[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 404 ERROR:
I personally think the Nexus 10 sounds pretty good with headphones. I believe it has a Wolfson WM1811 chip.

I have it plugged in with an ATH-m50 and a Fiio E5. Tweaked with the 10-band equalizer from Poweramp, and it sounded pretty good. It's certainly not the best I've listened to (the Cowon S9 sounds better still), but it's good enough to replace my S9 simply because the Nexus is much more hassle free in general.

The sound is definitely missing something though. Not exactly sure what it is.

I might suggest you guys follow Misledz! I use his mod on both a GNex & N7. Fantastic. I consider it a must have. Makes anything a pure joy to listen to.

I'll be glad to test. I'm unboxing & rooting today
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
You got an N10? And I have a build. I'll send the test build later in your inbox
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr8cture:
To me the speakers on it are the best I've heard from any tablet since its front facing and it kinda has a slight surround sound effect since there is one speaker on each side of the tablet. Also the volume is loud enough to where nobody should have a problem hearing it and if you do get a hearing aid. The volume isn't so loud you can go deaf but its loud enough to where everyone in the room should be able to hear it.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalingrin:
The speakers sound pretty good with a bit of EQ. CyanogenMod's DSPManager is perfect for this since you can selectively EQ only the speakers.

Headphone quality is even better. Much, much better than the Galaxy Nexus and on par with some of the best Android devices.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Well I've sent a test build to a few members already let's see how that fares with comparison to stock loudness. :D

But I do thank you for the feedbacks, much appreciated!
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
I'm no audiophile, but the Nexus 10 sounds pretty amazing, compared to the other devices and equipment I've used previously anyway.

I like natural-sounding audio without any DSP enhancements like Bass Boost and whatnot :)
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Well it's got quite the chipset. But I'm sure they sacrificed something, Nexus devices usually sacrifice one thing. Audio, or hardware or something.

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonstrong:
I wouldn't be surprised if the N10 sound can be improved, but I was actually very pleasantly surprised listening to music, movies, etc on mine, as the sound blows away any other tablet I've used to date, blows away my 15" ASUS laptop (3 different models in our house, none of which sound as good as the stock N10). I've seen a few people complain that the size of the speaker slots is misleading, and somehow implies that the speakers are larger than they really are, as can be seen in tear-down photos. I haven't done any serious homework into this -- but I'm wondering if the elongated speaker grills actually server as vents, effectively turning the housing into a slot-vented speaker cabinet.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EniGmA1987:
How do you plan (in detail) to improve the sound on this tablet? Are you going to just make it louder or actually do tweaks to improve the sound? If you are just making things lower, how do you plan on making it louder? A simple voltage increase? Or something more sophisticated?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Tweaks to improve the sound, since as you said the hardware is pretty good, louder is one thing if its needed, else controlled loudness is fine. In terms of libset, voltage increase is pushing it :eek: sounds alot more dangerous and doubt it will be tested :victory:

My HTC One X's USB memory is disappearing and I can't figure out why or where it is going. I discovered this when I was taking pictures/videos and ran out of memory really quickly. I have moved all the pictures/videos to my computer.

Thoughts?

Here is what I have:

HTC One X OS: CyanogenMod 10 ver. 10-20121204-Nightly-endeavoru

Under Settings/Storage it shows:

Internal Storage: Total Space: 2.11 GB Apps: 358MB Available: 1.71GB This is okay.

USB Storage: Total Space 25.24GB

Apps: 608MB

Pictures, videos: 192MB

Audio (music, ringtones, etc.): 1.99GB

Downloads: 1.44MB

AVAILABLE: 2.98GB

The graph shows what looks to be 80% free.

I have also looked at the USB storage when the phone was connected to my computer and it shows the same results.

I should have around 19GB free.
[HTC One X] ArmedandDangerous:
Uninstalled apps sometimes still take up lots of space. I checked my Android folder and individually checked the folders individually but found that the outer folder is 3GB bigger than the folders inside it combined. So I copied the contents, deleted the main folder and transferred everything back :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ranmakei:
Anyone know of a good lojack solution for android that can't be uninstalled?

Like the lojack for Intel AT Laptops that works on the hardware level so that it can still be tracked when the OS is wiped or re-installed. I like the idea of the software being not only hidden but resilient from the thief.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] FMXP:
SeekDroid lets you hide the app on the phone so nobody knows it's there. You can remotely locate, lock, or wipe the phone if it gets stolen or you lose it. Unfortunately I know of no hardware-level solutions for theft recovery like on the Intel Vpro-enabled laptops.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ranmakei:
Thanks!

Looked into SeekDroid and I have to say I'm already impressed with the software! Got it all installed and working, this will do what I need it to. Thanks for the info!

Sounds like a cool app, for those interested there are pro (paid) and lite (free) versions available.

The only app i know that works great is Avast. I have only tried it using CM (Which our phones will have soon enough since the BL is now cracked :) ) it will remain hidden on your phone even after a factory reset and the app is password protected.Search market for avast :)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midnite_:
This question has been wandering me for almost a year.

I saw from somewhere and some people say, after Rooted, the ROM is not ORIGINAL anymore. So, is there a way to take a copy of the original ROM before Rooting?

(Of course I have done more than enough searching and readings. But seems there is no answer of backup before Rooting.)

In fact what I want is simple. (I am not sure if the way to achieve it is difficult or not.)

1. I got a phone with its stock ROM now.

2. I will upgrade it to a new version of Android.

3. Then get it back to that old version of Android.

So the concept is:

1. Original ROM running in phone: [phone [original ROM] ]

2. Take a copy of the ROM: [phone [original ROM] ] ... [original ROM]

3. Phone being altered/updated: [phone [altered ROM] ] ... [original ROM]

4. Put back the original ROM: [phone [original ROM] ]

So all the changes have been rewind and the phone is like its ORIGINAL.

Can we?

If Rooting does not affect the original ROM, and we can "un-root" a phone, I have an idea of the procedure:

1. First, we have: [phone [original ROM] ]

2. Root it: [rooted phone [original ROM] ]

3. Some say we can use ClockworkMod Recovery without installing/flashing it: [rooted phone [original ROM] ] ... [CWM]

4. Backup the Original ROM: [rooted phone [original ROM] ] ... [CWM] ... [original ROM]

5. Phone being altered/updated: [rooted phone [altered ROM] ] ... [original ROM]

6. Put back the original ROM: [rooted phone [original ROM] ]

7. Un-Root the phone: [phone [original ROM] ]

Again, the phone is like its ORIGINAL.

Is it possible??

Thanks a lot for any input!!

Thanks wholeheartedly!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramnex:
Rooting does not affect the rom per se, in most cases it merely alters the kernel and swaps out the recovery mode with a custom recovery. The rom is untouched. A backup can be taken via recovery and it will be a good as the original, in fact, identical to the original, before rooting
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrux.chirag:
In simple, yes it is possible. CWM (ClockWorkMod) can take backup of ur stock rom.

Hope i helped :) .
[HTC One X] sherwaniusman:
I have searching for a solution here for last 2 days but couldn't find one :(

Problem :

My one x is displaying black screen with silver "htc" logo. It does not boot in bootloader or recovery. Although fastboot commands are still running on this blackscreen.

What I did

I successfully unlocked my one x and installed paranoiandroid but when I started using it my phone began to hang and the touch was disable.

Then I read the post for getting bavk to stock using RUU. I followed these step.

- checked my phone version using "fastboot getvar version-main"

- downloaded "RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.17.707.3_Radio_2.1204.135.20_release_278245_signed"

- unlocked the bootloader "fastboot oem lock"

- Ran the RUU exe file.

Now the RUU is giving an error the RUU is not correct but it is the same version which I get from "fastboot getvar version-main" and now my phone is only displaying the black screen with sliver "htc" logo.

I shall be grateful if someone can provide a solution to my problem. Thank you.
[HTC One X] tomascus:
try 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' or 'fastboot oem reboot-bootloader' (forgot which one).

Then try find a correct RUU to flash or just flash a custom ROM.
[HTC One X] sherwaniusman:
Thank you for the reply.

I have tried it. The command executes but the phone again boots in blackscreen with silver "htc" logo. It is not going in bootloader.
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
If you re-run the command fastboot getvar version-main, will it give you the same no. 2.17.707.3 ?
[HTC One X] sherwaniusman:
Yes it is giving the same version and I have downloaded the exact RUU version still RUU fails to complete its setup stating "not correct RUU, download the correct file"
[HTC One X] sherwaniusman:
I was searching for a solution and found that RUU setup also works if the RUU version is an updated version with same region e.g x.xx.707.x.

I have downloaded RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_JB_45_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.24_Radio_5.1204.162.29_release_296434_signed. Should I try this?
[HTC One X] tomascus:
Good luck! :laugh:
[HTC One X] sherwaniusman:
No luck :( same error occurred.
[HTC One X] serwan:
Mind if i asking? Do u just run the RUU or u flash boot_signed.img etc etc first?
[HTC One X] sherwaniusman:
I unlocked the bootloader and ran RUU.exe file from my computer. The setup begins and error occurs while flashing the rom image
[HTC One X] andyoso:
I think you should reinstall the HBoot manually...

What CID do you have?

Is your Bootloader "relocked" ??
[HTC One X] sherwaniusman:
How to reinstall the Hboot?
[HTC One X] serwan:
U need to RELOCKED your bootloader.

Please google how to extract boot_signed.img , recovery_signed.img and rom.zip from RUU. After u've extract those, flash boot_signed and recovery_signed first. Then boot to recovery, flash your rom.zip and only after that u run the RUU. Give it a try.
[HTC One X] andyoso:
You should download it before...if you give me your CID pass you the correct link to download the correct "firmware.zip" that contains the HBoot.

After the downloading you should type this command twice:
[HTC One X] sherwaniusman:
Thank you. My cidread returns HTC_044. Also I have logged into bootloader screen again. I just ran the Unlock_bin file I received during rooting my device and now my phone isn't displaying the black screen and finally entered bootloader.

The problem I figured out was my bootloader was relocked and my RUU setup failed, so I had a custom rom installed with locked bootloader. That's why the phone was bricked I wan't entering bootloader.

Now I can access my recovery as well.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
You don't need to extract anything from the ruu, if you have the right ruu just lock the bootloader and leave the phone there ... Start the ruu from pc with admin rights.....
[HTC One X] serwan:
Im speakung from my experiance. I have face this problem before. RUU program cant install the rom. So i have to flash everything extracted from RUU first. Only after that the RUU can install the rom. But maybe im just got lucky though. :D

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marff:
Hi All

My Desire Z came back from HTC recently after being repaired as the speaker failed.

I had rooted the phone and it was running CWM+CM7.1, HTC returned it running HBOOT+Gingerbread 2.3.3 so I tried to root it again

First I gained temp root and downgraded to an exploitable firmware

wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Firmware_Downgrade_(Gingerbread)

This was successful.

I then attempted to gain s-off and install CWM recovery

wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/HTC_Desire_Z:_Rooting

Again this seemed to work ok, all the steps worked, I gained root and S-off, flashed CWM recovery and all appeared well, except I had no mobile data. I put this down to the exploitable 2.2 being a ROM from Asia and didn't think anything more of it.

This is where it went wrong.

I had taken a backup of my 7.1 OS before sending it back, I attempted to install the backup and it failed. When I powered the phone up I got the "HTC Quietly Brilliant" screen on a loop.

So I thought I'd reboot into CWM recovery, and reinstall the exploitable 2.2, then try and install a fresh copy of Cyanogen 7.2.

When I held down the front button, volume down and started the phone, I was met with HBOOT recovery rather than CWM which I thought was strange. I reinstalled 2.2, installed CWM Rom Manager again and downloaded CM7.1, put the zip on the SD Card and instructed Rom Manager to reboot into CWM which it did.

I chose to install the zip, it very quickly finished which was odd, and then rebooted the phone and I got the CM7.1 boot animation on a loop.

Again I front button+vol down power up, got HBOOT and reinstalled the exploitable 2.2, again minus mobile data.

So now I'm stuck. I don't know where to go from here to make CWM the primary recovery and install a new ROM.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Similar Issue with Desire HD Rooting !

As far as i know ,

I had a very similar issue while rooting my friends Desire HD.

After a successful downgrade , NO mobile Data > the desire HD did not reboot properly, i.e it did not *restart* , removing battery & starting was ok !! ( CWM ... similar Rom-flashing issues like yours ! )

Anyways ... after a LOT of work , lot of trial & error , i finally tried to re-download the HTC 2.2 img file Or the HTC RUU, whatevery you choose !

flash the official img file , which should send you back to android 2.2 , Unrooted + without CWM.

Then re-start.

Just make sure that the img file is the correct version / downloaded fully !!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tanjinjack:
Hi all,

Just got my Xperia S and really love the phone with fantastic design and awesome screen. I really intend to gain root access for my phone to troubleshoot the battery drain issue further (and using some app for better control over the setting). Here's a few queries I have (and some partially answered by some of my searches on the forum):

Will I get any OTA or official firmware update shall I just root my phone with locked bootloader? (I won't mess with custom recovery or ROM)

I suppose I could still claim my warranty. But is there anyway to remove any traces completely to prevent them from finding out? Just removing the superuser app?

If in the future I would like to have access to custom recovery so that I could flash ROM, I suppose I must unlock the bootloader right? (at least until someone gets a workaround for locked bootloader)

The tool I will use for rooting is by Bin4ry. I am on the latest ICS firmware.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Theonlyzii:
Yes you'll definitely get official update

To remove trace completely just flash an official ROM via flashtool (official fw can be obtained at dev section)

No can install some stock based Custom Rom and CWM in locked bootloader

Eg : XTX,dualcore,Xcream,etc

What you can't do is flash a kernel. You'll need to flash a kernel to install Cyanogen Mod or Paranoid based rom
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tanjinjack:
Hmm, I guess I could get official update, just worry that I would lose root during the update. I think I could still try to retain my root using some app right? (LOL, I am a bit outdated about all these stuff - was using a HTC Desire where 2.3 is the best we could go)

I am observing that my screen is a bit yellowish throughout, perhaps I will send in for a warranty before I do anything.

Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate it and clear off some doubts.

I already lost the nexus 7 stock charger and my S3's charger, is there anything out there that someone recommends for charging the Nexus 7 at full rate (~2A rate, I believe)? Also would be nice to be able to charge my Galaxy S3 at full rate (~1A) using that one charger...so 3.1A+ would be ideal.

I've checked Amazon and such, just curious of anyone's experiences on here with chargers and the Nexus 7 because it's not always clear whether a charger actually charges the Nexus 7 at max charging rate. Any help is greatly appreciated!

edit: considering this one:

I'd probably want to pick up a couple of these..so $10 (yes, call me cheap) is a little more than I was hoping to pay for an off brand charger, even if I could live with a single port charger as long as it charges my Nexus 7 at max charging rate. I paid around the same price for (4) iPad 10w chargers on eBay when I was using iDevices so I'm wondering if there's anything that's a better value for the Nexus 7?

if you are rooted you could try to format the card in CWM, not sure though if it is 1) possible and 2) if it is then formated to Fat32 or the system you had on it before.
