So what do y'all think about the no expansion thing? This phone is a beast and i'd personally buy this phone in a heartbeat if it had removable storage, but it doesn't....

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soundrizm:
Just a heads up! I found a really sweet music player that plays any file music file type that I throw at it! It's called DeaDBeef Player. Get it here. You'll also have to install the free plugins pack, which is here. I do a lot with music and what not, and this is the only player that I found that will play wavs; including 24 bit wavs! It's a little ugly, but VERY functional--I may try to theme it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Does it have lockscreen controls?

Does it have a built in equalizer?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nikufellow:
Never heard thanks for the share will try !
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soundrizm:
I dunno about lockscreen controls--I don't use 'em--but I know it has a 10-band EQ with a preamp control. Also, the free version has no limited functionality, just that it has ads and the pro does not.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Can you defeat the equalizer/tone controls? (Not just "zero" them, but remove them entirely from the path)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soundrizm:
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking, but here's what you get in the EQ: 10 bands and 1 preamp (each with their own slider), levels from -20db - +20db, on and off button, presets button, and an "all zero" button. Hopefully that answered your question. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] htaak:
I believe Jeff is asking if you can "bypass" the software EQ and the associated sound degradation that a software EQ introduces. Please correct me if I'm wrong Jeff.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
That's correct. The better your headphones/IEMs get, the more you hear the kind of distortion introduced by most EQ software.

It looks like it has an "on/off" for the EQ which should hopefully pull it out of the signal path.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soundrizm:
Sorry guys! For some reason I didn't get any new post notifications by email... but yeah, the on/off button acts as the "defeat" in regards to EQ. I also found out that this is using the same audio engine as the Linux version (link).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] turtlepa:
Says the Android version is very different but than try for sharing I will try it out
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] u170who:
I tried it out and it doesn't have the lock screen or a status bar control. Sorry, gotta find something else.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] soundrizm:
Yeah... it's more for audiophiles than your average mp3 user. It will play anything...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkuni:
It is amazing how dependent on these two technologies I've become. CIFS would mean more to me than OTG - but OTG would certainly hold me over until someone compiles new .ko files for CIFS.

I haven't even seen a kernel for 4.2 that has these built in yet. Yes yes, I know .. it just came out. It also shows how dependent we are of the swift release cycles of these awesome dedicated developers.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozgreg:
CIFS and OTG support is included in the latest nightly build for CM10.1. OTG works well but CIFS (mount) issues remain with the CIFS mount showing as a empty directory..

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domovik:
Ok, so here's the deal.

After I updated my s3 to Jelly Bean, the following problem started to appear:

Sometimes when WiFi turns off either manually or automatically (I have Tasker which turns off WiFi when screen goes off), WiFi gets stuck at "Turning off..." and doesn't react on any actions.

The switcher gets greyed out and I can do nothing about it. The only way to troubleshot it is to restart the device. Once restarted, everything works fine, but, as you already guessed, it works not for too long. =)

It all depends how lucky I'm. Sometimes the phone can work the whole day without causing the glitch, when I'm not that lucky I have to restart the phone a couple of times during the day. <- really annoying.

The phone is rooted with Galaxy S3 Toolkit by flashing an insecure boot image.

I tried to do factory reset but problem still remained.

I have attached a few screenshots as a proof as well as a screenshot showcasing my phone's firmware specs.

Any ideas or help will be appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I would blame Tasker try uninstalling and test .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domovik:
Thanks for the reply. But it seems like this is not the problem with Tasker. As I stated in my previous post, I did factory reset my phone and the problem still remained, though no third-party apps were installed other than those that came stock.

I can reproduce the bug very easily: all I need to do is to turn my WiFi on using the icon under notifications bar and then, once it gets turned on, quickly tap the icon again to turn WiFi off. At that point WiFi gets stuck.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starfish_001:
What date is your kernel - August ? If you have a late build of JB the stock JB on my S3 had a kernel build from 19th October.

You may need to just flash back a later stock boot image you will retain root.

Fixed things for me - just extract the boot.image from a full stock rom and use the toolkit to create a flashable tar should fix your problem and improve the battery life
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domovik:
Did as you suggested, tested it a bit and everything works like a charm. The problem is gone, plus I now see more RAM in the Task Manager (this was another issue I was thinking about), and the whole phone seems a bit smoother (maybe this is a placebo effect, dunno).

So thank you very much and you have my appreciation.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starfish_001:
excellent - pleasure to help
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbzon3:
What rom are you using, i want also to fix this. Thank you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dawg:
Could this perhaps be brought to attention again please?

How exactly did you fix it and did it involve losing any data?

NVM: Just download and flash Siyah. Probably the easiest fix.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domovik:
Nope, flashing kernel will no impact your data.

I don't know about Siyah - I simply took a stock kernel, prepared it with the toolkit and flashed it with Odin. This was pretty easy and it worked.

Hope this post helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] timekillerj:
Hello, I have tried using CM10 numerous times over the last few months (nightly builds) but always had to switch to back to a stock based rom. The reason being that when I use any CM10 variant anybody I call in my car (using handsfree bluetooth) complains of loud road noise. I was hoping since CM10 went stable for the Hercules this problem would be solved. I installed the stable rom last night but today had the same complaints.

I went digging in the settings and found the phone setting for noise cancellation (unchecked by default) and checked it, but that did not help.

This is not a problem on stock based roms. Is there any other settings I can tweak to try to fix this before switching back ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mazenimad:
I just did an update on Google chrome, but after the update when in a web pAgr , scrolling doesn't work as it should. I mean there is no flinging or kinetic scrolling. Am I missing something?

Can some one fill me in pls. Thank you

Hi!

I just had a very curious bug with the launcher after unlocking - the bug lasted for some minutes (clicking around in the launcher, opening apps (those didn't have the problem) and suddenly after writing an SMS and going back to launcher it vanished.

Anyone else having this problem? This was a one time occurance.

Anyone? Does the One X + have this?
[HTC Droid DNA] mattjacobson:
Hey all,

So forgive me if this is a bit rough, I am only an intermediate user and my understanding of s-off and rom development is a bit limited.

The one thing holding me back from this phone is Sense; I have been pretty loyal to HTC since my original Incredible, but while I love the hardware, I can't stand the UI. (I cringe every time I see those god-awful icons and themes.) That and I love my AOKP, PA, and CM roms! (Paranoid Android on that screen has me drooling, haha)

Given what we know about the phone hardware, what is the likelihood of strong developer support, and how difficult does it seem to be to root? (ie. any big devs buying into it/pledging to develop for it, is the bootloader locked down like crazy, is the chipset common to other phones, etc.)

Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
Well idk if this helps but heres my input(also new to htc so idk about s-off) the chipset is the same as the LG N4 but the RIL(radio interface layer) is going to be inevitably different. How much of a problem that will pose in ported devlopment I do not know. I would like some more educated input from a dev as well! I'm sure we'll garner support from atleast a few good devs I know there are a few out there that arestill vzw customers because they had the VZW gnex also the vzw s3 hada alot of support so were bound to pick up a few of those guys!!!!:victory:

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 AM ----------

edit: I do know that on the samsung fascinate the RIL put the breaks on development for a LONG time until Adrynalyn(BEAST) came along and pretty much wrote/reverse engineered it from the ground up!(PROPS @Adryn!)
[HTC Droid DNA] NorthlandAZ:
I hope all DNA are shipped with S-Off.
[HTC Droid DNA] mattjacobson:
That would be a big step for me! I hope so too.

--

If the shipping units are all S-Off, what does that do for the rooting scene? (From my memory of the DInc days, S-Off was the big hurdle that had to be overcome.)
[HTC Droid DNA] Ronn Plae:
Thats not gonna happen unfortunately for us all
[HTC Droid DNA] nikufellow:
Lets invite over some one x devs .
[HTC Droid DNA] jonah1234:
I think you still need a root method but it will be a lot easier and the devs don't have to waste time in trying to get s-off.

[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
I agree with the OP about Sense. Hopefully with such impressive specs, we won't suffer too badly until devs can get us a working root. Same goes for all the bloatware this device is going to come with:

And that's on top of all the Google Apps. With the exception of "My Verizon Mobile" I have no desire for any of those and will want them gone ASAP.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
given that the one x is not a verizon device, your more likely to get the verizon devs on the device (myself included :p )

[HTC Droid DNA] goathog02:
Why?
[HTC Droid DNA] caneaddict:
so i'm completely new to rooting. Not very interested in anything that requires upkeep. I want the Nexus 4 but would prefer Verizon's network. I've often heard different issues with rooting from camera/text issues etc. I'm not looking for variety in ROM's just a basic vanilla android just like Nexus. If I order the DNA, will I be able to root it once with a stable ROM that doesn't have any issues and works with the phones camera etc properly? And how long before that type of root is usually available after launch?
[HTC Droid DNA] Wot-75:
You might be better off with Nova launcher Prime and I don't mean that to be disrespectful as I'm assuming you are more interested in not using Sense... just a suggestion if you still want to easily do OTA updates yet have a more stock experience vs. Sense. You definitely want to root though as there are "other" features/apps that become available to you that you can't access unrooted.
[HTC Droid DNA] vinylfreak89:
I have mine (pre-release S-OFF unit) so Team Venom will be on it. Just waiting for the tweaks to get ported to JB.
[HTC Droid DNA] caneaddict:
What about Cyanogen? When they have a final build like they do now with CM10 for 4.1, isn't that pretty stable - do all the smaller things work like camera etc.?

Basically I'm wondering if I buy the DNA and wait for a CM10 type final build for 4.2 and root then would i still have bug issues? Or would i be able to do that one time and the phone would be similar to having a nexus?

Sense > aosp

[HTC Droid DNA] th0r615:
Well that makes my choice easy. Guess I'll be sticking it out with my G-Nex a bit longer. Can't handle the eye candy overload that is sense. AOSP or bust for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
I wouldnt give up so fast. I'm sure it wont be long for AOSP. Ive seen many a miracle happen here on xda,
[HTC Droid DNA] zepfloyd:
Except the Rezound was up, pulled, and then put back. More recently the DInc 4G LTE was up and then pulled too, so you can't say definitively the DNA will stay yet either, but clearly hopefully it does.
[HTC Droid DNA] trickster2369:
I don't believe I said definitely. But I'm with you on hopefully it doesn't.
[HTC Droid DNA] dsb9938:
I have made every effort to seed the field so that devs will be interested in this phone.

There is an unsecured kernel, two recoveries, and root.

And I can tell you for a fact, S-Off is already being worked on.

Should unlock be pulled, I think we have enough of a head start to make it work anyway.

Of course, that's just my opinion, and I know absolutely nothing about anything.

D

.
[HTC Droid DNA] caneaddict:
I'm new to rooting. Would you mind giving a bit more detail. Are HTC phones generally less easily rooted, is it Verizon, HTC? Is there something specific about CM related to HTC or do you mean they generally take a very long time to get a stable build? Historically do Verizon phones or HTC specifically end up with stable builds and how long does it usually take? What I want is clean Android just like Nexus and stable with no issues, is that unlikely for this phone?
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
I can answer some of that. The primary difference is that only nexus phones ship with vanilla aosp. When these phones are shipped with sense the kernel source is generally not immediately available and is specific to the chipset and particular radios used in each model. Also the ril(radio interface layers) necessary for the radios are not written with aosp in mind. Our fine devs here at xda generally don't have problems getting around this but it can take time. If and when HTC releases kernel source it will greatly simplify things. Vzw has had a lot of phones that have ended up with stable aosp builds. Granted sometimes features break and well likely loose the use of the HTC dedicated imaging chip(hope not) but it depends on the phone and yes historically Verizon has been the biggest impedance in achieving all of this. Hope that clears things up a bit!
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
considering how smooth sense is these days, I just don't get aosp so much anymore. I have read all these nexus 4 reviews talking about how great the clock app is, and when I read what it does, I wonder "didn't it always do that?" Yes sense is a little bloated, but it includes all the standard widgets that people end up installing after installing their favorite 3rd party launcher. Last time I ran apex or nova, I had it running, plus widgets for people and calender, plus a nice clock widget. All that was actually using more Ram than when I use Sense.

I really hope people don't buy this phone and then spend the next 6 months complaing about sense and how cm10 isn't ready yet....
[HTC Droid DNA] mattjacobson:
I can't comment for others, but for me there are a couple of factors.

First off, Sense destroyed a couple of the new Android paradigms, for instance the multi-tasker is severely limited compared to stock 4.X. Also, I personally find the entire look and feel of Sense to just be childish (but then again, I also think the entire Droid brand is over blown); the Sense icons are just ugly, and I don't know why they felt like they had to redesign the menus. But I suppose aesthetics is a personal element.

Also, keep in mind that custom roms (based off of AOSP or others) enable a lot of creative use cases. One that I would particularly like to see on this device would be Paranoid Android. PA allows you much more control over the presentation of applications, allowing us to balance phone, tablet, and phablet "modes", something that I think would be amazing on a phone with this screen. And PA is just the tip of the iceberg of unique features that custom roms open up to us.

Now I don't deny that flashing custom roms isn't for everybody, but for those of us that appreciate it, it can be a very nice element (and for me, frankly a big consideration at the time of purchase).
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
I don't mind people having choices, just gets old when they get a half working version of something then everyone complains. I don't feel that android needs to be hacked anymore. It works out of the box so much better than it used to.

To each their own on home screens/ launchers. I find touchwiz to be much more childish than any of the others and find sense to be the most professional.
[HTC Droid DNA] SubliminalME:
Sense is the worst. It still looks almost identical to when the Thunderbolt came out 2 years ago. I watched a video on AC the other day with the guy showing the DNA beside the Thunderbolt and the menus looked the same, the icons looked the same. IMO, Terrible.

I have a Nexus 7 which I just updated to 4.2 and it looks fantastic...there is no need for an overlay anymore. And sure, you can use launchers to compensate, which at least removes the terrible Sense launcher, but it's still there.

How big is a 4.1.2 Sense 4+ rom? A gig? More? What is an AOSP rom? 150 MB?

Actually, I have an upgrade available, and I'd love to use it on this phone...storage doesn't bother me, battery is probably fine for my uses, but the thing I'm concerned about is all the roms that will come out will be bastardized Sense roms. The Thunderbolt did alright for itself with AOSP after a while, at least with GB....but I looked in the Rezound forums and they're all 'desensed' roms. I looked in the One X and they were mostly the same.

Anyway, I don't mean to be negative, and I think the phone looks like boobs, but Sense...ugh...
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
sense is a love it or hate it thing

but if aosp is your priority in a phone, staying with a nexus is the best bet of course
[HTC Droid DNA] SubliminalME:
Well that's easy to say in theory, but considering Verizon has only one Nexus, and that Nexus couldn't pull a signal (or take a decent picture) to save its life, that isn't really an option.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
well if sense isnt ur cup of tea, theres always the galaxy note 2 which is coming soon

at least thats a non sense (albeit touchwiz option)
[HTC Droid DNA] SubliminalME:
I get it...you love Sense...and that's fine. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] jonesin:
I personally will be loading up AOSP at the first oportunity. IMHO there are some much more proffesional looking overlays available designed by the theming community that make sense feel dated. Once theme engine is available(only AOSP) then you can easily change the look and feel to your hearts content with the push of a button. My 2cents.
[HTC Droid DNA] mattjacobson:
So I am torn... One half of me wants to snatch up this beauty of a phone the day it is released, but the other half thinks I should wait and see what kind of developer community springs up around it...

What are you all thinking?
