[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] TarheelGrad1998:
I've been having an issue with the media audio streaming to Bluetooth on the Blaze, which I did not have on my previous phone (Optimus). I pair with a Soundfly View in my car, and use the app BeyondPod to listed to podcasts. On a "fresh" Blaze, the audio will begin to play/stream for a split second, and then stop (though the podcast will continue to "play" or advance on the phone). I can occasionally get it to do it again by clicking play, but never for more than that split second.

Through experimenting, I noticed that phone audio seems to be fine, as well as audio on the Music player. What I've found, consistently, when this happens, if I start the Music player, start playing some audio then pause it, then go back to BeyondPod, it streams fine. At least for a time, though I've yet to figure out exactly what "resets" this workaround. But when I'm unable to play, I have to redo this Music player trick to play the podcasts.

Any clue what is going on here, and any permanent fix?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
Bluetooth streaming... I have been doing this for a few years using a slightly different method that I'll share here in hopes it might help. I know this is kinda unrelated to your app, but this might be a fix.

Connect any bluetooth headset (I use my PS3 headset)

Download an app called BTmono (its free and a very simple interface, on/off)

Press the on button

Now any sound you would of heard out of your phone speaker you hear on your headset. This lets you listen to music, audio books, videos, or whatever on your headset. When you are tired of it, make sure to press the off button on BTmono to go back to normal. Hopefully this will help or at least provide a temp fix for now. My boss just thinks I like to wear mine all the time, he has no clue I am jamming dubstep and listening to audio books all night :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] TarheelGrad1998:
Well, even should that work, it's really the same solution...using another app to force the streaming which should be happening automatically if you're connected with the right BT profile.

I did forget to mention that I do use A2DP volume, which launches an app (BeyondPod) and adjusts the volume when BT is connected. I also used it on my old phone, so I doubt it's related, but...

Nobody else has any problems with Bluetooth from other apps? It's just me???

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shortiemikii:
hey guys

okay for starters, I have looked almost everywhere for a solution and tried a lot of different things/files.

So my phone is the T-mobile HTC G2, It is un-rooted, S-ON, and I should be on the latest update of 2.3.4

I have never rooted it the whole time I had my phone (1 year+) and recently the phone froze, so I took out the battery, put it back in and powered it on. Resulted me in a boot loop. I cant get past my "Tmobile G2" screen.

When I go into HBOOT this is what it says:

VISION PVT SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.82.0008

MICROP-0425

RADIO-26.13.04.19_M

eMMC-BOOT

Apr 13 2011, 15:51:54

I have tried factory reset, cache clear, factory clear. Nothing works.

I have tried flashing stock or custom stable ROMS to see if it would get me out, but the stocks give me an error basically telling me my phone is already on the latest version And for custom roms, I get a "signature verification error"

I have tried some PC10IMG's but none of them actually go through and update my phone.

I honestly have no idea what to do, I just need a working phone, please help? :crying:

isn't that channel closed because perm root was found for the G2?

STILL NEED HELP WITH MY PROBLEM PLEASE :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Well if you would go to the chanel you would know it isnt closed and you would get with your problem

Being you dont have root, you have a locked bootloader and you have tried the basics there isnt much that can be done here.

If you want to try some more, then go to the irc chat, if then well....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SharpnShiny:
Hi, does anyone know are there any improvement in this regard in the ICS upgrade? I see that Gingerbread had a number of improvments in this area over Froyo. On this list, I haven't seen any significant audio improvements:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history

p.s. I note that many of the 2012 Sony devices have Clear Audio, Clear Bass and Surround Sound and I'm interested if Google made any changes in ICS that Sony can take advantage of.

Thanks for any helpful comments! :victory:

Yeah I just found a ported version of the Walkman app from the Sony version of ICS on the Xperia S...I don't see any changes that are obvious. I wonder is there anything 'under the hood' that Google has done.

I did not think possible to hit 7g mark.

That its at about 43% the performance numbers for quad core processor tabs.

Most impressive.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mooselips:
Just like the title says, I set a custom sound for calendar notifications, but it reverts back to default as soon as I leave the calenar app. I go back, and the sound for notifications is not the one I previously set. Is it just my phone or is it like that for everybody?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mooselips:
No help? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
A little more info may help, are you stock, roooted, custom ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mooselips:
Stock, never been rooted. I placed sounds in "notification" folder on the phone, not on SD card. I can see them when I set the sound for calendar, and I can hear them of course. But if I choose any of my own sounds, as soon as I leave the app and go back, it shows the default sound again.

I can, however, change to one of the Samsung sounds successfully.

My sounds are fine, they worked on my Rezound, and work on my Galaxy Tab.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
Seems like irs a problem with your tones, or the storage location since you can use the stock tones. I would just use zedge from Google play and download a new tone and see if it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mooselips:
See, that's why I specifically said the tones are fine. They worked on Rezound, they work on my Tab now. I just specifically checked again, I can set them for text message notifications, alarms, ringtone, anything, but calendar. Same tones. It's a problem with the calendar app. Same tone set fot txt works like a charm. But not for calendar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Same issue here, it's the same thing with the timer in the clock app. Definitely a bug that has not been addressed. Pretty annoying.

Sent from my VZW GS3 running Synergy/Trinity/Dark Horse Rises
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
I knew they were good on your other phones, but maybe the s3 didn't like then. But if they can be used as other times that's not the case. I would really try zedge not sure were it saved then but mine stick just tested it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mooselips:
I'd rather not install another app that that I don't really need. Maybe there's a fix to this problem some other way?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I think the point is to test with an app that is known to work - for all we know, it might be a permissions issue with the files you copied, for example. Without direct knowledge of why the problem is happening, testing with a known quantity might help eliminate one set of possibilities and hone in on the problem-causing element.

The app can always be uninstalled, as well.

Another test might be to place your tones on a SD card (if you have one), which should have no access issues for any stock app.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
That's actually my point, test the apps download. Then look at were they are saved and the permissions. Then simply put your files in there with the same permissions.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Yeah, it does smack of a permissions issue on its face, doesn't it?

Could be a different bug in the app, but maybe the background process is having an access problem so reverts back to the default tone.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mooselips:
Ok, I'll test them on SD card and report back. However, if I can set the same tone for txt, for example, it doesn't seem to me like a permission issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I just tested and checked permissions (which differ in a manner that shouldn't matter from the ICS notification files, I believe), among other things. I wasn't able to see where I could select a custom ringtone for the new event, though had copied them over to various directories, but did select a custom sound for all calendar events. It defaulted to the standard tone.

Then, I saw this thread that explains the issue and offers a potential workaround/fix:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...ncluded-ringtones-anyone-using-their-own.html

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mooselips:
Ok, I knew it wasn't a permission or a tone issue. It's a glitch with this thing. Very annoying. I guess all we can do is deal with it, huh? Calendar like that is pretty useless. I never hear any reminders. :thumbdown: :banghead: :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I use the On Time notification sound, which has been good for me. I have rather sensitive hearing, admittedly.

The link I offered explained that a paid app in Play can provide different ringtone options, repeating notifications, popups, etc. for the Calendar:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...Zvb2JhcnNvZnQuY2FsZW5kYXJldmVudHJlbWluZGVyIl0

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mooselips:
Yes, yes, I've read that. But couldn't it just work like every other phone (I assume)? Paying for some tiny feature like this, because it's a stupid bug, just doesn't sound very nice.

On second thought, if there's an app that can do that without root permission, shouldn't we be able to accomplish the same without that app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Well, this whole thing is making me consider re-rooting my phone, so that I can copy the custom tones to the proper directory, update their permissions to match the other tone files and see if that makes a difference. Maybe the Calendar app is hardcoded to use tones in that subdirectory only, but the selection UI screen is coded differently, allowing any tones to be selected.

I feel that if I select a tone in Notifications or a similar location, the Calendar app goes back to its default of the "On Time" tone, that is a clue to where it might be looking for a tone file when an event goes off. Or not, we'll see.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mooselips:
Well, sure it will work if you root it. But I still think we can make it work without root, if some app can get it done for unrooted phones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I'm guessing that app hooks into calendar events, but that involves writing code.

This works for me:

1. Root your phone. The easiest way I've found is located here.

2. Using Root Explorer (or similar file management app that has been granted SuperUser privileges after rooting) Move or Copy your notification sound file(s) to:

/system/media/audio/notifications/

I changed the permissions to rw-r--r-- for the moved files, but it turns out their default permissions also worked fine.

3. Back in the Calendar app, select your moved/copied notification ringtone from the list.

4. Unroot your phone, if desired.

Doing the above allowed me to use custom tones for the Calendar notifications - I tested with .ogg files, but perhaps .mp3 or others may also work.

(At first, it seemed a side-effect caused loss of system sounds, but it turned out I somehow turned the System sound volume to 0 through some fumble fingering.)

So, no side-effects and I'm back to being stock, unrooted. Whole process took less than 10 minutes with testing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mooselips:
Are you going to honor the warranty in case I need it? ;) More importantly, will you get me another phone if I brick it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Haha.

Actually, I'm not putting a custom recovery on my phone, let alone a custom ROM, until the IMEI and other issues seem to be worked out. There's too much variability in people bricking their phones going around, IMHO. This, from someone who flashed new ROMs, kernels, etc. on a Droid Incredible a few times a day, at some points.

However, rooting is far less fraught with issues, I feel. I've rooted four different Android devices thus far and each has been no event, no exposure to bricking-like issues, etc. It's just enabling su access for programs in the system, but not changing the OS otherwise.

The process I linked to for rooting and then unrooting is so easy and fast, I can do so only when needing to configure something on the phone that requires root, then unroot back to stock configuration as soon as my task is completed. There's no issues with keeping the phone rooted, but I'm just being a stickler. Overall, it's been remarkably painless.

That's the best I can offer :)

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mooselips:
I've rooted only one phone, Thunderbolt, and didn't have any problem with it. I'm not too scared, just cautious. I did it to get rid of bloatware. But with ICS even that is not an issue anymore. I might try your suggested method though, but not for just stupid calendar notifications. It seems like more than it's worth. Thanks for your help. At least I know now that it's not just me and I don't have to hard reset this thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] witttom:
I realize that the last post in this thread is over two weeks old now, and I realize that as a noob it is quite possible for me to post dumb questions (please forgive me), but has there been any sort of update for the Samsung Galaxy S III for this little glitch (which I am experiencing as well)?

I too would like to change my calendar notification to something other than what it insists on using, yet I've been unable to. ...and as a noob, I have zero experience with rooting.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Zippy1970:
Let me start by saying I've always ran AmeriCanAndroid from SD on my old HD2 (stock, with WM6.5). But that phone is nearing its demise so I bought another slightly used HD2.

The new HD2 had MAGLDR installed and was booting MIUI from NAND.

Because I've always used SD versions of Android ROMS, this whole MAGLDR and NAND thing is completely new to me. So I'm positive my answers might have been answered (many times) before but since I'm so new to this, I have no clue what to search for.

Anyway, I replaced the MIUI ROM on the HD2 with AmeriCanAndroid, made a complete backup of the old HD2 using Titanium Backup and started to restore it on the new HD2. After just a few apps, I was told my phone was "Low on Space". After some searching here and on Google, I found out that to increase storage space, you need to create an EXT3 partition on your SD card then use an app like S2E.

I created an EXT3 partition on the SD (using Minitool Partition Manager on Windows) and installed S2E. However, when I start S2E, all options to move data to the SD card are grayed out. If I click the (I) icon, it shows it doesn't find "SD-EXT".

If I go into File Manager, I can see a SD-EXT folder just fine.

So what am I doing wrong here?

S2E works only with CyanogenMod7 and CyanogenMod9!

go have a read, and find out what aokp, aosp and cm7/cm9/cm10 in the title of a rom means, and you'll have a much better chance of picking an a2sd script that works for you.

Note: I searched forum for screen flicker issue, but it wouldn't let me reply to the thread for some reason, so I'm creating a new one here.

Phone : Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747m, ICS, not rooted.

Hi guys

I noticed when I'm typing a message or email, the screen would flicker sometimes, its so quick that if you blink you'll miss it, I know I'm being picky about it because its an expensive phone. So I did some more tests on it, I thought it might be due to samsung keyboard so I installed third party keyboard and noticed flicker again, then I installed sms pro, still noticed flicker; noticed flicker in email app as well as gmail app. At this point I thought it might have something to do with the software(sending keyboard signals to the operating system?) since it only happens when I type. So I did another test, but this time in SMemo and I didn't notice any flicker, I was puzzled here, so I tested 5 times for straight 15 minutes straight, no flicker.

I noticed that in all the apps I tested except SMemo there was something in common - traditional "textbox" object, whenever I typed in a typical textbox, I noticed flicker. So I downloaded few note taking applications which were using typical textbox and non-typical textbox(not sure how many different text objects are there in android, I haven't started android app development yet.) so I noticed flicker in apps with typical textbox, and didn't with non-typical textbox.

So I was wondering if you guys can do a similar test on your phone to confirm whether the flickering exists on your phone or not. I'll be relieved to know that I'm not the only one with this flickering issue, and hopefully Jelly Bean update will fix it.

To reproduce, just open a messaging app and start tapping on the letters from Q to M one by one.

Side Note: I did send the phone for repair in case it was a hardware issue, they couldn't reproduce the issue for some reason, reloaded the firmware and sent it back to me. sigh

tldr: Screen flickers when typing in any other app except SMemo.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
You didn't search very hard, or you would know that the flickering is a known issue. That can be fixed by either raising your minimum clock speed to around 384mhz, remove your under volt settings, and disable hw overlays in dev settings.
