really turns me down, especially coming from WP. Android instead is going in the right direction with JB: the UI is now more polished and minimal WP7 style, reaching a good level of consistency. It's still not perfect but it keeps getting better. iOS instead really needs a complete makeover, there's way too much stuff jiggling around and "wannabe cute" thingies. Especially coming from WP7 it all looks like cluttered childish garbage. It gets stuff done nicely but it's far from being appealing to my eye, and that's a shame because the hardware really is top notch. Just my 2 cents.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctiger:
I have used old windows mobile, palmOS, iPhone4S and I have an android tablet with ICS. I use the arrive from Sprint, and compared with WM phones, it is superior, but to iPhone4s, which I didn't use too much at all, I don't think WP has too much advantage if there's any. I like the interface, but there are just too many little problems that's never get fixed. First and for most, the iPhone4s can send SMS with unicode without any problem, just like normal, you don't need to do anything, but my WP, others only see some junk boxes. Then, the MMS doesn't work after time, need to reset/power cycle the phone. You can't send video at all, no matter what. I can list these on and on, and after all these time, these little bugs never get fixed. The WP7 is stuck at a trial version forever. Just like the WM Microsoft did, they seems to be too slow, can't catch up with all the requests. That's probably a reason why WP isn't popular. In the whole time, Apple releases three new phones with major OS update, I think, and Google got even more releases, I think. To my understanding, even though WP has some very important bells and whistles, if they can't catch up with the demands from average joes and jeans like us to fix the problems, they will lose the game. I do understand my phone is old and the hardware limits it has, but still, those basic bugs should be fixed before they go on to a whole new OS which will abandon us in whole.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crav4speed:
I've had a Dell Venue Pro for about 1.5 years now and my wife finally wanted a smartphone so I got her an iPhone 6 months ago.

I've used iOS maybe once or twice before and not for very long so when I finally got a chance to play with iOS for for a longer period of time, I ended up hating the experience completely! I found myself trying to swipe left and right in apps and thinking "why won't the pages swipe over??" before realizing I wasn't using WP. I got so used to the swiping actions in WP7 that anything else just doesn't feel right. I've just gotten so used to flicking up or down and tapping a live tile or just swiping to the app list and flicking up or down, then tapping on the app I want and then within the app swiping left and right through the different pages and up and down. Everything just feels so smooth and fluid. The letters flowing into the next page inviting me to swipe left or right! WP is a damn sexy OS!

Although I think iPhones are great devices for beginners, I think this is the main reason I could never use iOS now. iOS is all about tapping. Tap an app icon, tap the page you want from the bottom, tap to go back at the top of the app, tap this, tap that... everything is tap, tap, tap, and occasionally scroll on pages that are all static. It's cluttered. There's no fluidity. It doesn't evoke emotion. And I agree with the "jiggling" and the "wannabe cutsie" stuff... what's up with that???

The way I see it, iPhones really are for kids and people that just want an iPhone, Android is for nerds that love to tinker (until they get sick of it and end up buying an iPhone or WP), and WP is for people that want devices that just function properly with a little style and pizazz. WP is the modern OS.

Just my opinion :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctiger:
You just need some time to get use to the iOS, instead of there's anything bad. I have problems with the hard buttons on my WP, the volume buttons, the return/search/home buttons, which I can never get used to, almost always jumped by accidentally touched those buttons.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Raza:
i could never use ios ever since the ipod touch came out since that its always been the same, but my favorite mobile os's from most favorite to least is windows phone, windows mobile first smartphone i used was a treo 700wx, then webos they were going places with that, ios, bb, and android though i have only used froyo and gingerbread worst experiance ever not even wm 6.1 was that bad
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnvman:
Android has changed a lot lately, it's much more polished, smooth and efficient. I still find it a bit unintuitive and overly complicated as a PHONE OS, but JB made it a very solid platform. I've been using it extensively on my tablet in the latest weeks and I'm pretty satisfied. I still like the simplicity and the fresh design of WP better, but it's a whole different world compared to how it used to be in the past, maybe you should grab a Nexus device or something and give it another chance :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyl66:
WP7 was winning the game right up until ms dropped it. I look at the wp metro now and just wish they'd let users skin the thing. They should have introduced a folder system, language support is thin. It's depressing because wp was the best os, now jellybean is out and has ironed out all the niggles with droid. A new ios is only a month away and ms are trying to tout win8, which already looks set to be the biggest failure in the history of Microsoft.

It is nearly game, set and match to apple. What a depressing time for tech :(

A few things wp7 can boast are, best search (camera, tags, sound and text all in one interface), fastest web browsing of all devices, absolutely AMAZING cloud integration with skydive, easy groupings of friends/contacts.... Actually the list of things wp7 is still better for is huge. Why did ms drop it?

I just hope Nokia can get a droid device out there fast.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vintage144:
I would say Win 7 is much nicer than ios , however , if Microsoft changes up the system every 2 years like they just did with win 8 (basically making our win 7 devices a KIN) , i WONT BE BACK! Those people who bought the 2nd gen wp7 fones are screwed now in there contract , right after pushing the wp7 on them and millions sold , Microsoft annouces win 8 and they are not backwords compatible , so you have to have the newest fones in order to use win8 , yes they give a small gui for nokia with no functionality of 8 , your screwed too!

Nope I was a fan from the beginning ,I have focus 1.3 and have changed out custom roms , its been dev unlocked from the beginning, interop unlocked as well ,but I dont see a future in it , I do like the interface , but I think I will get an Android next , and just get a custom rom that looks like win 8 !! or anything else I want ! My Tablet rocks with Jelly Bean !

After having used a long time my well loved o²xda-htc wallaby(which died in 2010 by batterydead,and the long and very sad search of a well priced htc hd2,where i was victim of the ebay classifieds services i bought ,and yes thats sad in some cases,that i must say ,that i don´t know if it was luck that i spend 200€ for my Omnia7 in a telekomshop,but what i can say defenitely after all: Iphone and every other Apple-Product where never an option for me!!! And this is based on some reasons for me: 1. there is the fact,that the appelproducts and especially the phones are so extremely overpriced in comparision of hardware/price 2. that i hate that everyone who owns an appeldevice is so "proud" on this and that this person act like as it is the biggest show-off,the applehype has disgusted me totaly 3. is that iphones are not very longlife-produced and often their screen brakes by first "touchdown" 4. that i whish that the appleconcern is breaken down in some years 5.that it is my opinion,that when appledevices were good everyone bought windevices,and now that windwos has cought up in (hardware) but mostly software specifications,their reputation has lost the multimediadevices and phonemarket.

What i must say also is,when i´ll buy me a new device i´ll buy me an androiddevice,nothing lesser then one of the topdevices(S3 or something like this). This is based on the fact,that microsoft has disappointed me that much as i could be dissapointed by them ,and also because i think that wp8 will be at the end locked down, as much as wp7 was, something i´ll never have to own again as a smartphoneos ;)
[HTC ChaCha] kakish:
Hey everyone,

Some one found out that on htcdev ICS kernel sources are available for download.

HTC support reply on that:
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
HTC ChaCha will NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER get an official ICS update. As stated here: http://www.htc.com/www/help/android4faq/?cid=android4blog

"What devices will not get Android 4.0?

We work hard to ensure each of our products has the optimal user experience and therefore some products will remain at their current version of Android. In general, devices with 512MB ROM or less will not be upgraded to Android 4.0. These devices include the HTC ChaCha, HTC Salsa, HTC Wildfire S, HTC Explorer, HTC Desire HD and others."

Also, the kernels provided on the htcdev site are GB (2.3.5) kernels. Do a compare between the 2.3.5 India and 4.0 India and you will see only 3 gpio files modified; the rest is the same - it's really, really hard to believe that the same kernels can be used for ICS without any additions/fixes/workaround that could actually improve the user experience.

Therefore, I've stopped believing in anything that HTC reps say.
[HTC ChaCha] stayfidz:
1. Alex C. didn't trust them with the Unlocker, yet, they released the Unroot it for the chacha!

2. The device is limited, but why the kernel for developers!? (cm9??)
[HTC ChaCha] lucasarran:
Alex is right, the guy who was replying to me sounded confused about it anyway or he was just in a rush. One point he thought I was talking about a Desire HD update when I didin't mention the device. Also he thought people could just install the ICS update from the Kernel source. And even if it was they aren't pushing it Over The Air....
[HTC ChaCha] Alex C.:
1. There was no reason for me to believe that they wouldn't unlock the bootloader. They stated they will, yet they didn't say when. What I knew they wouldn't do is S-OFF the devices.

2. The kernel is for developers because you need the android sources from google and compile/build ICS on your own. Nevertheless, the sources they say are 4.0 are actually 2.3.5 sources; beyond compare clearly says only 3 gpio files have been modified. I have contacted HTC Support, told them I did a compare between the two kernels and I asked a tech guy to provide me with information about this.

This is their first response:

"Dear Alex C.,

Thank you for contacting HTC.

With regards to your inquiry, kindly be informed that we don't have access to all the details that our engineers have operate over the kernel sources. but i will escalate this question to our engineers from Taiwan."
