[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatltael:
Hi guys, I just got my nexus 4 today. My friend brought it down to India from the US and so far I love everything about the phone. Its absolutely stunning but I did notice this one issue and just wanted to see what everyone thought about it.

The phone speakers work absolutely fine but when I plug in any earphones, the sound quality is screwed up. I can't hear lyrics of songs and the music seems to be missing an entire section of it. I think the mids aren't heard all. Even the ringtones and SMS tones sound weird with the earphones plugged in. And another odd bug is that sometimes when I plug in the earphones, the phone spontaneously opens voice search. Or when I select a ringtone or notification tone, voice search just opens.

Has anyone else had this issue? And do you think its a hardware problem or a software bug. All I did with the phone was unlock and root it so far. I really hope it isn't hardware cuz I don't even live in the US and sending it in for warranty is unrealistic.

Have you tried a second set of headphones or speakers? It sounds like the headphone connector is not making a proper connection. I've found that the jack on the N4 is quite tight. I have a 3.5mm cable that won't click in properly but all my headphones fit fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatltael:
Yes I tried 2 sets so far and the same thing happens. And these earphones work perfectly on other phones.

I just noticed another bug. Voice search can't recognize what I'm saying with the earphones plugged in. But it works fine without earphones.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vante:
Could be a faulty jack.

Since it works fine on speaker mode, and the headphones work fine with other phones, thats the only thing I feel that could be wrong with it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatltael:
So it should be a pretty minor thing to fix then, right? It couldn't be a serious problem like a sound card/chip problem or something worse?

If its just an earphone jack connection error I don't mind waiting for the nexus 4 to launch here in India and just paying the service center to fix it since it should be cheap and I rarely listen to music on my phone anyway.

If it could be a serious issue then I should probably mail it to the US to have it fixed :/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NishantM:
Are you by any chance trying the earphones with mic?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatltael:
Yes both of them had mics. But why should that be an issue?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NishantM:
Yup, that's probably the issue. Take my example, I have two Motorola phones i.e. Defy+ and Electrify. Their earphones are not compatible to each other and gives the same issue mentioned by you.

Try connecting an earphone without mic, it would be fine.

--

As there are two types of earphones with mic available, you'll have to try different ones to find one which is compatible. For me, the earphones + mic for iPhone works fine on my Electrify but not on my Defy+
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatltael:
OK thanks. Let me try this out on earphones that don't have a mic. I don't have any around so I'll have to go borrow a friend's.

By the way. The earphones I used were the Samsung galaxy s2 ear buds and a superdry headset with built in mic
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisakaImouto:
If it sounds all whishy washy and is missing complete frequency ranges that could mean the channels are crossing over into each other.

I really do think it's a faulty headphone jack.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bustem:
this happens to me with s2 and lg 2x headphones
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatltael:
OK I just tested the phone on my friend's speakers and the audio output is fine. Guess it was just those earphones that it wasn't working with.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Punkid:
u were having a problem because there are two standards of the 3.5mm jack... one is what apple does, which was actually wrong but has now been accepted as the correct standard :| ...companies like Sony used the global standard up till the Xperia Arc of 2011, but with their 2012 phones they switched to the format apple uses....the difference is in the configuration of the rings, specifically when theres an inline mic included with the headset....u can test thing by playing a song through the headphones, when u hold the button on the headphones, the sound will become ok...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] life58:
Which are the headphones which didnt work and the one which did work?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmm:
I've had headphone jack problems with both my Android phones before the N4 -- in particular, Pandora would prematurely skip to the next song because it interpreted some contact bounce or some such from the headphone jack as a button press. With the N4, I've noticed that if I'm watching a video using headphones (plain headphones, no microphone or controls) and rotate the plug in the jack, voice search will pop up. I think the Android software that detects button pushes on a headphone control is too sensitive.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatltael:
It didn't work using the galaxy s2 earphones and Superdry headphones. Both of em have mics.

It worked with my friend's Sony xperia s earphones and with some random speakers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisjcks:
Are the earphones supposed to go in at an angle? (Can't believe I never noticed this before)

It looks weird, never had a phone that does that.

Also, where is the headset icon?

Its the only phone I've had that shows no differences from having earphones plugged in.

Also, earphone volume isn't that loud at all, can anyone confirm?

seems a lot quieter through the earphones when compared to my One-X although rear speaker is nice and loud (and clear too!)

Your thoughts?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatltael:
I thought the earphones volume was pretty low as well. I hope it can be fixed with a software patch or mod
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexonian:
Thank you for this excellent explanation. I had exactly the same problem with my Sony MH650 headset. I already thought my headphone jack was faulty.

And thanks Apple for bringing up this "standard". :eek: :(

shure

i hope my shure will work, this things cost more than a phone :)

just kidding.

i guess i will now pay more attention while watching youtube reviews and correcting autors when they say: "it has standard 3.5mm headphone jack" :p
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nexonian:
If anybody is interested, the two standards are called CTIA and OMTP. CTIA is what Nexus 4 uses, so look for headsets with that connector.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatltael:
Let me know if it does. I was planning on buying a shure 215 but I'm not sure if it would work or not now :/
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
The Shure SE-215 doesn't have a mic, so it will be fine. This only affects earbuds/IEMs/headphones with a microphone. There are adapters as well.

And it's not super important, but CTIA was not made by Apple. CTIA and OMTP were competing standards, and CTIA won out because Apple started using it in the iPhone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sweeney778:
Hi all, a couple of quick questions which I hope someone can help me with before I continue.

At the moment I have a stock galaxy s2 which is running Android 4.0.4 I am looking to load twrp recovery but cannot find any info whether this is safe from the brick bug on 4.0.4. I believe with cwm recovery I need to make sure I load the correct one to avoid this, I don't know if twrp had the same issue?

Also, I'm looking to flash Infamous Resurrection ROM, does anyone know if this or any other ROMs support HSDPA+ or can I expect most to do that?

Thanks in advance for any help you're able to offer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
in order to get rid of the infamous brick bug( on v4.0.4) u can root ur phone using the Siyah kernel v5.0.1(.tar file flashable with Odin), so that it will root ur phone and install the latest Cwm recovery and also siyah is safe from Brick bug issue:)

after that u can install RR v3.1.2 or RootBox v3.2 on ur phone for HSDPA+ support:)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hidea:
I've been trying to figure out why my Galaxy S3 (i747M/I747MVLALI3/Virgin Mobile Canada-Bell) screen would light up in the middle of the night numerous time, sometimes 4 times a night. There's no specific time either.

I'm running the leaked OTA ROM. I checked my notification, and made sure there's no new notification. The only three ongoing notification are:

• Battery Reborn Widget

• No SIM - (yes, not using this device as a phone)

• Blocking Mode - I set this to Disable incoming calls, notifications, LED indicator between 00:00 AM - 08:00 AM.

I know I can turn over the phone, but that's a not solution as this is obviously an abnormal behaviour.

Is there a way I can check out what's causing the phone to wakeup randomly?

Or even better, is there a way to emulate iOS 6's Do Not Disturb's feature in Android? (absolutely no audible/haptic notification, blocks all calls that aren't on the whitelist - but given an exception if the same number calls within a short period of time).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] OasissisaO:
There is an option in JB for DND hours. As far as it randomly turning on, this is looking like a known bug. I found your post by searching for info about it myself.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSSJ:
Hi,

I recently got to know, that my tab is using UBIFS as file system...what are the advantages compared to the normal ext2-ext4?

I thought about migrating to the ext filesystems, but if someone tells me that UBIFS is better, I'd stay on UBIFS...

Regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jin^eLD:
Hi,

the problem running ext2/3/4 on flash is - sooner or later you will kill the flash. One might not notice it say, on a USB stick, when data is just copied from one place to another occasionally, but things look different if you use it as your root file system where things get written onto it all the time.

I am sure there are more of them around, I am only familiar wit JFFS2 and UBIFS, both are designed for flash media and implement wear leveling routines to make sure that the flash lasts longer.

JFFS2 is somewhat old now, UBIFS is newer and from what I know - better.

I use devices with UBIFS at work and it proved itself very robust, during development I often simply plug off mains without a clean shutdown and I still never ran into a file system corruption or anything like that. So, good to know that our tablets use it :)

Kind regards,

Jin
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSSJ:
Thanks for the clarification. Another question:

Does any kernel support UBIFS or do I normally need to insmod the corresponding module?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Different things, different usages.

UBIFS, YAFFS2 etc are file systems for NAND flash devices. Those memories are not block devices.

EXT3, EXT4, VFAT etc are file systems for block devices, and can not use non block devices such as NAND flash devices.

To be able to use a block device file system on a NAND device, you'll need a Flash Translation Layer (FTL). In every USB memory stick, SSD, SDcard etc, you are viewing the NAND flash via such a translation integrated into the device itself, hence you are able to format is using an ordinary file system such as FAT or EXT4. In GNU/Linux (hence Android as well), you've got such a translation layer in the MTD device (look in /proc/mtd).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jin^eLD:
Theoretically it should be doable if you compile the ubifs modules for your kernel, I did not try that yet, when I was using it for some non tablet ARM9 boxes I simply compiled it into the kernel:

CONFIG_MTD_UBI=y

CONFIG_MTD_UBI_WL_THRESHOLD=4096

CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_RESERVE=1

CONFIG_UBIFS_FS=y

CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_XATTR=y

It turned out that TrekStor Ventos 9.7 tablet uses ext4 file systems, does that mean that this is because of the way how they integrated the flash?

As far I know that for USB sticks / SDcards you can not get around the FTL, would be interesting if this is also the case for the Ventos tablet or if switching to UBIFS would be possible there. Main problem with FTL in my opinion is, that it is usually optimized for specific use cases and mostly those use cases do not include write patters that you have when the device is used as a root file system. That's where UBIFS does a much better job at preserving the flash.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Somewhere you'll need the FTL. If using MMC technology, it's in the memory device itself.

If FTL in software, such as in the MTD case, this would be possible, yes.

Android places its root file system in RAM, not in flash.

The FTL is what differs the flash memory (SSDs, MMCs etc) vendors from each other. Some manufacturers priorities read speed, other write speed, and yet other random access etc. Some uses more spare chips extending the life of the device, at the cost of a more expensive unit. Other throttles the write speed to guarantee the functionality during the warranty period. Basically you'll get what you pay for.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jin^eLD:
Oh.. OK, I did not know that, I'm still quite new to Android. So far I've been playing around with ARM9 devices, building root file systems with OpenEmbedded, but just starting with Android now.

-> "Basically you'll get what you pay for."

That's what I fear :) I had very positive experiences with UBIFS so I'd rather rely on it doing the job than on an FTL, which I know nothing about, that is used in my el-cheapo tablet.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Also, once booted, it remounts root as read-only, so I wouldn't worry too much about wear leveling. ;)

Sure, if you know what you are doing, controlling the FTL, and you can optimize the performance for the particular task you are using the device for. Buying a ready-to-use device using an integrated FTL, and the manufacturer have no other choice than adjusting the FTL parameters for the average customer usage. Still, in most cases I would say this is good enough and the risk of manually creating an even worse profile is quite likely for a noob such as myself.

So basically I flashed a new rom without a nandroid back up since I thought a titanium back up would suffice. I wiped the device, when I rebooted and downloaded titanium from the play store there weren't any back ups in the usual section where it says run and the usual list of options. I reboot back into recovery and attempt to restore using the nandroid back up from two days prior and it says no files found although when I use a file explorer I clearly see that the remaining gb of internal storage match what I would see if all my data had been backed up and see the CWM and Titanium backs ups with the dates of previous back ups.

Neon Rings V1.01

Android 2.1

Free download from Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.leonidshkatulo.neonrings

In the game Neon Rings on a game field there are 16 pairs color rings.

You should arrange rings so that color of big rings coincided with color of the small rings located in them.

It is possible to move only small rings.

For their moving touch the screen within an imagined square from four rings. Thus four small rings will move clockwise on the following big rings.

Repeat it until all 16 small rings will appear in big rings with the same color.

Try to make as the smaller number of courses is possible.

In total on a game field are 16 pairs of rings. Rings can be up to 4 different colors.

In settings you can choose quantity of rings of each color. At performance of settings it is important to remember that total number of rings should be 16. Change of quantity of rings of different colors allows to create various levels of complexity of game.

By pressing New Game button on a game field will be generated a new combination of rings according to settings of rings colors. Thus quantity of possible combinations is very big. To change level it is necessary to press the Replay button. When closing the application current state of game remains, and after an application launch you can continue to play.

Hi Guys,

I am new here, so please excuse me if my question seems stupid. I am a key follower of xda and in fact many of the posts have helped me keep my Note N7000 updated..til now

I received this new firmware upgrade notification today when I connected to Kies desktop; however, multiple efforts to upgrdae seems to fail. Either Kies gets stuck of nothing happens after 100% download and Kies shuts down.

I am surprised here as I normally update using Kies and have never face this problem. I am running ICS 4.0.4 and have always upgraded it myself. I have tried on multiple laptops and with new installations of Kies as well.

Any idea why this could be happening?
